upon reading it, said that hi would take the

The- Beaver Comet,. illarder=.Arrest
_ -
of Eli Sheets.
The Bearer Lacer gives some additional par
tiality, of the recent murder of John Ansley,
from . which we learn that Amiley's horse,
foonddead la - the road was tracked scram the
field and found to proceed from the stable of a
man named Sheets, who lived about a quarbi
of a tailefrom the place where the body was
found. When last seep alive, Mr. d.neley
inquiring for Eli Sheeb and was directed to
his louse. Sheets had been called to testify
before the Coroner's jury at the time of the
inquest and failed to appear. These carnal
stances, together with the fact that Sheets
possessed a bad character in the neighborhood,
tended to- attract suspicion to him as being-in
some way implicated in the murder, and be was
arrested, but, as stated, escaped from the
officers at Darlington, while being conveyed
to jail. He cut himself severely in going
through the window at the hotel, as was dis
covered by marke,of blood upon the fences be
erossedln his Sight.
After his arrest, Sheet, was seen to hold
several private conversations with a man
named Fosnaught, who was his nearest
neighbor. Fosnaught gave no intelligibleac
count of these Conferences, and was arrested
as an accomplice of Sheets. Blood marks
were found on his clothes, and several impro
bable and inconsistent storiei were invented
by hint to account for them. The clothes
have been cent to this city to have the Mains
analyzed,. with a view of ascertaining whether
they are caused by human blood. Fosnaught
was •taken to Beaver, on Sunday week, and
lodged in jail. Sheets was last seen on the
preceding. Friday, in the neighborhood of
Milltown. Penna., where he has relatives. It
is supposed that he is the same man who at
tempted to murder Mr. Jonathan Heatty, last
August, but so many rumors are in circulation
it is difficult to know which to credit.
Since the above was written; we learn that -
Sheets was arrested on Saturday morning last,
at Wellsville, while endeavoring to moss over
the Ohio river, on a ferry boat, into Virginia.
-lie was taken on a charge of murder, but ar
rested for horse-stealing, having been followed
from. Unity,Columbiana county, Ohio. Ho
was conveyed to Now Lisbon, the county seat
of Columbiana, and committed to jail.
On Sunday morning officers left Beaver,
Pa, for New Lisbon, with the view of having -
Sheets removed upon a requisition, for trial
on Ucharge of murder. He is a most danger
ous and desperate character, and it is alleged
that within a period of three weeks he bad
burnt a burn, from which be stole one horse,
and left two others to perish in the dames ;
the stolen hcirie he traded to Ansley, and
while the unfortunate man was in pursuit of
him, to get back his property, he was brutally
murdered; he was arrested, bit escaped. stole
another -horse and burnt another barn, and
was 'bald escaping from the State when he
was apprehended. It is to be hoped that be
will new receive the punishment which he de
serves.-- - .
The "Ten Cent" Shows
We are gratified to atate that his honor,
Mayor Sawyer, lias taken cognizance of tbe
evils connected with the cheap exhibitions
given at Trinable's Varieties, where small bort
' are nightly famished with liquor, in connec
tion wi theatrical representations of a low
order. M r. Trimble has been notified by the
tl
Mayor, that
t unless be removes the bar from
the camel door upon which the stage is
erected, thus putting the' temptation at
least oat' of sight of the boys, he will
net renew his city license 'for' these exhi
bitions, which limners expires about the first
of May. This is a - very wise step, and if the
evil complabied . of is-not effectually checked,
it may be ,crdlowed by another and wiser step,
the withholding,.of:..the , license . altogether.
Beery good &bon will heartily command the
action of Mayor Sawyer in this %natter. -.
In_ tins connection wo have a iroid to say in
reference to thiState license for theatrical eq
hibitions, tehich it is the duty of the County
Treasurer to collect.. The law provides that
theatres, - or "anyp lace whatever for theatri
cal perfonitinessi shall pay a license of two
hundred do% i ers Der annum t, the State, to be
collected* • Treasurer of the proper coun
ty. We are informed that Mr. 'Trimble has
not ;add 'any such. lioause, and if the, late
County Treasurer has been remiss in the mat
ter, doubtless the present worthy encumbent
will attend to it. . ,
The anothere "ten hint" con.
oern,which has even a worse mpritaliele than
the"Varloties," but which hal been closed up
in coneequenee of a “finanoisi . collapse," is
about tore-open, and Mayor Sawyer has been
applied to for the necessary license. The
Itemise will — not be given,; mists under the
proviso that, no liquor shall be sold in, the
roont,.and then only for a couple of menthe',
by way of experiment.
The liquor i.e .the source of most of . the
profit, u well as of all the dieturbenee and an
woyance, 6 sid If It can be got rid of, these
°help she rwill die for Licit of spirit. The
" is also liable for State license, as
they, ahlft.Xenwr, play fireesiete.,as
the 'Farietica. . The County Treasurer will
see that the tax ix collected.

