'.' .- Death :ol Co tain otl ore ;T- Ap ' Dalcsby Jones. , j The. death of one oflha most distinguished officers of our army has been quickly followed by; that tf one-of the moat gallant teterans of our nayy. , Coramodre T. Ap Catesby Jones departed this lifd at his residence near George town; on Sunday. evening, the, .SOtU? May. i For a long, period ht$ 'livalth had . been iadj and his dwathha rbeen. constantly appre bended for the last Eve or six .months. His age was.sixty-ninev , t Commodore Jones was a native of Virginia, of Welsh: origin,1 and entered the navy in I8()5f being the foiirth en the1 list of our post ;iiptainl Throughout his whole careeVi he was distinguished' for gallanty energy, and fctiirin hU: profession, and for &IP the private virtue that adotn the srentleraan and the' officer. With ' these were combined a love lof rural aid agricultural lifea'nd pursuits, and those social and domestic tastes that rieret appear more attractive arid admirable than when attended wUh the stern heroic virtues of the warrior an&'tbje patriot. . .During our warwith England, our gallant little navy contained no; abler or" braver officer thau Lieutent-T. Ap. Catesby Jones! The event, however, of his life, in the bril liany of which other incidents illustrative of his heroic qualities are nearly' lost and forgot ten, was the battle ot the gunboats in Lake Borgne, in 181-4 oneof the most memorable and strongly contested affairs of the late war On that occasion, Lieutenant Jones with five small gunboats'and jets than two hundred m.fn fought, and for Some time held at bay," a British floiilla carrying some forty guns, and iinore than a thousand .armed men. Owing to soine of bu boats getting aground and others being borne 'away by the tide, the whole weight of the ponfliot fell upon the boat 'commanded by Lieutenant Joues and two;others. It was a terrible ? hand-to-hand and most sanguinary conflict. One-third of Jones' officers and men were shot down, and the British lost more than two hundred killed and wounded; The vigor and gallantry of this defence caused the British to pause in their' career, and enabled J ackson to coutinue and complete his measures for the defence of New Orleans. i ' An iuterestinrf incident marked the battle of the gun-bnats, which is doubtless quite new to many of our readers. In the ascent to our Capitol on the western front is an elaborate and highly finished monument, erected in 1805 to the naval "heroes who distinguished themselves in the war against the Tripolitans. rOne of the figures on this monument is the Muse of History engaged with a -pen record ing the gallant achievements of our navy. When, the city s was captured by the British in 1813, and; the Vandalic order was . issued by Admiral Cockburn to destroy the public buildings, this monument did not escape the general fury of the barbadian . invader. It was defaced and mutilated, aud an insolent young officer, Lieut. Pratt, of the British navy, pointing to the figure of the -IKstoric Muse, remarked that she was" about to record a lie, and, aiming his pistol, shot the pen from the hand of tbelinger. : In' the battle of the igunboats, this young officer coraman'ded the barge which first reached Lieut Jones boat, and, as he was about to board 4her, Jones shot him, and he fell mortally i woundeoj in the arms of his companions. ; One of the Britons quickly re taliated by firing his ;-biusket-at Jones, the ball from -which lodged in ' his shoulder,' in flicting a wound from which he never entirely recovered. " He 'still continued on deck ani mating and directing his men until he received another wound, when he was carried below, and the British took possession of. his vessel after every one of her men had been shot . -, " - ' Thb was only the crooning achievement of a career of gallant service and faithful. -devo tion to the honor and, rights of his country, which haveplacecr.the name of T. Ap Catesby Jones high on the roll of the heroes and pa trioof the i republic.-- Washington Union. A TalQ ol Horrors. Gov. McWillie.of Mississippi is charged by the Vicksbrirg Southron with' having pardon ed out of te penitentiaryfa man a&mea Dyson, who had assassinated another man, named Nelm, for" whit-h he vaj simply sentenced to the prison for fifteen years v.

