from the home correspondent Of the Republic of

There seems to have been n potent reason for
Captain lngrahams readiness in acceding to the
arrangement which placed kossta in charge Of
the French Consul, instead Of insisting on his
unconditional restoration to liberty Private
letters from Smyrna, written by eye-witnesses
OF the entire transaction, state that when the
hour arrived at which Captain Ingraham was
expected to commence his attack, Kossta was
placed in n conspicuous position on the deck of
tAe Austrian; the muzzles Of two loaded mus
kets were placed to his head, and Captain In
graham was given to understand that the mans
brains would be blown out simultaneously with
the fire Of the first gun from the St. Louis

CLAIMS oE THE CoIoEED VErFRANs.-FroIn
the Washington Star of the 10th inst. we select
the following:
Since writing on this subject fthe claims for
bounty land due the coiored veterans of this
eity) yesterday, We have taken occasion to look
further into it, aud have satisfied ourselves that
Mr. Wilder, OF New Orleans, the agent who
presents the claims, obtained the information
on which he based them legitimately and
properly. That IS, not from Government re-
cords, but from data within his reach in New
Orleans. This fact entirely exhonerates all
Government employees from the suspicion of
using tin this connecticut their positions, ac-
corded for i different purpose for that Of hunt
ing up grounds for demands upon the Govern
ment practice which has prevailed more or
less in Washington, to the manifest injury of
the public service, as we'll as greatly to the
scandal OF gentlemen in public employment here
who properly appreciate their whole duty to
the respective trusts imposed upon them
In the list Of claims tor service in this bat
talon which Mr.. Wilder has presented, we un-
derstand that there are large number Of per-
sons whose names are not to he found on anv
record or roll IN the Governments possession
which in itself affords ample proof that they
were net originated in Washington. By-the-by,
we hear that the facts in these cases were ascer-
tanned principally through the "reminiscences Of
the war times lu hgW Orleans still fresh in the
memories ot many gentlemen who in person
furnished much Of tae money with which this
