Eighty Men Raise the Standard of Revolt Against 2 Keeper=Accident to a Convict. On Tuesday afternoon one of the shoe shops of the New Jersey State Prisop, occupied by about eighty convicts, Yas the soit Fg ‘an Securrénce so alarming and threatening in its character as to give rise to the most serious apprehensions. On visiting the in- stitution yesterday the principal keeper, Mr. Walker, furnished the following facts concerning the re- yolt:—On Thursday of last week the superinten- dent of the shoe shop, Mr. Bergen, was taken ill, and dur ing his indisposition a temporary substitute was provided to take charge of the department, Matters were apparently conducted with rena but sull some strange demeanor among the convicts indicated trouble. Under such circumstances ex- traordinary precautions were used, but nothing oc- curred to confirm any Lye ay itl Tuesd: afternoon, when the convicts, after bel marche to their work after-dinner, resumed their seats, but refused to take off their jackets and go to work under their new keeper, denouncing him as a tyrant and erm ag: > none of the hu- mane characteristics of their old keeper, Mr. Be . The principal keeper was immediately apprised of the unwonted insubordination, and in cor with two of the inspectors, Messrs. Pear- gall and Davis, hurried to the shoe shop. Walker addressed the men in conciliatory terms, but, although manifesting no violent disposition, et steadily refused to work under the new keeper. ie Inspectors, realizing the critical aspect of 8 and the dangerous proximity of the rest of the con- victs, considered the most prudent course to have the revolutionists returned to their colls. Mr. Pearsall accordingly gave the signal, which was un- heeded by each and every individual. Again Mr. Walker deliberated with the Coe ing them that the new keeper would only officiate dur- ing the indisposition of Mr. Bergen, and requestin them to resume work. The speaker's words were 0! no avail; so at last Mr. Pearsall, one of the inspec. tora, announced his imtention of taking charge of the shop for the afternoon, on hearing which the convicts cheered lustily with the ratification of having been triumphant tn their demands. On Mr. Pearsall assuming control the men went to work with cheerfulness, and thus by the ta of the officiaia in yielding to eat «Of =O many desperate men very serious conse. ences were, most probably, averted. Yester- v one of the most efficient aud popular keepers of the establishment, Mr. Baxter, was placed in charge of the shop, since when no Sotrectory clement has appeared. . Walker acknowledges the keeper against whom tle convicts revolted as an attentive and useful omcer, but that he might have somewhat indiscreetly. Yesterday while one of the convicts, named Hull, was e in cutting leather in the shoe shop, the knife accidentally slipped and severed his thumb completely from his hand. Medical at- u tendance was immediately procured and the wan Was removed to the hospital. CBITVUART. Lonls McLane Hamilton, son of Mr. Philip Hamilton, grandson of General Alexander Hamilton and of Louis McLane, and late @ captain of cavalry in General Custer’s command, ‘was recently killed in an encounter with a large, con- centrated Indian force on the Washita river. The brave Major Eliot and nineteen privates were also among the dead, and a number of officers were dan- gerously wounded.

A i order of morals and conscientious habits of life, found united with cool daring, courage and profes- sto4al ability, have been features in the mili aud naval biographies of all enlightened nations. mm among & number of names may be recalled the familiar ones of the celebrated Colonel Gardiner, in- terest brougnt to notice in “Waverley; of Captain Vickars, who fell in the Crimea; Havelock, and among Se sem known and distin- guished as “Stonewall Jackson.” Colonel Gardiner became @ Christian soldier by a sudden transition from extreme dissoluteness and dissipation; while the whole life ef the Rescuer of British India seems to have been consistently unexceptionable, winning respect ration even from those op} to his severing and successful ef to promote @ manly recognition of the obligati of religion, as well among oiticers as in the ranks, The young and closely observing subject of these comments could but become strongly and admiringly impressed, in common with friends and foes, with the stern, sol- emn, practical daily religion of the Lrg brave, sagacious and successful Southern leader al- ready mentioned, whose resignation to the will of a Power without whose providence no soul is called home, efabled him to look upon his own nearing death, as we are now tempted to regard it, as one of beneficent and merciful dispensation. It has been observed by the most prominent writer of the Fede ratist “that men of the truest lives and loftiest intel- lect are often found on the wrong as well as on the right side of questions of the greatest moment to the welfare of society; and among the crowd of youthful heroes who fell on either side of the late disastrous civil strife, fought with a valor, sincerity