Treatment ofXesroes by the EnemY.
The enemy—the special friends of the black
man as he professes to be—is putting the setews
to the servants, whom he has stolen or captured,
in very lively and feeling manner.
The New York Times, of tho 24th tilt , publish
es a report upon the contrabands at Fortress
Monroe, irom Dr ;Robert Whare, which throws a
good deal of light on the subject. We do not
wonder that our negroes tv->r\where shrink in
stincively from the abolitionists. They have
good reason to dread them ~ W believer contra
hands fall into the hinds of the abolitionists thev
are put to the hardest work tnl kept at it early
and late.
1 tie orders of General Wool are that such ot
th* m as are employed by citizens or < flier rs si - ■
receive the men eight, dollars a month, and tire
women four, but from this sum is to be deducted
whatever is necessary for their eiothing. Thev
may be furnished with caslt to the amount of one
do lars or two iloliais per month— and they may
not! If they behave very well and do, say twie<
or three times as much as they were accustomec
to do at home, they may receive—if some contrac
tor does not steal it from them—the one dollar s
m >nth! The report says that about one thousam
six bundled will be a lair estimate of the cun,her
ot contrabands stolen, about six hundred of them
beihg women aud children. The pay they get
alter paying lor their clothing, goes to a fund to
support tile children and sick. Instead of being
taken care of by ttieir kind masters and mistresses
they have to take care and provide for their own
wants.
As to their quarters: The report of Dr Ware
says there is “great destitution among the women
and children. “The Government has furnished
them with no clothing!'’ Only the men who can-
work upon the fortifications and in the ditches—
for one dollar :> month cash—can get “coat, trow-
s“rs. shoes and hat’’ “There is still a lack of
ilotbing,” the rep< rt goes on to say even, “ann nr
them," among the men. The pittance they get
from their captors,;it they ever really get anything
at all, does not sufice to keep them e-lutfied. Moan
amounts of clothing “come from privatf
contribution, but they ate wholly insufficient.'
We quote the exact words of the inspector. The
Government has erected “a light board hut raised
about ten fees high. A partition runs through it
dividing it into two stories. In the lower story
there aro bunks for sixty men ranged four in a
row, in three tiers; ,here are also tables for eating
and a cooking stove. In the upper story. the an a
of which is lessened by the slope of the roof
bunks have been placed for sixty men; the only
means by which air can be admited are two small
windows of six panes each. The men have no
blankets, but sleep on bed sacks and straw.
This building is to hold 250 men.’' 259 men are
huddled together m this lint, not otte of whom
over five feet in height can stand erect in it I he
size is not stated., but it is addtd that a larger otu
is going up,and this is to be 46 by 63 feet, and is
to hold 400 men to eat and sleep in this hut the
whole winter. They have no blankets, hut sleep
on straw—with the keen biting blasts con ing in
from the atlaniic upon them in mid-winter. Hor
rihle to think of We. don’t wonder the negroes
want to got away, and that the abolitionists have
succeeded in stealing only I (>n0 all told.
The report coniiuuss that “scanty as these ac
commodations are, they are better than the rest
enjoy. Some families of six to eight persons are
crowded in a house twelve feet by six, made by
joining two gun houses together. Others live
crowed in old tents; others in pimitive shan
ties, made by hastily knocking a few boards to
gether; while th* number o: men, woman and
children crammed into the old building at the cor
ner of the road leading from tbe Fott to Hampton,
is beyond computation; they seem to ooze out at
all its crevices.
This crowding is the more painful as there is no
separate house for the sick. They lie in the nox
ious atmosphere created by so many persons. I
was told that were about thirty sicks persons
among those living just about the fort.
These are the words of the medical inspector
Only think of it—men, women and children, and
the sick, and we suppose the dying also, all crow
ded indiscriminately together into these filthy,
dark old shanties, with insufficient clothing, and
“no blankets,"’ and no beds but straw or rags.
Great God! is this the love of abolition for the
servants of the South? Was the “Black Hole”
of Calcutta much more terrible than these places,
intonvliich, 4 sixteea hundred stolen negroes are
nightly thrust., are deserted to be by the medical
agent of the very Government which sanctions
the atrocities?
