ANOTHER REBEL MASSACRE.
Unionists Murdered in Platte City,
Missouri, by Rebels-The Town
Held by the Latter, who
Swear no Loyal Man
Shall Live in It.
Leavenworth, September 17. A bloody And
fear.ul tragedy occurred at Platte City, Mo.,
on Saturday last. The Radical Convention
assembled at, the church In Platte City on that
lay. There were about 100 men. Including
visiting deleeations. The Convention put In nomi
nation a full ticket, and adjourned about 4
o'clock P. M. Just before adjournment the
Rebels brought a band of music upon the street,
which played "Dixie," "The Bonnie Blue Flair,"
etc., and soon gathered about them a large
crowd of armed men.
A Union man, Thomas Dunnlgan, being very
noisy upon the street, the Sheriff went to him
and was in (he act of quieting him, when a con
stable named Callahun, of notorious Rebel
record, came up with a posse of men and pointed
out Dnnnigan, who stood beside the Sheriff,
saying, "There he Is take him," or words to
that effect. Immediately the Rebels, who had
assembled to the number of four hundred, com
menced brine upon every Union man upon the
street. Four were instantly killed and a large
number wounded. The bushwhackers drove the
Union men out of the town, and four hundred
Rebels now hold possession of it. A Mr. Heath
visited Platte City to get his brother's body, biu
was not allowed to cuke it away. They gave
him a pans to get out of town through tnei
picket lines.
The first shot, was fired by a Rebel constable
upon a drunken unarmed Unionist. Members
of the Convention who had left, hearing the
shooting, returned to Platte City, and while
riding through the streets were tired upon from
the windows of houses and saloons. Many
horses were shot from under the delegates.
Four men were killed and twelve wounded. The
pxtras caused great excitement here. Governor
Fletcher has been telegraphed to. He will be
at Weston to-morrow to attend a mass meeting
there. The Unionists have all been driven to
Weston. The Rebels are all around, and swear
no Unionist shall remain in Platte City.
Auotlur Account.
St. Louis, September 17. The Democrat's
(leaven worth) special says that after the ad
journment of the Plat te County Radical Conven
tion al Platte City, Mo., on Saturday, a drunken
Union soldier named Dunnegan made some noise
on the street, and nourished a pistol about.
Sheriff Ogden too.i his pistol away and told him
to keep quiet, which he did. A short time after
wards a returned Rebel named Callahan, with a
posse of ten men, demanded the surrender of
Dunnegan. A scuffle ensued, and pistols were,
freely used, resultine in the death of three or
tour, and the wounding of eight or ten men.
A number of delegates who had started home,
hearing firing, returned to town, and were fired
on by Callahan's party, and had several of their
.horses killed under them. Callahan fired twice
at one delegate, who was lying under his
wounded horse, and was fired a. in return and
killed. The latest accounts say that several
hundred armed Rebel hold Platte City, and
have driven all the Union men out of town, and
swear they shall not return. Great excitement
exists. Governor Fletcher has been applied to
for force to put down the mob. All the accounts
asree that Dunnegan was unarmed when Calla
han's party attacked him.

G. W. Chadwick, Vice-President of the
North River Bank of Hoboken, was arraigned
before Judge Brady, In tne Common Pleas,
to-day, on the complaint of Horace Partridge.
The prosecutoi sets forth that about the end

store for the purpose of buying same gold
watches valued at one thousand dollars; that
in payment therefor complainant was tendered
a draft on the North River Bank of Hoboken.
signed by T. Williams, and countersigned by
ii. W. Chadwick, Vice-President of the bank.
Before delivering the watches and accepting
the draft, the complainant sent George Fritz to
Chadwick, to learn whether the said draft was
food, and whether the North River Bank of
Ioboken would be responsible for its payment
Chadwick represented to Fritz that the draft
was good, and would be paid at maturity, it
being drawn against deposits in said bank. '
Believing these representations, Partridge de
livered the watches, and accepted the draft in
payment. At the maturity of the paper it was
resented to the bank, but no part ol it was
paid. The complainant therefore charges that
Chadwick was in collusion with the person who
piesented. the draft. Partridge says that the

AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
Capture of Braine, the Pirate of the "Chesapeake"
The Case before United States Commissioner
Newton.
On Saturday evening lastDcputy United States
Marshal Bagfey and Officer Cochen arrested
John C. Braine, the Confederate naval lieute
nant who seized the steamer Chesapeake on the
6th of December, 1863, while she was on her
passage from New York to Portland. Braine
was arrested at the Wall House, in Fourth
street, E. D. The warrant on which he was ar
rested was issued by Commissioner Charles W.
Newtua. The complainant Is James Johnston,
First Engineer of the Chesapeake at the time of
her seizure. Mr. Johnston was wounded during
the capture, and the assistant, Oran Shaffer, was
murdered.
The case of Braine will come up before Com
missioner Newton to-morrow morning at half
past o'clock. The nature of this case will be
seen by the following substance ot the affidavit
of the assistant engineer of the steamer Uliesa
prake, which Braine and his confederates seized
on the high teas, and who was shot in the chin
by Braine and his confedlrales, and was witness
to the killing of the engineer and the throwing
of his body overboard by Braine.
This affidavit sets forth that on December 5,
1803, the American steamship or vessel Cliesa
peake left the portot New York for Portland,
Maine; that the deponent was on board the said
ven-cl as engineer; that on the afternoon ot
caid day the prisoner, John C. Braine, came on
board with various persons, his confederates,
and they all remained on board as passengers,
until about halt-post 1 o'clock, when said
Biaine and said persons piratically and felo
niously arose and captured said vessel, and
murdered Oran Shaffer, second engineer, on his
post of duty, and ran away with the vessel, all
ot which was done on the high seas.
Deponent could not state which of the persons
fired the pistol killing Shaffer, but that Braine
commanded and assisted in the assault, robbing,
and piracy, and that Braine was commander
and leader of the entire party, and that Braine,
assisted by one of his confederates, thre the
body of Snatler into the sea.
TUe prisoner, wno was present, appears to be
au intelligent and cultivated young man of
about 27 years of ace, ahd under timorous ap
prehensions as to the result of his case. He
had on the lapel ot his vest a badge ot costly
ami beautiful workmanship, representing the
order of the Knights of Arabia, a new treason
able organization. Documents have been cap
tured, which were in Braine's baeeage, which
will soon be laid before the public, and will
contain names and movements that will astonish
the country.

GENERAL LEE'S APPLICATION FOR PARDON.
Intercut tug Correspondence.
Heapquarters Armies United States, Wash
ington, D. C, June 20, 18G0. General R. IS.
Lee, Richmond, Va. General: Your coramu-
ni ation of date the 13th instant, stating the
steps you had taken after reading the President's
proclamation of the 2!th ultimo, with the view
of complying with its provisions when you
learned that, with others, you wt re to be in
dicted for treason by the grand jury at Norfolk:
that you had supposed that the officers ana
men of the Army of Northern Virginia were,
by tlie terms of their surrender, protected by
the United States Government from molestation,
so long as they conformed to its conditions;
that you were ready to meet any charges that
might be preferred against you", and "did not
w lfeh to avoid trial, but that If you were correct
as to the protection granted by your parole, and
were not to be pro.ecuteJ, you desired to avail
yourself of the President's amnesty and proclama
tion, and enclosing an application therefor, with
the request that in the event it be acted on, has
been received and forwarded to the Secretary of
War, with the lollowing opinion endorsed
thereon:
" In my opinion the officers and men paroled
at Appomattox Court House, and since upon tne
same terms given to Lee, cannot be tried for
treason so long as they observe tne terms of their
parole. This is my understanding. Good faith,
as well as true policy, dictates that we should
observe the condition of that convention. Bad
faith on the part ot the Government, or a con
struction ot that convention subjecting the
officers to trial for treason, would produce
feeling of insecurity in the minds of all
the officers and men. If bo disposed, they might
even regard such an infraction of terms by the
Government as an entire release from all obliga
tions on their part. I will state further that the
terms granted by me met with the hearty ap
proval of the President at the time, and of the
country generally, ine action or Judge under
wood in Norfolk has already had au injurious
effect, and I would ask that he be ordered to
quash all indictments found against paroled
prisoners of war, and to desist from the further
prosecution of them."

