Eldridge, instanced their man ner of employment at New Orleans, in organizing a Legislature. Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, said In had tin- same oomplaint to make here that he had made when the na val appropriation bill was under con sideration, viz; That an attempt was made to pass the bill in tin- absence of the official document. He had been unable to obtain any paper showing the operations of the army in the past year, and he was entitled to know all, that he would not act in the dark nor vote a dollar until he ! knew how the army had been em ployed last year. He made this objection in good faith, for he believed that these documents had been purposely withheld, whether for a good or bad purpose he was not. prepared to say. A few days ago General Emory is reported to have sworn before the committee investi gating affairs at New Orleans that during the last summer the army was employed in civil affairs in New Or leans under orders emanating direct ly from the Attorney General of the United States. If that was so, he. (lleek) desired the fact to ap pear from the official documents, so that articles of impeachment might bo prepared against the Attor ney General. If General Emory’s statement is shown to be correct, we should reach out for the Department I officer who had thus prostituted his [powers, instead of voting appropri ations for the army: He had a right to these documents before lie voted away the money of hie constituents. If the Attorney General was wrongly accused tin- documents would show it, and the country should know tin fact. * -*- • V. y, Hiralil on Mew Orleans. | Special to tin Time# by tie- H. & A.

Referring to the proceedings at New Orleans yes terday, tin- Hernld says there was wit nessed in the Louisiana Slate House yesterday, a spectacle which is the first of its kind in this country, and w-hieh should cause any true Aincri- I can to blush with shame and indig nation. We congratulate Ihe citizens of Louisiana, and t in- people of the country, that this extraordinary and most startling scene did not provoke violence and blood shed. A forcible resistance would have been | justifiable in this ease if it be ever | justifiable in any ease. A greater outrage on every principle of free government was never penetrated. Were it not for the fact that the peo ple of Louisiana have a sure resource for tin- redress of their grievances in the sense of justice of tic- whole country and in public resentment, which will )>e kindled to the highest pitch by these atrocities and unex ampled proceedings. The Tribune says nothing in histo ry, not of even the great conspiracy by which border ruffians undertook to seize the territory and State of Kansas, can furnish any parallel for the crowning iniquity, the Federal adaptation. Tho citizens of Louisi ana have seen themselves cheated and defrauded, and when the fraud came near to failure they have seen the whole power of the general gov ernment, used to consummate it and make viliany successful. They make no outcry but upon facts as they are ; they invoke the deliberate judgment of tiie American people. The HoWd says we hope there is no American man who can read the news from New Orleans without a thrill of shame, and rage. The Times expresses no opinion upon the merits the ease. Mew Orleans.

Fortu nately for Mohammed Mirza, his ex ecutioners forgot to search his pock ets, which contained a small knife. Directly the mouth of the sack was closed upon hint and his companions lie cut, in half the viper, which was already encircling his leg; the cock and the cat were next dispatched, and our Persian occupied tire remainder of his hour simulating a violent fight of the three animals, and giving forth the most excruciating erics of agony. In due time sack and all were con signed to the water, and then Mo hammed Mirza, speedily freeing him self from the prison, gamed tho other side of the river, and came post-haste to Europe, for the future a voluntary exile from his fatherland.” Reasons Why. Admiral Semmes, in his lecture recently in Augusta, gave several reasons why sailors call ed a ship in the feminine gender, the following being tiie three principal ones ; 1, Because, a vessel always looks best when it is freshly painted ; 2, There is nothing prettier when in stays; 3, It never goes abroad with out bringing home the news. AN OLD Wim MTOIIY. THE F4TE OF AN Oil) MERCHANT -HIS NEPHEWS HAW HIS HEAD OFF. From the Levant HeraM.J A singular trial for murder has taken place at Mlssivria, and lias en ded in the acquittal of the prisoners two brothers, who were licensed of the murder of their uncle, a rich old Odessa merchant. The old man, having retired from active life and wound up his business, returned from Odessa some years ago and settled down in Missivria, his na tive town. Here he gave much in charity to the poor, and behaved handsomely to Ills nephews, with whom he lived, and Whom he helped out of poverty into a respectable po sition in local trade. Three years ago the old man suddenly disappeared. No serious inquiry, however, was made to ascertain what had become of him. llis nephews made liberal donations to tiie churches, and in herited, or rather appropriated, the old man’s wealth. Probably they would have been left entirely undis turbed in tho enjoyment of their riches but for a eireu instance which, fora time, must have caused them some trouble and anxiety. On a certain day, in tiie early part of this year, an old woman asked for an audience with the cadi, and, on being admitted, made a deposition as follows: “It was a dark, stormy night,” the old woman said. “Tiie wind had several times blown in my window-sash, putting out my lamp, and causing the embers of my lire to fly about the room. Suddenly, amid tho howling of the storm, I heard a shriek, then a moan. Strange sounds followed, which seemed to come from the house of my neighbor, tiie Odessa merchant. 