Fosclick et al.—In this case claimant has filed a petition substantially as follows: Having large landed interests to settle iu the State of Virginia, and his presence being, besides, absolutely needed toward the lat ter part of the present month, both in Havre and Paris, in the Empire of France, on ac count of several law suits pending before the tribunals of said cities, he contemplating leaving thq city of New Orleans toward the latter part of* June, for the State of Vir ginia, with the intention to proceed thence to France with his family, consisting of his wife and child. In furtherance of his intended voyage, first to Virginia and thence to' Franco,-lie did, on or about the eighteenth of June alii]i on board of the ship St. Lawrence (:i_ vessel which lie then supposed to he of British nationality, but which he, subse quently discovered to be an American ship navigating under British colors), then lying in this port, and bound for Havre, in France, tyro certain eases of goods contain ing sundry articles of wearing apparel and household goods, belonging to himself anil family, and a family portrait, the whole of the value of about two thousand dollars. The ship was advertised to leave on the twenty-ninth of June, and received on board the two eases for transportation, but owing to the fact that a fire, through some unknown cause, broke out in the vessel on the evening of the twenty-eighth of June her departure was prevented. Petitioner represents that apprehending the loss of the two cases, should they remain on the vessel, and anticipating no possibility of the ship's leaving tlus port by reason of her damaged condition, he, on Hie morning of the twenty-ninth of June, wliile on her deck, demanded of her cap tain the return of his two cases of goods, which was refused. Subsequentlv, claimant made several at tempts to obtain possession of the property, which were ineffectual until about the first of this month, when, after much trouble, he was successful in procuring the two eases of goods, and which he had placed on the wharf, with a view to having them removed hack to the dwelling. Petitioner further avers that while the two cases were on the wharf, and he in structing a drayman to haul them away, one George A. Fosdiek, of this city, a per fect stranger to petitioner, stepped forward, anil interfering with the drayman, pre vented the flaming away of the two cases; that said Fosdiek then,* liy force, took pos session of the cases, had them hauled away, and has ever since kept petitioner out of his lawful possession thereof, under the pre text that they were a part of the cargo of the ship St. * Lawrence, saved from her wreck, and, as sncli, liable for contribution upon Hie average settlement of her loss. But petitioner now here further alleges that all the above acts and doings of the said Fosdiek. and the pretended liability of petitioner's two cAses to contribute to the loss sustained by the vessel, was the result of a preconceived understanding between the said George A. Fosdiek and George M. Nichols, the captain of the ship, to deprive unlawfully and maliciously your petitioner of the use and possession of the contents of his two cases, and, furthermore, to vex. an nfly and liarrass him unnecessarily. That these unlawful acts of the captain and tlie said Fosdiek have been quite vexatious and harrassing to petitioner, and have caused him much damage, for which they and the owners of the ship are liable jointly and severally. He further avers that by the unlawful de tention of his property, his intended de parture from tlus city has been prevented; that in the meantime his interests abroad ire sulfering heavy losses: that he and his family being strangers to this place and posed to the inclemency of the season, are laboring under much mental suffering m consequence of tlicir forcible detention here: that for these mental sufferings, the nu necessarv trouble he has been put to by the said Fosdiek and the captain and own ers of the ship, he is entitled to recover from them in in solido. exemplary damages to the amount of $10,000. Petitioner further avers that the addi tional expense he has been and will he put to. will amount to the further sum of $2000. He asks that the two cases and their con tents he sequestered to abide the issue of this suit and that he have judgment for the full amount of $12,000 as damages. Eighth District Court—Suit for Damages. George Gallagher vs. Z. D. Briuckman.— In this case, plaintiff alleges that on or about the thirteenth of June, 1870, he was grossly abused and violently assaulted and beaten by the defendant. Petitioner shows, that he is and has been for three or four years past an invalid, Suffering from bodily infirmities, rendering him unable to attend to his ordinary avocation, that of book keeping, and barely able to walk without assistance. That on the morning aforesaid, the said Brinckmiin, without any provoca tion. and while petitioner was on his was to the market, commenced abusing petitioner in a vile and outrageous manner, to which petitioner paid no attention, but kept on way, and when r<*ttiming, the said Brinck man crossed the street and came to peti tioner, and caught hold of him aud struck him several blows, to his great hurt and damage, which, owing to his weakuened condition, in consequence of his long illness as aforesaid, petitioner was unable to re sist. For the acts complained of. plaintiff avers that he has suffered damages in the sum of $10,000. Petitioner