DONIORS• TO DEAD REBELS.
IIon•John Covode to Governor Fenton.
BOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, D.
C., Jai teary 17, ,186&—To Governor Reuben. E.
Fenton, ..41bany, New York—Eiln: I have read with
sorrow , and astonishment your letter recom
mending national honors to the rebels whose in
vasion of the North was stopped by death in
battle on the field of Antietam. You say:
"A i strong local and individual feeling in the
neighborhood of Antietam and other parts of
211 ar3ianC, naturally engendered by the invasion,
may have created some indifference in regard to
the Confederate dead, and an indisposition to see
them.buried side by side with those who died in
defence 01 our nationality. But it is confidently
liLlieved that no such feeling pervades the breasts
ct the American people, or the surviving of
art! Foldiers of the Union'armies.
"When we recall the generosity and moderation
that marked the conduct of the people, the gov- .
eminent and the army during the war, and the
magnanimity that presided at its close; when we
n member that our countrymen are noW engaged
iu the work of reconstructing the Union ou the
basis of universal freedom, and with an earnest
desire to restore to the Southern States a pros
perity infinitely greater than that which slavery
and rebellion conspired to destroy it Is im
possible to halve that they would desire to make
an invidious distinction against the mouldering
remains of .the Confederate dead, or, that'. they
- Would disapprove of -their being caret ully_gatti-,
ered from the spots where they fell, and lard to
rest in the National Cemetery on the battle-field
of Antietarn.•
"Conquerors as we were in that great, struggle,
our stern disapproval of the cause in Which they
fought need not forbid our admiration of the bra
very with which they died. They, were Ameri
cans, misguided, indeed, and misled; but still our
countrymen; and we cannot remember them now
either with' enmity or unkindness."
I have read , these paragraphs twice and thrice,
but a dimness other than the film of age obscures
them to my vision. It is in vain that 'I have
wiped the spectacles of au old mans and , en
deavored, deliberately and clearly, to see in
your words a Justification for the reconamenda,
Lion they make. Two forms come between my
sight and the printed page. They stay there and
will not move away. One of them is the figure
of my eldest eon, Colonel of the Fourth Pennsyl
vania Cavalry; as bravo, devoted and generous a,
boy as ever filled a father's heart with pride and
madua mother happy. ,
Het covered, with his regiment a retrograde
movement of a column of our. army; under
Sheridan, in June,‘lB64, fighting every rod of Cab
way. Ire fell badly wounded. ; , .His men eu
deuvored to carry him off; but hotly, pursued,
severatitt"them were killed or disabled. He told
his Ma 0.. to leave bim and save himself and the
command, end try to make a stand on the next
height, abd there gain time for the great wagon
train ahead' to escape to the James river. My
son was,laid upon the grass beside the highways
—his men obeying his orders to returh to their
ranks`and leave him, with the dead and wounded
of his regiment', to await capture.
Thd , 'rebels soon came, up, and, as I have been
told, shOt again when he lay helpless on the
ground, stripped him of his sword, money,
watch, Mints and eh:010g, and, left bim naked, to
die. An old 'eiiitiied'vromatf,ifying in the neigh-,
borhood, brought water, to, drink while he
was dying. 'The text 'day he was buried lu her
Governor. Fenton, the figure 'of this murdered

your recommendations of national honors, to the
rebel dead, that I cannot see init reason' from
which fathers and mothers who lOve , their chil
dren,-ebould not instinctively 'shrink, and which
should not Shock patrlota who have lovid their
country and have made sacrifices for it.,
There is, eir, another figure which makes filthy
reading through my old spectacles. My youngest
eon ' a private in the Fourth -Pennsylvauja
travttlry,lrhO' entered the armyebefore he winf.fif

immediate neighborhood, all the sons. of my
neighbors, all objects of interest and care to me.
Aft( r paSEleg from one ,tion of imprisonment and
cruelty to another, they were finally imfnured,
with thousands f other unfortunates, in the
death t4ll of Audersouville.
