wilkinson, the Confidence Man.

Wilkinson, the Confidence Man.
The Louisville Commercial of Tuesday
morning says:
Yesterday morning James Wilkinson. the
we'll known fugitive from the State of Lou
isiana, was taken before Chancellor Bruce
upon two writs, one q heabeas corpus and
testificandum sued out by his attorneys,
and also on petition and writ OF habeas
corpus by j. J. Pearson, the agent for the
State of Louisiana, demanding of the jaier
to know why he held the prisoner in def
ance of the order of the circuit Judge Or
dering him to be delivered to him upon the
requisition of the Governor of Louisiana,
and the warrant from the Governor OF this
State.
Judge Bruce remarked that upon the
face Of the papers that the party had been
ordered to be delivered to the agent of
Louisiana, and that the order having been
made in accordance with the constitution
and statutes of the United States, and the
statute of our State made in conformity
with the same, the agent to whom he was
committed had a right to take him, without
regard to bail writs, bond warrants, or
other writs, the order for extradition
being in conformity with the higher laws.
The only thing he could see upon the face
of the papers was that the jailer had re-
fused to obey the order of the circuit judge,
which was matter that he could not de-
eide, as it belonged exclusively to the cir
cult judge. Under all the circumstances he
was compelled to reconmit the accused to
the custody in which he found him. to
await the action of the circuit Judge. Will
kinson was then committed to Jail, where
he will remain until the arrival of Judge
jackson, which will not be until the latter
part of the week.

From the Border.

Special dispatches from the Rio Grande,
in the Galveston Times of the second in
slant, give the following:
A diligence arrived from Monterey with
dates to the twenty fifth of April, which
state that General EscobedO had reached
there with 5000 federal troops, and united
with Generals Fuero and Pal8cies. Cen
eral Qaeroga had defeated the revolution
lists under Naranja in skirmish near Ce.
ralvO. General Diaz. With the main revOlu-
tionary force, was at Mier, advancing to-
ward Monterey. The two columns Of op-
posing forces are within q few days march
of each other, and q general action can not
long be delayed.
A private letter just received from
prominent American merchant in Monterey
says the revelutionists may yet obtain some
advantages, but can not triumph. The
government is streng, and is now concen.
trating. to pacify the frontier, all her forces
now super fuous in other parts OF the re-
public. According to late and Trustworthy
advices from the capital, some 5000 men
will shortly be landed Ut Aatamoras, and
here in Monterey reinforcements are being
received constantly. 8he rev0lutiOnists are
out of money, and can not hold out long.
Diaz impressed about 100 citizens Of Ca
MARCO, bat he did not molest any foreigners.
Nothing has - yet basa heard Of Fuero.

A Now Southern Attraction.


The busy season is near its close, and our
! citizens are coming their summers pro
gramme of pleasure and recreation. Tho
centennial exposition will draw large num-
bers to the Quaker metropolis, but it is
gratifying to note that more than ever DO
fore is q disposition manifested to seek in
Southern resorts that health and enjoyment
which it has been too much tho fashion to
purchase at great cost in distant places.
For two or three years this tendency to sup
port home institutions has been notably on
an increase, with the very natural result
that attractiveness and facilities have kept
pace with enlarged patronage, until .
elimination has been attained in the cree
ton of the "Grand Hotel" ut Point Clear,
which leaves even habitusl visitors to the
famous caravanseries of Saratoga, Newport
or Longbranch nothing to wish for.
On one of the lovliest sites of the entire
American coast, where invigorating sea-
breezes mingle with health giving zepbyrs
from scented pine forests, where drives
and promenades through groves Of spread
the invalid and the INDECENT, Messrs. H. c.
Baldwin & Co. have erected hotel unsur-
passed for completeness in all its appoint
ments. Every comfort and convenience Of
first class fashionable watering place can
oe had at the Grand Hotel. Pa fittings and
arrangements are superb and wholly new.
Its facilities for billiards, ten-pins, boating,
shooting, fishing, driving, etc., az COM
plete and under experienced management,
30 that the man of the world need fear no
deprivation Of accustomed pleasures; while
superior band will be ever ready at the
call Of Terpsichore's devotees.
That the capacities of Captain Baldwin's
magnificent establishment will be thor
oughly tested BY the elite Of Mobile and
Montgomery society seems already assured,
and We can safely promise full repre-
sentation from the Crescent City during
the glorious Southern Summer evenings
now 20 near at hand. Point Clear was
ever popular with our people, and, many
pleasant "reminiscences linger with them
and recall by-gone men and times. Under
the new regime, with such reasonable
charges as are asked, the old popularity
can not but be increased. The rate for
board is to be only $50 per month, or s. 80
per day. Passengers leaving New Orleans
on tho morning train arrive at Point Clear
to dinner. The beautiful and fleet steamer
Annie makes daily trips from Mobile to the
point. AL letters for further information
should be addressed to II. C. Baldwin &
Co., prophetors, Point Clear, and promptly,
too, for the formal opening will take place
| by the first of June.

Mrs. Southworth, in the preface to ''Ish-
mael," says: "This story, in book form,
has been called for by thousands during
several years past. but the author has re-
served it until 1876, as her contribution to
the centennial; not only because she con-
sidered it to be her very best work, but be-
cause it is peculiarly . national novel,
being founded on the life and career of one
of the noblest of our countrymen, who
really lived. suffered, toiled and triumphed
in this land; one whose inspirations of wis
dom and goodness were drawn from the
examples of the heroic warriors and states
men of the revolution, and who having, by
his own energy, risen from che deepest
obscurity to tho highest fame, became in
himself an illustration of the elevating in
fluences of our republican institutions. In
the Depths he was born indeed-in the
very depths Of poverty, misery and huDil-
iation. But through Heavens blessing on
his aspirations and endesvors, he raised
himself to the summit of fame. He was
good as we'll as great. His goodness won
the love of all who knew him intimately.
His greatness gained the homage OF the
world. He became, in q word, one of the
brightest stars in Columbia's diadem of
light. His identity will be recognized by
those who were familiar with his early per-
sonal history; but for obvious reasons his
real name must be yelled under fictitious
one here. His life is guiding star to the
youth of every land, to show them that
there is no depth of human misery from
which they may not, by virtue, energy and
perseverance, rise to earthly honors as well
