DlOnnis ISLAND, Dec. 27, 1863.
rizAr. • Things have happily changed
since I wrote last; we are treated now like soldiers,
almost, it rot quite, on an equality with the white
troops. We nave only one fatigue detail, and that
an easy one; ard, we !hare the grand guard duties
with Inc other troops. The men are happier and
the officers better pleased, though their work is in
'teased by the new order of things. We have time
now to drill, and men enough are left in camp for us
to drill. We have company drills once a day, always
in the mornings, and company or batadion drills in
the suet DODDS.
It is astonishing to me how quickly the men are
learning they are very apt scholars indeed, and
our regiment will soon be as Well drilled as any in
this department, if we are allowed to have time for
the teaching and to practise the officers, a thing as
necessary as drilling the men. Oh, we shall have
justice done us, in time; and you will And, too, that
the colored troops are worth doing justice to, and
ought to be treated with great favor. The colored
man makes a good eoloier ; he is cheerful, obedient,
and watchful when on duty. I have never seen a
colored sentry asleep on his post yet ; we hear that
complained of often in white troops. *
I see Air. Stanton advocates paying them the same
as white soldiers, and I hope Congress will soon
follow his suggestions. The company was inspected
this morning by the major, and went through drill.

Lieut. 3d U. S. Colored Troops.
Mr. Conway's Speech in England.
The Leicestershire Identity gives a report of a
crowded meeting held on Tuesday evening, Decem
ber 15, in the New Hall, Wellington street, convened
by the Leiceeier Emancipation Society, for the pur
pose of hearing the recent lectures by Mr. J. Ir.
Smith analyzed by a gentleman announced as the
" Son of a Southern Planter," but who proved to
be one who had pievieusly made an acquaintance
with the L. lathier public, Mr. M. D. Conway.
Mr. Conway said : The question of slavery was
the principal question with which they had to do ;
and that forsooth was the avowed question with
which both South and North ware deeply interested.
There was one thing that had strangely puzzled him,
- that while the opponents of the Northerners were
in favor of emancipation. and decidedly opposed to
slavery, that they blackballed must inconsiderately
and liberally the emancipationists who were tee
stern advocates of abolition. The Emancipation
Society was not in the broadest sense a political so
ciety, for it numbered among its enrolled members
men of all shaces of political opinions. The society,
comparatively regadaless 01 the polities involved in
the hostilities with America, had for Ira great
aired avowed end the abolition of slavery.
And who could be oPposed- to that?--Their
avowed .beet was the promotion by every
legitimate means of the aoolition of slavery,
The South bail rebelled because they were spell
bound by the terrible delusion that slavery was
right, that it was cti iiee, and The right state of so
ciety. The Richmond Examiner, in an article writ
ten oy his first cousin, said, " We nave got to hating
everything with the prefix free, from Iree negroes
down andup thiough the whole catalogue of abomi
nations; Site Unlike, /the labor, free negroes, free au
ciety. he., all belonging to the same buoy of damns
ble lame where mother is sin, anti whose dad is 'the
devil." "But," continued his gentle cousin, ""the
worst of all three a bonnuations, because when once
instituted it beeemes the hot le d propagator of all,
is the modem elate= of free sthOols.' [applause ]
They had get to decide between two countries, the
President eof one toiled up with his own light
arm splitting ralle—[loud applause]—and was not
ashamed of ft; and the other walla sultana gentle ere