\ Eighteen mouths of hunger and nakedness, ex
posere to the scorching sun and the winters
it oozing, did their work on these stalwart and
brave nun. Many of them died Idiotic, some of
them feebly insane—all the victims of a system of
starvation and cruelty planned by demons and
executed by devils. son's bodily vigor and
tesoluteness ,pf spirit curried him through the
horrors of AntlersonviHe with life left in him—
with hardly anythieg more. He is home again
with his mother, and I have just received a letter
from her urging me to "try another doctor, for
he grows worse." But the energetic, intelligent,
hopeful, self-reliant, brave boy, who left my
house to fight the enemies of his country, has
not c returned to me, and he never will return.
I think you will find that, in common with me,
hundreds of: thoimands of loyal Men, whose
hearts yet .bleed with wounds received in the
wicked war the slaveholders' wagred against the
nation's life, • have been shocked and outraged
by your recommendation to do hotor lo the au
tor of their sorrows and the workers of their
country's woes.
Had you served in the army, either in person
or thrbugh a son, and, presented your offering of
patriotism to your Country on the picket line or
the line of pitched battle, you would never have
made the heartless .mistake you have Made in
what your biographer, Writing your life, will call
"The Antietam Letter." How much I wish you
had imitated the manly and sympathetic be
havior of Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania, a
soldier' and, a statesman, who thus repelled the
proposition to mingle the rebel with the Union
tlead ender the Antbstam monument:
"The custom has ever prevailed to specially
honor those in death who won special honor by
meritorious liveti. The monumentsreared toile
mt mbry of departed worth bear ample testimony
that our people have not been unmindful of this
custom. But were such memorials ever erected
for men Whose actions were infamous, and who
perished in an ignoble cause P Who would glo
rify the treason of Benedict Arnold with such
monuments as have arisen to the menrory of
Washington? Who would dare to insult the
loyal heart of this nation by proposing to lay,
side by side, in the same sepulchre, the body of
the assassin Booth and that of Abraham Lincoln?
No loyal man would take the heartless
Wirz and the other demons that
presided - over • the prison dens of
cruelty, starvation and death, and the exe
cuted conspirators against the nation's Illus
trious chief, and deposit them in the same tomb
with the patriotic men who sacrificed their lives
in battling for 'the right against wrong.' Yet,
it is proposed that the loyal States construct
cemeteries for their heroic dead, and then dese
crate Atm by the burial therein of those who
prosecuted against the country a warfare which,
for its diabolical ferocity, is without a parallel in
the history of civilization, and even to erect
monuments to their memory. Carry out this
purpose, and what inducement can be hereafter
offered to the loyal citizen to fight against trea
son, when he feels assured that should he fall in
battle, the traitor's grave will be honored equally
with his own?
"The cause of the Upion was a holy one, while
that which opposed it must have been its con
verse. To one side alone the glory belongs.
This was not a war of nations, but of treason
against loyalty. It was a contest of rebels, who
would have drained the life's blood of the govern
ment which had nurtured and protected them,
against its patriotic sons who fought to save it
from destruction. It was a war carried on by
the defenders and promoters of oppression
against the friends and lovers of liberty and their
country's integrity.
"While there is no reasonable objection in
giving decent sepulture even to the rebel dead,
those who consider them deserving of honorable
testimonials may give them. It is our duty to
render honor only to whom we believe honor is
due." •
It is with grief, Goverpor Fenton, that I write
this letter to you. The subject is painful to me.
But there mite on my hearthstone, and there lies
in my village graveyard, and there broods in my
heart a controlling reason why, since the ap
pearance of your Antietam letter, I should regard
your entrance in a National Republican Conven
tion, a candidate for office, as an intrusion to
which the survivors of the Union army. and the
relatives of its dead and wounded, should sternly
object. Yours, &c., JOHN COVODE.