So much for the freedom which abolition offers
the black man. It would make him "free to suf
fer.” Fortuuately,! abolition is pretty well under
stood by our happy servants, and it will be able to
kidnap but few; and these few unless they are the
stupidest dolts that ever lived, will get away from
them whenever they can get a chance.
DISCUSSION IN TIIE Hors/; OF representatives
ON THE SETTLEMENT OF THE TRENT AF--
Washington. Jan. 7, 1862.—A message was re
ceived from the President, communicating the
papers iu the Trent affair heretofore publish
ed.
A motion was made to refer them to the Com
mittee on Foreign Ati'aiis.
Mr. Vallandinglmm, fopp ) of Ohio, said:—I
avail myself,sir, cf this, the earliest opportunity
offered, to express my utter and strong condemna
tion, as one of the representatives of the peo
ple, of the act of the administration in surrender
ing up Messrs. Afason and 81idel! to the British
Government. For six weeks, sir they wero held
in close custody as traitors of the United States
by order of the Secretary of State, and w ith the
approal and applause ot the press, of the public
men, of the Navy Department, of this House,
and of the people of the United States, with a full
knowledge of tho manner and all the circum
stance of their capture, and j et in six days after
the imperious and peremptory demand of Great
Britain, they were abjectly surrendered upon the
mere rumor even of the approach of a hostile
fleet, and thus for the first time in our national
history have we strutted insolently into a quarrel
without right, and then basely crept out of it
wit bout honor; and thus for tbe first time has the
American eagle been made to cower before the
British lion.
Sir, a vassal or fettered and terror stricken
press or servile and sycophantic politician in this
House or out of it, may applaud the act, and fawn
and flatter, and lick the hand which has smitten
down our honor into the dust. But the people,
now or hereafter wiil demand a terrible reckoning
for this most unmanly surrender. But I do not
trust myself to speak of it now as’ I propose some
day to speak. I p opose only to put on record my
emphatic protest against it. and to express my
deep conviction that tiie very war which the other
day might have been avoided by combined wis
dom and firmness, is now inevitable.
Sir, tho surrender may be no fault of the Sec
retary of State, but he lias sown, 1 fear, the drag
on's teeth, by tins, his latal despatches, and arm
ed war will spring from it. In the liameofGod. sir
what does England want with Mason and Slidell?
It was a surrender of the claim of the right to
seize them on board her ships, under her flag,
that she demanded, and yet this is the very thing
that Mr. Seward pertinaciously refuses, aud be
only condetnds Captain Wilkes because he did
not enforce this asserted right with greaterseveti’y
against the offending neutral ship. Why, sir. up
on the principles ot this despatch, if a merchant
vessel as at first intended, bad been employed
to carry these men out from Fort Warren to Eng-
and she might to day have been arrested on the
high seas and they dragged :rotn her deck, provi
ded only she were forthwith brought back to the
port ot Boston for confiscation.
But more than this England needs. Ido not
say wants a war, but she must and will have it,
and this administration lias acted from the begin
ning as if it was their purpose to oblige her in it to
the utmost. Look intoyour diplomatic correspon
dence. Look at your stone fleet. But let that
pass. Who, I ask, among all the millions of the
country, or even in the House or Senate, or the Ad-
uiipistratiun itself, in the midst of the dead calm
of stolid security which seems uow to rest over all,
has reflected for a moment upon the signiticancy
of the events of the passing hour 1
A British man of war bears to the shores of Eng
land, there to be received in triumph and with
shouts of exultation as martyrs aud heroes, and
with the gustos of the people of England and as
proteges of their ministers, the very men who, but
for the rash act of Captain Wilkes and the still
more rash endorsement ot the Administration aud
the country; would six weeks ago have been quiet
ly landed from a ship in quiet security as rebels
and refugees. All Europe will rise up to do them
honor, aud yet you surrender them, did you, to es
cape the recognition by England of the Confeder
ate States, and your Secretary of State, with Chris
tian resignation or stoic philosophy, calmly rejoic
es that the effectual check upon and waning pro
portions ot the insurrection, as well as the compar
ative unimportance of the persons concerned, hap
pily enable the Administration, alter six weeks of
experiment, to cheerfully liberate them, and thus
to remove this terterimi causi belli.
