take great pleasure in answering your kind
letter received last night. pray God that
my letter may find yoU in a better state of
consolation than when you wrote to me. I
told you" that you would,have, trials and diffi
culties to endure. Do not mind them, for they

enemies will soon be glad to gain your friend

Ito not let them rum you'away, for then they
will say the " nigger" won't do. Shoty your
spunk, and let them see that you will
tight. That is what you are sent to West
Point for. When they find you are "deter
mined to stay they wilt let you alone. You
must not resigi, on any account, for it is' just
what the Democrats want. They are betting
largely here that you won't get in. The rebels .
say if you are admitted they will devil you so
much that you can't stay. Be a man; don't
think of leaving, and let me know all about
your troubles. The papers say you have not
been received. Do write me positively
Wnether you are received or not.
Times are lively here, for everybody is pre

I append another letter from Cadet Smith's
benefactor, David Clark, of Hartford :
"Ely Fortune, or My Life."
HARTFORD, July 1, 1870.—My Dear Joamie :
By a letter in the Sint it appears the cadets are
very abusive_and insulting to you. Although
it is almost too much for .human nature to
bear, but Ipray that you will summon forti
tude; sufficient to endure it, as our Saviour
did. " When . reviled, He
;`rdemberirng the beatitude, " Blessed are they
who are persecuted for righteousness'. , sake;
for great is their reward in Heaven." , :But'
if any personal"assault is :offered ,- you,,
defend yourself.. as best you' , with
anything that you can , command. The as
saulter shall not go free of punishment if
have to do it, though it costs me my entire
estate, or even my life.. But -hopo nothing
of this , character 'will happen: „ ;When the.v3
students come to see your scholarship, your
great advancement over them, and they find
themselves distanced ” in" education; then,-in
stead of the cry of ,!.‘..negfir negar!" it
would be " Mr. Smith," or lilkir:-,Tiiines , Sinith
'
was first in his class • both for scholarship and
conduct." So be of. good . cheer. . Let the
jades wince ; time will show who wins
the race. .•- - . • •
We are all in most excellent health, and join
me in kindest remembrance to you; also
deeply sympathize with you in this hour of
sore trial, as do all your schoolmates, and, in
deed, this entire community. Our papers are
copying from others what is fiaid upon= the
subject, and Mr. Capron, the •principal of the
High School, • will publish an. article in the
Courant to-morrow highly creditable to you.
Put your trust in God, pray to Him, do justly,
and all will - be well.

"Master liatniibrey's Clock"--Where
this Title was Found—Mr. Dickens's
Fortune.,
The following appears in the London Daily
News, July 2:
To the Editor of the Daily New—STR: 111
1864, in the course of a tour, I arrived at the
town of Barnard Castle, In the county of
Durham, late on a winter evening, and put
up at the principal hotel, a large, old-fashioned
structure, fronting the principal street. At
breakfast the following morning I chanced to
notice on the opposite side of the street a large
clock-face,with the pame Humphrey surround
ingit; mast- conspicuously - exhibited - i n-,front
of a• watch and clock-maker's shop. "How
odd," I exclaimed to a gentleman seated be ,
side me, "_here is >taster Hritnidirey's clock!" •
"Of course," said lie' gentlenian, " and don't
you know that Diiokens resided' here for some
weeks when he was collecting materials for
his NiebolaS .141clileby,' and:that he otiose; his
, title for_his next work by obServing that -big
% clock-face from this window?" After break-,
fast, I stepped across to the watchmaker a nd
kedhim whether I had been
,correct]y in
ormed respecting Mr, Dickens andthe eldek.s
The worthy horologist' entered into portico.-
' Jars: "My clock," said he, «suggested to Mr.
'Dickens the title of his book -of
that name. I have a letter from
-him stating _ this, and a- copy- of -the
work, inscribed with his own hand. For some
veers we corresponded. I'got acquainted with
him just by his corning across from the hotel,
' as you have done this morning, and his asking
me to inform him about the state of the neigh
boring boarding-schools. Mr.llninphrey then
- entered into- many-particulars-respecting-the
condition of these schools. Incidentally, he
said, be bad directed Mr, Dickens and his
friend "Phiz" to the school which the two
travelers afterward rendered infamous by their
pen and pencil; nut - it was, he said, by no
'means the worst of those institutions. The
schoolmaster had been very successful in ob
taining pupils, and had become very tyran
nical, and even insolent, to strangers. He
received Mr. Dickens and his companion with
extreme hauteur, and did not so much as
withdraw his eyes from the operation of pen
making during their interview. But " Phiz"
-,lcetched him on his nail and reproduced him
so exactly, that soon after the appearance of
the novel the school fell oft, and-was ultimately
deserted.- Since that period the " Do-the-
Boys" - description of school had altogether
ceased in the district- Mr. Humphrey _ex_-_
plained how Mr. Dickens's attention bad been
called to the subject. He much lauded Mr.
Dickens, and in that quiet, , genial manner
eharacteristic of an intelligent Englishman.
I sincerely hope he still lives to read these
lines. I am, &c.,
CHARLES Boer:us, LL.D. -

