Captain A. NJ. Hutchinson arrived yester-
day, per rail, from st. Louis, and cor
roboratcs the above dispatch. Captain
Abe came down in place of Commodore
William +. Davidson, to fully investigate
the causes Of the collision between the John
Kyle and tho ocean tug Reliance. Captain
Abe Hutchinson was. for q long period. the
Superintendent of "Davidson's White Collar
Line" and he is q man of much energy.
possessed with great shrcwdness, and.
withal. honest. This latter attribute is one
of such rarity now -a-days. that 1t almost
makes man Il wonder to be possessed of 1t.
However, Captain Abe has it, and We think
the claimants Of salvage on the Kyle. will
fully realize the fact before long.
In the st. Louis E~ning Dispatch of the
third. We find the following concerning a
well known mate on the river, ut present
confined in the Parish Prison on the charge
of killing colered deck hand. We heartily
ndorsc the opinion of the writer. Colonel!
f. NJ Joel, as We know that he speaks
truthtully: We have known Moses Gibbs
for several years, and always found him
| remarkably quiet. steady and sober man. IN
fact we know few mem III any business
| more so. and it Is generally known tina! he
! is lame. having hardly any inore s.ian one
hand and We hope The evidence Will prove
that the killing wa- perfectly iustitiabe.
! His preliminary examination will take place
! this week w'len We will give such particu-
! lars "a, .nay be furnished rs.
| The examination of Mr.. Gibbs will take
| place today. aud there's scarcely any doubt
! Of his acHuital.
