Mods are entertained that, after ui! It a’. ban born

of transportation. Hpeculators ure working to

tioners are at wot k I cannot believe it possible
that tbe public spirited men who control the Bail
roads will permit four patriotic effort's to secure
tbe people a supply of ealt, to come to naught
because wi a want of that enlarged patriotism on
ibeir part, which I believe they have, rendering
every oue ready to muke a ru r tiae of mere per

the public Toe mm who have sustained there

there is a considerable quantity mads daily upon
the coast Tin* question, bow is the balance ol

My own opinion is that there is enough m the
bands of speculator, bid owuv in the cellars uiul
other places in cities and to ads, t > supply the rest |
of the demand. This will only bo brought out a
tew sacks ut a lime, and sold at most cxorbiluui
prioes, under the influence of a, panic produced bv
ibe supposed detioiency iu the supply.
If the Uouerul Assembly now iu session si oul i
feel authorised to pass a law empowering some
officer of this State, to open the dark places where
the salt is hid and bring It to light, uud to pay the
1 bolsters reasonable and just compensation lor it,
und to distribute it at fair prices among the desti
tute portion ol our people, such relief would be
afforded as wouid give new streogth and vigor to
our cause. If it m objected that this can only bo
done by the Htute for publio use, it seems to my
miud to be a sufficient reply to say, that when the
very eststenoe of the State is threatened, end our
people are aotually suffenug tor one of the most
indispensable necessaries of life, when our armies
iu the field are likely to be demoralised by the
accounts of t,e sutlering it those dependent upon
them at borne, and when not only the whole pro
perly of the State, but the life and liberty of every
i« at aUkd—that which aflorda anbstantml
und indiiptngablo relief, may properly betaken to
u?ert this great public calamity ; and that such
taking ie as much an appropriation ol private
property for public use, as is the taking ot the
farmer's bacon and corn to support the army
which Is kept in the field to delend the existence
of the State. 11 the armv is not supported, w e oTo
oooquered i and if the army is de noralized by the
sufferings of their families and friends ut home,
caused by the uuholy exactions of heartless cor
morants who, for the sake of gain, will iced upoo
Uxe very vitals or society, the same result unul
follow. But I urn digressing somewhat from the
paYpo ge of this letter.
To your inquiry about iransportdWua, I u.*»c
to reply, thst the’railroads through East 'l'eunes
gxe hare not sufficient rolling stock to meet ihe
demands of the military an I other local busilusj,
aud transport our salt It is therefore uuce',s»i >
tor u* to send trains from this State, to do our uwn
carrying. 1 have recently sent as inauy tiuias
tkom the State Hoad as we could possihJy spare,
hut on account of the heavy demands made upon
our Road by the Goverumeut for transportation
since the return of Genera! Bragg’e army to East
Tennessee, and of the tact that ivs have already
tost 180 cars while ou other Hoads, under ihe con i
irol of the military, which were w letly cut oil
while upon the Memphis X Charleston Road
when the Abolitionists took Huntsville, it is im
possible for the State Road to sapp y the utcee
taiy engines sad cars to bring .11 the fait wbui
Ssttviile. Uis understood that there is an ac
cumulation ol about oue hundred car-loads of
salt for Gteorgta there at present. Iu this state of
things, I appealed to somo ot the Presidents ct
the .ompany Reads in this Slate for assistance.
Mr Cuyier, the President of the C. K Road,
prompilv put s 'raia subject to my direction, aud
oars enough from the Sourh Western Road to
make up pert ot another train. Soon alter this
the Ueueral Assembly passed a resolution a w
theming me to aeita trains for this purpose iu
case l cannot obtain them upou reasonable terms,
to bring in the State's salt now at the works.—
This resolution limits the power to seize cars to
such number as may be necessary tor the removal
ot the present accumulation only, and dues not
provide lor like emergeuoiee iu future. Belioviua
that this was an oversight in the Legislature, 1
cannot doubt t&*t they will so amend the resolu
uon asl to provide for tbs transportation o! the
future Cine as well as tbs present production ot oor
works. Since the resolution was passed, Mr.
Scott, of the M. A W. K Road, has sent ono
engins and ux cars, to which Mr. Cut Ur has
nddsd cars to.make'up the balancs ot the iru u,
sod Judge King of the Georgia Road has also rot
apart a train for the salt service. These tinea
trains with one from the State Road, wtd be .x

