GENTLEMEN, —I have been so strongly urged by gentle runt resident in all parts of your Division to allow myself to be put in nomination as a Candidate for the honour of a seat in Parliament for the Northern Division of this County, at the approaching Election, that I feel it to be my duty to yield to their wishes. My family are no strangers in this county. It has been their good fortune to represent both the county and its capital in former Parliaments, and I hope it may be consi dered natural on my part to aspire to an honour which they were proud to enjoy. I am no party man ' but I approve generally of the Foreign Policy of the present Government, and am prepared to give to Lord Palmerston's Administration an independent support. I am a sincere member of the Protestant Established Church, and shall always oppose any measure which I consider would be detrimental to her interests. I should be willing to receive favourably proposals by which the difficult and vexatious question of Church Rates could be brought to a satisfactory arrangement; but I, should refuse to consent to any which should involve an unconditional abolition of them. N°. 22,706. agree to pay the sum of £l9 per Share on Allotment; and I authorise you to insert my name on the Register of Members for the number of Shares allotted to me. Usual Signature Name in full Residence Profession Date . ~ 1865. I am warmly attached to the Agricultural interests, and should use my best endeavours to alleviate those burdens which unduly oppress them. I should support any measure for the reduction of thell present duty on malt, with a view to its ultimate repeal. I am desirous that the Naval and Military Establishments in this country should be maintained in a high state of efficiency, as the surest method of preserving peace ; but I believe that, without losing sight of that object, reductions might be safely effected in both branches of the service, which would lead to an increased economy in the National Expenditure. Should the nature of the opinions I have expressed meet with your approval, and the honour of representing you in Parliament bo conferredupon me,my best energies shall be devoted to your service.—l have the honour to be, Gentle men, your obedient servant, _ _ HENRY ST.

Temporary Offices—Nos. 17 and 18, Cornhill, E.C. This Coliapany is incorporated for the purpose of supply ing, under circumstances peculiarly advantageous to the Shareholders, the great demand for wharves, sites for manu factories, ship-building yards, and graving docks within the port of London, which the natural increase of trade, combined with the removal of existing water frontage by the formation of the Thames Embankment, and other mo tropolitan improvements, has created. Tho Company is incorporated by a special Act of Parlia ment passed last session, by which is obtained power to acquire a large tract of land at Millwall, consisting of up wards of 198 acres of freehold land adjoining the East and West India Docks. This land will be rendered available for the purposes above-mentioned, by the construction within its area of large docks or basins, with access for the largest vessels both from Blackwall • and Limehouse Reaches ; so that the deep water frontage thus created by the works will become immediately valuable in tho highest degree for wharves, granaries, manufactories, ship-building yards, and similar purposes ; and, from the water being always kept at high level, the saving of time and cost in all operations of lighterage, loading and unloading, which may be effected without respect to tides, will render this site far more valuable than land abutting on the Thames itself. _ _ Tho proposed works will also include the construction of public Graving Docks of the largest dimensions, capable of receiving vessels of even greater size than H.M. iron clad ship Warrior, and of accommodating H.M. frigate Northumberland, now building of the premises of the Millwall Ironworks, immediately adjoining this Company's property. It is a remarkable fact that for the immense mercantile fleet of the Port of London there is but one public graving dock on the Thames of sufficient capacity to take in a vessel of even ordinary dimenSions. All the other graving docks are in the hands of private builders, who require to execute the works and repairs themselves ; and it is therefore not unusual for ships to be sent from the Thames to Southampton, and even to Liverpool, to be docked for repairs. From the circumstance of the area proposed to bo occu pied lying on an average about ten feet below high-water mark, tho works will be executed with unusual facility, the material excavated being used to raise the adjoining land to a convenient level above high-water. The main roads which traverse the site of the proposed works afford good access to them ; and application is being made to Parliament in the present session by the Black wall Railway Company for an extension of the Blackwall and North London Railway systems, by which direct railway communication will be afforded for the whole of the Company's works, wharves, and docks with the entire railway system of England. As a Land Company, the present undertaking has enor mous advantages from the unusual ample powers granted by its special Act of Parliament, by means of which it - will become possessed, after appropriating about 56 acres for the Docks and Graving Docks, of upwards of 140 acres, with a water frontage of more than 10,000 feet, and from 400 to 800 feet in depth—the whole of which, on comple tion of the Docks, will become immediately available for lotting, on building leases at freehold ground-rents. Be sides this source of revenue, estimated to produce upwards of £50,000 per annum, the Company will also derive a further large income of about £40,000 per annum, the rents of the Graving Docks, and from dues and charges from the docks, basins, wharves, &c., making a total estimated re venue of £90,000 per annum. In calculating the estimate of dividends very much will depend upon the mode found most practicable in dealing with the income of the Company ; if the ground-rents should be capitalised and sold as they accrue, and taking thorn at thirty years' purchase, it is estimated that within a period of five years the capital, including the ad ditional amount intended to bo applied for to complete the works, will have been repaid, with a bonus of upwards of 75 per cent., and the revenue of the docks and royalties and dues still bo available for dividend to the Shareholders ; should, however, the whole rentals and revenues be main tained in hand, a dividend (after providing for expenses, interest on debentures, &c.) may fairly be looked for at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and, when it is considered that the greater part of this is from freehold ground-rents, the valuable description of the property this Company pos sesses will be at once apparent. The Directors have much pleasure in being able to an nounce that the whole of the works will bo undertaken by Messrs. Belk and Aird, the eminent Contractors, and that a contract for the first portion to be executed has been entered into with them, and arrangements made for the payment by them of interest during construction of the works at the rate of '6 per cent. per annum on the Share capital paid up by instalments, and of 7 per cent. per an num on all Shares applied for and allotted as fully paid-up Shares. The interest will be payable at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s Bank, half-yearly, on 31st March and 3 0th eptem ber in each year. The first payment will be made 30th September, 1865. It is believed that so sound a scheme, and one which so specially addresses itself to the investor, is seldom brought before the public. Tho basis of the enterprise being free hold land and ground-rents removes from it all character of speculation, so often the leading feature in public com panies ; and as a British and home security it will doubt less bo appreciated by those who, while expecting good profits upon their investments, yet look for solid security. An accompanying plan shows the whole of the works as proposed when complete. Copies of the Act of • Parliament and plans may bo seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. Applications for Shares in the accompanying form may bo made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company ; or to the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England (Limited), 17 and 18, Cornhill ; also to the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), 95, Bishopsgate-street Within; to the Blinkers and Brokers; but no application will be entertained unless the deposit aka per Share on the number applied for has boon duly paid to the Company's Bankers. In the event of no allot ment being made to the applicant, the deposit will be promptly returned in full. 28th March, 1865. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR £5 PAID SHARES.

