Slavery and the-Capture of Washing
ton City hi 1814.
Those who have attentively read the his
tory of our fast war with Great Britain, may
have noted that when the British in the
Chesapeake evinced their intention of ma
king a decent on either Baltimore or Wash
ington. the President and his Cabinet order-
ed the regular force to be stationed at the
Patuxent for the protection of the former,
and made requisition on Pennsylvania, Ma
ryland and Virginia, for 10,000 militia for
the defence of the latter, the number appor
tioned to Maryland being 0,000 and to Vir
ginia, for some reason Or other but 2,000
men. And they may, have further obser
ved, that when the American forces made,
near Bladensburg, their stand against the
British, who had now shown their destina
tion to be the National Capital, the Virgin
ia militia, though known many days previ
ous, to have been on their way, and within
fifty miles of the scene of action, were most
unaccountably absent, and so continued un
til army, being unable, for want of num
lbers, to cope with the enemy, fell back to
wards Georgetown, when ore Virginia regi
ment, not numbering, probably, over one
fourth of the required 2.000, for the first
time ,reached the ground, but constituted
both too small and too late an accession to be
of any service in saving the Capital from
the vandal conflagration that followed,
In reading the history of this humiliating'
event we used to wonder, as, have doubt
less many others, where werelie militia of
the once gallant Old Dominion, that • they
(lid not fly, nt the first alarm, to the defence
of the menaced Capital, which stood so di
rectly on her borders ; and we were never
able to find any solution to the mystery till
we subsequently became a resident of the
northern part of Virginia, the section upon
which the requisition for the above-mention
ed number of militia had been inade.--
Here we learned from the concurrent testi
mony of the best informed, the following
fact, which, as nothing of the kind has ever
been published, we must be contend to state
on our own responsibility :
When the requisition on Virginia reached
through her Governor, General Madison,
who was a brother of Presideht Madison,
and who was, at the time, the commandent
of that division of the militia whose servi
ces were required, he promptly issued his
orders, collected his (pow, mill commenced
his march for the scene of action. Scarce
ly, however had his force passed from Or
ange, Culpepper, Madison, and other ad
joining counties, from which it had been
principally raised, before the slaves in all
that section were seen to be in commotion.
A rumor, it appeared. the source of which I
nobody knew, had suddenly spread every-'
where among them, that some powerful For
'Prince, from Africa, we believe they
had it, with a sufficient force to accomplish
his purpose, had arrive-el on the coast to give
freedom to all the slaves of Virginia.
rumor soon becoming confirmed news with
them, they simultaneously quitted work.
nod, without nautili-slit' , the least disposi
tion to injure the whites, began in their joy
ful excitement, to run from plantation to
plantation, collect in bodies, and prepare to
go off to meet their unexpected deliverers.
The white inhabitants, in the meantime,
who, as has ever been the case with the
whole South, were sensitively alive to the
fear of a slave insurrection, tend were now
thoroughly alarmed by this movement
among the, blacks. as harmless as was the
shape it had taken, sent off express after ex
press to Gen. Madison, whose force had
made a temporary halt in the vicinity of the
Potomac, from which it was on the point of
moving to Washington, and begged him to
return with his troops to quell the appre
bended insurrection of the slaves.
This at once paralyzed the movements of
Gen. Madison. tle immediately marched
hack with the principal part of his force,
leaving the rest, we believe, to remain on
the spot, await the event, and be in readi
ness to return also if wanted. Finding, how
ever, in a few days, that the forces with
which he had returned, were sufficient to
-overawe the slaves, though he dared not
withdraw them again from the infected dis
trict, he finally sent orders to the remnant
he had left on the Potomac to move on to
Washington, as they then did, but reached
the place, as before stated, toe) late to be of
any service.
If the opinion of the- military men of the
day, in deeming the battle of Hindenburg')
to be of an indecisive character, and in con
sidering that a small additional force would
have enabled the Americans there to have
made a . successful stand, were well found
ed, who need doubt that had the Virginia
Brigade, which hail thus been recalled and
kept back to take care of the slaves, been
on the ground ii) season, the fortunes of - the
day had been with us, and the National
Capitol saved from destruction ?
The French Constitution.
The motion for the revision of the French I
Uonstitution was rejected in the Assembly
sit Paris on Saturday, July 19. Out of 739
Members, who now hole seats in the Assort
-7'21 were present and voted-410 in
'favor of the revision and 27S against it; but
as n majority of three•quarters was required
to carry the motion, it failed. We rejoice at
this result.
