Topping prisoners that had been Given up for execution into the bands of be my and grinds by the English and French authorities or what is the same thing they took no measures to prevent the ruthless butchery of those they Lent Timeir Aid to capture when horror How am i to describe the dreadful scene or will it Ever leave my memory among these wretches were Young and old of both sexes and of All Ages and sizes from the infant recently let Orn to the Man of eighty tottering on his staff from Tho Enceinte woman to the Young Maiden from ton to eighteen. The latter were pushed out by the guards among the crowds of ruffians assembled and wore taken into the Sheds and by places and Debauch of and again dragged Back by the hair of the head to Tho chinese guards to await their turn for exe. Cutill a some of them Hud fainted and Wero pulled along the ground to the execution ers who threw them on their backs Tore off their clothes arid ripped them from Tho lower part of the Abdomen to their breasts which wore Cut off and dashed with a Curso in their faces. The bowels As a matter of Courso gushed out but the out was in such a Way and so skill re ully and with such expert Ness that the it Stines wore Seldom injured. After a Long time in this Stato of excessive torture a he executioner thrust his hand into the Chest and Tore out the revoking heart his victim looking him in Tho face nil the while. A Young female apparently about eight months pregnant who never uttered u groan or sigh All the previous cruelties she Hud endured from the surrounding mob had her infant Cut out of her womb and held no in Hor sight by Oue a fits Little hands bleeding and quivering when at the sigh she gave Ono heartrending piercing screech that a would have a ice cd pity in a Tiger and after it had Boon in that Stato dashed in her breast she with a last superhuman in Effort released her arms from those holding her Down and clasped her infant to her bleeding heart and died holding it therewith such Force that they could not be Separ Tod and thus thrown together on a pile of other carcasses. Another Young woman among the prisoners awaiting her turn to to Diso bowled with a Fine boy of ten in synths old crowing and jumping in Hor arms had him snatched suddenly a away from Hor and Flung to the executioner who plunged his ruthless knife into his Lender breast before the Mothorp a eyes. Infants but recently Horn Wero torn from their Mot Liers breasts and dose bowled before their laces. Young Strong men Wero mutilated and the parts Cut off thrust into their own Mouths or Flung among the admiring and Lang big crowd of chinaman. But no More i an write no More of these scenes i can now Only regret for Vert Bat i looked on the dreadful sight. I am no longer fit to be a Soldier. 1 have been in Many Battles during the last Twenty years and in the Tai Cost of the fight in most of them where the Fago and thirst for carnage is dreadful to reflect on afterwards but nothing heretofore that i have seen or heard of or even read of could be compared to the dreadful cruelty of this disembowel ing execution. May god forgive Engi and for the part she is taking in this War and May Tho sin of the enormities Bho Lias assisted in perpetrating on the defenceless women and innocent and helpless child lie removed from her door and after Tho treatment English women and child Ron Mot with from Tho hands of Tho Blacks in Tho sepoy Mutiny it is truly wonder Fol that englishmen should join in or Conn Cnance similar atrocities Here. It is now ascertained to n certainty that b. And his companions alter having been tortured in every Way that chinese ingenuity and urn sky could Defibo Wero afterwards mutilated and Diso bowled by the Impe Riali Lih and for that reason the chinese authorities would not produce their dead bodies. Poor who came with me Tosen thu execution fell town in a fainting fit and was in that state carried away and is now a raving maniac from Tho effects the dreadful sight Hod on to the poor african.