Skirlaugh Squire and Slyfox continued racing side by side round the bend after passing the Stand, but rising the hill towards the Dring houses Skirlaugh Squire took a clear lead.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHELMSFORD SPRING MEETING-TUESDAY. The second attempt at holding a Spring Meeting at Chelmsford has been most successful, notwithstanding the counter attractions of the York and Lichfield gatherings. The attendance on Galleywood-common included most of the notables connected with turf pursuits. The sport pro vided showed a decided improvethent on that of the last anniversary. After the miserable weather of the past week, a bright sunshiny morning gave promise of a pleasant afternoon ; but the after part of the day was cloudy, and a raw cold wind prevailed. Sport commenced with the Trial Stakes, and the talent wore fortunate in selecting for favourites the first pair who passed the post ; but Mr. Ten Broeck's luck to-day at this meeting found no exception, and Fordham landed his colours by the shortest of heads. The Two- Year-Old Stakes introduced a flying filly by Fitz-Roland, who overthrew the pot on Ambition. The Cholmer Han dicap was a second blow for the followers of favourite; as neither Earl of Surrey nor Grace Darling could make a semblance of a race with Greenland, who ran clean away from the lot, and won in the most hollow manner. The other events are fully detailed below : The Trial Stakes of 5 sous each, with 40 added; two-yr olds, Gst 71b ; three, Bst 101 b ; four, Oat 121 b ; five and upwards, 10st ; maiden and selling allowances.

Betting-2 to 1 each agst Lytham and Troublesome, 4to 1 agst Regina, 6 to 1 agst Anadyomene. The lot ran in close order till approaching the distance, where Lytham and Troublesome showed slightly in ad vance, and after an exciting finish tho latter won on the post by a head; threw lengths divided the second and third. Anadyomene was fourth, Pam be Civil fifth, and the un-named colt last. The winner was bought in for 170 guineas.

