THE DEAD BODY OF A MAN FOUND IN A LADY'S TRAVELING TRUNK. The Baltimore Sun of this morning says: A very mysterious affair has just come tuo light in Raltimore, the particulars of whicn, so far as has been ascertained, is as follows :—On the arrival of the Fortress Monroe steamer, on Friday morning, a woman, dressed in biack, of medium eize and thin features, who was a passenger on board, engaged Mr. John Stark, hackman, to convey her and her trunk toa boarding-house, where she could spend the day, aecigning to leave in the evening train of the Northern Centrai railway for Chicago. Here the kept herself yery secluded during the entire day, whenever seen by any of the fam- ily being closely teiled. She declined eating during her stay, partaking only of a cup of coffee, alleging 4s an excuse that she was sut- fering with asevere headache. AboutSo’clock the same evening, Mr. Stark again called for her, and took her to the station, who she re- anested to attend to her trnnk fora moment, she stepy Scross .he street to jake purchases. She went outof the tront en- ©. which was the last seen of her, The Mh Walted sume boars, whan he nn} the Rage, & very large-sized traveling trank, on « hack and drove home, placing it in his unouse, where it re :ained until Saturday ove- ning, about So’clock. The wife of Mr. Stark, who was absent, about this time imagined that an offensive smell came from the trunk, and sent for Mr. John Burns, residing at No. ~ Granby street, who, on arriving at the house, and after consulting with some friends, pro- cured & chisel and prized it open, when to his horror he discovered that the contents con- sisted of the dead body of aman. Heatonce closed the trunk, and giving information to the police, it was carried to the central po- lice station, and the body placed in the dead- house. The body of the unfortunate unknowa ap- peared to be that of a man ahout forty years ot age, sandy hair, dressea only in a shirt and pants. There were n0 marks of violence on the body, and the preyailing impression is that the man, from some motive or otherentered the trunk alive, and died trom suffucation. There were several holes in the sides of the trank, made from the inside, as if by the unfortunate man in order to get air, Coroner Brewer summoneda jury of ingnest yesterday, @ full investigation of the marter was had, but no facts other than those giyen above were elicited, and the jury rendered a verdict of “death from causes unknown to the jury.” _The general supposition is that the man was either asoldier or “bounty jumper,” and, aided by the woman, was in the act of deserting, buat being left too Jong in thetrnnk, died tor want ot air. Acolored porter on board the Fortress Monroe steamer is confident that he saw the trunk cn hoard the boat on Thursday night last on the trip up the bay. Previous to leaving the boarding house on Watson street the woman nailed 4 card w the top of the trunk, on which was written “Mrs. Brown, Chicargo.’ About half-past § o'clock last evening, the wormin connected with the above mysterous affair gave herself up to Captain Snavely, of the western police station, and she made a statement substantially as follows :—Her name is Mary Louisa Linder, @ native of Germany, residing at the corner of Little Water street and Good Side lane, Norfolz, Va. She ac- Knowledges herself to be a woman of lewd habits, and had jived on terms of intimacy with the deceased during the pastthree months. The name of the man was Samuel Freeborn, but she is unable to state from what part of the country he hailed; he led her to believe he was thitry-one years of age. When she first became intimate with him, the deceased was 2 ci'izea, but shortly thereafter enlisted as a private in ean New York cavalry, on duty at Nor- folk. Sometwo months since, Freeborn obtained leave of absence from cemp and came to her honse, but overstaying his time he was afraid to go back and became a deserter. Since tha: time he has been coucealed in her house. A few weeks since he conceived the idea of making his escape by the very means which subsequently caused his death. Miss Linder asserts that she nsed every persuasion to cause him to give up the plan, but witkont success. Previous to attempting the carrying out of the novel mode of escape, he told her he had tried it before, and actually caused himself to be locked up in the trnnk during the time usually occupied by the boat in making the trip trom Norfolk to Baltimore, coming ont without in- jury. She avers thatshe continued to dissuade im from his purpose, but he succeeded at last, by ardent entreaties, in causing her to consent to act her part in this plan. On the arrival of the boat in Baltimore she ‘Went to a private boarding honse on Watson street, and, as soon as she could do so without exciting suspicion, she opened the trnnk, and was almost paralyzed by finding Freeborn dead. She states that she did not know what to do, and in her terror adopted the plan she dig of getting rid of the body, but that after leaving the Oalvert station she wandered the entire night distractedly through the streets until lastevening, when she found she could stand it no longer, and resolved to give her- self up and tel] all she knew of the affair. Marshal Garmichgel detained ber at his of- fice last night, and this morning she will be handed over to Col. Woolley. & a e inslow-Kea: dinner, Philadelphia, shoe {7A Water Board has been organized in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

