At the outpreak of the rebellion he voluntecred his services to the government and was appointed Colonel of the Fifteentn Indiana regiment of volun- teers, which he raised and organized. For gallant and meritorious services on the battle field he was appointed a brigadier general in the Union army, with commission to bear date of November 29, 1862, His military career was a brilliant and successful one, ‘The deceased first served in West Virginia under General J, J.

A telegram from Louisvilie announces the death, at Leavenworth, Ind., on Tue: last, of Aaron Jones, the well known pugilist, in the thirty-sixth year of his age.

THEATRICAL NOTES, We learn from the English papers that Miss Lydia Thoinpson and Mr. Alexander Henderson, the but- lesque manager, were united in matrimony after their arrival in New York. The “Adams nights,” as Saturday nights at Booth’s are called, will be devoted to standard drama, with Mr. Edwin Adams in the leading rdles. “Narcisse,”” on Saturday next, will inaugurate the series. “Tis sweet for our country to dye,” and, inspired by that patriotic feeling, several of our most charm- ine American brunettes have stained their tresses ye iow, to maintain the supremacy of American auty on the stage. Mckean Buchanan and his accomplished daughter, according to the advertisement, are nightly “hailed by enthusiastic audiences as the greatest of the age.’” Greatest what? We are grieved to hear that Miss Lydia Thompson has been harassed by an avaricious playwright, who actually demands his hire for localizing *‘Ixton."’ If anything can excuse repudiation it is such a case as this. {t 1s notortously a fact that Miss Thomp- wae yellow hair did the business of the public, and without “Ixion” or any piay at all she would have achieved @ greater triumph.

The Harlem Yacht Club Ball. The ball last night at the National Hall, Harlem, the nirst ever given by the Yacht Club of that locality, was characterized by three prominent features, which, setting aside its other attractions, would alone have made it-a great success. These were beauty, fashion and thorough enjoyment. There ‘was a cordiality surrounding the entire affair that not only spoke volumes for the heartiness of its spirited promoters, but will render its successor @ matter for joyous anticipation. The na lem Yacht Clud ts not an of extensive proportions, yet few will t the an: merous and chivalric contests iy its aus- pices came off last year.

Beyond question the ar- rangement were admirable, and the committee, for te judicious discrimination exercised, was amply rewarded by the presence of a very select and fashionable assemblage. With the exception of some brilliant jets the hall was not decorated, but its appearance Was nevertheless handsome and pic- turesque; for the varied and exquisite toilets of the ladies were suflicient to render the scene one of considerable attractiveness in an artistic point of view. Grafulla’s excellent band was in attendance, and the sweet and fascinating strains of the popular “Genevieve” quickly aroused the terpsichorean propensities of the and elegant turong. A lengthened programme of dancing was commenced with the most favorable prospecis. As midnight By egg the attendance was largely augmented by fresa arrivals, unti! the bailroom be- came @ scene of great pitasure ana animation. Awong those present were Commodore and Miss Longstreet, Mr. aud Miss Roberts, Mr. Mrs. and Miss Campbell. Altogether the pall was a cotnpiete suc- cess, und redounds much to the credit of the mem- bers of the club, which is now becoming an excel- lent instituuion, Ball of the Tammany Coteric. ‘The bali of the Tatmmany Union Club, Masquerade Coterle, which came off last night at Irving Hall, wis an exceedingly “live” affair. Conspicuous among ve fair guests were a number of theatrical stars of varied size and more or leas dazzling bril- Nancy.

The con- didon of the bond is three fold—it provides that he shall truly and faithfully execute the duties of his Office; he shall pay over to the govern- ment public moneys, and his epee collector must well and faithfully periorm the business of his office.

This was the this office; the first time @ whiskey d in New York had ever sought to bring whiskey to New Jer- sey. New Jersey was the it place he would want to store it. There was every pircum- stance to excite suspicion in this removal. If the owner of the whiskey really wanted to trans- rt it to California, why bring it over to New Jersey * How was it possible to reconcile this with any honest purpose There was no steamer or vessel going from Jersey City. It would have to be taken back again to New York. But why should the whiskey go to California? That fact alone should aronse Suspicion. No one would go to the expense of removing it to California when the tax at the time cost more than the whiskey. Why apply for a permit to transport it to California? Because if transported to any district other than on the Pacific coast only two months were allowed, whereas six months were author- ized to elapse by its being removed to California before a receipt of ita arrival was required. Thé last bonds were 80 altered that six months were substi- tuted for thirty days. With everything to excite suspicion, wast was the conduct of Thorne? Gar- dener, the clerk, firstsaw the bond on his table. He | did not know how it got there. Colonel Thorne did. | ‘Thorne did not ask Gardener if he knew the prine!- pal and sureties, or witnesses, or who were te re- nsible parties, Gardener told Thorne the resi- dences of the parties were not given. He told Gar- dener the matter would be attended to.
