They bad searched in the wronx piece. They had taken it for grunted that the murdurs had been com mitted upon the dark road In the swamp. I waa now convinced that the dead body I had just left had beer, borne to its present place of rest from the shore of the oroek. And wbat was here beyond that? How came it upon the shore of the creek? We shall presently see. 1 left the proper officer to take ohar(e of the corpse, and bavin* told Mr. WaUon to moot me in Jackson on tho following morning, I started for tho latter place and put up my horse at the stable of the inn— the inn kept by Laman Stoker. I found the hostlor; and shuddered when I looked at him—not because he was a very ugly looking man, but becauso he looked to me exactly tit to help his master do bloody work. He was a thin, pale, cold-blooded fellow, with a low, recoding brow ; sharp, cold eyes; a small triangular nose, and a thick heavy uppor lip. If lie had been a larger man those characteristic features would have been more prominent, and people might have feared him ; but, as it was, he passed for a weakly unhealthy man, aWd nobody had thought of his doing harm. Tbo landlord had not yet returned, and while the hostler—his name was John Bonne— was removing my saddle from my best, I spoke of tho murder in tho swamp. Thu leilow had heard all about it but hsd not 4>uen down lowo tho body. Hi. mat ter had gone, and he had remained be hind. He spoke trecly and unconcernedly —in fact loo much so. It would have been natural for him to have exhibited aorno little feeling, and the fact that he did not do so, led me to conclude that he had schooled himself to act his part. After I seen my horse taken care of, I walked out behind tho inn, upon tbo brow of a point of table laud, and a short dis tance beyond I saw the bend of the creok. Toward the creek I made my way, and when within a few rods of the water, I stopped. I saw something on the grass— a dark, red clot, hanging upon a stout blade, and bending it down, I stood, took it upon my fingers, and found it to be blood. I pushed on to tho shoro of the stream, but there wore no fresh footprints thero. I went back a littlo way, and found that tbo trail turned to tho left, and led to a point of thu swamp which made up be. bind the bluff on which the village stood. I made my way into tho thicket ol vines and cotton wool, and presently I found a boat drawn up upon tlio shore of the creok. It was of a kind culled a "dug out," and was wet outside and in as though it had boen lately washed off. Perhaps you can tmag ne that I was be ginning to be excited in my search. The blood had been washed down and rinsed; but tho fatal murk had not been oblitera ted. The water that gathered in the bot tom, standing in little pools, bad a crim son tinge, and thorn were one or two dark spots which had not been washed off. So far as niv own mind was concerned, I had no doubt. Binco 1 first entertained an opinion of the criminality of Stoker, everything had turned out just as I had looked for it; and, when 1 had left the boat, 1 bad about come to the conclusion to make my nextmovemont in my official capacity. When I had reached tbo inn, Stoker had returned, and dinnor was al most ready. The host oyed mo sharply, but I kept my countenance. It did me good to have him oyo mo in that manner, for I know that he feared mo. Did I not know why very well? Id short, every event from that time forth, gavo weight to tho testimony I had already collected. After dinner Stoker askod how long I intended to slop with him. 1 intoudod to stop over night, and meet Watson in the morning; hut my plan was changed. The wretch Bliowod me more plainly than before that lie mistrusted me, nnd I feared that something might turn up to injuro iny cause if 1 delayed too long. So I told him I was not going to stop at all—1 had u long road to travel, nnd 1 was in a hur ry, Whether he was pleased with this or not, I could not determine. I paid for dinner for myself and horse, and got away as quickly as possible,and redo post haste to Huntsville. Watson opened his eyes with astonish ment when 1 told him what 1 had discov ered ; but be did not oppose my belief. The whole, as 1 opened it to him in regu- lar sequence, struck directly to his under standing; Hnd he only wondered that he had not thought of something of that kind before. He was ready to act with me, and our plans wero soon laid. He went out and engaged three stout men to accompany us, two of whom wore con stables, and after tea the whole parly set forth on our wav to Jackson. We reached the inn a little after dark. WaUon and one of the constables wont to tho stable and scoured John Boone, while I wont into the house and nrrestea Laman Stoker. Tho latter, as I intimated, was a r iowerful fellow, and came very near giv. ng us troublo; but a blow from the butt end of ray heavy pistols reduced his strength somewhat, and after lliut ha was easily secured. Then we commenced to soarch the house. 'Wo bunted high and low, and had plonly of interested people to help us. l’arlition walls were torn down and Boors ripped up. We fouad the property of the murdered man in a secret locker; and in a tank of water, away in one corner of tho cellar, we found a lot of bloody bed clothes. We had evidence enough; and tho prisoners were carried to the county jail that very night. On ihe next ilny John Boone was dy ing. He had been sick with consumption lor a long time, and during his struggle with Waleou the night bofore,his strength had complotely failed him. When he knew he could not live, he declared that he would make a clean breast of It. I am inclined to think, however, that he hoped his confession might benefit him in case he should by any possible means re cover. This confession was just what I ex ported. Hu and Laman Stoker had com mitted the murders—had done lha killing in the house, and then conveyod thu bod ies, by way of the crock, to the road in the swamp, and when thu murdered men bad horsos they bed boen taken out of the stable tbo hack way, saddled and bri dled. and turned loose in the road.