further avers that on the same day the said Brinkman went to his house, wliile petitioner was absent therefrom, and grossly insulted and abused the wife and family of petitioner, and in consequence of the excitement and suffering caused thereby the wife of petitioner, whose health was also delicate at the time, was confined in bed for several days, from which petitioner has suffered damages iu the further sum of $5000. In view of these alleged facts peti tioner avers that the said Brinkman is in debted to him in the lull sum of $15,000, for which he asks judgment, w ith costs of suit. Succession Sale of Valuable Real Estate this day. —The attention of our readers is called to the sale of valuable real estate, to take place this day, at twelve o'clock, at the St. Charles Auction Ex change, by Messrs. R. M. & B. J. Mont gomery. First—For account of the succession of James Doyle: One cottage house and lot of ground in the Second District, situated at the comer of St. Ann and Galvez streets. Second—For aeeount of the succession of William West Kilpatrick: Valuable lots of ground on New Levee street, between Julia and St. Joseph streets; three lots of ground on Erato street, between Maunsel and Clara streets; two lots on Martin street, be tween Thalia and Erato streets, and three valuable lots of ground on St. Charles street, between Third and Fourth streets. The following is an extract from a private letter from Mr. William H. Baber, a cotton planter near HudsonviUe, Mississippi, to a gentleman in Louisville. The letter is dated fifth instant: My crop is looking well, but if cotton con tinues to decline, I don't think I will be able to realize much profit from my labors in the '•Sunny South." I see speculators have al ready placed their figures on the present growing crop at four million bales, but from all reports that I have heard of the ravages of the lice and the continued rains that we have had, I judge that the erop will certain ly fall far short of that estimate. I see crops around me, and hear of others outside of this county, that have been so completely taken by the grass and weeds, that it is im possible to do anything with them. They got into this condition during the rainy spell, when it was impossible to work them; but. as I said, my crop is looking well, and I am truly thankful for it. THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER. The Excitement Revived—C'rime hi Rhqfl) Island. Last winter, when the body of William P. Augell, a very wealthy citizen of North Providence, Rhode Island, was found in a reservoir, on his own premises, with marks of violence on his person, fully proving that he had been murdered, the searching in vestigation made at the time by the proper authorities failed to throw any light on, or bring the murder home to any party. The excitement which, like all others of the kind, was gradually dying away, has been revived by the arrest of the wife and two sons of the murdered man, and of an Irish laborer, named Fagan, who worked on Angell's farm at the time of the murder. At that time the facts brought out, at the in quest, led to the general opinion that Mr. Angell came to his death in his owa house anil that the crime was committed by in mates of his own family; but the evidence was not legally conclusive enough to war rant an indictment against any of the sus pected parties. The grounds upon wliieh these parties are' now arrested do not seem to be very clear, hut it is likely they are kept dark for good reasons. The rewards offered by the town council of North Providence, and Governor Padelford, amounting to one thousand dol lars, have caused several persons to continue the investigation, among others a Mr. David A. Brown, at whose instance the present ar rests have been made. The whole affair yet remains in mystery, although it may be pre sumed that the arrest of the family was made ftn no trivial pretext, and that a full eclaircisttement is probable. The affair is rendered doubly mysterious from the fact that while it is elaiined that evidence has been gathered, such as will secure the eonvie'tiou of the parties arrested, yet all but the laborer Fagan have been re leased on bonds of $7000 lor each. Fagan re mains in prison. HUMORS OF CARONDELET. Special Telegrams Yesterday. Some one of the Rigdum Funnidosses who most do congregate in the neighborhood of the gold room, seemed yesterday to have awakened to the importance of the sound maxim, " in time of peace prepare for war.' They seemed to be prepttfing their minds for whatever is to come by preparing war be speaking protocols, manifestoes, and forth. As at each war the military art pro gresses and improves, so these military pa pers were improvements on all that had gone before, for they were graphically illus trated with warlike emblems, calculated to fright the souls of fearful adversaries." Judging from one of these affiekes , there is something the matter nearer home. We give a specimen, so that the readers of the Republican can judge for themselves: latest from the seat of war. Owing to severe variations of the weather, the flats of Slaughterhouse point have been swept away by the breakers (brokers). Small craft'have their bottoms, generally, knocked out, aud heuvv sailers ire on the stocks trying to repair damages Good freight in demand. It is evident that this, like the letter that what's-liis-name received, warning him of danger, is altogether inexplicable per se, aud it is proposed, iu the absence