THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE NORTH-
From the Richmond (Va.) Dispatch, Oct. 3.
New York papers of the 30th ult. contain the
particulars of the murder, at Louisville, Kentucky,
on the 29th, of Major General Bull Nelson, by
Brigadier General Jeff. C. Davis, of Indiana. It
appears that Davis had been deprived of his com
mand by Nelson, and ordered under arrest, but had
gone to Cincinnati, and upon laying bis case be
lore General Wright had been reinstated. A dis
patch from Louisville says:
There are many conflicting accounts of the
shooting of Gen. Nelson by Gen. Davis. About a
week ago Nelson placed Davis in command of the
Home Guard forces of the city. At night Davis
reported to Nelson the number of men working
on the entrenchments and enrolled for service.
Nelson cursed him for not having more. Davis
replied that he was a general officer, and de
manded the treatment of a gentleman. Nelson,
in an insulting manner, ordered him to report at
Cincinnati, and told him he would order the Pro
vost Marshal to eject him from the city.
This morning, Gov. Monon, of Indiana, and
General Nelson were standing near the desk in
the Galt Rouse, when General Davis approached
and requested Gov. Morton to witness a conversa
tion between himself and Gen. Nelson, He de
manded of Nelson an apology for the rude treat
ment he had received last week. Nelson, being
a little deaf, asked him to speak louder. Davis
again demanded an apology. Nelson denounced
him and slapped him in the face. Davis stepped
back, clenched his fist, and again demanded an
apology. Nelson slapped him in the face, and
again denounced him as a coward. Davis turned
away, procured a pistol from a friend, and fol
lowed Nelson, who was going up stairs. Davis
told Nelson to defend himself, immediately thereon
firing.
The ball penetrated his left breast, and General
Nelson died in about twenty minutes. Gen Nelson
requested to see his old friend, Rev. Mr. Talbot,
rector of Calvary Episcopal Church, who was
then at the Galt House. Mr. Talbot administered
tbe sacrament according to the forms of his
church. The General repeated the service after
the minister and refused to talk on any other sub
ject ; he regretted that he had not long ago turned
his attention to religion
Another account says:
A few minutes before 9 o’clock Gen. Jefferson
C. Davis, of Indiana, met Gen. Nelson in the hall
of the Galt House, and attempted to speak to him.
Gen Nelson refused to listen, and turned away.
Davis followed him to the other end of the ha'l,
and again addressed him. Nelson now turned to
him, saying; “Do you wish to insult me, you
cowardly puppy'?” and struck him at the same
time on the head. Davis did not retaliate on the
spot, but made through the crowd of guests until
fie met an officer of his acquaintance, borrowed
a pistol of bim, and then pushed to the west door
ot the ball where Nelson was conversing with
some gentlemen. When within a tew feet of him
he cocked the revolver ana fired instantly. The
ball entered Nelson’s left breast, inflicting a mor
tal wound. He managed to walk up stairs to
Gen. Buell’s room, where he fell on the floor.
Surgical attendance was immediately called, but
the General died about thirty minutes after he
was shot. He was conscious until three minutes
before his death. Among his last words were,
“1 am murdered.”
The New York World, noticing the affair, says!
The deceased was a brave man and a good sub
ordinate General, but, he failed to pay any respect
to those courtesies, not to say decencies of life,
without which ability and bravery are useless in
a military leader. He was blasphemous, indecent
and abusive beyond ail precedent in his conver
sation and deportment toward his equals and in
feriors in rank. If one half that is reported ot him
is true, it is a marvel he was not shot months
since.' Such a man, no matter what his claims,
should not have been permitted to remain in the
army a month. He was perpetually violating that
most essential of the army regulations which in
sists on conduct becoming a gentleman. Had he
been displaced for this cause it would have been
worth a victory to our armies in the warning it
would have been to the mass of our officers, whose
discipline in this respect is very defective.
The New York Herald says:
Major Grneral Nelson was a Kentuckian, and
was formerly a Lieutenant in the navy. He was
one of the officers of the Mississippi, which con
veyed the suite of Kossuth to our shores. Upon
the breaking out of the rebellion be espoused tbe
cause of the Union. Brigadier-General Jeff C.
Davis hails from Indiana, and was a Lieutenant at
Fort Sumter when it was bombarded and captured,
and from his talent and gallantry was assigned a
higher position in the armv. His conduct in the
Missouri campaign was brilliant, particularly at
Pea Ridge. Gen. Nelson also distinguished him*
self on many a hard-fought field, but more partieu-'
larly at Shiloh, where he fought with great hero
ism. He was recently wounded at the battle of
Richmond, Ky., and bad not wholly recovered
when he was killed. Both officers were admira
ble fighters and bighstrung gentlemen.
democratic meeting in new york—Lincoln's pro
clamation DENOUNCED.
