Letter 1.
The author, by way of introduction, states
that the facts he now make public, arc not for the
purpose of exciting angry feelings between the peo
ple of (treat Hrl'ain and this country, hut to inter
est tha lnevolent and true hearted in favor of the
unfortunate prisoners in bondage.
He states that he was taken prisoner at the "Short
Hills," and carried before 8fr 'deb. Arthur, and
promised a pardon if he made certain disclosures,
which he refused. In November he was taken to
England, fioin thence to Van Dieman's Land, from
which he escaped through the aid of a few Ameri
can sailors.
lKn our arrival we were sent into the in
terior to work upon the grcat road leading a
crofls the inland, from Molmrt Town to Lntince
town, and remained together for sixteen months
on what is termed Convict Stations
Through the unwearied exertion of tny emi
nent countryman, Joseph Hume, M. 1, who
spared neither time nor money to effect our
liberation and promote our comfort, and incon
sequence of pressing letters from him to Mr.
Iiwrence, a member of the Council, since
dead, wc were for the three lirt-t months pre
served front associating with thieves, robbers,
murderers, and the scum of the jails of Kngland,
but after that wc were penerally mixed with
felons, pardoned or reprieved felons being our
overseers.
Ve were heavily ironed in most cases, an
iron band round each leg, joined by an iron
chain, and employed m digging trenches,
breaking stone, saw ing blocks for pavements,
and dragging stone and timber like cattle, tor
wc had neither horses nor oxen. At the Lone
ly IJant Station, every four of us had u hand
cart, and our task was to haul a load of llint
stone, nearly t cubic yard, a mile, through rain
aid sleet, and return fourteen times a day.
Thus wc had fourteen heavy horse-loads to
draw daily, in all a distance of fourteen miles,
and the cart to drag Iwck the other fourteen
being1 '..'H miles a day, I having fourteen lbs. of
chains on, while our fare was nearly two iouuds
of coarse brown bread, with n pint of water
gruel to breakfast and another to supper, anil
about half or three quarters of a pound of meat
and half a pound of vegetables at dinner. At
night, after eleven hours of severe toil, we
were locked up in miserable huts, and as it is
rainy in winter, wc were often dripping wet,
but never allowed to go near a lire.
One shirt at once was the royal allowance,
and we had Saturday afternoons, and a little
soap allowed us, on which to wash and mend
our wretched garments. When wo took oil
and washed our shirts on S iturdays, we had to
go without them till they dried on Sundays.
Although in the prime of lite, accustomed to
farm work, and strong-made, I have otten been
weary almost to fainting, and never once in
those two tedious years' did I go to bed other
w ise than hungry. During a passage ol four
months on my return to this free land, I fared
very differently in the American whaler, the
seamen of w hich so generouely rescued me,
The punishments to which we were aubjoct-
ed were cruel, and the more so because in
tlicted by pardoned Drilish Felons, rclcastl tor
the purpose, on account of their known harsh
liess and unfeeling character.
Nearly all the American prisoners have been
confined in solitary cells, and fed tor weeks on
bread and water there many of them nearly
dozen of times. The treadmill is also used as
a perswader.
Not a few have been in the chain gangs,
Some aro now al Port Arthur, in the coal
mines ; but the triangles, ever before our eyes,
w as the object of our greatest horror.
With tire exception of the venerable Chaun
cey Sheldon, now ?ti years of age w ho com
manded a troop of horse under (leneral Van
Rensselaer, in the last war, on the frontier, I
scarcely remember one American or Canadian
who has not been flogged by felons, from Iwo
dozen of lashes with the cat-o'-nine-tails, up to
six dozen. The triangles accompany the party
to work, and are made of thice long pieces of
wtsjd set up and meeting together at the top
a ring is run through any of these pieces near
the top a strap is run through the ring and
tied round each w rist of the suflurer, whose
arms are thus extended at their full stretel
ai in cases of crucifixion, his legs are then firm
ly fastened to a cross-bar near the ground
The freeman of the m.-ip world stripped stark
naked, except his pantaloons is then exposed to
the lash of the felon of the oil. The flagella
tor is ordered by the police officer to give two,
four, six dozen of strokes of the heavy whip, as
the case may seem to him to require, on th
butlWer's naked back, who is hen unloosed
from his degrading posture, and ordcied Mistunt,
ly to his woik, whatever it may be.
