COMMUNICATIONS,
What has Slavery to do with us?
No. Q.

B. r. CowEN:-In last weeks Chronicle
| attempted to show how Slavery degraded
our occupation, and defied our moral senti.
mcnts. | shall now show how it DESTROYS ouy
reverence for Lao.
IL demands as necessary to its well being
the passage of laws which our sense OF
justice abhors. 1t demands the passage OF
laws, which trampse in the dust those great
rights guaranteed to all in the Constitutions -
The right of "Trial by Jury"-that grea,
bulwark of ou- lberties;-how much respect
does Slavery pay to it! ask the Fugitive Slave
Bill, q will not disgrace our civil or Grimm
al Codos by calling it u Law.) The right to
the writ pf "Habeus Corpus" The right to
n reasonable time to defend against unjust
accusations. The right of defence against
Illegal searches, all gone at one swoop, at the
demands of this monster Tyrant. The same
system torbids us to exercise the charities
required alike by Humanity and Christianity,
-orblds US to furnish u crust of bread, or
glass of water to the painting, famlshing
fugitive, and it demands still farther, that
we lay aside our necessary business--that
we leave the bed side of the sick wife; of
the dying children: that we leave unburied
the loved friend, and for WHAT for what does
slavery make thess unheaid of demands!--
That we may assist in the apprehension, pre-.
vent the escape, and finally return to bondage
the leeing fugitive. And after we have sub.
nttec to all this with the best grace we can,
II further demands that the compact by which
our great National domain was consecrated
to Freedom, should be cast aside, and the
Revolver, and Bowie knife substituted for the
Ballot Box.
II drains OF our substance for its support.
Thal Slavery is not self sustaining, is evil
dent to every one who has examined the sub
Ject; while 1t may prove profitable to indi-
vlduals, the system inv>lves all either directly
or remotely concerned in it in extraordinary
expenses, we may take the Post Office de-
par'ment as an example, and what is true Of
IT, will hold good OF all other departments of
the Government. While the Government
dev les handsome revenue, from the mail
matter carried, and distributed in the North !.
the surplus is all swallowed up, and an an
nual deficiency of thousands created in the
South and why! In the South, the laborer
has no business with the Post Office; no
papers making their daily, weekly, and month
~ visits; no letters 20 send to Kind relatives,
ana acqualntances. no answers to be receiy-
cd nothing, of the kind, Slavery gouges out
the minds eye, it warps the intellectual ca.
paclty OF its victim; it destroys the desire
Tor mental enjoyment, by destroying the

A Striking Contrast.

Bitter feelings rise up in the hearts oil
children towards parents whe IN they feel that
they have beeen maltreated, while other
children hav been petted and favored. 1t is
the same with the people Of nation as
with the members Of family. Let one class
of people conceive the idea that the execu-
tive cares nothing :er them-and will do
nothing to protect them in their rights, while
at the same time it assists another class to
the enjoyment o. its every privilege, and the
former class must become estranged, and
feel distfrected towards the Government
Sometime in the present Iour years (Which
future generations will style "the four years
dsgraced by the Administration of Gen.
Pierce, and the passage of the Nebraska Bill)
it was discovered by some argus-eyed soul
driver that one Anthony Burns had escaped
from labor in southern state, and was q
citizen of Boston. A man with lighter
colored skin than Burns (his heart was ten
fold blacker,) makes oath to tina, effect, and
all the "powers that be- are put IN motion
to remand Burns to "chains and slavery"
The President sends ship--and can army
with banners' sands between human be-
ing and freedom. He is convey ed on board
a ship-a government vessel--and at the ex-
pense of the government sent back to sla-
very. All this the President did for one class
of his people. Now let us see what he did
not do for another class.
1t is we'll known that Kansas, by its fertile
soil and its mild climate tempted emigrants
thither. They of course went there conf
dent of protection from the government
But while in the new home they were Sc. up
on BY armed ruffian hordes, and their lives
! threatened, if they dared to exercise the
rights of treemen. One would naturally sup
pose that the Government--so prompt to
render assistance in one case, would not
Withhold it in another. What are the facts? So
far from assisting them, the President actu'
ally turns out Governor who tries to assist
them. Neither assist them himself, nor al
lows any one else to do SO. How does this
sneaking skulking "dog-in-the.manger'
policy become the President Of a powerful
nation like ours! These things are true
nevertheless.