Yesterday the case of the Commonwealth vs. Wil
liam J. Ovens and Daniel Stokes, charged with the mut ,
der of Colonel Wm; 'fiddle, in May last, was pnt upon
trial. The facts of, the case have been repeated y
given in detail to the public- in ourloeal columns at the
time of the occurrence, and in our legal columns dar
ing the trial of William ilomkieth, at the last Oyer
and Terminer, in whose case it will be remembered
the jury were unable to agree. A jury was obtained
from the regular venire, and was sworn. Mr. Dwight
then stated the allegations of the ease: which must
be yet familiar to every ono, and the examination of
witnesses was begun.
Coroner Daniels, aflirmed—Testifted that he held an
inquest over the body of Colonel William Riddle on
the 3d, 6th and 7th days of June last, the body being

thirty-five degrees to that line; and another a little be.
hind this, directly in the medium line, one inch long,
and both partially healed; there was a braise behind
the right ear, and two others a little behind that, but
they were not severe; beneath the first described
wound the external table of the skull was found
cracked; but the body and internal table of the bone
were not fractured; a quantity of matter was beneath
these wounds, about the membranes of the brain,
which were inllamed;death was caused by the inflamma
tion of these membranes and the matter collected
upon them, resulting from the injuries on the head;
the violence which inflicted those blows caused that
inflammation.
George Bradley, sworn—Testified as follows: I re
member the evening of this occurrence at Mr. Ovens'
place; I was at the corner of Twentieth and Hand
streets, when I head a scuffle eller at Mr. Oven's; I
ran across the street and saw Mr. John Riddle at
the other end of the room with four or nye men
around Lim, and Mr. William Riddle near the front
door; John Riddle had an ice pitcher in his hand and
Mr. Ovens was lying on the floor, Mr. Hornkieth had
hold Jof William Riddle and struck him on the
back of the head a couple of titres with a piece of a
cane; then William Riddle started to come out of the
door on Twentieth street and a boy named Connor
struck him on the bead with a brick; William Riddle
fell back into a chair and Rornkleth Struck him again'
with the cane; I didn't see how Mr. William Riddle
got up but the next I Bow of him he was out on the
Twentieth street door sill and his brother John fol
lowed him; then a man named Kulp struck at one of
the Riddles, but whether he did strike or which one
he struck at I couidn't say; another man took Kulp
away; the two Riddles stood out on the door step, and
Colonel Riddles who was bleeding, asked for his hat
and some man went in and got it for him.
Cross-examined—At the time I saw Ovens lying on
the floor. John Riddle was standing near, swinging
the pitcher round in his hand, and William
Riddle was at the other end of the
room; Connor was standing outside on the
door step when be throw the brick; I went
with him all the time, and hav'nt seen him
since I testified before the Alderman; I don't know
that Mr. Ovens knew that Connor and I were there
that night; when Hornkieth , was striking Colonel
Riddle he was still at the door, and Ovens was on the
floor. about the middle of the room, between the two
parties; llornkieth struck him on the back of the
bead before be fell into the chair; the stick was bro
ken over him by liornkieth after he had fallen into
the chair; from the time I went there until I saw
Colonel Riddle go away I did not see Ovens take' ny
pert in the fight.
James Bill, sworn—On this night, as I was crossing
Hand street, in Twentieth, I beard a noise in Ovens'
place. bud when the door opened, I saw men inside
lighting; Ovens was lying , in the middle of the floor,
and John Biddle was standing in a manner over him;
1 next noticed a scuttle in the back part of the bar
room, in which I only noticed Colonel Riddle; he ap
peared to be in a stooping position; some one had a
cane in his hand, and 1 heard a blow, as if it bad
struck a'picture on the wall; I then saw Colonel Rid
dle with the ice pitcher in his hand flourishing it:
he text came towards the front door, as if he was
pushed from the inside, and the ice pitcher came af
ter him, and hit him in the back of the head;- I then
saw a man in the door. striking at Colonel Riddle; I
could'nt recognize anybody in the bar room except
the Messrs. Riddle and Ovens; the man I saw striking
I took to be Bornkietin I think, before I saw the man
strike Colonel Riddle, I saw some parties rush i Ito
the bar room from the street; 1 heard Colonel Riddle
cry "police" and ' murder" several times in the door
way, and immediately the door was shut; directly
John Riddle came out.
