Tub Japan Tbbaties a Kbaud.—A recent article in the official gazette of'in N» thur u ids, in which it ia inti male 1 tnat the treati es recent ly signed by the Japanese government with the American an British commissioners are frauds, is Croat ng con siderahle excitement. Trade is no moro permit ed than before. No one U allowed to trade but the imperial agents, who again will only sell provi aiona. All communication with the interior is prohibited, and, in fro‘, both nvions are precisely where they were. It appears from the Dutch atatemont- that all those deceptions woro suggested by tho Hague; that u Dutch official, specially so looted, wan sent to Japan, and that he has since acted as a kind of foreign secretary to tho imp jr a government. Those facts are, indeed, admitted by the King himself, whose notes on tho treaty have been published, and they appour to deserve, if not chastisement, at least attention. Tie Dutch in tho Kaat are j minus in the oxtremoof Anglo-Saxon influfii je, and by no means scrupulous in their endeavors to undermine it.

A out 2 o’clock M a.- morning, the Widow Wakcman (the prophe es ) she beard & no »e in the room below. Sie occupies a small room in the attic of the houao. The house is a common story and a half hou«e, wiib thin partitions, and a 1 noise in the lower kmy could be easily hoard in the rooms above. The widow says that she told B y Keeler, w v *.*n sbehefcrd tbe noif'e, t r at she to ught ‘‘a 1 ! was not right below.” Although Widow Wakeman affirms that she tb jogh’ “all we i t rigl : below” at 2 o’clock m the morning, no effort was ma le by her to aacer ta n anything c .nceruing the supposed trouble. About 2 o’tl xk ye-tcr a (M mdsy) morning, a y, mng son oi Jon MM w- «.ega.. to -earcb for hi t »tner, wondering why he had not made his ap, aranco at so late no hoar in the morning He we r tto 'ho door of one of the front rooms and found it 1- eked, bit per.-i»ted in breaking open the dor,r.

When first discovered theb>dy lay upon tbe floor, with the l oad towards a bed in the room, a- • i t wa- :oui.d with the tmm turned towards the wi idow, lying upon the loft side, and lay very nearly in the middle of the room. Clotte 1 blood an 1 hair lay noon the floor around him, and seve ia; pools of blood were found near his head. It wa truly an awfoi scene to w'tnei-H. The throat wu- cut nearly from ear to ear, and hm head seem e i t<> nearly severed from his body. It is evi ■ I . ■ that • >oo kid not have committed lbs deed -<* wound. They were dcub le-.- made by a hatchet, or some instrument heavier and more powerful than n knife or razor. A • 1 1 pews tom lon the floor, sod marks of a rope wore discovered on his wrists, and it , wsr evident that the wrists had been bound by this rope. The large wound upon the neck wa- of such a nature that it wus impossible for him to make the wound himself. My own impress : on is that the wuund not inflicted by himself. The wounds wore doobtle-s made bv a largo or heavy knife.— The maido ot the fore-flower was cut off, (from the hand) which piece found on the floor near him. A post mortem examination wa-. hold at two 0’..1 ck yrsterday af.eri;oon. The body was ex amined and the wound- probed and cleansed by Dr.-. Knight, Jewett and Dagget. While the peat mortem examination was being I ed, sod also throughout the day, crowds of pao (l > assamble lin front of the house to learn the a »s in i particulars concerning the murder; but • i obi, “however, were admitted into the house.

Tbe following persons wore arrested during the alter noon and lodged in jail, charged withcommit ting or in Rome way bob g access ry to the crime : Israel Wooding, Almeron Bunfor-l and wife, Abi g >s, Thankful 8. H rsey, tbe widow Wake man, (t c pr< pheless) Samuel J3l>, and a colored m u named Josiah Jackson. At the coroner’s inquest nearly a’l the persons belonging to the society ol 44 Wakemanites,” wero ex trained. Almeron 8 tnford, oi o of tbe most prominent* in his testimony, raid : I wo it to the houi-e of Mr. Sly with my wife about dark, on Bun«itoy evening—got to the house about two hours bfrer we started.

