HOW CAPTAIN AKEV SATEDBIS LIFE.

Facing Fifty Cocked Revolvers Wlthont a . Tremor or Loss of Color. Eureka Leader. . Captain Akey. who killed a man in Nevada tbe other day. was -mining in Toulumne county, California, when the war broke oat. and, with a number of other residents, volunteered his ' services. ' A company was raised, all good men,' and he was elected captain. '' Much to their disappointmeht tbe Government decided to keep them tn California, and tbey were ordered to Hambolt Bay. -. Akey's bead was turned by , the ' authority conferred upon him,, and he began a series of petty persecutions which almost drove his men mad. Tbey bore it for roouthf, until it passed beyond the limits of endurance, and then they resolved to end it. This resolve took tbe form of a determination never to obey another command of Akey's. This was nothing more or less than mutiny, and was punishable with death; but the boys preferred that to the tyranny under which they bad groaned and suffered so long. An order had been received to proceed from Humboldt bay to Red bluSfd, and Akey went by way of the ocean to San rancisco, while tbe company crossed tbe mountains. Tbey were encamped on tbe bank of tbe Sacramento river when he arrived, and the crisis came as soon as be put bis foot in ctmp. He called tbe company out on pa rade, and ordered all those who bad resolved to repudiate him to step two paces to the front, .inety men, tbe entire company firmly took the steps. Tbe sheriff of Tehama county was with him, and, turning to that oflicer, he asked hira if he would assist him In arresting tbe orderly sergeant Tbe officer replied that ne would, and the two started to do so, when they were both covered with 50 revolvers, tbe ominous click of which sounded painfully intense. The sheriff took to his heels, and never stopped running un til ha reached the ferry, a quarter oi a mile distant, but Akey confronted the angry men as coolly as if nothing extraordinary was happening. Tbe color never left his face. nor did a tremor disturb his equanimity. although' he fully " realized that tbe men were thirsting - for his blood NothlDg but his ' bravery saved him, for tbey had fully determined upon killing bim. but as he ran bis eyes up and down tbe line and said, "Boys, tbe odds are too much," they respected bis courage dropped their weapons, and allowed bim slowly to retire. The upshot of the affair was that be was relieved of his command. and, after an investigation of tbe clrcum stances, was discharged from the service. There was at first a determination on the part of the Government to courtruartial the soldiers, but tbe offence was finally con doned and they served out their term of en listment, doing good work lor their country. It is tbe only instance of tbe kind on record ot a mutiny going unpunished.,. . . . - A Conversation With General Lee. A gentleman furnishes the details of conversation, which be bad with' Lee Just after Appomatox, to the Cincinnati Com mercial, from which, we raske extracts. It was with thrilling interest that I now be . held this celebrated man. He seemed still to be in tbe prime of life, but his magnin cent bead was silvered; the fire of his bril liant eyes was in some measure dimmed; and there were premature marks of age on hiB brow. There was a dignity in bis bear ing, a grandeur in the moement of his bead which a consciousness 01 his position won id impart. At the same time, I thought there was a Slight expression of sadness piercing through bis smile. Perhaps be was begin mng to see tbe bollowness of tbe idols that be bad adored, and to experience tbe many thorns that line the pillow of tbe leader of a hopeless and disastrous revolution. . . . ; H18 OPLRION OF LINCOLN. . ., I conversed with bim upon a variety of topics, upon all of which he expressed opin ions. Ha was very positive in his convic tions, and seemed to have, weighed every sentence with studied care. Tbe telegraph wires having recently announced the news of Lincoln's assassination, this naturally was tbe first subject of conversation. In speak leg of the martyred president he said: "The death of that eminent citizen has filled me with horror. If there were blemishes in bis character, bis life exhibited some splendid and rare virtues. He was od of the most extraordinary men that ever lived in our country. His heart was grand and la ri;e. He was constitutionally pensive. Had , he been spared, tbe South would be treated with honorable propriety and with a gallant generosity; that good will and friendliness would have marked his treat ment of tbe people of the South." He pronounced Booth "a cowardly ruffian;" that all. tbe tragic machinery ot tbe globe. that all the instruments ot civil rage could not produce so fine a demon: that the sol diers of the Southern army and the people regard tbe murder of Lincoln, not only as a crime against our Christian civilization and our common humanity, but that his loss at this moment was a terrible blow to tbe van quished, who would have to bear the re sponsibilityof tbe cruel, cold-blooded essas si nation; that the spirit of