The Case of Captain Peabody, of the Ship Neptune—Evidence for the Defence, Yosterday Commissioner Stilwell resumed the furthor hearing of the case of Captain Peabody. Evidence was offered on behalf of the Captain, for whom Mr. Beebe appeared. ‘ BVIDENCE OF THE THIRD MATR, Henry Wallace, the third mato, was examined at some length. After describing the condition of a portion of the crew, and the diflculty, he said, that was experienced by the captain in getting them to work, he added:—The captain fixed up a shod on deck for the men to go into when they had nothing to do; after the vessel sprung aleak tho captain was up noarly all the time; whonever anything “went wron, the captain was sure to be up; Richardd Was a black, an he shipped as an able seaman; be was no seaman; ho haa no clot! se Pa Shove He. stood in; be had a com- forter over his head, and the captain gave bim a sou- wester and a pair of panta!oona, which, f baliove, he had on when he came ashoro; if a seaman keeps his clothes on for u long time in the wot he will got aalt water boils; I had pleaty of clothes; I got bolls on my wrists; Rich- ards was in the mate's watch; Iwas in chargo of the self away whenever he got the chance; he was ards with a cowhido; the weather was very rough as we starboard gang the morning before Christmas when they | to guard against @ similar exigency durng the period were pumping; Richards was one of that pang; some of | Of greatest danger from the dreaded visitation. that gang were not pumping at atl; so many of thom | I am relably advised that indications are wore not pumping that I did not notice any one in par- | 20t wanting that the cholera will very soon pear in our country. The permanent quarantine es- tablishment cannot be constructed in time to meet the necessities of the spring and summer. * In view of these facts the Commissioners ask that in addition to an immediate appropriation for deficiencies, a sufficient amount be F at their disposal to onable them to provide such tetaporary facititics as occasion shall require. The amount deemed necessary for both of those purposes is fifty thousand dollars, and I recommend that an early appropriation’of that amount be made. Talso doom it proper to recommend some appropriate logisiation to meet one of the main difficulties encoun- tored by the Health Officer in administering the quaran- tine laws, aris.ng fromthe want of a suitable place for the detention of passengers who have been exposed to dis- ease, but are uot actually sick. The Secretary of War, upon my application, promptly placed tho steamer Illinois at the di ‘of the State whon thocholera appeared in epee of Now York. Fortunatcly, however, the decline of the disease rondered it unnecessary for the State to avail itself of this generous offer, It is believed the goneral Fy ome would grant a sufficient number of vessels for temporary use by thi arantine authorities—an ar- rangoment the of which can hardly be over- chin Bgl Benge ge tend agian argh ing hospitals, places of dotention, docks, &c. would necessarily extond into the season of greatest danger. Falling in this, « ticular; [told toom to pump; th> captain just then came up; I did not ace the captain strike any one with the belaying pin. Q If the captain struck Richards from etx to thirty times with the belaying pin, you would have geen it ? A, Yea, tor I had my eyes on’all the men; I know Levi Cox, who is an able seaman; I nover saw him strike Richards, but he told me he did 60, while Richards was asleep at the whool; that is a dangerous pace to sleep; during all the time I was on board I nover saw the cay tain strike Richards, excopt witt: his open hand to make him pump; the morning Richards was thrown over tho wheel it was blowing a galo of wind; if it had beon lowing heavily then wo, might have had everything on dock washed off; wo might ‘have lost spars. Q During, yoar experience as @ seaman have you ever secn such a passage as this? A. I mever saw such heavy weathor; Richards wag a man who always stowed bi “gkulker;" I did not hear that the captain struck Rich- were coming down the Channol; the ship was in grost dango r. Q How many officers and men were%on board that ship who could do their duty—who brought in the vea- sel? A. Eight; we had some Canuckers on board from the Shenandoah ; Iwas taking in sail when Richards was thrown over the wheel.

Sixty Prominent Citizens of Louisiana Under Arrest for Murdering Negroes ltural Association in Ali ma, de. New Onueaxs, Jan, 22, 1806. Sixty prominent citizens of De Soto parish are under ‘military arrest at Shreveport, La,, charged with murder ing negroes, Constant and serious complaints from the interior of the parish are made of the unwillingness of the freedmen to make contracts, One city editor learns from prominent business men that it is well understood in the parishes that parties are at work underhanded, who have influence with the freedmen, who induce them to disregard the order of the Freedmen’s Bureau, with a view of compelling old owners of plantations to sacri- fice thom for lack of labor, when these gentry would step in, buy them at small rates, promising the freed- men to give them certain advantages. ‘There is no post office or postmaster at Alexandria, La. Three loyal applications were forwarded some time since to Washington for the place. In Monroe county, Ala., an agricultural association has been instituted by Southern mon, which combines the functions of the local agent of the Froedmen’s Bureau with their President in the same purpose. It is suc- ceeding admirably. Able-bodied negroes are set at work, the young and old are lod for, and there is no drunkenness nor bp oreo in the county, - A ae Liat noted horses have hyety at Lapod for 8 races. Many prominent turf men, their horse: ey Ha Louisville, Cincinnati and Nashville, are in New Orleans on their way to Mobile. Tho Fortieth, Forty-second and Eighty-sixth negro regiments, on duty at Mobile and Huntsville, will be mus- tered out in a few days. Shreveport advices say the river is slowly rising above. ‘The receipts of cotton from the interior are again on the increase, Serious Affray on Shipboard.

Avery serious affray, resulting in the probable death of one of the.parties, occurred on board the Havana and Vora Cruz steamship Manhattan at pier No. 8 North river yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock. The particulars of tho affair, as furnished by Captain Brackett and rounds- man Muldoon, of the Twenty-sixth precinct police, are ‘as followe:—The firemen and coalpassers on the steamer had some diffiolty with thé officers on the home- ward voyage regarding their duty, and on their arrival in port bale some threats against the life of» Mr. H Curwin, the see As Mr. Curwin did not arpe: promptly on board auip at qe pi ine hour yesterday, chief oflicor had fears that he had been waylaid coming down the picr, and sent roundsman Mi!doon to look after him. He appeared a few moments afterwards all safe and went on board. Tho firemen and coalpassers directly made an assaulton him, but, being a large, pow- erful man, he fought them until they drove him to the forward part of the ship. THR_S1100TING. Curwin, finding himself hotly pressed, and that he could retreat no further, drew his revolver and fired on his assailanta, The ball took effect in the head of one of the firomen named Michael Haley, who dropped to the deck insensible. The crowd then fell back, leaving the wounded man lying on the deck. Roundsman Muldoon, who had just come down tho pier, heard the report of the platol, and jumped on board the steamer just as the crowd wero retreating from tho officer, Curwin at once surrendered to the officer. The com- rades pf the wounded man became exasperated and threatened Carwin with summary vengeance; but the roundsman drew his revolver and kept them back, and took his prisoner to the Twenty-sixth precinct station house. Captain Brackett sent other officers to take the witnesses into custody. Three of these wero brought up. ‘their nemes are Joseph Price, Patrick O'Day and Archi- baldus Sellurs. THE WOUNDED MAN was taken to the City Hospital by Officer Kivlin, of the Twenty-sixth precinct. An examination of the wound made by the surgeon showed that the ball had entered tho loft temple, lodging inthe brain and inflicting a fatal wound. {t was the opinion of the surgeon that Haley could not live an hour. Haley is stated to be twenty yenrs of age and asingle man. Curwin is twenty-five Paar of age, an ip gerd by birth, and has a family. fe is hold to await the action of the ner.
