OBITITARY
OX'S MORE AGED SERVANT OF CHRIST GONE 1103 IE.
Died in Portland, Chautauque county, New
York, AprillSth, Rev. DAVID HULBURT, at
the age of 94 years. He was father of Chauncey
Ilulburt, a well known Merchant of this city.
Mr.
C Hulburt was born in 1;70, at Middletown,
onn., and raised in the faith of his Puritan fa
thers. At the age of eighteen, the family removed
ato Rutland, Vermont; soon after which he made
public profession of religion, covenanting with
the Baptist church, and early felt impressed with
the idea that it was his .duty •to seek to prepare
himself-for - preaching the gospel. The thought
at first was at variance with his inclinations anti
Supposed insufficiency for the work, and the
struggle in his mind. continued for some year or
two. At length, he yielded, as he stated, appro.
priatmg to himself the language of Paul, ..Wo is
me, if 1 preach not the gospel." After pursuing
a theological course, he accepted in 1803. an invi
stion to settle as Pastor of the Baptist Church of
Christ in Rutland. There he successfully labored
for about ten years, when he accepted a call to be
come pastor 01 the Baptist church at Fort Ann,
"Washington county, New York. His ministra
tions there were blest with special visitations of
the Spirit, and the church received a large in
crease iu i s membership. Sometime after the war
of 181d-15, with a number of his congregation, he
removed to what was then known as the Genesee
Country, N. Y., and settled in Warsaw. As the
popultition increased, a flourishing church was
;gathered, and for some years he pleasantly minis
tered to them. At length, becoming somewhat ad
-vanced in years, he felt it prudent to retire, and
.13e removed to Chautauque county and became for
a time co-laborer with Rev. Charles La Hitt.
ne settled down in Portland, traveling
some in the interests of Foreign Missions and
preaching occasionally until within a few months
of his death. He had been heard to say, that he
believej he had baptized over one thousand per
sonserln his advanced years, he seems to have
enjoyed the consolations and hopes of religion:
calmly and peacefully waiting for his change.
33efore he departed, he made the simple request,
- that on the stone which should mark his resting
place might be written, ''l have fought the good
jight—l have finished my course.
Excepting one or two, Mr. HuLramir is sup
posed to have been the oldest of all the living
ministers in the country., "Our fathers, where
are they? And the prophets, do they live for
ever?" No. If some few of them live compara
tively long, yet, at last, in the language of the Old
Testament they ''fall asleep, "or of Paul, , thej
aanish 'heir course." Thesend cometh, and their
reward is given them at tffe close of the day.

NEW THEATRE IN NEW YORK. —A private letter
from New York says : —Another theatre is to be
opened on Broadway. Mr. George Wood, whilom
manager of Wood's Theatres_ in Cincinnati and
Louisville, having disposed of those theatres, has
assumed the management of
,W allack' s Old Theatre
at the corner of Broome street, and it is now being
placed in nrst.class condition. All the papier
made ornaments which have for so many years
adorned the walls have been removed, and the
dome and ceilings are being elaborately frescoed.
The auditorium and the entrance from Broadway
ire being freshly painted. A new drop curtain,,
new scenery, new stage furniture, and properties
are to be added, and the house newly carpeted
throughout. The theatre will open on Monday,
May second, with the renowned Escomateur Sim
mons, who recently appeared at Concert Hall, in
your city, who will play a brief engagement, after
which the regular dramatic season will commence.
Mr. Wood has associated with him Mr. H. Ashley,
who, until quite recently, held the position of
" Confidential Business Manager" at Niblo's
Garden here, and the New Chestnut Sheet Theatre
of your city. Under such capable management,
we predict that this establishment will once
again enjoy as great popularity as whcm under the
management of the veteran )ankee W. Wallack,