1 lie ample provision, says the London Spec
',nor, which Charles Dickens made for his
family, consists of some .C 43,000, invested in
public seturities; half the value of the copy--

at £20,000 ; his modest house at Gad's Hill, to
gether with its contents : and the interest in
All the Roui,d, bequeathed to his eldest

attainment of wealth a first object
•
THE AMBITION OF FBANEJE.
• A g,etteration figoVictor Hugo wrote a book
. on the Rhine, in which, besulcz - giving-the
most fascinating and poetic of all descriptions
of that famous stream, he cried out, '• France,
:•takelgtek-the Rhine-; 2 ' as be stood at the tomb
of Hoche, who was buried on the shore+of
that....river,. and whose grave is to this day
pointed out to the curious tourist.
Napoleon, the bitter enemy of Hugo, has
tried on several occasions to make of this cry
a national slogan to call to his support all
parties in France. The Rhine is, according to
many Frenchmen, the " natural boundary"
of France. The Germans whom the Emperor
would like to make - his subjects, however, do
not - agree with him. The people of the Ger
man Rhenish provinces are German in lan
guage, tastPs and feelings, and have no admi
ration of Napoleon 111. or his policy. Bel
gium, with its French-speaking population
and with but forty years of national existence
io overturn, would be a much easier acquisi
ion for France.
( France already owns the west bank of the
Rhine frbm a few miles north of Basle in
•witzerland to the frontier of the Palatinate
at Lauterhurg. The possession of the last
named diStrict would add to the list of French
, ities Spires with its old cathedral, and the
rortded places of Landau and Neustadt, be
-ides a large number of smaller towns and
villages. In Rhenish Prussia—speaking
always of the western shore of the Rhine—the
first town of importance is Worms, associated
with the name of Luther. After passing over
the flat, highly cultivated district through
which the Rhine here sluggishly rolls
along, the towers and bridges of Mayence
lobin in sight. This is a city of strategic
and historic importance., Shortly further on
is Bingen ;' and there begins the marvelous
-.cep cry which has given to the Rhine such
world-Wide celebrity, and bas made familiar
the names of such trifling though picturesque
(airulets as Oberwesel, St. Goar,Boppart„An
tlernach, Bachai-ach, Remagen and the like.
Midway among these is Coblentz, overlooked
" Ehrenbreitstein's castled height," and
till further down the stream is the collegiate
town of Bonn.
To add all these to the long list of French
towns would certainly be a splendid gain to
France : this is what is meant when _French
men. cry with Victor Hugo, ‘! Take back the
Rhine." It is however, a large enterprise,
and not likely to succeed.--N. Y. Post.
the Late . Lord . .Clarendon—Despatch
1, front Secretary Flish—Cane.e of Death.
On hearing of Lord Clarendon's death, Mr.
Fish sent to Mr. Motley the following tele
gram : • •
WASHINGTON, June 27—The death of the
Earl of Clarendon removes a statesman whose
fame belongs to the world, and whose loss will
be felt by other nations than that in whose
behalf he labored for the advance of civiliza
tion and in the interests of peace. The Presi
,
dent tenders the sympathy of the people of
;the 'United States to Her Majesty and to the
British people, and oondolence to those to
Whom the loss brings personal grief."
The Lwicet says the immediate cause of his
Lordship's death was diarrhoea, which min
nued for several days before he was seen by
his usual attendant, Dr. Haber. His Lordship
...could not be prevailed upon to give up his offi
cial duties insomuch that when, on the even
ing of Saturday, the 25th ult., Dr. C. J. B. Wil
`limns was summoned in consultation, he was
found, though ,very:weak, still sitting up in
bed, with seyeral despatch boxes before him.
At 4 P. M.' on Sunday, the treatment hid
proVed so beneficial that Dr. Cul), mho then
joined iu consultation, entertained good hopes
of his recovdry. - At midnight, however, - Dr.
Williams was summoned, and found his Lord
ship in sinking state, from which the free
administration of stimulants failed to rouse
him, till death - supervened soon after, in the
morning. ~ L ord- Clarendon. had 'suffered for
many years from gout,- occurring internally
and at' the joints, in periodical paroxysins.
The action of. the heart was feeble, and the
pulse slow. ' - He retained consciousness' till
within. threollours of his decease.

THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1870.
THE LATE,CUARLEs DICKENS.
The Rhine as a“Boundary.”
GREAT BRITAIN.
(From the London Daily News, July 2.)
THE EXPLOSIVE BULLET.
A Fearful Instrument of Warfare.
The last and most destructive of- the death
dealing projectiles is the explosive bullet,
designed by Pertuiset, and executed ,4y. ,a
French artisan in the celebrated firearths
factory of Devisme, is described in the last
. number of the Army and Nary JOurnal. Ek
ternally quite similar to the originallditile;a'
,_eylindric-conical mass of lead, it isdiscovered,-
by an unscrewing (Wits length about midway,to.
.be internally a magazine of fulminate. The ex
plcsive compound=dynamite powder, „con
,densed powder, or 'whatever it may ¢e--Las an
- exPiD§illtforee_fax times -that .of :.gunpowder.'
Experiments - Which Inade" Under'
the patronage of the RuSiian, Prussian 'and
Austrian g'overnments, ' and last .. by
our own War Department , • demonstrate
not only . Its effectiveness, but.. the sin
• gularproperties its inventor. has given to it.
..Being given -the -distance of- -the- target,-its
_density,: the quantity of charge hi the - gan, - and
the same of the ingredients constituting the
projectile," he has eatablished a most exact re
hition, .by accurate calculation, between the
force necessary to explode , the projectile and
•ite perietration,befere.subjectionto this pres-.
sure. Thus the magazine can be ;so consti
cstuted that the passage of the.huliet.through,a.
sheet Of paper will. .explode it, or, so ~that the
severe impact of iron or hard wood I:needed
for such a . result. It is comfbetitig to be .113-'
sured that " a ball which would not explode in'
•the body of a soldier or a horse, if not at a
very limited .distance, would explode 'in ..the
snore resisting body of an ammunition wagon."
-Though.M. Pertuiset the-inventor-of the
particular missile to which our attention has
been drawn,lfy a singular propriety of cif
cumstanceS Prince Pierre Napoleon, the bele
noire of the Bonaparte family, appears to have
been. its inspirer.. From
,a
badly translated ;from -au essay on--explosive
projectiles, written by the Prince, we are not
surprised to learn that its author entertained
the idea quite a number of years ago,and even
applied to Devisme to make him a gun ofpar
ticular calibre, suited to a - hollow projectile of
copper, or of an alloy of lead and antimony.
The fact of Devisme 's declining to produce
the arm defeated the - Prince's purpose.
The ethics of slaughter are defined in no -
recognized code, but there is a pretty general
accord among nations that explosive bullets
shall not be used in small arms.. Our readers
- have.not forgotten-toe convention into which,
at the instance of Russia, the preminent na
-tions-of Europe - entered - a y car — or — two — ago.
During our own war there was an occasional
suggestion.of such missiles being usedf but we
prefer to believe that the few cited instances
were altogether •imaginary: We.know that
an invention of this nature—whether Per
tuiset's or not we are uncertain—was offered
- to - the Confederates and declined,on the score
of pure sentiment, by the Board of examining
officers: and, if our memory is not at'fault, the
infernal missile was considered in a similar
spirit by our War Department. ' • •
At the recent trial of Pertuieet'S projectile,
made by the Ordnance Department at Wash
ington, the purpose 'of experiments - seems to
have been to demonstrate its utility in ekplod
ing caissons, artillery wagona,ete. The, twenty- ,
seven shots, made at all sorts of targetsairoved

