GRANT TO WEAR JOHNSON'S CAST-OFF FEUERS LOUISIANA CONGRESSMEN NOT TO BE ADMIT? TED. WASHINGTON, November 26.-The impression increases that Grant will be subjected to all the restrictions which have cramped Johnson. The admission of the Louisiana Congressmen, chosen at the recent election, is highly improb? able. The opposition to their admission is strengthened by unofficial statements of Colo? nel Keeler that General Rousseau concurs with the Radical leaders in the opinion that the negroes could not safely vote. AU the departments are closed. Seward and Randall visited the President to-day. Thia morning's New York Tribune says : "GeneralRousseau's staff officer tells the As? sociated Press, and the Associated Press tells us, that General Rousseau has behaved ad? mirably in New Orleans. This authority may or may not be considered good for this particu? lar statement, but for another made in the same connection it. cannot be questioned. The staff officer informs us that the Louisima Re? publicans did not vote at the late election be? cause they believed that the rebels would make it unsafe for them to do so, and that General Rousseau concurred in their views." The Pollard Murder-Edward A. Pol? lard's Card. RICHMOND, VA., November 26.-Edward A. Pollard, brother of H. R. Pollard, who was killed on Tuesday, arrived here this afternoon. He publishes a card in the Evening State Jour? nal. . Alluding to the cheering of Grant by the crowd, the verdict of the coroner's jury, say? ing the death was caused by an unknown person, &c., be says : "Let these things stand to the shame of their perpetrators, and write their own commentary on the chivalry of Richmond. They shame not me, they shame not the dead; my heart is sufficient to hold him; no man can insult my tears; I como to claim but one thing-justice." After denounc? ing .he cowardice of the deed, the.card con? cludes : "Let justice be done, let all true peo? ple reconsider; I am far from defending the article which has been referred to in my brother's paper; I deeply regret it. The mur? derer never inquired for the real author; he never asked any word of explanation; he never applied to have the article corrected; he took no one single measure which the brave man, no matter how wronged, always takes before he comes to the 1 ?at resource, and he went where no one but the coward treads-on the path of the assassin."

They throw out the vote of twelve parishes for informality in the returns and make the result as follows : Grant 27,911. Seymour 41,353. Democratic Congressmen elected in aU except the Second District. The majority of Hunt, Democrat, in this district, was 10,000, for both unexpired and full terms, but by the rejection of the vote of so many parishes in that district they give the full term to Shelton, white Radical, and the unexpired term to Menard, negro Radical.

Particulars of the Murder-Thc Fatal Article-The Facts In the Case-Sketch of Pollard's Career. . The Richmond papers of Wednesday are filled with the details of the murder of Pollard, and of the excitement growing out of the tragic event. We copy tho main particulars from the Dispatch : At about ten o'clock yesterday morning H. Rives Pollard, the widely known editor of the Southern Opinion, a w?fKly newspaper pub? lished in Richmond, was., shot down in the street and almost instantly killed. Mr. Pollard resided about one milo from the city, on the Grove Road. YesterJay morning he and hie associate editor, Mr. J. Marshall Hanna, left the house in the country at a little alter nine o'clock. They were driven to tewn in a light vehicle, whictii conveyed them to the office of the Opinion, on tho corner of Fourteenth and Main streets. Turning from Main into Four? teenth street the vehicie stopped, and the two gentlemen alighted. Mr. Tollard walked leisurely toward tho Four teen th-3txeet en? trance to the office, while M>. Hanna remained behind to give some directions to the di iver. Mr. Pollard had takeu but a step or two, and Mr. Hanna had turned to join him, when a loud report was heard, and almost instan? taneously Mr. Pollard fell flat upon his face, uttering only a groan of pain. He seemed to be dead. Mr. Hanna, expecting another shot, and looking around to seo whence the first came, drew his pistol almost involuntarily. But the work of the unseen foe was completed. Several police officers and detectives who were standing not far off ran immediately to the spot, some to tho assistance of the wound? ed man, and others to apprehend his assailant. The first, with the aid of by-standers, turned over the body aud s'.w that the flame of life was still flickering. They fitted the body and made their way np stairs, but before half a dozen steps were taken there was a convulsive shudder, an expression of agony overspread the face, and H. Rives Pollard was dead. THE REMAINS T.AID OUT. Upon a mattress in the editorial room the dead bo ly was laid out. Hts fal] upon the pavement had inflicted a severe and ghastly wound upon the forehead, and at first it was thought that this was the wound that caused