asleep, aid when he waken up to tremble at me w ord.
Me smith ...reed where was the inner/ince between
the rebellion of the colonies against Great Britain
and the pietent secuseion. Tree Devolution in one
case was for a good cause, and in the other for a bad
cause. [Appleuse.] Revolution was nut always
respectable or light. Ii the Americans had fought
against George M. to establish a nation of piretci,
they would not have had the reaper , of any nation ;
but they fought because they believed they were op.
pressed and wronged. Then Mr. Smith had asked
what good had the war done? He would tell them.
It hem emancipated practically and set free 1,0b0,000
of slaves,sb.tbb el whom were now. United States
soldiers, reeling arms for therliberty of their bro.
Viers. When lie could tell them there were no more
slaves to be liberated then they would listen to argu
ments about stopping The war. But as long es they
found. that it was otherwise, and that everyday
their Men were liberating white and Mack teem the
great curse and wrong, it was idle to talk about the
war not doing good. They knew it was; they saw
the fruits 01 it every day. Then he declared that the
South could never be conquered. Well, they Were
not the that people that ever said that. The people
at Memphis swore loucaz than any other, the people
at Nashville louder still, Vicksburg invented the
phrase of eying in the last ditch, at New Orleans
they said they would turn every house to ashes be
fore it should be taken, at Knosviele racy declared
every man, woman, and child should be dead before
they would surrender. In every one of those towns
where they cleaned they would die, they were
living very quietly at present; every one of those
towns lieu surrendered. If they would bring any
good reason why Charleston and Richmond should
not follow suit: then they could listen to, but they
all avowed that they would not be conquered, and
they were conquered. It was very easy, too, to hold
Them when they were conquered, and did not require
large garrisons. Their slaves were taken away, and
they aid not feel any interest 3n the war after that.
In all these States they were forming large organ T.
rations for their return as Dee States to the Union.
. .
lie had tried the South and the North, and fur
twenty years or his life he was placed in close oo
servation of slavery, and unless a man was prevert
ed by glowing up among those evils, they were
enough to freeze the blood in any heart. He had
seen a men tearing down the dresses of tenter wo
men, and lashing Them till they were mutilated. If
they wanted to know about Geraeral Butler, he
found one men who lashed a negro girl and imbued
brine Into her hack, and he took that girl and set
her free and fish her tenderly treated, and took the
man and had bin, cast into prison. And it was
nest day that the first outcry anout Butler was
heard. He Dad seen these things and knew them,
and though every friend and relative he had upon
earth was a Southerner, what he saw was enough
to turn his heart against the whole system. He
went to the North, and there he found men laboring
for the freeman of tbe slave even when they thought
it would divide their country. They would rather
the country were broken into fragments than this
frightful wrong against the slave should go on.
The Cruise of the Alabama.
" The Cruise of the Alabama, from her departure
from Liverpool to arrival at Cape Good Hope, by
an Officer on Board," is published in the English pa
pens, and is, a course, a narrative
of much interest.
On the engagement with the U. S. gunboat Hatteras,
we have the following:
The conduct of our men wag truly commendable.
No flurry, no noise—all calm and determined. Tim
coolness displayed by them could not be surpassed
by any old veterans—our chief boatswain's mate ap
parently in his glory. " Sponge "—" Load with
cartridge”—" il bcii, rive seconds! "—" Run out"—
" Well, down compressor "—" Left, traverse "
"Well,' "rearly," "fire." "That's into you."
-'Damn you. that kills your pig." "That stops
your wind," &c., was uttered as each shot was heard
to strike with a crash that nearly deafened you, the
other boatswain's mate equally enjoying the affair,
As he got biz gun to bear upon the enemy, he would
- take aim, and bang-in would plug her, he exclaim
ing, as each shot told, " That's from the scam of
England," "That's a British pill for you to
swallow;" the New York . papers having once
stated that cur men were the "scum of England."
All the other guns were served with equal precision.
We were struck seven times, only one man being
hurt during the engagement, and he receiving only
a alight flesh wound In the cheek.
One shot struck under the counter, penetrating Ise
tar as a Hmt.er, then glancing otr; a second struck
the funnel ; a third going through the aide, across
the berth-deck and into the opposite side ; etnntlizr
raising the deuce in the lamp rooms ; the others
lodging in the coal bunkers. Taking a ahell up, and
examining it, we found it filled with sand instead of
powder. The enemy's fire was directed chiefly
toward our el ern, the shots flying pretty thick over
the quarter-deck, near to where our captain wes
standing. Az they came whizzing over him, ha,
with his usual coolness, would exclaim: "Give it
to the rascals "aim low, men;" "don't be all
night sinking that fellow • " when, for all or any
we knew, she might havii been an iron-clad or
a Commander Blake surrendering his sword, he
said that "it was with deep regret he did it." Captain
Semmee smacked his lips, and invited him down in
his cabin. On Blake giving his rank to Captain
.Senunes, he gave up his state-room for Slake's
special use, the rest of the officer's being accomm °-
dated according to their rank, in the Wardroom
.and steerages—all having previously been parolei,
the crew being placed on the berth-deck, our men
.sleeping anywhere, so that the prisoners might take
.their places.
*ounce similar to that committed by the nein
.rious Palmer is the subject of judicial investigation
in Par/a. A physician insured the life of his wife
for 500,000 f. (.£20,060), and shortly after the payment
.of the tint premium the young woman died. The
Rudder:lusts of the death, and the large amount for
which the life was insured, created suspicions in the
minds of the directors of the insurance company,
and they determined to make the case known to the
highest law authority. An investigation was cont.
IlifilOf.d under the direction Of the Imperial Attorney
4 - reneral; in consequence of which the physician was
_sweated and committed to the prison of Mmes.