About 11 o’clook Mutthews Oiine to the house, ti idow Wakeman said she wat bunte i by Matthews—the “man of power” with an evil spirit. When Matthews carno ic went into the front room, where there was a i, . Bh •la : k man wanted Mu’thews to come to the mooting, so I went to b io him, and he teem od villirg to co ne. When hi came my wife tied u handkerchief over his fore toad, and they tied his I and behind him, the sumo us they would the devil. 1 told him ho had u bud spirit, and ho wanted to give it up. Jacks >n and Woodiug wero with him, a id he talked with him about the ov lspir ’. Widow Wakeman said ho was draw ing a t rriblo power over her. Mr. Wooding told Matthew < tha: he ought to be killed, and Matthews sai l ho was willing to die to quench the evil »j irit. Wooding and Jackson Bard Mathews must bo put du .ot mu wav.

Whetil reached the door, I found it fatt ened and something braced against it inside. I could not get into tho room below. This occurred s,l ut 12 o’clock, and 1 left tho house twenty mi uos pa-t four. 1 waked home to Hamden, ah ut 6 miles, last night. I have not changed my ciothe- since the murder.

Alt r l hoard tho no -e and crus below, Biy oame | running up stairs and kneeled down and seemed to bo j raying.* I thought ho oould not pray much, for l thought he would not fool like it then. They believed that if widow Wakeman prophetess) should die tho world would be destroyed. 1 should think that, from appoarance, he did kill himself. It they (Woo ling and Sly) killed Mutthews it was to keep hi from eucbanl in< wide v Wake riau, who was disturbed by his evil spirit. . .... A colored member of tho society named Josiah Jackson, it?'tie ito his belief that tho widow Wakoman was a prophetess, and had risen from U o do id for the purpose of teaohing people tho wav to Her von. Samuel Sly, one oi tho association, has sinee confessed to being tho murderer of the deluded victim ; and gives as a reason the fact tl at ho evil sp rt of Matthews tormented hia sister, Mrs. Wakeman, the founder of tho “Wakomani es.” The Courier gives tho substance" of Sly’s oon (ession: Sly opened by admitting that he r aud he alone, aommitted the murder, on ough be'ore he closed his s fttement to related eircumstancea which tended to implicate Jackson, tho negro, and Miss Hersoy as being accessories : He says that his sister, Mrs. Wakeman, was so distressed with tho bad spirit or pvwer in Mat thews, that he thought something must be dote to remove it, and he consulted with Jackson in regard to using a suck •; hrralwood on Muttl aws to eea what effect it would have upon him. He had procured a stick ol that woods few sys pre vious, in anticipation that it might be necessary to use it for tho purpose—as ho thought the bark of baiol, in connection with alder, conoreted to gether into a tea, wai powerful to rotnovo eu (.hantmentH. This stick, which was about an inch in diameter and two and a half feet in length, he had placed in a dravior in the cellar, at.d when ho s| ofce to Jacks hi about using it, J irq irod where ho kept it. Sly Informed him. and went and brought it into tho lower rear room whore Jackson and the woman Horsey wore, and they know-when he wont iuto Matthews’ r om wi»h it. Whin Mr. and Mrs Sand ford went upatairs, preparatory to taking Matthews away, fc>ly went m o the front room to atthews, and t-fter lock ng he do; rs, struck the deceased, who waa sitting in a chair t uded, over the righ temp c, with such t force as t • bring him to the floor, ai d then struck ( him several limes with the e!ub. Ha then look his pocket kniio, which is some two inches in { leugth, and commenced cuttiug Matthews’ throat. Matthews groaned, bu. did not user a word after the first blow. Sly also lock a table fork, with ( which and tho kmfo ho inutila'fid th body in the ( manner it which it was discovered. } The New Haven Journal and Courier gives the following additional evidence taken betoro the ] Coroner’s Jury : < While giving the account of the whole alia r, i Sly seemed desirous of tailing t e truth without hesitation. He kept the Bible in his hand all the time, and frequently said during the confession, he narrated the facts “in the soar cf the * L rd.

