A Story of Horror.

A Paris correspondent of the Tribune
tells the following story. 1t has a very
doubtful aspect. We cannot believe all
that the war chroniclers tell Is. Their
prejudices give q strong coloring to most that
they narrate, while in some instances
there is not even a foundation in fact for
their startling stories. But to the story
l have referred in previous letters to
the danger of raising against any one
whomsoever the cry of PrussianiSm. The
village of Hautefaye (Dordogne) has
within the last two days been the theatre
Of q crime of so hideous 4 character as to
remind one of the barbarities of the middle
ages. Without entering into the details OF
the preliminary incidents, it will suffice to
state that q wealthy landed proprietor, the
owner of the chateau of Bretagnes, one
Sieur de Moneys d'Ordieres, was burnt
alive by the populace under the impress
sion that he had cried L" ViUe la PrusSe :"
1t appears that lie did make use of these
words, but only at the end of a reply he
was addressing to q band Of fellows who
had insulted him and his cousin by point
ing them out as .'fine gentlemen who paid
others to fight the Prussians for Them" NJ.
de Moneys Indignantly denied the allega-
tion, and even declared that though rich,
he Ult uOl ltlltllt W phiShaSS a.
but would himself risk his life forthe coun-
try. He added 4" Those who, at such a mo-
ment, endeavor to shilk the discharge OF
their patriotic duties are towards, and
make common cause with all who shout
"Vive la Prusse 7" These last words alone
were heard by Il part of the band who had
provoked this retort. 1t was sufficient. The
young man Che was only twe%nty-nine) was
Immediately set upon, and fed. He was pur-
sued, recaptured, and beaten and kicked,
and then dragged TO Il dried-up bed of a
pond in the field where the fair is usually
held.
The ferocious rufians next got a heap of
faggots and put the already halfdead man
upon it, and, having heaped more over him,
set the pile on fire. The unfortunate young
man. unable to move, expired in awful
agony. His father arrived while the young
man was being burnt. When the fire was
cytinguiShed the body was a mere charred
heap The loyalty of NJ. de Moneys was
notorious, and no one seems to be able to
account for this savage act. The judicial
authorities are in search of the perpetrators
of this atrocity.

Fearful Murder I'm O~pelOusaS-A
Deputy Sheriff A~ssassinates his Pri-

SOEer.
From the New Orleans Picayune, September 8.
Some two weeks ago Deputy Sheriff
Mayo, of the parish of st. Landry, was
shot and killed in the town of Opelousas by
James G. Hays, upon whom the deceased
was %endeavoring to serve an order OF the
eighth district court. Hays was the
slieerif-elect of the people, while Mayo was
the deputy of Dr.. Thompson, the sheriff
anpointed bv the GovernOr-the latter not
recognizing the election Of Hays. so IL
would seem there were two rival sherlf1s,
and HAYS, not recognizing the validity OF
his rivals claim to office, refused to be
served with the writ by Mayo, and, on
Mayo persisting in entering his premises,
shot him dead. He Immediately surrendered
himself, and after the usual preliminary eA-
animation was committed TO jan. Whetner
charged with murder or homicide we
know not.
Havs's two boys, mere children, shared
his incarceration. From the first ne ana
his friends feared assassination. and 1t was
thought the presence of the children "ouio
touch the heart and avert from his purpose
the villain who might be hired to under
take the bloody deed. They were too
young to be of any physical avail in his be-
half, and the hope in their helplessness
clinsing to the wretched father awakening
a touch Ofnature in his assassin was equally
unavailing. He was brutally shot to death,
not by any disguised hand from outside,
but by an officer of the law, I. w. Evans,
his %jailor, and one of Thompson,s deputies.
He tired into his body with Il double-bar-
relied shot gun, ever while his victim slept
between his children, and literally blew his
heart out.
We understand that Evans confesses to
have been hired to do the deed. We trust
there will be no further bloodshed, and to
that end the law-abiding citizens of the
parish should unite, utterly ignoring poiti-
cal differences.

Disappearance of the y~essel-Survi-
yOrs of the Grew.
LONDON, September 11.-Admiral Milne
mikes the following report of the circum-
stances attending the disappearance of the
iron-clad Captain
81 was on board the Captain on the
morning OF the 9th. Everything was in
order. 4 sailing trial began in the after
40 The b.erzc was moderate, and the
ships carried royals. At 4 in the afternoon
the breeze freshened. The Captain was
making from eleven to thirteen knots. It
was observed that the sea washed over her
lee deck, her gunwale sometimes being
level with the water. ! left the Captain at
5a 2. NJ, when she was twenty miles off
FiniSterre. Evolutions were resumed and
continued from S to 10 p. NJ, the ships
being ut their designated positions. A
westward course was taken. At II ?. NJ.
the wind %freshened, the barometer fell, and
a gale sprung up. Our sails were reefcd.
The Captain was close astern of the flag
ship, steaming steadily, and gaining on us.
| noticed, at * A. NJ, that she was six
points abatt our beam, heeling over very
much. Her light a few minutes later was
still visible, after which a thick rain shut
her out. At dawn ten ships Of the fleet
were to be seen, but the Captain was miss
ing. The squadron scattered to search for
her, when fragments Of the wreck were
found, but no survivors could be discov-
ered."
LONDON, September 11.-Eighteen of the
crew of the iron-clad Captain have reached
Cape Corrobedo. They report that another
boat full of people was stove and upset, n
all on board were lost.

New ORLEANS, September 13.-Dr. Russell,
secretary OF the Board of Health, publishes
a card, in which he says: "To business
men and others who contemplate visiting
New Orleans, | would say that from present
appearances there is no reason why they
caalnot come now with as much surety as at
any time during the year. The mortality
in this city since July 1st has been less than
that of any other city in the United States
in proportion to population. There is no
occasion for the alarming and exaggerated
reports which have been circulated con-
corning the health Of our city"

The chapel OF the village was q Hospital
filled with men too badly wounded for re-
moval. The mangled French and Prug-
slams were huddled together on the straw,
and the weary surgeons were still at work
with them. Some, whose wounds were
dressed, lay tucked in their blankets with
an air OF comfortabIeness {; the others
were suffering intensely-thefr CLASSY stare,
clenehed teeth, and heavy breathing were
evidence. s a"
aPAINFUL SCENE.
A young Prussian, n tall and g%entlemanly
soldier, was near the door lying on his face,
and q civilian, who seemed to have a special
interest in the case, was, with trembling
fingers, removing his clothing to look at
the wound. He found on the white, round
body Of the young man, near the spine, a
bright red spot, and looking no further,
burst into tears. :
Fl WORK OF BURYING.
One of our English friends dismounted to
give me q rest in riding, which was a most
acceptable courtesy, and we presently
passed a field where o large burial party
were at work. They had dug a trench
about seven feet In width, wasting a very
few inches, and two or three feet in depth
(iberal measurement), and had gathered
the dead from The vicinity.
While some were digging, others were
picking up the dead. The way they do
that is, four men using shovel-handles or
muskets. as may be convenient, as hand
spikes. put them under the shoulders and
knees of the corpse, and carry it to the
side of the grave then each corpse is lifted
by two men, one at the head and the other
at the heels, and placed in the trench,
where, the face being covered by some ar
ticle of clothing leap or coat usually, the
dirt is loosely shoveled on. Generally about
one hundred men are laid away in this
style in Il row., though where the carnage
has been extraordinary they make the
graves to accommodate more.