his death. In a moment, however, the coat and shirt were torn open, exposing un orifice in the right side of the neck, from which the warm blood was welling. One buckshot bad lodged here, six were found in the right shoul? der, one passed through the heart, and two were picked out of other parts of the body. The face wore the pallor of death itself, and was besprinkled with the du3t that it had kissed. The lips were open just enough to re? veal the clenched teeth, but the expression of pain had fled with tho spirit of the man. AN ARREST. Meantime in the street the excitement was intense. With swift wings the news bad been spread through the city, and every foot was turned toward the scene of the tragedy, until the crowd was several hundred in number. Surmising that the shot had been fired from an upper window of ins building opposite, the lower part of which is occupied by W. B. Isaacs & Co., Detectives Craddock and Knox were, in a few moments, up stairs. The latter knocked at the first door he came to, and beat upon it again and asaio, but tnerc was no response. Then he r^n tbroagh the passage to another door, but it was locked. But there was a voice from within: "Is that you, Bob?'' asked th? person within, in cleir, steady tones. "Yes." "All right, then," was the rejoinder; "but you'll have to break the door ripen. It is lock? ed, and 1 havn't the key." The panoli yielded to the sturdy blows from the detective's fists. With a crash they were broken, and through the hole thus made Mr. Craddock sprang into the room. There stood Mr. James Grant, ono pistol in hand, another on the table. He was a little pale but smiling, and he said loud enough to be heard without tho room, "I only ask for protection. . Here is my pistol; there is another on tho table." The weapons were taken by tho officers, aud Mr. Grant, without any show of resistance on his part, was arrested and car? ried to the lower rolice station, to answer for the killing of H. Rives Pollard. THE UOOM AND WHAT WAS FOUND THERE. The room is one occupied as a dormitory by Major Harry Clinton. It was almost as he had left it in the morning. On the table was a Der? ringer pistol; its fellow had been given up by Mr. Grant. But there was another weapon, which a detective's quick eye espied. It was a double-barrelled shot-gun,' placed in the cor? ner right by the window on Fourteenth-street. This window was raised about a foot, and sup? ported in that position by an old blacking brash. The sill was blackened by something like burned powder. Tho right-hand barrel of the shot-gun was without a load; the other had a liberal charge of buckshot. The Dispatch then gives tho evidence elici? ted at the inquest, which substantially con? firms the above recital of the circumstances of the murder. THE FATAL ARTICLE. The following is tho article published in the South: rn Opinion, of Saturday last, November 21, which, it ie alleged, was the cause of thc at? tack upon Mr. Pollard : "AN ELOPEMENT (SO-CALLED) ON CLAY-STREET -AN UPPER-TEN FAMILY CONCERNED -DREAD? FUL DENOUEEMENT. "Ob no, we never mention 'em,"-Old Air. "The Indian summer has passed away, and with it has passed a fair and radiant daughter of one of our first citizens (a nabob of Clay street), a gentleman who, suffice it to say, holds tho very first position in tho wealthy aud fashionable circles of the city. The daughter, the rebellant Helene of the family, is beautiful beyond description; but her beauty did not prevent her tro m falling desperately and irre? trievably in love with a young gentleman of Bemi-mtlitaire connections, who, it appears, some months ago plighted his troth and ac? cepted the tiny hand, grasping it within his own "Never to be parted; never for aye." "Nobody suspected a meaallunce, much less the father, until last Saturday night, when the daughter, who was the light of his household, fled to parts unknown, or at least only guessed, in company with one (a masculine) who should ere then have been proclaimed his son-in-law. "The runaway parties have been heard from, and it is now said that the lady proclaims her? self a wife of some six mouths, and that her affianced is the choice of her after-life. .What God bath joined together let no man put asunder.' "The gay young man who has whiskered away the angel is a gay Lothario named Ho? race Ford, of Goochlaud County, which county ought to be proud of him, as it doubtless is. Horace is an orphan, just plunging into his teens, and has lost both of his parents by death. Much property accrued to Horace in the shape of money, chattels, goods, ?c., and having converted tb" whole into 'ready rhino,' Horace ventured toi a swim in the sea of gay Life and love. He met Miss Mary Graut- \ beauty 'Met, perchance, the usual way, ' talked delicious nonsense, won her heart, ihen half inclined to earnestness, threw it ?.way. Ah! me! "inca he sailed .Oh, he sailed-oh, he sailed.' thc sam J as Captain Kidd did. "Horace went to New Orleans, and not hav? ing beeu shipwrecked by the way, telegraphed or wrote his beloved. Thus it went on through the sultry