UNITED STATES BOUNTY. Bounties
ceased yesterday, but will probably be renewed by
the powers that be at Washington, as President
Lincoln has sent in a special message to Oongresson
tine subject. A lieutenant, taking advantage of
statements that the bounty would cease, obtained a
first class notice in several papers yesterday, gratui
tously by an ingenious card, in which he says that
be wil l continue to pay, even after the draft com
mences, $4OO to all men, whether veterans or not,
if they, loin his regiment. It is quite probable that
any officer of the regular army will do the same
thing. An evening paper yesterday was misled by
the publication of the card alluded to, and taker
occasion to insinuate that a morning contemporary
was in error in stating that the Government bounty
bad ceased. The morning contemporary war exact
ly right, and the evening paper had its optics closed
by a very ingeniously written card.

Wefore Mr. Alderman Battler.]
Alleged Larceny.
A young man, named Bohman, had a final hearing,
yesterday, at the Central Station, on the charge of
the larceny of $70.25, the propertiof a Mrs. Burgin
ger, who resides on Essex street. According to the
evidence, the prosecutrix formerly kept a saloon at
Newark, N. J., and finally abandoned it, and came
to Philadelphia. Her earnings amountedeo less
than two hundred dollars, which she deposited in
the Philadelphia Saving Fund, but withdrew the
deposits several weeks since.
On the 26th of December, while in the cars on the
way from Newark to Philadelphia. two men took
seats behind her and commenced talking about the
immense amounts of money settlers were making in
the army, and What chances were offered to women
to keep a little shop near the army. This conversa
tion was loud enough for the prosecutrix to over
hear, and she became somewhat interested in it, and
said that ahe was doing nothing and would like to
alert a little place somewhere near the army. The
conversation was kept up until reaching the Ken
sington depot. The two men offered to take her
home, and provided a carriage for the purpoae.
The party entered the vehicle, and off they were
driven to the house of the prosecutrix, in Essex
street. The men remained at the house a little
while, and departed, one of them, the prisoner,
leaving behind him a carpetbag, which he called for
on Monday evening, the 28th of December.
Upon entering the house to get his carpetbag he
commenced some conversation about a hook that
was on the table, and while her attention was thua
attracted she felt her dress jerk, but did not pay any
particular attention to it. The prisoner goon after
left the house. The prosecutrix says that she had
$7O 25 in her pocket-book when he came in, and a
fele minutes after he had gone out she missed it.
This is about the gist of the evidence adduced. The
. prosecutrix was subjected to a severe cross exami
nation, and, from the questions propounded, the de
fence certainly shadowed forth an attempt to break
down her character. So far as the preliminary ex
amination is concerned, the attempt failed moat sig
nally. The accused stoutly denied the charge as
preferred against him. He was held to bail, in the
sum of $5OO, to answer at court.
Aaseerit and Battery.
- -
H. Gaston D'Bauring, a French shoemaker, was
arrested yesterday by Olt - leer Findiey on a warrant
issued upon the oath of Thomas Pfrommer, aged 16
years, charging the defendant with assault and bat
tery. The lad lives on Fitzwater street, and is em
ployed by Peter Conrad, who lives on South Eighth
street. On Wednesday, last, Mr. Conrad sent the
lad with a peat of boots to the defendant, for the
purpose of having them mended. After the boy had
entered the room, he Bays the defendant looked the
door, caught him bythe hair, and rubbed him as
though he was a " champooing " him- Tha boy WM
frightened almost to death, and finally the French
man let him go out of the room,promising that the
boots should he done the next ay- The boy went
after the boots, when he was served in the same man
ner as on the day before, with the attempted addi
tion of a crime that brought destruction to the " ci
ties of the plain."
The defendant, at the hearing, made nO replies to
any interrogatories, excepting that he did not un
derstand English. He Was required to enter bail is
the sum of $7OO to answer.
Masai Hearing_
Joseph C. Keepers, the name given by a young
man charged with the larceny Of *pocket book, con
taining $ll6 or $llB, the property of Mr. Ethridge
Putnam, a boarder at the house of Mrs. Griffiths,
1004 Chestnut street, came up for a final hearing,
yesterday afternoon, at the Central Station.
Elizabeth Brown, a colored girl, was examined as
a witness. She testified that she saw defendant in
Mr. Putnam's room on two occasions—one time he
was seated on a rocking chair reading a book, at
brother time he came into the room while she was
making the bed. He then wired for a book ; but
witness not being able to read, could not tell him
anything about it.
Mr. Levy, detective emcee, was again called to the
stand. lie said he found $2O on the person of the
prisoner, and also a bunch of keys ; , tried the keys
on the trunk of Mr. Putnam, but-found none to open
the lock.
Mr. Charles Brooks, cennsel for defence, made a
strong argument, and endeavored to show there was
no evidence to fasten conviction, on his client; but
there mete some circumstances suggestive of his in
nccence ; besides this, be has hitherto borne a good
character.
The Alderman said he was not satisfied as to the
ease ; and yet, from the misstatements made at dif
ent times to several parties, by defendant, he was
inclined to be in doubt. He did not desire to do any.
thing to cast reproach upon the character of defend
ant, if he is really innocent, and would, therefore,
ho!d the case under advisement until Friday.
The defendant said hie father would be in -Phila
delphia on Friday. The case was postponed Until
that day. The defendant was committed.
Robbery of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Charles Carpenter and Charles White were to
have had a final hearing at the Central Station,
yesterday' afternoon, on the charge of being impli
cated in the robbery of $7,000 in Pennsylvania Rail
road bonds. stolen from the private vault of the
Railroad office, corner of Third street and Willing's
alley. The bonds were all recovered by Messrs. G.
Smith and Taggert, but the actual thief was not
produced, although it was thought he would be.
The case being called up, Carpenter answered to
hie name. Be wee committed 1.33 defkOlt Of $3,000
bail, to answer at court. White, the other defend
ant, was present at 2 o'clock, the time fixed for the
hearing, but when the ease was called he was non
Pg. His bail was therefore forfeited. The Railroad
Company, it is understood, loses nothing by the
robbery.

