ORLEANS The New Orleans ii' , Tub/;e'on has the fol lowing : There was some little excitement raised in town yesterday by the announcement that a shooting atiray had taken place at the United States Barracks, between soldiers of the Nine teenth Infantry, and that one or more men -had been killed . . The following is the correct story, obtained on the spot from the otli,!,,rs and men who were cognizant of the whole facts. At half-past seven o'clock Tuesday evening, private .luseph Bowen, of Company E, walked to the door of his company , quarters. and with the simple remark, " 1 ant going to kill von, • ' fired a shot from a breech-loading uunie rifle through the heart ot• private David Kelly, of the same company - . The Fall passed through Kelly's body, and through the abdomen of private Michael Ford, who was immediately in his rear, leaning against the railing of the gallery. Aft er liyipg the fatal shot, Boweti threw down the empty musket, and attempted to effect his escape. He• got out of the ti darters, aml while attempting to reach the green sur rounding the hospital and jump the picket fence separating it front the street, ho tripped up over a drain, and before he could recover himself, was seized and captured by rue non commissioned officers of the company. The surgeon of the post, Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Clements, was immediately sum moned, and although lie could, of course, do nothing for Kelly, who was already dead, lie made every effort in his power to relieve Ford. The wounded man was removed to the hos pital, where he now lies iu a condition that can only be changed by death. The ball passed through the body and the intestineS are plainly visible at the orifice. What makes the chances much worse for Ford, is the fact tnat he is just recovering from an attack of the fever and was en the sick list at the time of the shoot ing. • The cause of the trouble. between Kelly and Bowen iH almost too lengthy, to recite, but it has been well known by the company that Kelly had borne au animosity -against Bowen for litany months. From . the officers of the command we learn That the dead man had a most unenviable char actor in the regiment. Ho was almost always in the lock-up, and never got:'out of it - but to • rush inter fresh trouble. When-Le.had a. leave . citizens Or police: .116 was regarded as a quar relsome and dangerous man, and had been ;Warned by his officers that some one would kill him yet. On the other hand, Bowen, who did - the Shooting, bears tlio reputation 'of an irreproachable-soldier, and so thoroughly did he attend to his duties that he was invariably at guardmount selected as the headquarters' orderly. Ford also stood well in the regiment, 'and the officers and wen regret firs accidental shooting. Immediately after the murder, charges, in regular military form, were prepared by order of Gen. Smith against Bowen and -forwarded.- to General Reynolds, commanding the depart ment, repiesting agoneral court-martial be ap pointed for the trial of the prisoner.

LoisnoN, Saturday, Aug. 13, 1870.—The spe cial correspondent of the 'Tribune writes from the. Prussian headquarters on' Monday (Bth) : The engagements on Saturday were both far hrourtropt - There - arelew - de - tailfirtrealdcs - the official summary already sent.. All letters and messengers are delayed. What has really happened is in perfect accord with what I hat e foreshadowed more-than once. The design of the German authorities, as I gathered from Prussian oflicerk of high posi tion, was first to prevent Germany being made the theatre of daughter, and second, to attack the French tinny in three. pl'aceS -simultane ously.. The programine has beep carried out o far as the right and left flanks of the French are concerned, but it remains for the German centreto advance against that of the enemy. This advance is necessarily delayed until the result fit the flank movements can be learned. Now that MacAl ahon and Frossard have both suffered severe defeat, a general eng,ag"tuent is itnminent. During the whole of to-tiny the arrival of despatches announcing that agreat battle is in progress, or has ended, have been looked forward to with feverish impatience. It is evening, yet no tidings have come. " Though the combats Wissembourg and Woerth are regarded as minor engagements, yet theyare in reality of the 'highest inipeir; lance. The earliest official despatches under estimated the magnitude and extent of the vic tory. Instead of a few hundred prisoners hav ing been captured at Wissembourg.,their num ber amounts to nearly i 3 OCO. Both struggleS were stubborn. The French soldiers im tir ground well. Their rifles eroved terribly destructive. It was down right hard fighting which enabled the Germans to claim the honors of the day. A wounded French prisoner avowed. in my bearing that his countrymen could not with -land the weight of the German attack. The glt being one not of bullets only, but of bayonetS also, it was decided at last by the actual strength of the respective combatants. the German soldiers, on the aver age, are heavier men than ordinary. The French opposed that the new weapon would site Warfare—t hat tb ei-ha nd-to-h and ,rin hats were obsolete. This engagement yroved otherwise. ---`' Th e -tat t stateinen ts- from- the field where MacMalmit's artily vas: so thoroughly beaten, say that While the victory was complete, and the number of prisoners taken amounts to (141, the losses on both sides were enormous. These losses can be ill atibrded by thelorencli.