Latest Details of Rebel Vietdries and
Spanish Assassinations.
Dort Fernando Lopez Queralta has arrived
in this city from :Nassau. Before the war this
eentleman was a prominent merchant of
Havana, bat .on the opening of hostilities
hastened.to join thestandard of Cespedes. He
is now a Colonel in the insurgent army, from
which be brings late and important informa
tion.
Col. Queralta left the coast of the island on
the 28th of June, in a small boat, and a few
days thereafter had the good fortune.to reach
Nassau in safety. In crossing the country to
the point of embarkation, Queralta met two
parties of insurgents. The first was composed
of 400 men, commanded by Horacio Simoni,
and the second was a body of 800, commanded
by Mateo Cassanova,the latter being Inspector-
General of the State of Caruaguey. These men
were all unarmed, and were on the way to
Punta Brava, where the Upton on her first
expedition had landed a supply of arms. The
Colonel believes that all the war material
landed at Punta Brava by the Upton was saved.
but cannot give an opinion as to the result of
the second expedition.
Acciarding to the best information received
by him from all parts of the island, the in
surgent cause was being successfully main
tained.
Brigadier Bernabe Varona (otherwise ealled.
Bembeta), accompanied by Major-General
cavada, chief General of Staff; had left for the
Western Department. On the march, the
troops of their command came up with an in
trenched camp of Spaniards at Lazar° Lopez
in the Department of Moran), which was
taken by assault, the Spanish troops losing
largely. In this fight Manuel Suarez, Com
mandante Canto, and an American, Colonel
Clancy, of the insurgent army, particularly
distinguished themselves. .
The Cuban division continued the march in
a westerly direction, their ranks, in the mean
while, rapidly. augmenting.
The fortes of General Salome Hernandez,
which mere awaiting the column of Brigadier
Ilembeta, near Villa Clara, had received a, re
inforcement of 370 volunteers, deserters from
the enemy's ranks. Many of these were from ,
the Canary Islands, and some of them were
natives of Cuba.
A body of Spanish troops, at the beginning
of June, entered the village of Banoco, in the
jurisdiction of Cubitas, and taking advantage
of the absence of Fernando Espinosa, who
was attacking the Cuban camp at Carras (a
distance bt'aeven leagues from Puerto Prin
cipe), assassinated an old man of 70 years—
udge Monteag.udo, arni also Gregorio Mola,
Jose Thomas Peld'ez, father and sou, and Juan
Alvarez, all of whom were either sick or
otherwise defenceless. They cut off the nose
and ears of the last-named individual. At the
same time Poncho Lima, Francisco Vatona,
and Jose Maria Quesada, were brutally mur
dered.
While the column was retiring from the
village it was met by Francisco Riven:),
Frederic° RiVero,' Constantino Lavedo, and
two others, :who accompanied them. The
latter were all Cubaup. They asked of the
advancing .party who they were. The
Spaniards replied by crying out " Cuba libre,
we are your brothers, do not fear." Upon

