Blackburn on the Subject. To the Editor of the Cinulnnlti (hoit.tto: Cn 'Alt4o, Oct. attetion llhas Ibee called to the following fro)l a tolegl dispatch in your poIr of hot her 4, pu'rportig to give ia conversntlon with I)r. of Kentuleky, in onr an Arkansas river boat, relative, to his alleged plan for introducing yellow fever into the United States, during the war: "lle said that he had laid his pIlans before (en. Ileauregard in full, and that lhe had approved themt and gave him a 'pass through the Confledratie iles, Iby whlch he was to lireach the Nort Ih, aIlI to roes at I )etrolt into Canada.

IIh had only comn- 1 llllnleatedl thlle. to Genll. BiaitLl'ard, and the only pass he used was from hnim." I can but express nmy surprise that l)r. lBlackburn, if correctly reported', sihould have ilade tsuch an uIinmlarrllntallmi)le stittement. I denly miost positively that I ever Paw 1himn In harlestonl, in or at.

any othlr time, and1 that I heard fromu him his pills, approvied I them, or ga4wve hint it5ss to enablel him to carry out a design, if practicallet at all, so contrary to clvilized warfalre. 'lT'his tdeiial is corroborated by the testiumony of my Chief of Staff, Gen. Thomnas Jordan. I am informed on good authority that the doctor sailed from Wilmington, N. in tihe summer of 1,113.

My military ldepartment composed only the States of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, beyond tlhe limits of which passes granted byv I4.e were to no avail. To sail out of Wilmington a pass from the commanding officer of that department was indispensable. If Dr. B. had conmmunicated his plans to me I would surely have dlsap- 1 proved themn.

not only as impracticable, but as unworthy of our cause. In conclusion permit me, however, to say, Mr. Editor, that after the lapse of nearly fifteen years since the war, it is high time that the veil should be drawn over the errors-on both sides-of omission and commission due to the embittered Ipasslons of that fratricidal struggle, and that we should henceforth en- only to ahl in restoring peace and good i will In a land so amply supplied as ours with 8 all the elements of unbounded prosperity.

They are scattered in all parts of the country and pursuing all varieties of avocation, but we are sure there is not one of them that will not read his old leader's farewell without a thrill: 8 OEN. FORREST TO HIS TROOPS.

HIEADQUARTERS FORaEST'S CAVALRY CORPS, I Uainesville, M1ay U. 1965. 5 Soldiers: By an agreement made between Lieut. Gen. 1 Taylor.

commanding the Department of Alabama. Mississippi and East Louisiana. and 5 Major Goa. Uanby, commanding United States 1 forces, the troops of this department have been surrendered. I do not think it prover or at this time, to refer to the causes which have reduced us to this extremity.

nor is it now a matter of material consequence to us how such results were brought about. That we are beaten is a self- evident fact, and any further resistance on our part would be justly regarded as the very height of folly and rashness. The armies of Generals Lee and Johnston having surrendered. you are the last of all the troops of the Confederate States army east of the Mississippi river to lay down your arms. The cause tor which you haveso-long and so I manfully struggled, and for which you have braved enduread privations and sufferlugs, anlld Imade so many sairifices, is to-day hopeloss.

The government whloh we sought to establish and porpetuato is at an end. lita. Mon tU.etat an4 humanity demands that no more blood he slled. Fully radlizing and feeling that suhtl Is the orls. It is your duty and to laty down our arms-submit to the "Dowers that to aid in restoring peace and establishing law and order throughoutlthe land.

The terms upon which yvu were surrendered are favorable, and should be stlefactory' and aceptable to all. They madlet a spirit of magaanlmity and liberality, oi tbe part of the Federal authorities, which should be met, on oar part, by a faithful compliance with all the stipulations ande onditlons therein expressed. As your commander. I sincerely hope that every officer and soldier of my commatu will cheerfully obey the orders Riven, and carry out in good faith all the terms of the cartel. Those who neglect the terms, and refuse to be paroled, may assuredly expect, when arrested, to be sent North and Imprisoned.

Let those who ate absent from their from watover cause, report ait once to this place, or Jackson. Miss. or. if too remote from either, to the nearest United Mtates post or garrison, for paroles. Civil war, such tas you have just passed through, natirally engenders feelings of antrc nalty, hatbld and revenge.

It Is our duty to divest ourselves of all such citolings; and. as tar as in our power to do Fo, to cultivate frlndly feelings towards those with whom we have so long contendedl, and hlritofore so I widely, bat hlnstly dillffered. Neighborhood feuds, uprsonal animosities, and trivate should le btlottid out nd. when you return home. a manly, straightforward course of conliuct will the respect even of eyour enemles.

His opponents have been induced to make him a too prominent issue in this contest, when it would be better, perhaps, to have ignored matters of a personal nature, and sought to have brought the party up to a 1 united support of the ticket by enjoining steadfast adherence to party principles and candidates which successfully represented them. As to the resultof the election, I cannot, of course, speak with any degree of certainty, but, from what I have learned in my recent trip, I regard the outlook as favorable for the Democratic ticket." ---saw Some Sound Advice for Mississippl. The people of Louisiana have tried holding elections for State and county officers at the I same time that presidential and congressional elections take place, and found to their sorrow that it did not work well. For the good of the State they have, in their new constitution which is to be voted for next December, changed State elections from the time of national elections to a different year.

