New Books.
D. Appleton & Co., the eminent, New York pub
lithe ! are as active as their neighbors in the pro
duction of standard works. Their "New Ameri
can Cyclortedia," every line of whichwas expressly
written for It, will long remain an example of their
enterprise end judgment. Commenced in the au
tumn of 1861, just when the country had "fallen
upon evil daps,'" it was issued, as promised, with
surprising regularity, and completed in a manner
creditable to the firm and satisfactory to the public.
Their scientific library, their Dusseldorf Gallery,
and other richly-illustrated works; their superb
edition, in two volumes, octavo, of James Stuart
Mill's "Principles of 'Political Economy," and
other publication., are equally creditable to their
judgment. They have recently commenced the reissue
of a work lately begun irk:London. This is a "His
tory of the World," by Philip Smith, one of the
chief writers of the splendid series of Smith's Die.
tionaries of Greek and Roman Antiquities, Biogra
phy, and Geography. We have aeon the first num
ber, which is full of promise. " Life of
Theodore Parker," Hunt's " Life of Edward Living
atone ;" their beautiful edition of alerivs'n's " His
tory of the_Romans under the Empire," of which
three volumes have appeared, and their reprint,
in a manner superior to the London edition, of
RaWlinson and Wilkinson's new English Version
of "The History of Herodotus," should also be
borne in mind.
Merivaleee Roman History covers the whole time
from the that Triumvirate to the transfer of the Best
of Empire from Rome to Constantinople, a period
of 400 Sears, at the close of which Gibbon's annals
commence. The first and second volumes contain
the best account or Julius OMlttnett splendid career
yet written, and the third event t 6 graphic account of
what happened in Rome after his death; the fall of
Antonius, Brutus, Cassius, and Cicero ; the ap
pointment of Octavius to supreme power, as Int
perator, (Emperor,) and hie assumption of the title
Of Augustus ; and the early events of his long and
brilliant reign. This reprint exactly follows the
fourth London edition, and, like that, has a num
ber of-necessary maps, and will have a copious ans.
lytioal index.
Messrs. Appleton lately published a 12mo. volume,
entitled "-Education ; intellectual, moral, and phy
sical? which has attracted the attention, and ob
tained the eulogy of some of the deepest thinkers,
ablest writers, and best teachers in this country. It
was written by Herbert Spencer, well known as a
large contributor to the leading quarterly reviews
of England. From these he has lately selected thir
teen essays, which Meagre. Appleton have printed
in a handsome volume, entitled "Illustrations of
Universal Progress." This Will soon be followed
by a volume entitled " Essays ; moral, political, and
resthetio." 01 all Ergliah writers now living, none
has investigated the philosemby of Nature so closely
or so successfully, and his wonderfully lucid manner
of expression may be noticed as a leading cause of
hie success. The papers in this volume on Manners
and Fashion, the Phe siologyof Laughter, the Origin
and Function of Music, and the Development Hy
pothesis, will be felted particularly attractive to
general readers. - It in Messrs. AnPietou'e intention
to repiibligh the whole of Herbert Sperteerie
writings.
They have also published a volume of "Church
Elitism" by G. C. McWhorter, (whose " Popular
Handbook or the New Testament" we lately had
occasion to commend.) and this opens with an exact
history of the formation of the beautiful Liturgy of
the Church of England. "Mount Vernon, and other
Poems," by Harvey Rice ' containing something that
is good, With much that is commonplace and feeble,
and some terribly bad rhymes, (we have no hope of
a man who makes arm rhyme with calm, dawn with
sown, charm with balm, fawn with morn, and so on,)
yet, after all, showing occasional depth of thought—
as in to The Miters , of Life"--and a thorough boy.
ally, which covers a multitude ,of [literary] sins.
Very different is a volume called "Hints to Rine
men," by H. W. S. Cleveland, of Danvers, Mass.,
whish is practical, and has told us more about
rifles and rifie.ehooting than We ever knew be.
e. Whoever wants to learn the power of a
rifle, and the construction of the weapon by
various makers, will economize time and research
by giving Mr. Cleveland's volume a careful pc
rand. Messrs. Appleton's latest publication is a per'
sonar narrative, entitled "My Cave Life in Vicks
burg." The author is a female Secessionist, who
left a place called Sachsen, "on the night of the
15th" (month and year not stated), for Vicksburg,
lived in a cave there for sonic Weeks, during the
bombardment and until General Grant took the
place. Previous letters from other Secession locali
ties follow the main narrative. The book really is
of very little interest, except where it shows to what
straits the besieged in Vicksburg were reduced ere
they gave in. The above.named works can be prod
cured from Ashmead do Evans, 724 Chestnut street.
