At tho very time, when, on this false?rppro
sentaUon from Paris, onr jniblic
employed~ln cemplotlpg a
publication, which will' contalnan account of.
hiis Travels In Spain, in 1847. ,: This work was
originally to havo appeared lit 1848, bnt the
political and personal complications oi that
Year of Revolntions prevented its completion
at that period, and what Byron designates
« tho distractions of a various lot” have since
delayed it. However, its publication may bo
looked for, ore long, and it will be at once
valuable and interesting, if it be as good as
tho Prince’s preceding works. For this ma-
ligned gentleman, who has been so elaborately
described as at once so effeminate Epicurean,
an incarnation of tho spirit of mischief) and a
new edition of the rodoubtable Blue Beard,
happens to bo a laborious student, a lover of
literature and art, an acknowledged savant,
a traveller through every country in Europe,
and many parts of Asia and Africa, and a man
of letters who dolights to communicate to the
pnblio, in charming nurratives, his impressions
of his natlvo land and of other realms.
There is a circumstance connected with
Prince Demidofe’s tour in Spain, so much
to bis credit, and go likely to interest our
readers, that We take ieavo to mention it here
—though the generosity which we shall record
undoubtedly neither expected nor desired to
be made public.
In September, 1847, Prince Deudovi
visited Gibraltar. The United States steamer
Frincclon was there at the time, commanded
by Captain Fbedebick Enole. Prince Usui-.
doff visited this Vessoi, then anchored in the
Bay or-Gibraltar, and, out of compliment to
his nation, was honored with a salute. Unfor
tunately, one of the guns burst, and so much
injured a seaman, Thomas Dennis, of Boston,
that it was necessary to araputato both his
anus, tho same evening. On hoariog of this
accident, noxt morning, tho Prlnco wrote to
Captain Enole, with whom he was on torms
of intimacy and friendship, that considering
hlmsoif “ tho indirect, though' innocent
cause” o( tho misfortune, he desired to soltlo
upon Dennis an annuity of four hundred,
French francs, paid annually in advanoo, at
the oflice of the United States Navy Agent,
at Philadelphia. Tho accident took plaea on
September sth, 1817, and Prince Demidoev’s
intended liberality was ackn9wlcdged, on tho
part of Dennis, by Captain Engle, in the
warm torms of gratitude which the generous
deed excited. Tho necessary legal document,
binding tho Prince and his heirs to pay tho
annuity to Thomas Dennis, was prepared
without delay. Five eopios were eXocntod.
The Prihco retained one, While the remaining
four were severally placed In the hands of
Captain Enoch, of the United Statos Consul
at Gibraltar, tho Notary Fnblie who officially
attosted the deed, aad of the Governor of
Gibraltar. Tho first yoar’s income was paid
in advance, and tho succeeding annualpay
ments bavo been duly mado, in this city,'over
ainco. :
Under date Novomber VI, 1817, tho Hon.
J. Y. Mason, thon Secretary of tho Navy,
(and now United States Minister at Piris,)
wrote a lottor, on the part of our Executive,
to Captain Engle, in which he expressed re
gret at the accident, the painful consequences
of which were “ much alleviated by tho con
siderate and generous kindness of Prince Ds
umoFF and Sir Rodebt Wilson.” The latter
was Governor of Gibraltar at tho timo cf tho
accident, and at once received Dennis into
tho British hospital In that garrison, whore he
was treated with all kindnoss.
After Dennis loft tho hospital, with one
arm amputated above, and the other bolaw tbo
elbow, Prlnco Df.’hidoff sent him to ?aris,
accompanied by his own private eecritary,
and two men from tho Princeton, in orthr to
have artificial arms fitted on. Aftor Dbws
returned, it was found that tho mechmical
arms did not work properly, whoreupoi the
Prince sent him to England, whore n ney sot
of arms Was bought lor him, very costly, hut
so complete that Dennis has over sincebeen
able to help himself to food by their aid;
Those who feel any interest In these parti
culars may thank us for informing them that
Dennis eventually returned to this country,
where he married and has a family, and that
he is now under pay at the navy-yard atVash
ington, able to porform his duties (as amos
songer, wo believe,) to the satisfaction cf his
superiors in command.
There Is not tha slightest necessity for com
menting on the humane and generous feeling
manifested by Prince Dehidoff in this case.
We will charitably hope that if the Paris
correspondent had boen acquainted with these
circumstances, he would not.have' made the
Boston Post tho medium of slandering such a
well-deserving man. Certainly, no Jlmerican
has any grounds for clouding the name of
Dehidoff.
Wo have mentioned his reputation as an
author. His?first work-is entitled “Lettres
Biir L’Empire’de Russo,” published in the
Paris Journal dts Dlbals in 1838 and 1839,
and collected, tn an octavo volume, in 1840.
In tho newspaper, they excited much atten
tion, from their candor, their spirit, their
minuteness, without tediousness of detail, aud
their great accuracy. The principal subjects
here discussed may bo briefly summed np:—•
Rnissan journalism in -1838 ; military educa
tion; Russian fisheries; coup-d’osil of litera
ture in 1838; works of the Academy of Sci
ences of St., Petersburg;' Siberian exile; sci
entific explorations set tin Toot by tho Impe
rial Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburg;

