A Very Singular Tragedy in Rochester,
N. Y.—Late last night a singular and lament
able tragedy was performed in south St. Panl

ing particulars : A beautiful. an<l.accqnipliHh-
ed young lady, AJiss Emma W , a strang
er, temporarily lodging at the Osburn House,
disguised herself in male apparel and pro
ceeded to No. 27 spathtSL Paul street, where
several of her friends including her uncle and
mother, were passing 1 the evening, whom she
at first accosted in a friendly manner and
conversed with pleasantly enough; though
rather expiteffijF, far an-hour or two. She is
said to be a person of singularly romantic and
.Af. a- * ’aJ 1
erratic disposition, and her freak of-donning
man’s attire, therefore, attracted little atten
tion, and created no surprise. ,In the course
of the evening, however, she suddenly be
came insane, and drawing a knife attacked
and fatally stabbed an old gentleman who en
deavored to curb her eccentricities, and then
rushing upon her uncle, whose name was
King; killed him with a single blow of her
weapon. Before the horrified spectators

the infuriated lunatic she swallowed

FDORIRa" ITEMS.
The jail at Ocala was discovered to be on
fire on Sunday night The citizens were
alarmed by the .cries, of the inmates .who
were chained to the floor, and who were
nearly suffocated with smoke before theiy
could be -resdiuid. The door was-partially
broken open with an axe and the prisoners
released, after which the fire wtm extinguish
ed. - The Banner, says as the-prisoners rushed
from the jail they fell to the ground nearly
dead from suffocation.
A negro man by the name of Richard Sams,
living near Ocala, was murdered on Wednes
day night The-■ Bunotr says a party rode np
to Sams’ house and aaked him if he wonld
“direct them the way to Ocala.'* He came
out of hiB house to comply with their wishes,
and when he had proceeded bnt a"short dis
tance, they put a pistol to his head, fired, and
killed him on the spot; they-then caught his
horse, which was grazing in a potato-patch
near by, and made their escap^. As firing
was no u’nasnal thing, the inmates of the
house, thought nothing of it, bnt finally be*
coming alarmed at bis. continued absence,
they went in search of him, and found him
bnt a short distance from the house, cold in
death.
A negro by the name of John Hogan has
been arrested, who confesses that he murder
ed Sams.
From the Banner we also learn that three
negroes were convicted of murder, at the
recent session of the Circuit Court for Ala*
chna county, and were sentenced to be hung.
We take the following items from the Tal
lahassee Sentinel:
An election has been ordered to take place
on the 4th of January, for a Mayor and eight
Aldermen" of Tallahassee, a City Clerk and
Treasurer, an Assessor of Taxes, and a City
Marshal, who is to be ex-officio Collector of
Taxes. For this election a special registration
is ordered. -
Murderers Brought to Marianna. — A
couple of white men, named Ephraim Davis
and John-Harris, charged with murder, have
just been delivered by Sheriff Butler, of Snhta
Rosa county, to Sheriff King, of Jackson
county, to be confined in jail at Marianna.
They are charged with the murder'of Calvin
Harris, a half-blood brother to John Harris,
who is . in jail,, on the night of November
11th, at Milton, Santa Rosa county. The
C risoners were arrested by Sheriff Batter, and
rought to Jackson on account of the want of
a proper plaice of confinement ini Santa Rosa
county.
Low Rates to Savannah.—We have had
complaints made to ns that the Atlantic &
Gulf Railroad curry freight to Savannah from
Western Florida so much cheaper than onr
own railroads that trade is being driven away
from Florida towns to those of Georgia on
the railroad named. Savannah is certainly
making big bids for business this year by of
fering low prices and almost every other in
ducement. In the long ran that policy pays.
Visitors Coming Hebe.—It was stated at
the meeting of the Agricultural Association
on Wednesday, that a party of gentlemen
from the interior of New York State are to be
here next week to look at the country, with a
view to settling somewhere in the State. They
are traveling through the-State for that -pur
pose.
Profitable Orange Crop. — The orange
crop belonging to Mr: Arthur Ginn, member
of the Legislature, residing at Melonville,
near Enterprise, in this State,, has been sold
for $4,000, (crop of 200,000, at S30 per 1,000
delivered at the orchard this winter): Mr.
Ginn also has a fariu besides this orchard. so
tliat he will realize a very comfortable result
from his labors this year. |
Grapes and Wine.—Not quite a quarter of
an acre in Gadsden county realized in wine
this year, from, the Scuppernong grape, in
the proportion qf 2,200 gallons to the acre.
Can any one beat that? Guess not.