They want no more United States marshals and supervisors running their State elections. The people of Mississippi had better profit I by Louisiana's experience and vote down the proposed amendment to the constitution. A Governor with Blood in Bla Eye. Gov.

MeClintock, of New Orleans. Himself and Assistant meet a Fearful Fate by the Explosion of a Torpedo, With Which They Were Experimenting. A sad disaster, which Is not yet fully explained, oocurred in the harbor Monday afternoon. Word was brought to Station 12, South Boston, yesterday morning that a terrible accident had befallen two men who went down the harbor to experiment with torpedoes. The principal victim is Mr.

J. R. McCllntock, a noted inventor of New Orleans. He had been in Boston for several days perfecting arrangements for some experiments with submarine torpedoes to be made in the deep waters of the bay, He had with him an associate, Mr. George IHolgato, of Philadelphia.

It seems that he and Mr. McClintock first went (lown to the harbor on Saturday to make the desired experiments, but the water proved too rough. Early Monday morning, Messrs. McClintck and Ilolgate were met at Point Shirley by Mr. Edward C.

Swain and a young man named Oliver lHolmes, who came in a sailboat from the wharf of Hutchings Prior, at South Boston. The two men embarked, leaving Holmes on shore. They proceeded some distance outside and anchored. When the I torpedo was ready for use, Messrs. McCOlntock, lHolgate and Swain got into the small boat and rowed a short distance, when, according to his own story, Holgate became seasick.

Mr. McClintock joked him about the malady, but his Illness became so violent that they put back, and lolgate got on the larger boat. The other men rowed away, and a short time after, Holgate, who was reclining on the deck, heard an explosion. Hie started up and looked for his friends, but could see nothing of them or their boat. It was then about half-past 3, and liolgate got the boat under way as best he could, and started to look for his companions.

Nothing could be found of them, the only trace being a few floating corks and splinters. Such is Mr. Holgate's version of the affair. The remainder of the story is told by the young man Htolmes who says he heard the explosion while at Taft's Hotel. Holmes and the sailboat came in sight about three quarters of an hour later.

A fisherman put Holmes on board the sailboat, where he found Holgate nervous and excited. The latter ordered the young man to put him ashore and take care of the boat, either returning It to the owner or keep It until called for. Holmes asked if the other two men in the boat had rowed across to Lynn, and he says Holgate answered him in the affirmative, and added that they were going back by train. Holgate Inquired about the trains for Boston, and immediately left the boat. Holmes got a fisherman to help him sail the boat as far as East Boston, where he went ashore and around to South IBoston by land.

He there inquired of several If they had seen his friend Swain; but no one had heard from him and Holmes did not learn of his sad fate until yesterday noon. The young man went back and slept on board the boat. Mr. Holgate, meantime, came by rail to Boston, where he called upon Prof. Wingard, a friend of Mr.

McCiOntock, at the United States Hotel. He informed him of the fate of his associate, and then, about 10 o'clock, Monday evening, called upon Mr. Hutchings, at South Boston, with the news. He said that Mr. Hutchings' man, Swain, and his (Holgate's) best friend had been blown to pieces.

He appeared to be very much overcome with I grief, and requested that when the boat was returned Mr. Hutchings would take care of Mr. McClintock's coat in the cablin, as it contained Important papers as well as the full name and address of the owner. I Of the latter Mr. Holgate professed to be Ig- I norant.

A persistent effort to trace Mr. Holgate's movements after leaving South Boston Monday evening proves unsuccessful. A careful search of the city was made last night, but witlout success. He has a room andti baggage at the Adams House. where he stopped for several days past with Mr.

Mc- I Clintock, but nothing has been seen of him at the hotel since Sunday evening. This fact and the account of the singular story which Holmes said he told him are the strange I parts of this affair. That Messrs. McClin- took and Swain were blown to pieces there is little or no doubt. Plenty of people heard the explosion.

Two companies of scientific gentlemen and other invited guests were on their way to the i scene of the tragedy on board the steam yacht Edith and the tug Nellie. The Edith was about two miles away, and all on board I heard the explosion. On reaching tilhe scene a small piece of the bow or stern of the boat was the only vestige of it remalling. The torpedoes used were fllied with dynamite and had each the explosive power of 201) pounds of gunpowder. Whlettlher there was some fault of construction, or battery connection was made too soon, or a premature explsolon took place from some other cause, it is impossible to do more than conjecture.

Mr. IIolgate is the only one who can throw a any light upon this subject. Mr. McClintock ii was at work upon a torpedo boat for the a Turkish government, for which It Is under- stood he was to receive $1,000,000 if a suc- cess. It is said that Holgate is the only one besides the inventor possessing the secret of a the invention.

Mr. McClintock was nearly sixty years of age, and leaves a wife and three children at a New Orleans. Mr. Holgate is said to be a i Philadelphia chemist. Edward C.

Swain was 1 39 years of age, and lived at City Point. He had been in the employ of Messrs. Hutchings Pryor for a number of months, and was regarded as a trustworthy and faithful man. Hlie was unmarried, and his relatives live at Nantucket. The sailboat was brought back from East ii Boston yesterday afternoon.

Up to 2 o'clock this morning nothing had been heard of Mr. Holgate, who is anxiously looked for by friends of Mr. McCllntock to furnish further details of his terrible death. The family of the latter in New Orleans have beentelegraphed. LIoUe iaLr ill iNew vrieaus nave een Lele- th graphed.