terday morning with good many OF the
wounded and the passengers who were saved.
Capt. Wood and officers OF the d. A. Given,
Ia, merit the warmest thanks of the survi-
vors and the community for their many kind
acts on the occasion. Capt. Wood had his
boat turned into a regular hospital at once,
and was most assiduous in his care and atten-
ton to the wounded.
Capt Throp, who was terribly burnt,
went back 20 St. Louis, accompanied by his
mate, John Johnson, first engineer. Mr..
Davidson, the clerk and a number of the
cabin crew, or the Baltimore. The boat
turned bottom upward, and sunk near Ste-
phenport. The second mate was standing
near the forward bits at the time of the ex-
plosion, and, the first thing he knew, he
caught the captain in his arms. The latter
was on the herricaue deck the moment be-
fore. Several of the passengers who were
saved including Capt. r. White, who arri-
we'd on the Given, knew nothing of the dis
aster till they found themselves in the river,
in their night dress among the floating por-
tons of the wreck How they were saved,
or in what manner they reached the shore
waF equally n mystery. A passenger asleep
in an upper birth was saved, and the one in
an under berth OF the same room was killed.
The second engineer, Willis, who was on
watch, was killed, and his assistant saved
The second clerk and all ASST stant bar keep
er were killed. and two f,emen, names not
known, burnt to death in their hunks. Two
passengers who got on the boat at Smith
land, were killed. One of them was gen.
tleman about 80 years Of age, medium size
with brown hair and dark sandy goatee. Mr..
w iley Johnston, Of Madison, had his leg
broken and received several contusions. He
was taken to Madison on the Srader. A
German deck hand AMI colored man, who
! lived back of New Albany, died on the d
A. Given. All the ladies', children anC
passengers in he alter part of the boat we re
saved unhurt. One or two dead bodies ant
portion of the wreck wero met by the Rain
bow, 35 miles below th, scene Of the disas
ter.
The Lexington lacked only few days o
being five years old. The machinery wa
made by Phillips, Hise g. Co., of New AL
bany, and the boat was quite old enough t.
be abandoned. She has been a packet il

The Inspectors. of course, now that tn
damage is all done, will investigate as usual

who saw the wreck that the boilers had n
water in them. All the wounded person

Mr.. EnIToR:-In the Receipts and Ex-
penditures Of this year, the amount for my
last years service as Auditor seems large,
wherefore, suffer me to explain.
The general business of the office is great
ly increased from former years. But we must
deduct from the present Exhibit, 5000, this
being the umoune of - .,aser anss1er drawn, in my
favor in 1853, settled and published in the
Exhibit of last year. This Order was enter.
ed in the Conmissinr ora, Journal, instead o!
the Order Book, and was by me omitted in
posting--kence its appearance now. OF the
remainder, Sl34Q,is for extra work, work-ex-
tending through two years. Viz, Plot Books,
lLdex, and Duplicate Of Assessment. This
leaves the regular fees of the Office for the
last year less tran $24OO. The present Au-
ditor Mr.. Charlesworth not being in posses-
sion of these Facts could only present the
matter in the aggregate. Hoping this may
prove satisfactory to all parties.
! remain Respectfully yours,

Additional Items by the America.