In Jassy we met with our three fri nd * who had come on a few weeks before us. Here wo passed our time very agreeably with the hospi tab.e Moldavians, and, as Americans, were a ape cie.i of animal they had read of but never seen ; we passed, and people st Ted. We were soon or dered to Kincliinelf, the capitoi of Bessarabia. Here wo were only a short time, when the news of the descent in the Crimea reached us, and we were ordered to Odessa to take care of some of the wounded of the battle of Aim-, Drought over by ri»c English. Here we first taw tne “elephant,” an 1 we have been seeing him over since. I received orders on the 15th of November to lOt.v-5 Odessa and go to Shimpherpol. A a ranger in a -trange land ; 1 had to ieave my friend- and enter alone the c'dd bare Steppe*. After six days’ journey, *hich I shall never forget, at least or a cola rrosty morning. I reached Simphorophol, ja-t after the battle of lnkermann. Here there wore bnt few surgeons, and many wounded. My chief handed me the knife and told me to go lo w- rk, and for two weiks you would have mista ken your home s ck nephew for a jockey butcher in !e*d of a sympathizing M. D. I had & most trying donut. I over worked myself and fell h ck oi & fever ; upon my recovery I was appoint ed chief rs a hospital. I had charge of a perfect pest house; in f»ct, &!1 tho hospita s wore in a most deplorable condition. Small rooms, cloaely shut to kerp out tho intense c<»ld, containers, gangre nous and suppurating wounds, diarrhoeas and fever soon produced a new enemy, and for a while bomb", balls and rockets were play things in com parison with tbe terrible Typhus, which so mer cilo:-sly decimated my comrades and col eagues. My dear friends Drs. King, ot Charleston, and Draper, ol New York, 1 ai fell martyrs to it, and up to the time I was attacked twenty-fi r ‘e surgeons had died Os it, in the Crimea. 1 will not attempt t give yo • a history of my illness—too painful to be remembered. 1 owe my life to kind friends who nursed me. My health not being good, I was advanced, by lavoi, acd attached as operator to tho head quarters of the army b fore Eupatoria, under Gen. Schabo’ski. The old g moral received me very kindiy. I dined with him evory day at his tar le, and with his good fare and the fresh aja brerz), 1 improved rapidly. Alter a stay of two months before Eupatoria, the cholera made it* appears ice, and having suffered from an attack of it, l was obliged to quit service and trout myself seriously. I found an asylum in tho house of our kind uod exce lout Mother, Grootleu, a German lady living in the Mountains, flitoen mi.es from Simpberopol; with her mater nal cure, I rapidly improvod in health, and enjoyed myself vory much with the h ispiv&bie inhabitants of the Southern eoas of the Crimea. I was on a vibit to the seashore when the roar of the cannon on tho Tchercaya came booming over the Moun tains, and told me that 1 should be there. 1 tore m } self from my pleasant companions, aud imme diatoly set out tor Sebastopol. I offered my servi eo. j , and was accepted and appointed as operator to a hospital called the Barracks, situated on the North side of the bay. Then I had my hands fu’l, and in two weeks performed a great many capital operations. On th sth September, I was aroused very early in the morning by a very heavy cannonading, wli.ch continued, with Bonn intermission, till the rnori ingot the Bth, when 1 was again aroused by one of the heaviest Hflres I ever heard. My house shook to its foundation, as if by a terrible earth quale. 1 had a most commandirg view cf the wi ole affair.

At night the calm was now and tboa broken by an occasional shot, or (*me tre inendous explosion. 1 awoke the next morning to ait ness a most melancholly spectacle. A deadly ailonce reigned—the noblo men of war vessels that 1 a floated in majestic defiance ths day before, ni>tv lay hiding their hal'a in shame beneath the waves, and str. tolling their bare arm-* as if in sap pl cation to an avenging God. Ihe beautiful Fort Paul lay scattered in a mil lim of atoms, while tbe m.gnty Nicholas stood like a Launtod Lion, grimly contemning his foes. An impenetrable smoke hung ever the once beau tiful city ol Sobastop'l. The hills and vu leys wuro covered with tho flying and distracted iuhab if:u s. ihe wounded soldieis dragging their gory bod : 08 in search of succor; scenes enough to make ihs stout heart bleed.

