Kohr, Dumber . Tho news of Surratt's capture by our aiHhorite9 In Alexandria will have benn Unshed to jou long belore the receipt of XtU but tbe particular or' tain Me since the assassination, and ot his subsequent, earner, are not so likely to have found their way to America, and cannot fail to prove of interest to nil. As I obtain ail the Iho.s ol the tu'ie from the very fct-n authority, the correctness ol , the account ' wav be relied on.- . . Late In October the United States Minister at Rome, Oeueral ttufus King, received Intelli gence through various channels that a nimi named Watsou, serving as a private In the Papal Zouaves, was no other than Surratt, ono - of the accomplices In Mr. Lincoln's aassiua lion. From subsequently b aiued lnfoimntlou it appears that this lacl was well known to some of burratt's brothers-in-arms, and that others also la Rome were aware of his participation in the plot, and that the name he wan going under, was an assumed one. Notwithstanding this ho wr always made comfortable wheiever he wcut, supplied with money by sympathizers, end admitted to the companionship ot well known residents in Rome. - 1 tei.eral King, knowing that no extraction tr atj existed between the United States and Papal Governments, understood at once that souie oitlicultv would be met with In securing the prison of the man. ile went Immediately to Cardinal Antonelli, stated the cuse, and in ieturn recpived the Cardinal's promise that . should sufliclent pioof of SurraU's identifica tion be piven, under' the extraordinary cir cumstances the legal right of tbe ca?e would be ' waived and tbe prisoner surrendered. General King wrote for Instructions from Washington, and busied himself In obtaining the necessary proofs. ' On the 7th of, November, late at night, he received from Cardinal Antonelll a messa.ro con tain'tig tho information that Surratt, whom tho Papal authorities had secured of their own free v ill, awaiting yen, King's demand for his arrest, had escaped" from the Pope's dominions. It appears that as soon as the Pope was informed of tre cae he directed ' that, td prevent all doubts as to his dedre to see juntire done, Sur ra't should bs Imprisoned Until Uuneral King coulo be in -a position to claim him on proof -ot iuenity. This was done without' the United States .Aiiuiier'e knowledge or request, ani evinces a sincere desire on tho part ot the Papal authorities to wave technicalities where justioa and right demand satisfaction. Burratt was thrown into prison 1n a high tower oo the edge of a steep precipice, where a . ; narrow leoge, twenty-eight, leet below the window of the room in which lie was confined, '. w9 the only break to an almost perpendicular : drop ol a couple of hundred loet, . It seems he ' must havs trained an Inkling ut the reason for his ;ndden arrest and imprisonment, and dcter ' mined to make, hia escape.-. To do this he re .': quested permssion, altera good dinner and a smoke (the fellow was very comfortably kept), " to retire to the water-closet. , In Uiere he was out of sight ot the two Gen tries In his room, aid had time to spring out ot the window upon the ledge overhanging the " precipice. It is now stated, with what truth I '.. cancot say, that two men with tin outstretched - blanket broke the fall; at all events, in jumping ' ont he severely bruised bis back and shoulders, bnt "onwav. ihe Colonel or the regiment Tubed, the detachment on euard in "ent lna c"11cnte that within ' rte' lW of the discovery of hia escape, or - Ve tn'0'".ate9 from the time he first entered S . , e n-ciosei, niiy juen ana some omccrs fl patched in pursuit, but fruitlessly. . . - I 5 escape was made on a dark night, And 1 1 t'l'ij.