True Account of the Death of
General Phil Kealney.

An officer of Stonewall Jackson's
command relates an interesting remi-
niseence of the death of General Phil
kearney, of the federal army, who
fell mortally wounded in one of the
bloody and hard contested battles on
the Potomac, during the late war-of
which the relator was an eyewitness.
He says
. The gallant Kearney received his
death wound from a private in my
command, and when he fell from his
horse fastened with many others to
the point where he lay, not supposing
that his wound was a mortal one.
Just as we reached his body, however,
his limbs gave one convulsiye culver,
and then all was over. Seeing that
he was Major General, word was
sent TO headquarters to the effect, and
General Jackson, coming to the spot,
immediately gave one glance at the
dead officers features and exclaimed:
My God, boys, do you know who
you have killed? You have shot the
most gallant officer in the United
States army This is Phil Kearney,
who lost his arm. in the Mexican war;
He then involuntarily lifted his hat,
every officer in the group following
his example, and for a moment a
reverential silence was observed by
all. Subsequently, the body of the
dead soldier was placed upon two
boards, and when being removed to
headquarters, was followed by Gen
eral Jackson, General Ewell and other
officers, while regimental band pre-
ceded it. PLAYING a dead march!n

The SUPPLEMENTAL Enforcement bill. i

The supplemental Enforcement bill. it
will he seen, was passed yesterday in the
House of Representatives. In the discussion
on the BILL the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, says The democrats oc-
cupied most of the day in an opposition so Wig
orous and effective in its character that when a
vote wasreached the Radicals themselves propo,
sed to abandon the section which gave the dep
uty marshals the power to call the military and
naval forces to their assistance. This remarka-
bic transfer of power from the President as
commander-in-chief to an under official was a
little too much for even the present House to
accept. However, all the other details OF the
bill. such as allowing arrests to be made with
out warrants, and to prevent the citizen from
seeking redress tor grievances in State court,
were adopted, and the bill sent to the Senate
for concurrence The bill applies, as it stands.

Judiciary committee maintained that if any exl
gency arose, the act could be construed to cover
every township in the land.

\ New MARINE DIsAsTER.-On the 18th OF
January. the England left Queenstown with
two hundred passengers On her first day out
a severe storm was encountered. which lasted
for five days. but did no other damage to the
vessel than causing her to ship 4 small quantity
Of water in the hold
So far. all was well: but scarcely had the
tempest abated when new danger arose The
whole ship was filled with dense volume of
offensive and sitting fumes: which made respi-
ration. or, indeed. existence below decks, I'M
possible. The engineers and fremen were
forced to abandon the engines, and all hands
working below were driven to the deck. Many
were almost suffocated before reaching it. and
were dragged through the hatchways insensible
and almost dying. The saloons were, in like
manner, quickly rendered untenantable, and
the open deck itself was little better. For
tunatelv the wind shifted ahead. blowing the
fumes aft and leaving breathing space for
ward. where crew and passengers huddled in
CONSERVATION.
With some difficulty and danger the source
of the trouble was then investigated, and it was
found that a number of barrels of bleaching
powder which made part of the cargo, had
shifted and broken open, and that the powder,
mingng with the water in the hold. had pro-
duced the very unpleasant effects We have de
scribed The worst ofthe matter was that the
disaster was entirely without remedy. No man
could live in the hold long enough to remove
the obnoxious packages. or in the engine. room
to feed the fires, and the captain, Is last re-
snnne, was obliged to put his vessel before the
wind and return to Queenstown.
