Avrains iy Western Vincinia—The Wheel- ing Intelligencer of the Ist inst., says: A bleody tragedy occurred at the town of ‘Warsaw, on the Obio river, one day last week. It soqene that as the fleet of steamers bearing Wynkoop’s cavalry regiment passed the tov n the Unionists, who were gathered on the bank of the river, commenced cheering, when a man named John Leonard drew a large cleaver, and swore he could whip six Lincoln men. He shot at a Union man named Clemmons, who returned the fire, and Leonard fell mortally wounded. A general shooting then began, in the course of which twenty-four shots were fired.* Talbot , & brother of Jobn, was shot and in- stantly killed. Both of these Leonards were vio- lent Secesaionists, and have been the cause of all the troubles in that place. Clemmons received a Pistol shot through the hand, and John Oliver ‘was shot through the arm. The two Leonards out of the way—one of them dead and the otber mortally wounded—end the nt ended.

It is this—that they remove their camp fires at Budd's Ferry fur- ther from the river shore. The rebels it ap- pears, as soon as the fires are lighted, alm their loaded guns directly at them. If a steamer or other vessel passes, the light of fire after fre is momentarily eclipsed, and just at the instant of obscuration the guns which have been aimed are fired, and the chancesare fair that the intervening. object will be struck. The steamers are not visi- ble at night when the moon is shining, as has been abundantly proved, and these low camp fires add considerably to the risk of running the batteries. The laborers at the yard—about two hundred— bave been busy lately, under the direction of their foreman, Mr. White, in grading and graveling about the yard. Thus the approaches to the sev- eral wharves and slips on the river front are now atall times hard and dry. The large open space at the west side of the yard—heretofore a mud- hole—has been filled and covered with gravel and cinders, making a fine avenue along towards the ordnance department. Many other recent im- provements are due to the energy of the excellent officers In cnarge of the yard. GENERAL BENHAM’S CASE. We apprehend that the correspondent of the Associated Press, and many others who are writing to papers far and wide that the charges against General Benham have been virtually quashed bythe Commander-in-chief, are wholly in error. The court of inquiry reported to court- martial him; and we learn he demanded 2s wit- nesses necessary to his due defence, the attendance of many officers now serving under General Buell in Kentacky, whose presence there at this junc- ture cannot possibly be dispensed with, except with great injury to the public interest. Hence it became absolutely necessary to postpone the trial, unless denying him the attendance of the parties for whom heasksas being necessary to his due defense. It 1s plain that so soon as circumstances will Permit the attendance of his witnesses here, the trial will take place. RETURNED. Capt. Dickinson, of 3d infantry, U.S A., and Captains Shillington and Monson, of the New York 79th—late prisoners in Richmond—reached Fortress Monroe, by flag of truce, yesterday, and this city this forenoon.

Hicxs.—Gov. Hicks, of Mary- land, has just laid before the Legislature of that State bis last message. The e is confined Principally to local affairs, calling the attention of the Legislature to the new apportionment of members of Congress, and the necessity of divid- ing the State into five Congressional districts. The Governor submits the reports of the com- missioners on the part of Maryland to ascertain and define the southeastern and northwestern boundaries between Maryland and Virginia The tracing and marking of the western line of the State, from the ‘Fairfax stene”’ to the north ern boundary of Maryland, was completed du- ring the summer of 1860. The work was com- menced in 1859, with the co-operation of Virginia, in conformity with chapter 275 of the acts of 1852. The commissioner on the part of Virginia falled to join in the completion of the survey; but it being a matter of great importance to Allegany county that It shonid be no longer delayed, the commissioner for Maryland completed the work as required by chapter 325 ofthe acts of 1860. The commissioner for Virginia was invited tojoin the commissioner for Maryland in making the south- ern line between the Pocomoke and the Atlantic, the necessary surveys for which had been made at the joint expense of the two States. No an- swer was received to that proposition, and the intentions of the Legislature, in this regard, have not been carried out Re also supgests the epety of taking meas- ures to ascertain the will of the people in relation to the assembling of a convention to reform the State constitution, the condition of the State and National affairs rendering a change in their or- ganic law imperatively necessary. ——$$_$_______ Briver BURNino anp Exxcutions.—The Mis- souri Democrat bas the following dispatch : Quincy, Dec. 25 —Last night the rebels burned two bridges over Fabius river, on the Palmyra and Quincy Railroad. One was four miles and the other eight miles from this city. It is thought there is a concerted movement among the secessionists of northern Missouri to burn all the bridges on the raflroads in that sec- tion. The citizens of Quincy are somewhat alarmed, as the rebels have frequently threatened to burn this place. About 90 prisoners are now at Palmyra, 33 of whom are charged with burning bridges and tearing up the railroad track. On Christmas aight, through the negligence of the guard, five of the bridge burners esca; . Yesterday a court-martial was convened at Pal. myra, to try the remainder. Col John Groesbeck, of the 89th Ohio, is President, and Capt. Binmore, ot Beart ae judge Advocate. Six rebels plead guilty of bridge burning, and ti win be shot. The court-martial is ill in rel sion. 1 am informed that the telegraph line between bere and ure is destroyed fa several places; also, between Palmyra and St. Joseph. pa a aaa Bownp Fox THE SouTH.—Yesterday brought to light a transaction which has given rise to no little talk, especially among owners and masters of vessels.

There the brig was brought to, and the captain,with some six or eight persons looked upon as passengers, left her forthe irginia shore, taking with them several large chests, supposed to have contained quantities of medicine—such as quinine, optum, calomel, &c , and which is so scarce now in the South—together with various otber articles of prime necessity, and which are Worth, in the South, more than their weight gold.

Mason and Slidell were delived up day forenoon, and left Fort Warren atabout 11 o'clock. The arrangement for their return ‘was very quietly made, and nothing was known in Boston of the affair until the hour arrived for their departure. ‘The steam tug bost Starlight was employed by the government to convey the prisoners to Pro- vincetown, Cape Cod, where they are to be tran: ferred to the British gunboat Rinaldo, which ar- rived at that port on’ Monday night. In accordance with the above plan of releasing the rebels, the tug boat Starlight left Boston shortly before ten o’cleck yesterday forenoon and stopped at Fort Warren, whereshe took on board Mason and Slidell and their two secretaries, After receiving their bagzage, &c., the tug pro- ceeded on her way to sea, .eavirg the fort about 11 o'clock. The whole affair was conducted witbout any display, in perfect quiet, and in the ordinary manner of conveying pat ers. The tug boat probably reached Provincetown yesterday afternoon, and the prisoners will be transferred without delay to the British gunboat, N.Y. Commercial, 2d Muncantice INDeBrepNass ov THE SourH — The annual circular of the Mercantile Agency says: n response to the Inquiry of many of our lead- ne merchants, who have called upon us for re- Hable statistical information as to the mercantile indebtedness of the South to Northern merchants, we are enabled to state that by a very close ex- amination of our books, confirmed by other sources of information, there is due the four cities of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti- more about $211.000,000, divided as follows: New York .$159,400,000) Baltimore... 819,000,000 Philadelphia 24 (600,000 | Boston seeeee 7,600,000 In the dry goods interest alone in these cities our estimates show that New York loses $75,000,- 000; Philadelphia, $14,000,000; Baltimore ee 000, and Boston $2,000,000; making a total in- debtedness to the dry goods trade of $97,500,000. From this and other data, we estimate the total liabilities of the South to the Northern States at or near $300,000,000. The above estimates, with the advantages and facilities we We can safely affirm are more nearly correct than can in any other way be determined.
