The most serious wouud is that which was inflioU''. bj a ball aulfiricj ir: the small of his back, and whieh is BOW lodged in the spine, paralysing the lowsr extremo^oe. Uo seemed to <x» rery rational, reiog- j ■iied all those who addressed him, and spoke fluently, but still with great eli de uca of exhaustion. Judge Uiestand was present, and in scribed what he eouoeWed to be his state spent couoejyug difloulty at the In stitute. Upon it* being read to him, the Doctor objee'ad to several parts of the statement. Dr Doette not realising a sense of approaching dissolution, it wai deemed uunccossary to take down any thing that pretended to be 4 "dying dec laration". ' While apparently lying ia easy indiff erence or anoonseiouaaesd, we were for cibly impressed by several remarks made by the wounded man. He inquired in regard to John Henderson, Jr., and was told that lp was dead. He paused for a moment, and reaaarked. "Well, it is a strange coincidence We were born on the same dar, and embarked in the same glorious cause. I had reason to be ap prehe(j»i»e—to fear > bloody attack— but not he. Strange " A gentleman etanding by his bedside ■«ked : "De you know me doctor ?" "Oh yee," wr.s the reply, "let the good -gork goon, that'* all." The only complaint made by the woun ded men wee that of suffering severe heat in the breast. The affair commenced it 12:45, and, lasting thr»e bourn, ended at 3:45. It did not end natil every negro and white giau in the Institute had been killed or wounded and captured, with the excep tion of three or four whites. As there war* about 100 men of both classes in the building, aud about 50 wounded out side, the total casualtiea will amount to 125, of whom 50 were killed or have einee died from their wounds. 'I bis es timate is moderate. '1 he military force was encamped at Camp Jackaon. five miles from the scene of the riot, and in the morning were told to be ready for any emergency.— They did not arrive until quiet had been restored, and it wa« only restored when there was nothing left to kill or maim.— It is certain that somebody was very der elict in ordering the troops into town. — ticn. Sheridan was not in town, and Gen. ltaird had command. 1 understand that one of his staff reported everything quiet when, at the time be was making his re port the massacre had begun and pro gressed for a qaarter of an hour. Hij dereliction should be investigated. The police impressed the baggage wagon* of an express firm in this oity to carry off the dead; one load, consisting of eight or ten bodies, had two living men at the bottom. They were wounded, and perhaps would hat* died; but they had life enough left iQ them to struggle for air. An eye witnaw, whose uame I can furnish, lays that a policeman mounted the cart, and shoving his revolver down bctweda the bodies on top, killed the poor fellows, with one shot for each.— The fiendi*h|thirst for blood which seem ed to possess some of the rioters was too LiUtal for even the imagination of a sav ago. Their eyes gleamed with it, and rolled in tb*ir sockets, their tongues pro trudod from tkeir mouths, parched and shriveled almost, and their voices grew husky from demoniac yells.— I have no doubt but that some of the policemen and rioting whites were wounded by member? of their own party, as somo of them seemed pos sessed with a desire to shoot at hu man beings regardless of caste, col pr or sex. No females were hurt, that I know of. Houses were pillaged but the outrages were mostly confined to the immediate vicinage of the In stitute. Ono man in a livery stable deliberately took up a rifle and kill ed a negro who ran through the door looking for a place of refuge. It is impossible to give you any jnore details than I have without go ing beyond the limits of my desire to furnish only authorative state ments.

TABLBS TURNED.—"Charley,'' baid a father to liia son, "why don't you get up early in the morning ? If you would get up one hour earlier, you would live just one hour longer every day; becauso when jou are asleep, you know nothing, can not play, and are just the same as if you were dead." In the evening he said : "Gome, Charley, goto bed, and shut your eyes, and sleep, and rest." "0, no, father," said Charley.— " Let's play ; let'» live a little longer whilst we can; because, you know, when we are asleep wo are just the same as dead." —-T wo little urchins whose parents paid more attention to the battle, than the training of their children, were in the habit of seriously annoy ing their.ncighbor3.who lived close by while at play in front of their house.
