Chalmers at Fort Pillow.

General Chalmers, of Mississippi,
should not he forgotten by the Ameri-
can people, at least the loyal portion,
for the part he took in the rebellion.
With the infamous butcher, Forrest,
he was one of the rebel efficers who
participated in, and directed, the hor-
rible massacre at Fort Pillow, Tennes-
see, April u, 1864. In that awful
slaughter, out of some four hundred
Union soldiers who occupied the fort,
over three hundred were murdered af-
ter the works were stormed and they
had thrown down their arms. No mer-
cy was shown and the Congressional
Committee appointed to Investigate
the affair reported. among other
atrocities perpetrattd tina mere
caild of eight years-a colored
boy-vho had been taken NJ
behind a mounted rebel officer, was
ordered by General Chalmers to be pn
,lo1cn and shot, and the order was obey
ed. Chalmers did not recognize the
colored troops as soldiers, and doomed
them to the bullet and bayonet in al
instances. OF the two hundred freed
men in the for. but handful escaped
all the remainder being butchered
and in many cases thrown into the fire
where they were afterward found par
TALLY consumed. This, in brief, is thu
history Of Gen. Oh almers,' one ofth'
leaders of the "stalwart" Democracy o
the South, who now rule the Democrat
ic.party and aspire to rule the who'll

The country was given the spectacle
on Tuesday of seeing these two able
Senators occupying relatively queer po-
litical positions. Bayard took the Re-
publican view on the question and ar
gued that he was legally entitled to his
seat in speech delivered on Monday
Yesterday Matt Carpenter deliberately
walked over to the Democratic side of
the Senate and taxing position nearly
opposite to Conkling, proceeded to ar
que against the admission of Bell. TO
say that all were surprised at his &C
ton would but fecb'y express it. In
closing he used these words: "My dis
tinguished friend from Delaware (Bay-
ard) says that the Union and Consti-
tuition will be conserved by the alnis-
sion of Mr.. Bell, while contend that
constitutional law and equity demand
that he be excluded" And calmly
picking up his papers and documents
he deliberately walked over to his own
seat on the Republican side.
This New Hampshire case has caused
wide diversity ofopinion among Dem
ocrats and Republicans. Carpenter and
Bayard disclaimed partisanship i'll the
debate, and both argued from Con-
stitutional standpoint. In conversa

uncomprsing Democrat, but admittedly

On Tuesday, April l, Frederick Eek
ert OF Lauravills, Baltimore county
Md, a farmer in good circumstances
but who has been for some time Of un-
sound mind, disinterred the remains O
his wife who had been buried for two
years, and brought the CONN contain
ing the corpse to bis house, under the
belief that he could raise the dead by
prayer. 1t remained in the premises
for several days without anybody be-
ing aware fit, but Mr.. Eckert after
wards showed ii to lady in the neigh
borhOod. ..r
His religious monomapia was pro-
nouncsd, but was accompanied by nc
violence of behavior. He had recently
built new house near by, and called
it his chapel, and said his wife should
occupy it. MIR. Eckert would not al
low any one to remove the body, and at
last his sister and brother.in law asked
for a jury Of inquiry as to lunacy. A
large number of people residing in the
neig hLorhood testified as to the siugu-
lar acts Of Mr.. II. twas shown Mr..
Eck.rt started for Europe a short
while ago but was turned back in Hew
York en- account of unsoundness OF
mind. His property, including house
in Baltimore, was valued at eight or
nine thousand dollars.
Il was stated that when his wifo died
he had also about $4,000 in bank,
which he drew ont, and it is believed
he buried part Of IL. He was under
the impression that there should be
seven books Of Noses in the Bible in
stead OF fivs, and that lie should write
new Bible on that account. Other
instances Of mental alteration were
cited, and the jury found a verdict Of
lunacy and that he was not capable sf
taking care Of his property. Mr.. Eek
ert has been taken to lunatlc asy.
lum. He resisted capture by the ON
GERS, but had no weapons. He was in
q wood shed, locked up, and they were
obliged to force the door. He asked
his sister in German to break the hsads
of the officers of the law with an axe.
