Capture of Brig VoluSfa,

Captain John w. Disnav, late of Brig Vo-
lusia, Of Baltimore, arrived at Holiness Hole
in brig Boston, from Bahai. He states that
he was captured on the I'd July on the S.
w. coast Of Africa by II. B. VI. steamer Rat
Tier, ON the plea that the V. was fitted for the
slave trade and that her papers were forged.
He sailed from Rio Janeiro on the Cd Nav,
but having been damaged IN gale, he put
into the island Of Victoria, on The coast Of
Brazil, from which port he proceeded to the
coast OF Africa with n cargo Of farina, beans,
rice, lumber, jerked beef, pork, and liquor,
and seven passengers. The British comman.
der puncered the Volusia Of every Thing.
and also deprived the captain and mate Of
their nautical instruments, and after wards
ordered The brig TO St. Helena, where she
was condemned. Capt. Disney states that
he made his case known to Com. Gregory,
OF U. S. ship Portsmouth, but he refused 10
aid him. Capt. ID. says h. was engaged in
a lawful voyage, having regular papers, and,
IT so, he has been most unjustly treated, and
his case is another among the many agrees
sions which the British hnve made on our
commerce OIL the coast OF Africa.

Cambridge Reyielle.


The very gentlemanly editor of this sheet is in
ribe rage because have said what again repeat,
that the Wings Of the fourth Congressional district have
not yet dared make issue with Mr.. Julian the
Fugitive Slave Law. Not single Wing paper in the
district has defended the actthe Wings who voted for
it, their Wing President who approved it. The New
Castle Courier spoke of it as Infamous" The Rich
ond Palladium excuses the President for approving it
on the ground that the exercise Of the power is
whig. The Centrevile Wing is opposed to the
law vet avors its execution whilst it is in force The
Cambridge Revicle thus defines the position Of the
Wings of that district:
Their position in this matter is summed up in Just so
many words long laws remain in iorce-which,
cordng t. theory OF nment the majority APP
proves-a good citizens bound Weld either passive
active obedence and they oppressive and unjust
in their operation let them be repealed when the proper
time arrives for action"
Now we never minated that the Wings Of the fourth
district were in favor of open resistance If under
stand their position, they FOR the repeal modfca
ton Of the law. Mr. Julian and his friends for the
same Now where is the difference. If the editor of
the Reviee is opposed to change in the law. let him
say so, and will rejoice than we WILL to see
him take that noble and independent stand which has al
ready been taken by several of the Wing papers in Ind
ana, and which will be taken by the President in his
forthcoming message. What meant say, and
what mean to say now is that expect in the next
contest in that district, struggle between Mr..
Julian and his whg competitor TO who shall 90 far
thest in opposition to the law We have no sympathy
with Mr. Julian but when the contest comes the Wings
pursue such policy, hope Mr. Julian with all
his abolition heresies succeed. We hope are now
understood That is the extent of partnership with
Mr.. Julian
We and will condescend reply the per-
sonal abuse which the article contains But must
tce the following statement Speaking of the editor he
says.
"This is the same Brown, that in March, 1S49 re.
signed the office of first clerk in the Post Office Depart
ment, and put in circulation the infamous false
hoods in reference to General Taylor for other pur
pose than to create sympathy at home"
This same Brown never held the Office of first clerE
in the Post Office Department" He was the Second
Assistant Post Master General That Office he never
resigned but removed on the eighth Of March, 1S49
the records of the office will show On this subject
there need be controversy. Let the editor ask Mr.
Hail. the Post Master General for copy of the resig
nations and it will be forwarded if such paper any
thing like it, is on 6le This will be an easy mode t
make good his assertion The editor of the Sentinc
never complained of his removal. He always justified
both General Taylor and Mr.. Colaner The Office i

filed by friend of the administration.

committee on printing, except Capt Mlroy.-C0r Lo-

We had good reason to fall with them The Jour

law Of the State We have expressed opinion about
that matter and the writer probably knows what we
think about it. As to the committee on printing we
think they made very outrageous report but they did

they would do. They were men who ought to have
known better and did know better. But they ap

complain Of such committee and OF such report.
Take it AL in ALL outrageous, hgh-handed, and
uniustable act comm tied by any legislative
body anywhere in our humble Judgment, than was the
action of the Convention in the printing caseStates
We think the above includes Capt. Mroy, as well as
the rest of the committee and is foul calumny
upon honorable men, The Editor the Publisher Of the
Sentinel never spoke Capt Broy the subject He
introduced the resolutions he informed yesterday,
for the purpose of settling disputed question The

ion was afterwards sustained by two-thrds Of the Con-
vention. But the Auditor says, 'tey appointed

never had word of conversation with him the sub
ect of the printing, and did not know his views, the
time the committee was appointed. The fact is the
Convention decided the question every body expected
they would decide; but Ellis is following the example
his illustrious friend Col Benton. He is appealing
