Dear Brother Last night, at half past 10 o'clock, we ran ashore in St. Helena Bay about 90 miles from the Cape of Good Hope while making for the latter place to get au increased supply of coal. Since going ashore we have worked hard to get the vessel off, but our efforts, so far, have been unsuccessful. We have now commenced to take out her loading. We are iu a very snfe p ace, notwithstanding our awkward situation, for the country, along the shore, is settled by Dutch families, who are friendly and willing to reuder us any needed assistance. Up to this date we have bad a very fine passage. The oflicers are not to blame in the circumstance of the vessel having gone ashore, for we have had gome very foggy weather. ("apt.

Mr. Booth, whom he had robbed of his money and marc, after discovering his loss, immediately proceeded to Waldron, the county-sea- t of Scott County, some twelve miles and got some friends to start in pursuit, under the lead of Colonel Hawthorne. The party soon tracked the fugitive, and when near the place of his last robbery' scattered, the better to find, and, if possible, to surround the desperado, he having left the road and taken to a densely-woode- d swamp. -- e one-roo- m dis-tau- t, Colonel Hawthorne was the first to come upon him, and on his refusing to surrender, prepared to open fire on him. But, unfortunately, twice his pistol snapped, when Morgan rushed upon him, wrested the pistol from him, and knocked him down, render- ing him senseless. After his recovery, Col. Hawthorne rejoined his friends, and the party then engaged the services of an old with his hounds, to track the fugitive. He was soon discovered and surrounded in an impenetrable thicket. Being asked to surrender, he replied by firing upon the party. The latter returned the fire, and a shot shattered his knee. Again he was asked to surrender, but fiercely refused, and swore he would die first.' of Another volley from the shot-gunthe assailants broke his thigh. Again a surrender was demanded, but with no better success. Another volley stretched him dead. When the party went up to where Morgan had fallen, they found every chamber of Hawthorne's revolver was empty, except the two which had missed fire. On examining the body, the party found it covered with scars from shot and knife wounds, giving evidence that the decensed had been in many a close and deadlv struggle before. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, and a verdict rendered in accordance with the circumstances, after which the party returned to Waldron. bear-hunte- r, s 'A little fellow who was worrying over a piece of shad at dinuer, yesterday, demoralized his mother by asking, ''Mamma, where did God find all the bonis to make the first shad ofP '" PkODUCE; STORE.
