[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.]
WASMNGTON, Dec. 27.—The reports
which reached here last evening of a riot at
Alexandria, between whites and negroes,
in which five or six on a side were killed,
were greatly exaggerated.. It appears to
have been a free fight; both sides were to
blame, and both were severely punished.

Escape of a White Boy from the Indians.
The St. Louis Democrat says: "Lieutenant
Thomas E. Sallee, of the 13th Missouri,
Cayalry t communicates the following deeply
interesting statement, from Mound Station,
Colorado Territory:
"'On the 27th of November, 1865, a small
boy, supposed to be about twelve years of
age, of rather dark complexion, black hair
and eyes, came into a ranche (near Mound
Station of the overland stage line running
from Atchinson, Kansas, to Denver City,
Colorado), about oue hundred and seventy
miles east of Denver. He could speak very
little plain English, but by signs could be
easily understood. I (being in command of
the military at Mound Station) on hearing
of his arrival, immediately brought hits to
my station. He is now here, and is learn
ing to talk very fast. He informs us that
the Sioux Indians have had him captive for
many years, but he don't know how many.
He don't know anything about his parents,
but supposes that they were killed by
the , ndians at the time of his capture. He
neither knows his name nor where he was
captured. He left the Indians on the 24th
instant, eighty miles south of this place, on
the Republican river, three thousand in
number. He luckily made his escape on a
pony, but running his pony to death the
first night, he was then compelled to take it
afoot for three days, arriving at the ranche
on the evening of the 27th. All that he had
to eat after leaving the Indians until he
arrived at the ranche, was one crow that he
found dead, and a piece of a dead ox. He
says the Sioux Indians have two white
women and several negro captives now.
He is a good looking and intelligent youth.
"'I take this method of informing the
public of the unknown's whereabouts. We
are now under marching orders and will
march to St. Louis, Mo., to be mustered oat
soon. I think we will be at St. Louis be
tween the Ist and 15th of January, 1866. J.
will bring the boy with me, and if any of his
relatives (should he have any) see this and
come and identify him, they can have him;
if not. I expect to take him home with me
(to Mercer county, Missouri,) and educate
him. All editors who see this will please
let it find room in their columns.