- A work wholly new in its character, and likely to
interest s. great number of readers, Is announced by
Mr. Appleton to be completed in two large volumes,
Bvo., (to inAtch with Burton% Encyclopedia of Wit
and Humor, we suppose,) and to be entitled the
" , Cyclopedia Of Commercial and Business Anec
dotes." It a ill be written, edited, and compiled by
Frazer Kirkland ; will have forty portraits on steel,
ar,d many wood engravings, and will exhibit the
humorous phase of trade amt traders. The portraits

424 WALNUT. STIIENT, April 19a1, 1864
Sxa: I send you herewith a letter which I think,
if you should have room for it, will interest your
readers. It is from Mr. Reuben Tomlinson, Govern
ment Superintendent of the Freedmen in St. Hele
na's and Ladies' Islands in South Carolina.
Mr. Tomlinton it a Philadelphian, well and favo
rably known to many of the best people of this city.
He went out to Port Royal under the auspices of
our Relief Committee, as an ordinary superintend.
ent, and has since raised himself to hie present re
aponsible and honorable position by his merit and'
ability. His duties are at this time chiefly magiste
rial; be hear. complaints, and settles difficulties
arising among the freedmen, lenjoying the confi
dencealike of General Saxton, who appointed him
to the office, and of the colored people who have to
abide by his decisions. He is particularly well quell.
fled for hit duties. He it also well qualified to serve
as a witness in the matters of which he here testifies.
His letter, you will perceive, has been drawn
Out by one from me. It is our practice to call,
from time to time, upon our teachers and superin
tendents for reports of their progress, and in my last
requisition I took the liberty of including Mr.
Tomlinson. Ha is the fint to respond, and this is
his report. It speaks for itself. The significance of
his statements is obvious, and comment is unnecer
sary, but I would direct attention to the argument
for emancipation underlying what he says of the
nevem' inereased punt:runt The artleler, now

DEAR MR. MoKriA : I have yours of the 21 inst.,
requesting a statement of facts, bearing upon the
progress of the freedmen in this department. You
say that the question is eon asked, both at
home and abroad, '' What astir of the
progress of freedM'en VI
To us, w g in the midst of thet evi
dences,l64o2,
the 41 . seems superfluous. Yet, sup
pose it ought to nd must be answered.
The first fact to Mob I would call. attention is
this: In August, 1662, when I first same interth.o de
partment, nearly the whole colored populatn was
drawing rations from the Government; at tge time
I think not more than five hundred persons draw
rations from month to month. I include in this es
timate refugees and those that would be paupers
under any airounattancee. Misnumber is constant
ly diMinisbing, and brthe end of the season there
will be none entitled to i' rations" except the desti
tute old and infirm parsons, and we hope to have es
tablished, before that time, a system of taxation
that will insure the support of the poor and infl:m
Without any aid from Government.
Last year -four plantation' ware purchased and
worked by thefreed men for themselves. The " Rey
nolds " place produced over four thousand dollars
worth of cotton, besides a plentiful provision crop
Alter paying all their expenses, the people on this
place have a very handsome balance to commence
the year with, The " James Tripp" place did pro
portionately as well, but I cannot trust my memory
to give exact figures, ano cannot get them in time for
the steamer. Ike ow that no one person on the place
received less than fifty dollars as his share, while
most of the shares ran over one hundred dollar.,
and some as high as two hundred dollars. Whim,
also, besides a large provision crop. The "Inlet"
place, Owned and worked by Harry McMillan, pro.
duced thirteen hundred and tlfty•elght dollars , worth
of ginned cotton. The bulk of this cotton was
raised by the labor of Harry, his wife, and two
daughters, with the ate of a mule and plow. Harry
ma for his plantation, buys necessary stook, in
cluding cotton gins, &0., and has left a handsome
balance to season the gear with. The "Edgerly"
place, on Port Royal Island, did fully as well as
either of the above. The people on that place not
only raised a crop of cotton, which paid them
all a largo dividend, but in addition to this they
rained on their own land twelve hundred pounds of
ginned cotton for the Rev. Dr. Peak, he, of course,
paying for the labor; and they also paid to Mr.