Inttan War Inevitable. Tha following “official information,” was receiv ed at Hoar Quarters of the troops in Florida, abi.at o’clock, last night. The intelligence was brought from Fort Myers, by tho U. S. steamer Ranger. Ti e Ranger left Fort Myers, on the morning of the 22d inst. Fort Bmoogt, (Fla ) Dec. 28, 1855.—An explor ing party under command of L’. George L. Hait snfT 2d Artillery, consisting of one Sergeant, one Corporal and seven privates, were suddenly at tacked by a party of Seminole Indians, at day light on the 20th test., about 16 mile* S. E. from Fort Simon Dram—tha’ party being about 40 miles S. E. from Fort Myers. The party left Fort Myeia on morning ot the 7ih instant, and np to the time of attack wore en gaged in making a re exam uation Os that portion of tho Big Cypress Swamp examined by the troops last winter. Three men of the command arrived at Fort Myers on'the night of the 21st; it is snp poaed that Lieut. Hartsutl and the remainder ot hia party have been killed. Most of the public animals with tne expedition, some eighteen in number, were aso shot down. Lieut, liartsuff, when last seen had one arm bro kon, and is supposed to have been wounded ia his side. Private Hanna, of Company G., 2d Ar tillery, one of the party, who escaped, brought the above information to Fort Myers. Hanna w»s wounded in the abdomen, not seriously it is thought; be left anothor of the party, private Biker, also wounded, about 18 miles from Fort Myers. Baker gave out at that point aud could come no farther. The Indians making the attack wore some twenty five or thirty in numbers. Two companies of the 2d Artillery, were to ’oavo Fort My«rs on tha morning of the 2d inat., in se *rch of Lieut liartsuff and missing members of his party. Other movements of the troops in the direction of the b ttle ground, were ordered immediately on the receipt of the information concerning the attack.

Okioin ox tux Aldkn Family. —Mrs. Rose Stxnuish, consort of Captain Stendish, departed this life on the 29th of January, 1621. This cir cumstance is mentioned as an intioduction to tho to wi:-g anecdote, which has baeu carefully hand d down lo as by tradition : I n viry .-lion time after the Stan :sh, ti e captain ww led to think that, if he coal tain Miss Priscilla Mullins, a daaghter of Mr. Wm. M .llins, thofcbreach in his family would ba happily repaired. He therefore, according to the custom of those times, sent to ask Mr. Mullins’ pe.mission to visit his daughter. John Alden. the messenger, went and faithfully communicated the wishes ot the captain. The old gentleman did not object, as he might have done, on aoconnt of the recency of Captain Standish’s berea' ement. He said it was perfectly agreeable to him, bat the young lady must also be consulted. The damsel was accor iingly called into the room, and John Ald6n, who ia said to have been a young man of most excellent form, with a fair and ruddy oom . plexioo, arose, and in a very courteous and pre possessing "manner, delivered his errand. M:?s Mul in.- i&tened with respectful attention, and at last, after a conai terable pause, fixing her eyes upon him, with an open countenance, said. ■'PrUAse, jok *, *ohy do you not epeak for yovreeiff'- The young man clashed, bowed, and took his. leave, but wiih a look which indicated more than hi< diffidence would permit him otherwise to ex pre s. However, he soon renewed his visit, and it wa not lorg before their nuptials were cele brates! in ams le form. From this couple were descended all of the name cf Alden iu the Unite! Sta es. What report he made to hia constituent a ter the first interview, tradition does not unfold; bat, it is said, how true the writer knows not, that the captain never, to the day ot hia death, forgave him. Tmx Miato.t or CoNaxBVATLeM.—The Alexandria Gazette justly remarks that for “a long lime the Democratic presses, for the most part, were in the habit of denouncing and ridiculing Conservatism ; affirming that it was the very antipodes of Demo cracy, and, therefore, to be especially placed un der the party ban. This feeling was never so prevalent at the JSouth, as it was at the North; but still to a greater or less degree it pervaded the while Democratic party. The events of the last tew years have shown how erroneous have been the teachings cf the leaders on this subject. It is now aumitted tha Conservatism is a very good thing—indeed, quite a necessary thing, in the working of oar political machine. If it were not for the course of the conservative men, and the inculcation