Mazurka, with Fickle and Acrostic, held a slight lead to the distance, where Ambition and the Fitz-Roland filly came away, and finished an exciting race, which ended in favour of the latter by a head ; four lengths divided the second and third ; Mazurka was fourth ; and Acrostic fifth. The Belhus Selling Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 40 sovs added ; weight for age, with selling and other allow• ance. Half a mile. Mr. J. Wood's Noilgherry, 5 yrs, Bst 71b (£5O) . (J.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Thais, sto 2 agst Neilgherry, 4to 1 agst Gauntlet, 10 to 1 agst the Promised Land filly. A most tedious delay preceded the start, and upon the flag being lowered Neilgherry jumped off with the lead, Thais in close attendance. The latter challenged within the distance, but never quite getting up, was defeated by a head ; Gauntlet was a bad third, and the others passed the post in straggling order. _ The winner was bought by Mr. J. Beado], for 150 guineas. The Chelmer Handicap, of 25 sovs each, 15 ft, with 100 added; winners extra. One mile and a half. 44 subs, 20 of whom pay 5 soya each.

After going about 200 yards, Greenland took up the run ning and went on with a clear lead, Earl of Surrey follow ing, at an interval of several lengths, Grace Darling next. Rounding the turn into the straight Earl of Surrey gave way to Grace Darling; but the lot being in difficulties, at the distance Greenland increased his lead, and won, hard held, by .20 lengths; ‘Jevington was third, Dun kohl fourth, and the others, pulling up, walked past the post.

The weather through out the afternoon was indeed fine, but a wet and bleak morning had deterred the us ua l pl easure - see k ers f rom ven turing away from Paris. The running proved most unfor tunate for the favourites, as in each of the events accidents —and in two cases of a serious nature—befel them. The business commenced with a race for half-bred horses, in which Turfaldin, from his recent performance at La Marche, was preferred. At the Irish bank, however, he fell, throw ing his rider (French) heavily, whose collar-bone was broken in the fall. Jason, who was considered as the second-best, having thus got rid of his most formidable antagonist, had the race almost to himself, and won without difficulty. The gentlemen riders' race followed, bringing out a small field of three starters only. With riders of an equal force Magenta would, we doubt not, have stood at the head of the betting, but the known experience of Mr. Roe, who rode his mare Vixen caused her chance to be considered by the ring as preferable. But after crossing the double water-jump Vixen put her foot into a hole, and, falling, rolled over her master. Mr. Roe was taken up insensible and carried to the Imperial farm, where he shortly after recovered, and was found happily to have received no other injury than a severe con tusion on the head. The race terminated by the victory of Valentino, very cleverly ridden by Count d'Evry. This result was the more creditable that Baron Finot's horse gave four pounds and a year to Magenta, while the latter had beaten Valentino over nearly the same distance on the previous Sunday, giving him six pounds, and at La Marche the Sunday before, when M. Lavign6e's horse carried eleven pounds more than Valentino. The Prix de l'Ad ministration des, Hares was looked upon as almost a certainty for Egmont, notwithstanding a penalty of 201 b., to which he was subject for previous winnings. He was run ning well at the finish, when he fell in jumping a hedge and broke his neck, thus bringing his racing career to a close. The accident is greatly to be regretted, as he was reputed one of the best steeplechase horses on the Continent. His stable has been particularly unfortunate, as Maritana, be longing also to Viscount de Cunchy, broke her back by a similar accident at La Marche last spring. After the acci dent to Egmont, Astrolabe, who was far ahead of the rest, won easily. Subjoined are details of the day's proceed- ings : The Prix de la Ferme of 3,000 f. (2,500 f. to the winner and 500 f. to the second). For hall-bred horses, 4 yr-olds, 5 yr-olds, and 6 yr-olds, bred in France. Entry, .£sof. ; 20f forfeit if declared.

Gougeon's two, 3 to 1 agst Jason. Maurepas and Geralda led, with Jason coming third un til disappearing behind the plantation. On again coming in sight the two leading horses had fallen, back, and Franc- Normand with Jason appeared in front, Estime lying close up. On ascending the hill to the fort Jan got a good lead, which he kept to the end, winning easily by three lengths, Estime beating Franc-Normand for second place. The Prix du Donjon of 6,0001., for homes of all countries, 5-yr-olds and upwards. Entry, 2001.; 50ft if declared. The second to receive I,ooof. from the entries, and the third 400 f.

