appears, he neglected to write to his wife as
»t!l as to his friends and acquaintances. Mrs.
Lowery loved her husbend,bnt also loved matri-
nionv: and a certain George W. Wheeler had

1 mie of his companions, that Lowery was killed
1 n the war, and the best thing therefore for her
1 o ,|o was to get married again. She at length
I indented to be Mrs. Wheeler. But shortly
lifteiwards Lowerv comes home and finds his
I j,lai-e occupied by another. He reclaimed his
Erights; Wheeler held to his; and finally, in
irdcr to put an end to the conflict, they de
fied to leave it to the choice of the lady. She
was accordingly consulted, and, as one always
returns to’their first love, she threw herself
with passion into the arms of Lowery, who put
las finger to his nose at Wheeler. Ne vert he
ie,s, Wheeler did not give himself np as a
beaten man. He continued to lurk about the
bouse, and at length became so annoying that
l.owcry became impatient,;and threatened him
with violence if he did not cease bis persecu

itc., ‘ \ &C.,
MUK-
kc.
A cold-blooded murder was committed in
Brooklyn, on Wednesday night, 10th inst.,
and what renders the deed the more startling is
the fact that it was perpetrated in a pnblic and
populous portion of Brooklyn, within a Tew
steps of business and dwelling houses, and
without the knowledge of a human being save
.the two engaged in the transaction.
In the facts which we are about to relate,
there is a daring and determination of purpose
exhibited which scarcely has a parallel in the
history of crime. The murder was committed
in one of the prominent city parks - of Brook
lyn, in a tliickly populated portion of the city,
at a time of night when pedestrians were pass
ing to and fro, and within a few minutes’ walk
of two police station houses. The victim was
a wealthy Cuban gentleman by the name of
Jose Garcia Otero, who, from the facts, it
would appear, was enticed from his temporary
lodgings at the Barcelona Hotel, in Great
Jonos street, New York, to Brooklyn, and
there brutally murdered and robbed of from
eight to ten thousand dollars. It is asserted
that the deceased was a manager of a Cuban
theatre, and had come to this country to pur
chase machinery and fixtures for carrying on
his business.
Jose Garcia Otero arrived in New York on the
steamer from Havana and put up at the Barce
Iona Hotel. At the same hotel stopped a man
named Josa Gonzales, who arrived at the same
time, and, it is believed by some, in cornpay with
Mr, Otero. An intimate friendship apparently
existed between them during their stay at the
hotel. Gonzales, being acquainted with the En
glish tongue, acted as interpreter for his friend.
Both were afl'ihle, and Otero remarkably! muni
ticent, appearing to have an abundance ot money.
Large quantities™! gold coin were seen with him
from time to time bv clerks and others with whom
he had financial dealings.
On Wednesday evetiiDg they supped together at
aanted in order that lie might lodge a com- I th^iisital bour^and, stepping up to the desk,
hunt against bis rival, and have him arrested otero demanded hia bill, and paid it in full. It
threatening his life; and he accordingly
it to the police office and stated his case.
; it appeared that Wheeler’s principal object
the nrrest-of Lowery was to take advantage
11,! the absence of the latter in order that he
i: -lit assist him in his conjugal functions. The
rihuiial honorably discharged Lowery, and
I severely reprimanded tho husband par interim
I i,n>i again a bachelor.
