A special despatch from Fort Ass'na-

"a British officer, writing to friend
here says thpt Sitting Balls camp Of
Sioux Indians, composed of seventy, six
lodges, arrived at Wood Mountain
January 81, and is now In that neigh

" any foo / and are verypoor, many OF
them being almost naked. They still
have a good many ponies, which they
are selling from day to day for food the
Critish traders paying only few dol
lars per head for them. They had on,
ly about one hundred and fifty surplus
buffalo robes, all Of which have beer
disposed Of at low prices for food. ST

desire to surrender to the United States
authorities"

"Ths captains story was that he was
applied 70 by man in the city, who
proposed to pay him handsomely il he
would take the negroes on TO New
Jersey; that he did not know the man;
furthermore, he was totally unaware
that they were slaves, and, in q word;
entirely innocent OF any evil intent;
that he started of on Saturday after
noon, and ran aground inst below the
city; goa of the next morning, but ran
aground again about five miles further
down the river, from whence he started
bright and early yesterday morning,
and was steering rapidly for the Capes
when he was SO unoeremoniously over
hauled. A. considerable amount of
money was found on the vessel"
The vessel, under the law, was con-
fissated to the State, and was subss-
quently sold by Messrs. Branch & Sons
to Pannill & Carter for the sum of 1895.
Capt. William B. Baylis vas tried on
the 10th ofJuue In the Circuit Court
Of the city, Judge Nash presiding. A
great crowd was present. The court
appointed hessrs. David May and
William T. Joynes as counsel for the
prisoner, 1t was agreed by the counsel
that the prisoner should be trisd by
the same jury on the five indictments
found against him. The evidence WAS
the same as the facts above given.
The CASE was opened by R, @. Pegrsm,
So, the attorney for the Common
wealth, in q very forcible argument,
followed by Messrs. Joynes and May
for the prisoner, in an appeal whioh,
pero-iving the hopelessness Of the case,
was directed to the sympathy Of the
Jury, with view to Obtsin at least a
verdict In which mercy might be blen-
ded with Justice. The jury, after an
absence of half an hour, returned q
verdict, finding the prisoner guilty
aud fixing his punishment at eight
years imprisonment on each .ndiot
Matchmaking forty years in all, fol
the fve indictments.
The index says the Wilmington
papers were in error in stating thai
Mr.. Baylis was pardouei by the Gov
ernor of Virginia. He was released
from the psnitentiary BY the evacua
ton of Richmond aud the advent Of tht
Federal Army.

The following account of the Fannie
Tatum tragedy at Metropolis, is taken from
the Metropolis Democrat: Last Monday
night while the steamer Fannie Tatum was
lying at the factory Of Yost, Bigelow & Co.,
a colored roustabout named Tom Jennings
was shot through the heart and instantly
killed by deck,hand, supposed to be one
Albert King. The difficulty arose between
the second mate, j. X. Huet, and yellow
rouster named Tom Davis who had shipped
at Paducah off the Ariadne. The night
was dark and rainy, and Davis tried to per,
suade the crew not to work, Sinking and
hiding himself from the mate, who re.
proved him and struck down Gas the mate
testified) with piece Of skiif.oar, on the
load Of pillow handles Davis was carrying
aboard the boat, to hurry him up. About
this time the deck hand previously
mentioned, and said to be brother
to the mate Huet, came out and
kicked Davis, threatening to shoot
him. With this Davis laid down his load
and cinched the mate (HueD cutting him
with knife. The deck hand drew a PTS.
tol and began firing, one Of the shots
piercing the heart of Jennings, killing him
instantly. In the melee Davis let 90 Of the
mate and cut q deck hand King, it is
notknown how'd iously, as he (King) es-
capped to the Kentucky shore in the morn
ing and has not since been heard of The
rouster Tom Davis also escaped, supposing
as we imagine, that he had killed both OF
his antagonists, when in fact no one was
seriously hurt except poor Jennings,
wholly innocent man. Some of our citizens
have been very angry with the officers of the
boat about this unfortunate affair, but we
can not find from any evidence that the
matter was anything more than riot
among the crew which, the officers being
asleep, could not prevent. The killing of
Jennings was certainly without cause,
and the guilty man King, or whoever he
may be, ought to be made to suffer an ex-
IRENE penalty if he can be found. But in
our anxiety to avengc so foul a murder, we
ought to be careful not to cause the inno-
cent to suffer a second time for the sins
of the guilty"