A movement is in progress.which will greatly .strengthen the army now encaleptiet on French soil. An addition of 20e,000 men will soon be, ready. " The victories are accepted very quietly."

LoNpoN, Aucust 14, 1870.—The special cor respondent of Dbe Trilitm6 in Hamburg writes on - Thursday 112th): " The French fleet is unlikely to effect anything. The iron-clads draw too much water to approach the coast. "Prussian vessels are prohibited from leav ing any port between \Nrarnemiinde" on the Baltic, at the mouth of the:Warnow, seven miles below Rostock) "and the frontitir of Jutland ; neutral flags not included. " Falkenstein has just returned from a tour ofinspection of the coast defences. He is con fident that Hatuburg•has nothing to fear from invasion. Eighty millions of the federal live per eent.w•ar loan of 100,000,000 were subscribed in one day." .German Legends. Germany will never, perhaps, outlive legend. Even in the. rude, hard, and thor ougly practical vicissitude of to-day it remem bers the baron,. the robber-knight, and what Goethe calls "the 'ghost traditional." The great Emperor Barbarossa,(supposed to have been drowned in a Palestine river, A. D. 1190) is not really dead, but only sleeping in a cavern of the•Thuringiau mountains„and the proper moment he is coining back to lead his nation to victory. Wherefore the German poils Sing: " Now old Barbarossa, starting 1.• row his slumbers up in haste, Looks around: tile sun is beaming Brightly on the rocky ‘Na.ste.! We may smile at this antique hero ism ; but these enthusiasms, misty as they are, tell immensely in the battle-field, and the Emperor L. N. B. could afford to pay roundly any poet who could strike such a chord in the hearts of his Zonaves.—Ttiff gw, Catholics and France. The New York rubiet iu its last number takes it for granted that the Roman Catholics all ever the.world must give ,their_sympathies in the present European war to Prance. It would be strange if this were so, for religion has certainly nothing to do with the origin of I be war,and LouisNapoleou personally has thus far never succeeded in obtaining the confidence of all the French bishops and of the leading Catholics. The Tablet, is, however, greatly mistaken as to the facts of the. case. The Archbishop of Cologne has issued a pastoral letter to the clergy of his diocese, dwelling strongly upon the justness of the German cause, and similar letters have been issued or are expected to be issued by all tho other bishops of Germany.. No German bishop has in any way indicated sympathy with France. The leading Catholic paper of Prussia, the IW/4 . th/fitter of Cologne, vies in the energetic defence ofthe German cause with the papers apy other party. All the —other l eatholie papers of Pru.ssia, Baden, and the minor ttitatcs take the same ground. In Bavaria, the oldest political organ of the Catholics, the Postv!ittow of Augsburg, fully supports the war, and only one Catholic organ of influ ence, the Vulksbote of Munich, has persisted in the opposition to the German war. The enthusiasm in the Catholic districts is in no way inferior -to-- that -of the Protestant dis tricts.

