A short time since, about 10 o'clock at night, two negroes went to the residence of Mr. Garrity, who is superintendent of Dick Christman's plantations, about sixty miles above that city, on the Mississippi side of the river, and knocking at the door de manded adniitance. Mi. Garrity at once opened the door, when they de manded his money and pistols. He replied he had neither, but had scarce ly-spoken when he was fired upon by both the ruffians, the shots striking him in the back of the neck and completely paralyzing him. Passing over what they supposed to be the dead body, they entered the house. murdered Mrs. Garrity and two children, and shot through the shoulder of a little girl. She fell, though enduring intense pain, she feigned death so well that the in human monsters really thought her dead, and proceeded with their work of plunder without noticing her fur ther. After plundering the house of everything valuable they could carry off, they set fire to it and went away. The little girl, thus wounded and alone in the burning building, got up, and going to her father who was dying near the door, with desperate courage and strength, she managed to drag him outside of the house into the yard.— The rain, which was falling, revived him, and with the assistance of his little daughter, he managed to crawl into an out-house. The little girl then return ed to the house attempted to get her mother from the burning building.— She failed to accomplish her object, though her severely burned sides leaves evidence of her heroic devotion with which she struggled to rescue the dead body of her beloved mother from the flames. Returning to her father, she made a little fire and sat watching by his side. He conversed with her until daylight, when, to use her own expression, he stopped talking and she thought he was dead. When daylight came, the poor child, wounded as she was by the as• sassin's bullet and by the flames, made her way to the house of a neighbor, some two miles distant, and related the horrible story. This gentleman got others of his neighbors and proceeded to the scene of murder and arson. Mrs. Garrity's body was not entirely consumed, and was taken from the ruins and buried with those of her husband. The bodies of the children had been entirely con sumed. From the little girl's description of the nurderers, the officers of a gunboat near the place, were of the opinion that they were two deserters from that ves sel. Marriage Extraordinary. A gentleman from the neighborhood of Hancock county, Kentucky, has just given us the following account of a most singular guerrilla outrage. The notori ous guerrilla Coulter, who is reported to have been killed in Nelson county, Kentucky, about two weeks ago, is the hero of our story. Coulter entered the village of Hawes ville, and going to the Clerk's office com pelled the Deputy Clerk of the County Court to issue a marriage li cense, authorizing any minister of the gospel legally qualified to unite him (Coulter) in the bonds of matrimony with Mrs. F., the beautiful young wife of a discharged Union soldier. (Her Husband being in Louisville, afraid to return to the guerrilla infested neighborhood in which his dwelling is located) The clerk in his own justification, entered on his book, "compelled by force of arms to issue this license." Havihg obtained the license, Coulter next sought a clergymah, who with threats of death, he compelled to go with him to the house and perform the ceremony. Having lived with the doub ly married woman three or four days, the desperado gave her five hundred dollars in gold and set off again in search of adventures. Whether the lady was constrained by force, by gold, or by ro mantic affection, to submit to the dou ble marriage, our informant has not learned. It may be added; as favorable to the best construction which can be placed on the conduct of the bride, that when last seen in the neighborhood, she was on board of a steamer which was bound for Louisviile. —Jeffersonville Na tional Democrat There are six colored churches in Savannah. Three of them have large and splendid organs. The pastors are colored men. Another proof of the hardships that the negro suffers from the "galling chains of slavery." Gen. Sheridan's Report of his Ope- rations. IH.E DEFEAT OF EARLY'S ARMY. CAPTURE.OF CHARLOTTSVILLE. Two Large Iron Bridges Destroyed Fourteen Pieces of Artillery Captured. WA R DEPA RTME.).:T, WASHINGTON, March 13. Maj Gen. Dix:—The following re port of Sheridan's operations has been received by this Department. (Signed) E. M. STANTON. 