From tho New York World, 29th. Henry Orinnell, Hsq., has receivod a letter which Mr. Hell wrote to Uaplain Cbepol to be forwarded to Mr. Griqnoll, from which we are permitted {o extract: Winter Quartzes, in Ioloo, ) Noo-Wook West End Rowe’s Wolcomo, > Let. 61:46 N., Lon. 87:20 W. j Dear Friend Chapel: In this letter I have some deeply interesting intelligence to communicate to you. Since falling in with the natives I have not been Idle. Nothing in Perry’s narrative of second voyego for the dlsoovery of Northwest passage relating to the Esquimaux of Winter island and Iglookh, but these natives are perfectly posted up. Indeed, I find through my superior interpreter, 1’oo ko-on-too, that manly deeply inter esting incidents occurred at both named pieces that never found their place in Parry's or Lyon’s works. But the great work already done by me is gaining Tittle by little of these natives through Too-ko* on- too and K-bier-buug rotating to Sir John Franklin’a expedition. This, you know, was lha-great object of my mission to tho Forth, I cannot stop to tell you now all 1 have gained of this people—no, not the one-hundredth part—most of it relating to Franklln’i expedition. [The nalirea are now loading sledge; it is 7:80 o’clock a. in.) I will givo you very briefly what the people of England and America will be most interested to learn. When I come down I shall bring my dispatches and journals up to the time of writing you. These will be committed to your care for transmitting to the States. The most important matter that I have acquired Joletee to the feet that thero yet may be threo survivors of Sir John Frnuklin'e expedition, and oue of these— Oroxior—the ono who succeeded Sir John Franklin on bis death. Tho details aro deeply Interesting, but thU must suffice till I come down. Crozier and three men who wore with him were found by a cousin of Ou-e-la (Albert), Sboo-sbe-elk-nuni (John), and Ar-noo-a (Frank), wliilo moving on the ioe from one igloo to another, this cousin bating with him his family end engaged in soaling. This oc curred near Bontha Felix peninsula. 0ro sier was nothing but skin and bones, and nearly starved to doath, while tbo threo men with him were fat. The cousin soon learned that the three fat men had been living on human flesh—the flesh of their companions—who all deserted tho two ships that wero fast in mountains of ice, while Orozier was the only man llmt would not oat human flesh, and for this reason he was almost starved to death. This cousin took Crozlor and the threo men at once in charge. He soon caught a seal, and gave Crozier quickly a littlo, a vor.v little piece, which was raw—only a single mouthful the first day. The cousin aid not givo the three fat men anything, for they could well get along, till Crozior't life was safe. The next day the cousin gave Urozier a little larger piece of seal. By the judicious caro of this cousin for Crozier his lifo was saved. Indeed, Cro- zier's own judgment stuck to him in this terrible situation, for he agroed with tb; cousin that one little bit was all that lit should have the first day. When the cousin first saw Ctozlur'a face, it looked so bad—his eyes all sunk in, and the face so skeleton like and haggard, that the cousin did not care to look upon his face for sev eral days after, it mado biin fuel eo bud. This noble oouoin, whom the whole civil- izod world wilf ever remombor for his humanity, took care of Crozier and his three men, save one who diod, through the whole winter. This man died a short time after the cousin found them—not of starvation, however, but beoauee he was sick. Id the spring, Crozier and the remain ing two men accompanied tiiis cousin on the Bontba Folix peninsula to Netohille, where tbera many Innuits. Crozier and each of his men had guns and a plenty of ammunition, and many pretty things. They killedagreasmany duckr, nowyens, Ac., with their guns. Here they lived with the Innuits at Natchille, and Crozier became fat and of good health. Crozfor told this cousin that he was once at Re pulse bay, at Winter island and Iglookh many years before, and that at the two last named places he saw many Innuits and got well acquainted with them. This cousin had heard of Fairy, Lyon and Croxier, through bis Innuit friends at Re pulse bsy, some years previous, and there fore when Croaier gave him his name ho recollected it. He saw Crozier one year before he found him and the three men, where tba two ships were in the ice. It was there that he found out that Crozier had been to Iglookh. Crozier and the two men lived with the Netchille Innuits sometime. Tboy liked him very muoh, and troated him always very kindly. At length Crozier, with bis two men, and ono Innuit, who took along an Indiarubher boat—as E-hior-buag was inclined to think it was, for all along the ribs there was something that could be filled with air—loft Natchille to try to go to the Kob-lu-nas country, taking a south course. When Ou-e-la (Albert) and his bro thers, in 1864, saw this cousin that bad been so good to Crozier and his men, at Pally bay (which is not far from Netch- tllo), the cousin had »ot beard whether Croxier, his two men, and tho Natchille innuit bad over ceme back or not. The Innuita never think they era dead—do not believe they are. Crrozier offered to give hie gun to the cousin for saving bis life, but the cousin would not accept it, for he was afraid it would kill him, It mado such a great noise, and killed everything with nothing. Then Crozier gave him a long, curious knife (sword, as E-bier-hung and Too-ko-lo no say it was) and many pretty things besides. [Toe dogs aro all in harness, and tho sledges loaded, and Innuita waiting for my letters. I promise them 1 will ba ready in thirty minutes.) Crozier told the cousin of a fight he had with a band of Indians—not Innuits, but Indians. This must havo. occurred near tho entrance of Great Fish or Baca's river.
