VT, 'Ditty of the Legislature.
'The special session of the Legislature of
this Stat_e;whieh. has just been 'convened
,by the Governor, has' one' great object to
- which to direct its exclusive and earnest at
tention. The proclamation calling the body
together; and the message of the Executive,
botb-set.out that fact in the plainest terms :
" The taking of some action for the defenee
of the State." It is important that the
- members should boar this in mind is enter
.lllg-upon their duties, and not allow other
ObjeCtS of an entirely irrelevant nature to.
-creep in and occupy the time which should
'be spent in delibefgting over the special bu
siness of the session.
• We are led to make these remarks from
noticing how' quickly a variety of miseel
meous.bills are threatening an avalanche of
civil business upon the heads of the law
makers, who should be occupied in delibe
rations upon military affairs. In the Se
nate a move was made in the right direc
tion by the resolution of 31r. LOWRY, " that
the Senate will not proceed during this ses
sion to the consideration of any private
bill ;" but then follows a proviso, " that
this shall not :refer, to _any . ..bill:ln the •
ilirtfre — G r oVer requiring artion.drirciit,"
which does much to spoil the good effect
of the resolution itself.
In the House almost the first busitiesS
-done was the recalling of some forty bills
in the Governor's hands for the purpose of
amending them. This-step, it appears, ryas
the subject of considerable debate, but the
resolution was passed on the ground that
the amendments required were only trivial.
Now it may happen that but little time
will be devoted to these civil questions, but
as the Bank bill was included in the num
ber so recalled, it, looks very much as if a
wide field of operations was opening before
the real business of the session had bee . n
reached, We all know how easy it is for
a legislative body to be led away from the
main objects which should engross its
attention, and we merely suggest that the
members should beware of side issues, and
recollect that the people of the State are
looking to them for but one thing, a well
constructed militia law.
A Great Man's Friends Deserting Him.
The New York Herald, which has striven
more persistently than any other paper in
the land to puff General McCLELLari Into
notoriety, with the view of getting him .a
few complimentary ballots at the Chicago
Convention, has begun to discover that he
is not the "available candidate" it has
labored so earnestly to prove him,
.and.bas
consequently made anotherof those changes
of base - for which it is so celebrated. In its
issue of Tuesday, after attacking the World
for its glorification of the General, it pro
ceedsto speak of him in the following dis
respectful manner : "It will be Stated as a
fact, however, which cannot be denied,
that General Mee LELL liiehrnond cam
:paign was a failure, and positively fearful
J' think of, from his terrible losses in men
and all the materials of war. It will be
further said that Gen. MoCLEvaii, in his
movements against .the enemy, betrayed
too much of the confidence of the inexpe
rienced leader in his promises to his army
of 'no more defeats and no more retreats,'
and in such - despatches as this : that We
AV drive the enemy to the wall.' It will
be said, too, that from the unbounded con
fidence of the country in these promises of
Gan..IIIcCaELLAN the revulsion in the public

-infinitely more distressing arearAp toJear
than any.other dise.Ppointments•of ate war".
What cause could have produced this sud
den cooling-off of enthusiasm for the fore
most niartyr of Abolitionism ?' Last fall,
the'dy before our gubernatorial election,
General MoCLEmaxwrote a public letter,
deelariug his political sentiments to be in
peffect accord with Mr. Justice WOOD
VAMD, the candidate of the Peace faction
for Governor. This summer the same
Geperal -McCLELLAN in a classical but
slightly ungrammatical oration at West,
Point, expresses himself in favor of a con
tintitnee of the war. Perhaps this slight
apparent inconsistency has been remem-.
bored to his prejudice, and explains the

English, French, anti American Turrets.
However opinions may differ concerning
the best 'plan for the construction of iron
plated ships of war in their general fea
tures, there would seem to be unanimity
upon one point, at least, in this perplexing
question, viz: the correctness of the turret
principle—a principle which, we are proud
t o sa y, Owed its first application to A.meri
can enterprise, and,inventive genius. Eng
land, in the person - of one Captain Comm,
R. N., (the designer of the Royal Sove
reign), has, as a matter of course, attempt
ed to share the honor of this great disco
veiy . with us, but our monopoly is not to be
disputed. It is rather remarkable that the
three great Powers of the world—England,
Fiance, and America—should be simulta
neously building iron-clad batteries upon
the turret system; and it is likewise
remarkable that each nation has a
peculiar' plan of turret, of its own de
vising, which,it fancies to be better than
any other plan. In the 4nglish iron-clads
the turrets, instead of resting on brass rings
on the upper deck, from which they are
raided by' means of a screw-wedge, in time
of action, have their base and working por
tion on the lower deck. Less height-sur
face is thus presented to an enemy's gune.