EDUCATION IN IBELAND.—The thirty-first
report of the Commissioners of National
Education in Ireland, for the year 1864, re
cords an increase of schools to the number
of 100 within the twelve months, and the
addition of about 12,000 in the daily average
attendances of pupils; 30,994 is the average
number on the rolls. Besides this, the se
?
tivity of t e commissioners is attested by
the erec on of fifty-one national school
houses, omprising seventy-one separate
school rooms, also two model school houses,.
the whole offering accommodation for 7,260
children. Seventy-four schools have been
struck off the rolls during the year, and
seventy schools have been ta suspended."
An extensive series of statements appears in
the report, showing the application of State
pid to new schools, the religious denomina
tions of managers, among whom the Roman
Catholics figure highest, and local appro
priations of schools.
MURDER AND RIOT.—A Swede, named
John Johnson. who has honorably served
in the army during the whole war in the
43d Illinois, and was discharged only a few"
days ago, was attacked in a low doggery, at
Galesburg, 111., one night last week, by a
despg&do named Culver, for his money.
He as terribly mutilated, and lingered
only a few hours, when he died. When it
was known that he was dead, the rage of
the soldiers knew no hounds. They com
pletely "gutted" the doggery, destroying
everything they could lay theirhands upon,
and the proprietor barely escaped with his
life. A coroner's inquest is now being held.
Culver is in custody.
[SE BROOKLYN TRAGEDY.
Further Particulars of the Affair-
Statement of an Eye
Witness, &c.
[From to-day's New York Herald.]
The Russ-Dayton shooting case still at
tracts considerable public attention, and
from the very full published reports, both
parties in. the affair have enlisted sympa
thisers. _
William H. Russ, the chief actor in the
affair, is still at the Brooklyn City hospital,
in Raymond street. He occupies the double
position of patient and prisoner, as he is in
charge of and constantly watched, day and
night, by officer Powers (whoarrested Russ)
and officer Layton, both of the Forty-third
precinct police. On yesterday he was visited
by numerous friends, among whom were
Mr. Corlies, of the Mexican Loan Agency,
57 Broadway; two young gentlemen, whose
names did not transpire, who, it is said tra
veled with him in Hayti; Miss Dayton's
brother; Mr. Smith, a city surveyor, of New
York, and wife, with whom he boarded
eight or nine years; Mrs. Tift, and Russ'
housekeeper, who is now taking care of
Miss Dayton.
With all these visitors he conversed with
some reticence, and directed his conversa
tion to the shooting of Miss Dayton, at all
times requesting his own death and that of
his inteaded victim. To an inquiry whether
he still desired the death of Miss Dayton,
he replied he did, but with the qualification if she wished to live as much as he was
led to suppose he had no objections.
He confessed to officer Powers that he had
determined to take the life of Miss Dayton
ten days before, he attempted the act, and
for that purpose purchased one of Smith &
Wesson's No. 1 pistols.
The hespital surgeon pronounces the
wounded man's condition as favorable; but
-facts seem to warrant a different supposi
tion. A portion of the bullet is still in the
brain, the left eye has become bloodshot,and
yesterday afternoon a swelling on the left
side of the neck, indicating inflammation,
was quite visible. The sight of the right
eye is destroyed entirely, and it was thought
from the discharge from it that it is running
out.
Last evening Miss Dayton's condition was
considered favorable. She retains all her
faculties and converses some with her
friends. One of bullets is still in the
brain, and so far has baffled the skill of her
physician to extract it.
Mr. Hugh Allen, agent, doing business
at No. 1 Coen ties slip, residing at 60 Harri
son street, and one of the eye witnesses to
the affair, states that at dusk on Saturday
evening, as he was proceeding up Clinton
street, preceded on his side of the way by
another gentleman, on the opposite side of
the street he noticed a lady and gentleman,
walking along apparently very quietly side
by side. As he looked there was a report
of what he thought first was a detonating
cracker or some other invention salutatory
of Christmas. The first report was followed
by another, and yet the parties walked
on side by side, as if nothing
of unusual importance was trans
piring, which circumstance settled the
impression in the mind of Mr. Allen that
they were a youth and perhaps a young
lady, the former of whom was celebrating
the advent of Christmas in a noisy manner.
A third report unsettled this conviction,
and he hastened to the parties on the other
side of the street, and on looking this time
he noticed that the young lady lay prostrate
on the sidewalk, and the man had at that
time proceeded about ten feet further. Mr.
Allen noticed him on the instant raise a
pistol to his head and fire. The flash was
plainly visible, and made the two witnesses
to the strange scene fully acquainted with
its nature. The man, after tiring the last
shot, returned and laid down beside the
body of the young lady. He raised upon
his elbow, however, immediately after and
delibe - ately fired a shot into the body of the
woman. who. for the first time throughout
the affair, gave a slight scream. Imme
diately becoming aware of the nature of the
scene that was transpiring in their view,
Mr. Allen and the gentleman near him ran
across the street to the assistance of the in
jured parties. On reaching the lady she said,
"I am bleeding; take me to No. 165 Clinton
street." Referring to her companion, she
said, "He is William H. Russ, of No. 57
Broadway." The whole transaction did not
occupy more than thirty seconds.

DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN.—We
regret to announce the death, on yesterday,
of Harman Van Beil, Esq., at his residence,
No. 521 Franklin street, of heart disease.
Mr. Van Bell was formerly a highly re
spected dry goods merchant in this city, but
of late years he had been acting as interpre
ter in the Grand Jury Rooms. He leaves a
large family, and very many friends, to
mourn his decease. His age was 67 years.
The funeral, which will be largely attended
by the Masonic Order, of which he was a
member, will take place Friday morning.
BITRGLARY.—The hardware store of Mr.
John M, Fisher, northwest corner of Pass
yunk Road and Ellsworth street, was
broken into and robbed,this morning,about
3 o'clock. The burglars first tried to get
into the cellar by breaking through the cel
lar door, but failed, after splintering the
door pretty badly. They next went to the
bulk window, which fronts on Passvunk
Road, wrenched the lodk off,and then broke
a large pane of glass. They took away
skates to the value of about $6O.
AGAIN PARDONED. —Colonel Robert M.
Lee, who was convicted some time since,
and ? sent to the Eastern Penitentiary for
complicity with fraudulent claims agaidst
the Government, has been pardoned by the
President. He was convicted on a similar
charge, several months ago, and Isentenced,
but was then pardoned by the President,
thus making a second conviction and par
don.
THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS.—The Chris
tian street Hospital, on Christmas was
beautifully arrayed with evergreens and
some hundred inmates partook of a fine
dinner. By invitation of the, ladies who
prepared it, the Rev. Dr. Washburn, of
Trinity Church addressed the company.
THE Ar.msvrotrsE.—The population of the
Almshow3e, 'ea reported to the Guardians of
the Poor, yesterday, is 3,221, an increase of
345 over the same period last year. Of the