The following is another Btory not less inter-
I Ming hut much more scandalous ;
in April last, a day or two before the de-
j srure from Camp Chase of one of the Ohio
j regiments, a charming young woman in the
[ iV-wer cf her sixteen summers, presented her-
I self to the camp in order to bid her husband
I t.irewcll to whom she had been married about
| fix weeks previously. She was well received
t ami wnen about to return home, a distance of
-nme miles from the camp, she requested the
Captain to allow her husband to accompany
her in the railway depot. The Captain re
fused, but stated that he was himself going to
' Columbus, and that he would see that proper
are should be taken of the young lady. He
. banded her into a carriage and brought her to
Columbus, but instead of conveying her to the
railway station, he brought her to a hotel and
mere, partly by threats and persuasion, he
, succeeded in making her forget her fidelity to
| tor husband. A day or two afterwards the
! regiment set off for the war and the young lady
j longer saw her husband and kept her secret
I fi r several months. Nevertheless absence, re-
| morse, and the natural revival of virtue in a
I heart so young, induced her to avow her fault,
| which she did in a touching letter to her kus-
I band. Exasperated by the unexpected revela-
I ion, the soldier threw himself in the way of
I ais Captain and reproached him for his con-
I iluct before all the officers of the regiment,
I "ho, indignant at such conduct, immediately
I drew up a denunciation which they addressed
| to the General, but before the Captain re
ived the well-merited price of his bad con-
■iui-t, the regiment was disbanded and lie es
caped punishment. Still, as morality always
triumphs, except in cases where vice is re
warded aud virtue punished, the Captain paid
dearly for his crime and in a manner that, to a
man of feeling, was worse than the most rigor-
1 th punishment of military discipline Before
separating, the officers of the regiment resolved,
in order to preserve mutually a souvenir of
tneir brotherhood in arms, to have a photo
graph in which they should all figure. The
gr up formed themselves before the photo
grapher, but at the moment of commencing,
one of the officers moved that the Captain in
aextion should retire, his con/rore* wishing to
avoid any association with a man who had dfc
■b.imcfully soiled his epaulettes. The motion
was unanimously adopted and the Captain was
bligi-d to quit Hie circle from which he was so
shamefully turned away. He immediately
abandoned tjie place and set out for his home
in Ohio. '
The poor soldier who had so unfortunately
I become the victim of the vicious instincts of
I bis Captain, became ill the day after he re-
! wived the fatal news and died of grief in one
of thi

was understood that they were both to start on
the morrow for Havana, and in the meantime
Gonzales proposed a brief walk, and Otero at
once signified his accciptar.ce of the invitation.
The cleric, aware that he always carried on his
parson a large amount of money, suggested that
he should place his gold aud notes in the office
safe until his return from the streets, he being a
Btranger, Ac. He was about to assent, but his
friend Gonzales stepped up and said the precau
tion Re unnecessary, and hinted in an under
tone that it might be less safe in that place than
it would be in his own possession. So, placing
his funds, which are supposed to have amounted
to eight or ten thousand dollars, securely in an
inner pocket the two “friends” sallied forth to
gether, and, ns is supposed, leisurely walked to
the Fulton ferry and crossed over to Brooklyn.
The Murder.
Arriving in Brooklyn, Otero, with his supposed
friend, walked np from the ferry through some of
the darkest streets in the city, and so into City
Park. As soon as they were inside the gates the
struggle appears to have begun, for about one
hundred feet distant from the southeast gate foot
marks, as of a violent struggle were observable.
Here ho appears to have been assaulted with a
slung shot by his assailant, but immediately at
tempted to escape by commencing to run from
him, who then set upon him with a dagger.
Here there hod no doubt, from indications, strug
gled violently, the unfortunate man defending
himself with a razor.
The Bodti ^Discovered.
The body of the deceased was discovered
shortly before tea o’clock on Wednesday eve
ning, in the City Park, placed upon a door
and carried to the station house by the officers
and persons who had collected around the
body. On arriving at the station house the
body was searched, and upon it were found a
hotel bill, by which he was identified, as well
as two hundred dollars in five dollar gold
pieces in a pocket, and sixteen dollars and
eighty-three cents in greenbacks and fractional
currency in a pocket book. These, together
with a massive gold finger ring, were taken
charge of by the police. Coroner Lynch was
notified, and upon his arrival he, together with
Captain Waddy and assistants, procured a lan
tern and proceeded to the Park, in order to
search around the spot. A soft felt hat, be
longing to the deceased, was found near the
spot where the first struggle occurred, and had
been cut in three different places, as if with a
sliarpe knife. A few yards distant from the
b6dy was found a broken razor, with which he
appears to h^ve defended himself, as the blade
was broken*' off completely and covered with
blood. A razor case was found near by. A
pair of light kid gloves were found about one
hundred feet distant by roundsman Willmark,
and appeared to have been thrown awqy, as
they were turned inside out; they were cut
across the back of the right hand and on the
side of the left hand by a razor. The de
ceased liaviDg no cats on his hands, they must
have belonged to the assassin, who appears to
have received these injuries from the razor of
the dying man. A small dagger, about seven
inches in length, was found at daylight by
rqundsman Willmark, about two hundred feet
from where the body of the deceased was ly
ing, and appeared to have been thrown away,
together with its sheath and belt, which were
found near by. Upon his body was found a
small pocket handkerchief, upon which were
the initials J. G. O. The point of the dagger
was turned up, as if it had met with resist-

■*The deceased was dressed m a Dew suit'of
clothes throughout, white shirt, dark brown coat
and pants of the same material, and a peppar and
salt colored vest. He was a man ol splendid
build, having a well developed chest and frame,
and very lino and powerful looking. He appear
ed to have been about thirtv-five years of age.

