This is from the Bay St. Louis Gazette:

This is from the Bay st. Louis G0scHe:
nooga railroad ran over an OK and killed
him, some five or six miles west of Bay St
Louis. Strange to sey, the night following
the conductor Of freight train from Mobile
to New Orleans found near the same place
slight obstruction placed on the track, in
the shape of cross tie laid across it, and
when he slackened speed to have it re
moved. double load Of buckshot was fired
at him from the bushes near by. OfcOurse
it was too dark to see the perpetrator or te
pursue him, but we hear that there is some
slight clue, and that the criminal will prob
ably be brought to Justice.

A Washington dispatch says of one of thu
most faithful officials at Washington:

General Spinner has recovered from his
late serious illness. He has been rendered
the South American mission, with view OF
recruiting his health, but declined. The
suggestion was subsequently made by the
President, and cOncurred in by Secretary
Boutwell, and other members Of the Cabinet,
that his presence and advice in Europe, in
connection with the new loan, would be Of
great value to the government.
Accordingly, General Spinner has con.
scented to visit Europe on that business, in.
tending to be absent several months, and
will visit the principal cities, including Lon
don, Frankfort-on the Main, Vienna and
Berlin.
He will leave this country toward the last
of the present month. Assistant Secretary
Richardson will also visit Europe ON similar
business, after the new bonds shall have
been DreDared

A QaecP Craft. @
The Mobile. Tribune thus describes q
queer-leoking craft:
living at the wharf, foot of Eslava street,
disckarging cargo of ice for Messrs. Tay-
lor & Co., q strange looking vessel, whose
popularity of rig, and long, narrow, general
rakish appearance has attracted crowds of
our people down that way to take look at
her.
She bears the name New England, is a
four. masted, square-rigged schooner or
barkatine, her hull is Of iron. She meas
ures two hundred and eight feet in length
over all, one hundred and ninety feet be-
tween perpendiculars, one hundred and
eighty-six feet keel, is twenty-five feet wide,
fifteen feet four inches depth of hold, and
registers 462 tons.
The New England, or the Cambria, as
she was first called, was built by and in the
city of Dublin in 1850, and has had most
beautiful career. Sailing out Of that port
in the first place as o mail steamer to cross
the English Channel, her owners came to
the conclusion that she was not exactly
suited to that business, and she was sold, .
party of Confederate States merchants be.
coming her purchasers. Under the COnfed-
crate flag she bore the name of Gambia, and
made six successful trips out of Whining
ton, North Carolina, as q blockade runner.
On the seventh trip she was run ashore and
Captured by the federal feet, her crew
efecting their escape in the small boats.
After this the federsls put her to do duty
as q gunboat at the mouth of Wilmington
bay, to break up the very traffic in which
she had SO lately been engaged, and by rea-
son of her speed succeeded in making sew
eral captures. When the war was over she
was carried into one of the navy yards for
the purpose OF being broken up Is no longer
serviceable, but an examination of her hull
showed that she had value considerably
above 'old junk" and she was conse-
quently ordered to be sold. Her now pur-
chasers stripped her of all her machinery,
sidewheels and other appliances OF a steam
going vessel, added six or eight feet to the
upper part Of her hull, and finally set her
afioat again in her present shape.
Thus we find che has sailed under three
flags, performed four distinct lines of duty,
borne three names, and from war steamer
has finally settled down into the moro quiet
role of merchant sailor. The quality Of
speed for which she was famed as q mail
steamer and blockade runner and gun
boat still adhere to her, and as we are in
formed by her commander, Captain Baxter,
the only drawback to her is her length,
which, though no disadvantage out at sea,
makes her little cumbersome to manage
in narrow streams and about the docks.

A KDNAPPER.-On the eighth ultimo Ann

inform him that some one had stolen her in
