The letter of Montgomery Biair, published in the HERALD of to-day in defence of his brother, Gen- | eral Frank P, Biair, as against the imputations | and comments of General sherman in his Memoirs,” has been the sabject of un- qualifed praise in certain circles to-night. One fact im regard to this letter can now be stated. The Secretary of War, W. W. Belknap was, daring the memorabie attack on McPherson's corps, & colonel, commanding a brigade under Geueral Frank P, Blair, His brigade received the first attack, which was intended to be demoral- izing, and had it not been for Colonel Belknap’s gallantry, as well a8 his coolness, no one dare say what the effect of McPberson’s death, whtch oc- curred early in the fight, would have had upon the | federal forces, General Thomas, with his com- mand, was in line, but separated, not so much by distance as by orders. The statement, therefore, of Montgomery Biair that his brother saved the a nd resis'ed an attack which Sherman be- eved unpossible has for its support THE PRESENCE OF GENERAL BELKNAP. | as Secretary of War in President Grant's Cabinet; “Promoted upon recommendation | Frank P. Blate for gallant service and extraordi- nary bravery in front of Atlanta.” In addition, the fact that Montgomery Blair can cross swords with General Sherman as to the education necessary to carry on warfare— Bamely, West Point education—gives to the letter of Mr. Blair, 1n defence of bis brother, a zest which many, perhaps, will not appreciate as tne regular of oMecers will. The letter of Mr. | Blair bas attracted, if possible, in Washington, more attention than the “Memoirs,” It was writte! in modesty, but in a spirit which knew the mat nero! man {t was attacking, thi ALD’ deapatch was to-night telegraphed entire to all parts of the country. Naval officers whose deeds are commended thank Mr. Blair, not so mucn for the defence oi bis brother as that one who occupied so high a poi tion during the war, and whose education entities him to speak witn the frankness of a historian, has begun so gallant an onslaught upon “Memoti of tae War” by W. T. Sherman. THE GRASSHOPPER BURDEN. 3 9 ° AN RXTENSION GRANTED TO PRE-EMPTORS SUFFER- ING FROM THE VORACIOUS INSECTS.

MABEL YOUNG—PIPER, THE BOSTON SEXTON, | ACCUSED OF BEING THE PERPETRATOR OF AN- | OTHER HORRIBLE CRIME—RESULT OF THE POLICE INVESTIGATION, | Boston, Mass., May 24, 1875. The attempted murder of the little girl, Mabel Young, 1a one of the city churches yesterday after- | noon, has created the most intense excitement and indignauon throughout the community, She 1s still lingering in unconsciousness, and her wounds are of such 4 serious nature that it is doubtfui if she willever recover. Thomas Piper, | the sexton of the church, is still held tn custody, and circumstances indicating his guilt are con- stantly multiplying, ‘he incidents of the tragedy, so far a8 developed, are pecullarly touching. A beautiful little girl, while leaving the church with & flock of her Sunday schoolmates, ih her books in her hand, strays up into the tower, or is possibly enticed thituer to see the | } pigeons; and there, out of sight of all but one | murderous flend, receives which were inten:led to end her innocent life; but the haste and incompleteness of the terrible work left her witu strength enough to utter the tow feeble cries which attracted the discoverers of the tragedy to the spot where they witnessed tie | terrible scene, The officer who first arrived at the church says that he first learned of the sex- the cruel wounds | ton’s whereabouts just as the meeting broke up, | when the latter came to one of the aoors, and, without any conceivable reason therefor, in- | quired tf the seats were all right. For twenty minutes after that he was missing, and the deed might have been committed vefore or during thas interval, PROSECUTION OF A SEARCH. The absence of the girl was discovered by her aunt, Miss Hobba, avd @ search was fastituted. The organist took the initiative. He went up stairs to the gallery door, followed by tue sexton, aud found it locked. Hearing moans he asked the sexton for the key, and the latter replied that he dia not know where it was, for he had not been up there since lastiall, He said he would try and fod | it, and went away, 800R returning with @ report that tt was missii (fhe officers subsequendy found the key ou a shelf, where be told them It had veen all the time.) impatient at the delay | the organist took a@ pair of pincers from hig | pocket and opened the do ‘Then goiv up a fight of steps, ne raised a scuttle and found | the body lying six toches below the coping aud | bleeaing badly. Beneath a board, at the side of the body, was @ cricket bat spotted with white- Wash aud blood, ‘toe bat ts about two feet | long, one an three-eighthe inches thick, and weighs about three pounds, How it got tuto the tower can be more easily imagined than de- seribed, for several witnesses testified that they Saw it behind tne library door, on a jower floor, during the day, im contradicuon to Piper's state. | Ment tnat he had no keys which would open the door it may be stated that two bunches of keys were found on his person—one key opening fourteen doors in the puliding and two dtung the lock of the-door in question exactly. PIPER SPOKE TO MABEL. The police have gathered testimony that Piper was seen to stoop down and speak to the littic girl when she entered the church, and also that he tried to dissuade the organist from entering the gallery dvor, saying that it was tmpossibie lor the girito be there. In Piper’s room, waich was searched this morning were iound wwo bottles 0: Whiskey, aud it is thought that one of them had @n admixture of laudanum. A PREVIOUS MUKDER SUSPECTED. The murder of Bridget Landergan, some two years ago, 18 Dow believed to have been the work of this Piper. Her death wes caused by blows irom a biudgeon formed irom the end ofa shaft and that svait, or the remaining portion thereof, Was found tn the cellar of the house occupied by Piper's father.

