SERGEANT JASPER

At the commencement Of the rcvolu-
'ionary war, Sergeant Jasper enlisted in the
u. cond south Carolina regiment ofmlantry,
commanded by Col Mouhrir. He distin-
gaishrd hlmselim a particular manner, at
tae attack which was made upon Fort
Moultrle, on Sullivan's Island, the cath OF
June, 1875. In the warmest part of the
contest, the flagstaff was severed by can
non bail, and the flag fell to the bottom Of
thej;ch on the outside of the works -
This accident was Considered by the onx
ious uhabitants of Charleston, as putting
an end To- the contest, by striking the Anne
rlrau ilsg to the emery. The moment that
Jasp'r made toe discovery, that the flag
had fllcn, he jumped from one of the en-
brasures and mounted the colors, which he
tied to a sponge staff, and replanted them
o. the paraee,, where he supported them
until another flag staff was procured. The
subsequent activity and enterprise of this
patriot, induced Col. Moultrie to give him
a sort OF rowing commission, to 20 and
come MT pleasure, confident that he was al
ways useiully employed. He was privi-
lodged 10 select such men from the regi-
ment as he should choose to accompany
him ia his enterprises. His parties consis-
ted generally of five or SIX. and he often re-
turned with prisoners before Moultrie was
appraised of his absence. Jasper was dis
tlngulshed for his humane treatment, when
an enemy fell into his power. His ambi-
ton appears to have been limited to
the characteristics of bravery, humanity and
usefulness tothe Cause IN which Ire was en-
gagged. When ii was in his power to kill,
but not capture, Il was his practice To per-
mt "A single prisoner to escape. BY his sa :
gacity and enterprise, he often succeeded
In the capture ofthose who were lying in
ambush for him. In one of these excur-
slons, an instance ofbrAv.ry and humanity
rs recorded, by the biographer Of Gen. Ma
ZION, which would stagger credulity, if il
was not well attested. While he was ex.
amining the British camp at Ebenezer, all
the sympathy of his great heart was ava
kcnei by the distresses of Mrs. Jones
whose husband, an American by birth, had
ken the Kings protection, and been con-
fined in irons for deserving the royal cause.
alter he had taken the oath Of allegiance
Her well founded belief was, that nothing
short ofthe life of her husband would atone
for the offence, with which he was charged
Anticipating the awful scene of beloved
husband, expiring upon giblet, had excited
lnexpressible emotions Of grief and distrac-
ton.

Confirmation orthe Splendid Yictory Of The
Greeks.

New YoRK, Oct. l9.-Although we ne
yer doubted for moment that the ac-
counts, which sometime ago reached this
country of the glorious triumph of the
Greek patriots over their barbarian oppres
sors, would be substantially confirmed, we
have found it necessary, from time to time,
TO expose the vile attempts of that corrupt
press in Europe, which never fats to dis
guise the truth when the cause of liberty is
concerned, and to laud the atrocious deeds
of the most abominable despotism in the
world, provided 1t gluts its thirst for blood
under the banners of legitimacy" The
instance which we gave yesterday of this
policy, pursued by the ministerial press Of
Paris and Vienna, is only one among a
Thousand which could be offered, and
which ought 10 have the effect of put
ting us at all times IN our guard as. to the
intelligence conveyed through these chan

IN SENATE


The Senate took mp the amendment of the
House OF Representatives to the bill granting
20 Inc States OF Missouri, Mississi .;p, and A
iaband, three per cent. of the nett pro.
| cceds of the sales of public lands in thos.
states, aSreeably 10 the acts for their adn,s
sion into the union, which amendment pro
poses that before any part of the 8 per cent.
| be paid 10 those states, the amount due to
Georgia and the Yazoo claimants, under the
fazoo compromise, (about 50, 500, OOO,l shall
iirst be deducted therefrom.
Mr.. WALLER of Alabama, spoke at some
length against this amendment conteudino
that 1t was not competent for the government
OF the United States, consistently with the
compact formed with Alabama, in the act for
ner admission into the Union, 10 impose any
such condition on her portion Of the nett pro-
ceeds, and that II would violate that compact
absolutely and expressly. To support this
opinion he reviewed the conditions annexed
To the other new states, as well as Of Alabama.
and adduced a number Of arguments TO sl,cy
that the government did not possess the pow
er to touch the fund sci apart for the state far
specific purposes, by compact. He argued.
also, that this amendment went even further
IntreIatIon TO Mississippi, than was consistent
wan the provision. on the subject in the act
which admitted that state into the Union. ard
was utterly inapplicable and Unjust in relation
to Alabama. He concluded his speech by
moving to strike out all that part of the a.
mendment which applied to the State of Ala
bama.
Mr. EATON moved to refer the amendment
to the Land Committee, for them TO ascertain
the existence of the facts stated by Mr.. WAL
KEB, agreeing, il that gentleman were correct.
the amendment Of the House of Representa-.
dves would be improper.
After few remarks by Mr.. KING of New
York, IN favor Of the commitment, and Mr..
WALLER;
The amendment and the bin were commit
ted as moved.
The Senate then resumed, in committee ofI
the whole, Mr.. DIcKEasON in the chair. the

House, was then read third time.
Mr. ARCHER, OF Va. rose, and said he had
proposed t0 have taken the occasion of the
passage OF this bill to have presented to the
House some views Of the matters connected
with Florida, aud having avowed TO several
members this intention, he thought it proper
to state why he forbore. He perceived that
the members were exhausted by the sttings
OF the House and, from other Indications. he
found that the sense of the House was clearly
against the commencement of debate on the
subject In Difference TO this seDtment. he
waved the right, which he had intended to
have exercised, of declaring his sentiments :
and he hoped the House would appreciate the
motive by which he was actuatrd.
The question on the passage of the bill was
then taken without debate, and carried with.
out opposition. The bill has to go back to
tue Senate for concurrence 10 the amend
ments.
The bill concerning the commerce and ma
ylSatinn of Florida was read third time and
passed.
a message was received from the Senate
announcing the disagreement of that House
to an amendment to the bill granting certain