1 ' crossed myself, and drank a little raki to keep up my courage, and thou I remembered that there was a crack in the wall of my closet , through which I could see into the house of my neighbor, (he mer chant. Thither I went, and applied my eye to the crevice in the mud wall, and this is what 1 saw : “Two men were pressing down a pillow upon t.lio face of anot her mini, whom they kept prostrate, and a woman was holding a light. The old man I recognized him -was very strong, for he overthrew His nephews, although his throat was cut and blood gushed from the wound. He would have escaped, but the woman struck him in the face with a chair. His head was bent backward, as though he could not keep it in its place on account of the gusli across his throat. Stillhjs eyes flashed life; lie staggered toward the window; but there lie was again struck down by his nephews. Then they sawed away at his throat , till the head was separated, I'min the trunk.” The accuser went, onto say that she threatened the murderers with a dis closure of the crime which she hud witnessed, but that, they promised her “hush-moneythat, as she was poor, she agreed, in consideration thereof, to hold her tongue, and that ! she washed the blood from the floor of I the room where the old man had I been put to death. Tin- “hush money,” however, had not been paid, and, lis she was starving, she deter i mined to make known her story. The j story w'as made known in March or April, but no proceedings were taken | until August. The accused parties were then arrested and confined in Zaptieh, “Oda.” Tho old woman, j too, was put in prison, and was flogged and half smothered between mattrasses night after night, until the trial ended, and the persons whom the vox populi still stigmatize [ as murderers were declared innocent. i “Uft/Jtje’R PriHDu,” in January PcriliHor,] A Of tlM* 11*011 IHflNli. i During the seventeen years’ con finement of this strange prisoner at Sainte Marguerite, St. Mars, - who brought him to the fortress, was ro i placed by a Monsieur de Bonpurt. as ■Governor. Tho .daughter of the lat ter, just emerging from childhood to womanhood, grew up with this m ys tery around her. She had seen the graceful figure of the masked prison er promenading at night upon the terrace and at worship in the ((impel, where he was forbidden to speak nr uncover his face, tiie soldiers in at tendance, having their pieces always pointed towards him, if he should at tempt to do either. Blie discovered that, her father always treated him with the greatest respect, serving him bareheaded and standing. HE table service was of massive silver, liis dress of the richest, velvet, lie wore tho finest linen and the most costly lace. Him had heard her fath er accidentally speak of him as “the Prince.” No wonder that iiis sail fate occupied her thoughts by day, arid his noble figure haunted her dreams by night. Him too, was very young and beautiful, and their eyes occasionally met in Chapel. He sang beautifully and was a skillful per former on the guitar It is said she clitublod the rocks under the castle terrace and sweet songs sung to the poor captive. Thus a romantic love sprang up between thorn, and as it. gained strength, the young girl dared to purloin wie keys from her father, and so obtained access to the prison er. When the Governor .(Hoovered his child’s treachery, he was struck with the greatest dismay. His oath was binding upon hint to put imme diately to death any one who had spoken to the prisoner. But she con fessed her love for him, and pleaded piteously for her young life. The captive also, to whom the. Governor was much attached,.joined his prayers to hers, and iinjilored that they might be, made man and wife, and then the secret would bo safe. The Governor was not stern enough to immolate his child, and perhaps ii gleam of ambition may have Hashed across his mind, as in the event of the death of Louis XIV., the prison er would lie acknowledged, and iiis daughter sit on the throne of France. However, their nuptials were performed by the priest of the castle, in the dead of night, and ail were sworn to secrecy. From this union, two children were born, A w hisper of tills reaching tho ears of the Minister, the Marquis of Lou vois, the prisoner was immediately removed to tho Basilic for safer keeping, and tho mother, the priest uiiil the Governor-disappeared. The children were sent to Corsica, to Iw brought mi in Obscurity under the name of their grand father. Bon part, which was corrupted into Bonaparte. And thus, say tho legend.