The Royal Sovereign's turrets distribute
their weight over a large spate, while the
turret revolves on bevelled wheels, much in
the same manner as a railroad turn-table.
In our own monitors, on the contrary, the
turrets revolve, about a central spindle,
which rests upon the keelson, standing out
"like boys' peg-tops.*hen spinning," as
the 'London Times describes it. Upon what
principle the French turrets are constructed,
or whether they are intended to revolve,
- we cannot say. A Bordeaux journal gives
a description of a new vessel now in course
of construction at that port for the French
navy, called the Sphynx. It appears to be
a sort of compromise betweeh our moni
tors ,and such heavy floating batteries as
the Magenta and the Warrior. We are told
that the bow, which dips at a very sharp
angle, is armed with a powerful spur of
cast steel, which is attached to a plating,
but whoSe' salient point is placed one meter
lower than the point. to which the plating
descends. This position is given to her
spur, in order that she may strike other
plated vessels in their vital parts beneath
their line of defence. .From this it will be
seen that she would be very apt to prove a
formidable adversary to the English light
draught iron-clad Research, which is tot
armed with a heavy prow, and is furnished
with no armor-plating for a foot above
water line. The Bordeaux paper, which
does not descend to the minuteness of de
tail, characteristic of our own and English
local reports, tells hs unsatisfactbrily of
the Sphynx, that her deck, Which is itself
plated with sheets of iron placed between
the beams and the planking, is surmounted
by two plated towers, which present a for
midable means of resistance. In the fore
• tower will be placed a, pivot gun of the
enormous calibre of three hundred pounds,
destined to produ6e, at short range, the
most terrible effects, and in fact capable of
destroying any iron plating. In the tower
art will be placed two long-range pivot
guns of seventy, for fighting at a greater
distance. The principle of this armament
is to replace by a small number of heavy
pieces the ordinary armament, whose force
has hitherto been judged by the number
of guns of much less formidable calibre."
This principle of armament is undoubtedly
the correct one, as was proven in the case
of our own monitors, as recently as in the
engagement at Mobile. As to the turrets,
each has doubtless its own advantages
and its own advocates, and all are necessa
rily still in the nature of experiments. In
our own case, at least, the experiment" has
so far proved a ,success.
Semmes.
CARfilin
pirate, eddipared with whom' Captain irm,
the buccaneer, was a virtuous, character,
has come to grief. A. Richinond journal
announces that he (Saisthiss) will probably
be reprimanded by the rebel Government
for having lost the Alabama, the grounds
for blame being thit he ought not have
risked the vessel, and the special lament
being that -it will be nearly impossible
ever to replace her. SEMMES is too
thick-skinned, we suspect, to be mach,
if at all, annoyed by any censure
which his fellow-traitors at Rich
mond may cast upon him. Like them,
he is a rebel in heart and in action, but he
is a shade worse than some of them, inas
much as he deliberately violitted the oath
of allegiance which, as a naval officer, he
had taken when entrusted with a naval
.command. This SENGLES could not say
that he had been ill-treated or in any way
neglected by the United States Govern
ment. He had attained the high rank of
Commander in the Navy, and was also a
member of the Lighthouse Board. Nor
did he belong to a seceded State, seeing
that his native Maryland, whatever her
proclivities at one time, never went out of
the Union. He followed the example of
his friend M.AI3RY, a man whom his court_
try, delighted to honor and advance; and,
not content with simple treason, added to
it the seasoning of perjury and ingratitude.
