Death of Ex-Assuclate Justice Voorhies.

We learn from the Vermillion Echo, of the 9th Inlet,that the Hon. Cornelius Voorhies, ex-Associate

Judge of the Supreme Court, died at his residence in Ithe parish of St. Martin, on the let mlst., after a Plong and lingering illnees.

On Fatorday, the 2d lnst., the District Court ofLafayette parish being in session in Vermillionville,Hon. H. C. Mouton announced the death of JudgeCornelius Voorhies, and offered the following resol.*tions :Resolved, That it is with a deep and sincere regret

that this court and the members of this bar havelearned the demise of the Hon. Cornelius Voorhies,who, as a lawyer, a judge, a friend, a father and hus-band, was ever reproachlees.Resolved, That we deeply oympathise with the

family of the deceased in their bereavement.Resolved, That the officers of this court and the a

members of this bar wear, during thirty days, theuseual badge of mourning, as a token of respect to thememory of the deceased.Resolved, That these resolutions be spread on the 1

minutesof this court, and that copies thereof be forwarded by the clerk of this courto to he family of thedeceased.

Resolved, That this court do now adjourn.These resolutions, observes' the Ver.ulllionville I

Echo, were accompanied by appropriate remarksfrom Mr. Mouton. Whereupon Judge B. A. Martel, ein words expressive of his high appreciation of the amany virtues of the deceased, ordered the resolutions Ito be spread upon the minutes of the court.

BLOODY AFFt'aY IN AtuaNSAso.-On the 24th ulta desperate and fatal affray occurred in the streets ofHuntsville, Arkansas, in which two persons werekilled and several others wounded. An altercationoccurred between two young men, James Bams andForester Black, which was afterwards renewed be-tween Black and Warren Sams, father of the firstnamed person. They both drew weapons, Same abowie-knife and Bhlck a revolver, with which hefired twice and was then himself shot down by adouble-barreled shot gun in the handsof young Same.Two brothers named Smithson then interfered anddisarmed young Sams, whose father had been shot 4dead by Black or some other person, for a number ofthose present drew and used pistols and knives. TheArkanosian, in its account of the affair, says :

Several pistol shots were fired, and bowiebknivesused, by some persons as yet unknown, probably byinterested spectators, an idea may be formed of the on-paralleled savageness of this street fight, when it is 1considered that Warren Same was shot with ten pistol 1balls, and stabbed once or twice in the breast, that tForester Black was shot twice with a double-barreled tshot gun. John Black and James Smithson woundedin the thigh, James Sams stabbed with a bowie-knife, 1and Mr. Moody severely wounded in the leg; andfurther, that after tile fight had ended, four revolverswere found lying upon the ground of battle; three ofwhich were entirely empty and one partially diescharged. Not a sound was beard after the shootingcommenced, save the sharp quick report of the re-uvolver, the stunning sound oi the deadly shot gun,

and the clash of cold steel, until Sams and Black hadfallen and their life blood was pouring forth throughghostly and fatal wounds. The scene of this tragedywas enough to sicken a manly heart, a young man inthe morning of life, and a mature man In the autumnof his days, lying within a few feet of each other,their lives pouring out in torrents of blood, and fourothers bleeding from severe wounds, but imaginationcan feebly depict the heart-rendiong lamentations ofmotherc, sisters, and wives, relatives and Iriends.Our informants say, uot a minute or two had elapsedalter the iiring, be;ore the square was covered withnear a hundred women, who made the town resoundwith their frantic screams, and wild cries of grief.

LATER FROt Ll•ERlA.-Advices have been receivedfrom Mtauroniato the 16th of May. President StephenA. Benso had been elected to a third term withoutopposition. A letter of the latest date says :

The Liberia Herald will tell you of our bright pros.pects anriebltorally. There have been more productsof America-Lttlgrlan- labor shipped to foreign ports(English and American) within the last six monthsthan during the entire forty years previous, and thereis good prospect of the inelease next year being twobhndn d per cent. Our people are farming in goodearnest.

COTTON Cruor IN WSTcr:r TENNESSEE.-The QuidNune of the 9th oinst., published at Grand Junction,Tennessee, says:

For now more than two weeks there has been littleor no rain in this region, and the corn crop in manyneighburhoods begins to sufOlr considerably In con.sequence. The abo rce of rule, however, has as yetno bad effect on cottonr, whiich, but for the extra-ordinary coolness of the nights, would be in a moreflourirbing condition than was ever witnessed beforeat this period of the season. As it is, that croppromises fnely here, as nearly everywhere else in theSouth, and planters begin to look forward to abountiful ) ield.

DeuOCiAToc N•NrrMATINS IN MOBIrE.--The Demo-crats held a meeting in Mobileo n Saturday night,and nominated the following State ticket:

TrlE OrLY SON Of nnlsa MOTHER.-One sees on allsides the blue trowsers and white jackets of the Aus-trians, who fell here in great numbers. In one placeI saw eight Ziouaves lying close to each other in asmall ravine near the railroad. Around the eightdead Frenchmen I counted the bodies of two hundredland three Anrtriane. This will give you some idea

of the dreedful slaughter that wan made of them.The bayonet is the arm they dread tilhe most. Whileeunder cover, or liring at ia distance, they stand well

tihe attack, hilt the moment they see that the Frenchtroops are about to attack them with the bayonettllhey at once retreat This ccounts for the ilmensenumb'er of them that are killed. Alas, it is a sadthing to see the sacks and other equipments of thedeed piled up. Letters and many little tokens ofnofluction are taken in charge bly some of the officersappointed to that duty ; but still, when so many arekbled, mrrly tllirngs Iurt nreceo.srily tie overlBolked.I picked ip onCe of the letters that were in tile I.earthe sueks of thle French solodiers thuat were killedyesterday, and found it was a most alltietionate ietterefrolu a lolther to hi r inllly Srlo.