Pauis, October 80, 1862
| Europe watches with painful interest tbe Strug- i
j glo which has been raging more than a year upon ;
too American coot-men-. Tbe hostilities havo f
prowoked sacrifices and efforts certainly of a na
ture to inspire tba pereeverence and energy of
tbe two populations. But Ibis spectacle, which
does so much honor to their courage, is only giv
en at tbe price of numberless calamities ipyi u
! oroOignons effusion of blood. To these rrtStii of
f cmFwsr, which, from tue very first, assumed
! vast proport’ons, there is still to be added tbe
apprehension of servile war, which would be the
culminating point ot so many rrtparable disas
ters. The suffering of a nation towards which we
have always professed a sincere friendship, would
have suffice ! to excite the sincere solicitude oi tbe
Emperor, even bad we ourselves uot suffered by
the counter blow of these events.
Under tbe influence oi intimate relations which :
exteus.ve intercourse has multiplied between the
various regions of the globe. Europe baa suffer
td from the consequences of the ensis which has
due l i p one of the most fruitful eouicea of pub
lic wealth, and which baa became, fir the great
cenlie* or labor, a cause ol most sad trials.
As loiiai. aware, when the conflict commenced,
we held Hour duty to observe tbe most strict usu
trallty in concert wi'h other maritime Powers,
and the Washington Uabiuet has repeatedly ac
knowledged tbe honorable manner with which
we adhered to that line ol conduct The scuti
meats dicta.ei to us have undergone no change
but of a benevolent character. That neutrality,
instead of imposing upon ibe powers ibo attitu e
which might resemble md-ffsrence, ought rather
to make them of service to the two parties by
helping them out of n podition which seems to
have no issue. Erom the caaunecciaieat ot the
War an armed force was set on foot by tbe bet
lig> rents, which, since tbeu, lies been almo.tt cun
stuiitly kept up. Alter so much bloodshed they
are now, in that respect, utariy in tbe same pc -
sitiou, nothing authoriz-ng tbe presumption that
more decisive military ope;atioos.will shortly oc
cur, according to the lasi news received in Eu
tope. Th two armies, on tbo contrary, were in
a condition that would uot allow ci.her party to
hi pa within a br-et i-eluy lor uny decided advan*
tags to turn the balance and accelerate the cou
etbaiou o! a peace. All theeo (lireu-yetaucls,
taken together, point to the opportunity ol an
arrnist ce, to which, moreover, uudcr ti.e present
Circumstances, uo strategical objection cau be
made. Tbo favorable disposition-towards pesc
which are beginning to manifest lUemsrlves in
the North us well as the .South might, on the other
fiund, second steps that might bi made to revorn
mm 1 ilia idea ot truce The Emperor has, there
so e, thought that tbo occasion lias presented
itsolt of offering to the belligerents the aupport of
lbs good cilice jol the Maritime Powers, and hia
Majetlv has charged uie t, inuke t a preposition
of ibis government to her Britat.ic Majrsty, as
well us lu ti.e Court of Russia. The three Cabinets
would . xei i their influence at Washington, as

war, direct, eh-ouid provibuinally cease, on sea us
well us oil laud, aud it m'ght Pc, il necessary,
ulteriorally prolonged
r l'he overtures, 1 need uot say, sir, would not
imp f, on our part, any judgment on theorigio or
issue n.‘ F.- thiuggle, nor any pr.-- -rc uj.on^the
negotiations which might, it is to he hoped, ensue
in lavor ifan ri oiistice. Our task would consist
s .le’-v iu omao'.hiug down obstacles, and in inter
fering only iu a measure determined upon by the
two parties We should nol, m lact, bei eve our—
;>lvee calUd upon to decide, fiat to piep ™ l ‘*°
solution ot the (RlficuUien which have hitherto j
opposed reconciliation between the belligerent j
parties. Would not, moreover, an agreement be |
tween the three Ooutts respond sufficiently to
their intentionsV Won dit not give to their step
the character if evident impartiality ? Ac iog in
concert, they would couibiue ibe cocd.tiocs beat
suited to inspire confidence —tbe government ot
the Emperor, by* the constant tradition ot French
policy towards the United States—England, by the
communi.y cf race - Kusda, by tbe- marks of
friendship she has uevtr ceased to show to the
SVaabington Cabinet. Should tbe event not jusftly
the hope of the throe Powers, and should the ar
dor ol ibe struggle overrule tbe wisdom of their
councils, this attempt would not ba the leas hono
rable for them. They would have’ fulfilled a duty
ot humanity, more especially indloated iu a war
which bus excited passions which render all direct
attempts at negotiation more difficult. It is the
mission wb cli international law assigns neutrals,
ut tbo same time that it prescribes to them a strict
impartial ty, and they could never make a nob'er
use of their influence by endeavoring to put an
cud to a strugglo which causes so much guttering,
ud compromises such great interests throughout
the whole world.
Finally, tv n without immediate results, these
overtures would not be eutirely useless, for they
might encourage public opiuiou to views of con
ciliation, and thus contribute to hasten the moment
when the return o! peaca might become possible.
1 request you, sir, in tbe name ot hid Majasty,
to submit tbess considerations to Lord llusstdl or
toVr.nce (fortschokotl, bogging him to state tbe
views of the government of her Britannic Majesty
or lbs Courts oi Russia.