month of August, the crimson pe? riod of October-when the forests change their garments-do .vu to dull, chill Novem? ber. "Alas! that love should never run smooth tn an even current; but love never did, and never will, so they say. She responded, all unknown to tho wealthy dad, and he replied. Thus affairs progressed until Horace an? nounced last week that bo was oil* for Texas right away, and couldn't stop for ta-iilea like au affianced. "Then it was that the girl of the period made ap her mind and bundie. She would follow him-yes, ehe would follow him to the utter? most parts of the earth. Being of age, aud no longer the slave of parental control, Miss Mary on Saturday night last, having habilimented herself becomingly, deserted the palatial man? sion on Clay-street, and casting behind her wealth, society aDd friends, sought the office of a gentleman on Broad-street, whom she im? portuned to buy ber a ticket to New York. This gentleman, who is the pink of propriety, refused, and Miss Mary sought else .vhere, and found the ready moans. "At all events she procured passage on thc cars, and embarked on the half-past 8 o'clock train, which carried her northward at tho rate of twenty or thirty miles an hour, if not as speedilv as her heart desired. On the train, between Richmond and Aquia creek, she was observed to weep bitterly by the conductor, to whom she related her talc of woe aud distress. '.Her departure created, of course, a hub? bub in tho mansion on Clay-street; and amid the wringing of hands and ?oud expressions of distress the telegraph was invoked, and par? ties sent in hot pursuit. It wai s"'-raised that young: Ford, instead of going off to Texas "richi away,' as be announced, had put for New York-there to meet his Mary-and thither thc dclectives directed their steps. "The upshot of the matter is, to make a long story short, that Miss Maiy has been heard from; that she is now in-lhiladelphia; acd that, upon the whole, there is a very sorry i'amiiy history connected with the cane, which it is ?o' within our province to reveal." THE FACTS IN THE CASE. The Dispatch goes on to say : Wc aro informed that there was no elope? ment whatever; no gentleman in the case. The account given by members of the family of tho affair upon which this article is supposed to be based is that Miss Grant wished to visit a young lady Mead in Philadelphia, a daughter bf her father's business correspondent 111 that city. Her parents withholding their permis? sion, she tirade up her mind to go an v way, and accordingly started ou the Bteamer last Satur? day week. " The family made no attempt to go at ter hor, knowing very well where ?be was; but on Monday Messrs. McDowell and Duncan, the business friends of Mr. Grant, telegraphed that the younsr lady was there, and had boen taken suddenly ill. Young Mr. Grant and his mother went immediately to Philadelphia, and as soon as she wae well enough to come homo, which was on Friday, the whole party re: urned to Richmond. SKETCH OF THE DECEASED. Henry Rives Pollard was still a younsr man, not mofe than thirty-five years of age. He was the son of Major Richard Pollard, an officer in the old United States navy. He was born in Aita Vista, Nelson County, Va., and was named after HOD, William C. Rives, of Albemarle. Ho ?aesed a year or two at the VirgMia Military astitute, aud thence went to the University of Virginia, but, as we are informed, did not grad? uate at either institution. He commenced lite as a clerk in the Postoffice Department at Washington, but in a few months resigned in order to join a party going out West. These were surveyors, who were onmloved by the government on a mission to Kansas at about the time of tho border war exe.temen-. He remained with this party but a short time, but did not leave Kansas. He settled at Leaven? worth, and hero commenced his newspaper ca? reer as editor ot the Leavenworth Herald. At about this time he received an appointment as American Consul at Bangkok, Siam, but de? clined it owing to his connections in this country. We next hear of him in Baltimore, Maryland, where he was employed by Dr. G. A. Moore, on the Southern Family Journal, a brilliant but short-lived htorary weekly. He then went ou thc Baltimore Sun as newt? editor, a position which ho held until the breaking out of thc war. Ho then came to Richmond and obtained an appointment under John M. Daniel as news editor of the Examiner, then in the height of its popularity. His rotations with Mr. Daniel wcro agreeable, and that gentleman was wont to express a favorable opinion of his journalis? tic talent. Ho was Mr. Daniel's s.cond iu his duel with Hon. E. C. Elmore, Secretary of thc Confed?rate Treasury. With Mr. Daniel Mr. Pollard remained until the death of Mr. Daniel, two dayti before tho evacuation of Richmond. Soon afterwards, in conjunction with Mr. Charles H. Wynne, ho started the Evening, which afterwards be? came the morning. Times. A misunderstand? ing, resulting in a law suit, led to the dissolu? tion o? their co-partnership. Ho theil revived the Examiner, and being