Cross-examined—l did not see Ovens do anything
at all in the quarrel; I know him well; I also know,
Stokes; I did not Bee him at all there.
John Riddle, sworn- Colonel William Riddle was
my brother, I observed Dr. Shapleigh at the post
mortem examination of his remains; I think he was
jest past his twenty-fifth year; on the evening of the
7th of May last I went to Mr. Ovens' with my brother
who was then in ordinary health, 60 far as I knew: as
we entered the room, in the neighborhood of eight
o'clock, we found Mr. Elornkleth and Mr. Stokes in
the bar room, Stokes behind the bar and Hornkietit in
front of it, talking to him; my brother asked if this
was the assessor's office, and Mr. Stokes said it was;
my brother asked if Mr. Ovens was in, and Stokes raid
be was; my brother and I went Into the back room
and found Mr. Ovens drinking with a Mr. Gamble:
my brother asked if he was Mr. Ovens, 'and he said
yes, that was his name; my brother said he had come
up to see something about the tax upon our mother's
property, saying that the paper left at the house had
been made out in his name instead of his mother's,
and he wanted to know whether or not it was neces
sary to have a new paper made out in his mother's
name, as the property was hers; Mr. Ovens replied,
"0, 1 see what you want ; you want to get off from
paying your tax; you want to go beck upon your
mother, and I think you are a d—d loafer;" my brother
repeated his question, and Mr. Ovens repeated his
reply; my brother then proposed to leave, as Mr.
Ovens did not seem or want to understand our busi
ness; we left the little room and went into the bar,
and were followed by Ovens and Gamble: Ovens
brought with him the paper my brother had given
him and went behind the bar with it; as I was about
to open the front door, my prettier said, "Mr. Ovens,
will you let me have that papery" and Ovens replied,
4'No, ill keep the paper and will fix you;" as he said
that he came around from behind the bar and put his
hands en my brother's breast in a menacing way. and
said again, "You arc a ci—d loafer;" I said my brother
was not a loafer, but a gentleman, and came there to
transact business, and not to quarrel; Mr. Gamble tried
to catch Ovens and draw him back, and said, "Came
away and let those gentlemen alone; what do you talk
to them in that style for P Ovens with an oath
said to him, "Go away, I know my own busi
ness;' then Ovens said to me, "Yes, he is a
loafer and so are yon," and he - struck at me;" I struck'
of him aid knocked him doWil, - or;=at'leaat,- away from
rne, and then every person in the house attacked us;
my brother had au umbrella , with which he! defended
himself for a moment, but it was finally. taken from
him, and he picked up a •pitcher from the bar; there,
was then a general light—Mr. Ovens in the attack
with the rest; two other men ran in by the front
door, and any brother, whose back was towards the
door, was struck with , a billy, or something of
that kind, and be fell against a row of chairs
that were parallel with Hand street; I ran
to his assistance, and then the pitcher fell
out of his hand all our efforts were now
to getout of the door, which w, o finally succeeded in'

half of Mr. Sterling, but refused to attend. •
Mr. Mann urged the closing of the contestants'

The committee after retiring, returned with - the
following decision:

day last (of which notice was at that time given to the
contestant and his counsel), and no witness now be;
ing present for examination, the committee do now

fused to attend, if by any lawful process they should
hereafter be brought before this committee.
Provided, That this order will not exclude any wit
nesses that may be offered by the contestant in re

The stirring part of this Celebrated colored
man's life properly began with his death—
that is td say, the, notable feattires of his bi
ography begin with the knit time he died.
Ile had been little heard of up to that time,
but since then we have never ceased to hear
of hirei, we have never ceased, to hear of him
at stated, unfailing intervals. His was a
most remarkable career, and I have thought
that its history Would Make a valuable addi
tion to our biographical literature. There
fore,,l have carefully dollated the materials
for such a work, from authentic sources, and
here present them. to the public. I have
rigidly excluded from these pages everything
orr i s doubtful character, with the object in
view of introducing my work into the schools
for the instruction of the youth of my country.