clemency, modera tion and ot conciliation displayed by tbe president were virtues not to be found in bis successor. "Let tbe avenger's arms, be continued to say, with eyee moistened with tears, ;".falt upon the guilty. Shodld this be the course adopted by the authorities at Washington their greatest victory is yet be fore them;" that a more shining page in their annals would be written, and that the sublimest example of magnamity and selfgovernment would be set. To my question, "Do you think tbe rebel lion Is ended?" be replied very emphatical ly:" "Yes, sir; and bad it not been for the politicians it would never have been com menced." Tbe politicians to whom be re ferred were Davis, Yancey, Breckinridge and Toombs, and others whose names he mentioned. He went, on - to say: "I was opposed to tbe war at the outset. I wept when I beard of the bombardment of Fort Sumter. 1 sought retirement, so that I might not hear or see any of the political leaders, the great end and aim of whose tatesmanship was to precipitate the havoc that subsequently swept their fields and cities. Bnt when Virginia, my Dative State, seoeded, there was only one course for me to pursue namely, to follow ber fortunes. HI8 ESTIMATE OF WEBSTER, CLAY AND CAL , HOUN. . , . t The conversation now took another direc tion. Tbe Confederate leader referred despondingly to the Nation's lack of great statesmen. 1 asked him his estimate of tbe distinguished men whom be bad heard, and whose eloquence bad revived tbe grand days or oratory, speaking of Webster, be (aid "I never saw a more striking object than Webster in the Senate. Tbe effect of his fine figure and bis princely air, when speak ing, was like that of a livid flash in tbe midst of darkness. What Paganlni was in music that Webster was in oratory: the one charmed Europe with one string, the other electrtned multitudes with his eloquence. He once complained to me of the wrongs done him by the reporters; but in vain the world would read whatever bore bis honored name, and the grub worms were ever ready to gratify the desire by fragments, or rather caricatures of his might v eloanence. His speeches indicate the powers of the great

orator tbey are lofty, but hot impassioned :

correct, but not fluent. 'Henry Clay was every inch a patriot and an orator. I heard him on British aggres sion. Never certainly had I ever beheld sopowerful an exhibition of natural oratory. The grace of tbe attitudes into whioh he threw his flexible ; figure, the striking gestures of bis anus, and. above all, the fire which soot from bis brilliant eyes, imparted an e fleet to tbe continually changing accents of his voice of which the most accom plished actor might be proud. At one moment leaning forward, when stating circumstantially the grievances of which the Nation complained, and then' standing bolt up right with clenched bands and a countenance distorted with passsion, be poured out a tide of invectives. The effect on his audience was electric one and all, they stood regaraing nim witn sparkling eves and trembling limbs, as though tbey thev were listening to the inspired voice of a prophet. Henry Clay was tbe greatest actor off the stage." "Calhoun was tbe favorite of the RonthMorally be is to be rated higher than either v eoster or t;iay. ne was keen in the obser vation of whatever was minat. He was attracted by the lofty and ideal. Similarity, resemblance, pictures and analysis caught his eye. Tbey were seized and secured, and thrown down upon bis page in gorgeous groups and splendid coloring. His logic was compressed and concealed; the train of reasoning be seemed to be pursuing might be clear and continuous to his own mind; all iis facts logically articulated from end to end; but it was only indicated to tbe audience; it was like a stream of water. working its way under ground, that showed itself now and then, or by a succession of openings and jets, the ohe apparently deep, tbe other light and sparkling. He was aisunguisnea ior nis power ot condensation. Metaphors, tropes and figures of all kinds were never found in his speeches. His eloquence and logic set on fire. I heard him in one of his altercations with Clay. I was surprised tnat Mr. caibonn't eloquence did. not produce tbe least reply. It fell like a thunderbolt upon an iceberg, glanced along, hissed and was extinguished." 10 tne question. Did you ever hear liascom, tbe famous Methodist divine? he ans wered "Yes, I beard him once at a camp meeting in this State. The people came from all quarters to behold tbe glory of the New Sun, which bad just burst-forth in the evangelical horizon. He was undoubtedly a Christien Demosthenes; a giant of the pul pit, nis eloquence was not a studiously shelter flame, but a torch blazing only with tne more treadth and brilliancy as it was more broadly waved. Bascom was eminently handsome, and possessed in his noble bearirg and appearance that happy combi nation of mildness, elegance nod dignity which may perhaps be expressed at once by the word gracefulness. I have seen and. beard maDy perfect orators, but Baccum I have ' Dever seen equaled, or