Sir, give me leave to say that the moment they
(Mason and Slidell) stepped upon the deck of a
British man of-war, your prisoners of State, whom
the other day yon would have consigned to felon's
cells, became indeed the envoys and embassadors
of a recognized independent State, and I predict
here to-day, in spite of this deep national humilia
tion, or rather perhaps because of it, and in spite,
too, of the surrender, without protest, of the Mon
roe doctrine.for forty years the cherished and proud
policj- of this government, in less than three
months, j-ou will be at war with Great Britain, or
e ! se, in the meantime will have baselj’ submitted
to the recognition of the Confederate States, and
the breaking up of the blockade: and if at war
then, witli hearts unstrung, and hands unnerved
by this very surrender.
Courage! com age ! courage! sir, is the best
and first of peacemakers I know well, of course,
sir. lhat. like all other similar predictions for some
years past, in regard to our public affairs, you will
treat Ibis one also with scoffing and incredulity :
but nevertheless, I put it on record here to-day.—
“The prudent man forseeth the evil and hideth
himself, but the simple pass on and are punished.
A Private Letter prom Com. Dupont.—
In a private letter to Fox, the Assistant
Secietary of Lincoln’s Navy Department,
Com. Dupont says :
During the disheartening evening of my
passage my faith never gave way, but at
some moments it seemed almost appalling.
On the other hand, I permit no elation at
our success; yet 1 eann t refrain telling you
that it has been more complete than 1 ever
could have believed.
I kept under way, made three turns,
though I passed live times between the
forts. I had a flanking division of five
ships to watch old Tattnall, who had eight
small and swift steamers ready to pounce
upon any one of ours, should they be dis
abled.
* 1 could get none of my big frigates up
I thought the Sabine would have gotten
clear—to the St. Lawrence I sent no word,
and the Savannah was blown off. I do not
regret it now except on their own account.
I believe my plan was clever. 1 stood
against the tide and had the management
the better in consequence.
The confidence was extreme that they
could drive us away. They fought brave
ly, and the rifle gnus never missed. An
NO-pound rifleshot went through our main
mast in tbe very centre, making an awful
hole. They aimed at our bridge, where
they knew they would make a hole.
Luckily a shot in the centre let water into
the after magazine, but 1 saved perhaps a
hundred lives by keeping under way and
being in so close.
We found their lights graduated at 600
yards. When they once broke the stam
pede was intense, and not a gun was spi
ked. I never conceived of such a lire as
that of this ship on its second turn, and I
am told that its effect upon the spectators
outside of her was intense. I learn that
when they saw the flag flying on shore,
the troops were powerless to cheer hut
wept. Gen. Sherman was deeply affec
ted, and the soldiers are loud and unstin
ting in their expressions of admiration
and gratitude. The works are most scien
tifically constructed, aud there is nothing
like. “Walker” on the Fotoinac.
I did not allow the victory to cheek our
ardor, but dispatched some'vessels under
Captain Gillis over the other side. To
day I have an expedition to Beaufort to
save the light vessels, but they were fired
instantly after the surrender.
Gen. Drayton, who commanded the reb
el forces in the recent action of Fort Roy
al and Beauregard, is the brother of Com
mander Drayton, who so gallantly com
manded one of our splendid gunboats in
tbe action. They bombarded each other
at a great rate. They are sons of the late
Colonel Drayton, a distinguished South
Carolina member of Congress.
Commander Stedman, who comman
ded a division of our fleet in the battle of
Fort Royal, is a native and citizen of
South Carolina.
Hon. T. Butler King.—We are pleased
to see that this gentleman lias arrived
safe at New Orleans. He reached that
city on the 25tl: instant ria Havana, from
whence he came as passenger in the steam
er Calhoun. Mr. King, as we are advised,
labored hard for the success of his mission,
as Commissioner from this State to Belgi'
um, and would doubtless have succeeded
but for the war. He, however, has done
“good service” to the Confederacy, as is
generally acknowledged, both in France
and England. We bid him a cordial wel
come to bis home.