A SOUTHERN OUTRAGE.
A Poor Colored Foiplli Whipped to ,
Death by Georgia tia-litak.
A correspondent writes from Atlanta, Ga.,
:id hist., as follows :—The particulars of a most
fiendish outrage perpetrated upon a . family of=
colored people near Highcastle, in Forsyth
county, in this State, have just reached_this
city, the information being brought by a gen
tleman direct from the scene of the outrage.
The facts of the affair are substantially as fol
lows:
Some two weeks ago, about 1 o'clock in.the
morning, . a party of nine or ten masked.mon
surrounded the cabin of a colored man named
Walker, oCCupied by himself, Wife and sister
'as a residence, and breaking open the door,
dragged the inmates from their beds and into
the open air, tied them, bound ani gagged, to
trees, and with heavy . horsewhips whipped
-them until they were insensible.- The fiends
then left their victims st.lll bound to the trees,
remounted thdirlionses and - rode away. The
next morning the poor creatures were discov
ered by a party of laborers going to their
ork. whe immediately _released ~.tileut from
their fasteniugs and gavo the alarm. -
The sufferings of the three poor wretches,
after returning to consciousness, throughout
that long, terrible -night, may be imagined
bur not described.
The three sufferers were at once removed to
their cabin, and everything done to ease their
pain that was possible for the poor people,
- their friends, to do. The man, however, has
since died from the effect of his wounds, while
his wife and sister still lie in a very critical
condition.
The bodies of the poor women are_describted
as being covered-with-long ; deep gashes, the
marks of ..the lashes being confined to no par
ticular part of the victims' persons - , - this Man
and the two women having been completely
stripped before the whipping.
The causes that led. to the perpetration of
this outrage rest in the refuSal of the deceased
man, Walker to leave the county, he having
been frequently warned that it would be best
for him-to-do-so—lt seems that-Walker had
been cultivating on shares the-farm of one of .
the residents of the county," and by much
exertion had succeeded in .getting in a large
crop oi_corn. The crop no longer requiring
attention till harvest time, and - it giving
promise of a heavy yield, has- excited the
cupidity of the - owner of the landto get - entire -
TossessiOn-of the crop, and therefore to save to
himself the sbare that would rightfully belong
to Walker. With this purpose in view he had
for some time past been subjecting Walker to
insult and unjust treatment but Walker was
not in that way to be forced out of participa
tion in the frinth of his hard labor, and so has
borne every indignity. . and wrong in humble
silence.
- Two of the party engaged in the outrage -
were
were recognized by the woman, and two days
after the whipping, warrants for the arrest of
the men were placed in the hands of one of
the officers of the county. But there the,mat
tel. rests. One of the leading aud influential
men of Highcastle, Wilkie by name, when ap
pealed to by Mr. Hollingshead, the Notary
Public who issued the warrants, to exert his
influence to bring the perpetrators of the das
tardly atrocity to justice, violently opposed
the idea of making any arrests, giving as his
reason for such a course that the presence of a
few IC .ti-Klux in the county was necessary to
keep the freedmen in proper discipline. It is
intended to lay the whole matter before
General Terry.
EXTRAORDINARY LITERARY WORK
41, Book on Deformity.
A man died recently in the Rue Cuvier, in
Paris, who had labored for more tuau fifty
years on a work on huhapbacks. He was a
wealthy, independent bachelor, with an iron
constitution, and the singular man had spared
no sacrifice, had braved danger and fatigue,
to gather the innumerable olkiervations he had
gathered in his gigantic work., When his heirs
were looking for a will, they found the im
mense manuscript which be had left. ft com
prises two thousand sheets with the most
exact drawings of innumerable humps, and
calculations and observations on the same.
The man had traveled over the
world, through Europe, Asia, _ Africa
and America; he had been in Hi t aloostan and.
Japan, in Nubia and Abyssinia, just for the
purpose of studying the humpbacks of those
countries. In the temperate zone in Europe
he found the most of them. The most singu
lar observation made by this eccentric explo
rer was the fact that the humps have a sort of
connection with the formation of the surface
of the country 'where they are found. So the
humpbacks in the„Elyrenees showed the angu
lar,jagged shape 'of their mountains, while
the humpbacks of the sea coast showed on one
side a gentle descent. In the humpbacks of
the plains the humps smooth down gradually
on all sides.