ol conservative doctrines, we hardly know where we should have been harried in this year of grace. In truth, will be, a conservative party in this country op posed to the plans and designs of ultra Democra cy—and men must make their choice. Conserva tism is no more opposed to the progress of the oountry, than the crossties ol a railroad are to the running of a locomotive. It just kee; s the politi cal rails in the right place, and prevents mischief. It opposes unw.se and undae “expansion”—it sets itaeii up against flnbasterism and forays—it holds on to the good we have, ratner than, by doubtlul experiment, to catch something sappos ed to be better—it loves to walk in the oid ways, because it has not seen no clearer or ameother read than that marked oat by oar lathers—and it cordially con lessee that i; does not think the Con stitnt ; on cn be improved upon, or alt'red, either by construction or olh rr*e, to any advantage.— Th a s the Go serva ism • f Waehii gton, and the Washington acnool oi and this is the Ipo cy which will do mote t* an anj other to pre »erv aud.| erpe.uuie our Union aud oar luatita uous ’ , Sir John FitaUff , About thiee m ie« north of Yarmouth, Extend, id a small village named Caistor.

Four wls e-c oye a Ix'g 3 space of ground, bat everything is decayed aid in ruins, tbougn e jough is left to give the spectator an idea of its former grandeur. Here is what was a moat, but cow a dry ditch, choked up with mud tnd weeds ; and there is a massive gate acd the remains of a drawbridge. Part of a chapel is visible, where, in times past, priests with rich ve»tments sung the solemn mass, and instructed the devout Christians wbo were assembled, in the way to everlasting life. But priests and auditors, nay, the chapel itself are gene, and nought re mains but the crumbling atones, which mutely tell their tale. The cast’e was built by no lass a personage than Sir John Falateff— honest Jack FalsUff ! Yet the bravo knight bore a character far different from that portrayed by the immortal dramatist. Sir John was no bully, no boister, no ignorant boor. England ia indeoied to him for counsel and assis tance in times of danger, and ought not entirely to terget the exploits of so brave and loyal a sub ject. Old Fuller tells us that bbakespeare at first in troduced Bir John Oldcast'e upon the stage; but that being resented oa account of the high religi ons charade' of the knight, he gave his idea' crea tion a new name, being that of another personage of the period, whose real character was scarcely lets different. Sir John Falstaff, or, more correctly, Fastolfe, wt s the se n of John Fastolfe, a mariner, and came into the world about 1879. He was soon left father ess, and according to the custom of the feu dal times, was placed under the guardianship of Jonn Duke of Bedford, the regent of France. He afterw rds accompanied to Ireland Thomas Duke of Clarence, on his appointment to the Governor ship of that country. Wh Ist there, we presume, he fell in love ; for on Bt. Hilary’s day, 1409, he married Mill ice nt, daughter of Sir Robert Tiptoft, the wi low of Sir Stephen Scroope, whom, on his wedding dav, he contracted to give £IOO per au nnm lor pin money. This sum wus regularly paid until her death, which took place during her bus bar d’s lifetime. The vice regent’s court appears not to have suited the tastes of Falstaff, who was more addic t°.d to fighting than lounging about in idleness. He soon, therefore, assumed another character, and having buckled on his armor proceeded to France where abundance of ’glory was to be obtained. There his bravery soon made him known. In the accounts of most of the engagements of t iat period Falstaff’s name occurs in the list of combatants. In Normandy, Gascony, Guienne, Anjou and Maine, hi arm helped to sustain the British power. When Harfleur was taken in 1414, ho was made lieutenant of the place, and shortly after received the homor of nighthood. At Agincourt he took a noble prisoner—no less a personage the Duke of Alencoo. He was in the midst of the strife at the taking of Rouen, Caen, Falaise, and Suez, and stormed fortresses and castles— amongst others, the castle of Sille le Guillaume, for the capture of which he was rewarded by the title of Baron in France. Among other honors poured upon him, he wa elected a Knig it of the Garter. At his election there were an equal number of votes for our knight and Sir John Radcl ffe, wheieupon the Duke of Bedford gave the casting vote in favor of Falstaff, and sent him a letter abounding with