males. In thnsane Department there are
575 persons.
STILL ON A STRIKE.—The morocco finish
ers of the city are still on a Strike, and at a
meeting of the Trades' Union Assembly,
last evening, it waa reported that there was
nip. DAILY EVENING BULLETIN: PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 27, 1865

going.
A HArrnsoran CHRTsnies PansENT.—
The "Maennerchor," one of our oldest
vocal societies 'were surprised last evening
at a soiree at National Guards Hall t by , the
reception at the hands of their lady friends of
a beautiful andrichly embroidered silk flag.
The ladies appeared on the stage dressed in
white; the flag was presented by Miss
Quidnan in a neat and very appropriate
address, which was responded to by Mr. P.
M. Wolsieffer, one of the founders of the
Society, and their . present Director. This
was followed by a hop, and the evening
passed off most pleasantly. The flag was
made by the well-known firm Horstmann
Brothers dr, Co. Its cost was $1,300. The
banner has a white silk ground on one side
with the God Apollo, richly embroidered in
silk and chenille, and with the eagle and
the American and German flags surmount
ing it—the other side is on blue ground
with a beautiful laurel and oak wreath, and
the inscription—"lnstituted December 15th,
1835. Presented to the Maennerchor by their
lady friends," and the motto of the Maen
nerchor in gold—" Wir lieben deutsches
Frochlichsein and aechte deutsche Sitte."
ANOTHER Disarm., DAY.—The little ones
have not had much opportunity, thus far,
of enjoying the Christmas holid.ays. More
disagreeable weather than we have had
since Saturday night, could not well be
conceived. The fog which hung over the
city during yesterday, became so dense last
night, that it was impossible to see beyond
a few feet. This morning early the heavy
atmosphere cleared away, and there was
every prospect of a bright, clear day, but
the sun neglected to make its appearance,
and during the morning we have had a
succession of showers. About nine o'clock
this morning, a very pretty rainbow was
visible for a short time.
SusPrcrous.—This morning about six
o'clock a colored man named Rosewell
Ringgold, was arrested at Sixth and Queen
streets, on suspicion of hating stolen a
cloak, quilt, ctc. which were found in his
possession. The articles were evidently
stolen from some vessel, as the prisoner
was observed previously going in the direc
tion of the Delaware. Ringgold was com
mitted by Alderman Tittermary.
FIRE IN THE TWENTY-THIRD WARD.—
About 9 o'clock this morning, the roof of
two cottages on Bridge street, White Hall,
Twenty-third Ward, were burned. The
buildings are owned by Henry Garsed and
Charles Crenshaw, and are occupied by
'Thomas and John Little. The loss about
$3OO, and is insured.
11011IIIICG THE LAw.—The office of Ald.
Tittermary on Passyunk road, below Chris
tian street, was entered at an early hour
this morning, by forcing the front door,
and a valuable overcoat was carried off.