Atlantic and Gulf Railroad.
From the Southern Enterprise of the 15th
inst. we take the following exhibit of the con
dition of this very important road :
This company, as now existing, was formed
by the consolidation of the “Savannah, Al
bany & Gulf Railroad Company” and the “At
lantic and Gulf Railroad Company,” which
constructed one continuous line, to which a
branch connecting with Florida has been add
ed. The object has been to furnish an outlet
to the products of Eastern and Southern Geor
gia, and Middle Florida, with ultimately a
main trunk line of transportation between the
Atlantic ocean and Gnlf of Mexico.
In brief, this road has.225 1-2 miles of fin
ished track, which will be, say December 16,
1865, in good running order, and 35 miles
graded, but not yet ironed, with ample supply
of rolling stock for present necessities.
The principal deficiencies now are depot
buildings and machinery (destroyed, worn out
or incomplete,) and iron fopextension to Bain-
bridge.
There has been issued against this $8,072,-
867.05 capital; 75,900.00 guaranteed stock;
200,000.00 (about) floating debt; 943,000.00
funded debt, of which only 643,000.00 is a
mortgago on the road.
That is to say, roughly, about three millions
capital stock, aud twelve hundred thousand of
funded and floating indebtedness.
Under a moderate computation of its probable
earnings and expenses, the company will pay up
its floating debt of say $:;C0,000 by the 1st Janu
ary, 18(17, and the funded debt will oniy be in
creased for the necessary renovation and exten
sion of the road.
It is quite reasonable to expect that this com
pany will begin to pay dividends in the summer
of 1 &G7. The statistics of the road are nearly
thus;
It has been built two hundred miles from Sa
vannah, Georgia, Southwesterly to Thomasville,
Thomas county, Georgia, at a cost of about $13,-
600 per mile, including the cost of grading 35
miles further west to Bain bridge, Ga., the head
ol navigation on Flint river.
It is expected to lay the iron to Bainbridge as
as soon financial facilities will warrant its pur
chase. The company’s charters from the States
of Alabama and Georgia authorizes its extension
to Mobile, and a line was located in 18G0 to
Pollard, Ala., a distance from Savannah of about
370 miles. Here it would tap the existing rail
ways to Mobile and Montgomery, Ala., and Pen
sacola, Fla., and from the shortest point from
Savannah to New Orleans, La.
The government of the United States has
granted the company alternate seotions of publio
lands lying on the line of its route through Ala
bama. A branch connecting this road with the
Florida system of railways has lately been con
structed from Station 12 to Live Oak Station, on
the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad, (a point 26
miles west of Lake City. Fla.,) a length of 48 1.2
miles, cfwhioh the first 25 1-2 are owned by the
A. A. G. R. R. Co. This connection, which was
completed in January, 1S65, is in running order,
the grading costing about $3,0011 per mile.
Connections with Brunswick, Ga, a port of
entry, Albany, Ga., and Macon, Ga., the railway
centre of the State, are in progress. The first
will join this road at No. 9, ninety-six miles, and
the second at No. 7, sixty-eight miles to Savan
nah. This will make a line from Savannah to
Albany or Macon, via the Atbntio and Gulf R.
R. of about 200 miles in length, and enable tho
company to compete with the Central Railroad,
along ono of the best paying railways in America.