The name of the famous body servant of
General Washington was George. After
serving, his illustrions master faithfully for
half a century, and enjoying, throughout this
long term his high-regard' and confidence, it
became his aorrowlul duty at last to lay that
beloved master to rest in his peaceful grave
by the Potomac. Ten years afterward—in
1809—fu11 of years and honors, he died him
self, mourned by all whb kneW him. The
BOStonGazette of that date thus refers to the
event.
George, the favorite body servant of the
mented Washington, died in` Richmond, Va.,
last Tuesday, at the ripe \age of 95 years. His
intellect was unimpaired, land his memory to-
melons, up to within a few minatea of his de
cease. He was present at the second instal
lation of Washington as President, and also
at his funeral, and distinctly remembered all
the prominent incidents connected with those
noted events.
From this period we hear no more of the
favorite body -servant of General Washing
ton until May 1825, at which time ho died
again. A Philadelphia paper thus speaks of
the sad occurrence:
At Macon, Ga., last week, a colored man
named George, who was the favorite
body-servant of General Washington, died at
the advanced age of 95 year's. Up to within
a few hours of his dissolution he was its full
possession of all his faculties, and could dis
tinelly recollect the second installation of
Washington, his death and burial, the sur
render of Cornwallis, the battle of Trenton,
the griefs and hardships Of 'Valley Forge,
etc. Deceased was, followed to the grave by
the entire population of Macon.
On the 4th of July, 1830, and also of 183 t
and 1836, the subject of this sketch was exhi
bited in great state upon the rostrum of the
orator of the day, and in November of 1840,
he died 'again. The St. Louis Republi
can of the 25th of that month spoke as fol
lows :
ANOTFIEI: RELIC OF nu REVOLUTION GONE.
—George, once the favorite body -servant of
General Washington,died yesterday at the
house of Mx. John avenworth, in this city,
at the venerable age of 95 years. He was in
the full possession of his faculties up to the
hour of his death, and distinctly recollected
the first and second installations and death of
President Washington, the surrender of Corn
wallis the battles of Trenton and Monmouth,
the sufferings of the patriot army at Talley
Forge, the proclamation of the Declaration of
independence, the speech of Patrick Henry
in the 'Virginia House of Delegates, and many
other old-time reminiscences of stirring inte
rest. Few white men die lamented as was
this aged negro. The funeral was very
largely attended.
During the next ten or eleven years the sub
ject of this sketch appeared at intervals at
Fourth of July celebrations in various parts of
the country, and was exhibited upon the ros
trum with flattering success. But in the Fall
of 1855 he died again.,The California papers
thus speak of the even:
Ai:crams OLD HERO GONE.—Died at Dutch
Flat, on the 7th of March, George (once the
confidential body servant of General Wash
ington), at the great age of ninety-five years.
His memory, which did not fail him till the
last, was a wonderful storehouse of interest
ing reminiscences. He could distinctly recol
lect the first and second installations and death
of President Washington, the surrender of
Cornwallis, the battles of Trenton and Mon
mouth and Bunker Hill, the proclamation of
the Declaration of Independence and Brad
dock's Defeat. George was greatly respected
in Dutch Flat, and it is estimated that there
were ten thousand people present at his
funeral.
The last time the subject of this sketch
died was in June, 1864; and until we learn
the contrary, it is just to presume that he died
permanently this time. The Michigan • pa
pers thus refer to the sorrowful event :
ANOTHER CHERISHED REMNANT OF TME
REVOLUTION GONE.--George, a colored man,
and once the favorite body-servant of General
Washington, died in Detroit last week at the
patriarchal age of 95 years. To the moment
of his death his intellect was - unclouded, and
he could distinctly remember the first and
second installations and death :of Washing
ton, the surrender of Cornwallis, the battles
of Trenton and Monmouth, and Bunker Hill,
the proclamation of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, Braddock's Defeat, the throwing
over of the tea in Boston harbor, and the
landing of the Pilgrims. He died \ greatly re
spected, and was followed to the grave by a
vast concourse of people.
lone faithful old servant is gone! We shall
never see him more, until he turns up again.