-ii""" Knew every men oi tne gi-ouno. me If- itier was close at hand, and it was out of the 11 ,vvod it. ; i On receint of this information from the Car- linal. General Klnir teleeraohed to Mr. Marsh. United Slates Minister at Rome, tbe infor mation of Surratt's escape, described bis drees (he was trt ill la nniiorm), ana lequc-tca rnai an united States Consuls in Italian ports might be informed of the matter and directed to arrest the mam. This was done. General King then received Information that a person answering, Buxratt's description bad been seen at Sorrclll. Mr, Hunter, Secretary of Legation, immediately started for that place, but only in time to find fnat)3;77i'.i had passed through there, still in uniform, on hia way to Naples. This he tele graphed to Florence. Rome, and Naples, and returned. The next news obtained was fivui the Consul at Naples, who telesrapbed to General King tbe untortnnate in elligcnce that Surratt had suilcd fur Alexdndria, lie had been four days la ftapli'B, three ol which were passed in prL-ou, as tbe authorities tuspected him, and placed him n confinement till be claimed to be a Jiritinh subjec, and was leleased at the reqtiwt cf the finaliih Consul,, who, together, with Fome reideuta of Nuples, got up a. pubscrip tion enabllnir him to pay his passage tu Alex ' andria, ignorant, of course, of whom he was or bis antecedents. In Naples Surratt stated that he was a Caradlan, who had served in the Papal Zouaves for ten months, been imprisoned for tnsnbordinBtion, and escaped from confinement. Tbe brulnes on his back and uniform cou firmed his story, and he met with much sympathy. The Tripoli, a Peniusula and Orieutal Com pany's stesmer, on which Burratt had taken his passage, was to roal at Malta and remain there twenty-four hours. General Kins and the United States Consul both telegraphed to the Consul at Malta to arrest, Surratt. On tho arrival of the Tripoli in the harbor at Malta this oflicial applied to tbe British authorities for permiPMon to do so, and iniormed them of the circumstances ; butnotilbttaniliua,the urgency of the matter, and the impossibility of finding necessary proof witbin the time required, his. i plication for burratt's surrender WU9 retused on the ground of illegality a strange contrast to the conduct of the Papal authorities. Meanwhile, General Kinu was informed of thl3, end he immediately telegraphed to the Oonmil at Alexandria instructions to secure the prisoner immediately oa arrival in that port. To this Mi escape came back an answer from the tclearaph compauy that the cable was broken beiwi-en Alexandria and Malta, but that it would be for warded from the iland by the tiit steamer. The Consul fit Malta alw forwarded information t!) hts colleague at Alexandria, aud tooi utons which auurnuteed the letter bem delivered to lilni belore any persons were allowed to laud at Alexjdmtria. It fa somewhat extraordinary that General Kind's wesaire reuuentinar fturrut't's de tention should have b-en forwarded on tho same steamer as the man Muisclt. - , Ueiore ny pai-senaer were lauded Mr. Hale, Consul at Alexantlria, came on board with tli6 fecessary authority for Burratt's arrest, so cured him, and put bmi in jail, wliero ho now lies safely guarded, awaiting the arrival of a Urnttd KtuUs imbottf, on which he will be 4rannr;orted to Civita Vecchia, and thence to lfone lor U' lititicaiiou. Thus, after an extro ir uiury coQ.bin&tion of events, all tending to factiiiit Hurratt'e encape, after his escape from rion. aud bis good fortuuo ac i'aple, after the tlif.1culi.les thrown in the way of justice by trie i;tifiin nHthorities at Malta, and notwith vun(iii,j tbe iuopportune breaking of the tele f rT'hlo cable, the connpirator lies In the power of I sited Htafcs au'boritliis for tranaporlation ) ', I have not the slightest doubt his fc-sifai iu excite us lauch perplex it j s J i Jul bv pet oris uho have received lot li ia iib'a I mi ! ' that he 1 a biehly educnted 3 is of pooi appearance and manner, about j tntj-thrce year or- age, and po-secd ot tab nt and vivacity. . He came to Rome from Canada, with letters of introduction from the Lord Bibop ot Canada, studied for a month in au EJaHsh academy, and then enlisted in the I'apal Zouaves.. He was always well supplied with money by persons In Rome who knew his pre vious history. . . , . The Information which lod tt his capture was piven to General King by a French Canadian Darned 8t. Marie, wio had served in a regiment tn the Union army. St- Marie, who it appears is lo a quter character, knew Surrutt In Mary land, and recognized him immediately when he joined the Papal snrvicp. - Surratt never attempted to dUsulse the fact that he hnd been eneaed in the conspiracy; on the contrary, he spoke very freely on that snb iect to St. Marie, aud went the leugth of telling .him that Mr. Lincoln's assassination was a pre concerted plot; that be (Surratt) himself carried