True Friendship.—Perhaps friendship
is the most sensitive of all affection; the
first doubt—the first neglect—the first
seeking of another for that sympathy
which we thought it our own special
privilege to give- -these are moments
which burn their traces on the heart, and
leave a scar which though it may possess
the dubious advantage of callousness to fu
ture impressions inflicts agony ere it har
dens. And to such wounds friendship is
specially liable. Love confers an equali
ty, whether real or imaginary; there is a
balance of feeling; its‘very essence is re
ciprocated. But friendships are for the
most part unequal, existing between per
sons whose characters are dissimilate, ei
ther fundamentally or in the aspect which
they present to each other. The keen
tenderness the watchful rever nee, the
fear, the passion, are not equally divided
and much must he suffer in whom they
predominate, much must he forbear, long
must he persevere ere the lo: d of full and
perfect confidence is finally established.
But if there he indeed that hidden basis
of sympathy, without which no true friend
ship is conceivable it is well worth the
struggle; for the reward shall overpay the
labor. Forbearance, truthfulness, hope—
on these three pillars may the temple be
reared but if one of these fail, especially
if the second fail there will be nothing but
a shapeless ruin ?
Blue Stone.—The Athens (Tenn.) Post
says : We have at this ollice a sample of
blue stone, manufactured at the Folk coun
tv copper Mines. This is an article in-
dis'pensible to telegraph operators, and for
some other purposes, and in general a de
mand among seeding time. The supply
had become nearly exhausted, but it is
now being largely manufactured at Duck-
town, and no further difficulty will be ex
perienced in procuring it.
The Great Mystery.—The. body is to
die, so much is certain. What lies beyond?
No one who passes the charm boundary
comes back to tell. The imagination vis
its the remains, of shadows sent out from
some u indow of the soul over life’s restless
waters, but wings its way wearily back
with an olive leafin its beak as a token
of emerging, life beyond the closely bend
ing horizon. The great sun comes and
goes in heaven, yet breathes no secret of
the ethereal wilderness; the cresent moon
cleaves her nightly passage across the up
per deed, but tosses over no message and
displays no signal. The sentinel stars
challenge each other as they walk their
nightly rounds but we catch no syllable
of their countersign which gives passage
to the"heavenly camp. Shut i.iShut in !
Between this and the other life is a great
gulffixed—across which neither eye nor
foot can travel. The gentle friend whose
eyes we closed in their last sleep long
years ago, died with rapture in her wonder
stricken eyes, a smile of ineffable joy upon
her lips, and hands folded over her trium
phant heart; but her lips were past speech,
and intimated nothing of the vision that
enthralled her.”
An Appeal to Marylanders.—A short
time since, the free heaven of Virginia
rung to the sound of the voice of Maryland
men in the army of tlie Confederate
Slates, as they chaunted their sad but
proud refrain—words of fire from the lips
of a Maryland poet—
“There is life in the Old Land yet!”
It was upon the solemn occasion ot the
reception of the new battle flag—the
Sonthern Cross. These men, among the
best and bravest of her sons, have fled
front the oppression and tyranny new
crushing Maryland to the dust—not to
secure safety for themselves—their lives,
or their fortunes—but grasping with
revengeful hands the swords and the gun
proferred them by the sympathy and
chanty of her sister States, that they may
turn their faces to 'the foe, and, rushing
ia the van of the Southern forces, carve
through the loathed ranks ofthesr enemies
their way back to Maryland, and deliver
her. From fifteen to twenty thousand
Maryland men under the Confederate flag
bear witness to the fact
“Theri’'s life in the Old Land yet!”
The clanking of the chains upon the free
born limbs of McHenry and Lafayette—-
tbe piteous sighs of Maryland women in
the rooms where they languish in dreary
imprisonment, fall not unheeded, are not
forgotten, will not be unrevenged by those
of her sons who have escaped the crafty
cunning and hideous tortures of the brutal
power that has thus enslaved them. So
long as life and health last, these men will
fight for liberty and Maryland.
