MviTEaioL's. W find tie following
paragraph in the local column of the Vicks
barg Whig, 0f Turiday :
" Two brothers, uaaiod Tift, were arres
ted here on Suuday, at the instance cf the
lrovo?t Marshal of New Orleans, charged
with burning tbe ram Mis-i.ippi. They
were sent out to J ickson yesterday, to Gov
ernor Feitus."
Cilice the above was received we leara
that Mr. Tift, one of the gentleiuau refer
rod to in the ahovc paragraph, arrived in
tuis city, yesterday, baviuq been dischar
ged from custody by the Court of Examin
ation before which Ih was taken. Mr. Lift
was tin1 contractor for the 31isi.-ippi, upd
applied the torch when only it was found
that it was necessary to save ber frGm the
euemy. 'ihis statement is corroborated by
other gHn'i'.cuieu from Now Orleaus, and
it led to Mr. T.t't's discharge from arrest ia
Mis-i-sipj i. Wt further leara tbat on tho