without means him? self, relied upon his brother-in-law,'Mr. Samuel James, tor pecuuiaiy help. Mr. Janies failing him, his paper was supported by means ob? tained under an agreement with thc Adams Express Company through their confidential agent in this city. This was about thc time of the organization of the National Express Com? pany. During Mr. Pollard's connection with the Ex? aminer his difficulties with General Heniiing 8C11, Samuel Jamas and one Fitchott occurred. Ibo facts in these cases bars been sufficiently ventilated in the public press. In October, I860, he loft thc Examiner, soiling out lo Mr. Thomas H. Wynne. Tho same month occur? red his affair "with Frederick Hipkins in tin streets of Baltimore. Hipkins, it will bo zo? rn em berta, was maimed for lite. In the spring of 1867 ho commenced a lecturing tour, with his essay on the "Chivalry of tho South." Its delivery in Lytichburg was interdicted by Gen? eral Wilcox, but General Schofield wiibdrow tho interdict. The lecture was delivered twice afterward, but did cot seem to take; and this pioject was abandoned, On thc 13th of June, 1867, Mr. Pollard started the Soul hern Opinion, as an exponent of ex:rome Southern views. He was Its editor at the time of his death. Mr. Pollard's mother was a sister of tho lalo William C. Rives and ot Judgo Alexander Rives. One sister is the widow ol' Rcat Admi? ral Charles ?. Bell, United States Navy, who was drownod a few months ago in the China Seas. Another is Mrs. Dr. Barker, of Macon, Ga.; and another is now residing in L ie. ruc, Switzerland. Tho elder brother, El ward A. Pollard, is the well-known listonan and mag? azine t. now resident in No v York. The other is .Mr. Richard Pollard, a well-known and high? ly respectable citizen of Lynchburg. Both have been informed by telegraph ol' their brother's death, and Mr. Edward A. Pollard will probably ba in Richmond to-dav. Mrs. Richard Pollard telegraphed yesterday that her husband was on a hunting excursion in Bath county. Of Mr. "Pollard's capacity as a journalist there seems to bo but one opinion. He was familiar with every department of the profes? sion which ho followed. Many who were in his employmeut speak of him" in kind terms, though ho was by no means a popular man. Of his private life this is not the place nor the time to speak. It is not the temper ot charitv to speak evil of tho spirit just ushered into the presence of its God, and while the body in which its d?eds of life were done is stark and cold, just touched by the finger of Death. THE ACCUSED. Everybody in Richmond knows Jame6 Grant, and there are not many young men more popu? lar. He is tho eldest son of Mr. William H. Grant, a well-known tobacco manufacturer, re? siding on Clay-street between Tenth and Elev? enth. He is a stoutly-built young man-not unhandsome. He ii best kno'wu as a musical amateur, having a bass voice universally ad? mired. He was a cadet at Lexington when tho war commenced, and enlisted as a member of the Caskie Rangers, of this city. For awhile he was a courier for General Jeb Stuart. He is now interested in the tobacco concern of which nis father is the head. After being arrested Mr. Grant was escorted to the lower police station and placed in thc room of thc Chief of Police. A nutnoer of his friends spout the day with him. He was in good spirits, and passed tho time in smoking and lively conversation. Ho made no admis? sions whatever as to thc shooting. It is un? derstood that Judgo Crump and Colonel Ould have been retained in his defence. CELIBACY AND TUE ROMAN PRIESTHOOD.-Th c Chicago Times comments upon the question of "Celibacy and tho Roman Priesthood," and the alleged tuet that ata meeting of bishops and cardinals at Rome tho proposition was dis? cussed to reverse, the dorina imposing celibacy upon the Catholic Church. With mt commit tiag itself to cither side or thu case further than remarking that celibacy best accords with the fact that "the church claims all tho 1 imo, thought, and labor of it.s priests," the Times proceeds to assert in effect: That Catholicism makes twelve converts where it loses one bv apostacy; that in thc West it ib united (com? pact), and that Protesttntism is divided; and that at the West "it does not scatter its ener? gies," but its "policy is concentration." J his massive efficiency, tho Times thinks, would be impeded by an abrogation of celibacy as to the priesthood, nnd it hopes the proposition will only be mooted to receive its quietus. THE PHILADELPHIA. MUItD.KIt. Further Particulars of the Murder of Mrs. Hill -Interesting Statements Speculations as to the Cause of thc Crime. The murder of Mrs. M. E. Hill in Philadel? phia, on Sunday evening, creates great excite? ment in that city. The Inquirer, of yesterday, ha9 the following additional particulars : Tho murder of Mrs. Hill is ono of the most brutal and startling on record, and but little else was thought of or talked of yesterdav throughout the length and breadth of the city. The wealth and social position of the parties connected with the tragedy: the fact that it