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. Wo have learned, since writing the above, that the passengers succeeded in reaching the wamp with their baggage in safely, from whence thqy were removed by several gentlemen, real dents oif Pulaski county, to their residences, who vied with their families in making these unfor tunates comfortable.

Adelina Patti was at the Vagliano theatre, Florence, and wax declared a decided anil triumphant success. 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. From Liverpool we have the authority of United States Consul Dudley for stating that the Shenandoah wlil sail for New York on the 21st ult, under command of Capt. Free man. N.\roi.EON's Mexican Policy.—The Wash ington correspondent of the Philadelphia 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continue, all the French troops in Mexico, save the foreign legion of 8,000 (which was stipulated to remain), will be withdrawn.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. Scarcity of Meat.—The G recnville (Tcnn) New Era says: The article of pork is very scarce in up- . 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. •"'oax at $1,23 rsa Bushel.—W.

I 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 small and insignificant English party. Death of an old Citizen of New Or 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.