Fokeion Office, Nov. 14, 1562.
The following dispatch was addressed by Earl
Russel to Earl Cowley, her Majesty’s Ambassador
at Pai ls ;
Foheion Office, Nov. 13, 1862.
My Lord -The Count Do Flahault cams to tue
Foreign office by appointment, on Monday, the
10 iust , and lead to me a dispatch from if
llrouvn de 1 tluys. relttt ug to the civil war in
North Aiueiha. In this despatch Die Minister
for Fore go Affairs states that the Emperor bus
tollovved with painful interest the struggle which
has now beea. fc oing on lor more than a year on
the American continent. He does justice to the
energy sad perseverance which have been dis
played on both sides, but he observes that these
prools of their courage have been given at the
expense of innumerable calamities and immense
bloodshed To these accompaniments ol the
civ:i emdcl.a to bo added she apprehension of
s i vile war, which would bo the cilmai of so many
irreparable wietorkunes li these calamities
uivtci on y these Buffeting* of a friendly nution
would be eaougb to excue the anxiety and
sympathy ol the Emperor; hut Dumps has also
suffered in one ot the principal branches of her
industry, and her art Hans have been subjected to
uost ciuel trials. France and the maraiime
powers have, d-un j the struggle, maintained '.he
strides, neutrality; bat the sentiments by which
!' r arc animated, far from imposing ou taom
anything like indifference, seem, on the contrary,
to require that they should assist the two belliger
ent parties is an endeavor to escape from a posi
tion which appears to have no issue. The forces
of the two sides have hitherto fought with
balanced success, uud the latest accounts do not
show any prospect of a speedy termination of
the war.
These circumstances taken together, would
seem to favor the adoption of measures which
might bt ug about a truce. The Emperor of tne j
French, therefore, is of the opinion that there is |
now au opportunity ot ottering to the belligereuts 1
the good otlices of the maritinie Powers. He j
therefore proposes to her Majesty, as welt as to j
the Kmperor ol Russia, tost the taree Courts j
should endeavor, both at Washington and iu com- ;
municalion with the Confederate States, to bring |
about a suspension of arms forsix months, during J
which every act o! hostility, direct and indirect, i
should cease at sea as well as on land. The ar- !
ima ice, might, w necessary, be renewed for a
further peri; and
I »pu post.!, i)i*uyu ds I’tluys proceeds to
say, wvU and not mply ou the part of the three pow
ers any j idgmeot on the origin ot the wsr, or any >
preasurwon tbs negotiations for peace, which it is
hoped would take place during . the armistice.
The ti.iee Powers would oniy interfere to smooth
the obstacle!, and only within the limits which
the two interested parties would prescribe. The
-French government is of the opinion that eveu in
the event of a failure of immediate success,
these overtures might bo useful in leading the
minds of men now heated by pass-ion to consider
the advantages of conciliation and peace.
Such is in substanoe the proposal of the covern
| uient of the Emperor of the french, and 1 need
hardly sav that it has attracted the serious at -
tention of her Majesty s government. Her Majesty
,s desirous of acting in concurrence with France
upon the great questions now agitating the world,
and upon none more than on the contingencies
Connected with the great struggle now going on
in North America. Neither ner. Majesty, the
Queen, nor the British nation will ever forget the
noble and emphatic manner in which the Emperor
of the French vindicated the laws of nations, and
assisted the cause of peace in the Instance of the
Miture of the Confederate Commissioners on
hoard the Trent Her Majesty's government
recognises with pleasure the deeigu of arresting
- the progress of lie war by friendly measures, tbe
Benevolent views and humane intention! of the
Mmperor They are also of the opinion that if
t the step* proposed were to be taken, the concur -
l renoe of Raasia would be extremely desirable.
AUGUSTA, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1662,
Her Majesty’s government hare, however, not
been informed up to the pns nt time that the
Russian government have agreed to o-operats
with England and France on this occasiou, al
though that government may. euppoit the en
deavois ot England amt France to attain tbe end
proposed Hut is the end pioposed attainable at
the pres. n“. moment by the course suggested by
tie governmtnt of F'raacer
Such is the question which has bean anxiously
and cue ully examined by her Majesty’s govern
ment. Alter weighing all the information which
has been received from America, her Majesty's
government are led to the conclusion that there
is no ground at tbe present moment to hope (hat
the Federal government would accept the propo
sals suggested, a:.d a refusal from Washington at
the present lime would prevent acy speedy renew
al of tbe oifen. Her Majesty’s government think,
taere'ore, that itwould be better to watch careful
ly tba progress of opinion in America, and if,
as there appears reason to hope, it may ba found
to have undergone, or may undergo hereafter,
anv change, the three courts might then avail
themselves of such change to otter their friendly
counsel with a greater prospect than now exists
of its acc p'sd by tae two contending par-
Hir Majesty's government will communicate
to that of Franca any intelligence they may re
ceive from Washington or Richmond bearing on
this important subject.
Your Excellency may read this dispatch to 41.
Drouyn de i’ Huye, and give him acopy of it.

The Journal of St. Pet-rsburgh contains the

After r-.calling the roafctaot ettorts of Russia iu

Livkrpool, Nov. 15 -P. M.
The London Morning Herald bitterly denounces
the uon-in erverition policy of the British govern
ment, and says that the language of Lord John
Russell's dispatch “mocks tbe hopes and insults
the misery of halt a million starving English labor
ing men.”
The Uerand* theu thar-ges the Cabinet with
“abj'Ct patience and dastardly submission in order
to retain the Parliamentary support of the Bright
and Uobdon party.
The London Daily News thinks that Lord Hus
sill’s answer is the best that could have been
m da. without entering uuueceEsarily upon a dis
cussion ot the niei Us of the cuss, aud tejoioes at
having escaped from entangling diplomatic as
sociations with France. •
Savage Mubdeu of a Georgia SoLpiEß. —We
learn from a merchant of this city, who has recent
ly returned from a trip through the invaded suc
tion of Tennessee, that a soldier named Absalom
Spencer, of the first Georgia regiment, who was
left sick at Murfreesboro, after the fight at that
place, went into tbe country to get quurti’rs and
recruit hia health. At'tsi wandering about several
days Fe teued shelter uudtr the hospitable rod
ot a gentleman named Brown, who cared for (dm,
giving him tbo protection and consort of bia
house by eight, and ieereting him in (lie woods
i nring the day. Tho soldier Laving recovered
his health to some extent, ooceluded to run the
risk of remaining- at ihe house during tho day.
As had bten anticipated, it wa- uot long before
the alarm was given in the neighborhood. He
endeavored to escape, but was oveit.rken at a
fence wbiub bo was trying to get over, aud car
ried back to the house. \ pistol was presented
st Mrs. Brown, with demands and threats, which
she au.jvvered by stating that the man they had
taken was a sick stranger that had been stopping
at her house.
The soldier then 3iated that be was a Confed
erate Boldier, naming his company and regiment,
and demanding the treatment of a prisoner of
war. At the suggestion of a well known citizen,
Mr. Israel Hill, tho soldier was carried by the
scouis to tbe headquarters of Col. Stewart. This
gallaat Yankee of tbe Union army said; ” Don’t
bring any more rebel bushwhackers to me, but
shoot ihem down.” He then ordered the prisoner
to be tied between two stumps, and for eighteen
men to fire at him. Tbo first volley missed him,
ou which a brutal Dutchman ren up, and with the
muzzle of his gun within a few feet of Spencer,
shot him through the stomach. He died that
uigtal and was decently buried next day by tbe
citizens. He told Mrs. IL!!, at whose house he
died, that he lived in Coweta county, Ga., and
that be was a nephew of Bqibop Andrew—that he
had two brothers, one living in Tennessee and the
other in Tuscaloosa, Ala. He said he was au
Elder in tbe Methodist E. Church. Can we ever
live in union with such a peoples No, no, i ever !
Atlanta Confederacy.
Eastern North Carolina —Recent udvises
from Goldsboro’, N. 0., sta'e that twenty-five
Vankee prisoners, woo were captured at Bay
River, arrived in that town on Saturday, «n route
for Richmond, and that it was rumored that forty
others were on their way to the same point. A
number ofr refugees came up to Goldsboro’ from
Newbern, by a flag of truce, ou Thursday. Among
these, was John E. Morris, who was dispossessed
of his house about nine o'clock at night, and an
Abolition doctor put in possession. On remon
sliating against such treatment, he was told by
the Provost Marshall that he might as woll slesp in
the streets us the soldiers who were fighting for
their couutrv. He then visited Gov. Stanley to
obtain redress, who said he could do nothing for
him, as he would uot take tiis oath o! allegiance ;
whereupon he told liis bogus Excellency that, as
be bad taken his negroes and house, he might
now have his head. The retugees sav that there
are 10,000 negroes in und around Newbern, and
that they are dying at the rate of fifteen daily.—
The number of Abolition soldiers at the same
poiut is estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000.
A female spy is represented to have found her
way through our lie;:- to Newbern. It is said
when refused a passpuit by tie officer at King-don,
she came to Richmond, and obtained one. She is
regarded as a spy by ail true Southerners in New

A Cheap Method of Cubing Bacon—At this
Pune, when eat is selling lor two hundred dol
lars a sack, the 1.l owing simple and cheap math
off of ruling bacon given by a citizen of this State
may be worth trying:
I gin- at the bouse of Mr William Morton,
good bacon, from a hog weighing two hundred
and fifty pounds, made by dipping it in
boiling brine, hung and smoked immediately.
The plan is simple and commendable lor us econo
my of salt. Take a kettle or large pot nearly full
of tyater, put in a little more salt than the water
will dissolve, bring it to boil, cut up the meat, end
while animal beat is in it put in the kettle and
boil from two to four minutes, according as the
meat is thick or thin ; rub on meal to hasp off the
dies ; then hang and stocks it. The brine must
be kept up to its full strength by occasionally
adding salt. When the work is done, the remain
ing brine may be boiled down and the salt saved
lor other uses, or lor the next killing. Mr. Mor
ton s. ys he iearned this plan from an eld man
forty years ago, who had used it lor years previ
ous! He has freqenily tried it in the month of
August with invariable success. Every one who
knows him wi 1 vouch tor the truth of his asser
tion.”
Con.asps Markets.—There has bean very lit
tle change in prices since our last tepon. Cotton
still brings from I‘2>j to 15 cents—a small lot
w&s sold at 15%'c., being a superior quality ; Ostia
burgs sell at Eagle Factory at 40c ; strip, and cot
ton 50c.—demand heavy. These prices are adopt
ed by the Factory through motives of patriotism.

Oolambut T-jun, Du. 1.
laox Gckpowbbb—ln tbe year 1350, Mr.March,
»u able chemist connected with the Royal Aisenal,
discovered that it is an invariable rule with irou
j wbiob baa remained a considerable time under
water, when reduced to small grams, or an im
! palpable powder, to become red hot, and ignite
any substance with which it come in contact.
This he found by scraping some corroded metal
from a gun, which ignited the paper containing
it, and burned s bole in his pocset. The knowl
edge of this fact is ofrgreat importance, as it may
account for many spontaneous fires and explo
sions.
A man named John Duffy, was shot tn Savan

longing to tbe Louisians Battalion. Duffy snr
rivsd but a few minutes after he was shot.

the largest planter owns 57 star :?, and the ten

statistics, showing that tftre are I,SSJ white peo

Os the whites, 1,316 are ma es, and 672 females.
They are settled in nearly every district in the
Territory, have established vil ages, and no doubt
wield a preponderating influence in affairs. The
free colored people are unquestionably lbosa who
accompany the white se'tiers. The Indian popu

front bis action, conversation, Ac., suspicion as
to both his insanity and loyality was created,
when he was arroeted, and after being taken out
side of towu and having a void attached to bis
neck and drawn over the limb of a tre* a few
times, he admitted that he was one of a gang
who had been sent into the country for the pur
pose of burning Railroad bridges, Gove omest

were in the 'mountains, designatiag the place,
when a party of the citizens immediately went

