The sin of the late Mr.. Mills, the
deiaulting and deceased President OF the
Brooklyn, N. Y, Trust Company, was
taking money that didn't belong to him
for his own use-a thing which was call

To the ordinary mind and conscience it
seems dishonest to do as he did but a
New York Judge and McCue, trustee
of the trust company, think that Mr.
Mills did nothing dishonest he only com.

own. The view which the. judge takes
OF the case indicates lower state of mo.
rali,y than the embezzelment of the de-
iauter.

and volume of smoke reaching to an
immense hight and of a density such as
was never before seen there covered
Brooklyn completely from the sunlight
and extended for miles over the bay and
out TO sea. The fremen, who were
promptly on hand, were unable to APP
proach the yard or docks, owing to the
intense heat and sufocatng smoke. Capt.
Meyers Of one Of the tank. boats was killed
by the explosion, and large number Of
boatmen jumped into the water to escape
roasting alive. Two deck hands named
Williams and Henderson are missing. The
fire was on the same ground as the great

the United States to compete with Cana

to land their fish at Newfoundland ports

somely in the air as it moved out into
position, looking like reality. Steadily
the skirmishers pushed forward, now ad-

vanced, and the artillery pouring in their
fire until the attacking party reached the
desired point. when the order was given
to "cbarge," aud with that old yankee

and his detachment who were working
the gun, by this time began to comprc-
bend their situation ana attempted to save
their gun by drawing it to the rear, but
it was too late, and after gallant resist
ance they were compelled to abandon it
to the enemy, who speedily transferred
it to the headquarters Of the Sd brigade
in triumph, bearing the gunners upon
same for the captors. Almost Immediate
ly detachment was formed to endeavor
to re.capture it, and Adjutant j. G.
Stearns went as a spy to the enemy's
camp, but was detected by Gen. Ripley
and arrested by Capt. Kelley Of his staff
and placed in the guard house Every
precaution was taken to strengthen their
position, by destroying bridges, throwing
out strong picket, etc. etc. but che
counter charge was made as CALAMITY as

enemy's works, when severe hand to

resulted in the rocapture of the caisson

then lay upon the gun to add their weight
to the burden to be moved, but amid its
excitement, not one man upon either side
displayed any anger, or forgot the pro-
priety Of the occasion, and the utmost
good humor prevailed, After the 4th
brigade had abandoned the attempt to
recover the gun, a treaty was entered
into, the wheels brought back, and the

SOUTHERN FEELING TOWARDS THE NORTH.
"A correspondent of the New York
Post, who has made an extended tour
among the Carolinas and Georgia, says
there is great curiosity in those regions
to hear about the North, especially Of
New England. The people were as anx-
ious to know about the method of con.
Quoting political caucuses, public schools,
courts Of justice, town business and mer-
camille affairs as might suppose English
men to be. The writer says:
"Of New England, in particular, the
knowledge is very slight, and it was hard
to gain credulous ear when it became
necessary to detail the wealth and the
density of the population of the county.
The prevalent ideas respecting the tone
Of the northen people towards the sothern-
ers and their concerns are in the main ex-
tremely mistaken. The great majority
think that in the North there is deep,
widespread and ineffaceable autipathy to
them and their enterprises. At the same
time while they are sure that this is all
rue, they constantly assert that they
have no reciprocal feeling of that kind;
and after innumerable conversations with
all circumstances, the writer is certain
that this is truly the case"

Unlike other Cathartics, Dr.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets do not, after
their operation, have secondary tendency
to render the bowels more costive. This
is an important improvement, as all who
have ever taken many pills or other
cathartics for the purpose of overcom-
ing constipation, know to their sorrow
that the secondary effect of all such med-
cines has been "to render a bad matter
worse" These Pellets produce such a
secondary tonic effect upon the bowels as
to bring about a permanent healthy action.
Hence their great value, taken in small
doses daily for a length of time, in habit.
