The Chinese Junk and the EmancipatOrs,

The Chinese Junk and the EmancipatOrs.
A contemporary tells a good story about the
Chinese Junk and the Abolitionists, which,
whether truth or romance, is SO admirably il
Illustrative Of the meddling prOpensities cfthese
gentry, with other peoples business, that we
are tempted to copy it:
"The first rush that was made on board the
Chinese Junk, after its arrival at this port, was
by a party of native and meddlesome abolition
lists, who ~contrive to get up an excitement in
this city once a month or so, the year round.
"The tender sympathies Of these philanthro-
pists are in proportion to the color Of the OBJ
iects. Thus a starving white mar exci,es
their benevolence much less than a lusty well
fed negro.
GAN they knew or wished to know in regard
to the Cinnamon, was that they were of a pref
ty dark yellow. Their sympathies were excit-
ed and down they went to Castle Garden
Capt. Kellett was astonished when he was
charged with holding SO many Of his colOred

it was of no use. They were cOlored-ant

"You must let the n go fTee,'' said the aboli
%tionists, "or we will take them all by the law
"YouIl take them9 Well Tll give you TWEEN
ty dollars apiece to do SO, for | am under bond
to send them home again"
"This did not satisfy the abOlitionists, how
ever, and they had an interview with KeysinG
the mandarin. He listened attentively, Will
they explained to him hat they were comm
to set him free, and send him by the 'undeI
ground railroad to Canada'--where, said they
you will be freemen under the laws Of Eng
land"
"No sooner had the proposition been mad
to send Them into the British dominigns, tina
there was a row on board, which il required a
q the influence Of Capt. Kellett to quell; und
: the abolitionists had not made a rapid retre'
from the Junk, some Of them would have bee
n offered up a sacrifice to Josh"

"THR UNTERRFIED."-1he Holly SpringsGa-
zette says a personal rencontre took place at
Salem, on the 18th inst, between Robert Josse-
lyn and Jacob (Censure) Thompson. The par
~ticulars are given as follows;
1.-THE affair as we learn, originated thus:-
MIR. Thompson, who spoke first, claimed to have
the office Of Assistant COmmissary in the
army for Mr. Josselyn, which he had resigned
in order to run against him, (ThomPson) for
Congress-thus endeavoring to make out a
case of imgrGttude ON the part Of Mr.. ~Josselyn
In reply, Josselyn stated that he had it from
authority, that Thompson, so far from wish
ing to procure the Office for him, had endeav-
ored 10 get it for his brother, Mr. William
Thompson Of the Lafayette Volunteers. ThomP-
son here interrupted %Josselyn with the remark
that it was "false'' or Va base talse-hood,'
whereupon Mr.. J~osselyn struck Mr.. ThomP'
son.
The parlieo were separated without serioui
injury being done to either.

We give below the letters BY which the edi-
tor of the Bulletin fixes clearly upon Judge
Walker, Of the Delta, a participation in the dis
reputable hoax connected with the letter of
"Leonidas." 1t is the most disgraceful trans
action for the press Of the city that has occur
red in many years. The scheme was conceiv-
ed in %iniquity and carried through by unscru-
pulous means and repeated falsehoods. From
the evidence before US we deem Judge Walker
the principal in the disrePutable affair, and we
denounce him accordingly. This individual
has but recently entered the ranks Of the edi-
torial profession. Since his permanent con-
n%ec.ion with the Delta its tone has been mani
testify altered, and paltry personalities have be-
come staple in its composition.
For Mr., Joseph Grant, the accomplish in the
fraud, we have no feeling but that Of ineiable
contempt.
The following are the letters to which We
made reference in the outset:

pies Of the letter addressed to you on Thurs

you exhibited to me, and also the manuscrip
which you assured me and others, you held l
the handwriting Of Mr.. Walker, Of the para
graphs purporting to have been extracted fror
the letter of Leonidas.
The turn which this affair has taken, ! hop
will convince you of the propriety Of this rC
quest, and that it will be promptly compile

New ORLEANS, Sept. 81, l847.
Dear Sir; Agreeably to your request, yes
terday handed your note to Mr.. Joseph Grant,
who stated in reply, thatin consequence of the
tenor Of your editorial of Saturday, in which
his v~eracity was doubted, he must decline CIV
ing q written answer. That he had assured
you on Friday, he had in his possession, the ex-
tracts alluded to in the handwriting Of Judge
Walker, and that he had received them from
him as genuine--thai if you were hoaxed he
was also-which assurances, he thought, rught
to have protected him from the severity ofyour
editorial. That he could not give up the orr
ginals, as he must necessarily keep them for
his own protection, but that he would cheer
fully show all the documents and letter alluded
to in your note to me, which he did, and all
which / read and recognised to be in the hand

The editors Of the Picayune say they have
thoroughly examined Mexican papers, from
the 5th to the 10Th September, in which they
find the most rancorous and determined war
spirit breathed against the invaders Of their
country. We find in that paper the ~transla-
ton Of several Mexican documents, from
which we learn that 10 Of the Irish Battalion
were hung on the heights Of "King's Mill,'
and to "six others who proved that they had
not volunteered, but been impressed, they gave
two hundred lashes each, and compelled them
to dig the graves of their companions" The
account further states that Capt. Riley, after
being hung, was beheaded, and his head Plac'
ed on a pike and planted at Churubusco. This
IS the Mexico account. : YIcksbwg Wing.
