The passengers heing nearly all a??< mbled oti the deck, greet ed the cool'iasi of the^ouiigragamuIBi^ w ill a about of laughter, in whic't the captain after vainly endeavoring to look sovere, was fain to join. Blatcd by tlt-s succ-.^a, the stowaways farther ingratiat cd themselves into the good will of the j passengers by turning cartwheels ex prossivo of their delight, but were J promptly brought to their feet again by a couple of smart but not angry cufis from the engineer. The eaptsin now inquired where the boy* bad bean found, nod was told in the coal bunker?, whjclt their a; pearnnre sufficiently corroborated. Upon being asked alien they came on It nrd, the eldest b'>y replied; 'Please sir, tttc and Mi. key (Mit-bey's a New Votker and J I'm an Eiig'.hJr.tinn), came to the ilitp last night and uxed the stew-nd to lot.j us work our passages ncrojw, and he j wouldn't so we hid oursei vox away among I lie Coals all lligltt,, and wouldn't have conn- on deck so soon ouly the fir-mau.

Uuder this alii tcrative cnption, a late issue of the Njw York Herald has the' followiug graphic description of the scene in the gold room of the New York Exchange ou tho 31st ult : Gold made tunny men sick yesterday ; it has been making the business inter ests of the country aiek since the middle of January. The "bulls" bare succeed ed in raising the price of the precious metal in two months over seven per cent., and yesterday they climbed up uuothcr round in the ladder. A visit to the Gold Room recalled many of those exciting scenes familiar to tho seeker of fortunes in a lump This royal road to ruin was crow ded with the gold cormorants, and the dis mal vestibule, strewn with paper frag ments, foul with fetid air, and a shriek v pen of th* superlative rank, contained the chieftains of the Wall street Vox. It was a field day. All the scenery of a great gold "spree" was perfect at 2 p. ax, Aruuod the circular railing inclosing the little bronze fountain whose pellucid jets of water have so long fallen into uiud>ly spray after gathering the dust of tho atmosphere, was a crowd of aellera and buyers ; they were of all types?'ypes of the hoarse voiced, broad shouldered, mustache {vris'p.l being, whrse business is gold.

