The New Orleans Delta. of a recent date says that few years since, Sergeant in the army al Fort Leaveuworth was arrested on charge ot having stolen money from Lieut. IT., an officer of that station. He raa away. and was followed, arrested, and money fo',nd upon him. The Lieutenan, on hearing ol his arrest, disappeared, and was supposed to have been murdered.

 The Sergeant was brought up ler examit,a- ton. The proof was exhibited to him, the money, his flight. &c.; his only reply was. "Where is my accusef' Bring him before me and you shall see who IS tie thief "-- But Lieut.. T., could not be found. The Sergeant then confessed that he had been bribed by Lieut.. T., to desert and take upon himself the iniamy which justly belongs to the Lieutenant himself, who was defaulter to the Government, and wished 10 cover his crime by the alleged robbery of the Sergeant T'ha; he had given hum two hundred dollars and horse, lo Ay from the fort, which, after a severe confic, with conscience, he at least consented to do. but that before he had gone many miles his horse broke down. and he was thus oyertakrn and arrested.

 On the ist of October last. as tI.e Mexican face was marching out of Monterey, one ol the officers under Gen. N orsh, whose troops were drawn up to salute them. recognized in one of the Mexican Coloneis a familiar force, which proved io be that of Lieat T.. The Delta says:

 As soon at .he Mexiean's eye fell upon the faces of she-two Americans. he was ob- sesved io grew desdly pale, and pull his cap over his eyes and turn away Bns the Americans had seen enough ts satisfy ,l,em that the Mexican Colonel was no other .han the renegade Lieal T.. for whose crime poor man now suffers the infamy of in prisonnent in tbe peaIteuiiary of Missoari An inspection of the Mexican military roll and inquiry among the Mexicaa officers coa6rmed the truth of the perscaal obsesya ton o9 our officers.
