On the arrival of the American ship
Orient from Liverpool, Capl. George ID.
Alien, which landed at Post 32 Tuesday
morning, it was ascertained that terri
bic accident had occurred on board by
which two men lost their lives and two
were seriously injured.
The captain states that 5 o'clock Sat
urd " evening. September Goth, outside
of South Pas, while the ships crew were
engaged making ready for the lowering
of the anchor, and while steam tug was
ahead, making ready to tow the Orient
into the river, chock through which
the haw,er passed and which was attached
10 the tug, gave way, owing to the heavy
strain on it. George Mason, first mate !;
John Mlson, third mate; Edward Hau-
sen, sailor, and VIM. Hal, stowaway,w were
struck and injured.
As soon as the lowering of the anchor
was accomplished, the tug was ordered TO
Eadsport for physician.
DR.. Stockley boarded the tug, but N
its arrival by the side of the Orient, was
unable to board her, owing to the high
sea and strong wind.
The captain seeing that the do"tor
would be unable to get aboard Of the ship
started Immediately to work to examine
the patients and relieve their suiterings
the b,st way he could.
He found that both the seamen and
stowaway were badly injured, they botl
having a leg broken, besides severa
other wounds, while the two mates were
seriously though not dangerously in
jured.
The sailor Hausen suffered from his in
juries Just two hours, expiring at
o'clock.
The stowaway, who had left his hom'
in old England with the intention o
seeking his fortune in this country, sool
followed his mess-mate, expiring tha
night at II o'clock.
| Both Of these men, so it is stated, ap
pear to have bled to death.
On Monday DR.. Stockley went q
board of the Orient and dressed tn
wounds of the first and third mates, VIII
had been more fortunate than thei
brother sailors by su viving their injuries
Capt. Allen retained the bodies Of tn
dead men with the hope Of having thel
inferred on shore, but on. Tuesday morr
ing, as he had not crossed the bar an
decomposition had set in he was force
to bury them at sea. On the arrival {
the ship at her wharf, at this port, I'll
, wounded mates, John and George Masol
were sent to the Hotel Dieu.

necessity. Here was danger enough,
surely; and determined to be the first at
the fatal battery, he kept as near to the
leader as he dared. Half the distance
had been gained when from the hill came
storm Of iron that plowed into the
ranks of the French.
The Colonel fell, his body literally
torn to pieces by shell that exploded
against his bosom. SSH .. s,..
The point upon the Peninsula now
reached by the head of the assailing
column was not more than hundred
yards wide, and it was literally patch
of death, as the fire of twelve heavy
guns was turned upon it. The Colonel
bad fallen, and very soon three other Off
GERS went down, leaving the advance
without a commissioned leader. The
way was becoming blockaded with
the dead horses; and the head
of the column stopped and wavered:.
Marshal Lefebvre, from his elevated
place, saw this, and his heart throbbed
painfully. If that column was routed,
and the Prussian infantry charged over
the Peninsula, the result might be calam-
itous.
But, seei A man in the uniform of a
French private, mounted upon a power
full horse caparisoned in The trappings OF
Prussian staff officer, with his head bare,
and a bright saber swinging in his hand,
rllshes to the front, and urges the column
forward. His words are fiery, his looks
are dauntless. .,
''For France and for Lefebvrep the
strange horseman cries, waving his sword
aloft, and pointing toward the battery
"fhe Marshal will weep if we lose this
day." .....
The brave troopers, thus led by one who
feared not to dash forward where the shot
fell thckest, gave an answering shout
and rushed on, caring little for the rain
of death so long as they had a living lead
err to follow. Hoping that he might take
the battery, and yet courting death, Je.
rome Dubois spurred on; finally the
troops came upon the battery with ire
sistibe force.
1t was not in the power Of the cannon
iers to withstand the shock, and the Rus
sian infantry that came to their support
were swept away like chaff. The battery
was quickly captured, and when the guns
were ,urned upon those who had shortly
before been their masters, the fortune o.
the day was decided. The Russians anC
the Prus,ians-horse, foot and dragons
such as were not taken prisoners, had los
!, much more thai they had gained.
Jerome Dubois returned to the guard
house and gave himself up to the Officer
in charge. First Il surgeon was cale(

how he would flank the army Of young
men who had tried to cut him out.
He procured the legal right to wed
Mis- Jennie, and its possession gave him
50 much happiness that he determined to
prolong the joy as much as possible by
waiting until the next day before present
ing himself at the house and claiming his
bride. A feeling of ownership went
with the certificate, and he felt very much
as though he was carrying his wife around
in his pocket. So he concluded to wait
until the next afternoon before showing
his hand. But the young man made one
great mistake, he forgot that the Times
was published every morning, and that
in each issue it faithfully recorded the
names of those whom Cupid Klokke had
smiled on the previous day. The young
lady's family took the Times, and she
being an intelligent maiden, of course
/ read it.
The marriage notices were always in

the Times. 1t was little sudden ant

A Short Lesson i'm Money.
Cincinnati Gazette.