A meeting was held at the Democratic head
quarters in New York, Monday night, at which
about 1,000 nersons were present. Hon, James
Brooks, of the New York Express, first addressed
the meeting. After denouncing the emancipation
proclamation;
He then spoke of the second proclamation, say
ing to the people, if you agitate this subject you
shall be put in Fort Lafayette (“Let them try
it—Laughter.”) It was a proper corollary the
first. The provost marshal 'hisses) of the State
or city of New York is made the judge of our
loyalty, and any personal enemy may obtain the
incarceration ot any of us. There are two points
in the proclamation. The fir t is, tbe suspension
of civil and tbe establishment ot martial law, and
the second is tbe suspension of the Kab as corpus.
That right which our English fathers have bad
since the dark ages is annulled by a proclamation,
and citizens are arrested without knowing why or
wherefore. (“Infamous ”) never did the
revolutionary fathers, who struck bright and free
the sparks of liberty, delegate such power to the
Executive. Could they tell that for his speech be
should not be in Fort La*ayette to-morrow. (“No.
no,”) If it was not a period of wai we should
have no hesitancy in saying, “Resistance to ty*»
rants is obedience to God.” (Tremendous ap
plause.) Tbe ballot box is the remedy. Form
huge processions, bearing the red cap ot liberty,
and protest, beg, and implore a return of our lib-
er ies. (‘‘You’re right.”) Read the Constitution
of the United States, securing to every man free
dom of speech, trial by jury, and protection in
his person and property. (Cheers.).
He did not propose ever to give up the Consti
tution or surrender tothe rebels. (Applause.) But
he proposed to carry on the war on a different
principle, and taking a sword in the right hand
and the Constitution in the left, and save the coun
try through the Constitution. (Cheers.) He would
surround tbe rebels, and leave treason to sting it
self toJaaih. This geographical idea of over
running tu.e Southern territory with unacclimated
Northern meC is a theory that must fail. He ab
horred secession and abolition equally. Jett. Da*
vis is a rebel only two years old, Wendell Phil
lips is, by bis own edrifession, a rebel twemy years
old. (Applause.) With the exception of the lit
tle Republic of San Marino, on a peak of the Ap
penines, we are the only Republic now in exist
ence, and we are working out tbe grand problem.
Tyrants in Europe are using all their power to sub
vert our principles. Mere than even now is it
necessary to impress upon the Northern that
“Liberty, liberty, liberty, and Union, nW and
are one and inseparable.” (CrheJ.n?.)
Mr. Schnable, who was imprisoned in Fort Lai
fayetie, then addressed tbe meeting.
Mr. Lincoln, he said, will be supported bv all
when he acts constitutionally. (Applause.) 'We
have already buried 400,000 men, or more, and
saddled the country with a debt nearly equal to
Great Britain’s. There was a time when, if a
few men had been treatea for their attempts at de
stroying the labor and peace of this country, as
loyal men have since been treated by imprisons
ment, this might have been prevented. (Ap»
plause.) The clap-trap knavery of the Secretary
o! State is double-tongued, like the serpent.—
When he utters anything, he shapes it in such a
way that, if the party he belongs to turns a back
somerset to-morrow he can swear as well by his
interpretation as he can by the position of the
party to-day. When imprisoned in Fort Lafay*
ette he was ofi'eied his freedom on condition of
taking a certain oath, which closed as follows:
“And you do further swear that you will never, by
writing or public speaking, throw any obstacle
in the way of whatever measure this administra*
tion may see fit to adopt.” (Laughter and his
ses.) He refused to take tbe oatb. (Great ap
plause.)
The time is coming" when he would revenge
himself. (Cheers.) Remember that free speech
will not be crushed. (“No, never.”) Imprison
ment may begin again, and at last we will be
triumphant. Men must depend upon public ora .
tors and the public press, and they must judge
how near they are right. God Almighty himself,
when amid tbe darkness of chaos He laid the
stagnant waters in order, said, “Let there be
light.” (Applause.) And now, amidst tbe moral,
civil, and political chaos of our country let the
battle cry of the Democracy'be, “Let there be
light.” (Cheers.) If the free Northern white
man is to lose his liberty in the atrocious effort to
make the descendant ot Ham his equal, then it is
high time that we begin to investigate whether
the teachings of the party which is bringing about
this damnable result are right or wrong.—
Tfie doctrine announced by iSimon Cameron;
the great Winnebag plunderer, who has rob
bed the Government coffers more than any
criminal that ever disgraced the annals of a court
of justice, as the only plan by which he could
save his ill-gotten gains, was the obliteration of
State lines and the elevation of a man of perpetu
al power, like the arbitrary Louis Napoleon, or
some one backed up by the Abolitionists, like
that monstrous jackass, John Charles Fremont.
