November. We have a ticket in the

PREsENTINIENr or DEATH.
A Curious and Interesting Tncident in the
Family History OF tho Bayards.


The subject of presentiment concern
ing death and fatality in families
spoken of in Hancock's case recalls
some sad points in the Bayard history.
Few families have been more depleted
by sudden death than the Bavards,
and in many instances there have been
torewarnings and prcsentiments. 1t is
said that Miss Bayard wrote letter
indicating her approaching death.
There are now in Washington many
olu naVai officers who remember the
interesting circumstance attending the
death Of Miss Bayard's cousin, Charles
u. Bayard. at Mount Vesuvius. He
was the tavorite SON of Richard BAY
| ard, OF Philadelphia, whose father and
Secretary Bayard's father were broth.
ers. In 1843, while on board the
| United States ship Congress, in COM
pany with several young friends, he
made the ascent of Mount Vesuvius.
1t was the same Congress that went
down in Hampton Roads before the
Merrimac, and in the party was the
same Joseph Smith, who as command
or OF the Congress had his head taken
OIL by cannon ball and Of whom his
t1thcr said, when he heard that the
Congress was taken: "Thcn Joe is
dead" In the party also was Lehman
B. Ashmead, of Philadelphia, with
whom yound Bayard afterwards went
to Jerusalem to visit the Holy Sepul-
chrc. While there they both had tat
tooed on their arms by an old drago-
man tho hcraldic arms of Jerusalem,
with the date Of their visit. .In the
case of young BayarN the tattooed
cross developed virulcnt features, fes-
tered and finally he became sick and
the arm became greatly swollen. lie
continually declared that he would die,
and even after it appeared to grow en-
tircly well he was in the ha lit of say
ing TO Mr.. Ashmead and other friends ::
"Tbis arm will be the death of me
yet" Ten years afterwards young
Bayard left for cruise in the Column
J 6la rs flag lieutenant Of Commander
Morris. Before leaving he took sad
farewell of all his friends here and
and declared to one and all that "they
would never sec him again" lie was
very rejected and respondent. Ten
years to day from his previous visit,
of MARYLAND, and few friends, the
Columbia being then at Naples, he
made the ascent Of Vesuvius during
an eruption. With him were Rear
Admiral Simpson and Rear Admiral
Calhoun, who were then lieutcnants.
He had the arm of Prussian army
officer He was quite gay. Just near
the Hermitage, whore he had halted
ten, years before, the party stopped,
finding it would be dangerous to go
nearer the crater. AS they were turn
ing mass Of lava and rock struck
young Bayard on the arm where he
had been tattoocd, cutting it fearfully
and oblitcrating the cross, and before
the party could reach the foot of the
volcano he died. His mother is still
living, upwards of ninety years of age.
His body is buried near the foot of
Vesuvius.

Thirteen Negroes Shot Down in Il NIissis-

sippi Courthouse.
A special to the New Orleans Picov-
une, dated March II says: News of q
terrible tragedy enacted at Carrollton,
an interior town twenty four miles
southwest Of Grenada, was received
there this evening. Fifty men rode
into town and repaired TO the Court
house, where thirteen negroes were
awaiting their trial. The whitcgmcn
walked into the Courthouse and shot
ten negroes dead and and morally
wounded the other three. The shooting
grew out Of the attempted assassina-
ton of James Liddell, q prominent
citizen, who Was shot and seriously
wounded by these negroes several
weeks ago.
PARTICULARS OF THE SLAUGHTER.
New ORLEANS, March 18.-A special
from Winona, Mississippi, to the
ItneS- Democrat gives the particulars
or the circumstances leading TO the
tragedy at Carrollton, Mississippi, YES
terday aud OF the tragedy itself.
Ihc trouble began some months ago
in slight alteration between a white
man named Moore and colored man
named Brown. j. NJ. Liddcll, a friend
OF Moorc's, afterwards got into a diff
ficultY with Brown through reference
TO browns treatment of Moore in
whicr Liddell struck Brown with his
list, and was shot in the elbow by
Brown, and was fired at by several
other colOrcd men. In the further
course of this difficulty Liddcll was
shot second time and two colorcd
men were shot slightly. Following
tins the negroes made affilavits against
Llddell and others, charging them
with assault with intent to murder.
Ihesc cases came up yesterday for
trlaI, and were called at noon, when
the Courthouse was immediately filed
with negroes who stationed themselves
al ound and about the Brown brothers,
The attorneys were proceeding with
the case, when there suddenly
appeared about one hundred white
men all well armed. Perceivino
their entrance, Edward Brown
drew his pistol and fired in the dircc-
ton of Liddell, who was betw cen his
attorneys. Thorcupon the firing be-
came general. Ten negroes were in
stantly killed and two others have since
died. Many escaped by jumping
through widows distance of at least
twenty feet fem the ground. On
most of the dead bodies arms we're
found. The room was completely fill

Ferdinand Ward, against Wm. S.
Warner, has fled his report with the
clerk Of the Supreme Court in New

Ward, and finds that the payment of
all money made by Mr. Ward, either
by his individual check or bv the

lent and void as against the defendant,
Julian Il. Davies, as receiver, and thai
Warner must pay over to Davies, as

paid by him TO Ward. This sum the

with interest thereon from Nav g.
