Fort Pillow Retaliation Plot—The Whole Story Pronounced a Canard—Kirby Smith not Assassinated. Catrro, May 25.—Gen. Washburne states that the report telegraphed from Memphis a few days since, giving an account of a plot among the negro troops there to massacre the paroled prisoners, and the subsequent shooting of the colored troops, is false in every particular. It was reported at Little Rock that Kirby Smith was being reinforced by men from the east side of the Mississippi river. Pacification in Arkansas is progressing rapidly. The peo- ple are taking the management of guerrillas in their own hands. The New Orleans Times of the 20th very positively asserts that Kirby Smith was not killed. Mrs. Kirby Smith has arrived at Mem- phis from Red River. She represented the po- sition of her husband as extremely critical, as one party threatened to assassinate him if he surrendered and another party threatened to forsake him If he continued to struggle. The Times also learns that the rebel General Hood ard staff crossed the Mississippi river at about inct mark on left shoulder for inform: lith and FP tion leading to its recovery. Corn ts., Island.

Mr. Gox then asked witness to state what he did _in consequence of this message. Mr. Bingham objected, that this was but a metaphysical refinement of the previous ques- tion overruled. Judge Hott said that the question put in that form was perhaps inadmissible under the rules of evidence, but that the defense could probably effect what they aimed at by putting the question thus: “Did you surrender the accused te the offi- cers by the authority of the accused himselt.”* ‘The question was so stated, and the witness answered “I did.” REWARD —Lost, onthe night of the wih inst.,a DIABY BOOK, containing a soldier's The finder will receive the above re- Jeff Davis Manaeled.