expressions of praise. Now, Monslrelet, in his Chronicle states that Falstaff was degraded, from the order on ac count of his dastardly conduct at the battle of Patay, where he and his followers, being struck with terror at the appearance of tin mysterious Joan of Arc, tcok to their heels and leftthe French army in possession of the field. This tale, unsup ported by other testimony, is utterly false ; for although it is a fact that Sir John was put to flight at Patay, the tale of his being degraded from the Order of the Garter is proved untrue by the cir cumstanca of hi * regular attendance at the chapters of the Order long alter the period at which his degradation is stated to have taken place. Shak speare, however, did not fo*get this story; witness the first part es “Henry VI,” where Lord Talbot says: “Shame on the Duke of Burgundy and thee ! I vowed, base kc ight, wren I did meet thee next, To tear the g%rter from thy craven leg, {pluoking it off,) Whioh I have dene, because unworthily Thou waat installed in that high degree.” The crowing exploit of Sir John was his brave conduct at the bailie of the Herrings; and how could a Yarmouth man fail to conquer in such a battle? With a small band of Englishmen, be routed a numerous French army, commanded by “ie jeune et beau Dunois” himself. The battle got its name from the circumst» nco of our knight muking a kind of fortification with his wagons, which were for the most part full of herrings ; for, besides the army ceing led by a Yarmouth man, the season was Lent, audthe?c two circumstances c >mbined show the reason of his carrying so large a quantity of that unall but excellent fish. The year following the affair at Patay found Sir John lieutenant of Caen ; and he was sent in 1482 as # an ambassndoi to the Council of Basel, where he seems to have fulti.led his duty satisfactorily, for he was afterwards sent to conclude a peace with France. A few years after this event, the good old knight retired from ee vice, with glory and renown ; he turned his steps towards his native place, and building a castle at Caistor, there spent the remainder of his life. He died in 1469, and was buried at tie priory of Broomholm. His resting place while dead, and his habitation while living, have bowed .bafora the stroke of time, and nothing now remains but u few mould eriug, ciumbling walls. A few jears more and all will be gone. In his retirement, Sir John was not oblivious or the advAUlnfCCB ol learning. lu that uga, little encouragement was given to literature ; but to that lit le he contributed a par.. The translation of Tully do Sjnectute was mad: by his order, and printed in 1481, by the father of English priming. To Oxford he was a bountiful benefactor, nor was he forgetful of the sister university of Cam bridge. He was intent in his old age upon founding a college for seven priests and the same number of pior men ; but unexpected diflicu ties arrested its progress, and death proved an irresistible obstacle to its completion. Such wzb the Falstaff' of fait, a soldier of cour age and conduct, and altogether, for his age, a worthy and respectable'character. It will always probably remain a mys’ery how Shakespeare should have thought of adopting tor his extraordinary personation and sensuality, cowardice and drollery, the name, first, of a virtuous martyr, and second ly, of a thoroughly.noble soldier. So it was, how ever ; and never, while the English lauguage endures, shall we cease to recoguile in the word Falstaff, instead of a name of honor and dignity, a signal for raising mirth. Hxumb, Albuy and UuM Railroad—More Iron. Progress or tbe Work. The bark J. Bryant, from Cardiff, Wales, brings 691 tons of iron for the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad. This is the seoond cargo which has arrived for this Road, and makes, with that already reoeived, about thirteen hundred tons. Arrangements are making by Messrs. Van Hern <fc Co., the cojtrac’ors, to commence the work of track laying from the depot in this city on the 7th ol next month. Their contract is for sixteen miles, (across the G eat Ogeochee) which they expect to have completed by the Ist of next June. As regards thd work of grading and bridging on the whole route from Savannah to the West bank of the Altamaha, the public will be glad to learn that it is in a Slate of gratifying forwardness.