Hitchcock, a gentleman fromt New York, who was
a Government superintendent in their neighborhood
during last season, a bale of cotton (equal to $400)
as compensation for hie advice and assistance;
which leads some of us to think that they either
overrated his services or that they made more
money than they anew how to use. The " Edgerly"
people have had lumber brought from the North,
and having divided up their land, are building
houses upon their Several lota. -
Thus far those that worked for themselves. Now
for those that worked for other people. Axithony
and Venue, laborers on the " Capt. John Tripp
Corner,” place Et. Helene, received $194.50, exelm.
1 sive of their provision crop. Anthony is over 60,
and Venus over '7O years old. Frank and two
caughtere, girls of sixteen and eighteen Year', of
the same place, received $164.68. Cato, wife. and
daughter, of the Robert Fulton place, received $lBO.
The following amounts were received by persons on
the "Coffin Point" place : Aaron and Judy, $136.48;
Abel and family, $21067; Amaretta and family,
$336 24; Leah and Peter,s99 38; llnckliss and
Phallic $l7B 32 ; Frank anfamily, $181.93 ; George
and family, $174 60; Miller and family, $188.67.
There are reverel other families receiving amounts
ranging from $6O to $lOO. This, of course, is inde
pendent of their provision crop. On the "Pella.
WWII" Island plantation, each hand will average
over fifty dollers, ant it will be remeetbared that
these cases, as well as numerous others that I
might cite, are not the result of high wages, though
the wages were fair, but of industry on the part of
the laborers. Atter this statement, and that made
by Sir. nilbrick, that during the past season he
paid out twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) as wages
to the people on his places, it will not be disputed
that the people have worked industriously and
earned a large amount of money. The next quaff
lion is, are they thrifty and provident in the Ilaa of
its In my opinion they are. Let me state some
facts, which will, I think, sustain that opinion.
When the "instructions" authorizing the " pre
caption" of laud came ;limn here, over eight thou
sand dollars were at once deposited, with parties
apppointed to receive it, by the colored people.
This, of course, did not take in anything like all
the money that would have been forthcoming, had
the people felt sure that by to doing they would
have secured the land. They had been deceived too
oaten, and, to use their own phrase, they "couldn't
trust," At the sale of the town of Beaufort, a short
time ago, a large proportion of the purchsees were
made by colored men, many of them paying the
whole amount down, while others bought with the
soldiers' privilege, one•fourth down. Those pur
chases were not made for 'a song, either,
I can assure you. At the land sales which
commenced on the 16th of February, the same
evidence of thrift and industry on the part of the
pm. le was manifested. Of color*, however, they
could not compete with white men, who had come
down here prepared to give the most fabulous prices
for land. Still, in come instances the freedmen were
secerseful in securing their land, paying in some.
gam as high nes2o per sere. In theme cruet: i n( e - same
Boy armlet all theiy,oweed. and bee. few instances, I
believe, they, b9ttowed, On those laedatecorded to
be sold to the people, although not Yet sold to them,
they are at wok for themselves. They are very de
sirous to secure animals to help them work their
land. At the'recent sales of chattel property on the
different plantationa, the ability of the freedman
dos again manifested. Horses, mules, and cowl
were bought by them quite freely, at very
high prices. They gave more for them than their
friends thought beat, but our appreciation of their
necessity was probably not as great as theirs. In
mehing this estimate of the material progress of the
freedmen in tits department, I have not put referred
to the change that is slowly but surely going on in
their domestic habits. Hitherto their diet has been
of the simplest and most meagre kind—corn and po
tatoes, varied occasionally by a piece of bacon, some
oysters, or fish. Now they buy habitually flour,
mimes, bacon or pork, beef, sugar, rico, tea, and
coffee. These articles, at the present high prices,
take a great deal of money, and this should be taken
into account in speaking of their wages. Then, in
the matter of clothing, it should be remembered
that the majority of the people have had to
get a complete outfit; for at the time their
masters left, even the usual pittance of clothing
had not yet heenedoled out to them, The re ugees
from other places left everything.behind them, and
have literally had to commence life anew. Eighteen
months ago such a thing as a kerotene lamp, (even
a candle.) could not be seen in a negro cabin ; now
they are frequent, not to say o,)lntfil,il, sights. SO I
might go on through the whole catalogue of mate
rial wants, and the same indications of progress
would be found. The educational orogen of the
freedmen is eo dependent upon their material wel
fare, that to prove the one is to settle the question
' With regard to the other. The schools are always
largely atteeded, and when all the drawbacks are
considered, the result so far attained can only be de
scribed by one word—marvellous. -There are, of
Collier, auy number of vices and weaknesses in the
character of the freedmen that must yet be up opt
ed; and a COnteMplation of these le sometimes very
(discouraging. Tile existence of such characteris
tics, however. sill right minded person will take for
granted; and it is our business to show that there
are counter-tendenmea in their character and con

trol them.