The 001120 position wag maintained while going BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY. Speculation this day was again important. For the Northamptonshire Stakes, John Davis, Skeffington, and Hartley were steady, but the principal feature ih connec tion with the race was the support awarded to Swords man, who opened at 20 to 1, but closed at 100 to 7 (taken freely). .Dreadalbane was heavily backed for the Two Thousand Guineas, and at the Nish had the call of Lid dington, 4 to. :1 being accepted about. , 4 l3reaklalbane, and offered against Mr. Merry's colt.

PUTNEY, Tuesday. Contrary to general expectation, and in defiance of an ugly mist that hung about the river like a pall, and gave a taste of ague to the shivering bystanders, at a quarter to six on Monday evening the Oxford men turned out for their first breathings on the metropolitan course, and in a paddle from Putney to Chiswick and back tried how they liked it. They were accompanied by Mr. G. Mor rison, who did his work in the saddle, and again, with his stentorian tones, aroused such echoes as happened to be in waiting for him. By way of compliment, two eights of the London Rowing Club followed at a respectful distance ; and so, as far as the wretched, depressing weather would allow, the river assumed a dull air of gaiety. When the Oxford crew came back they seemed a trifle blown, stroke showing unmis takable signs of having gone "hotly" to work. The occurrence of a dies non, so far as rowing is concerned, may account for this. To-day the word of command was given for half-past three o'clock (just before high water), and the crew, in a spin over the entire length of the course, were to afford the cognoscenti a chance of seeing what kind of " form " Oxford really possesses. Of course, like Napoleon on the Alps, and the little boy who was backward in his grammar, they were stopped " by the elements," for at half past three a hail and snow storm of a pitiless, wet-you through-and-through-in-no-time character, ending in heavy rain, made rowing a madness. The morning had been bright and sunny ; the afternoon was winter in. its worst aspect. It was enough at any rate for the writer of this article. He jumped at the not unreasonable conclusion that, as men gifted with ordinary caution, the Oxford crew would not go out in search of rheumatics and pulmonary disease. In this, however, ho was disappointed. There was a lull in the rain, hail, and snow storm, and taking advan tage of it the crow came out gallantly, pulling with every appearance of improvement upon their first effort. It may be safely asserted, however, that Oxford has not sent us such an exceptionally fine eight as she did last year. We could hardly expect it, perhaps, when we consider that the stroke of last year is out of the competition. There is the old dash and " go" in their free, high action; but the " vis" does not seem so complete as it has been for the past four years. Much has been said about Mr. Brown's (stroke) rather elaborate way of falling back, and it must be con fessed that in this respect there is room for alteration, if not improvement. At the same time, there is an un doubted vigour in the "drag ;" and a man's style of rowing may by any radical attempt at correction in this way lose much more than it gains. One thing is greatly in favour of Oxford. The crew will have nearly a double allowance of practice over the actual course, and there will therefore be plenty time to alter and amend, where -alteration and amend ment may be necessary. That they preserve the traditions of their success; in other words, that they maintain the lofty, bold stroke, which has hitherto been in such forcible contrast to the lower and more studied stroke of Cambridge, is a favourable feature of their aquatic training. Cambridge, however, may take heart of grace this year. It will not have quite so difficult a task set before it as on former occa sions, when Oxford has gone right away, and left its oppo nent to make the best of a bad defeat. Indeed, the Oxford crew of this year looks marvellously like a Cambridge crew, such as the Cam has of late sent us; and therefore if the Cantabs can improve only a little upon their customary form, they may set the balance right on the Bth proximo, and be able to credit the light blue colours with the same number of victories