volumes, {Containing ■ nearly three thousand
pages, Is' ontiUed “Voyage dans la Russio

declared, in the title-page, to havo been per-

Bucharest 1 ; through WaUachia, Moldavia and
Bessarabia; Odessa, and aorossthe BlaokSea,
to tbo Crimea, to all the places since rendered
so familiar by tho subsequent war; a rest at
Constantinople, and Smyrna, and Malta, and
finishing with quarantine at Marseilles. Tho
tour is related with much spirit, and not only
tbo countries travorsod, but their inhabitants,
manners, customs, history, and productions,'
are very vividly? described. It is>a matter for
surprise that this volume, at least, has not
been translated. Volume II contains phre

studies in . 'natural history,, in various

We hdvo • forgotten tfie exact cost to Prince
Demidovs of this six mouths’ tour, made by
him and his friends, the little army of raeanr
who accompanied him, and subsequently devo
ted years of labor to assist him in making
these volumes so complete and valuable as
they are. The work, published by tho, Prince
without regard to exponso, is of standard au
thority wherever known, and has a cosmopo
litan reputation.
Our readers)? oyon from this hasty Bkctcb,
may be able to docldo whether a man whoso
life-long pursuits have been of tho highest in
tellectual order; who has dovoted his time and
much of bis largo fortuno to tho advancement
of knowledge; who treats blsnumerons Amer
ican iriends as if they wore near and dear re
latives ; and who acted with such noble and
humane generosity iu pensioning poor Den
nis, tho mutilated American scamon, can bo
the infamous charactor which tho Paris cor
respondent described him to bo. Tho Verdict
may confidently bo left to tho good souso aud
liberal feeling of the world. But, if such mon
bo slandered, who may hope to escape ?