THIRD EDITION
NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.
CAUCASING LAST EVENING.
ABSENCE OF MR. SCOVEL.
stecial despatch to the evening telegraph.
Trenton, N. J., September 18. Pursuant to
the terms of the adjournment of the Legislature,
on Tuesday ot last wek, the members of the
two Houses and of both political parties, came
flocking into town yesterday afternoon. With
the arrival of the early evening trains, nearly
every member was on band.
A call for a caucus of the Republican members
had been issued just after the adjournment, and
the holding of this was the first thing in order.
The caucus assembled at the State House at
halt-past 7 P. M. No business was transacted
save the counting of noses, and when this was
accomplished, it was found that Senator Soovel
was the only absentee, and that he had tele
graphed 1 hat he would surely arrive In the
mornino.
There was a general feeling of satisfaction
evident on all sides, the position taken by every
Republican member of the caucus of last week
remaining unchanged, and the election of Hon.
A. G. Cattcl as United States Senator being
considered certain, beyond a doubt.
The Democratic members evidently regarded
the subject in the same light Tney found
themselves In the unliappv predicament of
"Oi hello," when that gentleinau discovered
his occupation to be "gone." Rumor had it,
however, that they did not altogether give up
the contest, but that a select number ot them
met at the residence of ex-Senator John P.
Stockton, and there discussed the terms of a
protest which they were severally to sign.
This protest, of course, will declare the elec
tion of a Senator at the present juncture illegal.
On this issue they will go before the people in
November, and if successful in carrying the
next Legislature, they have only to hold a new
election, and thus contest the seat of the Sena
tor elected against their wishes and ideas of
legality.
The two Houses assembled at 8 o'clock in the
evening, but did nothing more than the routine
but-'ness before they adjourned until this
morning.

Washington, September 18.
Tlie Payment of llountles.
The Board appointed by the Secretary of War
to prepare rules and regulations for the guidance
of the Paymaster-General in the payment of the
additional bounty to soldiers and sailors, have
made their final report. This Board consisted
of (Jens. Canbv. Buchanan, and Doster, who
made their first report August 17, with special
reference to the payment of bounties to Indian
and negro soldiers, recommending it to be done
under the same rules and checks as have been
heretofore exercised in the cases of whites.
Their lat report reviews the system of the
Second Auditor's Bureau, Treasury Department,
where all bounties and back pay have been
awarded, and recommends to the Secretary of
War the establishment ot the same system in
the Paymaster-General's office, whore discharged
soldiers are to receive their additional bounties,
the widows and heirs of deceased soldiers apply
ing to the Second Auditor, E. B. French.
The form of application will be the same as
heretofore used, with the exception that the
number of the certificate issued in previous
settlement must be.given ; but where the claim
ant has not retained the number of the settle
ment, it will he useless to apoly to the
P.-piirtment for it, as it will not be given. If
the name of the soldier, regiment, company,
and time of death (if deceased) be given, the
Department can make examination and settle
ment. The number called for is only for con
venience. The Paymaster-General will make
arrangements to pay at least 400,000 claims.
The Second Auditor is expecting 250,000
applications. He has now tiled 13,000 claims
from soldiers' heirs and 32,000 from discharged
soldiers; these last will be transferred to the
Paymaster-General. Counting these claims filed
in the departments and those held by the State
agencies and claim agency firms, at the lowest
ct.lculation there are 150,000 claims tor the addi
tional bounty now awaiting in Washington the
action of the Department. Nothing can be
stated even of a speculative character that can
indicate when these payments will betrin.

