KINDNESS OF A PORTUGUESE cAPrAIN.-The fol-
lowing letter has been transmitted to this country
from the American consulate at Lisbon. 1t is a
suitable expression Of gratitude on the part of an
American captain: ~ t.,..
AT SEA, 10Th March, 1886.
Mr.. VEsEY, American consul at Lisbon:
DEAR SIR wish to represent to you an act OF hu-
manity performed by Portuguese captain 10 ship
wrecked Americans, hoping that your influence may
obtain for him the honorable notice which such
duct merits. The ship Ceylon, Of and for New
York from Newport Wales, foundered at sea 4th
March, 1886, and the captain, (myself,) wife, and
one child, and crew composed of seventeen per
sons, were compelled to take to the boats On tho
Ilth March, having then endured great prlvauons
and dangers, we were fallen IN with by the Por'u-
guese brig Vesta Capt. Joas da Costa Neves, OF
and for Lisbon from Bahia, 81 days out, who was
at the time short Of provisions for himself and crew
not withstanding which, and the small size of his
vessel (l27 TONS he took on board without hesi-
tation and during the eight days we have remained
on board has treated with the greatest consdcra-
ton and kindness, sacrificing his own comforts 10
ours and promoting our convenience by every
means in his power. | hope such conduct in for.
eigner towards .amtrieans in distress, will seem to
vou as the representative Of our country at Lisbon
worthy of notice. and be assured, dear SIR that any
| aid can give towards such an object, would be
cheerfully and gratefully rendered. We have this
day fallen in with ship Windsor Castle, Of Boston,
for New Orleans, who will take ss off, and therefore
this communication (though necessarily imperfect
and hastily written becomes necessary on that ac'
count; otherwise was in hopes that on arrival al
Lisbon, should have an opportunity OF seeing you
and making you better acquainted with the e'rcum'
stances. ~ He. d. af aar 7w .a

"The Potomac arrived off this port from Norfolk,

"The distracted and impoverished condition of
this country, taken in oonnexion with the declara-

"Gen. Almonte, who has recently been appointed

Of the I'd inst. On his arrival at Vera Cruz, it was
thought that a revolution would have taken place,

FRoM THE CHEROKEE ECoUNTRY.-W heeler Taught,
Cherokee, was hanged at Tahequah about the first
week in April, for the murder Of Takatoka which
he is said to have confessed duplicating also five OF
the STAIRS, two other Indians, and a white man,
Madison Gerring.
Another Cherokee named Barrow was convicted
the same week Of conspiracy to overthrow the con-
sttution and laws Of the nation by system of rob-
berry and MURDER and sentenced to be hanged on the
9th. The conspiracy" is said to have been extern
sve and of long existence and the murder Of Taxa
toka was one Of its incidents. The STAIRS are ac-
cused Of having taken leading part in it.
The Advocats says:
"The extent to which vainy is carried on in the
western country, is really astonishing. Circum-
stances have long indicated the existence of nu-
merous band of thieves and murderers but urtil re-
Gently, so perfect is the organization little nothing
of positive nature has been known Of their opera
tons. But from certain revelations that have been
made within a short time past, we are induced to
believe that skilful management would succeed in
bringing the whole affair to light, and in exposing
many Of the persons who belong to this association
"For years past large number Of horses and
mules have been stolen, and successfully run from
their owners; and more recently several negroes
kidnapped and taken off in the same manner The
chain Of villains engaged in this nefarous business,
and by which several men have been murdered and
robbed, is composed Of whites and Indians, and
probably extends from Texas to certain parts of
Missouri, passing through Arkansas, and the Cher
okee and Choctaw country" .a.

REV. ABISHAI SCOFIELn.

We promised last week to give some ex-
ed criminal, as the Presbytory has decided
him 10 be, but which defence he was pre-
vented making before the body which sat in
judgment upon him.
And yet it cannot be denied that this sin
has existed, in all lis ~enOrmiiies, unrebuked
in the Presby terrain Church from that day to
this. Yes, in the Presbyterian Church 1; for
not walking with which 1 am now arraigned
before this P~resbytery. An iniquity has been
tolerated for almost thirty years, that by their
own declaration, is utterly inconsistent with
the laws of God, and totally irreconcileable
with the spirit and precepts of the gospel of
Christi" This, their own records abundant
ly show. In 1884, the synod of Kentucky
appointed a committee of ten, TO bring in a
report on the subject of Slavery, which was
to be read to all the Presbyterian churches in
the State. Hear what they say. Brothers
and sisters, parents and children, husbands
and wives, are torn asunder and per-
mitted to see each other no more. These acts
are daily occurring among US. The shrieks
and the agony, often witnessed on such &C.
c~asions, proclaim with a trumpet tongue the
~iniquity and cruelty Of our system. The
cries of these sufferers 90 up to the ears of
the Lord of Sabaoth. There is not a neigh
borhood, where these heart reudinP scenes
are not displayed. There is not a village or
road, that does not behold the sad procession
of manacled o~utcasts, whose chains and wo-
full countenances tell that they are exiled by
force from all that their hearts hold DEAR