O, how ardently and ciMnc;.ily como of our
' pnre-hearicd patriot piayeii that the Ul o!
j their fathers, in his puod limo and way, would
i deliver them Jruin U.ii degradation, even if H

were by tin early death on that far distant
shore ! The prayers of some were heard, and
others are fast following to the tomb. A num
ber are far gone in consumption, and according
to the best information I could procure, direct
and indirect, more than half of the political
prisoners, though fine stout men when thev
left these shores, arc now rtiutured and other
wise injured, caused hy hard work, lifting
heavy stones, and hauling heavy loads, in wet
weather, over the soil clay. Even Eliznr Ste
vens, of Iehanon, Madison county, N. Y., a
well built, stout wan, of tine appearance, six
root high, and but twenty-seven years old, is
ulready ruptured, and I'auiel Heustis, one of
the heaviest, stoutest men in Watertown,
though in health, is a walking t-keleton.
I was tw ice tied to the triangles and flog
ged. First, for finding fault w ith our w retch
ed food, and next time for hitting a blow at n
felon-overseer, who, in the mere vvantoness of
pow er, had thrown me violently over a heap of
stones.
John Augustus Swansburg, of Jefferson coun-
ty was six or seven times stripjtcd and tVogged
for being, as they said saucy.
Hiram Sharp, of Salina was flagellated be
cause he would not touch hio cap to the euper-
iiitendeut, an English trans)Mrted felon, and
say 'sir to linn when he spoke. Hut even
after being (logged unmercifully he would not j
touch his cap to him.
Hiram Iiup, of Jellersou county, because he
grumbled or refused to work one cold morning, movements, and endeavor to influence the gov
rather frosty, he having no shoes, was flogged f eminent of the United States in the matter. In
at the triangles ; as was Stephen Wright, son
to a Methodist minister there, because when ; Mr. Stephenson, late American Minister in
sick the IKictor refused to exempt him, and the j Iiidon, w rote from thence, "I see no prolmbil
overseer ordered him to wheel a heavy loaded j ity of relief, except through the intervention
harrow up a palnk, which he failed in doing j
from weakness. A stout felon then wheeled j
up the barrow. Young Wright got six dozen i
on the naked back, and was sent to stone break- j
g.
I.ynus W. Miller, a fine youth from Chauta-
pic county, was fed 11 days on brown bread
and water in a rulilary cell, because he abso- j
lutely refused to do work assigned him on a
Sunday. He offered lo work harder, if possi- j
ble, any other day, but assured his employers
that his education and his principles alike for- j
bade him from performing unnecessary labor j
on the christian Sabbath. '
Owen W. Smith, formerly agent to Smith i .
Merrick, of Oswego, was flogged at the trian-'
gles because he had not loaded our hand-carls j
heavily enough with stones.
Elijah Woodman, formerly of Maine, a mag-
trate, and member ot the legislature, more te-
eently of Uper Canada, where -he had a large
property, has been cruelly Hogged several
limes; and has at various periods been conti-
tied in a solitary cell, and fed on bread and wa
ter. This tine old man has kept a journal of the
whole proceedings of the Hntisli government,
giving its cruelties and crimes in detail, with
the dates and names. And his offence was a
refusal to give it up to Sir John Franklin, the
t iovernor. 1 le wrote on slips of paper, but where
he put those strips the cell and the whip failed
to disclose.
The free emigrant settlers, and not a few-
editors, were our firm friends not so the con
victs. 1 am not a Free-Mason, hot tnany of us
w ere satisfied thai it was a real benefit to us
that some of our number belonged to that so
ciety. In whit way I may now not state.

but had we spoken a word, out turn would have

Alvin Sweet mentions the death ot Evsander
Curtis, of Eyne, in Jefferson county, but he I
docs not tell how he came by his death. The '
particulars are these : j
Curtis was sent to the convicts' hospital in a
high fever, where the doctor told hiiu he was
slumming sickness, hut that should not serve
his turn, and he sent hint back to the station to
hard labor, pulling at the hand carts. Poor
Curtis implored the overseers in the most pite
ous accents, to let him lie on the bare ground,
as work he could not. Hut the overseers msis-
ted, and when Curtis could stand no longer, he
lay down by the road-side, wad carried at
night to our miserable prison and locked up.