The County Gltuger.:lnipottaut Hill
- Signed.
On Saturday, Goiernor Cirtiii signed the,
bill relative to the office of Ganger of Oil, and
Inspector of . Domestic Liquors in Allegheny
county. It provides that all oil outside of
the city of Pittsburgh shall be gauged bythe
County Ganger, and all domestic liquor out
side of the city of Pittsburgh shall be Inspected
by the same officer. In other words, the long
controversy between the City Gauger and
County Inspector has been finally settled by
the approval of this law, which excludes the
city of Pittsburgh from Ls operations. The
Gaugers !elected by the-Councils of Allegheny,
Temperainceville, hiaischeistirr, me., =Thence
forth regard their occupation as "gone. The
law inflicts a penalty of thirty dollars, or
thirty days' imprisonment, or both, upon any
person who shall gauge or inspect oil and li
quors outside of this city. •
Owing to the immense trade in oil, and to
the fact that nearly all the refineries are out
side the limits of the city, the fees of the
Gauger and Inspector will be very large, esti
mated at $20,000 per annum. The office will
afford a handsome source of revenue to the
county, as the law provides that thirty-three
per cent. of the fees shall. be paid. into ,the
county treasury. Mr. john Smtthly has been
appointed under the new law, and - 6s duties
having been clearly defined, and not conflict.
ing . with those of the city official, his fume
tions will doubtless not again be questioned.
We are surprised that Allegheny. city was not
also exempted from the operations of the law,
as we can see no reason why she should not
have the same privileges as our own corpora
tion.
FATAL ACCIDHEIT.—A single man named
George Baird, residing at Sharpsburg, was the

CHICAGO, April 6 —A special diepatoh to the
Trauma, dated Cairo, 6th, says that a team
star, who has just returned tram Commerce,
says that 8. J. Ketches', one of Jeff. Thouip
sen's Colonels, is in the swamps back of that
place with a squadron of cavalry, estimated at
200 men, and lean are entertained that the
Union men in that vicinity will be subject to
fresh persecutions, and the report is current
to-night that Jeff: Thompson has assembled a
force of conaiderable strepithni Alcomb's Is
land, twelve miles west of New, Madrid. Ills
position is represented by the rebels as very
strong.
The rebel } limbo/its and transports pass trur
batteriee at iddle's Point without difficulty.
None have come above Point Pleasant.
A 'pedal dispatch to the net, from Cairo,
pays that Dud.' Wright, formerly a sailor at
Oswego, arrived there to-day, having desert
ed from • Geri. Beaeregard's army a week
sines: says there were about 60,000 troops
at Corinth, but no heavy guns around the
works. One regiment was under arrest, being
rebellious. Their army presented a state bur,
daring on inSubordination. .Our informant
thinks.there will be a stampede, if attacked.
• A special dispatch to the- Chicago Wales,
dated New hisdrid, sth inst., Bays that the
gunbostCarondolet arrived there last night,
Having run the rebel blockade at Island No.
10, without dimage. She had in tow, on the
side exposed, . o the batteries, a.barge loaded
with bay, to.protect her. The night was in.
tensely •darit bud stormy. She passed the
Arse battery Infer, being discovered.
' The second Bred on her as soon as its guns
could be brought to bear, but owing to the
darkness and the speed with which she moved,
the Are was totally harmli#S.
A third battery also concentrated its Are,
butnnt a. drat.st..-fr tl. hns , Sha pseud.
the fourth and' Afth batteriee kith. the mile
fortunate result. Pifty-three shots were Bred
at her.
•
Three miles below the Island the rebel float
-lag battery opened on her, and continued
firing until the Carondolet was out of range.
All through the passage a continuous Are of
musketry was kept up from- the shore, and
many bullets struck the boat, but all hands
being below, nobody was hurt.
The Caroadolot did not discharge a. gun
during the passage. She passed the last bat
tery within an hour after leaving the fleet.
A telegram from the Island, at siz o'clock
that evening, says that very heavy firing was
heard is the .dircetion of New Madrid. It is
thought. the Carondelat wag engaged with
some of the rebel gunboats. From one to eight
o'clook heavy reports were heardevery minute.
The escape of the Varondolet from injury,
in running the blockade, is attributed to the
fiat that she hugged the shore of the Island
so closely that it was nearly impossible for the
rebels to depths" their guns sufficiently to bit
her. There Is great rejoicing throughout the
fleet at this signal success.
Capture of Washington, N. C
Wasairroroa, April 7.—The following com
munication has been forwarded to the Nary
Department by Commander Rowan :
U. 8.8 Louisiana, —l
- N. C., March 26, 1862.
Bta obedient* to your orders of the
20th instant, I proceeded to this place, arriv
ing at the obstructions, about live miles be
low, on the morning of the 21st. The naval
Molumn consisted of this . vessel, the Delaware,
Lieut. Commanding Quackenbush, and the
Commodore Perry, Lieut. Commanding Flus
ter. We were accompanied to the obstruc
tions by the steamer Admiral, au army trans.
port, with eight companies of the 24th regi
ment of Massachusetts volunteers, Colonel
Stevens, and a small tag boat. We met with
no refinance, the batteries having been aban
doned and their armament removed by blast
ing and other processes. We soon forced a
channel through the piles, though they had
been driven very deep, in triple rows, and cut
off three feet below the surface. At .eleven
o'clock last night we arrived 'abreast of the
'town, the Delaware bringing from the
_jiving
port the ileld offieers,two companies o troopa
and the regimental baud. The authorities,
with many of the citizens, met us on the
wharf, where I briefly explained to them the
object of Cur Thit. • •
The military then formed, and we proem:til
ed to the' Court Douse, where, with. all the
ceremonies, were hosted the flag of the Union.
The troops returned to the Delaware with
unbroken front. -
I found on further consultation with the
authorities on whom I made my demand for
the munition of the 'lathlike Light prep- .
erty,that underlying an apparent noquiemenoe
of the people of the town and neighborhood
to permitting the building of gunboats and
the contraction of batteries to repel the ap.
prosch of the United forces, Was • ddep-noted
election for the old Union, and not • little
ethintosity for its enemies. The latter element
not being diminished by the importation of
troops from a • distant Stare: ' The . result of
this state of affair, Was to be 'antlaipated the
abandonment of. its defame*, by the troupe,
followed by the destruction of whet remained
of rebel property by thepeopie. The lannehed
gunboat had been towed several mile. up the
river, loaded with turpentine, and fired on the
night of our arrival. A few hundred bushels
of meal -and corn, left. in the commissary
stores, was distributed to the poor by my or-.