occurred in one of the most respectable neigh? borhoods oi the city, and on a quiet Suudav evening, the brutal character of the assault and concomitant circumstances, invest i', with peculiar interest, scarcely inferior to anv de? liberate murder that ever took place iii thc "City of Brotherly Live." It is a woll-setlled belief that money was at the bottom of the dastardly act, and the grounds ot tba'- i.elief will bc found by perusing the following ad? ditional circumstances connected with the murder : THE THEORY OF THE MURDEH. An investigaliou into tho surroundings of the sad occurrence leaves little room to doubt that Mrs. Hill came to her death in the follow? ing manner, and thc finger ol' suspicion is pointed at tho victim's son-in-law, George S. Twitchcll, Jr., as thc perpetrator of the deed. The deceased ?as lying on the sofa, on her left side, evidently asleep, her head resting on the upper end of the pillow. Her murderer was sitting on thc rocking chair, smoking a cigar, which is evinced by the presence of ashes on the window nil. Ho raised the dead? ly weapon (a poker, which was found in the room, covered with blood and bair), and, with tremendous force, drovo tho tongue end into her right temple, causing a wound one and a half by two inches. Into this orifice, yester? day morning, the examining surgeon put two fingers thoir entire length. Then it was that tho blood spattered all around, not only mark? ing the surroundings, but also staining the clothing of the murderer. Tho victim awoke but for an instant, and rolling around on lier face, thc blows were plied thick and fast on the baek of thc head. It was at this time that the servant rang the bell, and the length of time she was waiting at the door shows that the murderer was nonplussed as to what should bo done with the body. After cogita? ting for a time, he concluded to throw her from thc window, which would set np a theo? ry that she bad fallen to tho pavement. This was accordingly done. He then ran imo his bed-room, threw off his vest and overdhirt, and then answered the bell. THE SEBVANT OIBL'S STATEMENT. The name of tho servant girl is Sarah Camp bull, and her statement is to the effect that sue had been visiting a friend, and returned to Mrs. Hill's house about nine o'clock on Sunday evening, where she rang tho bell for a long time before the door was opened. Mr. Twitch ell performed that office, and seeing who it was, said : "Sarah, is that you? I wonder where mother is?" She responded to this that she did not know, and thanked him for letting her in. She then entered the kitchen, and after putting coal on the fire went through the wash? house into the side-yard, where she was horri? fied by seeing the dead body of Mrs. Hill lying. Crying out for Mr. Twitche?, he came out" and said : " Let's carry her in." The body was taken into tho kitchen, when he called for wa? ter with which to wash her. Her bead pre? sented a frightful spectacle, being covered with blood, and after that was partially removod fearful and ugly gashes and wounds were re? vealed. Ho said: "She's dead." Sarah ron into Ihe street and met Policeman Howard on tho pavement, to whom she stated what she had seen. That officer entered tho house, and was informed that thc deceased hud fallen from thc window in the bael;'apartment, of tho dining-room, and directly under which she was lying. Having his suspicions fully aroused, officer Howard placed Mr. Twitcholl under arrest, and his wif-j (the murdered woman's daughter) also. Word of thc occur? rence was then seut to the Eighth Ward station bouse, and a detail of men was immedi? ately sent to the scene, and word telegraphed to tho Central Station. Detective Warnock, then being on duty, repaired to the hou-c, and, after conversing with the alleged mur? derer and wife and examining the place, direct? ed Twitchcll to oe taken to the station, and confined Mrs. Twitcholl to her room, under guard of tho officers. When Sarah first saw Mr. Twitch*!] she noticed that he had on his boots, pantaloons and coat, but no vest or overshirt. When the pohcoman took hin1 ?nto custody ho c inducted him to his Blooping apartment, where he arrayed himself with shirt and vest. It was then noticed that thc front of his coat and sleeve, and his pantaloons, boots, and tho bosom of his overshirt, were all besmeared with blood. After beiug taken to tho station this clothing was talion off, and u change sent for. On talking with tho police, Mr. Twitcholl admitted that there were strong circumstances against him, but he believed he could clear h'msclf and wife. STATEMENT OF MRS. TWITCHELL. Tho wife of the alleged marderer, Mrs. Twit chell, waB closely questioned ai tho central sta? tion, whither she had ben brought by tho offi? cers, and she stated that her mother, Mr. Twitchcll and herself had been conversing in the dining room, and at about half-past eight o'clock she retired to bcd, leaving doceased and Mr. Twitchcll in that room. That she dis rooed aud retired to bed, where she read for some time. In a little (Tuite lier mother came in and talked tor