A REMINISCENCE of PRI' C. lION.—A
French letter writer says: "I mentioned
the celebration of the Empress's Ate at
Compiegne on the 15th of last month; and
the numerous bouquets of exotic flowers
with which her Majesty's guests presented
her. M. de Nieuwerkerque, it appears,was
fortunate enough to have been able to offer
a treasure of no slight artistic value, it be
ing one of the few water color drawings
extant by Prudhon,, not only bearing his
signature, but being a portrait of himself in
the costume he wore at a ball given by the
First Consul. The story of the discovery of
this trovraille is curious. M. Luquet, a
well known ronnoisAcur, was wandering a
few weeks ago along the remote Rue Mouf
fetard, when suddenly his attention was
arrested by a drawing lying among some
old fashions in the window of a barber's
shop, the name 'Prudhon' being daubed in
red letters at the corner of the sketch. We
all know how scarce an authentic Prudhon
has become of late years.
"Assuming a tone of indifference, M.
Luquet inquired whether cette image la
term for a child's penny print) was for sale.
'No,' replied he of the razor, in the act at
the moment of imprisoning a grizzled gen
darme in the shroud-like shaving cloth;
'that is, it belongs to my father; he will be
at home about six.' Punctual as the clock
of Notre Dame was our amateur. 'Papa,'
said the barber, 'it's the gentleman for your
bon honme.' The old man could hardly
totter along. 'lt ou want to buy my Prud
hon sir; for it is a Prudhon, 6 I can answer
for that. He himself gave it to me one
evening I had curled his hair a Titus. for a
ball at the Tuileries. You see, sir, I was
his hairdresser. and likewise the great M.
David's.' This long preamble sounded
ominous to the anxions ears of M. Luquet.
'Sell my Prudhon ! Well, I never thought
of such a thing. You see, I ant half-blind
and cannot see, so I save it to my grandson,
Adolphe, to amuse himself with and it is a
miracle that he has not snipped it with his
scissors.' But,' replied M. Duquet, 'one
might give Adolphe something he would
like better.' Aisplendld Zouave balancing
on an elastic in the window of a toy shop I
opposite suggested the idea, which he
mentally prayed might prove a tempting
bait to M. Adolphe. 'Certainly, and as you
are a connoisseur, I would prefer you hav
ing my Prudhon; my grandson will only
lear it.' How much will you sell it for?'
'Oh, it is an original, and signed, and that
is something. Would you think it too
much if I asked fifteen sins !'"
A WITTY FRENCHItIA. ON LIFE INSU
RANCE.—The witty and versatile Edmond
About has just published in Paris a volume
on Life Insurance (Les Questions d'Argent,
Assurance), in which he treats a dry statis
tical subject with a pleasant play of fancy.
In one curious passage he concludes that for
every man whose life is insured . in France
there are seven thousand insured in Eng
land; and yet there are certain circum
stances that would render the practice of
life insurance of particular advantage to
Frenchmen. For example, under the French
law of succession, the proprietor of a landed
domain, a mine or a house of business, if he
desire that it should survive him, would do
wisely either to be content with one child—
in which case he runs the risk of losing him
and having none at all--or else to insure his
own life for an amount sufficient to buy out
the interests of his other children. How is
it that in France so few among the many
who ought to do so insure their lives? "Do
not ask me," says. M. About, "I cannot tell
you. Do not ask them; they would be still
more at a loss for a reply. How can you
e rn)
expect people to think of th of their
wives and children when th y hardly pos
sess the instinct of self-pr ation? The
Frenchman lives from day to`day; he knows
not for whoia friendly societies have been
COURTS
founded; be has heard say that there is a
fund for deferred mini/Ries for his old age;
but just try andliersuade him, if you ean,
that he will not be, always young."

FULL PARTICULARS OF THE RIOT

From Washington.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.]
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—1 t having come
to the knowledge of the State Department,
that articles contraband of war were being
shipped from New York to Maximilian's
government, peremptory orders have been
despatched to the United States District
Attorney to institute rigid examination;tind
seize all such articles wherever found.
Strong efforts are being made to induce
Congress to allow the General Government
to assume the war debt of the several States.
The Secretary of the Treasury is opposed to
this measure. He is also opposed to re
pealing the tax on incomes.
The appointment of Hon. L. D. Campbell
as minister to Mexico, is not satisfactory to
the friends of the liberal party here. They
want a more positive man.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—The Alexandria
( Va.) Journal, in giving an account of the
ri there on Christmas, says:
Wiliskey flowed in streams from many
restaurants, and from some it was dealt out
as liberally to the colored people as to the
whites. Early in the morning it was ob
served that all the young "reconstructed"
gentlemen were well armed.
Rioting commenced at an early hour, and
by one o'clock P. M. had assumed such
fearful proportions that the Mayor found it
necessary to call upon the military author
ities for assistance to suppress it. Three
companies of Hancock's veterans were
forthwith ordered out and proceeded to
arrest every one found engaged in rioting
and disorderly conduct.
Many persons had been seriously and
dangerously wounded before they appeared
on the scene of action.
It was found necessary to arrest between
fifty and one hundred of the ringleaders of
the various disturbances then going on
throughout the city, who were mostly sent
to the slave pen; where they were compelled
to remain during the remainder of the day
and night. Some of them were yesterday
morning released, while the more guilty
are still in confinement.

It seems that the first reports were exag
gerated, as the Journal says some 50 or 100
colored men were badly beaten; but
, so far
as we have been able to learn but two were
so badly injured as to preclude the hope of
recovery. During the day a most unpro
voked riot was reported to have occurred at
Chapel Hall, where; a number of colored
people were holding a party.
A white man by the name of Mitchell
who is said to have participated in the riot,
was seriously wounded in the head, and
at I o'clock this afternoon his death was
currently reported.
The Freedmen in Plinsissiippi.
It appears from documents in possession
of the Bureau of Refugees and Freedmen
that a recent order issued in Mississippi by
Major Thomas for the adoption of the most
stringent measures to prevent insurrection
among the Freedmen, was merely to quiet
the frightened citizens by indicating
the readiness of the Bureau to
take prompt" steps for the preservation of
order in any event. and not because there
were any fears on the part of the Govern
ment officers of an insurrection in that
State. Col. Thomas, the AssistantCommis
stoner, says the instructions to Major Rey
nolds were not of such a character as to
warrant this order.