Exit Blodgett.
Between three and four o’clock on the.af-
fernoon of the election, when it had became
apparent that the Democracy had swept the
whole city Kke a tornado, the “little pequr-
er" vacated his comfortable quarters in the
City Hall and left for parts unknown.
We learn that he made his departure
through the' back gate of the City Hall yard,
where a close carriage, previously provided,
was in waiting, and, in which, securely hid
from view, he left for Hamburg, where he in •
toreepted and took the four o’clock down
Charleston train from this place. Whylie
preferred *o take passage, from Hamburg
rather than from-the-regnlar passenger depot
in the city we leave ourJeadere to gness.
Before leaving, he addressed a note to
Jnclge Sneed, qf the City Court, in which the
B iSm-maiion that
carried by intimidation, bribery and fraud,
and that he was not willing to participate in
the inauguration of. officers who had plqcufed
their election by such corrupt appliances
that if the Jndge was willing, he mi

well imagine the torture hi® P.U ro ft ud honest
feelings experienced even ,6V the thouM of
bribery ana corroption! If .any mananonld
be heartily sick of these things it surely onglit
to be the “little perjurer.”
We learn that he was engaged for some
hours previous, to leaving, with the assistance
of one William Doyle, in fixing up a bundle
of untruthful affidavits made by bad negroes,
who complained that they had been qriyen
from the polls in the sfvarftl Wards, and: par
ticularly in ths Fourth, where they complain
ed that the colored men were not allowed to
vote. These affidavits he has- taken with
him, it is said, to Washington, where it is
presumed he' has gone, as his tranks wore
seen the morning after he left in the Express
office marked “Willard’s Hotel, Washington
City.” HiB object is, by these affidavits, to
show the Radical Congress that it is still un
safe to permit Georgia to take her place in
the Union of States—that sha must be re
mitted to a military despotism,_ with Bullock
‘and himself as leading provisional officers.
Whether he will succeed or not we do pot
know—it is enough for the present that we
have got rid of hi9 presence and corrupting
influence.—Augusta Chronicle.

encamped six miles below Block Kettle’s
camp. About 890 or 900 animals captured
were shot; the balance kept for military pur
poses. The highest credit is due General
Custer and his command. They started in a
furious storm, and traveled all the while in
snow about 12 inches deep. Black Kettle’s

prisoners. It was Black Kettle’s band who
committed the first depredation on the Saline

Cuts Her
A • Prisoner Under Arre*t
Throat*
Mrs. Mary A. Gatewood, a southern lady,
committed suicide yesterday morning, at No.
44 South Washington square, New York,
while under arrest for larceny. It appears
that some days ago Mrs. Barney Williams left
a cloak with Mrs. Eaton, of 37 Bleeker street,
to be trimmed with guipure lace, four yards
of which, valued at $32, was also left by Mrs.
Williams to trim the,cloak with. The next
day Mrs. Gatewood" called on Mrs. Eaton
about a dress that was being made for her,
and was left alone for a little while in the
room. Soon after she had left the lace was
missed, and was finally traced to her posses
sion. Detectives- Irving-and Vaughan, ^of the
Central Department, were placed in.charge of
the-case, and proceeded .to No. 44 South
Washington square, where the lady hoarded,
and arrested her. She seemed much excited
when placed under arrest, but mnde no denial
of her gnilt. Before leaving the house, in
company with the officers, she stated that she
felt nnwell, and begged perinission to go to
the water-closet. Her request was acceded
to ; whilo there the detectives heard a gurg
ling sound, accompanied with violent gasp-
iugs, proceeding from the place. . . . ,
Becoming alarmed, they broke open the
door nnd discovered that the illness was feign
ed, and while in the water closet Mrs. Gate-
wood, had .cut her throat with a razor, which
she had evidently concealed about her per
son, inflicting a fearful wound, from which
blond w’as flowing profusely. A physician
was summoned, bnt his services were of no
avail, as she died in a few minutes.
This lady has had Asad history. She is a
native of St. Louis and related to some of the
mOst respectable families in that city and
New Orleans, A few yearn ; ago her husband
died, leaving her and a son in indigent cir
cumstances. Since then she lias been in
constant reception of remittances. from a
weiilfhy aunt in New Orleans aiid a nephew
in' Baris, Since the loss of her child she has
been a victim of kleptomania, and. was once
arrested for petty theft, bnt as her history
and misfortune were known at police head
quarters she has never been prosecuted. A
year ago she was for a short period in the
rhilodelphia Insane Asylum, hut recovered
and has since resided in this city. Letters
are on file at the Central Office from her
friends detailing her unfortunate mania for
appropriating Other person’s property and re
questing jhe police officials to look after her
welfare. She is represented to have been a
woman, of fine personal appearance and Rome
literary .talftat. (_Hejri aget.was about forty
^reara.
Mrs. Eaton knew nothing of the woman's
history, and is overcome by sorrow at the re
sult of her efforts to recover-her property.