Not Less Sanitary for being Christian.
[With the publication rends letter, from a cler
gyman, we desire to close our column. to the unne
cessary controversy between the friends of two
invaluable organizetions.—En. Panes.]
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin: A communication appeared in The Press of
Cesterday (April 19) with the caption of Not emus
hristian for being Sanitary," regretting that the
friends of the Christian Cummiesion should manifest
any disposition to interfere with the efforts that are
in progress to obtain funds for the Sanitary Com
mission, using, at the shale time, a specious argil
went seeding to damage and lessen the influence of
the operations of the Christian Commission.
The author of the article in question, who "is
widely and highly respected among earnest Chris
tiana and philanthropic men," has manifestly taken
an incorrect view of the work and doings of the
Christian Commission—both on the battle-field and
among the sick and wounded in the hospitals—or lie
has utterly misconceived the purpose for which this
benevolent and truly catholic national organization
was brought into being.
The writer concealed that the Christian Commis
sion is in sympathy with the moral and religious
wants Of our poble army 5 that " they have done,
and are doing, a good work, anti the testimonials to
their beneficent deeds, which have been widely cir
culated, are gratifying to every loyal °bristled'
heart." Then he asks, " Whyrieek to diminish the
merits, or embarrass the efforts of the Sanitary
Commission, whose purpose is as benevolent, and,
surely, not less important, than the othespl Is i s
by no means certain that any effort has bsen put
forth brany friends of the Christian Commission to
" end:terra* the efforts of the Saniesey Commis
sion." Bather, "from the spirit and teeor of the
communication of yesterday, does it appear that
the gentleman who nee thus written, and who seeks
to hide from the public eye the feet that the
Christian Commission, wish five times as many
delegates on the field at Getty shurg, and who to-day
have more men and extensive facilities to reach the
Army of the Potomac, in case of Battle, than any
other organization in the land, might feel that the
opposition is directed lowara them, rather than
emanutieg from them.
The fourth paragraph of the communication is
couched in the following words: "The Christian
Commutlien has its appropriate plaee and work;
the Sanitary Commission occupieseanother, and, at
least, equally important sphere. The former con
cerns licell rather with the spiritual than the tem.
poral wants of the suffering, and the latter with the
temporal rather than the spiritual."
Who, at a glance, does not perceive that these
words of the author of the communication in quo&
tion tend to the belief that the work of the Christian
Verne:limien is only Christian, and that the work of
the :military Commission is purely for the physical
succor and relief of the needy, and wounded soldier?
No one doubts that the Sanitary Commission has
done, is doing, and will continue to do, a great and
good work for the temporal welfare of our brave and
patriotic soldiers. But is it just to diegtiin, if not
wholly to ignore, an important part of the work and
operations of the Christian Commission, as designed
in the formation and abundantly carried out in the
workings of this organization? The Christian Coco
mission has most liberally and very generally afford
ed instant tehef to the naked, hungry, and perishing
soldiers of our army ; always on the battle-tield, and
frequently on the camp-ground and in the hospitals'
What are the duties of tee great and good men
who have promptly and gladly been the representa
tives of this Christ-like commission? Has it nen
to visit battle-fields, camp-grounds, and hospitale,
to "insist upon giving the soldier tilted or a news
paper" only, regardless of the obviously pressing
and most urgent need of sanitary assistance? Not
so. When needed, they have given, PIHST. the food,
the cool WO of water or lemonade, the cup of tea,
beef tea, puddings, jellies, fruit., oranges, and also
stimulants, when ordered by the army surgeons.