Why "the so-called Southern Confede
ration" should call SEMmEa over the coals
for the loss of the Alabama remains to be
seen., That vessel , most probably, did not
belong to the rebels, as the Sumpter did,
which SEMIES first Commanded. The
Alabama, as we have heard and believe,
was the property of a set of British sym
pathizers in Liverpool and London—of
LAIRD, the N. P. who built her ; of LIND
SAY, the M. P. who supplied her provi
sions ; of JAMES SPENDE, who put on
board her cannon, small arms, and ammu
nition:, of RoEsuck, the.M. P. who re
joiced in her evil successes ; of GREGORY
and FERGUSON, the N. Ps. who constantly,
championed the 'revolt. These; we be
lieve, owned the vessel, and must have
made "a good thing" out of SEMIES'
piracy with her—proyeed always that

before the battle showed him to have a
penchant for that sort of plunder, and
would indicate - that he had especial Care of
his own interests. No one, can call the
Alabama a Southern vessel. The rebel flag
was rarely seen on her, and though more
than two years at sea, this vessel never once
entered a Southern port. The. Alabama
obviously was British-built, supplied, and
almost wholly officered in and from Great
Britain, No wonder that the .rebel press
Should condemn SEItiIIES for putting the
Alabama in the way
,of being destroyed.
The whole. of this scoundrel's policy had
been to bully and maltreat the weak, and to
avoid collision with the strong. The mo
ment he saw a vessel larger than his own
approaching him, he retired with the least
delay, not caring to encounter a ship that
might bear the U.S. flag. Who knows—
but perhaps the ruffian had a conscience,
and did not choose to look upon the glori
ous flag which he had abandoned and be- -
trayed
The Alabama fought the Kearsarge be
cause Smarr-shad no alternative. Captain
WrrusLow had taken his vessel full in front
of the port into which SEMMES liad ran,
and would there have blockaded the Ala
bama until he had forced her into the ac
tion. Seldom ihave vessels been so Well
matched, but the Alabama had no 'chance
from the first. The Kearsarge had a good
cause, and that counts for much in all
contests.
The end is, Salnans has taken from
Cherbourg the spoil which he deposited
there ere he steamed out in the Channel.
Not a ward more is said of that sword
which, under the auspices of Commander
Prat, was to have been subscribed for and
publicly presented to him. The dinner
which the Junior 'United Service Oftib
talked of giving him is never heard of
now. • SEAMUS, when last heard of, was

ilejor General Die, New York.:
The following report of thezuceess Of our opera
tions at Mobile, extracted from the Richmond En
quirer of this morning, has just been received by
this Department from Major General Butler:
"Moan.; lAugust B.—On !Friday night Lieut.
Col. Williams., commanding Fort Powell, evacuated
and blew up the fort. Yesterday and to-day the
enemy are shelling Fort G-aines. The people of
Mobile are all ready for the fray. The people are
satisfied with the conduct of Lieutenants Buchanan,
Maury, and Bennett, of the navy.
"MOBILE, August B.—lt ispainfully humiliating
to announce the shameful surrender of Fort Gaines
at half past nine o'clock this morning, by Colonel
Chas. Anderson, of the 21st Alabama Regiolent.
This powerful work was provisioned for six , months,
and with a garrison of 600 men. He communicated
with the enemy's fleet by flag of truce, with the
sanction of Gen. Page.
"General Page inquired by signal what his ,pur
pose was, and received no answer. His attention was
attracted by signal guns, General Page repeated
ly telegraphed : Hold on to your fort.'
"The same night he visited Ft. Gaines and found
Anderson on board the Yankee fleet, arranging the
terms of capitulation: He left peremptory orders for
Anderion, on his return, not to surrender the fort,
and - relieved him of hie command.
5 ' Fort - Morgan signalled this morning, but no an
sorer 3vas received exqept the hoisting of the Yankee
Bag over the ramparts of Fort Gaines. Anderson's
conduct is officially pronounced Inexplicable and
shameful."
Despatches just received from General Sheridan
report his forces moving against the enemy up the
Shenandoah. At 4 P. W.. they were skirmishing
.
about ten miles from Winchester.
This morning General Grant reported the ek
plosion of an ordnance boat yesterday, loaded with
ammunition, at City Point whexf: No details have
been received. Colonel - Babcock, Of Gen. Grant's
staff, was slightly wounded. •
No °parallel's before Atlanta of consequence are

A. M,—(Special to the Herald,]—Theretrels fall back
from the flyer yesterday afternoon, and are now
in full retreat up,the valley, In consequence
of a heavy 'Union force having got upon Earfy's
Bank, thus dangerously threatening his rear and
communications with Richmond.