11ENDQRARTER4, MIDDLE DivistoN, COLCIIBIA VA., March 10, 1864. Dent. Gem Grant: GEN'L. : —ln my last dated Waynesboro, I gave you a brief account of the dfeat c't Early by Custer's Division. The same night this Division was pushed across the Blue„pidge and entered Charlottesville at 2 p. m. the nest day. The Mayor and principal inhabitants came and delivered up the keys of the public buildings. I had to remain at Charlottesville two days. The time was consumed in bringing over from Way nesboro our ammunition and pontoon trains. The weather was horrible—rain incessant. The two divisions were, du ring this time, occupied in destroying the two large iron bridges, one over the Rivanna river, the other over Morses Creek near Charlottesville, and the rail road for an advance of eight miles in the direction of Lynchburg. On the 6th of March I sent the first Division, Gen Devin commanding, to Scottsville, on the James river, with directions to send out light parties through the country, and destroy all the merchandize, mills, f.ictories and bridges in Ravenna. The parties were then to join the division at Scottsville. The Division then proceded along the canal to Doughenclsville, fifteen miles from Linchburg, destroying every lock, and in many places the bank of the canal. At Dagendsville we hoped to secure the bridges to cross the river, as our pontoons were useless, on account of the high water In this we were foil ed, as both this bridge and the bridge at Hardwicksville, were burned by the enemy upon our approach. Merritt ac companied this division. The 3rd Di vision started at the same time from Charlottesville, and proceeded down the Lynchburg road to Amherst Court House destroying every bridge on the road, and in many places miles of the road. The bridges on this road are nu merous, and some of them 500 feet in length. We found a great abundance in this country for men and animals. In fact the canal had been the great feeder of Richmond. At the Rockfish river the bank of the canal was cut, acd at New Canton, where there is a dam across the James river, the gnardlock was destroy ed, and the river let into the canal, car rying away and washing out its bottom. The dam across the James, at this point was also partially destroyed. I have had no opposition. Everybo dy is bewildered by our movements.— I have had no news since I left. The latest Richmond papers were of the 4th, but contained nothing. I omitted to mention that the bridges on tl - e railroad from Swoop's depot, on the other side of Stanton to Charlottes ville, were utterly destroyed; also, all the bridges for a distance of ten miles on the elordansvle railroad. The weather has been very bad in deed. It has been raining hard evry day with the exception of tout, since we started. My wagons have, from the condition of tne roads detained me.— Up to the present time we have cap tured fourteen pieces of artillery, eleven at Wayesboro atd three at Charlottes ville. The party th at I sent back from Waynesboro started with six pieces, but they were obliged to destroy two of them for want of anirnale. The remain ing eight pieces were thoroughly des troyed. We have also captured twelve canal boats laden with supplies, ammunition, rations and medical stores. I cannot speak in two high terms of Generals Merritt, Custer and Devin, and the officers and men of their com mands. They have waded through mud and water during this continuous rain, and are still in fine spirits and health. Commodore Hollins of the rebel navy was shot near Gordensville, while at- 1 tempting to make his escape from our advance in that direction. P. H. SumonAN, Major-General. [Signed] No Prime at all. In the days when servants were bought and sold to service in Massachusetts as well as in South Carolina, my grand father had in his family an unctions dar dey, called of course "Dinah." Now Dinah was fair to look upon, and after sundry flirtations, received, in her eigh- j teenth year, a bona fide offer from a well to-do Sambo of forty; "And why don't you have him, Dinah?" asked my gland father of the fair one. "Too Old, MS- sa." was the reply. "Why; ha's just ; in his prime." "Yes, massa, but bimes by, when Dinah get her prime den he hob noprinte at all. The Suez Canal. M. Ferdinand de Lesseps gives public notice that his projected Ship Canal, uniting the Red sea with the Mediterranean, was so far completed in 1864 that a baily boat has been run from Port Said to Suez since the Ist cf last month—a large bark, towed by a steamer, and conveying from twenty to thirty passengers, having passed from sea to sea within twenty-four hours. As yet the depth of water would seem to be but four or five feet with a width of thirty to forty feet; but it is confidently calculated that the canal will be prepared for effective transportation by April, when six steam tags are to be ready for service upon it. This canal is ninety miles long, and is to have, when completed, a minimum depth of twenty feet, with a width of three hundred and thirty feet at the surface. It was com menced in 1859 by a private company, on a subscribed