The murder -of Ndlms was not his first taste of blood. He hadipreviously, in i a base and cowardly manner,! murdered a lawyer named Moss, 6f De Soto county,' by shooting him in the back, as Moss rode from him. He had murdered three ofhiaowh negroes, and one of them in a manner so horribly appalling as to cause the death 'of his own wife, This case occurred at hi3 own table, and the victim of his fiendish rage was j a woman. Taking offense at something the j woman did, or omit ted to do, while waiting at the table, he rose, drew a bowie knife and, with a single blow, ripped her open. His, wife swooriedf and when she awoke to consciousness he had cut the, negro's heart lout, and, with it upon his knife, he thrust it into her face She swooned again, and the result of her horror and fright brought j on convulsions,, froai the effects of which she soon died L" " ; IiOok IScforc ITou Kick.

Of course she insisted on her minister ta'kinr some of the links home-. to his family. He objected onaccount of not having his .portmanteau along. This objectiou was soon over ruled, and the old lady, .after wrapping, them in a rag, carefully placed a bundle in either pocket of the' preacher's capacious coat. Thus equip ped, he started for the funeral." While attending' to the solemn ceremonies of the grave, some hungry dogs scented the sausages, and were not long in tracking the m 'to the pockets dfthe good man's overcoat. Of course this was a great annoyance, and he .was several times under the necessity of kicking those whelps away. The obse quies at the grave completed the minister and congregation repaired to the church, where : the funeral discourse was to' be preached.'. ! - ' i ' After the sermon was finished, the minister halted to make some remarks', to his congre gation,, when a' brother,' who wished to have an appointment given out, ascended the step of the pulpit, and gave the minister's coat a hitch; to " get his attention. The- divine, thinking it a dog having, a design upon his pocket, raised his foot,-gave a sudden kick, and sent the good brother sprawling down th steps. - ; . ' - J-fiV ' . : ! "You will excuse me,; brethren and sisters,1' ! i ! . . . said the' minister, confusedly, and without looking at the work he had just done, for I could not avoid it.'

' From the North Carolina Planter., Hill-Side Ploitinsr K This is a subject' which should attract the attention of our farmers more than it doesw It is applicable ; to every one, for i there is scarcely a farm' in the 'Slate but has "a hill, small or large on iL The way bills are cultivated,-is ruinous to the land and the farmer; for they cannot be cultivated many yearvbe fore there are innumerable; gullies ., in them andjhen they, are said by thes owners to.be worn out, when in 4 reality, -they, have - never, properly,' speaking, ? been ; cultivated. .

New Or leans with its mixed and dissolute population, . needs a strong government. This j seems to have been generally resolved iipJn by the re spei table portion of the community. ! For this reason have they nominated Majj Beaure gard. He. .accepts the nomination upon the distinct and clear understanding that h is to be i'rndependent in all and every sense of the term, and only to be guarded by honesty, and justice, And equity in all things, and unto all men." The Executive Committee1 of the iode pendent parfty have given notice to all peace ful, and quiet citizens, that they may attend the polls on. the day of the election, (which was yesterday,) aa means will betaken to se cure them against outrage. (SVYe judge from , the nature of the call that the movement in favor.of Maj Beauregard, has grown out of the thorough disgust of al the respectable men at ' theh manner in which the affairs of that cityF i have been -managed. A gentleman just on from New Orleans says that for some, time murders and assassinations , have been nfe. Ahort time since, a dray mat) stopped -in front of a house, and on stooping-down to pick up something from-the ground, was .struck on the back of the head with brass7 knuckles by one of the leading bullies of the -Know Nothings, or "Thugs." ; His skull was broke en in and immediate death ensued. iThis en- - - - I !. . raged the friends of the drayman. Determined upon revenge, they waylaid the Know Noth , ing bully and assassinated'- him piercing' his body with nineteen stabs, either of -which would have provtd fatal.

She is overstocked witli material for : corruption 1, and ruffianism in the management of elections; j - ..... ,.l - i .:. and nothing can rescue ' it but the firm and decided stand taken by the steady and intelli- gent portion of '- the community. ; We. are very much in hopes that the prompt and firm position taken by the Independent partj with whom the Vigilance Committee seem to be identified, will serve the desirable purpose of preventing bloodshed. : i t Jest Kind O'VVkst AwAr.