They saw no sign of troops in their front. such an ordeal as this tested the stuff of which these men were made. They bore themselves with -extraordinary valor. Men were struck down by hundreds, yet the regi ments never wavered. The ,Zonaves wore driven from their places of concealment, and -the ground they had_ occupied-was won. by_ their opponents. "The, exact details are not forthcoming. it is impossible to learn, even approximately, DEI MONDAY, AUGUST 15;1870. how many fell, but it is , quite certain that the German loss has been proportionately great. By day and night the wounded have-been ar riving here. This afternoon all the beds in the hospitals are occupied : these contain about one thousand men. The field hospitals are also lull. Hundreds of wounded men were sent on to Frankfort, where there is accofnmoda tion for five thousand. Long series of stretch ers, on are 'woundf_TlF - xoltlitiA and offi cers, are passing through The streets to-day. So great is the number of wounded that the ar rangements made prove insufficient, and there were instances where men laid twenty-four hours on the field before being discovered. A urivate despatch from a military surgeon con firms-this information." LordAttrtssell's - fillencei — . A good deal of surprise is expressed in po litical circles in London that Lord Russell, - whose rage for letter-writing is matter of his tory, should have abstained frona, alas, en lightening the world in the present crisis.

These two nags came here for the late trot under an agreement that each was to receive one thousand dollars. The announcement of a four thousand dollar purse was a fiction to gull the public. The owner o 1 Other horse had no interest in the race. They were driven just fast enough to make the spectators believe that it was a bona fide race. The time was so slow on the first heats as to excite suspicion with many. On the last heat Palmer was run into the glitter and Lady Thorne was permitted to win. There were plenty of bets that 2.23 would be made, and so the judges announced the time on the laSt heat at a quarter of a minute under that time. It is not supposed that as good time as that was made by the mare, though she might have done still better.