even imitated. It was not learning; it was not wit; It was the untaught and unincumbered incantation of genius, the mightiest engine of which the world can boast." General Lee told an anecdote of tbe great Virginian, Patrick Henry, which miy be interesting to members of the bar. He was in the habit of using tobacco, and when engaged in an argument would turn to some leading member of tbe jury who was a lover of the weed, and in an off-hand, familiar way. ask him for a o aid. The inrvmaa, flat. . tered at finding such a similarity of tastes and habits between himself and the dignified counsel, -would follow the examp'e, and tbe good impression made on his mind was not unfrequently transferred from tbe advocate to his cause. Similar ingenious methods to secure the good will of the juries have neen resorted to Dy Uarran and other wellknown barristers. : , , . ; . TRUE, And Pity 'Tls 'Tis True A Medical Student Who Wears Shoes Made of Human Skin. Cincinnati Enq.ulrer. A few days ago we reproduced from the Tjifavpttn Hnnritfr an r t a tSt mmA tj us to be tbe silly boasting of some fledgling sawbones. In order to ascertain whether or not there was a substratum of truth in the story, we telegraphed our Lafayette correspondent, and instructed him to furnish us with tbe facts m the case. Last night we received the following letter from him: LaEAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 5. 1S79. Several days since the EveniDg Courier, of this city, published a somewhat lengthy account 01 a young doctor of this city havln 1 worn a pair of shoes from tbe skin of a Cincin nati oeiie. Tne story as tola oy the Courier,, your correspondent is assured, was substantially as reported by well authenticated rumor to the city editor ot that papar. In the account It Is stated tbat "tbe young student said, he was one night sought out by a resurrectionist famous among the medical men, who ottered to sell him a subject just snatched from a city cemetery. How the corpse, tbat of a beautiful young girl, whose white flesh and the costly ring on her smooth, soft band showed her to be of no poor family, was bought by several of I be students, and bow, when the body, slashed, by the knife of the dissector, lay upen the. table, he crept tn and cut the skin from the round limbs." - This was sent to a tanner, whoIn due time prepared the skin and sent it by express to the young student in tois city. The leather was tben taken to a well-known shoemaker, who fashioned it into a pair of shoes. The representative of tbe Enquirer sought the yoncg man, Ed. Carnahau, this morning, and learned from him tbe. following, which Is submitted as the result of tbe interview: Carnaban attended tbe Miami Medical Collegs of Cincinnati during tbe past collegiate year. His attention had been called to a pair of boots of a dark olive color, on exblbition at the Centennial. They had been made from human skin. A great many people who saw tbe boots natural! y revolted at tbe Idea. There were various opinions upon the matter. How it affected Carnahan I know not. Last winter, on one occasion, having paid for the subject assigned him and hisfellowstudent.befelt privileged, in the callous license of the dissecting room, to use it as he deemed proper. He cut from tbe body a portion of the skin.. He did not know who tne corpse was. Thepersonal identity of the subject is never established, even to the demonstrator himself. Having secured the skin from the body. It was given to a Cincinnati tanner, and about five or six weeks ago was sent C. O. Dto young 1 arnahan. He made no secret of it. He received It publicly. The shoemaker) Mr. Flit, made the shoes. The only part of the Bhoes which ia human skin is the uper. Theieather la as soft as kid. It bas much the texture of the best French calf, and Is only distinguished from that leather by the human pores distinctly visible In tbe olive color of the under or untanned side. The story about the ring as well as the Identity of tbe subject as a. Cincinnati belle was an embellsbment for which I be young student is in no way responsible. He is a young gentleman of the highest social position and personal worth. The whole malttr revolves itself into this: Out of mere curiosity be desired a pair of shoes made fnrm htim&n skin it ni I h. unt t y 1 - Accompanying this letter were a number of others from reputable parties in Lifayette. vouching for young Carnaban's reside "ability and social standing, and requesting us tokeep his name out of the paper. We bave no desire to bs hard on any yenng person, and, had his offense been simply a student's freak, these letters might have had some weight with us, though our mission is to print, not suppress, news. - In this case, however, Carnahan has shown such heart lessness and contempt for the dead that we are loth to believe him a fit and proper person to minister to the needs of the afflicted living. He had better turn his attention to some business requiring little or none of the finer sensibilities of humanity. Quarrying granite might afford him the proper field for tbe exercise of his peculiar talents.
