The third one, Bart Carter, had made a confession. Their crime was ihe murder of Hunter AVilson on the night of Dec. ISth; and robbing hi? house of 81100. It seems shat Chambers, the Liar,” while perpetrating his recent fake of pretended suicide, lied to some purpose while liis baud was in, aud several Memphis gentlemen who befriended him financially are left with worthless checks on hand varying from 820 lo 840 in amount. Henry AIcDonald, the young At lantaiau, who was detained in Chatta¬ nooga upon charges of obtaining li’ad board upon false pretenses, has a preliminary heating and was bound over, on a new charge, that of obtain¬ ing money on false pretenses, His family, who are of the very best peo¬ ple of Atlanta, have, it is said, de¬ cided not to interfere in his behalf. Late advices from Brazil convey the information that while the insurgent steamer, Venus, was bombarding the government fort at Aladema Point, a shell, dropped by a sailor, exploded. Her magazine was blown up, tearing a hole in the side of the ship, through which ihe water rushed, and she soon afterwards sunk. The crew was saved by boats from another vessel. Near Berlin, Texas, two ladies, Airs. Behrens and Mohril, having gone to tho family burial ground to do some cleaning up, were returning when two negroes sprang out of tbo woods.

A battle lias been fought in San Gelbriel, in which tho rebel forces under General Piani were defeated, and General Penetro killed.

According to resolutions adopted at a public meeting at Paisano, Texas, there were no crops made iu that sec¬ tion last year, and tire people are threatened with starvation, A drouth has prevailed for thirteen months, and 90 per cent of all domes¬ tic animals has died.

The names of Matias Garcia and W. G. Gutherlaud are appended as chair¬ man and secretary. At St. Charles, Ark., Will Farrer, while drunk at an early hour, was amusing himself by breaking down the doors of stores.

Just then Parker, who had been sleeping in the back room of his store, appeared at the front door, and, taking Ballard for a burglar, shot him. Ho then fired the other barrel of his gun at Farrer, killing him instantly. Howard died of the wounds inflicted by the shot. Harper’s Alagazine for Alarch more than sustains the high standard of ex¬ cellence which has heretofore marked the pages of that monthly. “A Steel Tool” is a highly interesting and in¬ structive article on the invention, progress and manufacture of steel. Aliss Shelton gives in terse stylo some details of history relating to the “New England Negro,” that will be interest¬ ing to tho southern reader, and per¬ haps surprising, if not startling, to some of a higher latitude. Dr. T. Alitchell Pruden has an article on “Tuberculosis and its Prevention,” in which he combats the notion I hat it is hereditary and maintains that it is contagious. Uis suggestions as to the hygeine of the household are es¬ pecially valuable. The measures taken to ascertain the identity of the man Dranghn who was lately admitted to Grady Hospital, Atlanta, afflicted with )o3.s of memo¬ ry, resulted in the discovery of a vil¬ lain as well as his lost name. It trans¬ pires that Dranghn, after living three years with his wife at Salem, N. C., deserted her and afterwards married a second wife at Ashville, whom, af¬ ter six months, he abandoned also, lie then went to Bryson City, where he courted Aliss Ella Alitchell and in¬ duced her to elope with and marry him.