Their instructions to the delegates to the field in
clude, among others, "the supply of field-hospitals
with such clothing, bedding, and stores as their ne
cessities require ; the distribution of stores and pub
lioationa to all in the camps, officers end men ;
aiding the men with paper, envelopes, and stamps
to write to their friends, and writing for them in
cases requiring it ; and getting or doing anything
whatever which may benefit them. These are Chief
amongst the ways to be embraced by , the delegate "
The writer of this communication knows whereof
he affirms. He was one among the many hundred.
of unpaid delegates who, on the bloody field of Get
tysburg, day alter day, assisted in alleviating the
pains of the wounded, binding up their wounds,
clothing them with new and clean linen,
.washing
the feet of the exhausted soldiers, and placing upon
them new socks, knit by the soft and fair hands of
Christian women, (many of them the wives of tiler
gymen) Then followed "those ads of love and
charity which appeal to the strongest sympathies
of our nature." Hour after hour, by day and night,
did the delegates of the Christian Commission ad
minister to the corporeal necessities of the lace
rated and bleeding soldiers, followed by the soothing
and blessed truths of the religion of-gesui Christ.
The combination of the two-fold blessings, tempo
ral and spiritual, makes the Christian Commission
pra eminently valuable to our brave soldiers and
gallant sailors after the sanguinary battles in which
their garments and bodies have been roiled in blood.
"God Almighty bless you; you come to us not only
like the Good Samaritan, but like ,To sus Christ him
self," were among the numerous pathetic expres
sions of our soldieries the delegates of the Christian
Commission noiselessly pursued their blessed work
on the gory battle-field of Gettysburg.
Nearly two year. of experience in the army, amid
the din, havoc, and blood of seven battles, oonvinoei
the writer of this letter not merely of the peotiliat
Illness and objcct of the Christian Commission to
comps's the immediate wants of our brave and Inf.
fering men, but that the delegates to whom has been
entrusted the work of distributing the food, clothing,
wines, and delicacies which a grateful people have
so generously given, has been judiciously and faith
fully bestowed. To question their fitness for the
holier work of this heaven-sent minion would be as
ungenerous as it is unnecessary.
As, therefore, the sanitary and the religious work
are combined in the operations of the Cann - tan
Commission, it is the conviction of the writer of
this letter that Christians are bound to prefer the
channel to communicate their benefactions to our
soldiers and sailors which this organization ad hap
pily furnishes.
Is it not an inevitable conclusion to which all
must come, that the Christian Commission is not less
sanitary far being Christian, any more than the Sani
tary Commission is "not less Christian for being
sanitary 1"
Shall a national organisation, whose headquarters
are in Philadelphia, and whose treasury is empty,
while the Sanitary Commission, whose headquar
ters are in New York, and whose treasury has been
supplied With millions or dollars, be ins longer
without the means to parry on its beneficent and
Godlike work? Surely, Christians and patriots
will respond quickly and liberally, that the two-fold
work of swing for the bodies and blessing the souls
of our soldier, and sailors may not - be hindered.

The City Cars.
To the Editor of The Press
Sin : Allow me to expose a game that is now being
played by the conductors Of the city railroad ears
upon lithe Messengers. Yesterday, on the Fif tenth
street road, many of the passengers desired exchange
tickets, for which they were obliged to pay nine and
ten cents each. The conductor not feeling inclined
to return the change, a lady spoke of this imposition,
and was insultingly told by the gentlemanly (I) con
ductor that she might 14 get out if it didn't suit her."
I know not into whore pockets these extra pennies
go—possibly the company's tressury—but most pro
bably they are considered a -conductor's perquisite,
and are never returned to the employers. Are not
the conductors obliged to make change for small cur
rency, and cannot the paesengens demand an ex
change ticket and their proper change 1 or are the
railroad companies too mean to furnish pennies for
change, and oblige the travelling public to submit
to this stealing extortion 1 •
This system of fraud is not a single exception ; it
moms daily it happened in five instances yester
day in one ear, from the Baltimore depot to Chest
nut street, and is practiced particularly by the Fit

Personal Defence of General Seymour.
Myron Haat>, S. C., April 8, tart.
To the Editors of The Evening Post :
By the Fulton to. day I have received and read,
for the first time, all your articles concerning (some
what) Florida affairs—but more partioularly con
cerning myself.