The flank movement was made by order of Gen
Grant.
Those who know Say Early will not make a stand
lathe lower part of the valley union's absolutely
compelled to do so. It is thought, though, there
will be some Bgltlng• in and around the fortiflea
tins of InneheSter.
Early's force did not at any time during this last
raid exceed 18,000. I have facts and figures to prove
this, these figures descending even to the strength
of brigades and regiments, with the names of their
commanding officers.
As I close this despatch there is a report that Mar
tinsburg was occupied by Union troops last night.
The road from here to Martinsburg Is now said to
be clear.
I hear of no heavy fighting. There are reports of
skirmishing, and from all accounts there is every
Indication of a general rebel retreat.

HOUSE
The House met at 10 A. M
Kr. BROWN offered a resolution recalling some
forty bills from the Governor. These were bills
which bad-been passed by both branches" of the
Legislature, and which needed the personal liability
or some other amendment before they could be ap
proved by the Governor.
A. general discussion ensued as to the propriety
of recalling the bills. It was contended that by so
doing the Legislature would be opening the door to
priVate legislation. On the other hand it was argued
that the bills to be returned, and perfected were
really meritorious, and needed only trivial amend
ments.
Mr. SMITH, of Chester, moved also to recall from
the custody of thb Governor an act enabling State
banks to do bithiness under the National law, which
the Governbr had refused to sign.
Mr. SMITH, of Chester, stated that the objection
to the bank bill was that it did not require the State
organization, before going under the Nationalism, to
surrender the specie certificates which they had ob
tained from the poinmonwealth. If this amendment
was made the•bill might not be objectionable to the
Governor. The majority of the State banks were
willing to surrender their certificates, and Penney!.
van% would thereby bo relieved from the burden.
The amendment of Mr. Smith was agreed to, as
was also the resolution recalling the bills.

—VIM REBEL GREAT OURS.
Affairs still continue quiet before Petersburg.
The rebels have mounted some additional great
guns upon their works, with which they keep up
now and then a vigorous shelling of our batteries.
The duels are of varying success, but our guns gene.
rally have the balance of "ellenelugsn In their
favor. It is asserted that the mine, which has here
tofore been represented to have exploded forty yards
from the earthwork it was to destroy, did explode in
the exact spot the rebel engineers Intended. The
fort wile Part of the line guarded by Greet. Warren's
(the sth) corps. A. few hours before thg explotion
deserters came ln 5 Informing our officers of the exact
spot in which it was expected to take place. The
work—an unimportant one—was abandoned before
it vent into the air. This statement is, however,
only a statement, and we give it for what it is worth.
Id the absence of any war news, the correspondents
are turning their attention to the quieter incidents
ormilltaiy life. One of them details the following
little rogiante, which will afford ground enough for
the efforts of half a dozen novelists. Its Interest
is heightened by the' social position of one who
figures in the story, who is no less than the daughter
Of eX-President Tyler":
Just before the army crossed the James river, and
while our corps was in the vicinity of , Oharles City
Court Rouse, private John Rick (not a very romantic
name for the hero of my brief romance, but "what's
in a name of the 2d New York Rifles, was taken
sick, and was left at the house of the late ex-
President Tyler.. An aged relative of the family
and Misa Tyler. the President's , daughter—a lady
young, good looking, and withal strongly rebellious
—were the occupants of the mansion, which, I should.
say, en peasant. was ransacked to some extent by
our soldiers_ before a guard was stationed to protect
it. The army, in course of time, passed away, and
the sick man languished In the luxurious rooms of
his fair young host, in whose breast pity and apnea,
thy soon emerged into the stronger passion which
rules the camp, the court, the grove." Forgotten
was the bated blue of the Federal soldier; forgotten
the vandal work which still left its traces behind ;
forgotten the anger with which of_yore Virginia's
foemen were wont to .inspire all true (I) daughters
df.that - State. She loved the. Yankee, and the young
rifleman returned her love, as the novels say. Of
course, the next proceeding was matrimony. A
minister was founii, and they were netted in the
bonds of matrimony—more fortunate. la this respect.,
than the prototypical Romeo and Juliet.
.THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON.
