A BRYCE OGicers Believed TO Have Reen
Murdered az sea.

The Boston Post OF the twenty fourth
ultimo says:
1t is now believed that the fine brig Mary
Celeste, of about 236 tons, commanded by
Captain Benjamin Briggs, st Marion, Mas
sachusetts, was seized by pirates in the lat
ter part OF November, and that, after muir
dering the captain, his wife, child and Off
GERS, the vessel was abandoned near the
Western Islands, where the miscreants are
supposed to have landed. The brig left
New York on the seventeenth of November
for Genoa, with a cargo Of alcohol and 10
said to have had crew consisting mostly
of foreigners. The theory now is, That some
of the men probably obtained access to the
cargo, and were thus stimu lated to the des-
perate deed.
The Mary Celeste was fallen in with hy
the British brig Del Gratis, Captain More
house, who left New York about the middle
of November The hull of the Celeste was
fOuu,, in good condition and safely lowed
into Gibraltar, where she has since remain
ed. The confusion in which many things
were found Oh hoard, including ladies' APP
parel, etc, led, y it'll other circumstances, to
suspicion of wrong Nnd outrage, which has
by no means died Gus. One Of the latest
letters from Gibraltar received in Boston
says: The Vice Admiralty CoGrt sat yester-
day, and will sit again tomorrow The
cargo of the brig has been claimed, and TO-
morrow the vessel will be claimed.
The general opinion is that there has b6eu
foul play on board, as spots of blood or the
blade of a sword, in the cabin, and on the
rails, with . sharp eut on the wood, indi-
cate force or violence having been used,
but how or by whom, is the question. Soon
after the vessel was picked up, it was con-
sidered possible that a collision might have
taken place. Had this been the ease, and
tho briggs officers and crew saved, they
would have been landed long ere this. We
trust that if any of New England's ship
masters can give any information or hint of
strange boats or seamen landing at ans of
the islands during the past ninety days,
that they will see the Importance thereof.

More Elevators Wantsd.
From the St. Louis Democrat


Although st. Louis has largely increased
aer ability for storing grain in bulk, she has
@os provided, by fifty per cent, the amount
OF regular elevator room really required
To build elevators inland is waste of
-aonay. They should all be placed upon
HE rTver bank; whether upon this side or
che other does not so much matter, but 10
pat them iGiaud, especially upon the other
aide, 10 unwise. We have already seen that
we can not depend upon retaining a corn
trade with the Vast, because of the uncer-
sanity concerning rail treghts. Occasion
ally rates are ia gorable, and We find an i'm
saense trade in motion at once. At such
times elevators situated as is the advance"
ran do d good business; but during the en-
tare boating season-a period of eleven
months-corn IN leyators able to load INTO
barges Is always salable. just at the pres
snt time there is but little bulk corn going
sout by river, owing to there being no COM
Pcting barg" line. If there was competing
barge line, we dare say several lows Of bulk
corn would have been shipped before ths;
hut while package freight is pressing, and
10 willing to pay more than grain can pay,
why package freight has the p, eference.
vs. make no untavorable criticism upon
;Ehis fact, but content ourselves with the
statement that there ought to be more bulk
grain tonnage. Equally urgent is the need
If more elevators

The Indianola Bulletin saws:

Colonel Ed. Cunningham, that indefatic-
able contractor on our railroad, returned
from New Orleans on the steamship Harlan.
Messrs. Cunningham end Schleioher will
turn the road over as far as Cuero on the
first proximo. We feel that We are not
asserting toe much in saying that their sork
has been put down in a substantial and sat
isfactory manner, and has met the approval
~ the company. d
The same paper also says:
A new locomotive for tbs railroad com
pany arrived on the steamer W. G. Hewes
on her last trip from Brashear Regular
trains will soon run into Cuero, bringing us
within seventy miles of San antonio Cuero
IS d good point for the departure of immi-
grants TO ali parts of Western Texas, and
We would advise all persons DESTROYS of
locating in Western Texas from abroad 70
take the steamship to lndianols and thence
the railroad direct to Cuero. This will place
them in o central position, giving an oppor-
tunity to branch out in various directions IN
the vest OF small expense.