that now go to the account of the darker tint. Reports from Cambridge, however, are not of that thoroughly cheering character which would authorise san guine predictions. The crew does not please everybody, and there is a notion that the bow side of the boat might do a little better in the way of quickness and precision. Still everything points to an open race, a contest about which there can be a fair division of opinion. Oxford would scarcely have the advantage in the betting but for the prestige of a quadruple success, a four years' tenure of the " proud position," and when the Cambridge crow " come to town," it is more than probable that prestige alone will not keep things of a speculative nature as they are. There will most likely be takers at "evens," and the "point" now existing may disappear. One fact is greatly to the disadvan tage of both crews, and that is, the weather. Could not Ad miral Fitzroy do something to make the arduous open-air work of these gentlemen a trifle more pleasant ? A little less Boreas and Pluvius would be highly accept able just now ; while an approximation of the atmo sphere to a few degrees above the freezing-point would be thankfully received by gentlemen waiting their turn on a muddy river bank , or sitting patiently in aneight oared cutter, with only a thin textile fabric between the wind and their nobility. Perfect training and great care only can keep men thus exposed from the penalties of which this inclement season has been fruitful. However, what is bad for one crew is bad for the other ; and so, though the glass may point to anything but "fair," the competitors are fairly placed as to foul weather. Tho Ox ford men, after their first paddle on Monday, exhibited a very proper appreciation of the unfriendly elements ; their rapid resort to the thick outer jersey being especially notice able, and greatly to their credit as judicious athlete. It may be remarked that Putney always shows itself awake to the gravity, or rather tho life, of the occasion, the early arrival of the Oxford crew on Monday being duly acknowledged by a display of bunting that gave the north wind something to vent its humour upon. At the head-quarters of the Oxonians mine host of the White Lion hung out the triumphant insignia of dark-blue with his customary cele rity, and the welcome without was supplemented by a busy devotion that proved the substantial welcome within. Put , ney is never so well pleased as when the two shades of blue tinge, as it were, the house-fronts and the pavements, and give the whole place an air of University life in flannel undress. Could not Putney, however, do something to wards making its river a little less like a dismal swamp, or a slough of despond, in which men wade ankle-deep in mud ? By way of improvement, it would appear, a mass of loose spongy rubbish has been cast down on the tow-path in which those who wish to follow the progress stick at starting. Add to this, snares in the way of chains and ropes across the pathway, and loose boulders of a limestone cha racter to trip up the unwary, and it will be seen that a voyage from Putney to Hammersmith -bridge on the Surrey shore is :a pilgrim's progress of no pleasant nature.— Herold. CAMBRIDGE, Tuesday. Our crew rowed in their new boat for the first time ;res.- terday, and wont to Clay House. To-day they rowed from Clay House to Ely, a distance of 13 miles, returning to Cambridge by train. To-morrow (Wednesday) they will go down by rail, and row up to the railway bridge at elms - terton, about 10 miles, _mid as there are 13eyeral good 1941 .I\l T.;= sp2*. Li reaches over this course there Will be many opportuni ties afforded them of testing their pkers of endurance and lasting qualities, as it is considerelr-.by_Matiy that__ several of the men are too fleshy, and are.Wtt Yfauffifi ciently trained to endure the labour of aifour-mile race. Their rowing is rather clipped, but the time and :swing of the bodies are cortainlY more perfect than that of Cambridge crews of the past year or two. They did not row on Saturday, on account of the University Athletic sports, so that the Oxford gentlemen had not an opportunity of seeing them ; but a few stayed here till yesterday, and having seen the crew, expressed their ad miration of their precision and style, but thought they were very short in stroke.

