DAILY OBSERVER. JOHNSTONE JONES, ' Editor and Proprletoi. Sunday, May 18, 1873.. Singula 'Incident A Minister Warning Kellogg. From the New Orleans Herald. On Tuesday; "while th e police reii force ru en ts were m iwt en ng Vrt District Dvecinct.-and at the "Gov." Kellogg was in attendance to witness their preparations, and fire their hearts for the fray, a tall, well-dressed, clerical looking ieoge -presented himself at the" door of -the station, which was guarded by two Metropoli tans with muskets. The gentleman inquired of the sentinels if he could ee Governor Kellogg. Th y crossed their muskets and told him "No; he couldi not enter.''" He persisted jn his demand, declaring that he had important business with th6 Govern or and must see him. A corporal approached him and asked him his name. ' "I am James S. White, a minister of the gospel, and a citizen of Attaka pas. .1 live with Mr J. B. Pearce, who is intimately acquainted with Mr. Kellogg." "What do you want with the Gov ernor ?" "I want to vani him to cease from making war oh our people, and to frivpress him with a proper sense of his duty to protect the lives and homes of my countrymen from the Rorrors of a war ofjnvasion." "Gness the Governor don't care to see and hear you,'' was the remark of one of the "metropolitans. "(Inly let me be TaceJo face with nim and I may rescue him from a terrible periTOiiek hangs over him." The guard manifesting, tio very great respect for the reverend gentle man., a crowd having ;isseui bled in the meanwhile around theMoor, Mr. White proceeded in an earnest and emphatic manner to say : "Jell Mr. Kellogg, then, that I am a grandson of a; map who was opce among the most honored in (he land that he was a distinguished member, in" that- august body, of which he (K.) was a very humble member the Senate of the United States. His name was White, of Tennessee. Hugh . L. "I am prompted to warn Mr. Kel logg by a sad and terrible experience of war. I lived in Nashville with my father and mother during our civil war. Returning to my home after an absence-in the country, when the Federal troops occupied that town, I found it the scene of one of the most infamous of all the deeds of and vandalism in that unhappy country. My venerable father and mother had been murdered by the soldiers,- a-vnV our once happy home desolated an(f abandoned. Shocked and infuriated by the-horrid specta cle. I rushed madlv into the Con fed- erate lines, enlisted and .. fought through Uhe war, and participated in tts roanv revengeful aud cruel scenes; and now as a contrite and sincere Christian, I feel the great enormity and sinfulness of all such conflicts. "I deemed 'it my du-ty to come here a'n4 -admonish Mr. Kellogg of the grave responsibilities assumed by him in inaugurating a strife of arms among brethren who should Jive to gether in peace and amity. "If, you will not let me see him . deliver thesg my words tp him' and say they are from JamesTS. White of St. Mary." ; IPhe sol env-h tone, fearless and dig nified bearing of the reverend gentle man, produced a deep impression upon his auditor's A ' well 'Known eitizeh, whyhad overheard him, then stepped up, and, offering his arm, the two walked down St. Charles street.- Last Interview Hetw'een Judge Chase and Senator Sumner.

Marsh, had defaulted to the amount of $5,200, and had at tempted to commit suicide by taking poison, though he was still living at last accounts yet his condition is considered critical. Mr. Marsh is about 45 years of age, of temperate habits, a strict member of the Bap tist Church, and enjoyed thef nil corw fidence of the entire community in which he resided. We hope that this rumor may turn out to, be un founded, or at least greatly exaggerat- ed.

C, in 18'39, was invited to participate in the ceremonies of decoratin g the graves Of tho Union dead at Magnolia Ceme- erv. Ho wrote in answer a letter embodying sentiments of forgiveness and fraternity with the Confederates, and was taken to task for it by Mr. J. E. Williams, president of a nation al bank in New York, to which he replied, reiterating the sentiments expressed in the original letter. He said : ;'It is that true patriotism requires that the close of a great civil war should be. marked not by proscrip tion or disfranchisement, but by man ifestations of sincere good-will, espe cially from the successful to the un sdccessftiK and by generous recogni tion of whatever was really brave and carnesj, anu nooie in mosu woo fought on the failing side.

The Magnolia lavish es its Derfumes as freely, the pleasant breaches as softly, and the warm suti shines its brightly over Confede rate as over Union graves.

By the Sottthcrn and Atlantic Iilne. WASHINGTON. The Former Vienna Commissioners Washington, May 17.-In reply to the association concerned in the af fairs of Gen. Van Buren, late U. S. Commissioner to YJenna the .Secre tary of State says that within a stone's throw, of that quarter of New York, is a restaurant kept by J. Southern, who states and affirms to the author ties of that, section and has so talked to three proniinent men who have made affidavits to the fact, thatGen. Van Burcn came to him and offered him a place: in the E xposition at Vi- enna if he would agree to divide pro fit8.Y either the Presideut nor Mr. FisB entertain any doubts regarding the truthfulness of this assertion, and if there had been doubts of this, there is other testimony even strong er than this. Mr. Fish also says that the statement that Van Buren's assistant commissioners were ap pointed on his (Fish's) recommenda tion is utterly untrue. Van Buren was allowed to select his own men and every one of the old board was appointed at Van Bu ren's request. McElrath especially was Van Buren's friend and adviser, yet when McElrath was requested to investigate the charges pgainst Van Buren, he telegraphed to the State Deputy npon investigation that -the charges were true and asked not only Van Buren's but his own suspen sion. The fullest confidence and discre tion was reposed in Van Buren, and no removal would have taken place, had not the President and Secretary Fish been certain of the necessity of such action. Mr. Fish was Van Bu ren's friend from th'e outset and did all in his power to advapce his ap pointment, and fecli as keenly as any man to-day the disgrace brought up the country. In reference to the editorial in yes terday's New York Post, reflecting on Van Buren's removal, Mr. Fish says the efforts of the press will be useless in attempting to. -drive the depart ment from its manifest path of duty. The most voluminous evidence is in possession of the Government and may necessitate its publication. Pub lication will undoubtedly vindicate in the fullest manner the action of the Government.

There is very little change ih the aspect of affairs at the colliery. The shaft has been sounded and the indications are that the water is rising rapidly.
