Surrender of Col. Alcibiades De
Blanc.

This gentleman, prominent Creole
citizen of st. Martins Parish, La, and
leader of the st. Martins militia in their
late defensive campaign against Kellogg's
Metropolitan Police, surrendered, with
tensother leaders, to a Deputy United
States Marshal ON Monday, the 18th inst.
Col. De Blanc was by no means forced
to this surrender, as Genl Badger and
his force, the Metropolitan Police, were
at the time very much at his mercy. In
deed IT wouh seem that the latter had
from the beginning been totally unable
to contend with Col. De Blanc and his
militia. Upon surrenderinghimself and
liSbanding his forces, Col. Dc Blanc
writes to Gov. McEnery very manly
and truthful letter, giving brief but
perspicrous account of his late mover
ments in st. Martins Parish, his motives
fer organizing local militia force and
defying the Metropolitans, and his rea-
sons for disbanding his troops in face OF
the U. S. military and surrendering to
the U. S. Marshal. In this letter, Col.
De Blanc makes three noteworthy points,
First, he was resolved not to assent to the
validity of the Kellogg government by
yielding to the Metropolitan Police. Sec
ond, he was resolved not to be brought
into collision with the United States
military, and thus. made liable to the
charge of high treason against the United
States. Third, heand his command and
the citizens who sympathized with their
objects, had no. thought of interfering
with the rights,of colored citizens, and
were reree"tly willing to recognize all
the Radical officers elected, provided they
would recognize McEnery as Governor.
On the 18th. Col. De Blanc and those
who surrendered with him arrived IN
New Orleans in charge of Deputy Mar
shall and squad Of Federal soldiers.
Upon stepping from the boat they were
received with tremendous cheers by
crowd of seven or eight thousand citizens
who had assembled to welcome them.
They were Then released, TO appear be-
fore United States Commissioner next
day All were admitted to bail, each on
bond for $4,000.
Thus the war in Louisiana is ended
temporarily at least. But with President
Grants boldly avowed purpose OF crush
hing the people into submission to tyran-'
ny, outrage, usurpation, and fiagrant
subversion OF law, there is no telling
when fierter and still more lasting trou--
bles may break. out.

A singular case is reported by an Iowa
physician. A young man, aged 2s years,
and living about five miles south OF
Hamburg, Ia, attempted to vaccinate
himself He cut cash in his arm, took
some virus from tho arm of his sister,
who had been vaccinated several days
previous, and inserted it in the wound,
covering the whole with piece of mois-
tened newspaper. No symptoms of the
kine-pox appeared, butin a few days the
wound became running sore, and on
the sixth day from the vaccination, the
attending physician decided that morti-
fication had set in to such an extent that
the only means ofsavinghis life would be
by amputation OF the arm. The ampn-
tuition was accordingly performed, bat
too late to save the life of the patient.

Judge Carpenter and Treasury War.

In the court room Yesterday in the case
of Niles G. Parker vs. r. ]. Donaldson
Judge Carpenter made point. which We
deem well taken for the Judge and well
taken for the State-a point good in Law
and good for the public treasury. He
held that Treasury Warrants issued to a
State officer in pursuance Of a Legislative
appropriation, were not transferable or as
signable for the reason that they are the
property of the State; and the officer tc
whom they are issued is but the naked
custodian Of the funds which the warrants
represent. :,
This is the right view. Had it prevailed
rather earlier in the day, or had the ex-
Attorney General who now assents to the
principle, made it effective when he was
the legal officer of the State Government
much would have been saved to plum
dered State and robbed treasury

to the crops in Texas by the late cold
weather, and from altthat can begleaned
from diferentsources, the harTa is neither
extensive nor great. The truth is, such
reports are modified by the individual
case; for instance, if one mans crops
are seriously injured, he sees only gen.

is sure no serious damage win result. Sc
modified by individual conditions, re