— As is known to those familiar with th ■ country traversed, a oonsidorabio portion of it is of a low, swampy character, to say nothing of the three rivers to be bridged. The dry weather and low water sf the year now closing, have greatly facili tated the operations of the contractors. The bridges across both tho Ogoochees, (that across the Groat Ogeecbee a work of much magnitude,) are completed, with the exception of the drawers. That across the Altamaha, in the hands of Messrs. Holcombe and Mill* n, is so tar advanced that tho regular work of its constructiou is beyond the contingency of high water. The aame is true of all the operations of grading and tressoling be tween Savannah and that river. It is manifest then that this great enterprise, moving quietly onward, has reached a point in its progress where it may be safely said that much has been achieved. Bor there iB now no reason to doubt but that all the contracts which have been lot, may be performed as specified—and the cars be runningto the western latamaha, early in tho year 1867. That point gained, 'he most difficult poition of the work will have been ac complished. From the Alatamaha down to the Florida lino, to the proposed point of junc ion with the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad, the way is easy. For their p irt, our Florida friends are going to work under the most encouraging auspices. From Tallahassee, (already connected by Railroad with the Gulf,) they commence soon to operate east ward. They expect to be able (according to the intelligence which wo have already published) to offer us a connection not only with Middle, but East and South Florida, (to Cedar Keys,) in a little more than two years from this date. Such being tho posture of affairs at both ends of the route frem this to the Gulf of Mexico, we hope very soon to hear that some contracts have bfcm lot by the Savannah Com| auy beyond, the Atama ha River. The fact that the read is likely to pay very small dividends until the connection is made with the Gulf, and, as we believe, very large ones so soon os that connection is accomplished, should determine the directory to press forward to that grand consummation with all feasible dispa'cfc. [Savantiah Courier. He says he did not des'gu to use any other wea pon than the bludgeon, but after he had given the blows was urged on by some influence to nee the knife and fork. After the murder, he remained locked in the room a half hour, when he came out into Miss Hersey’s room, where she was, with a bloody stick and a light in his hand. His hands and shirt sleeves were bloody and she procured a basin of water to wash himself, and they convers ed about secreting the stick, and he then placed it down in the cellar. His shirt sleeves were then torn off, and the bloody pieces burned in Miss Heresy's stove —she being present. He afterwards took the club used and cut it into pieces and threw them into the privy vault, where he aleo put the knife. He took up some blood from the floor, and carried it away. He then went up stairs, where the gathering was, and engaged in prayer. This is the substance of his statement. After Sly’s confession he was remanded to pri son, and Mrs. Wakeman was taken to the jury room, and gave a description of her visit to the" spirit world, eome thirty years sinoe, at which time, she says, she was murdered by her husband, and remained dead seven hours, during which time she made the heavenly journey, seeing the Saviour, all the prophets, apostles, martyrs and saints, and having a realizing view of the home of the blessed, after - hich she was sent back to earth on her mission. She states that she is 70 years of age, tod ha- been the mother of fifteen children, nine of whom are still living. Her brother, Sly, is 50 years of age. Pabxeu H.

What these charges are, is explain ed by the fret that on the 80th January last, Gen. Shields, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported to the Senate a bill for the relief of Lieut. Benton, and Majors Babbitt and The officers were stationed at San Antonio, Texas, in 1860, and to them Parker H. French, then chief ol an emigrant party, presented a letter of credit from Howland and Aspinwali, of New Tork. In accordance with regulations oftne War Department permitting supplies to be sold tojemigranis, the offi cers furnished French with stores of different kinds, amounting to nearly $2,000, receiving in pay several drafts on How and and Aspinwali, These drafts, on presentation, were protested, and it was then found that the letter of credit, above mentioned, was a forgery. Several mer chants in Ban Antonio were (says Gen. Shields) st the same time imposed upon by the same Mr. French.