AL-STRIAN DISCIPLINE.-A letter writer tells thefollowing story :

During the passage of a detachment of prisoners atFrejus, a scene occurred which caused considerableexcitement in the town. The entire detachment wascomposed of private soldiers, the highest in rankamong ithem being a corporal. Oe ot these men,tbeil.g leIt to follrw the bent of his own inclionations.indulged copiously in the generous grape juice ofProvence, and wound up by getting gloriously drunk.Whilst in this condition he commenced quarrellingwith his companions in captivity, and soon came toblows. Inr was, however, very quickly overcome bythem, and tied hand and foot. HIis outraged com-rudes, in accordance with their national habits, evenas prisoners in a foreign land, gravely held a councilof war, proved the culpability of the delinquent, anduarnimously condemned him to undergo the pnnish-ishmeot of the bastinado. The sentence was to beforthwith carried into effect. One of the judgesseized upon a drum and beat the usual roll in dueform ; the culprit was conducted into a shed to re-ceive the twenty stripes, and, in spite of the remon-strances of several lookers on, who had imagined theprevions proceedings a mere jote, arrangements wererapidly made for executingr the decree of the courtmartial. The whole affair occurred in the presence ofthe French sergeant and four soldiers, who had theprisoners in charge ; but they, too, ignorant of theAustrian s stem of disciplite, doubtless stppy:ed theprisoners to be merely amousing themselves at the expenae of their number, wilhuot really intending himaey harm. It was n~,t until hair a dazeu blows hadbeen vigorously applied to the man's bare shoulders,that the French eseort became convinced that tilejoke was a very serious one, certainly to the culprit,and put a stop to the proceeding.

Homioer num ArLnu.nel.-The Clarki County Demc.cerat, of tie 7th inst., says :

The Battle of Salferino.The Times publishes a letter written upon the bat- in

tle field of Salferrino, which states that the battle com. prmenced just before 5 o'clock on the morning of the24th ult.

The Austrians had crossed the Minclo for the purt- atpose of attacking the Allied army, and had taken upa strougp;esition.on the hills near Castigliona. ta

The French attacked the position with great im-petuosity and soon drove the enemy from the near- anest points to the town and pursmed them into the Ofsmall villa-es on the plain below, the first of whichwas the village of iall'rrino, at which the Austriansmade a stand and disputed every inch of ground,fighting with the utmost desperation.

Here the hottest of tche battle was fought, the A us- Wt i.ls being driven out of Salferrino by the heroic Ofband of French under the command of Gen. Neill,r:turned again and again to the charge, twice reta- doking the lpoition; and it was not until the French tohad driven them out fior the third time that the Aus- Mtrians finally abandoned the place and concluded tostay out.

The brunt of this terrible-conflict for tile possessionof S drerrino was borne by the corps of 50,000 underGen. Ne II, who was created a Marshal of France onthie field.

The possession of Salferrino enabled Gen. Neill to 0tpierce the .Istr an center,and to him and his gallant ceo rps is ascribed the highest credit as being chiefly IioLtrumeUtal in the unccsres of the Allies.

The people of the village of S.dlferrlo took part cein the battle agaltst the French, firing from their lawindows and the tops of their houses, which com- npolled the Frenoh to btlrn the town. E

The Auttrians fell back on the Volta, and plan led eformidable batteries on the verge of the hills sui r,rounding the place, and about one mile Irom the ,river ttincic. ItTile French attacked this poeition and captured itat the point of the ba.yonet after aterrible camnouadndof one bour, when a part of the Austrian army cross- ted the Mitcio, retreating along their whcole line.

Tile battle continued to rage with terrible carnageover the region northweet of the line running throughCastigtliona, Slferino andt Volta, the Austrians con-titntlly retreating after m sking temporary standsand lkeeping up a sharp cannonade to protect theirretrograde movements.

A tremendous thunderstorm occurred during the tbattle, and thi comblatants were obliged to suspend roperations for about an hour. ,

After the thunder storm a heavy camoundlangcommenced on the extrem left of the entire field,(fifteen miles in extent,) and on the borders of' thelake northeast of Caelgliona, west of Peechierm.

This proved to have been ocemasoned by the attachof theSardinlan army, ander King Victor Emsanel,and a most sanguinary cmalot followed.

The Times' correspondest says an Icemsant andterrible battle was kept up by the Sardinlans on theright wing of the Austrans, the Pledmoatese armybeing under the Immediate command of the King,who received the Austrians as they came up with the ,ntmost firmnes, and repusedevry attempt to drivethem from their position.

The battle herereigned with great fury until nightfail.

The batteries of the tWO armies at this point wereapparently not more than half a mile distant fromeach other, and were at first served with equal vigorby the Sardinians and Austrians of either army,but says that 10,000 wounded Allies and prison.era have been brought into this village, 8alferrino.alone, besides many others yet left on thsfield andat other places.