The meaning of this decision is, that no
change in fundamental law shall take place
until the majority concedes the reestablish
ment of universal suffrage. Had this been
done beforehand, the required number of
votes might possibly have been obtained.—
There are many of the republicans who be
lieve that the Constitution needs improving,
arid who would consent to try if.. But as
long as three millions of the people arc dis
franchised, they will not consent.
Still it is not certain that, even with that
concession from the majority, they could
carry their point. There art many who
think it necessary to defeat the revision,
simply in order to defeat the parties who
desire it. N. de Fallous s and M. Berryer
csotend, for it in order to bring back Henry
V.; others in order that Louis Napoleon
may be reelected. Both these ends are re
sisted by a large body of men, and it is prob
able that they would resist them to the last.
They think it safer for the republic—and
some of them adhere to that form front con
viction others from policy—to go through
the ensuing elections with atl the dangers
represented as connected witlythein, rather
then evade those dangers by keeping Louis
Napoleon in power. Among men of this
class we may name Lafayettes,the Lastey
ries, Lamoriciere, Bedeau, Dafour, de Rem
uSat, de Mornay—all moderate men, of vary
ing political doctrines, who yet voted with
great decision against the revision. It is al
so reinarkble that all the Generals distin
guished for their exploits in Africa voted the
same way. So, too, votedM. 'Tiers,
shrewed judge, at least, of the direction pop
ular opinion is tending.
The Paris Committee which has managed
the getting up of petitions in favor of the re
jected measure, is said to have decided to
keep up its labors. If so, the matter may
be brought before the Assembly egnin, but
more probably it will no more be hoard of.
Certainly it cannot be unless the suffrage is
first made universal, and even then it is by
no means certain that the constitutional ma
jority of three-quarters could bo obtained at
three successive trials, a month apart.
Accordingly it must now be the business
of the parties to prepare for the elections of
next Spring. From those elections we an
ticipate no serious trouble, any more than
we do from the desperate ambition of Louis
Napoleon. This trial will, we trust lay
firmly and beyond future disruption the
foundation of democratic institutions in
Prance.
A Modle Building for San Francisco.
The San Francisco Herald, of June 28th,
has a description of the new building of Mes
srs. Adams& Co.of Express fame,which may
serve as a model in that combustible city.
We make room for the following portion of
it :
It is located on the east side of Montgom
ery street, between Sacramento and Califor
nia streets. From the base to the roof, ev
ery means dictated by experience and judg
ment, have been employed to counteract the
influence of heat, and there can be no doubt
but that the end has been attained.
It is, including the basement, four stories
high, built of hard burnt brick, with walls I
two feet thick from the foundation to the top i
of the parapet. In the centre of these mas-
sive walls, and pervading them throughout
their whole extent, is a vast space four in
ches wide, communicating with the air
through sieves-like apertures in the cellar
and the parapet. It is as if the walls were
double, with the air free circulating between.
This arrangement is admirably calculated to
resist the transmission of heat front the i
outer to the inner wall, on well known phil
osophical principles.
The floor of the basement and the small
yard in the sear is a solid coat of cement i
several inches thic!:. Beneath the surface
of the yard is a reservoir, containing seve
ral thousand gallons of water, from which a
pipe leads under ground into the basement
where a forcepump is attached. A hose
lends from there up through all the floors of
the roof, if necessary. By this arrangement
access to the water may be secured inside
without exposure to the heat, and every floor
flooded in a few moments if necessary.
The first floor on level with the street, is
the banking and express( ofTice—each kind
of business kept perfectly distinct, transac
ted at a different counter and attended to by
different assistants. On one side of the room
are counters set oil for the use of Todd &
Co's and Freeman & Co's Expresses. The
counters, which extend all around the room
are made of solid mahogony, two inches
thick. They are tastefully and highly
wrought, and none more beautiful can be
found in the banking houses in the eastern
cities.
In a back corner of the room is. the vault,
and here all the resources of art have been
exhausted to make assurance doubly sure.
This vault rests upon a solid foundation of
trick work extending below the floor or the
cellar. The room is handsomely plastered
and coiled, with an ornamental cornice run
ning around. The floor is a mosaic pave
ment formed of diamond-shaped stones, al
ternately white and slate colored. The sec
ond
and third stories .0 re divided into
number of rooms, to be finished in the same
elegant and substantial manner.
