The Comet, with a cargo consisting of INbaln

The greater part of the eotton waa on deck,
and will be saved in good condition. That
the hold—about seventy-live bales—wifi also
soon be secured, but of coarse in a damaged

The boat it is thought, can be raised. She i*
valued at $M,ooO. Her loss, at this time, will
vravw a serious drawback to the cotton shipping

transporting the staple to tta seaboard. We
trait to see her place supplied by her owners
with a substantial steamer, or at least another
boat put on the river until such time as the
Comet can bo raised and repaired.

that the passengers succeeded in reaching the

thqy were removed by several gentlemen, real

The London News, speaking ofPresident
Johnson's policy and the prospects of the
froedmen in the South, says one thing certain
is Aha t the real, permanent welfare of the nc-
gros is a work which requires patience. The
sin and sorrow of a hundred years cannot lie
repaired in a hurry; nor can the wronged race
lie righted or compensated by partisan strife,
orany rivalry of Southern persons. Force can
never achieve such a work; and in the partic
ular case, the shortest and surest road to the
social salvation of the blacks is a wise and
gentle consideration for the whites.

N.\roi.EON's Mexican Policy.—The Wash

ledger gives the following:
“WtotK Drouyn do l'Huis expressed to
Mr. Dayton two years ago, upon the subject
of French intervention in Mexico, the Count
dc Mantholon is understood to have reitera
ted to Mr. Seward within the past few (lays,
and the substance of this is that when Louis
Napoleon is assured that our neutrality will
continue, all the French troops in Mexico,
save the foreign legion of 8,000 (which was
stipulated to remain), will be withdrawn.
The position of France is, therefore, precise
ly what it was when the wily Emperor first
undertook his conquest of the “sick man’s■*
dominions.
A Blood-thirsty Legislature.
We find the following savage resolution
despatched to a Western paper:
St. Louis, Nov. 29.—In the lower house of
our legislature, yesterday, the following reso
lution was offered:
lletolrtd by the House' of Cepresentatires,
the Senate concurring therein : That the arch
traitor, Jefferscn Davis. ex-President (so-
called) of the Southern Confederacy, is guil
ty of the highest crime known to American
law, and is not a fit subject for clemency, and
should suffer the penalty of law due to such
a crime.
A motion to reject this resolution was lost
by a vote of 17 to 91.

. Arrest or a Confederate Man.—Some
months since we printed an account of the
exploits of one B. W. Allen, alias Hon John
W. Harria, of Mississippi, who was detected
in some villainies and fled from 8t. Paul, Jlin
neaota. This man was a banker on a sins'
•cale ih Ohio in f863. and by the ertor of
bank clerk was paid $10,000, instead of $1,
000. He absconded with the money, desert-
rag hu wile, ami subsequently was'heard of
tu^-Ncw 1 ork city. Here he was married to
Miss Annie Osborne, of East Thirteenth
street, trader the name of Hon. John W. Har
ris, of Mississippi. After a fast but brief ca
reer in New York, be emigrated to the West
trad victimized the citizens of St. Paul
where be finally deserted his New York wife)
and since then nothing wa* known of his
whereabouts until Tuesday, when lie was ar
rested in Washington City for swindling the
Bank of Commerce, of Georgetown, out of
*'2,000. by means of a forged certified check.
When apprehended and searched there were
found on his person $2,000 in money, one
very fine huge cluster diamond pin, with
chain attached, one large cluster diamond
finger ring, with a lot of other jewelry ;
lot of blank checks on the different banks, -
check on one of onr prominent hanking firms,
payable to Galt & Bro., jewelers, for $300,
and a bank book showing tliat he had made
deposits with the same bankers. In his room
was found a lot of check books on different
tanks in different cities, also a scrap from a
Western neivspai>cr containing a statement of
which the aliorc is the substance. His alias
j n Washington was Daniel Miller, but he has
identified as the hero of the career related.
Death of Mn. Crew.—We learn from the
Atlanta Era, that this gentleman died from
the wounds received front the hands of some
murderous ruffians, on the night of the 28th
ult., without lieing conscious enough to give
information that would lead to the detection
of the perpetrators:
It tacomes our sad and painful duty to
chronicle the death of James R Crew, Esq.,
who died from the effects of the wound in-
nicted on him by an assassin Wednesday night
Mr. Crew was on e of the best and most prom
inent citizens of Atlanta, and at the time of
Ins death, was a candidate for Mayor of the
etty with fair prospects of election. As a
gentleman and citizen, he occupied a high
position in .Atlanm, and as General Ticket
Agent at tins place, he waS useful in an emi
nent degree. iij s place will be hard to fill.
Thus lias tlj e lif e of one of our worthiest
citizens b cen terminated by the hand of an
assassin, and unless something is done to
check the reign of crime in- our midst, we
greatly fear that wc will lie called uj>on to
chronicle similar occurrences of the kind.
The late hour at which we received notice
of Mr. Crews’s death, precludes a more exten
ded notice.
A reward of one thousand dollars has liccn
offered by the city council of Atlanta for the
apprehension of the murderer.
And a San Francisco letter of the 24tli
gives the following additional;
Private letters from a commercial firm at
Mazatlan and other Mexican ports, received
by steamer John L. Stevens, report the feel
ing against the French as becoming stronger
and stronger every day. Large purchases' of
wine and other commodities, made in San
Francisco during tlie summer on French ac
count, have been rejected by res irting to the
subterfuges of short weights, inferior quali
ties, to tlie detriment ot the merchants, who
operated largely on the presumed good faith
of the French commissariat. Goods to the
amount oftwo hundred thousand dollars, im-
>ortcd from Valparaiso, on account of the
Trench in Mexico, were also repudiated, to
the great disgust of the parties interested.
The general condition of tlie country was
deplorable, and under no other government
had things been in such a state of chaos.—
Most of the French troops had gone to the
Northern frontier It was Raid.' that there
would l»c a general rejoicing if the few hun
dred remaining at Mazatlan should follow.
But for the action of the French authorities
was believed that there would have been
good trade with the Western ports of Mexi
co all through the winter, whereas everything
’-now depressed. *
Moiie About the Brookbyn Tbaokdv.—
From the New York Herald of the 27th we
glean a few particulars in regard to the arrest
of tlie assassins of Otero, tlieir appertrance,
etc.:
Since his arrest, Gonzales maintains the
same sullen and dogged demeanor that char
acterizes the bravo. At times bis wicked eyes
gleam with ferocity and hatred, especially
when his captor (Captain Waddy) visits him.
But this siing froid nearly failed hint during
an interview he had with the Spanish Consul,
and Mr. Antonia Cuvas, proprietor of the-Bar-
cclona hotel. These gentlemen,"accompanied
by a personal friend of the murdered man
from Havana, visited the forty-fourth pre
cinct station house on Myrtle avenue yester
day afternoon. They seemed to be in the
highest spirits on account of tlie capture of
both of tlie assassins, and congratulated Cap
tain Waddy warmly on ltis share in the mat
ter. The Consul, in the fulness of his joy,
embraced him, and the others grasped liotli
his hands with ardor.