•Aprii
:M.—Twenty-five miles
above Grand Ecore, from the left bank of Red
River, the rebels openeo on the transports Clara
Bell and Rob Roy, firing twelve shots into them.
A force of 1,000 mounted ikifantrysaid to be the
rebel Gen. Green's command—came down in front
of the battery and poured volleys of musketry into
the steamers, which were getting the worst of it,
when a small gunboat opportunely came up and
shelled and silenced the battery, and compelled the
rebels to fall back. Gen. A. J Smith's Corps (16th)
subsequently arrived near the scene of action, hav
ing crossed over from Grand. Ecore, marched up
the right bank of the ricer, and again crossed to
punish the enemy. They captured two guns and
seventeen wounded prisoners, who say positively
that the rebel General was killed by a shell from
our boat.
This is another signal victory. The rebels left
,ne hundred and sixty of their dead on the field,
lauglatered by the terrific fire of our gunboats and
ransports in their hurried retreat.
Their slightly wounded were taken off.
FROM PORT HUDSON.'
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune.]
PORT Hunsox, La., April 2, ISM —The rebels
yesterday made a dash within our picket lines,
and a brisk skirmish ensued without importantre
sults to either side. A detachent of the I 1•,.ttl I-
linois Mounted Infantry, and a m
section of Barnes' l s
Battery. ,21st New York, with one gun, had been
out mending the line or telegraph to Baton Rouge,
and ob -their return were attacked by a superior
'force of rebel cavalry and driven In. Simulta
neously an attack was made on our pickets by an
equally large force, and the detachment on the
telegraph road was then cut off and flanked. The
cavalry came in by wood roads, but the piece of
artillery was spiked and left, and afterwards car
ried off by the enemy. In the several skir
mishes we lost one killed, four wounded and
six prisoners. The loss of the enemy in killed
and wounded was much greater. 'We took two
prisoners. one of them an officer.
Gen. Ullmann's division marched some miles
outside, but on the approach of onr infaary the
rebels left without hazarding a fight The rebel
force was probably Wirt Adams's cavalry from
up the river, numbering nearly a thousand. They
were well mounted and well equipped.<
The attack yesterday was probably made to dis
courage the cotton-planting that had been 'Com
menced to some extent on the plantations near us.
Guerilla warfare is now an organized system on
the Mississippi, from New Orleans to Memphis.
The guerillas say that they will destroy all the
stock and materials on the plantations worked by
Government lessees, and they will do so without
doubt wherever there is n ot.a respect able military
force to oppose them. Bow large a portion of our
effective military strength may be diverted to this
purpose remains to be seen.