This company escaped direct injury from tho
late military movements until December, 1S64,
wheft 35 1»2 miles near Savannah were torn up by
Gen. Sherman. In June, 1865, the entire road
was restored to tho president and directors and
Georgia Items.
Examination of the Body.
On making a superficial examination ofdeceas-
ed it- was found thit his shirt was torn, and his
coat was iu such a state that it was plain there
had ben a desperate struggle. There was a
wound over the right eye, inflicted by some blunt
instrument probably a slung shot. There were
five or six inoised wounds on the ossific part of
the head, three large wounds on the .back ot the
ueOk, each about three inches in length, and sev
eral abrasions of the skin near foe glottis. There
wele also wounds upon the breast, caused by a
bltfit dagger, and numerous cats made with a
razbr with which he inflicted some wounds upon
assailant, and that inatrnment was only relfo-
auished when it was of no further use. Although
sentries were petrolling in front of the Navy
Yard, distant only ono huadred yards, not a cry
fhr help was beard, and he appears to has* died,
vainly endeavoring to defend himself, rather than
utter on* word for
the work of repairs soon commenced. The road
can be reasonably expected to be in running order
by the 15th of December next. These repairs can
probably be effected without requiring the com
pany to obtain more than five or six miles of new
iron, which amount they have already on hand.
The Alabama Claims—Further Cor-
- . respondence.
A supplement to the London Gezette contains
further additional correspondence between Mr.
Adams and Earl Russell relative to the depar
ture of cruisers for the rebels from England.
Russell reports the argument that the British
government acted upon precedent, and supplies
memoranda showing that steps were tasen to
prevent and punish breaches of neutrality.—
Every representation of the American Minister
was considered immediately and referred, when
necessary, to the law officers without delay.
The London Times says that it is impossible for
the American government to abandon the claims
for the depredations of the Alabama, but it is
quite possible for a government to yield nothing
yet do nothing. We must prepare to be told
that the United States will abate nojot of its de
mands, and will reserve the right of enforcing
them; but still when the temper of the people is
calmed, when commerce has had time to.renew
the links which bind the two nations together,
when the memories ot war fade into the past,
there will be little disposition to dwell on unfor
tunate bat inevitable casualties.
The London Daily News confidently dismisses
the supposition that the Alabama claims can be
come a direct cause of war between the two
countries, but it trusts that something will yet
be done to bring the dispute to an early practical
settlement, tor it is one which can in no other
way be disposed of. It would be an eternal dis
grace it both governments should confess them
selves unable to find any but a violent solution
of their differences, but there is a state of nomi
nal peace which has many of the disadvantages
of war.
The London News further remarks that the
tone in which the Alabama demands have been
(Jiscuased in America since the publication of the
official correspondeoce between Earl Russell and
Mr. Adams is grave, but cannot be said to be on
the whole unsatistactory,
A Cr uel murder.
We deeply regret to learn the death of General
William B- Wade, of Columbns, Mississippi, in a

that point The difficulty, :.s we learn, was start
ed in Main street, near Jones’ drug store. The
parties qere 4°P arateti , General Wade going to
Cady’s livery stable. He was followed up, when
an interchange of shots took place, which result
ed In one of tbe Federals being shot through the
neck and severely wounded. General Made re
ceived two balls and a wound from a knife, in the
handa of his assailant*. They were again separa
ted, and General Wade gave himself np, and was
conveyed to the hospital, his wounds being con
sidered serious, if not mortal.
While lyiog on his cot, unable to nse, with a
guard aronnd him, he was again attacked, shot
and bayonetted until death put an end to the
scene He received eleven wounds, It was a
terrible tragedy. General Wade was a member of
the State Legislature, a General in the Confeder
al* army, and was as brave a spirit as ever went
forth to do battle. We sinoerely regret his death.

Would-ms Assassins.—Some rascals, for
eign to these parts, have been among the re
cent arrivals in our hitherto peaceful city.—
Their presence in our midst renders it dan
gerous for our citizens to be out at night with
out being well-artped, and prepared to defend
themselves in case of being attacked.
