8T. LOCAL MILITARY MATTERS. What la Going On in Hilltuy Circles--The Sealy Kifles Will Go to Laiupuiui--The Artillery Light Guard. Interest seems to be somewhat brightening up in local military matters, and the three infantry companies of Oalyeaton have all under consideration projects aud schemes giving promise of instilling new life into the citizen soldiery. THE IA1IPASAS StfCAHPURNT, which is to commence on June 21, has exercised its influence in Bringing about this revival of interest, and the Sealy HiBes, who were so successful in carrying off the first prize at the Larnpnsas encampment last year, have decided to again enter the contest, and with this enil in view will at once inaugurate a system of drilling with the view of putting up even a much better drill than that by which they carried off the first prize last year.

The other two companies hnve not yet decided to go to Lampasas, and it is not probable that they will, as bolh arc working to secure new uniforms con not just now afford the outlay that the Lnrupasns trip would entail. The greatest objection to the Lampasas encampment urged by the local military is the fact that no mouey prizes are offered for the drills- Were a first prize, say of offered it would be an incentive for the companies to work for, as this would be an amount, if won, sufficient to defray the expenses of the trip. The Lampasas trip cost the Sealy Kitlf nearly ifMO last year, and though winuiiig the flrst prize they had nothing to show for it save a trophy in the way oJ a medal. The boys say that uieduls are well enough in their place, but they do not produce that amount of enthusiasm caused by the prospect of winning a good round purse. THE BOYS AT HOME.

"While the Sealys are preparing for ttie LampHSs trip, their confreres at home will not be idle. The Galvestou Artillery Light Guard will have a handsome tlag presented them 011 Friday evening at Ai'tillery haH, ni'ter which there will De a company drill for a gold medal to be awarded the best drilled man, the entertainment to conclude with a hop. It gives promise of bein? a very pleasant affair. Captain L. Tuller and his two lieutenants, Kransse and Eich- litz, constitute the arrangement committee, tlie rank and file the reception committee, nud Sergeants Sabin, Levy and Hertford to raise funds for a dress uniform, and so far their efforts that he does not propose letting another season roll by without having his company properly uniformed, as the company has uever had a dress uniform since its organization, working altogether in fatigue.

To aid them iu this undertaking, the Histrionic society has tendered the company a benefit, to be given about June 1, by which the company expect to realize quite handsomely. THE WASHINGTON GUARDS. Though claimed by many that this oom- paay has long since attained and past the zenith of its military glory, there Is still no dearth of life and enthusiasm yet remaining in this organization, which is tlie oldest infantry company in Galveston. Many years ago the Washington G-uards had no superior in the State, and for a long time they were able to wave the palm of victory over the Houston Light Guard, which has subsequently achieved a national fame. The Washington Guards are also endeavoring to deck themselves out in new plumage, nnd have also been promised the assistance of the Histrionics, in trying to raise for them a uniform fund.

Dick Lacouse, while En Route from Galveston with a Pinkerton Agent, Takes Desperate Chances for Liberty, About three weeks ago M. J. Healy, one of Mnkerton's men, hailing from Boston, introduced himself to Chief of this city, and in a few words explained his mission. Healy was after one Dick Lacouse, wanted in Gloucester, to answer a charge of keeping a disorderly house aud other kindred offenses. The law did not want Lacouse as bad as his bondsmen, who in the event of Dick's failure to return would be mulcted to tlie extent of $2100.

Lacouse had been traced here and had defied his bondsmen to take him. Both tfie chief and Special Jerry Lordaii, who was present at uie interview, knew Lacouse. He was the same man who about the beginning of the year came to Galvos- ton and shortly thereafter went to work at John Cheskie's saloon, on Market street, near Bnth avenue. Early in February Lncouse and his employer had a difficulty to money matters, and immediately at'ter Lacouse left his room preparatory to uitiug the establishment the buildinc was discovered to be on fire. The flames being discovered in their incipienoy were extinguised before much-damage resulted, and Lacouse was arrested on suspicion of incendiarism, but for want of -evidence was released without going to trial or being entered on the books.

He then opened a small restaurant on Center street, opposite the Cotton exchange, and with one Edsou, followed him from Gloucester, run the place. They also started the first and only bed-house in Galveston in the old City hall building, where a number of beds and cots, all in one room, is the entire stock in trade of this establishment, and where beds were let at 10 and lf cents a night. Under these circumstances La- couse was not hard to tret, and when brought in bv Special Lordau, an hour before the sailing of the steamer for New York, Lacouse recognized the Piukerton man at once, and expressed his willingness to go without further ceremony. All he took was a box of cigars and ijiTO, which Maud gave him. Specials Lordan aud Williamson saw Lacouse aud his custodian to the steamer San Marcos and under way.

On the way I.aoonse refused to eat and was very dejected. His custodian feared that lie would commit suicide and closely watched his prisoner. He was handcuffed for some time, but after awhile Lacouse was freed from the iron bonds and mingled i tlie passengers in the cabin. The steamer stopped at Newport News for coal, but was far from shori 1 and an attempt to escape would be as futile as in niid-oceau. It took the bout's crew a half hour to row buck from shore to the steamer.

A week iizo last Saturday evening Lacunae was playing curds in the cabin. The detective went on deck to light a cigar and in five minutes was joined by a passenger who said that his -partner at cards, Lacouse. had left the cabin. The detective went iu quest of his mini, who had disappeared. He had been last seen into the forecastle, but he was uowhern to be found.

Soi-aral people were ou deck at the time, anil it was rleur moonlight, but no one had seen a miiu go overboard. Tlie othcers of the made search ninous the cargo of cottou, but without avail. Arriving at New York last Saturday, the steamer was watched by several of Piukerton's men until the cargo was taken out, but the missing man did not show up. It is believed that Dick jumped overboard, as he would take any clmni'e to escape, but as the sea was running high there seemed no possible chance for his escape from drowning. The detective at first would not believe that Lacuusu went overboard, but the search was so thorough Uiat it was the only explanation.