[From the N. 0 Picayune, Aprlll4.)
We have been permitted to use a copy of 71ii
Jim-meg Star, of Monterey, Mexico, April 1,
which contains the following important intelli
gence:
This time last week Governor Vidatirri was
saugly ensconced In the gubernatorial rawasion in
this city, with an army reported at some 2,000 or
more men, in apparent security, with avowed
hostility to President Juarez and the General Go
vernment, declaring his ability to defend the city
from attack by any force that might be sent against
it by the President. Our citizens not doubting the
oft. repeated assertions of the Governor, were
somewhat taken by surpise, on Saturday morning
last, to wake up and find that he had, under the
cover of darkness, with all his forces, skedaddled
for parts unknown.
Before leaving, however, he carried all the
available artillery, some twenty-selen pieces,.
with him, tumbling over and otherwise disar
ranging the pieces which he was compelled to
leave. On this and the following day tnere was
not beard the sound of bhgle or other martial
music in our midst, and our beautiful city pre
sented the appearance of peace and happiness—
not a vestige of ruthless war remained. The ab
sconding Governor, it is supposed, made tracks
fur 'I eras. lie was last seen at Moreles, the artil
lery covering his retreat.
_ .
Col. Brown went to work with a hearty will to
replace and put in fighting trim toe pieces left be
hind by the Governor in Ins hurried exit.
On Monday, at noon, the belie of the various
churches rang their welc6me announcement of th.v
arrival of a portion of the President' sforoes under
Col. Ortega.
On Tuescay, Gen. Negrete, Secretary of War,
too Gen. Manuel Quesada, Manuel Doblado, and
Gen. nti 11 on arrived in this city, the three latter
accompanied by their divisions.
A large cavalry and infantry force left here on
Wednesday evening, to go in pursuit of the fleeiog
Governor, and should they be successful in over
hanlng him, we will doubtless have to chronicle
another change.
A report was current in town yesterday, that
Cot. Quiroga, in command of Gen. Vidaurres
forces and the pursuing portion of the President's
army had had an engagement but we did not learn
the result of the contest.
TEX EXECUTION OF TWO DESERTERS AT
I FORT WARREN.
[From the Boston Herald of the 3d Inst.]
The extreme penalty of the military law was in
flicted on two young men yesterday afternoon at
Fort Warren for the offence of desertion, they hav
ing been tried, convicted and sentenced to death,
alter a long and thorough trial by a General Court
Martial, which has been for some time in session
at the rendezvous for enlisted men, at Gallonpe's
Island.
The two men. Charles Carpenter and Matthew
Riley, alias John Roach, had been placed in close
confinement in the northwestern bastion of the
fort, they having'previous to that time been con
fined with the others who were in custody at the
fort for a like offence, and their sentence was com
municated to them.
n order to give the men all the time his orders
allowed him and to enable a reprieve to reach the
fort, should one be granted, both men haying pe
titioned for a commutation of the sentence, Major
Cabot deferred the execution until a quarter before
two o'clock, and about one o' clock five companies
at the fort, all in full dress, formed on their cora. ,
pany parades. Soon aftergthe line was formed the
the column marched throbgh the sally -port and
round to the terre- plain, on the north side of the
fort, where they formed three sides of a square.
In marching in their position in front of the
troops the prisoners had to pass the graves which
had been dug for the reception of their bodies, and
while doing so each turned his head aside to view
them, but beyond an unnatural palor in the faces
of both any one not acquainted with the circum
stances might have supposed they were merely
going through with a parade.
The finding of the court martial and the order for
the execution were read to them by Lieut. Ray,
who asked them if they wished to say anything,
but each replied "No." Father Moice then
prayed with them, after which he kissed them both
and finally left them. The Provost Marshal and
the two sergeants of the firing party then went to
'them and took off the manacles, and then their
hands werepinioned behind and their eyes ban
daged with white cloth. Each was then requested
to rest on one: knee' and this was also promptly '
done, neither partyexhibiting the slightest ner.
vousness. The Provost Marshal and his assist
ants immediately left them, and without a mo
.ment's delay the orders "Ready," "Aim,"
"Fire," were given by Lieut. Batchelder, and the
two men fell at full length backwards dead, the
body of Riley being pierced with, seven ballets, all
in the region of the heart, and that of Carpenter
with six, all but one In the same locality.
Surgeon Severance at once went up to the bodies
and pronounced them dew after a very brief ex
amination, and the tiring party was then with.
drawn, and the battalion was flanked and marched
past the bodies es they lay on the ground.
Itshould noebe omitted to state that besides the
battalion 'present at the execution thirty-seven
prisoners, deserters from our army, all but about
a dozen of whom are now undergoing punishment,'
these dozen not yet haying been eenteneed t were