He is in our Rhandas well cared for. A raiding party of the enemy landed in Westmoreland on Monday, committing a good many depredations, and then left. | The Nature of his Wound. [From the Richmond Examiner, Dec. 27.] l1thas been known inthis city for several days past that Colonel Mosby was wounded seriously while en routs for his command in Fauquier on Wednesday last. The particulars, so for as reported, represent that he was at- tacked by a partyofthe enemy at a private house, whither he bad repaired to avoid them, where they discoyered him. He, supposing that they would know him commenced shoot- ing at them, after killing and wounding four of his assailants, he tell seriously wounded, the enemy having immediately returned his fire. It appears, however, that they did not recog- nize him, and supposing that he was mortally wounded, they lefthim. He is now in a safe place, and, it is thought, will soon be oat of danger from bis wound. Hood Supposed te be all Right at Ceolum- i {Frem the Richmond Examiner, Dec. 25 } jood’s despatch is said to be in the hauds of the government, but of fts contents nothing is “known by others. The last certain informauon of Hood is to the effect that he is rallying his army at Columbia. He bronght seventy pieces of cannon back to the southern bank of the river. Hehas not lost more menin killed or wounded than the enemy, and the army might be rapidly rendered efficient by a more able commander. The great loss of Hood is the moral loss. The enemy is not pressing him— not, we think, because they are unable to do #0, bat bec: they do not desire to do Ifhe would stay at Columbia during the war, they Would be well satisfied. The enemy's leaders were delighted when he went gn his moon- shine campaign, and would probably regret his return to the scene of real operations. Further Exchange ef P From the Richmond Examider, Dec. 2 | 1} that is known of affairs near Wilmington is contained in’ cur telegtaphic despatches from that point. A very false idea of the geo- gtaphy of the coast appears to prevail with some cotemporary journals, and a great deal more importance has been attached by them to the landing effected by the enemy near Fort Fisher than the matter deserved. The exchange of prisoners is about to Be re- sumed at Wilmington. Itis singular that the enemy has been allowed to choose every port they are about to attack as the point of ex- ehange. But with the commissioners of the Sonfederate States they have always appeared do as they pleased. THE WILMINGTON EXPEDITION. The Norfolk New Regime on the 2th ult whose editor sccompanied the expedition against Fort Fisher, attributes the failure of the attack to a iack uf cv-operation and the premature explosion of the torpedo at a time when, 48 he sfys, ‘the naval fleet was i or" miles away, and the army fleet ridfhg out the sierm in Beautort harbor, It further says Ad- rairal Porter did not commence the bombara- raent till twelve hours after the explosion Speaking of General Weitzell’s reconnoisance after Admiral Porter bad expressed to Gen Butler the opinion that there was no revels within five miles of the fort. [t states: «He (Weitzel) found the contrary to be the case, and that there was a good deal to do be- sides throwing troops into what was supposed to be anempty fort. He discovered, fram the Tisoners he had taken, that there were elgh undred men in the work; that instead of thirty-six guns, there were nearer sixty: that the men inside were snugly lyiug in their casemates, and patiently watching the fast de- ecending missiles of the fleet. He learned, too, thaton Tuesday of last week Hoke's division had set out from Richmond, and that one bri- gade of it was then encamped within 2 mile of the garrison, Fortifying this story of the pris- oners, came 8n attack behind him, opon the troops which were landing. The Brookiyn defended the disembarking warriors tn a man- ner worthy of all praise; still it was necessary for the coidiers to do something for themsel vee. They pushed into the woods, and the “bush- whackers,” or whatever they were, for a time disappeared. Things looked a little stormy justthen. Our men were in the situation of soldiers etriving to take Fortress Monroe, with the sea bebind them, and six thousand men of all arms on their flank, with a regiment of South Carolina cavalry at Masonboro’. General Butler moved down in the direction cf the fort, and consulted with Weitzel. That gallant oilicer, though ihe prize was tempting— sud it he bad succeeded in capturing the fort his glory wouid ve large—at once decided that the work could ot, in view of snrrowuding circumstances, be carried by assunlt. Colenel Comstock, I believe. concurred in this. The wind bad, by this time, Changed, and, after a short consullaticn, it was decided to re-embark the troops. ‘The writer says there was a geveral want of co-operation between the land and naval forces, and uncertain' information, and concludes with the tollowing descriptiou of Fort Fisher, which he states was uninjured by the bom- bardment: cS Fort Fisher, from all I saw and heard, is a eqnare bastioned fleid work, with trouts of about two hundred and fifty yards in length, and with strong relief, ditch, and glacis on every side but the water front; a@ stockade running from the coanterscarp of the north front to the water’s edge. The only front of which I had accurate observation and report is the north front, and on this there is an ele- vated bastion next to the sea, and along the curtain flanks and faces were counted seven. teen guns, with @ traverse rising apparentiy six feet above the parapet, between each pair of guns. Trese traverses are so large that they are believed to be bomb-proofs. The point is sit- uated on the point of land between the sea and Cape Fear myei, where the pointhasa width of about >00 yards, and about 100 yards trom, the ocean beach, the ground immediately around the work being weil seen. A rebe! sansa states thatthe work is entered by ¢. ridge about 20) teet long, over a ditch from 4 to 10 feetin depth. Itis believed, fr Te- ports of nayal officers and whaz , thaton the sea front all of the casemated. J believe the wo.k to fully garrisoned, ag they had three regiments of Kirland’s brigade, fries division, im reserve, above Sugar Loat il. The proper method of defense of this work, subjected as it hus been to a heavy shell fire, ‘would be to put all the men into the bomb- proofs, excepting a *®w as lookouts and sem- timels, and keep them there until the very Moment of assault This method seems to have been the one adopted, as the fire on our skirmishers, as long as the naval fire contin- ued, wis very slight. Tne moment that ceased, the musketry fire became very heavy, and was accompanied by grape, canister and shell. ®F The rebel Legislature of Virginia has yoted #10 a day to its members and $15,000 a year to the Governor of the Staw.