Tie has closed his •long and splendid career
of dissolution, for the present, and sleeps
peacefully, as only they sleep who have
earned their rest. He was in all respects a
remarkable man. He held his age better
than any celebrity that has figured , in history;
and the longer he lived the stronger and
longer his memory grew. If he lives to die
again, he will distinctly recollect the dis
covery of America.
The above resume of his biography I be
lieve to be correct, although it is possible that
he may have died once or twice in obscure
places where the event failed of newspaper
notoriety. One fault' I find in all notices of
his death which ''l have quoted, and this ought
to be corrected, In them he uniformly and
impartially, died at the age of 95. This could
not have•"-been. He might have done that
onoe, or maybe twice, but he could not 'have
continued it indefinitely. Allowing that When
he first died, he died at the age of 95, he was
151 years old When he died last, in 1864. But
his age did nut keep' pace with his recollec
tions. When he died the last time, he dis
tinctly remembered the landing of the
Ptignms, which took
_place in 1620.
He - - must — have ithotit — twenty'
Yeats old when he vvittieSsed that
event; wherefore it is safe to assert that the
body servant of General Washington was in
the neighborhood of two hundred and sixty or
seventy years old when he departed this lile
finally.

Strange Story or French society.
The following strange story of French
Society is furnished by the Paris correspond
ent of the Boston AclvertiBer: The topic,
that has occupied the: attention of the
Parisian public , more than any other during
the last ten day, is a great scandal ease that
has been tried before one of the civil courts
of the Department of the Seine. It adds a
chapter of unusual piquancy to the chronzqui
scandaleuee of the French Capital. An old
couple, of whom the husband has for twenty
five years folloWed the career of 'a cabman,
and the wife that of a keeper of a low wine
shop, brought suit for 'alimony t (under the
code Napoleon poor parents can claim sup
port from their children) against their daugh
ter, who is now no lm a petton than the
wife of a representative of One of the oldest
and noblest familiea of France, and can
lay legitimate claim to the titles of count and
marquis; but who ' had been for twenty-five
years, and until withiwAghteen months ago,
one of the most notoriottil leaders of the demi
monde. During the trial the most curious
revelations were made in regard to the career
of both the marquis and his wife. It war.
shown that the fernier had, after squandering
an immense fortune, led the life of a most
reckless and unprincipled adventurer, and
finally consented, at the age of eighty-three,
to cover up the shame of the cabman's daugh
ter, and to legitimatize at the same time
her unlawful offspring with his name and
titles, in order to enjoy in his last days the
luxuries of the wealth which the ex-courtesan
had succeeded in accumulating in her
dishonorable career. It was proved,
moreover,, , that, the new marquise
had ' resorted to the most' repro.
, henalble practices,wbile she ruled supremely
in the demi-monde;ln ordei to feather her
nest at the expense off the fast young men
and old rakes that sheeneeeeded in drawing
into her .net. One of these practices was to
make here victims sign promissory notes
when they got out of money, which she dis
counted herself at an enormous rate of in
terest. If they failed to pay, she prosecuted'
them unblushingly to the utmost extent of
the law. She was imprudent enough to bring
suit on one of these notes, given. to her be
fore her marriage by a foolish young vi•
comte, even after she had got to be a mar
quise. This led indirectly to the snit for
alimony of her parents against her. The le-'
gal adviser of the young nobleman whom'
she had prosecuted hunted up the old
couple and ,persuaded them to sue the
Marquise for an annuity of three thousand
francs a year, his object being simply to have•
an opportunity for a systematic public exposé,
of the life of the daughter and her husband.
The parents were made to plead extreme po
verty, bat the counsel for the defendants
proved that they were only apparently poor,
and that they really possessed considerable
means, which their intense avarice alone pre
vented them from enjoying. In the course of ,
the trial the marriage contract between the
Marquis and the Marquise was disclosed. It:
disclosed the fact that the latter had ruined
enough people, not only to lead a most ex
travagant life ter a quarter of a century, but
also to amass a fortune of a million and
a half of francs. A. brother of the Mar-
quis also figured prominently in the
trial. His record was no better than hers.