Whispers come to us that General Foster is pre
paring for , a move on Charleston, more formidable
than any its defenders have yet had to oppose.
What none know, but it excites great expecta
tions among our officers and soldiers who have so
long lain on Morris Island. The bombardment is
still kept up against Sumpter, but with no appre
ciable effect, beyond altering the shape of the great
pile of ruins. Two-prisoners of war, who escaped
from their rebel jaiiers, arrived a week ago within
our lines. They are respectively a captain and
lieutenant in the 100th Ohio. A correspondent says
they tell fearful tales of the treatment of Union
prisoners. We have already informed the reader
of the fact that all the prisoners were removed from
Richmond, the officers to Macon, and the soldiers to
Anderson, Georgia; 1,800 officers being confined
in the former and 30,000 men in the latter place.
The escaped men report that .the Vision soldiers
had no barracks, no tents, not even a shade tree.
The lot confining.them is about eight acres. At one
time it rejoiced In a few trees. Au effort on the part
of some of the men to escape brought into requisi
tion some limbs of the trees, when rebel magnanimity
and humanity ordered them all to be cut down. The
tales of the-prison -ships of the Revolution have lost
some of their horrors by comparison with this age.
All the Union officers have now been removed from
Macon to Charleston. On the train from Savannah
to Charleston, when near Pocotallgo, the two officers
above named leaped from the cars, hid themselves by
day, travelled by night, negroes secreted them, blood
hounds were put on the track, and some officers were
rearrested. Fortunately Capt. Hunt and his officer
escaped bloodhounds and rebel pickets, and reached
the ferry. The latter was exhausted and could not
swim. So the Captain waded the marsh and swam
the river, and was greeted by sentinels of the 56th
New York Volunteers, Colonel Van Wyek, doing
picket d'Uty at that point. The' Captain asked for
volunteers to cross the river and get the - exhausted
lieutenant. No time could be Lost; it was already
daylight. The gallant men of the 58th responded I
promptly, jumped into a boat, steered for the mall?
land, and, under sight of rebel soldiers, bore away
the almost lifeless lieutenant. They go North by
this steamer. Their story should be written, and
read by all men in the North.
AVFA/RS AUOUND ATLANTA.
Here, too, our operations hare subsided Into a re
gular siege. The roar of cannon goes on all day,
and breaks out during the night in great gusts and,
stoims. In expectation Of this siege the rebels pie

They are the Same kind they used at Vicksburg—

the service, and their • passage was .taken with
that -understanding. The failure to do as they
had agreed in Boston involved a heavy loss
to persons who bad paid their passage money.
The second company, as soon as they arrived
at Boston, put on . the - Federal uniform, re
ceived their bounty money, and went into the
ranksi thus providing exemption from the draft
for several hundred .13o8tOulankl, whose business en
gagements did nut admit of their personal service
in the field. Four hundred of the emigrants who
came on the Bellona also entered the service, there
by exempting four hundred other Bostonians- A
majority of these emigrants had already been
trained to the Use of arms, and some of them had
been in battle. It is believed that they will do good
service in Our army.
The secret of this - business, by which Boston ob
tained en betitutes, and two or three persons obtained
a large amount of money,' was at first well kept,
But it finally got out ; a desperate man, a Ser
vial/ by, birth, who arrived on board the Bellona,
and was afterwards brought to this city, has di
vulged the scheme to several unscrupulous indivi
duals, who say they are lawyers, but who' possess
neither ability nor learning, and are without cha
racter or influence—e et they promise him that they
will get money for him, and expect to get more for
themselves, if he puts the case in their hands.
These New York sharpers are unwilling that the
gains of the Boston men ehould be so much, and
their own so little; and they threaten to put an end
to this kind of emigration by going to 'Barone and
making representations about it, unless the Bosto
nians pay them for keeping silence.
A part of the story of this curious emigration
scheme is not secret, but It is novel and interesting.