been sustained by false representations. It seems
that plaintiffhad insured in the Philadelphia Fire and
Life Insurance Company, on certain machinery and
stock, to the amount of $2,000, which in August,
1860, was destroyed by fire. Plaintiff, thereupon, as
was alleged, placed his policy in the hands of de
fendant, who seemed, from the testimony, to have
some connection-with the Insurance Company, for
collection. The allegation was that after he had
had the policy in his hands for a few days, the -de
fendant represented to plaintiff that the amount of
the policy had been attached, and that the probabi
lity was that no portion of it would be paid to him.
Under these circumstance's the plaintiff averred that
he was Induced to accept, in full payment of his
insurance, the sum of $875, whereas the company
really paid to the defendant $l,OOO. After hearing
the testimony for plaintiff, the court directed a non,-

my; an enemy who fights honorably and fairly (though
he fails) is entitled to both sympathy and respect; bat
se hen he runs and then charges his antagonist falsely,
be can baldly be entitled to either.
But "to err is human," and the enemy's mood when
hecpenned the article was evidently sullen. and although
he is pettish. and, like the weaker boy in the quarrel,
twins round and looks daggers, and makes up all man
ner of wry faces at nis opponent and the • 'rest of man
kinds," I am quite disposed to overlook, forget. and for
give—to offer the band of charity. and to treat him like
the "Prodigal Sou." if he will return and sin no more,
I next pese,to a abort review of the prominentpoints in
this correspondence, that it may be more fully nnder
steed
The attack was first made by a notice to merchants
and benkers that LaLik's SAFES could bs drilled, were
not drill proof or fire-proof, referring to the Great Fire
at Troy to show it.
I answered this attack first, by challenging the attack
ing party to a test with the drill; also. to test the
BURGLAR-PP-00F (tEritLITIM OF LOLLIES" SAFE
With theirs, giringthem one-third advantage- and With
the drill onc-haq advantage; and to all these offers I
hive had NO RES - PON,E, except the lire toss.
As to this test, they first propose to take a safe in their
pateeEeton that they allege had teen in oar tire. with
the general terms for burning, all which I acceded to,
except that I would select a safe of similar size to the
me they selected, and that neither party should have
pessession.of either safe before the burning, to drug it,
or fit it up for the occasion.
To this p;oposition my. Opponents DECLINE, and
LEAVE 'ME FIELD!
To all the charges and ailegattons I have made. as to
the robberies and burning of their safes, they have not
eithcr denied or dieproved them, therefore they stand
admitt.cd.
Totsll the charges and allegations they have made as
to the failures of Lillie's Safe, I have, as I think : an
swered fairly and truthfully.
With these remarks, I close this correspondence. con

position of each party, and the relative value of their

Forth.
I shall go down the. Mississippi at once to make the
necessary arrangements for leasing plantations and pro

Information as to terms. Arc., will be.published as soon
as pee sitile. In the mean time, persons desirous of leas
ing plantations for the coming year, may feel assured
that every effort will be made to insure protection to
those working such lands, and to allow profits commen
surate tot) e enterpriee.
Persons with small means disposed to devote their
pet's, nal labor, with those employed by them, will be
particularly encouraged.
It is estimated by those who have examined the tab
islet, that the capital required for working one hundred
acres will be about ease° and the net profits about
$lO,OlO, at present prices of the staples.
Agricultural implements and all other articles used ig
cultivating the plantations, must be furnished by the