' The Bloody Outbreak in Louisiana The Buliimors Gazette contains the following brief but clear account of the bloody affray that occurred iu Louisia na on Sunday. By some arrangement thut wc d.? not understand, we hare no exchanges from New Orleans of a later date than the 14th. Our Baltimore eotetnpororios are, it ' seems, moro for tuuate. The Gazette says : A serious riot has broken out iu Graut Bariah, Louisiana, ou the upper waters of the Red River. The iustiga tors of the riot, according to the stuto moot published iu the New Orleans Pirayune, wcie two uvgroes, both incur h\. rs of iVeWogg'a Legislature, who, with a baud of aegroor, took forcible possess ion of Culfax. (he coui ty seat of Gra it Parish, ousted the authorities, drove all j the ubito men from the place, and broke into "ml pluudcrod their houses. Those colored men v ho did not sympathize w.ih the marauder* mere also driven-oil. The house of Mr. Had?ot was eutered i by (he rnff.ans, and tho coffin, contain I ing a dead child, was taken rrvuy aud broken open, uuder the impression th t I money was secreted in it The b dy of the rdii'd was l< ft rxro ad on tin road I i.util it was replaced by other partie and leturiied to the bou*e. In the meantime it appears tint Mr. I'ndunt niudo his escape, und Collectiug a haul ; of twenty five men notified tlu negroes ' to send a?;n their women and children I as he intended to attack them Tho I latter miivi brought to New Orleans by the steamer Southxrtstcrn furnishes the j bloody sequel. 1 he negroes, to the . numb r of some four hundred, the r { nughly armed, eutreocbed themselves in the court hou?e and liuilt breastworks ! Ou Sunday fladuot's forjo had been in J creased to a hundred and fifty men j drawn from the surrounding parishes , The breastworks were stormed and i taken after two hours' fighting, and the negroes then took refuge in the court* j house, barricading the doors. Fight ' ine was then rewound, hut at a later hour the- uegr<cs threw out a fl^ ol \ truce, but fired on the besieges as they ! anvi.nced, wounding several, and among I them Mr. II.-idnot moitally. Finding [ it impossible to di dodge the negroes by force of arm?, the court-house was set on fire, and as they eaino out from thu burning building they wore shot down by lhe infuriated whites. It is estiutn ud that one hundred negroes were killed. 'J he others, taking to flight, were holly pursued. Such is the ac count which we publish of this sanguin ary affair. It is the first fruits of the ohf-tinntc policy of Genera! Giant, in recognizing a .State government which the Senators who most steadfastly sup port him, have declared to be illegally Constituted. From a telegraphic dispatch which wo find in our Northern exehauges, dated New Orleans, lftth April, we gel iho statement of the Captain uf die steamboat bouthiceHern, who arrived in New Orleans 00 that d.ty : We arrivod at Col fax Sunday evening ing ubout f o'clock. Found that the white paopld and shoriff, I suppose at their head, bad cipturcd the town after haying a conflict with tho negroes. It was reported to mc that about lot) ne groes had baen killed and many oihera Wiuuded We saw from the boat b ft ecu nr twenty lying arjiind on the bank dead. One white man was reported killed, whoso nntne'I did not learn, and two very seriously wounded, Messrs Hadnot and Harris Mr lladuot was shot through tho bowels and supposed to l>? Uioltally wouudol. Wo brought Harris nnd Hadnot down from Colfaa to Alexandria. Three or four other white men wert slightly wounded* About 100 negroes escaped, bat it was reported that the whites were still pur suing. All of the leaders of the riot escaped, especially the white men. The negroes having ambuscaded theruselvos iu *'ho court-house, and the whites, boding there was no other mode of nttack left them, set fire to the building. The whites numbered in the ticighborho>d of 150 men. The fight lasted from 12 o'clock until nearly 5 P. M. The whites are now in possession of Culfax, and when I left, last .Sunday night, everything was very quiet. Murk T?Tn!n on the Car-Hook Mur derer and the Pardoning Power Murk Twain has the following rich sa'ire on the Footer Murder ease. It is absolutely clothed in purple aud reive' of humor. I have read the Poster petitions. Tilt lawyers, opinion do not disturb me be cause I know that those same gentlemen could make ss able an argument if favor of Jndus Iscarijt without losing my temper, To my mind Judus Iscariot was milling but a low, mesa premature Congressman. The attitude of the jury docs not unsettle a body, I must admit; and it seems piain that they would have mod.tied their verdict to murder in the aecond degree if the J udgo's charje had j permitted it. I Hut when I come to the petitions of Fester's friends, and fiud out Foster's true character the generous tears will flow?I ear nut help it. How easy it ia to get a wrong impression of a mm? 1 perecive that frort childhood up, he lie* beeu a swuet, docile thing, full of pretty ..ays and gentle impulse-; the charm of the fireside; the ad oiraJ'on of ^spoiety; the idol of the buuday school. I recog nize in him the divinest nature that has ever glorified any mere human being 1 prtccive that the Sentiment with whb h ' he regarded temperance was a thing which amounted to the fraulic adora I tinti. j I freelj confess '.hat it w*s tha mos* j n.tttrral thing i.< the Wutld for su:h an i organization as this to get drunk and ? instill a stranger* and then beat his brains j out with a c.ir-hook beeuu-te he didu't j ?< din ire it. Such is Foster. And to I ihiuk we came so near losing him! How j do we know that he is the sdvent! And ' yet, after all, if the jury had not beeu j hampered in their choice of a verdict I think 1 ccnld eonaout to lose hitu? The humorists who invented the trial i ?J iUT7 played a eolosaal practical joke I upon the wor'd, but since we have the system we ought to try to respect it?a : thing whieh is not throughly easy to do ! when we refleot that by corn man 1 of the 1 law the criminal juror must be an in tellectual vacuum attached to a ni.dting heart and perfect imaeciroiiian bowels of I eampassion. j I have had no experience in making i laws or amending them bnt still I cannot . understand why, when it takes twelve men to inflict the death penalty npon a person, it should take any lens than twelve more to undo their work. If I were a legislature and had just been elected, and had not time to sell out, 1 would put the pardoning and commut iug power into the hands of twelve able men instead of dumping no large a burden upon the shoulders of one poor petition persocuted individual! Mark Twain. Hartford and the Charter Oak. 0 Iloston is celebrated for it*, monu ment to the lamented Mr. Hunker Hill, Pmvidenco for Hoger Williams, Philadelphia f"i its butter and Quakers, and Hartford for its Cha-ter Oak. Mark Twain has visited Hartterd. He saw the oak. Likewise heard it spoken of. He says : I wont over Hartford with a citizen whose ancestors came over with the pilgrims in the Quaker City- in the .Mayflower. I stiould say?and ho showed me all the historic relic* of Hartfotd.

Wn went duwu to Wndsworth'e Alhe&seusa, and I wanted to look the picturaf^,., but be conveyed mo silently to a corner, and pointed to a log rudely shaped somewhat like a chair, and whispered* "charter oak."