Next morning he was taken back to the hospi
tal, where he expired in treat agonv in a fow

The Concord, (Ai. 11.) Statesmen of Friday
publishes a monl singular deposit ion, taken be
fore a justice of the peace at Oration, in that
State. Hrtzeti Whither ami David M. Norris
depose that on the night of June lit, there were
watching at the death of their neighbor Sam
uel Maun, ot North Benton, in a small room,
the situation of which is thus described :
The bed was on the north side, the tire place
on the south side, the disjr way to the kitchen
on the cast, and a door leading into a bed room
on the west end of the room, and a set of drawe
rs on the east sido of the room near the foot
of the bed, and a window by the tixtt, on the
north side. The window was raised from four
to six inches. The door into the kitchen was
ipen, and Mr. George W. Mann slept there in
the south east corner of it. The door into the
bed room was shut, uml Mrs. Peter Howo asrl
Mrs. Maim slept there.
The man with whom they were watching
had been in a dying state for several days, but
appeared to have perfect pousession ot his senses.
Viler the house was still on Sunday night, the
.lejiosilion goes on to say :
Air. Witeher was standiirg by the foot of tire
bed, close to the open window, and Air. Norris
was sitting south of the bed some four or five
ces from the head, on the west side of the
room. The caudle was standing on the man
tel, over the fireplace, when we both distinctly
heard a groau. We are both positive it could
not come from the sick man, norlhcucd where
on he was, nor from another room. It was
deep, lengthened groan, and btartled lis
both.
Air. Whitcher stepped 1 1 the tire place to
get the light, to sew what the noise came from,
or w hat caused it. As he took Iho light and
turned around to vard tlm bed, we both fawthe
room lighted np all al once, w ith an unearthly
crimson colored light. It almost extinguished
the li'ht of the candle, so that its lirrht was
very feeble, apparently almost out and im
mediately we both saw a strange looking man
standing between us and the bed, looking ap
parently at Mr. Mann his dress we cannot
aeserioe, uis wnoie race we out not see. i lis
clothes were dark, hot we cannot give the
fashion or make, nor say whether he had on
boots or shoes or fiat, or not.
We were both Ratisfixed both stood there
side by side, as Norris had risen up, Whitcher
still holding the candle in his hand and in tire
in the tire place, at least none "that gave any
tight, and bs the strange man stood before us,
his back toward (is, and his face toward All
Malm, Mr. Maun appeared much excited and
agitated ; he rolled on his bed, and threw his
arms about and opened his eyes wide open,
and appeared frightened end to gaze upon the
apparition, then lie tried to cover op his head
The sick man it is stated, then declared that
he l.lul forty years previously assisted his cm
ploycr in murdering a man and making away
with his body. He mentioned the name of
Edwards, bill in what connexion the deponents
cannot say. The affidavit then goes on :
l!exa!led no oilier name, and we may be
mistaken in this name, but think we arc not,
He then snnk down, and alter turning oVcr nirce
or twice, and throwing disarms about and groa
ned and died. We know We were frightened
afid crntld not speak, or did not, nor did the strati
gcr, and as soon as Mann had Finished con
tossing and was dying away he (the siren
gcr) was gone. How he got in or out, we
know not : one door was open but we did not
see him come in or go out, nor can we believe
that he did.
1'he editor of the Statesman in connexion
w ith the uflnlavit tells the follow ing story.
About forty, or forty-five years since, (we
tell the story as toll us by individuals in the
vicinity) a man by the name ofllodgdon was
working in liindaft, N. II., as a joiner. The
last voason he was there, he finished ot! a house
'or Jonathan Noyes, and made his home with
Mr. Noyes during the time. He lent Noyes
Some two or three hundred dollars in money
so that when the house was finished Noyes was
indebted to him about four hundred dollurs,
for labor and monev. When Noves's house
was completed, he went to work ujion a huuse
for Air. John (iross, in the ieiiuty, his clothes
and part of his tools still remaining at Noyes'
house.
Ho left Gross's house one evening to go up
to Air. Noyes's and was never cevn alter thut
time. Homo little excitement existed there,
(a the old people ay) at the tune, respecting
his mysterious disappearance, but aa he was a
etrungcr iu a measure, it was said he had ab
sconded, and Noyes soon alter pretended to
have received a letter from somew here in New
York, requesting him (Noyes) to sell his
(I lodgdon's) tools, and other things, and send
the money on to him, which he accordingly
did, but whether the ptoreeds of the wle w ent
to New York or any where is not known.
The excitement, however, Boon died away, and
nothing tnoif was taid or thought about it un
price of aivi:ktisi.;.
