Captain wendelps amiable wife and family, in
this city. during the period of his imprisonment,
were in state of the greatest unhappiness his
count Mrs. Wendell wrote to the Consul; and he
in the most brutal manner either turned deaf ear
to her prayers and entreaties, or wrote her false
details Of the part Of her husband cal
cuated to torture her feelings upon the tenderest
point. Nothing probably, could exceed the cold
booded brutality of the Consul in his reply Mrs.
Wendell on the 18th Of September unless it was his
consummate hypocrisy, in pretending to regret his
share Of the transaction, of which he the prime
and sele mover instgator and supporter; although
he know that Capt Wendell had family depending
upon him for support and rendered wretched by his
absence and protracted Imprisonment In tropical
climate, during the months of July, August and Sep
TENDER, and where it was more than probable he
would fall victim to disease, if not to mental
misery.
Capt wendelps wife applied to the Department at
Washington Cor redress but only received dilatory,
cold unfeeng replies, and the documents connected
with the were detained for three months
in the Office Of the Secretary of the Navy, and the
President was kept in ignorance Of them. At last,
on the of the Boston at Havana less than f5S
hants and ship aptans ad dressed remonsrance
against Trst 10 Capt. Rabbit; the latter asking
the Consul for information the subject, Mr.. Trist
grossly insulted him, and told him the AFFAIR had
taken np so much Of his time, that he should devote
no more to it, and then stigmatsed the sgners of the
petition as sneakng knaves and contemplate scoun
drels. He had previously acted towards the second
mate Of the Kremlin and the crew precisely as the
disgraced Consul at Martinique, Peyton Gay, did in
the matter that caused his removal; he tempered
with them, harbored Them ordered the second mate
give them their discharge upon pain Of his dsplea-
sure and probable imprisonment. He defended Bell,
the first mate, in allhs bad conduct-alowedh him 81
per day whilst he in Havana-and finally con-
nived at his escape from justice. Such are the sim
pie facts of Capt Wendells case. Insulted, Cypress
ed, imprisoned in foreign land, and in sckly eli
mate far from home. and wife and children. And
shall his unjust oppressor go unpublished! Shall ne
be allowed to retain that office which he has dgrac
ed? Shall the man who, of all others, was bound to
sustain the honor of the American Gag and the inter-
ess Of American commerce, be allowed to Insult and
iniure both with imp~nity, Forbid it humanity for
bid justce forbid it the glorious institutions ofthe
land we love and live in!
THE RAIL RoLp TO BUFYALo.-The facts. and
statements which we have given Of the continuous
line of Rail Road, through Albany to Buffalo, are
beginning to produce proper effect, throughout the
state. The spectators of Wall street, who have
tried to silence the public voice this subject, be-
cause they had engaged in the baseless visions Of
the Erie Rail Road through the southern counties,
are beginning discover that is not easy to de-
eeive the public as they imagined Nothing is more
certain than that Boston, during the winter, will take
all the trade Of western New York, unless a Rail
Road be constructed from Harlem to Albany, through
Westchester and the River counties. The Bati-
more and Philadelphia Rail Roads only many
extensions of ours This is the centre and termna-
ton; but Kali Road from Boston TO Albany, with
out one from New York. would tap US indeed!

CONVICTION or. McKENzIE.-We know nothing
that has caused greater qualification to the public
mind here than the conviction aud punishment of
the agitator Mckenzie. For nearly two years past,
he and his associates have been to create
a quarrel between this country and England, through
the unfortunate state Of things in Canada. These
convictions under the neutrality law, will have
greater effect in pacifying the border and putting
an end all further sympathy, than all the procla-
nations Of the President backed by both the govern
