on the river near North End.

and on the following morning
the same feet appeared in the river
aud resumed dredging operations. The
gun was at once opened upon- them
and the first round was returned by
the vessels With rifles, but the second
ball struck one Of the vessels. and, in
the expressive language OF our inform
ant, the whole feet made a straight
shirt-tail for tho mouth Of the river"
their speed being accelerated by twen-
ty.two shots delivered with sstonish-
ing rapidity. We were told that some
OF the old artillerymen were so much
enthused that they IMAGINED they
were fighting their battles over again.
Tho gun used was a Whnworth Gun
which formerly belonged to the Rich
mond howitzers. and, tho ruDner
say, threw a ball about six miles. Vic.

The COI0red ArsOnist on the
WarPath.

Some days ago Newton johnson
was arrested by the police for setting
fire to a house on the corner Of Vance
and Wellington streets, occupied by a
colored woman named Sallie Taylor.
The facts all came out at trial this
morning, and point to a deliberate
scheme Of revenge on the part of the
dusky Johnsing. Hattie Thompson,
a good looking %octoroon, lived in the
house with johnson. but they did not
agree as well as angels are supposed
to, owing, perhaps, to the disparity Of
ages. Hattie is fair and sixteen, and
Newton black and f~fy-three.
About a week since Hattie left
Johnson's roof and went to stay with
Sallie Taylor. A few nights after
ward the latter heard a noise in Il e
rear Of her house, and upon investi-
CATION discovered a blaze breaking
from under the floor. A bucket Of
water quickly applied and the fire was
quenehed. The wall of the house
had been saturated with coal oil and
a piece Of a dress skirt,
which Hattie recognized as her
own had been used in starting the fire.
Running quickly to the gate the
women saw the tall form Of the dusky
johnson glimmering in the distance.
Officer C%hastaine's services were pro-
cured and the party found johnson
about an hour afterward, quietly at
home "sawin' wood and sayin' moth
ing" On the hearth lay the re-
mainder Of Hattie's dress SKIRT, satu-
rated with oil, and the floor about was
dlled with the same substance. John
son S saw was soon hung on a nail, and
he found his way TO tho inside Of a
cell at the station-house. The case
was not closed this morning, but will
remain open until to morrow for the
examination Of another witness,

The practice Of leaving the front
or back doors Of business houses open
Is one that careless clerks ought to
break themselves Of Rarely a night
passes but the police report finding
1ne or more houses open on their
beats. Robberies have been easily
and frequently committed from this
cause. The door Of 1874 Main was
found open last night by Officer
Doherty, who spent a half hour in
waking the proprietor, who sleeps
over the store.

Senator Bruce, Of Mississippi, has
written . letter to a gentleman in Ten,
nessee, wis had recommended him for
a cabinet position, in which be saws:
