- ^Charleston, October 21. —The Daily News
of this morning, publishes a letter from
Wade Hampton, in reply to a Wisconsin
: lawyer, who requests lum, in view of the wide
1 spread misrepresentations of his course, to
define his position as to the issue, results and

not allowing any of them to leave, his post
for even a moment. The engineer was not
permitted to oil his machinery.- The myste
rious passengers evidently feared he might
suddenly put it out of repair. The head of
the tug was held steadily down the river un
til approaching Cat island, twenty-five miles
below, near the Arkansas shore. This was
between 74 and 8 o’clock, and Capt. Ford was
ordered to run his tug alongside the little
Rteamer Hesper, which was tied up, wooding.
During the trip the leaders informed Ford
that they intended overhauling the Hesper,
destroying the arms, bnt that strict orders
had been issued to the men to harm no one
, and respect all other property.
In obedience to orders, Capt Ford run the
tug alongside. This was no sooner accom
plished than, leaving two of their number in
the pilot honse, two in the engine room, and
one in the cabin as a guard—the latter over

The masked party suddenly sprang aboard
the Hesper. Little or nothing was said, and
the boarders who evidently had an eye to
business, placed the crew under surveilance
arid commenced the work in hand. The gun
boxes were broken open with axes and hatch
ets, the gnus token ont, and thrown into the
river; many were broken before being' con
signed. to the element.' A large quantify of
ammunition in the bold, marked “sundries,”
was-also thrown overboard. The boxes were
shoved overboard after them, and many of
them were seen by passengers on the May
flower floating with the current.

The editor proceeds to express the opinion
that a new party, “The Party of the Future,"
will arise, created by ther necessities of the
country, composed of the patriotic and con
servative men of both of the existing parties.
He thinks he sees already the beginning of
this party among tlie people themselves, who,
in tho election just past, have'shown their
aversion to men of extreme views; and he in

The Defeat of Mr. Vallandiqham.—Day-
ton, October 13.—Vallandigham, the Probate
Judge, and Prosecuting Attorney, were all
present at the Soldiers' Home place of voting
to-day, to challenge the .votes of the inmates
of the Home, Vallandigham being chief.
At 4 o’clock 250 votes had been polled, and
249 of these were open Republican ballots.
The object in challenging was doubtless to
cause delay, that the fewest number might be
polled.
The above is from the telegraphic columns
of the Gazelle. It explains why Mr. Vallan
digham was beaten. The Soldiers’ Home is
entirely under Radical influence, and no sol
dier is received there or- permitted to remain

candidate. Bnt these 250 men came from aU

seems impossible for the Radicals to have, a
victory anywhere except by gross tyranny
alongside. Whether the person in it was-
black or-wlnte could not be ascertained, as
he too was masked. Six of the raiders got

A Poetentious Fact.—We lately showed
that conferring suffrage upon the negroes
would give them eventually the balance of
power, and make them a party of pets to be
courted by the leaders of either or both par
ties into which the white voters are divided.
That this state of things have already come
to pass is manifest in the case of the negro
; at Portsmouth,' Virginia, who was sentenced
to be hung last week for the crime of rape,
but whose sentence was commuted, pre
liminary probably to a full pardon,
; because the district wherein he resides
gives 7,000. negro majority. On the'‘other
hand, a poor white man, concerned in the
same crime with this negro and also
sentenced, was summarily hung according; to
sentence, since his color waB a minority in
the district. T6 be sure, this is really offer-'
ing u premium to negroes for the commission
of- the very crime to which they aye most
prone, and, in the case of this negro, it is a
concession which has not been equalled since

Tait saw at once and seemed to be fully aware
of his impending doom. Seizing the gig’s

and waved to bis comrades a last adieu. All