In addition to' the batteries 'com the other

WASHINGTON, April.7i. IS6i.
Horsa.—Mr. White, of Ind" offered • mt.
elution providing for the appointment of
committee of nine members of the House t
inquire and report at as early a day as prae•
ticablo whether any plan can be proposed au . ,l
recommended for the gradual emanciPation
all African slaves, and the extinction of slr
very States of Maryland, Virginia, Kentuck ,
Tennessee and Missouri by the people or loc;
authorities thereof, and whether such an ob
ject is expedient and desirable ; and that the 2
further inquire and report whether the collo•
nisation of such emancipated slaves is neces
sarily a concomitant of their freedom ' and ho,
and what provision should be made thereto]
and that they alio inquire how far and
what way the Government can and ought
facilitate this ohject„ and that they further be
authorised, if, in their judgment, it be deetied
expedient to extend 'their inquiries as to the
slaveholding States, and report thereon.
T he resolution was passed—yeas, 67 ; nay,
Mr. Mallory, of Ky., regarding the resolu
tion as unconstitutional and absurd, previ
ously moved to lay it on the table, but the
motion was disagreed to—yeas 52, nays 68.
Mr. Wyekliffe '
of My., requested that his
name be omitted in the organisation of the
Committee, and that as a matter of sound
parliamentary practice, that no member be
appointed thereon, who voted for the resole
tion adopted early in the session, which he
read from the journal, namely : " That neither
the federal government, nor the people of any
non-elaveholding State has the constitutional
power to legalise or interfere with slavery in
any State of the Union." Ho said that . those
persons in the North, who do not subscribe to
the above proposition, are too insignificant in
number to excite alarm in any portion of the
republic, and that the increase of such number
does not keep pace with the aggregate popu
lation of the Union.
Mr. Voorhees, of Ind., offered a preample,
setting forth that the tariff bill, passed
during the extra session, is unjust and ,op
praseive to the agricultural portion of the
community, including with a resolution, that
the Committee on Ways and Means be in
structed to report a bill, at as early a day as
practicable; repealing the said law, and sub
stituting therefor, a. system founded on the
principle of yielding an adequate amount of
revenue, and not on that of protecting the
manufacturing interests of the country. .
