A Very Singular Tragedy in Rochester, N. Y.—Late last night a singular and lament able tragedy was performed in south St. Panl street, of which we have gathered thetollow- 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 [summon presence of mind enough to the infuriated lunatic she swallowed potent -poison, apparently 1 stryeMine, _ _ tkpparehtly* Btryel and died in a" few- minutes. —Rochester.

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. 4 it 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 in the newly elect; but as; for Jlipi have nothing to" do with it-f/tis. oos rotted at such xcork, Door fello^ ^ 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. ■The Burning of Rort Lafayette. -^-We tind the following in the New Y°?J?

Our loss was , Major Elliott, Copt. Hamilton, and nineteen enlisted men killed. Brevet Colonel Bamitz was badly wonnded. Brevet Lieut Col. T. W. Coster, 2d Lieut E. J. March, and eleven enlisted men woniided.' Little Raven's' band of Arra- pahoes and Satanta's band of Kiowas were 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 and Little Baven’s families are among the prisoners. It was Black Kettle’s band who committed the first depredation on the Saline and Solomon rivers in Kansas. The Kansas Regiment has just come in. They missed the trail and had to straggle in the snow storm, the horses suffering much in flesh, and the men living on Bofialo. meat and other game for eight days. If we can get one or two more good-blows there will bo no more Indian troubles in my department We will be pinched in our ability to supply, and nature will present many difficulties in our winter operations, but we have stout hearts, and will do our best Two white children were recaptured. One white woman and one boy ten years old were brutally murdered by the Indian women when the attack commenced. P. H. Sheridan, Major General Commanding. 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. -*»• ' >'.»t4 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.

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.

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.