of other means of education aud enlightenment, to send the document for interpretation to the college tliat Captain Lemuel Gulliver dis covered at Lagado. THE SHOOTING OF MeCOOLE. A Painful Operation—HI* Fifffctta* Day* Over—A Mysterious Affair. [From the St. Louis Republican.] The shooting of Mike McCoole in his own saloon on Monthly night has created quite a sensation within the realm of the fanoy. particularly owing to the mystery about the affair, and the iirobability that- the Irish giant's fighting days are over. The scene it the office of Dr. *Hodgen. where McCoole was brought to have his wound attended to, had an element of the pathetic in it that was realized by those present. The stal wart form of the prize fighter tested movable couch or chair to a degree it had never before done. He lay stretched out at full length with his head reclining on his right arm. while his left arm, bare and gory, was being operated on by Dr. Hodgen. Tom Kelly held McCoole's left- hand while Billy Carroll and John Powell walked about the surgery much exercised, and de claring they would sooner have a leg cut off than suffer the pain their friend, was do When the doctor discovered the place where the ball had lodged, he had to cut an opening on the opposite side of the arm to where the hall entered, and occasionally lieees of hone would he drawn out whies lad been shattered by the ball. The doc tor had to feel his way, and as hones were caught by the instrument inserted, McCoole would make an ejaculation with an earnest ness which was expressive of the agony «n dured, hut he bore the trial manfully. Once he remarked to Kelly that when the bones were caught it went through him, and Kelly responded that, as he held his hand, he felt every shock. An inquiry was made of Dr. Hodgen as to' the extent of the in jury, and he replied that McCoole would siave a stiff arm. McCoole (anxiously): Will it never be as good as it was before ! Dr. Hodgen: No. McCoole: Never ? Mr. Hodgen: Never as good as it was before. McCoole (with a sigh] : That settles if. Nothing more was said upon this matter, and McCoole lay deeply meditating. The conviction, flashed over his mind that his fighting days were over, and the result of his sadness could not be doubted. Dr. Hodgen had not had such an arm before him for many a long day. seen in the massive symmetry for which McCoole's limbs are remarkable : it shows very clearly his immense strength. Every now ana then McCoole bit his lips, but bore the operation with wonderful coolness, and con versed freely with those in the room. He was emphatic in his declarations that he knew nothing about the affair. He occa sionally asked Dr.' Hodgen to let him rest awhile, and to desist temporarily in his efforts to extract the ball. Real Estate at IIickekville at Auc tion by the Sheriff.— Attention is called to the sale at auction to be made this day at noon, at the Merchants and Auctioneers' Exchange, Royal street, by the Sheriff of the parish of Orleans, of lots of ground sit uate in the toWn of Rickerviile, parish of Jefferson (now parish of Orleans), on Pitt street, between Yalmont and Leontine streets.

ALEXANDER TURNED UP. His Arrest In Massachusetts. The Boston Herald, says: Some time since, United States Marshal Andrews, of tliia district, received from New Orleans a copy of an indictment found by a Louisiana court against one Julius H. Alexander, in which he was charged with fraudulently representing himself to be a special agent of the United States treasury, and so obtaining from Max Dinklespidel, of New Orleans, $250 for pretended violation of certain revenue laws; also for receiving of Wuddy Thompson, Of the same place, $500 on similar grounds, anil also with de manding $1000 from N. 8oria, also of New Orleans. The Ne w Orleans authorities, un derstanding that Alexander was in this neighborhood, requested his apprehension, ana he was arrested in Worcester county Saturday. He was brought to this city and taken before United States Commissioner Hallett, by whom he was held in $2000 for further appearance on Thursday next. Alexander claims that the treasury officers know all about his alleged fraudulent transactions, and that they will, when communicated with, explain-away his apparent irregularity. This is the Colonel Alexander who de ceived Deputy Marshal Loan, and ran away from the City Hotel, leaving a note stating that he was going to drown himself. His baggage is now in United States Mar shal Packard's office in this city. The Hockadny Bankruptcy Case. The St. Louis JieptibUcun of Wednesday says: In reference to the case of Isaac Hocka dav, bankrupt, there appears to be consider able diversity of opinion among the credi tors, some of them claiming that Hockaday, previous to his arrest, was acting in entire good faith with a view that all the creditors should receive the full benefit of the estate. They charge some of the other creditors with procuring his bankruptcy by unfair means while a compromise was pending to save them fifty cents 4Hi the dollar, and that his arrest was*simply a ruse on the part of a number of creditors who were seeking to gain an advantage over others. These, It is stated, aided bv a St. Louis detective, had him arrested while in a St. Louis sleeping car on the Iron Mountain railroad, at De Soto, and took $13,500 from him. Hecka day, it is alleged, was then coming to St. Louis to make arrangements with his credi tors. It is feared that the estate will be wasted in litigation.