He had been a scapegrace all his life. He
fastened himself like a leech upon his sister.
Through some of her "friends" she got him
at last a lucrative position in one of the first
banking establishments of Paris. But his
salary was not sufficient for his wants. He
continued his extortions from her. Last
September he called on her to demand several
hundred francs. As she seemed to hesitate
to give him the money, he drew a revolver
and fired three shots at her, two of which
took effect. One bullet struck her in the
face, another in the back. Her wounds,
howeVer, were not fatal. For this attempt
at assassination the brother is about to ap
pear before the Criminal Court. Altogether,
the facts brought out during the suit for ali
mony would furnish material for a more ex
citing romance than any of the fictions of
Alexander Dumas and other sensatiop novel
ists. , The Court was to pronounce judgment
to-day, but adjourned the announcement of
its finding for a week.
.Latitte, the Pirate.
A San Francisco account, of the wreck of
the old Canton has brought to light, in
France, a very curious reminiscence of no
less a person than Jean Lafitte, the celebrated
rover of the Gnif,of Mexico ) , in_the .111tr_ of
1812. From this account it appears that the
Canton, East Indianian, mysteriously disap
peared in the year 1815 i. leaving no memo=
nal whatsoever of her loss until the remnants
of her wreck were discovered in March, 1867,
on Sybilla Island, by a San Francisco craft
-the C. Mills ---when in search of the wreck
of the Libelle, lost in 1866 on Wake's Is
land, with Madame Anna Bishop and com
pany. This French account of Lafitte is
long, but the following outline of it may be
useful in collating facts, having an important
bearing_ on ellAcidating the .obscure geography
and history of the Pacific groups.
The commentator aforesaid is mistaken in
asserting that Sybilla or Smyth Island is that
of Gaspar Rica, as this last three hundred
years' old myth is still undetermined. Kot
zebue and Smyth (ante 1820) having made
out that there are five islands in this small
group, to wit: Sybilla, or Smyth, Petrel,
Fruitful, Danger and Rabbit, and the visible
recta called Scylla Rocks, alt lying near 15
deg. north latitude, and 170 deg. east of
Greenwich. It appears, then, that in the
year 1830 the Russian bark Petroritch
touched at Cherbourg, in France, and there
left with the authorities a manuscript diary,
asserted to be in the handwriting of Caphun
Jean Lafitte, alias Francisco Guiterez,, com
mander .of the Mexican war privateer
L'Hirondelle, dated August 16, 1820, which
was found in a bottle picked up at sea; off
the Galapagos Islands, by the Petrovitch.
This diary narrates the total wreck of La
fine's vessel oz a desert island in the Central
Pacific, and 'of an attack on his crew by the
savages of a neighboring island. and from
which it seems he escaped in a boat with the
lorls of two _of
_his
_ineii;
_but
_whatever_ after,
ward beetitue - orLiifitte - or lds - erew - we -- be . -
lieve still remains in . mystery the most ob
scure. This diary was published in a French
newspaper shortly afterward, but of now
unknown title, and the sketch in the Era is
a translation made by an Eastern journal
from the French paper. In this paper the
island mentioned by Lafitte is assumed to be
one of the Radack Archipelagoes, or chains
or strings of islets, and which islet is set
down near 160 deg. 6 min. east of Green
wich,_' and 12 deg. 20 min. north, or say
eight hundred miles northeast from the Caro
lina islands, and Lafitte says he had to bury
his treasure on the island "where his vessel
was wrecked."

secret cause of such an intense agitation
among the California sea rovers since the
return of the C. Mills, as, if so many wilt run
off to find Cocos Island treasures, as many
more will snatch at nny chante to look for
Latitte's doubloons, as he must have picked
up a considerable number of these , usefirl
pieces in the year 1814, roving on the coasts
of Peru and Mexico. Let all these go, we