ConflscatlQw—^-Important Deelelon or
Cllirr Justice Chase.
Chief Justice Chase, dining the present
-term of the Circuit Court at- Richmond, has
delivered an important opinion in a case of
confiscation of real estate under the act of
July 7, 1862. The oaae of Sample vs. The
United States was brdnght up from -the Dis
trict Court on a writ of error. The judgment -
was originally entered by default. The pointa
made were that the confiscation act was un
constitutional, and that the suit below was in
ndmiralty when it should have been common
law.
The Chief Justice overruled both points,
and affirmed the decision'of the court below.
He said that several coses arising under this
act, and that of 1862 of like tenor, have been
considered by the Supreme Court, and as the
point was not raised, it was a lair conclusion
that neither at the bar or npon the henoh was
the constitutionality of the aet doubted unless
withopf observation in the Supreme Court;
that he wqs Here bonnd by the action of that
Court; and that he should hold for the pres-
qqt that the act is wainanted by the Consti
tution- W should, however, be gratified if
the question was again submitted to the Su
preme.Court and adjudged upon the direct
argnment and consideration. With r—”
the second point he held that it was
stant practice to render a judgment Pi v

induce!, through the advice of friends, upon
whose judgment I'felt constrained to rely, to
pass withoftt ’notice. - ‘-‘My silence and for
bearance has been imputed to other than the
true motives, and has doubtless caused these
slanderous attacks to be repeated and con
tinued. The main reason of my forbearance
■ having passed away with the conclusion ot
|qnr recent political conflicts, I determined to
give to E. H. Puglie tlie only notice which a
gentleman' could give. This I did on thei

applied vigorously upon the face,

safety from further inflictions by'
fleeing from my reach. ,
I feel assured that it is not necessary, where
I am known, for me to state that I did not and
could no* have attacked this man from his
rear. I approached from tho rear—he was
standing with his back up the street, 1 was
going doira—I passed him and tamed so as
to bring ns face to face; Then, as I stood
before him, I applied the little joker, as be
fore stated.
My only regret in relation to the matter is
that I should have been compelled to appear
before the public in the attitude of a disturber
of the peace. I offer, in extenuation of my
conduct, the feet that no other remedy which
a gentleman could nse wonld prodnee the
desired effect.
I again apologize to the public, and take
leave of the unpleasant affair.

A Sad Occurrence.
Little Joseph O. Alexander, son of W. S.
and Maiy A. Alexander, of Carroll county,
Ga., aged 3 years and 7-months, was burned
to death on the morning of the 18th of No
vember, 1868. Joseph, without tbe knowl
edge of the family, went to the field where
his brother was plowing and where there was
some fire. It appears that he was wanning
himself when his clothes took fire ; he started
towards his brother screaming, bnt his
brother being some distance- from him did
not hear his cries until the poor child had
fallen, his clothes consumed and his body in
flame, he at length came near the child again
and was startled by tbe low suffocating msan
of his dear little brother, He ran to him and
found his sweet tender body literally baked,
he was piteously calling his elder sister. She
and the mother heard the cries of the
other brother and' hied away to the heart
rending scene. When the agonized mother
approached, he raised, his parched
hands and said, “ O rna, I did’nt know there
was fire there.” The father was absent bnt
fetrirhed before the real contest between the
great spoiler and his dear boy was over. The
dying child seemed to rejoice ot the return of
his father. A smile came over his pallid face
and he said,. “ Take me pa, I’m cold.” - How
it pained the affectionate, anxious father’s
heart to know that he conld not comply with
this last request of his dying boy, the-kind
hearted physician was doing all he conld to
mitigr.te his suffering, and said he must not
be moved. He liugered seven hours when
“ swift death" released him from his suffer
ings Joseph was a bright and lovely child.
Few- children at his age evinced such strength
of intellect, . He was q bud of extraordinary
promise.—Ne'wiian llerakl, 4th

one of the most dastardly robberies ever com

On Wednesday night last at about 9 o’clock,
the residence of Mr. B. C. Searcy, a highly
esteemed'citizen, some four or five miles from
this city, was visited by three desperadoes—
two negroes and one white man with his face
blacked, who colled out the old man and de
manded to know the whereabouts of money
supposed to be in hia possession. Upon his
refusal he was shot by one of the negroes—a
pistol ball taking effect in his abdomen—pro
ducing, it is believed, a mortal wound. The
robbers then proceeded to search the prem
ises,, succeeding in finding and carrying off
some sixty dollars in money and two gold
We are told that a niece,of Mr. Searcy. who
was present, was severely choked-in order to
and barely escapetl with her life. '

“In spite of-General Grant's reticence,

parties to effectually check the prediction
that’Grant would disappoint the Republicans,

with which ho supports the general features
of the Republican policy. The gentlemen