At Norfolk a Short time ago a Drunken now York Reg North which threatens the of the Blacks in that Section. A fierce mobs attended with much violence and Good shed have already broken out in the tip of the no Thorn cities and the end ensued state of foil which prompted these Otra Ges in daily increasing in strength. Mean while the leaders among Friend of the Blacks do not lies Iau to Declaro their Devilish purpose to sacrifice them for their own safety. That Archiba Oil zionist had Stevens of Pennsylvania avowed in a a Jet a ech to Tho Lincoln House of representatives last month that he wished the Blacks placed in the Northern armies to Servo As living breastworks to the Yankee soldiers from the Southern bullets so that the Northern White troops could Only to reached through the bodies Fly lil Ifilio a a of the Blacks. It May be questioned indeed whether the miseries of this War will not after All be most heavily visited by the Northern incendiaries upon the misguided and deluded Blacks who run to them or Are captured by them. It is part of the duty of masters in exposed localities to explain these matters to their ser vats and warn them against suffering themselves to fall into the hands of the Federr is is not Only to be subjected to severe labor bad treatment and unwholesome food Bat to ran into Groa t peril of their Telegraph. The custom of wearing mourning for on in Plant read ought it to be continued 1 during the american revolution Congress having no Power to make Laws frequently Rocomio Nenrod such Mas bios As wore deemed proper and conducive to Tho Public welfare. Or. Green in his autobiography remarks that a no Law passed by a legislature nor any Mandato issued by a despotic Sovereign of a received a More prompt strict and Universal obedience than these recommendations of Congress. He alludes especially to two instances a to forbear entirely the use of first India teas and to discontinue All expense in mourning beyond the wearing of a piece of Crape on Tho would if not be Well for Tho Confederate Congress to renew this last recommendation ? Whon so Many households throughout the South Are called upon to mourn the loss of dear ones the custom of wearing mourning adds greatly to our expenditure and detracts to that extent from durability to maintain this unequal struggle. It is unnecessary to remark that such goods ure now. Very scarce and costly and Many arc compelled in Obedi Eneo to custom to make sacrifices which they cannot Well afford. Let Tho wealthy classes Sot the cd Suipto in this respect. On Gallant dead who poured out their life a blood in Domenco of our Liberty will be none the less remembered.

No general on Earth could make head against such a coup do Guerre. If Mcclellan had stood his ground and fought in such a position nothing in Tho world could have prevented the utter annihilation of the army of the Potomac. That he saved the army against such Odds and under such circumstances Anil that he has been Able to place it upon a now base of operations from when he May renew his it tack upon the rebel capital with increased chances of Success affords such proof generalship of few living soldiers can .

The following is said to to Tho salient Points of the speech of Hon. Charles a. Wickliff of Kentucky at the late Indiana state democratic convention i come Here upon the invitation of your citizens not to advocate the claims of any candidate for Northern office or of any party but to advocate the cause of our country. It is our duty to maintain the Constitution first and Settle our accounts afterwards. this Kentucky and Indiana arc ready to pour out their men by thousands of men. This Mast to pro Ervid and saved from the violence of Quot the South and the male factions of the East and you Are the Pebulo to do it. The people must come up with the Constitution and the Flag in their hands and say this Union must be preserved but to will not spill our blood to entry out Tho principles of any sectional party. It has Boen charged by the Republican party that slavery caused this War and that ii Lancry must to extinguished before we can have peace or quiet in the United states under on a resent Constitution. In july 1861, both looses of Congress by a concurrent Resolution resolved that was brought about by a sectional party South without justifiable cause that to waged it on our part to maintain Tho Constitution preserve Tho Union,.restore Poco. And to protect each Stato. That declaration was adopted immedi Atchly after our reverse at Bull run. We appealed to Bho patriotism of the United states to carry out their Resolution and that As soon As Tho Union was Rost Rod Aud Tho Laws enforced the Viar was to close. Was not that held out you ? yes yes did any Man dare Tell you then that this War should never close until slavery was extinguished and every slave emancipated ? no no now we have it As the cry of Tho abolition party. Tho abolition party have swallowed the to publican party neck and heels. The conservative portion of the Republican party have not kept the Faith. 