a short time, aid then left. As she passed out ol the door Mr. Twitchcll passed in, bidding Mrs. Hill good-night. Ho then got into bcd, and both went to sleep. She was awakened, not knowing thc time, by a vio? lent ringing at tho bell. She started' out of bed, but was stop) ed by her husband, who re? mained that he would go down. He accordingly got up, partially dressed himself, and weut doun. She also states that her mother had about five thousand dollars in cash nud a live hundred dollar note. Mrs. Hill's agent paid her a considerable sum of mnnoy on Saturday, but none of it had boen iouud up to last eve? ning. SUPPOSED CAU8E OF THE ITUKDEB. As alluded to above, the desire of pecuniary gain ia believed to bc at the root, ol the dis? tressing tragedy. Mt s. Twitchell is the daugh? ter of Mrs. Hip by a former husband named Price, and is Shout tbirty-fivo years of age. Her father was a poor man, and on his death, some years ago, her mother married Mr. Hill, a wealthy gentleman. Mr. Hill (lied, and loft his property in such a way that his widow could reap tho entire benefit of it np to tho time of her death, on which event it would re? vert to his family. This would leavo the daughtec without a dollar. Sho married Twit? chcll, Jr. They then lived with Mrs. Hill, No. 319 South Ninth-street, until about three months ago, when they removed to the house at Tenth and lJine streets. Mrs. Hill having the means at her disposal, desired to purchase the property, and directed her son-in-law to ncgotiato for it. The trans? action culminated in tho purchase of the dwelling, and thc deeds drawn up aud the money paid over. A few days since tho fact that the deeds were in the name of Mrs. Twif chell, aud not in thc name of ' irs. Hill, came to light. The litter consulted counsel, who had advised n suit tor the purpose of recovering the property. A criminal prosecution was also talked of, and it is now believed that these facts having como to ilia knowlege of the daughter and son-in-law, they concerted a schemo of d >ing away with the old lady, who was tho only obstacle in tho way of their re? taining possession of their ill-g.nton property. Mr. Twitchcll is engaged tn business in Cam? den, and he is still confined in tho eighth ward sttitieii-housc. Mrs. Twitchcll remains in cus? tody. THE MACHI>E FOR MISSIONAMES.-AS every? body knows, thero is but ono sewing machine sufficiently simple and reliable for the usc of missionaries; und ibis ia the Willcox & Gibbs. So long ago as 1SG1, tho Rev. A. T. Pratt, missionary of the American Board, writing to Mr. Willcox, says: "1 have now had one of your machines for six mouths, and am ready to thank you for introducing them to thc public. It is the only machine wilone woikmg is ao sure and simple (hat 1 could venture to iutro ducc it in Syria." - Feed is said 11 bc so scarce in some sec? tions of Ohio that farmers arc selling off their Btock at remarkably low figures. Five thou? sand two hundred and filty sheep were sold a; Cleveland last w< ek for $272 50. or five cents per head, tho seller retaining the hides, and the purchaser slaughtering the animale.

Tho correspondent's statemeut, however, varies very materially from that of Mr. Poll ird, and in fact changes thc whole nature of tho trans? action into ono entirely legitimate and con? sistent with the rules of civilized warfar?. He says : The occasion referred to wis immediately af t:r the battle of Fredcricksburg, Virginia. * On tue 11th ot December, 18(12, tho Federals occu? pying the northern bank of thc Rappahan ncck River, upon the southern side ol'which Fredcricksburg is situated, opened fire upon thc town with ono hundred and forty-nine pioces of artillery. A majority of the inhabi? tants left town when thc bombardment com? menced. Early in tho morning the enemy, un? der cover of their fire, attempted to swing a pontoon bridge laden with soldiers across tho river. A few yell directed shots from our ar? tillery broke the bridge, and tho boats floated down the river, thc men to bo drowned or to bc killed by the deadly rifles of Barksdale's Mississippians. At night another and successful attempt to cross was made below the city at Deep Run, and in a few moments thereafter the town was occupied by thc enemy. The 12th was spent in making preparations for the battle on the 13th, the result of which is too well known to be detailed herc; suffice it to say, that by dark on that day tho onomy s troops, to the number of sixty thousand, torn, bleeding and thoroughly disorganized, were crowded in town. While thus situated, tho Confederate chiefs held a council of war. Aa has been frequently asscrto 1, and novor, until lately, contradicted, General Lee stated that he thought the enemy would make another attack, not believing that thoy had suffered so severe? ly and were so broken up as was afterward ascertained. To this opinion General Jackson disagreed, and suggested that thc artillery of the first and second corps, his and Longst reet's, should be collected upon the hills directly in front of the town, an 1 a heavy fire be opened upo.i it, and that tue men of his corps be stripped to the waist to distinguish them from tho ene? my, and under the cover of our artillery lire force their way into the town and bayonet all who were not similarly attired. His corps was on the right and Longstreet's on the left. The men of tho latter corps were not to bo stripped nor to participate in tho attack, but woro to protect tho artillery and prevent tho enemy fr<>m escaping up the river and crossing at the fords, which doubtless they would have attempted had an attack been made, for there was only one pontoon at tho town, which would not have afforded ogress for one-fifth of the multitude, and the bridges at D.