To print greenbacks to pay the bond
holder seems clear gain to the amount of
the bonds. IT. has the attraction of MAX
ing something out of nothing. and the
still more attractive flavor of cheating
the creditor. To take so cents worth of
silver and stamp for a dollar and make
the public creditor take it, looks like
making 20 cents on the 81 out of him.
This seems fine transaction to our in
stinctive Statesman. We have seen a
barrel of editorials ground over and over
on this. But is this clear shave ?
Where does this money go? The bond
holder does not eat it. He pays it out
and it goes into circulation among the
people. They have to receive the so
cents in silver as 81. And the public
treasury has to take it right back in place
of 81 of gold. Who is cheated? Not
the bondholder. The people are cheat
cd. And when these paper or silver dol
lars by issue shall depreciate, as they are
bound to, the shave by the depreciation
will come out of the people. Money men
need not care very much what kind of
money is issued; for they always make
by its shifting value; but the workman
has to stand all the shaving of uncertain
and shifting money. An honest dollar
is the workman's friend.

1t is fortunate for the country that
the despotism of rifie-clubs and mob-law
is now brought to the serious considera-
tiOn of Greenback and Independent
voters. The recent outrages in Missis-
sippi were not perpetrated for the sup
preston or Radicalism or Republican
ism of any type. Mr.. Dixon, the candi-
date who was forced to retire in YaZoo
County, was Democrat, and formerly
Confederate soldier, and had been more
active than any other man of that coun-
ty in suppressing Republicanism. His
crime was independence. His. friends,
who embrace many Of the most intelli-
gent and worthy citizens of the county,

employed not long ago to crush out Re

clares that "the Inauguration of the

great prominence and character that
good faith could not be doubted, Ev-
arts, SOuthmayd & ChOate A member
of the firm laid the correspondence of
ROmaine before her, and though she as
serted her absolute confidence in the as
surances of Judge Hilton that the body
had been recovered and was at the ca
thedral, the lady read them over and re-
quired an explanation of Judge Hilton.
He satisfied her that the letters were I'M
worry of consideration, and she return
ed them to the lawyef as such, and i'm
mediate negotiations were broken off.
1t seems that all this time Mrs. Stew
art has been led by Judge Hilton to be-
lieve that the body had been recovered,
and it now became necessary to unde-
ceive her. Hilton expressed willing
ness to pay S25,OO0, the original reward.
but would not pay more without secu-
ring the thieves. All hopes that the re-
fusal to negotiate for the return of the
body on the terms named, other than the
payment of the reward Of S25, 900, which
offer Jones transmitted by mail to Ro-
maine, in Montreal, would lead the
thieves in desperation to reveal them
selves, were finally abandoned by Judge
Hilton about three weeks ago, and he
has since then reopened negotiations, this
time it is believed with the purpose of
buying the body outright, and without
any attempt to secure the thieves.
1t is clear that all efforts heretofore
have been baffled. There is no question
that Romaine is the selected agent of
the robbers, and has the body in chage.
He has carefully concealed his identity,
and his handwriting is 80 disguised as
to battle any attempts to detect him by
that means.
The new and pending negotiations
were opened by Judge Hilton himself,
who, on July "a, caused to be inserted
in the Herald the following personal:
"CANADA-Counsel desires to commu-
nicate"
1t is not signed. Mr.. Jones has as yet
received no response to it. Meantime
the body remains in its concealment,
known only to the robbers, and is said
to be in state of careful preservation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13-Another phase
of the negotiations for Stewards body
is published, making an extraordinary
story. On Monday in January last a
lawyer in this city received by mail a
letter signed "Romaine," inclosing 800
as retainer, and asking him if he would
consent to act as an attorney for the
negotiation of return of Stewards bo-
dy. On payment of $25O,OOO. On the same
day came a package by express, to which
the letter referred, and which, on be-
ing opened, was found to contain the
silver knobs and part Of handle be-
longing to A. T. Stewards coffin. The
lawyer was requested to answer by a
personal whether or not he would ac-
cept the retainer. He did so, and in a
few days received a further retainer Of
$3.50, and second parcel, containing a
cOffin-plate, several other silver handles,
and still more knobs. The parcels and
knobs came from Canada. Assurances
were also given that the body was in
perfect state of preservation. The law
yer took the letters and articles forward
ed as proof of possession of the body to
Superintendent Walling. Subsequently
Judge Hilton was informed, and the
terms of robbers were mentioned to him
as being $25O,OOO. The lawyer, who was
Patrick II. Jones, asserted that he did
not know the thieves, nor did he know
where the body was; that he supposed
they applied to him because possibly,
when he was Register or Postmaster,
they had served under him. Judge
Hilton declared that the proposition was
preposterous, that he would not pay
cent for the body without securing the
robbers, and finally dismissed the law
yer, with insulting declarations that he
would have nothing to do with such ne
gotiatiOns.
Negotiations were continued in hope
that the detectives would get some clue,
but nothing came of it.
Subsequently negotiations were OPEN
ed directly with Mrs. Stewart, through
a firm of Wall street lawyers of such