Lacouse was once a noted six-nay pedestrian. While residing iu Gloucester he was shot in the back of the neck. Ho admitted that it was an attempt at suicide, but as he was tenacious of life the suicide theory was not credited. It was- believed that in a quarrel with Maud Edsou th4 revolver was either fired by her or went off accidentally, aud that theory of the affair was confirmed by the story told by Lacouse after the affair. It is not believed either that Lacouse would court suicide by jumping overboard from tlie vessel, as every one who knew the man knew of his extraordinary swimming powers, and- believe that he will yat turn up.

Maud Edsou is still here. NEARLY A CENTURY ACJO. An Old Literary Relic from the Early Press oi Virginia. Occasionally a rare old trophy, iu the shape of a book, paper or periodioal, comes to light, and immediately becomes a source of wonder to those of the modern nluteenth century. The modern mind, trained iu all manner of technicalities and latter-day customs, can only look upon these bygone relics of dead generations with something akin to wonder.tinctured with amusement-so widely different in every feature were the doings of these people to those of the present time.

THE NEWS has been extended the privilege of gazing on a veritably sacred sheet--rudelv battered and colored from the remorseless hand of old time, it is true, but nevertheless preserving much that is quaint and singular: to nineteenth century eyes. The sheet referred to is a copy of the old Virginia Gazette, published at Richmond, in that State, fully 100 years ago, the present sheet bearing the date of March 21,1792. It is almost imposible to conceive of the mighty and overwhelming revolutions iu the customs and characteristics of the American race that have taken place within that scone. In 1792 the United States had already come out triumphant from one of the greatest wars in the nation's history--the revolutionary war against England--and had rested upon her laurels for twelve years or more. At that time the great George Washington was alive and enjoying the rapturous plaudits of a nation for his successful termination ef the war.

These are merely retrospective suggestions to show-what vast and startling changes have swept over the country with the breath of a cyclone, as it were, in the interval. Not one line of this tattered sheet bears the shadow of a resemblance to the improved modern journal. There is nothing on its face to characterize it in the uroper sense of tlie word as a newspaper." It is ma.de up of three columns to a page; and, with a few only two classes of advertising--rewards offered for runaway ne- gro slaves and great "lottery schemes," the latter taking np a column, more or less. In these days the objects of a lottery are to give people an oppor unity to gat a large sum of money quickly by purchasing a ticket 1 taking a chance," as it is more generally termed, and the object of the person who purchases the ticket is, of course, to get this money or prize, which arc divided into classes. The following extract from the Virginia Gazette will show what the object of a lottery was in 1702: GEOGRAPHICAL LOTTERY.

"The objects of this lottery are to promote and disseminate a minute knowledge of tlie southern parts of the United States of America, from Philadelphia to the gulf of Mexico and from the Atlantic oceaa to the Mississippi." The sum of money is then designated to be or about $20,000, and the lottery was divided into three classes. This was considered a very large sum, but does not come up to the capital lottery prizes of the present day. At this time the phrase in the above from the Atlantic ocean to the Mississippi, would be changed to "from the Atlantic to the shows that the wild West was not so well known or cared about at that time; and further, the gnlf of Mexico is spelled eu'ph," The sheet is headed "extraordinary," and may have been thought an "extraordinary" edition then, but would not be worth a small beer in this age. The only really extraordinary feature In it may be said to be the great number of advertisements for run-a-wuy negroes from wealthy planters and slave- owners. This, however, could not have been the cause of the paper dubbing this particular edition extraordinary," as such a thing as a run-u-wuy negro then was far from being unusual, as the same thing occurred daily.

Tlie following udditioma extract may serve to illustrate the affection the slave-owner had for his slaves: TWENTY 110LLAH8 IlKWAHD. Unu-a-way from Uio subscriber's plantation, in Stafford county, the 17th of December, negro fellow called Gloucester. He is nbout 4(i years old, full six feet high, very black, has remarkably long hair for a fellow of his color, which ho generally keeps neutlv combed. Is a sensible, arch, cunning fellow, but has rather asurlv look, a thick voice, is much given to pout out his lips when talking; dressed in the usual negro clothing; took withhim a light- colored bath-coating coat aud breeches, a blanket of negro cotton. I imagine he will endeavor to get to the northward aud pass for a freeman, as it is supposed In went off with Benjamin Tate, a free ilatto, 1 trade though a blacksmith.

I iiave als;" reason to fear he will attempt to to the West Indies, and therefore forewarn all masters of vessels from taking him OIL board under the severest penalty of the law. Whoever will apprehend the said fellow imd deliver him to me will receive the full reward offered above, or if he is put in jail where I can lay my hands on him, HAW W. A A Lancaster County, Belle Isle, Keb'y (i. 1 792. The above advertisement is supplied with a cut showing a negro half-naked, with a bundle of clothes thrown over his back and tt staff iu his hand, in the act of escaping.

There is another advertisement in which a scheme of a lottery is proposed for raising the sum of pursuant to an act of assembly, for building a church iu tlie town of Manchester." Lotteries are not formed for such religious purposes uow-a- clays, as every one is well aware. Numerous other advertisements of a singular nature are scattered about the sheet, but lotteries and negro runaways form tue principal contents, with no reading or editorial matter whatever. It is certainly a curiosity at such a time as this, and speaks for itself in its worn' and yellow appearance. FLOTSAX AND JETSAM. Rowt DrilU Dithered on the Currant Citj Mr.

He was not long, however, in proving fully equal to the emergency, and responded f.o the party in fitting and appropriate terms.