>ep Run would have boon secured and all communication with them and the town cut off at the first dash mado by our troops. It has been asserted by officers high in au? thority that the suggestion above mentioned waa made and adopted, and that Jackson es? pecially stipulated that his troops should not be al lo ved to fire, but should only uso tho bayonet. It is a well-authenticated fact that an attack upon tho town was contemplated by our chief, and in furtherance of the plan tho artillery was pla-ed upon the heights ia front of the breastworks bolniid which they had fought during the day's battle, with instruc? tions to await a signal and then to open firo upon thc town, and continue the firo until fur? ther ordcis, or until tho yells ot our troops would show that thoy wcro "in town-in a posi? tion to bc endangered by our fire. Tho infantry of tho ?rst corps were posted to defend the artillery (it was aftcrwatd told by mon of the sec mil corps that they had receiv? ed orders to strip lo their waist-), but thc sig? nal for the bombardment was never given and orders came to retire within the breastworks, as the proposed attack had been given up by Gen. Lee, who feared that thc numerous inhabi? tants remaining in thc town would suffer alike with tho enemy. TUA DDE US STE I 'EXS. Ills Property-Private Habits- Kerngal to licet ive Presents, ?ic. Tho National Intelligencer, referring to the story go.ng tho rounds of tho press that tho personal property of tho late Hon. Thaddeus Stevana was barely sufficient to pay his dobts, and that his furnace property w.ie worth nbout $GO,000, which, with his house at Lancaster, valued at $15 OOO, constituted thc bulk of his real estate, remarks that euch a statement is more poetic than true. Tho Intelligencer then piocesds to commend tho private life and habits of thc deceased, nnd adds : He owed nobody at thc date of his decease, and ho had in the bink jf Lancaster, as we arc informed by Mr. lioughtcr, his personal fi iona, about twenty thousand dollars. Ho had I i ct Io or nothing in public securities. His plain and sim? ple mansion at Lancaster cannot bo valued at above half a dozen thousand dollars. Thc sum and substance of his means wore in his furnace at Gettysburg. Though it in former davs, as ho wits "accustomed to say, was an absorbent of Ins income professionally.yet in later ones it bas been profitable, tho ore bad being superior, and the me hod of blasting being by charcoal. Hence th? Confederate force did bim mach dam? age in its raid, not so much in the value of what was actually destroyed tu in tho destruct io.i of work at the furnace itt a period of great demand for superior sorts ot iron tor machine purposes. A few thousand dollars probably covered the actual losses in property i 'dieted by thc raul iu question. lu the last part of Mr. Stevens' lifo ho re m irked that he would take $150,001) for his Get? tysburg property, but Dr. Noble Young, of this city (his phyhicia.ii ), who is familiar with it and the locality; estimates its prospective value, in good hands, at double that figure. The works wero carried on in Mr. Stevens' name, and. of course, they did not make the returns that they would had ho been a practical ironmaster. Mr. Stevens' library is very lar o and varied in its character. It is worth several thousand dollars. He was, we learn, thoroughly read in thc old stamp of works in history and litera? ture, a id also iu tho modern ones of superior character. He received, while iii Congress, great numbers of newspapers, of both sides in politics, most of which ho read, as it respects their editorials. Herein this intellectual giant differed from a crowd of inferior persons in Congress and elaowhero in pubhc position, who so often profess contempt of newspapers and newspaper correspondents, yet who owe very much of their prominence more to tho mis? placed partiality of such than to any marked merits of their own. In the latter-day public career of Mr. Stevens his labors were immense, and as bis physical powers were declining, he was obliged to bc cxceetiin rJy circumspect in respect ti his hab? its and efforts. Ho was through life a tempe? rate man iu tho strict sense ol tho tenn, indul? ging only in a glass of wino or other drink as a form of hospitality or courtesy upon the oc? casion of the visit of old and value j friends, or possibly of some superior political function? ary. He