You assail me professionally and personally.
Now, so far as the character of my military service
is touched I may say that you will find it not un
kindly referred to in the reports of not a few battles,
and in some of these reports I am credited with eon.
siderable more intelligence end skill than you have
been willing to accord me. But the reputation of a
soldier is not based on the opinions of gentlemen of
your profession nearly so strongly as upon those of
mime ; and by these last, only, am I content to be
judged.
There are a few points, however p upon which it Is
proper you should be correctly informed
First. You state that I was once sent from the
Department of the South, by General Hunter, for
"unruly conduct and language. ,3 Your information
here was worse than imperfect; it was simply un
true. I left the department upon my own applica
tion, upon that solely, and for entirely different
causes than differences with General Hunter.
Second. You assert that I "planned and urged" the
assault on Fort Wagner of the 18th of July last.
That is much more credit than I deserve. I had
too vteadfaatly advocated. as a principle, that en.
trenchments defended by the rifle bad not been suc
cessfully assaulted, in this war, to urge or to plan
this assault as an exception. Secessionville and its
lesson were too close at hand to be forgotten.
But this assault was virtually successful. Our
men entered the work, Aeld a part of it for hours,
took prisoners from the garrison. And before at
tributive; any failure to me, would it not have
been well for you to have learned the whole truth
from the few who know it (end very few know the
entire facts concerning any engagement whatever),
before charging me with so many personal, politi
cal, and military crimes, because there was final
failure?
. -
Briefly, your statement concerning my connection
with that assault is utterly incorrect.
Third. For my opinions upon nonprofessional mat
ters, I presume the public oarea very little. But as
you positively state that lam an habitual con
temner of the race" (colored)—also of "negro
troops," and a "virulent proslavery man," I am
justified in pronouncing you quite as wrong as upon
the preceding points. Pro slavery sentiments—even
in a moderate form—/ never entertained. But I de
spise and scorn the hypocritical and sanctimonious
philanthropy of some who are fattening —person.
ally, pecuniarily, and politically—upon the wrongs
of the black, but who have been very careful never
to set him an example on the battle-fold. And that
I have faithfully carried out the desires and coin
mends of the Government, so far as I have had
command of colored troops, the following letters
will beat show :

Lieuo's END. S. C., Aptil 4,1E464.
To the Editors of Me Evening Post:
Please allow me, through your columns, to correct
an error which I find by perusing 'your paper of the
ultimo, under the heading of „ General Seymour
and the Battle of Olireteel" in which yOU say " his
contemptuous treatment of Robert Small, the gal
lant colored pilot who brought the steamer Planter
out of the harbor of Charleston, and who is one of
the heroes of our war, has already been recorded in
this paper."
Through all courtesy to your paper and justice
where justice le due, I must say that, from the first
day of my arrival within the Union lines, General
Seymour has always shown me the greatest regard,
whether in public or private, inquiring how I was
or if I was in need.
Shortly atter turning the Planter over to the
'United States Government, General Seymour sent
for me, and, after several interrogations, ordered me
to have my name entered in Colonel pilot
list, a position for which I am much indebted to
him, and which I occupied until taking command of
this steamer.
Never was there atime when with Gen. Seymour,
or any of his aids, that I was treated contemptuoua
ly or unkindly.
Trusting that you will correct this error, which I
fear some reporter has unintentionally made,
I am, yours, moat respectfully,
captain ROBERT S'4 4114 L,
With this evidence of my treatment of such color
ed troops as have been placed under me, even you
cannot find great fault.
Finally, as a soldier of the Republic, I claim some
trifling respect from you. and some fairness. There
fore I call upon you to give to this /atter, entire, the
same publicity with which you have heretofore as
sailed me.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
T. SEYIEOUR, Brig. Gen, Us S.

Bounty Deserters--Letter front General
Wistar.
HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATER FORCES,
YelmrowN, Va , April 16, 1801.
GBRERAD : An extended spirit of desertion pre
vailing among the recruits recently received from
the North, in aomeof the regiments of my command,
has led me to make some inquiries resulting in ap
parently Oren-authenticated information, which I
beg' respectfully to communicate to you in this un
cflicial manner, deeming it required by humanity,
no less than by our common desire to benefit the
service. .