The men who came in the Bellona were of different
nationalities, but were collected in Belgium wider
the direction of Julian Allen, formerly colonel elf
the well.known organization called the "Polish
Legion," of this city--a regiment which it was pro
posed to recruit at the beginning of the war among
the Polish refugees in this country; but its ranks
were not hiled.ln time, and the men were consolt •
dated into other regiments. Mr. Allen went
abroad to assist his countrymen in their late
struggle for independence, and he is now de-
Ing what he can for American interests. Ste
hundred men were gathered within three
weeks, and Constant accessions were made to their
numbers. It was not difficult to collect them. The
people of Europe are acquainted with the efforts
rualibog here to obtain recruits; and many pereons
desiring. Weenie to t his - country frequently make
application, to - , bur' consuls, supposing, not unnatn-'
rally,,tbat some facilleles'for transportation hither
might be afforded by our diplomatic representa
tives, but thosleofficere, in accordance with the in
structions or our Government, reject the proposals.
When, however, it became known at At/twerp,
recently, that Mr. Allen would receive portions
and send them across the ocean, the tidings were
quickly conveyed to the principal cities near the
seaboard of the continent; and. immediately men
came front all-directions. They walked about at
Antwerp in mends. , A part of them were so much
elated with the prospect of going to America, that
they marched In processions, carrying rags to repre
sent banners, on iong sticks like flagstaffs ; mach to
the astonishment of some of the townspeople and
the amusement of others, who thought a neer eociety
had suddenly sprang into existence, and that rag
ameflins were the only members. '
The Belgian Government would not permit the
embarkation of the emigrants - without a careful ex
amination of them, and the signing of a contract by
each person, which was to be a certificate that he
went by his own desire. This paper (or a copy of it)
was to be left with the customs officers, elserthe
necessary clearance for the vessel could not be el,-
tained. The contract bound the signers, when they
should arrive in the 'United' Stetes, to do whatever
might be required of them; and all the men were
asked by the, ofileers if they, understood what the
contract Implied, and If they were willing to abide
by it. These questions answered satisfactorily, and
- the name attached to the contract, completed the
preliminaries. Some of the Belgians were unable
to write their names, and tee customs officers made
'the required signatures, sayingto the emigrants as ,
they did so, that, they were going to America and
inuttdd - their duty.
The Bellona was ready to sail off the sth of July ;
but it appears that a dishonest contractor had sent
on board a quantity of bad provisions, which were
Served out. to the emigrants, some of whom there
upon marched off the vessel, and were followed by
more than half their fellows. It le said even that
lees than a hundred remained on board. Here was
a dilemma. The vessel had been chartered at a high
rate. She ; waste carry Seven hundred or elght.hun
drectmen. Her owners thought she could carry a
thousand. The Belgian antheritieshe.d surveyed her,
however, and would not allow more than four-hun
dred" and twenty-six to: go on board. Of these
three-fourths had abandoned the vessel, and by
their representations would deter others from com
ing in their places. A summary measure was then
resolved on: All the provisions werathrown over
board before the faces of some of the discontented
men, and they were promised that the best food in
the market should be prooared for. them, and that
they should have double rations. The new food was
bought, and was followdd on board, soon afterwards,
by the runaways. The men bad another reason for
returning to their places on the ship. Thay were
nearly all rough persons eln anticipation of the
trip they hid diepobed of everything -they pos
sessed, even their Spare clothing,.for liquor, and had
had a general "spree." So, 110ef they had neither

ing that illegal . efforts were -made to detain them,
and the ship IVELS, detained till the ()onsets could
make an investigation. The complaint was found
to be incorrect; the authorities were assured that .
all the men on board were at liberty to leave. the
vessel if theydesinedto do so; and the objections to
her departure were withdrawn. • •
On the eth ofJtily. the vessel rolled down the chan
nel for antWerp: There were two or three hundred
men on the vrharf, lobo, desired to go on board; but,
for reasons aireidy given, were.not perthitted.
demonstrations taeklae - tax her departure, indicated
monk disappointment. Seine of them followed along
the banks, wading handkerchiefs, and salting out t
the men on deck to have the vessel stopped,and
they would come on board In email busts. Of course
the request was not heeded; and come of their lum
ber were observed to manifest their vexation in trays.
Regular thins constituted a, part of the daily ex
ercises at sea. A young Pole, who was an officer
in our army, but who resigned and engaged with
hie countrymen in the recent attempted revolution,
presided at there drills, and performed important
services from the Bret. Among these emigrants
were many Gemane who could sing and play;
to the latter were given instruments, and the for
mer assisted the musicians with their voices.