1 put them to Tho record that when we who Wero called conservative men democrats and whig Sot the old school Como to the Rescue As conservative men they came Liko Little to peeps sheep. A a we be could no to find what was the cause of this War ? a Yon must Havo been told that and you Are not far from right. Slavery was just As much the cause of Tokoi warns the Aea out in the Boston Harbor was the cause of that War. Tho cause of the War was the unhallowed ambition of Tho representative men of the South who saw their seep Tro departing and the abolitionists of the North. They concocted the scheme Between them and i have p roof before me. We have two things to do first to put Down the rebellion and next to punish the leaders. You must throw the abolitionists Over if Yon want to save the Union. A Leopard is known by his spots and if you want to know Tho abolitionist look at the record of Congress. I will Tell you what caused the Robelton. It was a contest for Power. The South wanted a government for itself and the Paiit one separate for the Nigger. It would have been no difficult task for the Union conservative men to have conquered a peace had they United. If Twenty millions of freemen cannot put Down six millions without arming a the niggers let them get of t of the Way and the conservative democrats old Lino whigs and some republicans will do it. Your love Joys Phillips and Greeley say they Oun not fight this War any longer unless you will Arm the niggers. Will you Ever consent to this dries of a no never a i have already said that slavery was not the cause of the rebellion now i am not hero lode end that institution. Know that it is expensive. I hav Boen practising Law for forty years and All that i have has been spent in feeding and clothing my negroes. suppose to Hea Lovejoy talk that the Constitution was for Tho express Benefit of Tho negro race and not for the White Man. If the framers of the Constitution had intended that the Nigger should stand equal with Tho White Man and enjoy Tho same rights and privileges they would have a a id so. It was Tho White Man that engaged their attention and deliberation. Away with such trash. Toll Lovejoy when he talks such stuff to talk it to Tho niggers if he i Oasis but to Jot the White Man alone. V. A. F i Call upon col. Richardson to toll you which had Tho greatest regard and concern and which occupied the attention of Tho late Congress most the government or the Nigger. Nine tenths of the time of the session was occupied in Rofe Ronco to the interests of the negro rack. Even the president and Secretary Chase Havo gone into the business of working negroes. They Havo forty one agents Treasury rats i Call Theraz some Call Tjom overseers who Are superintending the raising of Cotton at port Royal. They Are under a Man named Pierce who has Hie stamp of abolition on his forehead. If to Are not Able to Maii Tinin the a Quot a ovo Romont we Aro Unwor citizens of the United it by the secessionists and abolitionists that is undo the pretext for saying that slaver is the cause of the War and therefore they Havo a right to Tase my slaves and to say that this War shall not cease until slavery is abolished. If they violate the Constitution so far As to take my property without due process of Law How Long will. It be before other provisions of Tho Constitution will to ignored to Sorvo their ends the Constitution with its prohibitions its guarantees and its restrictions has been no More regarded by the party now in Power than you do a last years almanac. The president has now proclaimed the confiscation of the property in eleven states and some were disposed to insist that the proceeds should be applied to pay the debts duo Tho North by the South. That Ldoa has however Boon abandoned the proposers of it becoming ashamed. Aro you Lor a War that is going to take the property in slaves and confiscate it Aro you willing that four million slaves shall to set free ? Aro you i ask for such a War do you want these negroes to come on and compete with your Whito labourer no no i am for a White Many a War against the abolitionists. What is to become of those negroes Whon they Aro set free ? How Many do you suppose Are now fed and supported by Tho army ? not. Less than 30,000. I saw the Day i left Washington two Hundred and filly negro Wondu and babies captured by Gen. Mcdowell brought into Tho City. This was the result of six works operations of Mcdowell s army of 60,000 Moti Only to dirty a five Miles from Richmond. Tho policy of. The government and of our generals has thrown us Back one year in putting Down this rebellion. It has compelled the necessity of Tho president calling 300,000 More men. To got them under his former Calls for upholding the Constitution. I Hope he will got Thorn no w. In conclusion let to say one word. Lay aside in this struggle Quot that party strife heretofore demanded and unite upon this ground that this Union and this Constitution must be preserved and maintained and let the negro take care of himself and if you want Tomt done to Send any More abolition mom Bors to Congress. When Tho War is Over and peace is restored i Hope to will have a fort Warren then in which to incarcerate Tho leaders both North and South. God bless Kentucky and Indiana. A a United to stand divided to Camp notes. A letter from near Richmond to a Southern paper says to saw Gen. Loe on the Field the 27th of june. To have hitherto spoken of the personnel of the general. He seems a Little older than when we saw him at Coosaw Latchic. Then be had a moustache alone now to has in addition greyish Beard a month old All Over his face. Seated on a log in a slight Shade having a map upon his Knees plainly dressed in uniform with Only one Aid at hand to looked the same self possessed to noted before of great then in execution of his masterly and Gigantic scheme of the greatest Battlo of modern times. We saw Stonewall Jackson during the same Day. He is perhaps forty years old six feet High medium size and somewhat angular in person. Yellowish Grey eyes a roman nose Sharp a thin Forward Chin angular brow a close Mouth and Light Brown hair. a sullen unsocial and to some extent unhappy look. He is impassive silent emphatic and we venture obstinate. His dress is official but very Plain his Cap front resting nearly on his nose. His tall horse diminishes the effect of his size so that Whon mounted be appears less in person than he really is. President Davis