Between 8 and 9 o’clock last night, as Col.
Jnlins Tucker was coming up Greene street,
on his way to the store of Day, Russell & Ben
jamin, he met a man near the corner of Cen
tre and Greenp streets, who whistled as he ap
proached, whereupon his accomplice emorged
from under a tree and took a position in front
and within a few feet of the Colonel. Both
were armed with large sticks, one in front and
the other in the rear.
Verily, this was a tight place, but as the
Colonel had been in many a tighter and hotter
place during his life time, when the odd* were
much greater, he determined not to succumb
without giving battle. Although so unexpect
edly surprised, his presence of mind did not
forsake him, and he immediately had recourse
to a little rune de r/uerre• His -only weapon
was a small pocket knife, which he opened
and held in his hand. Turning to the scoun
drel in his rear, ho made a movement as if
about to draw a pistol, and in no very polite
terms said to him : “If you advance or make
the slightest movement, I will blow your brains
out,” The fellow immediately exclaimed: “I
beg your pardon, sir—I took you for another
party,” when the would-be robber in front
moved off the pavement, and both the scoun-
I drels slunk away.
One of the paity was dressed in black clothes,
and the other had on a black coat, light colored
pantaloons and a black hat. They are among
the recent arrivals come here to play the role ol
robbers and assassins, but if this meets their eye,
we assure them they essayed the wrong man last
night, tor if he had been armed, a coroner’s jury
would render a verdict to day over their dead
bodies of justifiable homicide on the part of Col.
Tucker, to which all peaceable and honest men
would s-j, amen.—Augusta ConetitutionalUt,

Robbrbiks—Repreh*nsible Conduct.—Last
evening some person or persons entered the resi
dence of Dr. JoDes, on Broad street, and took aH
the hats from the rack.
Between 9 and 10 o’clock last evening, while
some of our young friends were enjoying them
selves at a social at Mrs. Willis’, on Ellis st,
a theft of a similar nature occurred. The over
coats of Mr. Martin V. Calvin and of Mr.
Frazer Shecut—the latter containing checks
to the amount of $ 100—were stolen from the
hall.
On leaving the house, it was discovered that
the gat# had been besmeared with black paint,
the door knob of Mrs. Ramsay’s residence was
also painted, and a fox squirrel left pendant
from it. Several names were written nn Mrs.
Fargo’s gate, and a clock placed in her portico.
On the door of Mr. Cooper's house on Broad
street, was written “not Coffee,” and unin
telligible hieroglyphics, while from the kneb
were suspended a fox squirrel, and a placard,
on which was written the words “Fresh Sal
mon and Oysters.”—Ibid.
*' Cotton.—There was considerable move
ment in cotton on yesterday and the day be.
fore, and the market was somewhat better than
in the early part of the week. Forty-five cents
were readily obtained for all Good Middling
offered, and a considerable amount is changing
hands at these figures. The river is still in
moderate boating order, but there is not much
going down it at present. The great haste of
shippers to get their boxes afloat on the first
rising of the stream, has cleared the temporary
wharves of their old time vessels. Others,
however, are still being built. There has
probably been a larger amount of cotton
brought to market-from the surrounding coun
try within the past two days than in the same
length of time for over a month. At times
some of the streets in front of warehouses have
been almost completely blockaded by cotton
wagons unloading and waiting to be unloaded.

Printer* “ Gone Home.”
Within the last fortnight or so, four old and
well-known printers of this city have gone to
their final rest.
Anselme Fortier was a French Canadian by
birth, but for many years a resident of this city
He worked always at the Bee office, and was
foreman of the English side of that paper at the
lime of his death. He was a well educated
man, of genial and generous disposition, and
left hosts of friends, but not one enemy behind
him.