be eioted for disobedience of orders. On tbis
becoiningknown, its True Delta paper published
the order,and ibe otber ne . spapera timidly sub
mitted to tbo force of the circumstances, and
published t aLo. The natural excitement and
indignatioi that followed throughout tba com
munity is adeseribable. " o tbeir credit, be it
said, neerlyall of Butler’s officeisexprfEocd them
selves aohaned of the indecent order, aud even
now they would lather not have the subject
brought up
Several hdy subscribers sent to the newspaper
office and iidignantly aud , ositivcly forbid that
such pitperi should uo longer ba left at their
dwellings. Uis Honor, Mayor Monroe, with a
party ot irluantia! citixens, at once called on
Butler andendeavorad to obtain some qualifica
tion of ibe order; hot they could get no satis
faction, aid were rudely dismissed. Mayor
Monroe tbai wroto an indignant and reproachful
eommunieaion to Butler, and again pressed him
for a modification ot the hatefui order. Butler
then lent foi the Mayor. Mayor Monroe replied,
“Tell Gen. Hitler m’y effise is at the City Hotel,
where be can see ms, it desirable.” Butler retor
ted, that unie»s the Mayor came at once to his
heapquarurs ie would send an armed force to
arrest and brag birr there. Furt’a r opposition
being useiess, the Mayor, chief of police, and
several frietds, theu wcut to the St. Charles
Hotel, where they found him in a towering rage.
Butler elaiii6d to be much insulted at the conduct
of the Mayor, and without ceremony or delay
sent Mr. ,Ybnro3 and those who accompanied him
into prison In ;*. few days they were all shipped
down to Ftrt Jackson, .ui. Monroj’s and.several
otber fumiliea were thus thrown into great dis
tress by this act of modern tyranny, and all claims
or petitions for their relief were unavailing.
About thi first of October Mrs. Monroe feelingly
requested fiat her busbanl might be permitted
to come home briefly to see their dying child.—
The effltctel wife bad better have adareaed her
tearful appeal u a statue o! sione, for the hard
hearted Bute turned a deaf ear to ner prayer.—
The poor ckild died soon afterwards.
The coudict of the negroes in New Orleans is
intolerable to their owners, who can exercise little
or no lontrol over them. The Abolitionists have
utterly demoralized them. They are led, clothed,
and quartered by the Yaekees, who fraternize with
them generally in a sbamefri manner, while they
laugh aed talk and walk together ou tbs streets,
in the most cisguating style, showing very ! ttle
inclination te make way uu the walk tor ladies
aud gentlemen. The likely muiatioea are employ
ed, or take up w ih the officers as body servants,
while the common class are engaged to cook and
wash for the men; bat their characteristic itido
lence prevails, and their Yankee brothers, who ol
course have uo idea how to manage the darkies,
get but little service out of them. A child of Mr,
Thoma3, a ciiizen of New Orleans, was walking
the streets in charge of a negrese, when a negro
boy stepped up and impudently took off a red,
w hite and red “s* Cetb ’ ribbou that was tied
around the child’s waist. On learning this cut
lage, Mr. Thomas hunted up the nigger and very
pioperly gave him a severe thiashing. The dar
key threatened vengeance, ami the next day. -r.
TUomaa wan u,r..u,i ..ml o. u*- lO IUS purisil pI ISOU
for thirty days luF whipping the negro. Mr. A.
Lathi op, oi Mobile, Lad a very likely mulatto boy
who rail off and took up with a Yankee officer; his
owner meeting tbe boy soon eftorwards about the
suburbs of tbe city, took him in charge, chastised
hint, and ordered him borne. Mr. Lathrop was
oi rested tod cast into the parish p-is n lor six
mouths tor daring to claim hia slave, after he. had
bben in possession of an officer of the army of tho
United Slates—i. e., an abolition thief. Very fe v
famil es in he city havo b en able to retain'their
uegro servants —nearly all have been enticed away,
openly or by steultb. Ou a demand being made
by tbe own er the negroes would sometimes be
given up, but in a day or two they would be miss
ing again.
A gentleman riding la one oi too eily railroad
cars wth his sister recently, the latter was rudely
pushed by a negro who just entered. The bro
ther knocked him down immediately ; the negro
got up and drew a revolver on the gentleman,
who beat him soundly. The giiitlenian was of
course arrested, eu complaint ot the negro. When
the ease came ou, iu a day or two, Provost Mar
shal Kiiboru said he was not acquainted with
either of tha gentlemen, and insultingly added, that
us he could not tell tho white man from the negro,
he would thank the white man to siand up and
answer the charge. The gentleman was sent to
jail for one week for striking the negro, and the
nigger was fined five dollars tor drawing a weapon!
The Abolitions ts boast that they have 20,000 ue
groes in uni around New Orleans. The number
is certainly very large: but a more idle, filthy,
lazy, degraded looking set of wretches never were
n ;en ; they can hardly be made to cook und wash
for themeeiTes, and the Abolitionists an greatly
perplexed in trying to manage them.
Ail the world kuuws old Dr. Warren Stone. He
is celebrated for his great surgical skill, as we 1 as
for his greatness of heart, independence of charac
ter, and devotion to tbo South, This truly great
man was selected by Butler an a “shining mar.),”
upon which to cast his venom. He was according
ly wrested ano. brought into the presence of the
tyrant. The Doctor walked up to Butler without
waiting to be asked, and said m an abrupt, curt
manner “Here I am, General, and i want to
know what i was arrested for.” Batler looked at
the Doctor from head to foot, and said contemptu
ously “I had you arrested because you are a
great rebel, and the inflnence of suclff£ man as
you are is dangerous to the community. I shall
s.nd you to Fort Jackson to get you out ol my
way.” The old Doclor looked steadily into the
repulsive crooked eyes of his wicked enemy, as
he indignantly replied: ‘ Great rebel, hey ? V ou’li
send me to Fort Jackson, hey f I glory in being
a great rebel; yon can send me to fort Jackson,
if you wish/' When about to be sect on board
the boat that was to convey him to the lort I)r.
Stone was informed that if be would pat a fine of
live hundred dollars be could avoid going down ;
but the old patriot scornfully r. torted Tell
General Batler that >t seems io be a matter ct dot
lars with him, but it is e matter of principle with
me, and i would not give him five cents i” No
■< an in the community is more be.loved and cd
mired than Dr-Stone, and, as soon as it became
known to fcis friends teat he could be relievtd on
paying » tine, they sent the amount to Butler, and
the coble old man was released.
Rcsoei or Clandestine Negotiations.—Tbe N.
York Tribune of the 17th published the following
editorially: »
We are informed that clandestine negotiations
have bees opened between certain Democratic
leaders in this City and tb head traitors at Rich
mond, looking to a reconstruction on the follow
ing basis !
The States now in rebellion are to elect mtmbsrs
of the present Congress who are to present them
selves at Washington and claim seats in said Con
gress on or before the first day ot January next.
Second—The House being bo filled, will at once
have a eonjojpt conservative and rebel majority t
who wi'i proceed to notify the President that the
rebellion is substantially ended; that the rebel
States are ad dnlv represented in the House : that
consequently his proclamation of freedom ia null
and void, and they are ful y under the protection
of the Constitution.
Third—Congress thus reconstructed is to pro
ceed forthwith to repeal allacts bearing hard upon
the tra'tois ji tue years, and to pass such
affisrs as may he nCsssary to seoure perfect
immunity and impunity to them.
Fourtn, A convention of the State* is to he ceil*#