direct from Mr; Davis' Cabinet in Richmond the principal details of the plot to V ahinston, aud tnat the assassination was not only done In ao- ' cordance with the desires of tbe Richmond Cabinet, but by tneir directions and orders. St. Marie positively asserts that Surratt toll him this; but as he is not a person one would suppose to oe emiuensiy irusiworiny, u u wcu to accept the statement very guardedly. It is slranse that a woman Is at the bottom of nil these affairs; 8t. Marie-was led to betiay Hurralt through jealous, ihe latter having been successful in a love afftlr at Washington, in which both were .competitors for the affection ol the same persou. General rung nas eent the infoimer onboard the United States steamer Swataia for sare keeping, he having declnwl his 11 to unsafe in Rome on account of the rie sne of bU late eompaoions to aveo?e Surratt's Cppture on the man who betrayed him. The affair has created immense sensation among all American circles in Rome and Florence; little clse-ts f ooken of: and although all rejoice at (he man's capture, it Is pretty generally conceded that the authorities- at home will find some difficulty in knowing how to deal with him.

The loyal men are indignant, regard- ins; it aa an attack Upon Governor 1'iernont by people who are not Virginians, and have little if any interest in the welfare of the State.. The Secessionists regard it with glee, because it is an attack upon Pierpont, and they boast that it cannot injure . them, as the President, and the Suoreme Court will sustain tbem In any political action they choose to take in regard" to the reconstruction of the country." 1 " -' !" -. - T.HE "MORMONS.

The brother-in-law of Clam-Gallas, M. Mensdorf Pouilly, wa the second of the Field Marshal. M. Mensdorf was oppotcd to the choice of pl"tols, because General Clam-Galius Is notoriously a good shot. This, coupled with tho rank of the seconds, prove? that there was rather a desire to satisfy a point of honor than A thirst tor vengeance. This is the last blood fched on account of the late war.

C Sir A duty , to tu j self, as the Executive of the State of Loui siana, as also to the loyal and well-meaning citi zen , force upon me tne necessity oi aoure-sing this commnnica Ion. General Sherittan, both in iU report relative to ibe riots in New Orleans, and his more recent report of afl'aiis tn his deoartment. has availed himself of the occa sion to ciitlc'zotn somewhat harsh terms, ns I 1 think, iy official conduct ano acts. in nw jvpons nrsi reierrea tQt buhovh h viasmtla the city nt the time of the no ts, the fkner.tl was prolific In bis fault nndlng of my w ant of en er try, and while in his eeneril report ne disclaims all niterierence in pomicai maiwrs, et be ent to tar as to recommend mat i De irmovpit in.iii ritticp! hv what authoritv tbe (Jcreraldid not vouchaie to state; but I sup- rose he meant that I was to he decapnarea oy the President of the Unltod States, who has already injured me by addressing his communi cations to a subordinate officer of the State. The churee mado by the General of my want of energy on tbe outbreak of the riots, I think not only unwarranted by tne lacts, dui it appears to me a design to shift tbe responsi bility Iron bis own shoulders, who according to his own statement anticipated Dioousaea it the Convention met, and yet took no measures to preserve the peace. For my own part, I did not partlnipa'e in thefe apprehensions. I was at my office until 11 o'olock on the morn ing of the meeting of the Convention, and tboueh a lare crowd was assembled in and around the building, did not anticipate any violence was going to be committed. I left for another part ot the city on business, and was not aware ot the bloody atrocities until they wereended. - If I had remained, what could I have done ? My own life was in danger, and I snould have been- besieged by . the infuriated mob of police, as the members of the convention were, and perhaps taMen a victim to their ven geance, as it Is welt known I was sought for by them, and expression of regtet were beard that I should have escaped. Not satisfied with his fault-finding of my con duct on that occasion, the General travels out of the record, as I think, to attack the mem bers ot the Convention, and says there were "bad" men among tbem. The private character of the men composing taut Convention was not a subject of investigation by me, and I cannot see what bearina it could have had on the question of legality or . the objects of tbe Convention. 