CHAPTER V.
The Birth of Other Children Control Over Them
in Infancy Their Early Education Their Diet,
Medicine Transgression Repentance.
Years rolled on. More children boys and
girls were born to me, till I numberedf eight.
My husband's prospects brightened with each
addition to our household, but not suiticlently
so that I could afford to trust their education
to expensive schools; and I have lived to be
thauktul that such was the case. Gltted with
a useful education, I was well fitted to lay the
toundatlon for a more elaborate superstructure.
Above all thincs. 1 nrst taught mv children
obedience. However much I lacked judgment
and experience In managing the ailments ot my
children, here I was at home. I had been
taught to obey, aud 1 becamo convinced, from
wnai 1 saw in otner laminea, mat children
could, as they were trained to good or left to
run wild, make or mar the happiness of every
uuiue. ioi wr uuuue irom soeer lnaollitv to
be otherwise; my little Edith, from natural
sweetness oi temper; but there were six others
with every shade of temperament to oontrol or
to guide three girls and three boys besides
Soon alter the birth of the latter I could
atlord two servants, one In the nursery and one
in the kitchen; but do not tor one moment
imagine that my active exertions were at all
lessened by this apparent help far from it.
It 1 requested anything to be done, I had always
to see that it was so. My little ones learned
early to obey; even a babe of three months,
when I held up my ringer, and put on a grave
look, knew that such was the language of
reproof, though I spoke not. I early accus
tomed my iniants to go to strangers, and thus
relieved my selt of a great deal of trouble: not
that 6igns of rebellion dl.l not sometimes appear,
bnt I never allowed a child to become master.
Thin obedience was not of spontaneous growth,
but the result of constant though gentle drill
lug, if it may be so called. If a child wanted
anything not within its reach, and cried if It
was not given immediately, it certainly never
then got it. and was made to understand this.
Consequently, it soon became wise enough to
know crying was useless: This was great trouble
at first, but I had been so trained, and had seen
the good effects on large family ot brothers and
sisters, and thereiore I was firm too much bo,
my husband often told me.
At Brut our means were so limited that our
house was necessarily small; yet therd we re
mained till my sixth child was two year3 old.
But, however, small as it was, one room 1
spared to make a nursery. Consequently, we
had but one sitting-room, and that open to all
visitors who chose to call on us. Occasionally
we found this had its inconveniences, though
nothing to what it would have been if the chil
dren had been rambling over the house, from
attic to kitchen. The room was only a back
parlor, but it opened on to the strip ot garden
at the back. From its situation there were ro
"poundings" overhead, and no sliding down
biiluuters at the risk of broken heads or necks.
The garden was their own, and divided into
little patches, one patch being appropriated to
each ot the children, excepting baby, to whom
was conceded the right to meddle with each, as
became the reigning power in the house.
Two things I was specially drm in order and
neatness. "A place lor everything, and every
thing in its place," was conspicuously written
up in the nursery. There was a low cupboard,
with shelves for oooks, and another for toys, of
which there were plenty of all kinds. I never
thought money badly spent in expensive toys.
I remembered my own delight in them, and also '
in btory-books not sensible ones, I must con
fess, but "Mother Goose's Melodies," "Jack and
the Bean Stalk," "The House, that Jack Built,"
and others of the same kind, not resplendent
with pictures in gold and colors, but some
rough woodcuts, that seemed sufficient to con
vev the meaning of the story, which In more
than one Instance led to attempts at copying
thus early developing the imitative faculty.
Outside in the passage were pees for hanging
up cloaks and hats each peg with its owner's
name; and in the garden was a shed, wnere all
the gardening tools were deposited. I do not
mean to say that anything like continuous order
or neatness wa kept, or that constant reproof
went on m consequence of shortcomings; but
good habits wre given, if they were not always
followed. I frequently put away the litters
myself, saying kindly:
"Mamma likes to see the room tidy; let 119 all
help to make It so." Then the little fuet pattered
about, and the little hands were ready to be
Ufeetul; then a kiss was given to eaeh, and such
a ioytul clapping an d shout at the end of our
labor I
Then mamma must slug a song, or tell a tale,
or play at company, or do anything else that the
little elves asked by way of amusing them. And
herewas the great and powerful charm I held over
my children. In the play hours I became ono
ol themselves, so that their play did not often
become a romp though this I seldom objected
to, provided it was not too rough. And from
the voungest to the oldest I endeavored to make
each Independent of help. What they asked the
gel vants to do for them beyond the necessary
routine ot bathing and dressing them, wus asked
as a favor, not as a service demanded. Also
each child was made as-dbt the other as much
as possible, and with loving words and kindness.
It was somewhat a difficult matter, with a
large and increasing family, to give them eco
nomical yet relishing food. I can at this
moment recollect my honor, when a child, of
boiled rice, boiled mutton, aul mutton broth
u dislike originating in the manner of cooking:
for instance, rice, which was invariably boiled
to a paste when it came to table, and there
spunnuly mixed with sugar, nutmeg, and butter.
As a child, I observed that my nurse never ate
any of the mixture which, with potatoes and
boiled mutton so hard that one's teeth could
nut get through it was iavariubly the nursery
dinner three times a week. Then thre was
always a diet day, when no meat was allowed
only mutton broih. I can well recollect the
greasy mess, from which I used to turn to
bread and butter, and aieitwlth a relish, with
the stewed fruit which always made part of the
dinner. The very name of diet-oread now
conjuros up the whole scene of our diet-day
dinner.
Notwithstanding my own dislike to mutton
and rice, I gave them to my children, but cooked
in a very different manner ; and we had a diet
day, too, and a very good thing it is In a family
to put aside animal food loronedav out of seven,
merely as a matter concerning health. I should
mention that I very easily got my servants into
the habit, though it was not compulory upon
them to do so. My husband dined out one day .
in each week, and this gave ug opportunity.
I had three-quarters of a pound of rice
washed In boiling water three times, and finally.
In cold water 5 this was to take off the earthy
taste of the rice. Four quarts of milk, which
would cost a shilling, were destined for our
pudding. I had two deep pie dishes; each
would hold two quarts of sulk, six ounces ot