There seems to be little doubt that many, in foot
I think I am juotifted in saying the most, of these
unfortunate men, were either deceived Or kidnapped,
or both, in the most scandalous and inhuman man
ner, in New York city, where they were drugged
and carried oft to Slew Hampshire and Connectiout,
mustered in and uniformed before their conscious
ness was fully restored.
Even their bounty well obtained by the parties who
were inatrumental in these nefarious transactions,
and the poor wretches find themselves, on returning
to their senses, mustered soldiers, without any neon
r tery benefit. Nearly all are foreigners, mostly sai
lers. both ignorant of and indifferent to the objects
of the war in which they thus suddenly find tnem ,
selves involved.
Two men were shot here this morning for deser
tion, and over thirty more are now awaiting trial or
execution.
These examples are essential, as we all understand,
but it eccurrell to me, General, that you would lou
den MS for thus calling sour attention to the greater
crime committed in New York, of kidnapping these
wen into positions where, to their ignorance, deser•
'lion must seem like &vindication of their own rights
and liberty.
Believe we to be, General, with the hlghett es
teen), your obedient servant,
I. S. WISTA.R.

sage up to this city. There were two cases of small.
pox, one of than being left at Fortress Monroe.
They were all in a very destitute and emaciated
condition, strongly exciting the 'sympathies of
all who were spectators, The boats were moored
at the Boston stermtbip Whet!, where a large de
tachment of Captain Bruce's Battery, under com
mand of Lieutenant C. Augustus Talbott, per
formed the humane task of conveying the sick
and wounded who were unable to walk—one
hundred and four in number—to West , . Build
ing Hospital, where they received the kind anew
Lions of the surgeons and others in attendance.
A very large number were also conveyed in am
bulances to Jarvis General Hospital, while the
remainder, some two hundred, were lent to pat.

Builditg Boa ;Mal were greatly debilitated, haying
been almost et a starving point. One of them eied

BARBARITIES OF BUSRentACltalte IN MISSOURI.—
A correspondent of the Missouri Democrat, writing
from Jefferson City, April 15, says : "Oa last
Tuesday night, the 12th instant, the notorious bUstt
whacking gang of Shumate and Clark went to the
house of au industrious, bard-working German
farmer named Kuntz, who lives some twenty. five to
thirty mile, from the mouth of the Osage river, and
demanded his money. Kuntz had saved some me
nay for the express purpose of sending for his family
to corn over from the old country to hie new home.
He stoutly denied having any cash, but the fiends,
not believing him, or perhaps knowing that he did
have some money, deliberately took down a wood
saw, which was hanging up in the cabin, and cut his
lett leg three times below, and four times above the
knee with the saw. Loos of blood, pain,
and agony,
Made hits poor tallow insensible, and he was unable
to tell where the money was concealed. His man
gled body was found next day, life extinct. A boy
who lived with him succeeded in making his escape,
terror-stricken, to give the alarm- After leaving
Kuntz's, the gang went to an adjoining American
farmer, whose name I was unable to learn, and not
succeeding in their demands for money, they de
stroyed everything in and about the place, took the
rase out, and literally out his head off. All of this
is vouched for by the whole neighborhood.
"One n otorious 'member of this same gang, Wilcox,
was wounded and taken prisoner by a seouting party
from this poet, on the 201 n of March, and he still re
mains unguarded near Hickory Hill, the bush
whackers retreat, and, as his wounds are not dan
gerous, it is the general belief that some of these
line mornings he will join his old aisaociatea in
arms.”
SAFETY OF DE. LIVINGSTONB.—The last foreign
mail settles the question of the safety of Dr. Living
stone, the African explorer, who was reported to
have been killed by the natives on the Zambesi.
The British war sloop -Rapid has brought a let
ter from Bishop Tozer, dated at Murchison Falls
(at the Luabo month of the Zambesi river),
on the 21st of December, which states that Dr.
Livingstone had come back from his expe
dition up the Celli:AU, and arrived at the foot
of the Murchison Falls in November, and they
intended to come down the river as soon as the wa•
ter rose sufficiently to get the Pioneer down. Dr.
Liviogstone and the Bishop and the party were well
in health. The mission party also intended to leave
the country. as it appeared an - unauitable field, and
would return to England by the Cape. The Bishop
and one of his clergymen, however, were to visit the
Governor of Mozambique. These were all the con
tents of the Dishop's letter.