(Laughter and applause.) The experience of his
tory teaches us that whenever, irom generation
to generation, you bend the knee of the laboring
classes of a country to a power beyond their
reach, in a little while the child, following the
paternal example, adopts the genufluction, and
submits until at length the chains are bound up
on it without any chance of breaking. It is al
most the history of poor Ireland. It is the natu
ral effect ot the operations of tyranny.
Mr. McMasters made a few remarks at the close,
and the audience separated quietly. At tbe next
meeting Richard O'Gorman will speak.
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
The New York Herald, of the 30tb, says:
Yesterday was another very active and exciting
day in Wall street. The speculative fever seems
to be decidedly on the increasaamong the public.
The brokers’ offices are thronged with operators.
The advance of the day was equal to 2X*3 per
cent, on the leading speculative railways, and
3a5 per cent on the cheaper classes of bonds.
Gold rose to 123 X, demand notes to 119X> and
bills on London to 135. Money was active at 4d5
per cent. The bank statement shows an increase
of $270,485 in specie, and an increase of $4,611-
399 in deposits, and $1,861,758 in loans. Every
body is buying gold in order to insure against tbe
depreciation ot tbe currency. If man who is
worth $50,000 is afraid that by the depreciation ot
the paper money now afloat he may find himself
only worth in reality $25,000 at the end of tbe
war, he can protect himself by buying $50,000 in
gold, taking it to the Sub-Treasury, depositing it
at four per cent., and, if he needs the money,
borrowing on the Sub-Treasurer’s certificate of
deposit. This is the secret of the recent enor
mour purchases of gold.
NAVIGATION Of'tHE MISSISSIPPI.
At a meeting ot the Union Chamber of Coms
merce, of St. Louis, held on the 23d, the following
preamble and resolution was adopted:
Whereas. The Mississippi river and its tributa
ries are tbe natural outlet to the ocean for the agi
ncultral States of the Mississippi valley, and the
cheapest and most expeditious route for the tran
sportation of the products of the soil to the mar
kets of tbe Eastern States and all foreign coun
tries; and whereas, tbe full navigation of said
river is impeded- by the rebel armies, thereby
adding very largely to the cost of all tbe supplies
brought from the seaboard, and lowering tbe
price of the products of the soil, in consequence
of tbe largely increased cost of transportation by
railroads and canals to and from the Atlantic
ciiies; and whereas, the loyal States of the Mis
sissippi valley have freely given of their sons, of
their means, for the restoring of the Union,
cheerlully bearing the burden of the lessening
value ot their products, the increased cost of all
supplies; therefore,
Resolved, That we earnestly recommond that a
petition be made to the President of tbe United
' States, requesting bim to cause the opening of the
Mississippi river for the commerce of the north
west, to be the especial object of our western
army.
Lincoln will be in no hurry to try the Vicks
ourg experiment again, and the traders of St.
Louis wi 1 have to be content with a curtailed
commerce.
KgT’ We clip the subjoined items from th
Cleveland (Tenn.) Banner, of Oct. 2d:
Cheap Living.— lt don't cost very much to live
now-a-days, everything is so cheap Bacon is
seiling at the reduced price of 40 cents per lb.—
beef from 10 to 15 -flour 12X P er pound—corn
meal $2 per bushel—wood, per load, and small at
that, sl.so—whiskey, a commodity that some
people cannot do without since coffee has gone
out of fashion, sells at the moderate price of $8
per gallon, and that, too, after it has cressed a
good many water courses. We hope to hear no
more grumbling while things remain at such rea
sonable figures.
Hard Winter.— lt is said that a heavy persim*
mon crop indica'es that a severe winter will follow.
If such be the case we may look out for squalls
the coming winter, because we have never seen a
more plentiful persimmon crop than the present,
We have a heavy mast also, which is another in
dication of a very cold winter. Let everybody
prepare for a severe winter.
Capture vt our Sick and Wounded at War

dow sashes and behaved themselves generally
like savages. At Mr. Crowell’s unpretending
cottage, tbey broke up his dairy, throwing the
milks, curds,and butter overthe walls and floors,
of course helping themselves first. They destroyed
bis salt works completely, aud did as much mis>»

themselves by breaking.a tine piano iu pieces, and
doing other rascally tneas.