Porter, who hailed from Maine, and, altuough possessing satisfactory credentials as @ Baptist preacher, seemed to be ‘dying around loose.” He accepted the cali and Was duly installed in the pulpit. Mr. Porter's per« sonal appearance was not in his Javor, be being of course features, talland bony in physique and | aMicted with a stoop in his carriage, amounting | almost to deformity, He was avout forty years of age and unmarried when he accepted the charge. | Opposed to bis uncouth personal appearance | however, his manner was pleasing and winning and he seemed to be gifted with a spiritual unction that clothed his physical failing with @ peculiar charm, Possessing no little talent As @ preacher, he soon took captive the congre- gation in his charge, ana they considered them- selves particularly fortunate in the selection of a pastor. They were not required to tax them- selves heavily to sustain bim, as he was content with a salary of $500ayear and the charge of a: select school, which yielded him as much more. THE FARMER'S FAMILY, Living near the village where he and his an- cestors have lived generation alter generation Is a wealthy and respected farmer named Peter W. Squires, He has raised a family of five children, oniy one of whom 18 left at bome with him and bis wile, all the rest being themselves fathers and mothers in homes of their own, Tne one remaining is a girl of not more than fourteen, named Selinda, She was a member of the Rev. Mr. Porter’s school, and a remarkably intelligent | and promising pupil. Mr, Porter ooarded at the | Ithongh his partiality to Selinda among ail nis pupils Was noviceable, 1t Was not thought strange under the circumstances. A Strong attachment existed between the girl and ber tutor-paster and ber parenis also made a greas | favorite of him, THE PASTOR'S MARRIAGK, mn the 18th of April last the petted minister leave of avsence for a few days, stating that he was going to Boston to marry a@ young jady to | whom ie had long been engaged. The leave was coraially given, and nis parisuioners besides made him up & nandsome purse in honor of the occasion. THE BBCORD OF THE PASTOR, | When Porter took charge of tne Bethlehem | church but little was Known of his past history. He was very free \n speaking of it, however, ana it was learned from him that be was a native of Nee eg arc been bora in the native piace of General Robert E, Lee, to whom, Je said, nis par- ents were near neighbors. He oad been a captain in the Coniederate army and fought in many of the leading battles, among them Gettysburg and the terriole contests in the Wilderness. Alter tae war Was over he came North, and, having ap i- clination ior theoiogical pursuits, entered the Chester Theological Institute near Philadelphia, where he graduated, and in 1867 was ordsined a preacher of the Gospei in Clinton, this State. In 1870 he accepted a call (o preach on one of the smail islands hear the coast of Maine, ata place called Norton, He was there nearty two years, but the society being unabdie to pay hissalary, he resigued. 1t Was in that place he met Miss Mary Seaton, member of au cold and weaithy Virginia family, made destitute by the war. She was teacuiny school there, apa @ mutual attachment sprang up between them, which culminated in & betrothai, Soon thereafter he ie{t the isiand, promising to re- | turn and fulfil bis Vows as soon as fortune favored | him tn worldly matters, His reiations at Bethle- | hem resulting 80 beneiictaily, he left as statea to | Marry his betrothed @t Boston, sae coming to tae | city to meet nim. HE RETURNS TO BETHLENEM. In Gue time Mr. Porter returned to Bethlehem With bis wile, @ Very attractive and evidently ac- | complished lady, about thirty years of age. The charen people were delighted to welcome back the pastor and honor his wife, and bad fitted up three rooms Guring Dis absence for their ocou- The rooms were in a house occupied by jami'y of Alexunder Bird, Esq., the ausvand of one of jarmer Squire's daughters. Everytaing was rogressing to the entire satisfaction of every- dy, When last week @ thuadervolt fell on the happy community. The terribie discovery was mauve by old Mrs. Squires that her daughter >elinda, the iavorite pupu of the Rev, Mr. Porter, was about to become a mother, which discovery had new borror attached to it by tue child coniessing that her seducer Was none other tuan ber revereud teacher. A SENSATION IN THE FLOCK. It were folly & ie @ description Of the sen- sation that followed tals covally unsuspected and incredibie avowal. Sufiice it to say that when the accused preacher Was confronted with the cri y heartbroken mother of the girl that he acknowleaged guilt, He said that when bis inumacy with the child en impradent rel. tion, But their contact in studies an mes had resuited in crime, and he freely coniessed to baving ruined his charge. A fit suppiemeut to the almost unparalleled con- | duct of this luise teacher Was the heartless man- | ner io which the father of the chiid treated the atfair, He considered it in the light of a busiue: transaction, aud absolved Porter {rom responsivility in the matter in covsidera- tion of the latter delivering op 'o Mm his horse, harness and buggy, remarain * te harm was done, and the oaly th y man |, could do was to make ali the reparc', ict lay How the guilt o: her new-made husband affected the young wife is not kuowa, She saw no one after the sickening disclosure was made, and left, heavily veiled, with ber hospang the same night, taking the cars o@ the Ceutral Kauroad at tuis piace tor Philadeipiia. DISMISSED FROM THE CHURCH, Charges of gross immorality were at once instt- tuted against Porter by wembers of the Churco, and were beard before au ecciesiastical council called to consider them. After heartng the testi- y, the council adopted resolutions requesting | that the late pastor be deposed irom ministering in the chureu and excluded from all tellowsuip therein.
