Death of an old citizen. --We are pained to learn that Otis Manson, Esq., formerly for forty years a well known resident of Richmond, died on the 9th of April last, at the residence of his son, Dr. O. F. Manson, in Granville county, N. C., at the ripe age of seventy- two years. His remains were brought to this place for interment. Several years since Capt. Manson removed to North Carolina, where his last hours were spent. No man, perhaps, in his sphere, was more useful to the community in which he lived. In the war of 1812, he promptly volunteered in Capt. Richardson's corps d'clite for the defence of Richmond, and for a great many years was a useful member of the City Council. For many years he was the only architect in Virginia, and the principal edifices in the city and country were either wholly or partially planned by him. When living here, he was to the mechanic a guide and a friend, and was universally beloved by them. As a parent, he was noble, generous, and unselfis

ederates. Messrs. Lawrence & Son's yard is the highest up the Mersey. A large screw steamer is building there "for the Emperor of China." Messrs. Fraser, Trenholm & Co., of Liverpool, the "depositaries," as they are styled, of the Confederate Government, have contracted for a large vessel of 3,000 tons, which is to be built at Stockton. Messrs. Thompson Brothers are building on the Clyde a powerful iron-clad steam ram "for the Emperor of China," to be ready for sea on the 9th of April next. She is about 250 feet long, by 45 beams, and 35 in depth.--Her armor plates are from 4½ to 5 inches thick. Her engines will be of 500 horse power each. Mr. Peter Denny, of Dumbarton, has constructed two fine screw steamers. They are lying in the Clyde. Report of a somewhat authentic kind says one of them is partly owned by "the Chinese," and partly by individuals at Nassau, New Providence. It is publicly announced that she is soon to be employed between Nassau and Charles

From the West and North. Dalton, April 13. --Dates from Nashville to the 10th inst, state that considerable excitement existed there in consequence of the pickets having been driven in at Germantown. It was believed to be a feint on the part of Forrest to enable him to get South with his train containing plunder taken at Paducah. Washington, April 9.--Colfax offered a resolution in the House, to-day, proposing the expulsion of Long, of Ohio, for sentiments uttered yesterday favoring the recognition of the Southern Confederacy. St. Louis, April 8.--It is reported that several naval officers were captured by the Confederates on Red River, whilst confiscating cotton.

t there is not an enemy that could escape her. Captain Maffit, her commander, is a young man of good stature, speaking French fluently, and enjoying a high reputation in America. The remainder of the officers are relatives of the best families in the country. The crew is composed of one hundred and twenty determined men, though by no means of ferocious appearance. The discipline on board is very severe. A few days since, white the officers were on shore, some inhabitants of Bordeans, having visited the vessel, distributed among the men some bottles of brandy, and the majority of them became the worse for liquor--Capt Maffit, on returning, had sixty of them put in irons. We do not think we have any right to the object which is generally assigned to the presence of the Georgia at Bordeaux, but her departure will be, perhaps, less tranquil than her arrival, as a Federal vessel is said to be cruising night and day off the mouth of the Gironde.--Bordeaux (France) Gironde, April 9.

The capture of Duppel. [From the London Times, April 9th.] After a gallant defence of two months, Duppel was taken yesterday morning by assault, and the Danish army has lost its last hold on the mainland of Schleswig. For some days the event has been expected. Towards the close of last month it became evident that the Prussians had thrown off the Lugar which marked the entry conduct of the siege, and were resolved to press it with vigor, and to force, if possible, a surrender. It need hardly be said that the prospect of the coming conference had much to do with this sudden display of energy. Day by day they brought their the bearer the Danish batteries. At the beginning of last week it became evident that the Dance, unless largely reinforced, could not long hold the place. Unless such an army could have been placed in Schleswig as would have compelled the enemy to raise the siege, the fate of Duppel was scaled. At last the assault was made yesterday morning. We do