To the Editor of The Tress :
Dear Colonel : In accordance with my pro*
mbe, I herewith flood you a abort account of mat
ters and things in Utah.
lam on duty forty miles from the memorable
City of Saints, at what Is oalled Camp Floyd.
The troops are resting on their arms. The Mor
mons are quiet and uncommunicative, meditating,
it is sold, flomo ultimate notion. Meantime, some
two hundred of them hare loft for tho States,
while as many moro have tried to do tho same,
bat failed for want of means. Several thousands
evidently design to leave next summer; still many
will remain, and thoir views and intentions,
though studiously conocalod from ns, are olosoly
welched. This is truly a strange people. There
are'about2s.ooo eoulsln the Territory, comprising
nearlyas follows: 4,000 Americans, 5,000 Danes,
6,000 Scotch and tVolsb, and 10,000 English. * All
of the loaders and offlce-holdors are Americans /
Th 6 gjeater portion of the masses are ignorant,
deluded, fanatioal, and well-meaning, but follow
their -londors. Tho leaders are vory shrewd.
Tbo Moriqon Church (the only ohurch in existence
here,' bccftaco the only one allowed) owns nine*
tenths of tho Territory. The church owns mills,
houses, lota, lands, roads, bridges—in fact every
thing, white the twenty-five leaders and bishops
owA'tbe church ! Brigham Young lives in a pa
lace, surpassing in magnificence anything you
,o{tu imigino, - Ills stable, built of stone and
brlok, would- be A palace lot hie to livfi in.
His horses would mount a dragoon company
finely, and Ills gardens and yards surpass any
thing jn our Eastern States. His wholo establish
ment, occupying some two acres, la enolpsed with
a massive stone wall, twelve feet high, with para
pets and embrasures, all made with appliances for
defence. He seldom or ever comes out—lately
not at all. He treats the true Amerloans, tho
army, and tbo hardy ox-drivers who have crossed
the Plains, with utter contempt, securing through
his secret agents a history of all that Is going on
In our midst.
This Territory ought to be absorbed by those
that surround it, and the laws administered by
honest people. If this were done, the laboring,
honest masses would remain, see their folly, re
peat It, and beeomo good citizens, whilst the
leadors would leave for parts unknown. The
“ Chnroh charter” ought to be repealed at once,
affil finally a oapablo and efficient Governor ought
to be sent hero to govern the Territory, if it is to
continue one. Until some of these changes are
made, and a radical change effected in tho minds,
the temper, and tho habits of this pooplo, it Is idle
to think of withdrawing the troops from this
plaoe. Heretofore tho few cnees of excitement In
our oountry, requiring tho presence of the
military, hnvo been of but short duration. It
la not so here. This js a long-planned, sys
tematic plot, ramifying its ageaoles through
A largo portion of . the woild, under co
ver or religious truth , yet so managed os to
draw into its maohlnory all enemies to republi
can government for the Bpoils and personal ad
vancement.' The intelligent portion of the army
here are disgusted with the habits and oustoms
observed hero. Those who suppose that even the
first,step towards a‘ settlement of difficulties has
been .taken aro vastly deceived. The first step
would have- been taken had - General Johnston
m&TChed into the City of the Saints lost spring.
Hut that .was prevented by Governor Gumming,
Mr. Kane, 1 ana the Peace Commissioners. Thojy
have postponed tho play, or rathor tragedy, but it
will yet he onacted. We, not the Mormons, are
Buffering by the delay, for they have surrounded
us by all the insidious appliances oaloulated to
weaken us, and they may got tired of having us
near thorn. A few copies of The Press strayed
into our camp by the last mail, and you would
have been pleased to have soon a knot of Penn
sylvania boys surrounding each paper and listen
ing with eager attention, ns ono of their numbor

The Case of- the : Wanderer—A Visit to
the Celebrated Yacht.
[Correipondenotf of The Press.]
*: * ■ BavANMAb, Jan. 3,1859.
' The prooeedingsin this oase, as before the \J, 6.
Commissioner, wore brought an unexpected
close this morning, ooansel on both sides agreeing
that sufficient testimony had been produoed to
warrant the oase-being sent to the Grand Jury,
and that 1 the prisoners should be held for trial.
They are three seamen,' supposed' to'be a part of
the crew of the “-Wanderer,” and are charged
with being engaged in the slave trade, which by
law is deolared to be piracy, and' the penalty
death. That this vessel was in the Congo river, :
in Afrloa, in October last, is known. • That abo
unded a large number of African negroes on the
sooth end of JekylSsland, in this State, About the
end of November last, is‘also known. So far all
'was successful,'but'since tho landing it has been
all trouble for those engaged in this bold attempt*
to reopen praotically tho sl&ve trade. The Afri
cans safely landed, their caution appears to have
deserted them, and their movements were marked
by an Appearance of confident Security. The
“Wanderer,instead of going off, remained in the
immediate neighborhood, and a steamer was en
gaged in this oity tettransport the Afrioana to our
river, and past our very doors. The following la
the testimony of the ’ oaptaiu of thef steamer, be