we do not leant that they were atceoted; on the

further negotiations, and according to our infor

Details of the late Cesarewitcb race iu England
show that thirty seven hordes ran, and ot these
ilr. Ten Brosck had no leas than four, namely :
Umpire, Myrtle, Amy and Bedou n, the fir.tt two
being American b ed, Umpire was the favorite at
the start, but he could only get tho fourth piace, to
the great chagrin of h;s owner, who had backed
him to win a labuious amount. Uftrtingtou, a
v, ry ljghtwcighted throe year old, came iu first,
and a length behind him Myrtle, the American
mars', si that if Mr. Teu Brotok failed to wim, he
at least came very near it. The stakes were
worth nearly ten thousand dollars, but this is a
mere t ifl.> to what some of tbe Kitting men won
or the race, 'one of them, a “ bookmaker,” being
credited with tbu handsome sum Gs fifty thousand
dollars. Umpire ran gamely for a while, but he
was unable to stay over so long a course, and his
defeat was the result. Mr. Tea Broeck rn:> horses
in eight races during tbe meeting 01 these he
won two, second in three, and “ nowhere” in the
balance.

Special Correspondence of the Chronicle db Sentinel
Hearties*).owe of ilie Abolitionists.
Miiiedgkville, Dec. 2.
T e ln-artlesßi!ec3 and hypocrisy of our aboli
tion foe is illustrated, among innumerable other
damning records of the war, m with recent return
es a number of sick and infirm negroes to our
lines, from off one of the islands on the coast. Thi.se
slaves on ihe plantations contiguous to the shore
have been beguiled to leave comfortable and hap
py homes, under specious promises oi libelty and
ease. Their credulity is rewarded, according to
the enemy’s own accounts, ia the nio"t cruel
exactions from military taskmasters—attended
with separation of families, inadequate loud and
scarcely a shelter from the storm
Weary at length of feeding those unable to bare
their cruel burden, these philanthropist) propose
to return them t > us, atui in tho expectation ih.-.t
oar forbearance and humanity will induce ns to
teceivo them. The class sent hack arc those who
havt doubtless seen least ot their cruelty, and
being.unable to serve their schemes o! gain, have
been tanghs lesson j of incendiarism, pr eparatory
to th' ir return. Our authorities on the coast have
very properly sought instraetious.from the Gover
nor, what disposition to make of tbein. They
should not he suffered to remain it (lav in our
borders. If they deliberately ran 3way; and are
intelligent enou h to know the nature of their
offence, they should be bung, as examples 'o our
slave population. If they were decoyed off by
false promises, and manifest a genuine contrition,
they might be re.amod. but should not be suffered
to come iu contact iv.uli our slaves. They aie
doubtless sent under ihe-puritan.c plea of humani
ty-to siir up insurrection, or to act as spies
Stealing i- a Puritan viitue. ’Taey stole the heri
tage o'the Indian -stoic the negro Horn Africa
and quarters t him os it, they steal ttaiisu’s share
of the proceeds of his labor, through,a cunning
system of tariff:, and now they , r ; o-o to add
lniamy vo their crime by sendiug nun back as so
agent to effect a wholesale robbery ol our lauds,
slaves and iiberlie-. The records ol human de
privity show no par. liel to the sneaking hypocrisy
and villainy ol'ihe Abolition nation.