of belief and truth of purpose, and at a sacrifice of life without a paraliel in the wars of modern times, none more pure of heart and life, honorable, chivalric and daring in the arena of con- test, warm and true in SA enthusiastic aud untiring in duty than young Hamiiton (one of whose great ancestors, at the side of Washington in the flela and at the head of “stormers” carrying a redoubt at Yorktown, aided to win independence for a now great people), to clear a way for whose grand march of westward empire, fiercely obstructed by mys- teriously doomed aboriginal savages, this descendant of that'statesman and soldier, Alexander Hamilton, bas contriputed his young unsuilied life at the cail of that country and in the brave and stalwart render- ing of soldierly duty, Major Joel H. Elliott, United States Army. ‘This gallant officer, one of those killed at the recent battle fought near the Wachita river, between Gen- eral Custer’s cavalry and Black Kettle’s band of Cheyenne Indians, was born in the State of Indiana about the year 1839. Upon the outbreak of the rebellion he enlisted as a private in one of the Indiana volun- teer cavalry regiments, At Perryville, Ky., as areward of gallantry, he received a lieutenantcy, and subse- quently rose to captain and major and_ brevet coionel. He entered the Lae army on March 7, 1867, and was commissioned by original appointment major of the Seventh United States cavalry. During the present year, prior to the arrival of General Cus- ter, he commanded the regiment. When he set out on the present campaten Major Elliott expressed to Several brother officers his determination to do something worthy of the regiment if he got an op- tunity. His life has proved the penatty of so gal- lant a resolution. When last seen he was in the full tide of the performance of deeds of desperate valor. That he should have been sacrificed im the manner in which he has constitutes one of those untorto- nate episodes beyond the control of man. Neither major Elilott’s body nor those of the mea who were with him have been recovered. Gilbert Davis. We regret exceedingly to announce that Governor Gilbert Davis, solong and well Known to the citi- zens of this city as “Governor of Coney island,” died on Monday last at the advanced age of eighty-two years. There was no more popular and pleasant man among the people of New York than was the de- ceased. Genial, warm-hearted and clever, he was the spirit of hunting and fishing parties, and as gen- rai purveyor of clam feasts was Unsurpassel. jany of our old residents, when reading ot his death, will recall to memory many associations of theirs in which he bore a prominent part. Mr. Davis was a liquor dealer in this city for more than forty years, and during this long space of time was disunguished for his uprightness and fair dealing, Peace to his ashes. per- NEW ORLEANS AS A GREAT DISTRIBUTING GRAIN MARKET.

With the near approach of the holidays and the pertod of general settlement of accounts the num- ber of auction sales of real estate are vecowing “small by degrees and beautifully less,” and auc- tioneers and speculators alike exhibit a disposition to rest from their labors for awhile, such condition of feeling, it may be observed in the case of the first mentioned class, being rather the result of neces- sity growing out of the indifference and other occu- pations of the latter than of their own motion. The Prevailing activity in money is not favorable to speculation of any kind at this time, and is sum- cient to keep one considerable proportion of opera- tors from the auction mart, while the advantage of leaving balances in savings banks undisturbed at present, in order to obtain the half year’s interest due the 1st of January, restricting others from pur- chasing for a few weeks, renders it not unlikely that we have nearly come to the last sales of the year. ‘The wind up of real estate transactions for the ear 1868 has been appropriately distinguished, jowever, by one of the largest operations of this ir which have yet been recorded, This is the sale recently effected by E. H. Ludlow & Co., of the property bounded by the Broadway Boulevard and Tenth avenue, Sixty-third and Sixty-tifth streets, comprising two fuil blocks west of Ninth avenue, and a gore block east of Ninth avenue, The sum paid for this, $900,000, shows how great has been the appreciation of property occastoned by the establishment of the Park and the carrying out of subsidiary improvements, Ne not applicable to this, where the dispro- portion of the present valuation and that of eight Years since is so great, but its spprecianion, every- yh! considered perfectly logical, yet as it brings up the idea of the rapid increase of the value of real es- tate on Marhattan island during the last decade and the question of its healthful advance or undue infla- tion, it may be remarked here, en passant, that in comparing pore appraisements with those of ten years ago it should be borne in mind that the value how Is expressed in a debased currency, worth less than seventy-five per cent of its face value.