the landing: he was lffnded this side, at a planta
tion belonging to 'a gehtlem&n with a French
namo, about seven or eight miles above the oity;
Captain Taoker and the. prisoner (Brown) wore
landed, with the negroes; there were no other
white persons on hoard besides witness and those
already named; there was no other steamer at
Jekylfsland, that he saw or heard of; does not
know of the transportation of any other negroes
from the Island about, that time; did not know
that any wore taken up r Satilla.
It will be observed that* thirst removal took
place on December 2d, afow days after the landing
on'Jekyl island from the “Wanderer,” and that
the captain speaks of the number of Afrioans as
about*3oo. A second removal of apart was made
on Deo. 12th or 13th, to.,* .point higher up. the

of stoambo&t Augusta, belonging to the Iron Steam’ I

carded up a number ef negroes, about 1?0. They I
weye taken on board from tne Carolina shore, about l
fiftoeuor sixteen, miles abovo-Bevannsh. was or
dered to go for them by tbo agent. He did not
tell me where X would find them, nor where I
should stop. Saw a gang of negroes on the shore,
whloh induced me to stop; in going up was hailed
by some white persons about six miles from here,
and sent a small boafc.for them and brought them
on board. The negroes, when seen, wcro n oharge
of a white man who dame aboard* with, them;
The negroes remained in oharge of a white man
on board, who attended to them and fed them.
They were all landed, except one boy 3 about two
miles below AugUßta, on the Carolina side; it was
at a wood yard about balf a mile below Horse
creek. The boy who remained on board was sent
to witness's house; did not puVhlm ono xhibltion,
but a great many peopleroamo to* see him out of
curiosity, witness supposed, beeause it was thought
he was an African; witness believed him to be an,
Afrioan. So many people, came to see him that
witness setft for the ono who loft him in oharge, to
take him away, which was done. The boy was one- 1
of tbo same lot oarriod up the river; all of-them
were similar in appearance; did not hear them'
speak English, though heard them talking often.
Little more than this Is known of the present
Situation of tbo negroes; the greater number are
doubtless out of the limits of this State, perhaps in
South Carolina. A few aro believed to remain on
Jekyl Island, as the owners, Messrs. Daßignon,
are said to have recolved a number for the privi
lege of landing the cargo on the!* island. Two of
them Were recently arrested while passing through
Macon, in charge of the Express Company, on
their way to Southwestern Georgia. Those are
now In jail for safe keeping in tbiß oity. Some aro
known to have died since landing. There la still
nmoh mystery involved in this dark transaction,
which may or may not bo cleared 1 up on the trial.
The number imported is hot ascertained —not loss
than three hundred— some persons think over four
hundrod. • Thoro were no females among them,
.and, as usual, they wore all young, from 15 to 20
years. ,
The Wandorer was seized and detained by the
collector of tho port of Brunswick, and the reve
nue cuttor J. 0. Bobbin pas sentto bringhor to
tbff plaoo. The two vessels now He near eaoh
othor in the stroam, opposite to our city. The
I “ gallant” Captain Corrie and his orew had de
serted their vessel, and when taken In charge by
tbo cutter, tboro was no one on board- The three
seamen, who are In custody as part of the crew,
were arrested In Savannah; the rest, including
the “gallant” oaptalr, havo escaped. This af
ternoon, by the courtesy of theeffloers of the J. C.
Bobbin, I was enabled to visit this now too famous
craft, tho Wandorer. She is a perfeot model. A
schooner of two hundred and, twenty-five tonß,
very sharp, tall masts, immense yards and sails,
she was built for fast sailing, and she does it. The
lieutenant of the Bobbin told me that when
they were bringing her round from Brunswick,
she sailed right away from theoutter.
The Wanderor is well known, in New York. She
once, I bolleve, belonged to ,the yooht club, and
was owned by a Colonel Johnson. Tbat gentleman
was in command of her at the regatta at Bruns
wick, G eorgla, about one yoar ago. I saw the flag
of the New York yaoht olub on board of her this
afternoon. She is fitted up as yaohts generally
arfe, vety elegantly. The cabin and the oaptaln’s
state-room are even luxurious. Mirrors, satin
wood furniture, damask and lace curtains, elegant
framed engravings, Brussels carpets, a library of
ohoice books, expensive nautical instruments —
these form the attractive features of tbo “yaoht.”
The elave deck, where human beings were paoked
« spoon fashion,” muskets, pistols, boarding-pikes,
large water-tanks, all betray the disgusting and
horrible nature of the last voyage of the“ slaver.”
.Considering the small size of this schooner,
whloh was built only for pleasure, and with no
view to the accommodation of a cargo, it seems,al
most incredible that so man/ living beings oould
have been carried In her; ana If no more than three
hundred wero imported —it Is thought there were
even a greater number—tbo olose packing must
have been horrible, and this voyage of the beauti
ful pleasure yaoht Wandereriwas ono in which
tho most oruel and ravage practices of tho slave
trade must have been resorted tp. *
The retroat of the “gallant ” Captain Corne ,
from his craft must have been rather precipitate, !
for ho loft “ all standing”—-books, papers, charts, i
and many things that will aid in the conviction of i
those concerned in this inhuman >
This first attempt to import Africans into
Georgia is the aot or a few daring, reoklcss indi
viduals. As it Is the first, so will it be tho last
attempt.. Though, apparently successful, os a re
munerative speculation it has failed. -Tho sense
of our oity, and of our whole State, condemns it-
Many of the miserable victims have .died uinco
landing, from pneumonia and pleurisy. The costs
of prosoflution will be heavy- to 1 thoso con
cerned; the loss of the vessel, wbioh will un
doubtedly bo condemned, and the many who
aro to share the proceeds of tho sales, will ab
sorb all the profits, and perhaps more besides. The
attempt will not be repeated. Maoh oredit is
due to the officers of the Government for the vigor