But in such an army as this, composed
chiefly of men like the famous “six hundred
who rode into the jaws of death at the
battle of Balaklava, gentlemen of the
purest blood and the tenderest nuture;
men accustomed to the conforts, if not all
the luxuries of life—though they have
cist from themselves all wants, save what
are absolutely necessary for the simple
support of life, yet there is a limit to the
human power of endurance, and . nv of
these noble, gallant men, have lain s, k
wounded and dying, dependent uopn the
charity (thank God extended with no
sparing hands) of the physicians and hos
pitals which each Confederate State has
so wisely provided for the needs of their
brave soldiers.
The Marylanders have been clothed by
the hands of Virginia women. r l hey have
been nursed and tended by those noble
women in many instances, and have been
entirely dependent upon them in their
illness and the hospitals of the other States.
There is being made now an effort to es
tablish a Maryland hospital, for the use of
M aryland soldiers, at Rishmond, Va. A
few Maryland men are attempting this g od
worke; one which needs only to be men
tioned in order to commend itself to every
feeling heart.
There are many Marylanders scattered
throughout the se Confederate States—meu
and women, whose hearts throb warmly
to “the Old Land yet!” To these persons
only can the Maryland Hospital look for
aid! Cut off from their own State, exiles,
strangers and sick, there are none to whom
the Maryland soldiers can appeal for sym
pathy aud help but those who first drew
their living breath in the same native air,
in whose veins runs the kindred blood of
Maryland fathers, who have stood by the
knee and were nursed upon the breast of
Maryland mothers. They ask assistanse
from Marylanders in the South ; upon
those they call who still love poor Mary
land, and have sympathy for her sick,
suffering wounded sons. Contributions
of any kind, blankets, comforts, cotton for
mattresses, either for making or stuffing
them, hospital stores, flannel shirts, money
anything that can be made useful for the
sich will be gladly received. All articles
should be addressed to the “ Maryland
Hospital, Richmond, Va.”
A Marylander.
Econemy in Boots.— How to make three
pair of boots last as long as six, and lon
ger. The following extract is fram Col-
Macerone’s Seasonable Hint9, which ap
peared in the Mechanics’ Magazine, dated
Feb. 3d, 1S48. After stating the utility of
sheep skin clothing for persons whose em
ployment renders is necessary that they
should be much out of doors, &c., he
says:
“I will not conclude without inviting
the attention of your readers to a cheap
and easy method for preserving their feet
from wet, and their hoots from wear, I
have only had three pair ot hoots for the
last six years, (no shoes) and I think that
I shall not require any other for the next
six years to come- The reason is that
I treat them in the following manner: I
put a pound of tallow and a half pound of
rosin into a pot on tho fire, and when mel
ted aud mixed I warm the hoots and apply
the hot stuff' with a painter’s brush until
neither the sole or upper leathers will suck
in any more. If it is desired that the
boots should take pollish, dissolve an
ounce of beswax with an ounce of turpen
tine to which add a teaspoonful of lamp
black. A day or two after the boots have
been treated with the rosin, rub over them
the wax and turpentine, but not before the
fire. Tallow or any other grease becomes
rancid and rots the stitching as well as the
leather, but the rosin gives it an antiseptic

Her. J. R. Graces, Nashville, Tenn.—
Dear Sir: I have received with great
pleasure your leter of the ISth inst, with
the Holy Bible, Testament, t and school
books accompanying it.
The Bible is a beautiful specimen of
Southern workmanship, and if I liev" ♦"
be inaugurated the first Fresident
Confedracy on the 22d of Fehuary next,
my lips shall press (the sacred volume
which your kindness has bestowed upon
me
I have no time to examine the school
books, but I doubt not they are improve
ments on those formerly used, and I am
gratified that a Mississippian has been the
first to engage in this work, so important
for the proper instruction of our children.
You are right in supposing that I felt a
deep interest in evrey undertaking which is
calculated to make us thoroughly indepen
dent in everything pertaining to the pros
perity and progress of a free and great
Confederacy.
With many thanks for your considera
tion, and best wishes for your welfare.
I am your friend.

vance until due, has been responded to by
the Secretary of the Treasury declining
the advance. As there is money enough