was also on the Field. His Plain suit o Brown and citizens dress generally screened him from Inch observation. The postage Stamps give a very Good idea of his face. Gen. Longstreet while on a March one Day inquired of us Tho who readouts of our division general and while we were answering his inquiries we had an Opportunity of observing Ono of the handsomest generals in the Confederate army Iii full american whiskers Long Brown and neat his steady genial and Earnest Oye a his Fine and full forehead his Greco roman nose and regular Mouth All these presenta tout ensemble rarely equalled in mainly symmetry and chastened Energy. Gen. Magruder is one of Tho hardest men to describe that we Liao encountered lately. To impresses one As Gruff abrupt in a Way jocular decidedly Headstrong rudely kind . To saw him first on his Way to superintend the storming of the fifty gun Battery on the Malvern Hill a Tbs strongest position on the Peninsula. That to would keep his oath i after doubly binding him in this manner under the just idea,.no doubt that Yankee Faith is very hard to fix Tho Confederate dismissed him to his marbles and his tops and perhaps to better behaviour. We understand that the Yankee general was himself greatly amused at his songs adventure and praised the Confederate boy for his enquirer. A legend of st. was the son of a physician. To was preparing himself for the calling of his father. One Day he came to his father and said a a father let to go into he cloister and arvo but his father said a 11 Thon Doest Well to wish to Servo god. As a physician thou Mayest serve him and thy fellow Raen a a to serve god is. Better than to serve Man a answered Arnn lab. _ a Spray this Nigut for gods guidance o my son. To Morrow i will do As thou Arnulph went and prayed to god to receive him As his servant. And his Oyez were opened and Lonn Angel whose hands were full of roses. A a behold a said Tho of Gol a a Tho offerings of those who Servo a and can i offer him anything a asked Arnulph. A a to Here in my left hand is by offering also a said Tho Angel. Arnulph asked again. A a Why Are the Rosos in thy left hand scentless ? those in thy right hand Aro full of but the Angol answered. A a in my loft hand Are their offerings who Servo the heavenly father but care not to serve his children. In my right hand Are their offerings who serum. God and Servo Man this is Tho legend of st. Arnulph sur named Tho holy Prophet. Compensating the Soldier. We do not speak of compensating the Soldier for the Many sacrifices be has on behalf of Tho South or for Tho Many trials and hardships to has endured in the cause of Independence that we Are Well aware is impossible Butts comsto us that common Justice requires that Tho monthly compensation of the priv to Soldier should a a we a m to rat Sti of acid have Brou my urn the or be placed on something like a Equality with the prevailing prices of Tho country. The government now pays eleven dollars per month and fifty dollars per year comm Nta Tion Money in lieu of clothing and one can see How totally inadequate is this compensation to meet the requirements of the times. Evoy at the North where a the Porta Are open and everything except Cotton and common honesty can to had in abundance the private Soldier receives two dollars per month More than is paid to Tho sold Foi a of the confederacy. There Are no doubt thousands in our army to whom the salary is no object but there Are still Othor thousands with families dependent on the uric of their hands and of although they Havo not joined the army for the Sake of the pay it seems rather hard that a Man should be compelled to serve a month in the army for less than would buy his wife a pair of Slioch or procure a Hundred weight of flour. If he wishes to Purchase a pair of shoes and a uniform for himself about six months pay will be required to effect the Purchase so that by the time his own imperative wants Are attended to he has very Little to Send Home for the maintenance of his family. We can hardly look for such an increase of pay under the circumstances As to enable to soldiers to support i her families of Well As Thoy could have done had prices remained at their old Standard and they must necessarily to a very great extent depend upon the private charities of the moneyed men of the South but while every one prices it cannot be amiss for Congress to increase the pay of private soldiers to at least fifteen dollars per month. To do not know that Tho soldiers Havo asked it a but it the services of congressmen Are Worth to Tho country two Hundred and Twenty Nino dollars per month those of Tho soldiers cannot certainly be Worth less than fifteen. Ono of two things should to done and at once either soldiers and their families should to enabled to Purchase necessaries at prices resembling those which ruled a year ago or provision should be for increasing the compensation of Tho Soldier to such an extent that it will Bear something like a it reasonable proportion to the prices now demanded tor every article of necessity and of luxury. To Hope Congress which is soon to meet will give its to this subject a Mont. Taking the oath. We have a Good Story on the Best authority of the manner in which a Confederate boy of about ten years of a Codiac county turned the tables on a youth of about his own ago Tho son of a Yankee general who administers in that county. It seems that Tho Yankee general s son Ball. An Tho time Gen. Banks left Tho Valley to evade the hot Pursuit of a a Stonewall Jackson Throe Yankees went to the farm of or. Crane sheriff of Jefferson county and demanded a Favorito horse. Or. C. Refused to comply with the demand when the thieves went to the stable and took Tho gentleman deter without a i tudors.
