Numbers of citizens are thus treated without any apparent reason. When our informants left, some dozen citizens of the town and thirty odd citizens of the county were confined. Among the prominent citizens who have thus suffered, we remember the names of Ex-Gov Clay, Ex-Gov. Reuben Chapman, D. Thomas Fearn, Geo P. Beirne, and Rev. J. G. Wilson--though nearly every man of any prominence has, at some time or other, experienced this petty despotism. Ex-Gov.

He arose from the corpse brandishing the bloody knife in one hand and repeater in another. He hurriedly left the boat and running at full speed up the levies, jumped into a back, whose driver he compelled by threats to drive him to the suburbs. He escaped the law, and I was supposed would never be heard of again. But revenge it often more care than courts Costillo had a friend Tarkington, who, It was and, designed revenging the murdered man's death. But it may, the murdered man's friend and the murder met last Wednesday, in the arrests of Lolle Rock, and a bullet from Turkington's piano caught a lodging place in Tate's heart, producing almost instant death.

Two large ships and three gunboats were now engaging us, at a distance of about three hundred yards. We backed off the bank with the intention of dropping down near the forts, when the Manassas came to our relief. She steered for the enemy's vessels, and as soon as they discovered her, they started up the river. Just as we were backing off the bank, Lieutenant commanding T. B. Huger fell severely wounded. I now directed the course of the vessel across and up he river, firing the starboard guns as rapidly as possible, and, I think, with much accuracy. We soon reached a position which furnished a view of the river around the first tend above the forts where I discovered eleven of the enemy, and not deeming it prudent to engage a force so vastly superior to my own, I determined to retire under the guns of the forts.

Sir: In the absence of the Commanding officer, it becomes my duty to inform you of the the Gen. steamer McRae stook in the recent at Forts Jackson, and St. Philip. The McRae was at another in the stream, near the shore, and about three hundred yards above Fort St. Philip. At 3 A. M., of the 26th April, a large steamer was discovered between the Forts, coming up. The ship being already cleared for action, the cable was slipped and we maintained our position in the steam until our portages more upon the advancing vessels of the enemy, when we opened fire. At the tenth round our pivot gun exploded, wounding one man slightly. At 3 50 we stood over to the opposite side of the river and engaged one of the enemy's gunboats; but, owing to his greater speed, he soon passed ahead of us. Our h