M., at the Pennsylvania Railroad Allowing — thifi'cliflek — Efie express to leave the depot, they gathered, in , a lei surely and comfortable - Way, into three cars detailed specially for their use, and at half twit 11 bade adieu to the bright and cheering face of Mr. Cooke, who would see his friends comfortably off, but would not yield to the :wish of eteryone* present and accompany the party himself. The excursionists numbered nearly fifty, and included Isaac Hinckley, ESif., President of the Philadelphia, ton and Baltimore Railroad ; William G. Moorhead, Esq., representing the establish ment of Jay Cooke & Co., and ladies; Hon. Edward M. Paxson,Judge of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas ; Robert Patterson, Esq. ; John D. Stevens, Esq., of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company; Col. J. D• Potts, President of the Empire Transportation company, acconipattied by Mrs„Potts•;,. Rebt. Lanaborn; Esq.; See'retark afid TreaStiker of the Lake Superior and MiSsissippi Railroad Company i Rev. Dr. Vinton, of Trinity Church, N. Y.; Hon. John T. Robertson, of Columbia, S. C.,with Mrs. Robertson and two sons; Wm. Minot, Esq., of Boston, and Mrs. i not ; Messrs:Robertson', of the New York Ringwalt, of , the Press and Chyteacte (for whom the train halted at Downingtown); Fulton. of the Associated Press, and Mrs. Fulton; Captain Nevin, of the Philadelphia Press r and a member of the BULLETIN staff. Hon. F. Carroll Brewster subsequently joined the party at Harrisburg. Blessed with a lovely slimmer day, the ex cursionists moved rapidly through a landscape just washed with Copious Showers, but now twinkling and sparkling with sun light among-st the dense foliageof -one of-- the garden regions of America— Never were Pennsylvanians happier in their wealthy-and beautiful state. Never had the superb cul tivation of its rolling hills : and. fat valleys scenn•d more perfect, more English 'in its opulence and finish. The increaSed - attention now given to the growth of Tobacco was very. striking : the plant, in our State, is ,1111WATI the stage when its low and tufted leaves are most perfect in their broad elegance, and when their growth and spread have most of the sculptural grace of the acanthus. Every small farmer between Downingtown and Lau caster seemed to be cultivating a small seg ment or triangle of his ground in this soporific plant, as though determined to own some pro prietorship in dreamland. The tourists could hear the simple fellows f ?ipe in mouth, speak to each other in their odd Pennsylvania- Deutsch dialect, as they weeded the beds into that perfect orderliness which the plant de mands, or plucked from under the emerald shadows of its leaves the great fat worm which is its guest and bane: The pastures of luscious clover, and the cornfields, everywhere draped and tied across with their fluttering and corru gated ribbons, seemed, as well as the more succulent tobacco-foliage, to be gyring thanks for the three days' showers in which they had just been reveling. The various wad-stations were overtaken without a pause, but the contents of the freight-cars and deposits of merchandise passed in many a nestling gent-like to twit suffi ciently indicated the Great Carrying° Trade of the Erie Road—the oil, the iron, the coal of which NOA) tons are annually dispersed by it among the foundries of the West ; the hides which go to be cured in the tanneries of the interior. Three miles south of Harrisburg the tourists noticed .with admiration the immense and Nuperb Baldwin Steel Works, where rails of this material are turned out ith a perfection and 'on a scale perhaps hardly equalled in the world. The appearance or the buildings is imposing, and indicates even to him who runs, as this party did—the immense resources and produeing power of the establishment. The railway companies all over the country are supplanting, by very rapid degrees, the old-fashioned iron trams with rails or steel. his a measure of the,luost obvious economy„since the expense of steel is not double, while the enduring power is greater almost beyond computation. In addi•• tion to the ultimate economy of the material itself, the increased indemnity from accident, and consequent economy of human life, re-. suiting from the employment of steel, is truly pleasant to think of. Within a few weeks this profitable concern has about doubled its operations, benefiting by the recent action of Congress in giving the specific instead of the ad valorem 'hay upon the manufacture; the vast rolling-mill now works day and night, turning out steel rails to the value of over -;100,000 per month. At Harrisburg the party were joined by the young and tailant Manager or these works, Mr. John B. Pearse, who, to the regret of his companions, accompanies them no farther than Williamsport: If any stray reader hap pens to recollect Major Winthrop's lively little sketch of "Love on Skates," he will re call in the hero or that episode the living simulacrum and image of Mr. Pearse, Although apparently on the morning sideLor thirty; he - has .conquered every .detail :of bis ii.vhard:practical 'work and reduoci intelleWal study, away' liTTfiffiWi countries where the composition of steel is best underatood, and in America; and his bold and'handsonte head is itself a picture of of the best .4.inericau qualities of iron grit and keen temper. The little train conveying the tourists was inborpOrated at Harrisburg with a larger one, in which a number of interesting acquaint. tances Were encountered, among whom the most honorable, perhaps, was the worthy (sen. Schenck, who • Returns to His Constituents. Poor, after a great ivally years of repreaAutatiou. PRICE THREE CENTB. The noble General declares thot he carnet' afford to submit to another eleciton, but mast leave the seivice of his constituents to "earn: something for his family." Ciltinnatus is. hardly-a grander--figure-than this civic hero, who comes out impoverished from along course of distributing the public funds; Soon striking the Erie line proper, the train advanced through the most exquisite river scenery; - scintillating and - deepeninglni colce under the westering snn. At half-past 8 theparty debouebed in front of the Herdic House, Wil liamsport, where every effort was kindiy and succesqully_made_to___entertain_them.---This bright and cheerful hostelry is new thronged with guests, and while the tired excursionists seek their snowy pillows the regular throb o music and' beating feet below make it seem' as if the whole world were dancing. The HerdiO House is DOW the resort of nearly three hun dred summer guests, who are enjoying the sanative properties of the neighboring springs, and inspecting the beautiful scenery around the town, including, among its curiosi•-• ties, the pools on this property, stocked withi eight hundred trout.

On this scaffold at the hour named were Messrs. H.G.

While thus engaged the scaffold, from some defect, commenced swinging, and almost im mediately fell with a tremendous crash, It seems Mr. Smith was standing just where the boards joined, find they parting, he-was wit bout ally protection whatever,aud tell bpon the non fence surrounding the church yard, the tops of which-were-..0f. pointed- spear-- shaped castings of about five inches in length, one of which penetrated his right side near the middle lobe of the lung, mid broke of.

Mr. Wiles saved himself by clinging to one of the fluted columns in front of the church and sliding down.