capital of $40,000,000. We in fer that M. de Lesseps does not expect to complete it immediately, but to deepen it by degrees, without interfering with its use. A British Railroad, two handled and twen ty-two miles long, passing from Alexandria through Cairo to Suez, has for some years afforded expeditions transit between the two seas. The Suez canal has been favored by the French Government, but has, for so:ne not very obvious reason, encountered the jealous hostility of England. It would naturally be presumed that the European nation, whose possessions and whose commerce in the far east must exceed those of her rivals, would welcome and support every enterprise whereby India, China, and ;span are ren dered more cheaply and rapidly accessible. A passage for ships to India by the Is math of Suez sounds the knell of Britian supremacy in the East and the Mediterrane an. British Malta and British Gibraltar must ere long become worse than anachron isms. Trieste, which has alrealy grown during the last quarter of a century like Chicago or Cincinnati, must speedily become the great modern enterport of the extreme eastern trade, Venice, Ancona, Athens, Marseilles, Barcelona. must speedily enter into the Mediterranean competition for the control of the commerce which has hereto fore been ruled from Ladenhall street and the London Exchange. English diplomacy and the English press have done their best to prevent, or, at least, to delay this CODSU .. mation. The spectres of the India revolt of '57 forever, apparently in her eyes, England has seen in the piercing of the Isthmus only an insidious assault upon her domain in the Orient. The civilized world, however, cares but little what may become of England's do main in the Orient, and will even look with complacency upon the overthrow of the fi nancial domination of London.

"Good bye, Pomp, pomp but when de war is ober bring back my knife." Gigantic Oil Enterprise. The Pittsburgh Chronicle says : A gigantic enterprise is now on foot at Titusville, and one which will settle many questions now in dispute in regard to the oil theory. A company of re liable capitalists has been organized for the sinking of a shaft at some point not yet_determined upon, for the full and complete development of the geological peculiarities and facts of the oil stratifi cation. The capacity of the proposed shaft is to be seven by fifteen feet and it is supposed the drippings of the rock, as the shaft progresses, will nearly, if not quite fully, compensate for the labor of this great undertaking. This under taking will involve a greater degree of mining skill than any now practiced, as appliances will have to be made use of to keep the work tree of petroleum gas, which do not come within the range of the ordinary class of ventilators ; and these npnliances will have to be so com plete and effectual in their operation, that no ordinary skill can invent them. Of course, after the shaft has reached a proper depth, to fully carry out the plan, it will be necessary to run leads and drifts at angles from the main stem, which will eventually create courses of successions of caverns, which will be come receptacles of oil, to be raised to the surface either by means of pumps or by hydraulic pressure. A Mathematioa Puzzle. The following is decidedly the neat est little mathematical puzzle that came to our notice A man has sixty apples; he sells dO for fifteen cents, which is a half a cent a piece, or two apples for one cent. He sells the remaining 30 for ten cents, which is a third of a cent a piece, or three apples for one cent. Thus we see that for five apples he gets two cents; now how many cents does he get for 60 apples? The problem seems plain enough, and the rule of three gives the immediate resul. of twenty-four.— But on the other hand, if he gets fifteen Cents for 30 of his apples; and ten cents for the remaining 80, it seems pretty evident he gets twenty-five cents for the 60. YOUR FARE, , MISS. —A young lady from the rural istriCts lately entered a city railroad tar. Pretty soon the con ductor approaches her and said "Your fare, Miss." She blushed and looked confused, but aid nothing. The conductor was rather astonished at this, but ventured to remark once more: 'Your fare, Miss' This time the pink of her cheeks deepened to carnation as the rustic beauty rEplied : 'Wall, if I ern good lookin' you hadn't ought-to say it out loud afore folks.' The passengers in the cars roared with laughter, and her lover at once settled the fare. sm.lf you want to be a favorite with the girls generally, attend to their wafts —that is give them rides, dandy and taisens; talk and laugh about love af fairs, and keep on the off side—that iS don't commit yourself to any one in par ticular, and you *ill be lionised to your heart's content till you become an old bachelor.