how the inherent defects of that rystem created

dent Lincoln has,- by tampering with tbe Consti
tution, paved the way for a military dictatorship
or civil despotism of come future “ elect of the
'millions;” how British subjects iu the South are
now practically unprotected in case of out;-.ago—a
matter which touches one of England’s most sen
sitive points; and how recognition is not a ques
tion of the interest:; or fe-Rings or the na
tion, but of the right cf tho Confederacy. Tho
foliowing is the conclusion of the article to which
we have referred i
In -tr. th tbe whole slavery dispute seems pet

ot American carnage or the daily tale of Lanca

blood of our own rase is being poured out Ike

We cannot reconcile ourselves to the subject of
a famine stricken population at home, by the hope
that if their sufferings are sufficiently prolonged,
the integrity of an aggressive and unscrupulous
empire may possibly be restored, i very consid
eration of humanity to those at home and those
abroad demands that vve should do everything in
our power, and, if, need ba risk something, to
bring this learfnl desolation to a close. As soon as
the time oomes—we trust it may be close at hand
—when, by a fair interruption' of interpretation
of International law, we cau join with other Eu
ropean powers in recognizing an independence
which is already uu accomplished fact, there is a
fair hops that the Federais may see in our de
oiaratioc an honorable plea for re!routing from a
contest which they will assuredly never be extri

Mobile to re defended to the Last .xirumi.
ty. —Hon. R. H. Slough the IJayar ol Mobile, in
a letter to the Govera.u* of Alabama, noticing the
resolutions recently passed by the Legislature ol
that State with reference to the defence of that
city, says “the people of the city, without distino
tion of class, have long ago made up their minds
that, come what might, Mobile should be defended
to the last, and that the Abolition hordes cf the
North might level its edifices to aches, but should
never hold a part of its soil in peace.” He adds .
Though they should eucccod in driving our entire
population from their homes, while th ere remain
ed a man capable of handling a gun the invading
foe would be subjected to the most determined at
tacks. While prepared for the worst, your Excel
lency must regard our people as without hopes of
a successful resistance against any toroo tha en
emy may bring against us. Our people ars ready
for the contest, and will go into the fight detirmin
ed to save tha city of Mobile if it is to be saved by
any exertion or sacrifices in their power ; but if
it prove otherwise, then let ashes mark ihe site
whereon stood our cherished homes, and the ruth
less invader, standing amid the ruins that fie has
made, shall find that even the naked soil can
not ba held by him with impunity. All that our
citizens ask is that the powers oi the Uoniederate
and tbe Btate Governments shall use all their ex
ertions to second tbeir resolve, and make the de
fence of our city as strong as possible.
The citizens of Mobile show tho right spirit. It
is a commendable one, and one worthy of being
imitated everywhere.
The Federal Fifteen Inch Gun. —The Federate
appear to have a great deal of treubia with the
terrible weapons with v/bich they intend to “wipe
out” the South. The now Monitor Passaic has
made another unsatisfactory trial of her fifteen
inch gun—of which the Cincinnati Gazette says:
A ekiillu gunner might throw a shell into a
porthole large enough lor these guns; therefore
the porthole was fixed lor firing through without
protruding the gun, being little .larger than the
ball. The first fire was as much as the crew cared
to risk in that exoSriment. The smoke and fi’.me
filled the turret. ‘ Then a flange was fitted to the
muzzle of the gun and the curve ot the tnriet to
increase the space, The last trial was of this con
trivance. Thirty-five pounds of powder and a
hollow shot were fired. The concussion lifted the
perforated shield plates on top of the turret, one
of which fell on Captain Worden’s foot. The vo
lume of flame from the muzzle set the tackle for
hoisting the shot on fire, burned .the eyebrows
and hair of one of the gun crew, and the fores of
the gas tore off the flange. It waa.found also that
although the extra flange might fit the inside
curve of the turret, the gun must rtcoil before
the charge left it. It was rather q ieer that ord
nance officers should have to experiment to find
that out. The result proved that the porthole
must be enlarged s i as co iet the muzzle of the
gua protrude, or some sliding arrangement like
the joints of a telescope must be contrived to keep
up .bo connection with t e porthole while tho gun
recoils.