RETALIATION IN WAR, The Richmond papers publish the following cor respondence between Generals Sherman and Wade Hampton : "Headquarters, Military Division of the Mississippi, in the Field, Feb. 24, 1865. Lieutenant-General Wade Hampton, command ing cavalry forces, C.S.A. " General,—lt is officially reported to me that our foraging parties are murdered after capture, and labelled ' Death to all foragers.' One instance of a lieutenant and seven men, near Chesterfield, and another of twenty, near a ravine 80 rods from the main road,' about three miles from Feasterville. I have ordered a similar number of prisoners in our hands to be disposed of in like manner. " I hold about 1,000 prisoners captured in various ways, and can stand it as long as you ; but I hardly think these murders are committed with your know ledge, and would suggest that you give notice to the people at large that orgy life taken by them shall results in the death of one of your eroia4eManres= "Of course you cannot question my right to forage on the country. It is a war right as old as history. The manner of exercising it varies with circumstances ; and if the civil authorities will sup ply my requisitions, I will forbid all foraging. But I find no civil authorities who can respond to calls for forage or provisions, and therefore must collect directly of the people. I have no doubt this is the occasion of much misbehaviour on the part of our men, but I cannot permit au enemy to judge or punish with wholesale murder. '• Personally I regret the bitter feelings engen dered by this war ; but they were to be expected, and I simply allege that those who struck the first bow and made war inevitable ought not, in fairness, to reproach us for the natural consequences. I merely assert our war right to forage, and my re solve to protect my foragers to the extent of life for life.—l am, with respect, your obedient servant, " W. T. SHERMAN, Major-Gen. U.S.A." GENERAL HAMPTON'S REPLY. " Headquarters, in the Field, Feb. 27. "Major-Gen. W. T. Sherman, U.S.A. "General,—Your communication of the 24th inst. reached me to-day. In it you state that it has been officially reported that your foraging parties were murdered' after capture, and you go on to say that you had ' ordered a similar number of prisoners in your hands to be disposed of in, like manner.' That is to say, you have ordered a number of Confede rate soldiers to be ' murdered.' " You characterise your order in proper terms, for the public voice, even in your own country, where it seldom dares to express itself in vindication of truth, honour, or justice, will surely agree with you in pronouncing you guilty of murder if your order " Before dismissing this portion of your letter, I beg to assure you for every soldier of mine ' mur dered' by you I shall have executed at once two of yours, giving in all cases preference to any officers who may be in my hands. "In reference to the statement you make regarding the death of your foragers, I have only to say that I know nothing of it ; that no orders given by me authorise the killing of prisoners after capture, and that I do not believe that my men killed any of yours, except under circumstances in which it was perfectly legitimate and proper they should kill them. " It is a part of the system of the thieves whom you designate as your foragers to fire the dwellings of those citizens whom they have robbed. " To check this inhuman system, which is justly execrated by every civilised nation, I have directed my meh to shoot down all of your men who are caught burning houses. This order shall remain in force as long as you disgrace the profession of arms by allowing your men to destroy private dwellings. " You say that I cannot,•of course, question your right to forage on the country. 'ltis a right as old as history.' Ido not, sir, question this right. But there is a right older even than this, and one even more inalienable—the right that every man has to defend his home and to protect those who are dependent upon him ; and from my heart I wish that every old man and boy in my country who can fire a gun would shoot down, as he would a wild beast, the men who are desolating their land, burn ing their houses, and insulting their women. " You are particular in defining and claiming war rights.' May I ask if you enumerate among them the right to fire upon a defenceless city with out notice ; to burn that city to the ground after it had been surrendered by the authorities, who claimed, though in vain, that protection which is always accorded in civilised warfare to non-comba tants ; to fire the dwelling-houses of citizens after robbing them, and to perpetrate even darker crimes than these—crimes too black to be mentioned] " You have permitted, if you have not ordered, the commission of these offences against humanity and the rules of war. You fired into the city of Columbia without a word of warning. After its surrender by the mayor, who demanded protection to private property, you laid the whole city in ashes, leaving amid its ruins thousands of old men and helpless women and children, who are likely to perish of starvation and exposure. Your line of march can be traced by the lurid light of burning houses, and in more than one household there is an agony far mote bitter than that of death. " The Indian scalped his victim regardless of sex or age, but with all his barbarity he always respected the persons of his female captives. Your soldiers, more savage than the Indian, insult those whose natural protectors are absent. " In conclusion, I have only to request that whenever of my men disposed of,' or terms appear to be synonymous murdered,' for lia t v h e e any with you, you will let me hear of it, in order that I may know what action to take in the matter. In the meantime I shall hold 56 of your men as hostages for those you have ordered to be executed.—l am yours, &c., " WADE HAMPTON, Lieutenant-General."

Gray Meek, Esq., editor of the Belle- Ant (Pa.) Watchnum, was arrested by the military autho rities and dragged from his home in Centre County to Har risburg, where he has been thurst into the common guard house among disorderly soldiars and deserters, without even the common comfort of a bed to lie upon. What are the charges against Mr. Meek we know not. We presume, however, that he has offended softie of the minions of the despotism that now rules with a rod of iron over what was once a free people. That his entire innocence of any crime will be made to appear we have not the slightest doubt. We know him well, and a purer nature or a braver spirit than that of P. Gray Meek is not to be found in the State. He is one of the ablesfand most fearless writers Pennsyl vania. We are sure he cannot be long kept in custody. The day for such infamous outrages must speedily pass awa y.--Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer. I