COURTS
QT.-AI:TER SESSIONS-3 urge Thompson. —This
morninr- '
William H. Martin was put on trial
charged with forgery. The bill of indictment
avers that the defendant "unlawfully did utter and
publish as true a certain false, forged and counter
feited certificate of consent in case ot a minor to
volunteer as a soldier in the Army of the United
States," which said false. f.rged and counterfeited
certificate of consent is as follows, that is to say :
• 'Consent in case of ino—l, Martinohle r, do
certify that I am the fa M ther r of John Moh -M ler; that
the said John Mohler is le years of age, and I do
leereby freely give my eonsent to his volunteering
, as a soldier in the army of the United States for
the period of three years.
"Given at Franklord, Pennsylvania, the 29th
day of February, 1E44.
tM AI MOHLER."
There were five such papers.
The witnesses against the, defendant were annm
ber of boys of to 16 years of age, who had been
enlisted through the defendant, who it is alleged
signed as witness to the signature of the names of
the parents to the above form of consent.
One of the boys testified that when the boys con
cluded to enlist they agreed to give their age as 18
years, and when they gave that age to Captain
ardley, at Frankferd, the Captain smiied. The
boys then got $23 of the $l5 Ward bounty, through
Mr. Martin.
The parents denied signing the " consent," and
one of the boys testified that some of the boys signed
their father's name, and Mr. Martin signed as
witness. When one of the boys said he was going
to sign the consent" himself, Martin said it was
all right.
According to the testimony of the boys, some
who were apparently not more than 12 and 11
years of age, had no difficulty in passing the sur
geon's examination at Frankford.
The defence alleged that the defendant was em
ployee by the Committee of the Twenty-third
Ward to secure recruits in order to avoid a draft in
the Ward. The boys presented themselves and
passed the surgeon's examination, and then took
the blanks to secure the signatures of their parents.
The boys brought the papers back signed, as they
alleged, by their fathers, but there was no witness,
and Mr. Martin believing all was right and ~that
the twitness had 'been omitted by mistake, placed
her own. name, not intending any fraud. The
character of the defendantwas represented to be
very good.; he is a. member of church and in good
standing. On trial.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE /NPITTSBURGH:
(From the Pittsburgh Despatch.] -
On Fricay morning afire broke out to the - ware.
house of D. Wallace, situated at the corner of Pena
and Wayne streets, resulting in the total destruc
tion 01 the building and involving a loss of upwards
of 864 1 ,ct0. The warehouse was leased. by Mr.
Wallace, and was filled with valuable goods, a
portion owned by other parties.
Mr. P. C. .R siners, marble cutter and sculptor,
occupied a portion of the bulding fronting ouipetua
street. He had a large stock on hand, tther
with a quantity of finished work. His loss Will
amount to OW, on which he had an
* insuraiii.a3 of
2,000.
Mr. B. A. Colville, marblei dealer, occupied a
building adjoining. fronting Wayne street, and
stock and. finished work, to the amount of four
thousand dollars was destroyed. He has no in
surance.
The empty barrels were owned by the Ardesco
Oil Com pany,
toran d were valued at Si, 000. They
were insured S6:,000, divided equally between
the Hartford and North American Comanies.
This amount, with the sum which will accrue front
the sale of the hoops,will fully cover the loss:
J. W. Taylor, Tobacconist on Penn street, owned
twenty hog.sheais of the tobacco destroyed, and
v. - as insured to the amount of 53,000, Of the
balance Mr. McGinnis owned three and Mr.
Johnson five hogsheads, on which there was no
insurance. •
Mr. Wallace's loss will probably reach 535,000,
on which be has an insurance of V. 0,000, divided
between the following companies: "Peoples," of
Pittsburgh, 55,000; "Arctic," of New York,
55.000; "Continental," of Philadelphia, $.5,000;
"Monongahela," of Pittsburgh, 55,000. Two
valuable horses, belonging to Mr. Wallace, were
in a stable in the rear of the room occupied by Mr
Colville, and it being impossible to extricate theni,
they perished in the flames.
The buildings fronting on Penn street were for a
[intent imminent danger, but through the active
exertions of the firemen the flames were confined
to the building in which the fire origknated. Con
siderable damage, however. was done by-water,
Messrs. Bender A: Co., druggists, at the corner of
ex
Wayne and Liberty streets, were damaged to the
tent of 51, WO Messrs. Klopfer .5.7. Co., furni
ture dealers, on the opposite side of Wayne street,
also sustained considerable damage, but are fully
covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to
ha re been the work of an incendiary, as there had
been no fire during the day in the locality in which,
it was first discovered.

The Paterson (N. J.) Guardian says: Some few
years ago, Judge Crane of Morris, New Jersey,
visaed Paterson. and stopping at the house of J.
P. Iliantocn, retired to bed as usual. In the
morning early, Mr. Hmatoon was alarmed by a
great noise. as if a drunken man was tumbling
about. Jumping up, he found the judge
in the hall, sadly convulsed, trying to
come too and struggling and tumbling about.
The strong smell of street gas in the house
divulged the secret of the condition of the old gen
tleman, who had on retiring to bed, left his gas
het leaking, and when awakening in the morning
e had lust reason and strength enough leftto tum
ble out into the hall, where when found by Mr.
Huntoor., he was more than half dead. During
the morning, however, he recovered and left,.one
would have supposed, sufficiently warned of the
danger of carelessness in the future, in reference
to this matter. Two weeks ago, Judge Crane
started for the West. Yesterday intelligence ar
rived to the. effect that he was dead—had been
killed by an accident precisely like that which so
nearly terminated his career years ago, at- Mr.
liuntoon' s. It appears from the letters received
that he went to his room and locked the door, as
is usual at the hotels. In the mornitfg a strong
smell of gas was discovered coming from his lodg
ing place, and upon breaking open the door he was
discovered to be dead—strangled by the gas as he
lay.

A REMARKABLE MILITARK COMPANY. —Mein

Hrosier, and three brothers named Harper, who
are also bfothers-in-law of the captain. There are
two brothers and a cousin named Shaffer, and a.