These men. with the exception already noticed,
enlisted on Deer Island. were examined, and after
wards went to the military rendezvous in another
part of the harbor. In four days from the time of
arrival, the business was concluded. Nobody not
intereeted wait wiser, while three individuals were
much riober, and four hundred men were credited
on the quota. of Boston.
More or these emigrants are amino . . Another
reerel Loaded with them is expected at Boston har
bor in a few days. The dicta are known In Europe •
and this new matt= of emieretlon , first made prat:
ticable through the wants and the enterprise of men
of Boston, appears to be successful. No efforts have
been made on the Continent, so far as yet appears,.
to put a stop to It.

Barbarous Treatment of Slaves In Hen
Many of the good people of the free States are in
clined to ho rather incredulous in reference to the
I.lr.r.'B.on.heastrrsb'nubser, t_ T e u n t t h, of a s u l er
s 7 il ly t t r h v et , r
cover up their dark deeds of villainy to keep them
from the publicgaze. Bat we propose to give a
few instances of the same kind a little nearer home.
The nrstinstanoe waarelated in this town a few hours
alter Itoccurred,by ayoung man who haaalwaysbeen
pro-slavery In his feelings, and a strong sympathizer
with the South. The scene occurred in Kentucky—
chits/roles Kentucky. - Just across the river frith
Newberg, Ind., there lives a man by the name of
George Hill, who owns a large farm and a number
of negroee. To the latter, however, he has only a
thief's title. On of these, negroes expressed a de
termination to leave his master and join the Federal
army. By some means Hill found out the intention
of the man, and at once determined to prevent it.
It was Sabbath morning that begot the 119W8,.8814 at
10 o'clock be took the poor fellow, stripped and tied
hint, then took a strap of leather about two feet
and a half long and an inch and a half broad. Tals
he perforated with holes, and out notches like saw
teeth on the edges, then dipping it into salt Mtge
proceeded to the brutal work of whipping. tn
course every stroke with such an instrument would
produce a horrible blood.blister. Thus he coatinueo,
nerving only at intervals to rest himself, until four
o'clock in the afternoon, and how much longer we
know not, for our informant, who was In the
employ of Hill, grow sick at the frightful
scene, and left the place, to return - no more.
During these six hours he could not help
I evincing strong feelings of Sympathy for the
poor, enffering one; and for this Hilt. with bitter
oaths, frequently threatened him with similar treat
ment A short time previous to this an older bro.
ther of Hill's undertook to whip a negro for some
trivial offence, and the negrn, thinking that kind of
work shout played out. offered resistance, where
upon Hill took his rifle and shot him. Fortunately,
however, the wound was slight, and the man re
covered, and is now in the Union army. Now,
these men have talked hard, and cursed - bitterly
saainst a certain imaginary party of amatearna
tionists in the North, and at the same time they are
holding, working, and abusing as slaves their own
half-brothers and half-siatera children that their
father raised by a black woman after he and hts•
wife had separated. This Is slavery as it tr; not
as it might be. And a person would supp
that such mon as these would be the last ones to say
Might against amalgamation:
Our second scene was in the same Community,
and, if possible, more horrible than the first., and Is
equally as well authenticated, being related by an
eyewitness 'A man, familiarly known as Oorneel
hicOornsiok, an overseer for John McCormick, took
a negro woman, stripped and tied her, and then pro
ceeded to whip her until he completely exhausted
his strength at the fiendish work. Then, after rest
ing himself, he took two little boys, tied them with
ropes around the wrists, then hung them up two feet
above the ground, stripped them, and then whipped
the little fellows until they were so near dead they
could not cry. These things are done in Ken
tucky, where slavery is said to exist In its mild
eat form—if so, I pity the worst form. If a man in
this community were to tie up his 'horse or ox and
wantonly beat him to death, the curses of a justly
indignant community would rest upon him. But a
demon in human shape can tie ii a man—his
brother, his equal, nay, In humanity his superior—
and beat him to death and cast aside his carcass as
he would that of a hog, and then walk forth into the
community as a gentleman of high standing and a
clever fellow. And lam sorry to say that there are
men in all the free States that are so devoid of all
the principles of moral honesty, justice, and his
minify, to say nothing of virtue and religion that
they can unblushingly advocate the perpetuity of
this most abominable of all systems known In the
catalogue of infamy.