'Aocordlng to the opinion of the Rebel3 every Tnember of the -Convention was "bad," and ought to have been hung long ago. Perhaps the General lent too willing au ear to these reports, wbicb may explain his prejudice aeaintt the members of that body, who, what ever may be said, of them individually, col lectively framed a constitution which the late lamented President Lincoln pronounced to be the best that had ever lallen under his observa tion. ' ; - .. ... . ' In his second report the General, consistent wivh his professions to have nothii.g to do with politics, devotes a considerable chaoter thereof to a history cf the relations existing between me as Executive and the Legh-lature. He asserts that I made freduent appeals to him for military support, and he slates :-r"And the military assumed the position that politics was outside of the profession, and that it could not bo called on legitimately to serve the Interest of either side. " r-1 freely admit I have had several occa sions to Invoke military aid and support to enforce my acts as Governor, and for the protec-: tlon of the rtghts of loyal citizens. ' So lar the General, pt-rhaps unwittingly, pays me a high compliment tor the strength Ot my loyalty and the firmness ot my character. . Does the General do bimtelf equal justice in asserting his neutrality as contained in tbe extract of his report quoted? As there are but two political parties and principles in Louisiana, tbe one loyal and the other disloyal, was it not the duty of the Geferal to have protected those who were true to tbe Government? According to his own admission, the General .knew that tne Legisla ture, which was almost exclusively composed of ex-Rebels was makinar war upon me; that all, or nearly all, tbe authorities of the State were aeainxt me, aud yet the General did not regard it as his duty ."to rrve the Interest of either side." I can Rssn.e tne General that his Indif ference to. . thr appeals and applications of UDlon-men lor xelief of grievances, under a sense of his duty, no doubt to malutain a posi tion of ncutrtility, excited deep surprise and regret 'hi the breast ot many a loyal citizen. Had the General given aid and support on all occasions to the side of loyalty, themassacro at the Mechanics' Inwutute would never . have occurred. It was tbe ides, that the military would not Interfere that induced Mayor Monroe, to organize his police for that bloody day's work, . But giving tho General the full benefit of his absence from the city dunng the riol. it may be pertinent to inquire if he has displayed proper energy himself since that occurrence la wring ing the guilty parties to justice. The enclosed copies of correspondence will show what action I took in the premises, and I humbly think that it General Sheridan had sbown any portion of that vigor that has characterized his operations as a military oominauder m the 'field, in en forcing tho provisions of Genertl 0:der No. ii, Ue guilty parties would have been arrested and met with proper punishment. I do not arrawni General Sherldon on the charge of neglecting his duty or deliberately ciesicuing to let the parties escape:' but when the General travels, as I think, out of hU proper line of duty to attack me, he snould not be sur pi ii-ed that his own acts should undorgo a slmi lr scrutiny at inv ltands. - - - Mv regard and admiration for, his services ba the late war induced mc to refrain from taking uny notice of what I conceived to be an unjust and petulant attack on iae In his despatches concerning the riots. The renewal of it in his general report compels me to defend myself by this explanation. Trusting you will pardon this intrusion on y cur valuable time, and giving you full authority to make Mich use of this letter as you may thiuk proper, I have the honor to subscribe myself, v ith high respect, your obedient servant, J.

A Man Shoots a Woman Accidentally and Subsequently Becomes a Having Maniac. : ' Yesterday afternoon, - at . about 6 o'clock, a most ' distressing case of accidental sboo'.ing occurred at the laundry building,- No. 139 Hud son street.