The America arrived at Halifax on the af-
ternoon of the 4th' Dates from the 23d.
The Allies have made an unsuccessful at
tempt to storm Sevastapol. The most con-
Trajectory rumors prevailed in regard to the
transaction. BY some accounts the English
loss is set down at 1000 men. out the re-
port is believed to be exaggerated The fol-
lowing are the only official notifications of the
event:
"Lord Panmure regrets to have to announce
that he has received information the English
troops attacked the Rcdan, and the French
the Malakoh Tower ,at daylight on the morn
ing of the 18th, without the success which
has hitherto attended Our efforts. Both the
French and ourselves have suffered consid-
erably."
Adviccs from Peliser to the French Gov.
crnment are to the same effect.
Private accounts published in the London
Standard, say the loss of British officers in
killed and wounded, amount to no less than
seventy; the greatest portion Of the loss vas
experienced in n ravine. where a powerful!
and unexpected battery was opened on the
troops. The allies lost terribly by the
Russians springirg a min 6 and during tho
confusion they recaptured the Mamelon
Tower
A dispatch from Bucharest via Vienna
confirms the report that an expedition has
been undertaken against Perekop. The Rus
sian account Of the allies in the sea Of Azof'
is published. Goitschakoff confirms the sue.
cess claimed by the allies, but says that
operation against the sea of Azotr were ex.
pected. The stores of grain destroyed were
private property and not intended for the use
OF the Russian army.
The correspondence relates the horrible
atrocities perpetrating by the French and
Turks at the capture OF Kertsch. A dispatch
from Varna, dated June 18th, which was re.
tarded on the way, says the Russians had
made an unsuccessful attack on Kars, and il
was reported they had re.taken Anapa. The
Austrian commander has proclaimed martial
law in Moldavla; authorities refused to pro-
mulgate the order unle's authorized by the

had caused considerable sensation in the

following resolution at meeting in Newark

Resolved, That the recent invasion BY

lation of every principle of Republican gov

States; and while we are willing to leave
Shareholders full enjoyment of ali the
rights guaranteed them by the Constitution,
we warn them that the Democracy of the
Free States will never look with any degree
OF allowance upon such conduct, nor uphold
men who will sustain it; but will unite as
one man to prevent the consummation Of
their designs, even to the excluding of Kansas
from place in the Union of States.

ILLNESS OF NAPOLEON!

HALIFAX, July 4.-The royal mail steamer
America arrived here this evening, bringing
dates from Liverpool to the 23d. ultimo.
The news is not in very great detail, but is
quite important.
Dispatches have been received by Govern.
men. announcing that the French and English
made a combined attack, in force, on thej
Russian battery and tho Maakof tower on
the 18th of June, and were repuIsed by the
Russians with great slaughter.
The government had given no details of
this great repu!se,but fragmentary intellgen-
ce and private advices say that the English
lost no fewer than 1000 men including Lord
Campbell and 76 officers. Rumors of other
disasters are prevalent.
A large new French loan is Immediately
called for.
In the English Parliament Mr.. Roebuck ha.

. Female Equestrianism is just now claiming
considerable attention 'the country through
and properly so, too. If any one can point
us to more beautiful object--a more orious
uision-than graceful woman on spirited
horse, we would be glad. There is no more
glorious object to be seen. Prof Nash of
Amherst, closes an essay on this subject in
the following style:--
Better far than all the shoulder. braces and
drug panaceas ever invented, or concocted,is
a wild gallop on brave free steed; for the
young, and gentle amble on quiet .palfrey
improves the dropping invalid more than
slofs, syrups, and careful wrapping. In no
waltz, schottish, or polka, ever performed in
the unwholesome press of heated bathrooms,
is fair woman so clothed with grace, as when
with form erect, she is borne swiftly onward
by gallant steed. The face may flush in
the sitting atmosphere of crowded halls, un-
der the glare Of lamps, but to pale again with
the morning light; while the roses which
bloom on beauty's cheek in the pure free air
Of Leaven, and rich warm sunlight, under the
exhilarating influence of horseback ride,
endure, and are roses without thorns.
"What are the young men about, that the
ladies ride alone! Are men afraid of horses,
Have they never learned to ride! Poor fel.
lows they had better borrow some gentle old
nag, and practice. Don't be afraid; there is
not much danger, and tho ladies' will lead
ycur horses at first"