On the roof , the point usually most ex
posed in case of lire, the utmost care has
been bestowed to render it proof against the
attacks of the most fierce heat. 'A parapet
wall two feet thick and six feet high extends
around and above. The roof is first covered
with zinc soldered, so ns to be air-tight—up
on that rests a bed of cement one inch thick
and upon that again is a Pavement of fire
proof tiles laid in cement and air-tight. A
trap-door just large enough for a.man to
squeeze through, occupies the centre. The
door is•so arranged us to be air-tight and
fire-proofwhen closed.
The doors and windows are furnished at
top and bottom with thick plates of cast-iron
one yard wide, and imbedded in the masonry.
The sides are double frames of iron, two
feet apart, with brick work intervenine.—
The doors and shutters aro double, with the
same interval of two feet between. They
are constructed of boiler iron one-fourth of
an inch thick, and braced in every direction
with iron bars an inch thick. . IVlten closed.
eight, heavy bolts to each outside door and
shutter fit into sockets inserted in the back
part of the wail, and three iron bars, three
inches thick, are ready to be placed across
each shutter and door, thus preventing even
the possibility of their warping. These ar
rangements for the security of the doors
windows, are perfect. We cannot conceive
hoW they could be improved.
• The front presents a neat appearance.—
High up is a white stone tablet, upon which
In golden letters is the inscription, "Adams
& Co.; 1851." Just over the centre of the
front door a piece of gold quartz, the size of
a, kick, is to be placed,
Indian Cruelty-A Thrilling Incident.
An incident occurred at the Key Bis
cayne light-house during the Florida war,
which is perhaps worth recording. .The
light-house was kept by a man named
Thompson. His only companion was an
old negro man ; they both lived in a small
but near the light-house. One evening
about dark they discovered a party of some
fifteen or twenty Indians. creeping upon
them, upon which they immediately retreat•
ed into the light-house, carrying with them
a keg of gunpowder, with the guns and am
munition. From the windows of the light
house Thompson fired upon them several
times, but the moment he would show him
self at the window, the glasses would be in-
stantly riddled by rifle balls, and ho had no
alternative but to lie cloSe, The Indians
meanwhile getting out of patience, at not
being able to force the door, which Thomp
son had secured, collected piles of wood,
which, being paced against the door and set
fire to, in process of time not only burnt
through the door, but also set fire to the
stair-case conducting to the lantern, into
which Thompson and the negro were com
pelled to retreat. From this, too, they were
finally driven by the encroaching flames,
and were forced outside on the parapet wall
which was not more than three feet wide.
The flames now began to ascend as from
a chimney, some fifteen or twenty feet above
the light-house. These men had to lie in
this situation, some seventy feet above the
ground, with a blazing furnace roasting them
on one side, and the Indians on the other,
embracing every occasion, as soon as any
part of the body was exposed, to pop at
them. The negr'), incautiously exposing
himself, was killed, while Thompson re
ceived several balls in his feet, which he
had projected beyond the wall.
Nearly roasted to death, and in a fit of
desperation, Thompson siezed the keg of
gunpowder, which he had still preserved to
keep from the hands of the enemy, threw it
into the blazing light-house, hoping to end
his own sufferings arid destroy the savages.
In a few moments it exploded, but the walls
were too strong to be shaken, and the ex
plosion took place out of the light-htuse, as
though it had been fired from aiun.
The effects of the concussion was to blow
down the blazing materials level with the
ground, so as to produce subsidence of the
ff•imes, and then Thompson was permitted
to remain exempt from their influence.—
Before day the Indians were oft; and Thump.
son being left alone, was compelled to throw
off the body oft the negro while strength
was left him, and before it putrifid.
The gunpowder was heard on board a
revenue cutter at some distance, which im
mediately proceeded to the spot to ascertain
what had occurred, when they found the
light-house burnt, and the keeper above on
top of it. Various expedients were resort
ed to, to get him dawn ; and finally a kite
was made and raised with strong twine, and
so mameuvered as to bring the line within
his reach, to which a rope of good size was
next attached and hauled up by Thomp
son.
Finally, a block which being fastened to
the Light-house, and having a rope to it, en
abled the crew to Itul up a couple of men,
by whose aid Thompson was safely landed
on lerra firma.
The Indians had attempted to reach him
by means of the lightning rod, to which
they had attached thongs of buckskin, but
could not succeed in getting more then half
way up.—Charleston News.