D. I). O'Brien was not a practical printer,
but was a printer in the general scuse of the
term. He was a native of Tipperary, Ireland
and 55 years old at his death. Nearly all his
life he was connected with newspaper printing
in some way. Years ago be was osssciated
with Mr. Prendergast in the’publication of the
Orleanian, in the Third District. Since the
beginning of the war he published a Catholic
journal, which was finally suppressed by tho
military authorities. We knew him well, and
a more gentlemanly and generous hearted
Irishman we never had the pleasure of know'
ing. ■■ kr. - s
Robert P. Seifs was a motive of Ohio, and
died on Sunday, after a brief illness, at the age
of 40. He was for a number of years a printer
in this city, and, before the war, was for a long
time a compositor in the Crescent office. He
was manly, genial and generous, and was much
liked by his brethren of the craft, as well as by
all his other acquaintances.
Newton C. Blackburn was a native of Ten
nessee, and died on lsst Monday, at the age of
44 years. His death was caused by a fall from
the portico of the St. Charles hotel some two
weeks previously. The fall broke so many
bones that his recovery was at once pronounced
hopeless, and he lingered along in a state of
indescribable snfleringjantil death at last cable
to his relief. He was *for many years a resi
dent of this city, and for a long time a com
positor In the Crescent office. He possessed in
an eminent degree that reckless generosity and
lively and humorous spirit which is character
istic of printers. He was a brother of Jasper
Blackburn, to long known as editor of the
Minden Herald in this State.
All the above (except Mr. O’Brien, who was
not a practical printer) were put away to their
last rest by their brethren of foe Typographical
Union, in that society’s tomb in Greenwood
Cemetery. \
The write/wu long intimate with all the
above deceased, and all be has to say, is—good
bye, Fortier! good-bye, O'Brien 1 good-bye,
Bob! good-bye, Newt! good-fajye, ajl-r-for

river as soon as practicable.
The Appeal says: During foe history of
Memphis there has never been a time when
the spirit of publie improvement was so mani
fest as at the present On every hand we see
evidences of it, and as an illustration, it is es
timated that there are at least nine hundred
houses in the coarse of*construction at pres
ent. The scarcity of mechanics is sadly felt
In consequence the most extravagant prices are
offered to workmen aDd mechanics as an in
ducement for their labor, while it is almost im
possible for any other contractors to secure
their services at all.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com
pany, a few days ago, it was resolved to aub-
stituto white for negro labor, wherever em
ployed upon that road. This resolution was
the result of the unfortunate experience of the
company in relying upon negro labor, which
has become so uncertain as to be entirely im
practicable. The transition will be as gradual
as the circumstances will permit.
The Baltimore Catholic Mirror says that the
collection taken up in the difiereot Catholic
churches of Maryland, for the relief of Southern
families made destitute by the war, may be said
to be uow complete and to reaeh a sum a little
short of $12,000 Of this amount,we understand
that about $6,000 have already beeu distributed—
principally in Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina,
Florida and Mississippi. In parcelling out the
money, differences of religion have in no instance
been considered/ The applicant had only to
have h e or her necessities properly vouched for
to become a recipient ol the fond.
Tho new bridge about to be suspended over
the Ohio river, at Cincinnati, will be the longest
structure of tho kind in the world, being more
than two thousand feet longer, than over the
Niagara river, and five hundred and forty feet
longer than the Menial bridge, England. Its
total span will be one thousand and fifty seven
feet.
Cork Molasses.—Western journals are once
more talking of manufacturing molasses of corn.
The St. Louis Democrat asserts that from a bush
el of corn three gallons of molasses can be ex
tracted.
i
Macon and Augusta Railroad.
Upon two or throe former occasions, several
weeks since, we endeavored to demonstrate the
great practical benefits to our city, and trade that
would accrno to us from the completion of this
line of road; md wo are glad that a move has
been made by several of our public-rpirited and
enterprising citizens to this end. A meeting will
be held on Tuesday next, at tho City Hall, to take
into consideration the best plan of operation, and
we sincerely trust the enterprise will meet with
that encouragement and substantial support it
demands. The publio is doubtless aware that the
completion of this road will greatly shorten our
line of communication with the seaboard and
afford us such additional faci ities of transporta
tion as will enable Macon to assume her true
comm*, rcial position to Central and Sonthern
Georgia—which eeo ions of the State are natural
ly dependent upon her as a mart; and the wonder
is that onr business community have not long
since taken bold of this enterprise, with energy
necessary to insure success.—Macon Telegraph,
