John CLARK, an American seaman, who
had a good haher protection, and was sto
len from the ship Maine, Of Portland, in
the year 1905, has just reached this place
for the purpose of seeing his parents and
friends, after NINE long years slaUerey
on board a British man of war
Mr.. Clark states, that on board the Sal
Uadore de Mn1do, a, from which IL made
his escape, there were five .1mPy1cans !;
three of whom he names as follows MIR.
- Li56ey, of Gray, (Ma) had been on
board about 2 years, MIR. Charles Morris,
who had been eigM yeGrs, on board had a
wife and family in New York state. Mr..
- Whitney, Of Maine, young man of
bout 2S years of age, had been in slavery
abot 10 months The other tEgo he does
not recollect.
How degrading these things appear, when
we contemplate upon the principles we have
swore, as a nation, to defend. If we profess
20 be Americans, we must shield those Hber-
HeS which arc our natural right and if those
aggressionsare submitted to then have we
lost the character of freemen and become
bound slaves to a tyraht
IfMr. W'right's bill passes the senate, eve

stealing IS in future to be considered by oui
government as piracy and tetoHy--and the
perpetrators, upon conviction, TO suffer
death.

News! which is this moment received -
Caracas, the first province of Spanish A
merica which raised the standard of insur-
section, on day the most grand and so
lemn that Christianity celebre.es, viz on
Holy Thursday a D. 1910, has Just suffer-
ed the most disastrous and lamentable fate
on the same day in the present year. Holy
Thursday, at A O'clock I'm the Afternoon, be-
gan tremendous Earthquake oflong dura-
tion, which was repeated several times. de-
ml0lishing all che houses of I.aguira, except
the custom-house, which was rent into
chincks. The greater part OF the walls and
Notifications are tumbled down, and the re
mainder open and rendered useless, have
left the place defenceless three -fourths of
its population having persisted and buried
or wounded amidst the ruins. The Church.
es, which were crowded with people, fell
and crushed all within them to death of
the prisoners in the rooms and vaults, only
two escaped; the garrison, consisting of
800 soldiers, entirely persisted, except
| men. The city of Caracas has been total
! ly destroyed, not solitary ediice having
escaped, there being lost above u, 600 per-
| S ms. In the town ofMacuta. not more than
two were left alive: in Maiquetia the same
has happened; so that, until we can acquire
circumstantial news, we may reckon $4,000
the number lost in Laguira, Caracas, Ma
cuta and Maiquetia.
| We have no information from Valencia,
| Porto-Cabeiio, Cumausl and Barcelona but
i; was said, the two first had, without doubt
experienced similar Earthquakes. The
| loyal and faithful Province of Coro, as well
| as Maracabo, suffered the same shocks on
that very day. but fortunately neither hou-
scs nor inhabitants received the least harm,
and they follow their pursuits without alter
alton. Thus God requitcs-rewards the
good, and Furnishes the wicked.

the ground by the Orangemen; they first
covered the timber with tar, and then ser it
on fire. 1t was totally consumed. The
grand jury of the county resolved to rebuild
it at the expence of the county, bur the judge