“ clubbable men” is on the increase All sorts of
Clubs ar6'Starting Into existence. Just now it
happens to be the favorite mania of New. York.
The last ond most promising of these organisations
is The Atkertaum,' Composed’ mainly of literary
gentlemen of New York, connected with the press,
authors, members of the bdr, add the* olergy.

About two hundred members are already enrolled!

There will be conveniences for things edible '

It is estimated that not less than ten' thousand
people, many of them ladies, were at the Central
Park on Thursday to seo. tIU skating. The main
pond is spread over an area-of sixteen acres, and
the ioe, was In admirable order. ’. Among* the
skaters were several ladies, who oaverted about
with most bowifohing grace. A strong police force
is kept to preserve order, and the authorities of
the Park are making it as attractive to the people
as it is in their power to do.
A bill is soon to be introduced into tho Legisla

monument in the oity of New York, in.xnemory.of

Robert L. .Decein, - Francis L. Hawks, Sidney
Kopman, Thomas' S. Somner, John H. .White,
Marshall LefFerts, John W. Frauois, Thos. Hicks,
Samuel C. Thompson,.and George P. Andrews. As
this movement has largely interested the sympa

doubt is entertained that the efforts already made;
and to be made, will result in one of the most im

covery of a great political mare’s nest at 'Albany,

faithful followers of three or four of those first

Letter from Mr. James B»'Sheridan* of
Philadelphia.
Janrart 14, 1659.*
Tci tub Editor w tre Washington States;
In a communication pi tho 12th instant, ad
dressed to the editors of the Union, by the
Honi John Slidell, he .publishes my name as
the person referred to by him in his oomnraui
cation of tho 18th of Dccembor, in whioh he says:
“ Mr. Douglas has, by authorizing and counts*
nancing attacks upon me, through a person offi
ciating ab his private secretary, lost all claim to
the explanation whioh I would otherwise have
promptly volunteered to give him.” •
When the communication of the 18th ot Da-,
comber was published, .in the absence of Mr.
Douglas, my first impulse was to give the above
p&Tagraph a prompt denial, under the impression
that I was the person alluded to; but upon reflec
tion, t I discovered that I had no right to assume
that Mr. Slidell referred to me, for tho reason
that be only spoke of “anonymous attacks,” and
I Had never written any communication in whioh
the name of , Mr. 11 Slidell was referred to without
accompanying it with my own nemo in fall. Mr*
SUdell admits, in Ms communication of the 12th,
that my name accompanied the letter to whioh he
referred as having been' directed, to agentleman
conneoted with the press in'New Orleans. That
letter was written by myself, on my own responsi
bility.
It was never seen by Judge Douglas, nor was its
contents made knthfn to him. i n P'
der the following circumstances, which, I think,
were sufficient to justify all that I said: During
the campaign in Illinois, I accompanied Judge
Douglas, as did also another gontlem&n, for the
purpose of reporting the debates and correspond
ing with tho newspaper press. Some two or three
