By the special direction of The late M. M. Simp-
son and the earnest desire Of his estimab,e
widow, the remains Of the lamented gentlemsn
have been brought from New York to this city,
and will be this morning, at q. M, borne to the
Gem etery from the residence of his son, 217 Julia
street.
The numerous friends of Mr.. Simpson will ex-
perience sorrowful qualification in rendering the
last sad rites to one who had endeared himself to
them by so many attractive virtues and generous
deeds. He was in every relation gentleman in
the highest sense, patriot, jealous devotee to
his religion and race, and philantbropist whose
generosity and charity were restricted by no dis
tinctions OF religion or race. His heart was as
comprehensive as his intellect, which was of the
broadcast and most vigorous cast of character
His nature was warm, earnest and sincere; his
friendships and affections were firm and I'M
changeable, and his manner and bearing among
his fellow men was always that Of the refined, pol
ished and aniable gentleman.

What the Bullet Did.
Quite number of scientifically d sposed gen.
tlemen went out to the Crescent City Rife Park
last evening, to witness an ex hibtion to be made
by Capt. @. J. O'Hara with
HIS EXPLOSIVE BULLET,
mention of which has already been made in the
columns OF the DEMOCRAT. The experiments
made by the inventor reached most flattering re-
suits, and was source Of great surprise to those
who were on the ground.
A continuance made to represent field caisson
was charged with some powder and put upon q
pair OF tressels in the centre Of the field.
Capt. OHara himself, then distant about 100
yards, fred
ONE OF HIS BULLETS
into the caisson, and thereby blew up the con-
Germ with splendid effect.
The next thing on the carpet was the ignition
OF quantity OF shaviDgs by a second discharge
from the inventors musket.
After this post erected as mast, rugged with
q yard-arm and furled sail, was shot at and par
TALLY burned. But the canvas was easily made
to ignite in the fire discharged by the bullets ex-
ploslon.
It is claimed that shells
OF THE LARGEST cALIBRE
can be manufactured on the same plan and
charged with the same infallibly destructive sub
stance as is this little bullet.

Oapt. Aiken said that In the present condition

nae Capt. Aiken's words, IT'S just the same, sir,
AZ If an enemy's fleet was anchored At it's mouth |;

purposes Of trade"
Whilst we were conversing Capt. Aiken was In.
terrupted several times by merchants callink and
eagerly questioning him 80 to the probabilities OF
freight going through, even as far as Ooushatta.
To all he gave the same answer. As matters now
stand no freight was wanted for it would cost the
Transportation Company twice % much ss they
might receive, If not more. He said that the
company now did not care for pound OF freight,
for it would be Q burden to them.
"It's a pity this dam csved In when II did,
said the Captain, "for the company had COM
pleted it's arrangements for carrying the neavy
cotton crop from Texas and places this side, aud
now this closes the trade for some time. IL WIN

When questioned az to the effects OF the break,

Meridian Mercury: The Investigation
of the murder OF City Marshal Batchel-
lor, of Shubuta, before Justice Conner
and Mayor Champenois, occupied the
whole Of Friday and Saturday. At the
conclusion Of the examination, Peter
Burr, being on trial, was committed
without bail to await the action Of the
next term Of the circuit court, and a
mittimus was issued to Sheriff Lark
ford, then In attendance upon the ex-
aiming court, for that purpose. The
sheriff placed his prisoner In the city
prison for safe keeping until he could
convey him by rail to the county Jail at
Quitman. There were also eight wit
nesses to be conveyed to prison in de-
fault OF bail. The sheriff placed
a guard over the city prison, and
also over the witnesses. Shortly
before the arrival Of the North bound
passenger train, due at 3 p. M, the
guard to the depot, expecting two of the
other Of the guards retained at the
prison to carry the accused, Peter Burr,

unaware Of any danger, took the &C.

guard following close behind. AS they
stepped upon the sidewalk from the

It is pleasant now and then, in these days when
Pacific railway from our city is building. and
the jetties are gnawing at the rivers bottom, to
look back bit, or, to use the sporting phrase of
the jolly huntsmen, to shark back" and take 3
look st the things that were here in the quiet
purlieus Of our city, when those things that were,
in another form, still remain with US. As rule,
our good Orlean9is are not given to searching for
and making known the many old landmarks and
the traditions connected with them about our
city. The newer era Of trade, business and cent
per cent has driven much of the old poetical
spirit out of us; but as the memory Of the
smell Of our own orange-blossoms needs
but the veriest touch to call up q host
OF pleasant recolections, 80 underneath traffic
and barter there is still left tender chord that
breathes harmony when some of the old stories
Of the city's past are told. For instance, how
many are there who daily pass along Royal
street, between st. Louis and Cont. on the river
side, who, if they knew they were passing the

Mr.. Albert Baldwin, of the great hardware

city last evening on q visit to the North. Mr.
Baldwin is one Of our most enterprising and sa-

large influence in commercial and political Cir

vice in the contest last summer in the cause of
Democracy and Reform. and his vigorous resist
ance to the Kellogg and Packard usurpations will
always be remembered to his credit, and will
augment aud extend the repute which he had
achieved through the Southwest as popular and
liberal merchant, and an earnest defender of
Southern interests and righH.