therefore received with undisguised dislike the prescription some threo years be? fore his death of the use of stimulants. Ho was abstemious as to diet, eating but two meals a day, and retiring very early and rising late. He add that much Bleeding or lying in bed, even if not slcopin,'. was a great natural restorer of exhausted naturo. Tiiis is in con? sistence with the modera scientific idea that three or four hours' close mental tabor calls for twice tho repose that dojs thc same expendi? ture of timo in baud work, the call b.'ing far greater upon nerve power and other eources of vitality. Breakfasting at eight o'clock, Mr. Stevens would at onco proceed to dis.ioso of bis mail, which was, of course, very large. Most letters he would throw into the waste baskot upon sight of thc names of tho writers. When onco questioned as to the propriety of so doing, he answered that he know the couteutd by the names. It was Talleyrand who said that '"most letters answered themselves." Tho row letters that Mr. Stevens wrote were comprised iu a half dozen lines. The most important look but a letter page, excluding party or political ones, which were also brief lor docttnieuls ot that stamp. Until the last of his life, ho but little utilized the labors uf others in carrying on his correspondence. Mr. Stevena waa opposed to the receipt of tho moat common presents, such as canea, &c., in compliment of public servicea. On a certiin occaaion, a sealed package cams to him which he au8pected contained money as a reward for 8ome public service. "While engaged for a mo? ment in another apartment, tho package waa opened incautiously by an attendant, lt con? tained a groat number of one thousand dollar bills. Mr. Stevens, in causing a resealing of tho package, and its immediate return to the source from whence it came, expressed great regret that it should have beea opened, be? cause he intended to return it intact, suspect-: ing the contente, yet not wishing to know for a certainty of what tn its presentation he felt to be a wound. Another package of $'r000 was returned with stinging retort. That he had very many like offers in money and stocks is likely, and that they were habitually refused is sure, since that bia estate is of the most mod? erate value. Bcnxrso OF THE OHIO LUNATIC AsyLtnt EXCITING AND THBILLTNG ?CENES. -The Colum? bus (Ohio) Statesman gives full particulars of | the burning of tho Lunatic Asylum in that city a few nights ago. We copy tho following: The major portion of the inmates had not re? tired when the fire broke out, but in tho ward where the fire originated wcio some of the most mischievous, and some sick ones. All efforts to induce those to leave their rooms were unavailing, and thc few citizens who had reached the place, and the attendants, were obliged, at thc risk ot their own lives, te rush in and drag them from the horrible fate that awaited them. The roa.' of tho flames, and rolling clouds of smoke, now black OB night and again lit with a lurid glare; the cries, screams, shouts, laughter and dancing of the demented women, whose madness seemed in? creased by the wild and exciting scenes around them, made up a picturo terrible to look upon. By-and-by came word that some were dying in their rooms, suffocated in the smoke, and others raving and straggling to free themselves from their confinement. Then some of our heroic citizens rushed into the Hames and dragged forth the dead and the dying. Some were dead when reached; others died shortly after coming to the fresh air. One poor crea? ture, a beautiful girl of about eighteen, whoso arms wore confined because of her mischievous propensities, on being brought out called pite? ously for her mother, and died with the prayer on her lips that she might be allowed to lay her hoad upon her mother's breast, "it pains mo so," she said. There were six of the female patients who died of suffocation and inhalation of the flames. i?iurrifu. THO MASON-C APEBS.-In Camden, on the 17ih instant, by the Rev. C. H. PBITCHABD. Rev. C.

Sickness, to a greater ex'eut than most people suppose, is avoid? able. When the body ls languid, the gp:rlts de? pressed, and thc nervous system unnaturally sensi? tive, it should bc taken for granted that ruise lief is hrewing. These hints and warnings, vouchsafed as such by a kind Providence, ought not to bc disre? garded. It they are slighted, a? is too generally the case, the next thing may be a fever, a severe bilious itt IC il, ur some other form ot acute disease. They indicate as clearly as if the intimation were given in articulate language, that the aninal functions are disordered, and the system debilitated. Under these circumstances, tho only thing to bo done is to regulate and restore, und the best regulating and restorative preparation ever used for the i io*-entiou of sickness is HOSTcTTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. lu this way, bdious rend-tent fever, chills and fever, spasms, nervous paroxysms, violent attacks ot indigestion, and all t^e oidiuary epidemics, may almost certainly Do averted.