Congress adjourned sine die this evening. The President presented the fbllowsng message, which delayed the adjournment of Congress until five o'clock. It provoked some argument, hut produced no result: To the Senate and House of Kepresentatives: Your attention is respectfully called to the necessity of passing an Indian appropri ation bill before the members of Congress separate. Without such an appropriation Indian hostilities are sore to ensue, and with them sufferings, loss of life, and expen ditures vast as compared with the amount asked for. The latest intelligence from Europe indi cates the imminence of a war between France and North Germany. Iu view of this a sound policy indicates the importance of some legislation tending to enlarge the commercial marine of this country. The vessels of this country at the present time are insufficient to meet the demands which the existence of war to Europe will impose upon the commerce of the United States, and I Submit to the consideration of Congress that the interests 4>f the country will be advanced by the opportunity to our citizens, to purchase vessels of foreign con struction for the foreign trade of the country. An act to this effect may be lim ited in its duration to meet the immediate exigency. The foreign mail service of the United States is in a large degree dependent upon the Bremen and Harrisbnrg line of steamers. The PostoAce Department has entered into a contract, in writing, with the two companies above named, and with the Wil liams and Guion lines, respectively, for a regular and continuous servieo of two years. The only arrangement that eotdd be made is with Hie Inman and Cimasd Unes tempor arily, and that may be broken off at any time. The North German lines are first class in point of speed and equipment. Their steamers usually make the trip across the Atlantic in from twenty-four to thirty-six hours in advance of the Williams and Guion line. Should the North German ports be blockaded or impeded by France, our postal intercourse with foreign nations will be greatly embarrassed, unless Congress shall interpose fer its relief. I sfiggest to Congress the propriety of further postponing the time for adjourn ment with tiie new of considering the questions herein communicated. U. S. GRANT. H. P. Farrow, one of the Georgia United States Senators, has issued an address to the members of the Georgia Legislature.

After the announcement that the Corps Legishitif had declared war, Hie following was received from Washington: The Prussian minister's telegram was read in the House, to the effect that Prussia accepts the issue and declares war against Prance.

The Emperor Violently denounced Ollivier's efforts in this direction. The movement of troops toward the Rhine frontier is incessant. Eastern France is absolutely alive with soldiers. Troops, which have hitherto gar risoned Paris, are rapidly leaving, and raw levies are slowly replacing them. Ambulances and caissons throng the streets of the eity on their route to the East. Preparations at the different naval stations are on a similar large scale. It is the general belief here that war will be declared. Pajus, Jnly 15.—The Madrid correspon dent of the Siesle predicts that General Prim will be supported by Sonora Sc alia or General De (Jordoza. London, July 15.— The French declara tion of War is based on the following <$auses: Rrst—The insult offered at Ems to Count Benedetti, and its approval by the Prussian government. Second—The refusal of the King of Prus sia to compel the withdrawal of Princo Leopold's name as a candidate for the Span ish throne. Third—The fact that the King persisted in giving the Prince liberty to accept the Spanish crown. The extra Constitutionnel charges that the action of Prussia in relation to these mat ters awakens the slumbering recollections of 1814: "Let us cross the Rhine and avenge those insults of Prussia by victories that will survive teat of Jena.'' The excitement in Paris is intense. Berlin, July 15.—The North German Ga zette hasu dispatch from Ems to-day. giving the particulars of the withdrawal of Beue detti.