weeks previous to the election, I left him, and
returned to Chioago, where I found the following
rumors bearing on this oase in circulation, ana
generally believed. That Dr. Brainard (who, as
i learnod, during the whole of last winter had
been the violent opponent of tho Preeident’s Kan
' sas polioy, and a member of the State Convention
ef fcne!2lst of April, whioh nominated the regular
Democratic ticket for State offloers, and endorsed
the oodrso of Judge Bonglaa and his colleagues in
the House of Bspreeentativcs on the Lwompton
question) had vlsltod Washington or Hew Pork in
too month of Juno, and when ho returned had be
come the bitter enemy of Judg* Douglas, and the
enthaslastio supporter of the Administration.
That' he bad circulated a report on bis return,
that in ; New York he had had an interview with
Senator Slidell, and had learned from him that
the President and his Cabinet were determined to
oarry their warfare against Judge Douglas and
the Domooratio ticket in Iliinoie to thobittor ond,
And secure tholr defeat at all lijiuds) that he
(Dr. Brainard) waa to bo appointed superintend
ent of the marine hospitel In Chioago in tho plaoe
of Dr. MoVioker, who waa to be removed; and'
that Mi Slidell was to make a visit to Chioago
dnringjthe summer, to advise upon the.plan of
campaign against the Democracy of Illinois. I
learned also that Dr. Brainard had been appointed.
superintendent of the merine hospital, and that Mr.
Bltdell had made a visit to Chioago, and had spent
several days in olosa communication with the Fe
deral offioe-holdera,.who were anting in oonoMt
with thb Abolitionists to defeat the Domooi-aßc
party, thus verifying what Dr. Brainard had re
ported was to take piaoe-
Immediately after Mr. Slidell left Chioago, the
story was pnt in circulation that the slaves belong
ing to the children oi Judge Douglas in Miss'S
sippl were treated iu a bafbaroua and shameful
manner; and I was informed that this slander
emanated from Dr. Brainard, who had stated that
he had received it from Mr. Slidell’* own lips, and
tbat tho Senator remarked at the time that no lelt
preat delio&oy in making the statement, because
Uie gentlemen in whose possession th« slaves had
been left was his own personal and political friend.
I loomed further that Dr. Brainard had gweto
the editors of the Press and Tribune , an Aboli
tion paper published in Chicago, and had given
them this same story, with the name of Mr. SlldelL
as its'author; and I saw published in-that paper
the story with the distinct statement that the
-editors had the authority of the Hon. John Slidell
for the facts. Under these circumstances, X could
not doubt,-nor did any of our friehds doubt, that
Mr. Slldeil hid given ourrenoy to this slander; be
cause he was the only man who had visited Gbi
cago, of whom we bail any knowledge, who oonld
pretend (o a personal knowledge of the matter.
Certain it Is that his name stood until after the
elootion uncontradioted as the a M“? r ,v , 3

Losses in tub Whale Tbade.—lt is esti
mated that the fleet of whale ships to arrive at
New Bedford this year will result in a loss to their

dollars. This enormous loss is attributed to va