Tiie British Provinces.—A Montreal let
ter of the 23th contains the following:
The flurry of the movement against Fenian
invasion is now over, and tho young men of
the rifle corps have thrown aside their rifles
and black leather .accoutrements to resume
their peaceful avocations.
Confederation ia again the thing to come
up, and every effort will be made to bring
about a union of the provinces; but the gen
eral feeling in the maritime provinces is to
keep out of a confederation which cannot
bring them much good, and would increase
the weight of taxation very much.
A new French republican club has been
organized here with the object of favoring
annexation to the United States. This lias
sprung out of the agitation caused by the
meeting in New York of the compatriots of
members of the club, and many more clubs
will be added to it, to the disgust of the

leans.—Tlie Crescent of the 18th uR, thus
notices the death of an .old resident, Mr. R
D. Shepherd:
“We heard yesterday, through a private
source, of the death of this old and well
known citizen ofNcvv Orleans. Mr. Shepherd
died on his plantation in Jefferson county, Vir
ginia, last Saturday, the 11th, in the 81st
year of his age. His disease, we learn, was
tyjihoid fever. There have been but few men,
not even his friend and benefactor, the late
Judah Touro, more closely identified with the
business and interests of New Orleans for Gfty
years than R D. Shepherd; and we are sure
the announcement of his death -will be an
event of melancholy interest to those contem
poraries who, associated with him in the past,
yet survive his death. Mr. Shepherd died
possessed of a large and Talnablc property in
this city—a city which he has seen grow from
little more than a village to its present dimen
sions.
The Contest fob the Speakership.—A
special to the Herald, dated Washington, 29,
says:
It is understood that an effort will be mode
by the New York delegation, at the organiza
tion of Congress, to decide the clerical hon
ors and emoluments with Pennsylvania,-
which has so long employed a monopoly of
them.
A struggle to depose Mr. McPherson, Clerk
of the House, will undoubtedly be made.—
Several candidates for tbe clerkship are being
talked over by members already here, and it
would seem, from their earnestness, that Mr.
McPherson has more to do than simply walk
over the course. The name of Richard N.
Sherman, ot Oneida county. New Yoric, for
Re-establisiuest of the Republican
Government of Chihuahua—A Washing
ton dispatch, of the 29th, contains the fol
lowing:
Official new* from El Paso was received
this evening by Mr. Romero, the Mexican
Minister, that the recent movements of the
national forces of Mexico compelled the
French troops of Chihuahua to evacuate that
city and State, and to withdraw to Durango.
On the 25th of October the evacuation begun,
and four days later not a single French sol
dier was left in Chibuahna. President Jau-
rez writes, on the 3d inst., that be was about
leaving El Paso for the city of Chihuahua, to
reestablish there the national government.—
This La thought to lie a great success for the
republican cause of Mexico, since the French
admit their inability to hold the conquered
ground.
