BAD REPORTS FROM GOVERNORS ISLAND
HUNGRY SOLDIERS CAN'T FIGnT-We have re-
ceivcd information to this effect That the new
United States Army recruits at Governors
Island are very badly treated by the officers in
command; that they do not get one half the
ratons allowed by government, and that every
day in drill numbers of men swoon from ex
haustion, brought on by actual hunger. This
is bad state of things, if true The officers
of the army are legally and morally response
bic for the condition Of their men. Great
power is placed in their hands, and they are
not always discreet and sensible in using il.
Just now government is in want of soldiers:
and if men are to be treated as dogs they will
manage TO make it known through the press.
and enlistment will be discouraged. In the
name of justice and common humanity. we call
on the War Department to investigate this
matter. 1t is hard lot enougb-that Of pri-
yatc soldier-without the additional pangs Of
blows instead of bread

The FREE BLACK REPUBLICAN PLATFoRM-At
the late Anti-Slavery Fusion State Convention
in Wisconsin, the following unequivocal reso-
luton was adopted
Resolved That the fundamental principles Of the repub
ican party based upon the equal rights of all men,
that those principles utterly hostile to the proscrp
ton of any account Of birthplace religion color
and that this convention opposed to all political organ
zaons which favor such prescription adopt
measures, and take upon themselves obligations incon-
sstent with the republican faith and with fair and honest
action as members of the republican party.
Equal rights of all men," black and white
Frederick Douglass asks no more-the women's
rights amalgamationists ask no more, only that
the women Of all colors be put upon the same
level with the men-Loyd Garrison asks no
more, except the immediate dissolution of the
Union, which this resolution involves as the
necessary result of the equal rights Of all men,"
This is the true Seward platform. What the
arch-agitator hesitates to declare in New York
his partizans boldly proclaim in Wisconsin
That's all.

RACHEL AND HER PMcEs.-We are over

RACHEL AND HER PRcEs.-We are over
whelmed with complaints of the high prices
charged for the performances of Mile Rachel.
We have not space for them at present, as the
arguments have hitherto been presented by US
to NJ. Felix, who is hardened in his career by
the very important fact that the receipts have
thus far exceeded the expenses, and have steadi-
ly increased in amount. One of our cores
pondents inquiries very pertinently if M. Felix
cannot afford better orchestra, better scenery,
and release of the public from the extra
charge Of two shillings each for the reservation
of seats. We think that he can afford all these
things, and that he ought SO to do. We have
also received many complaints Of the dis
courtesy Of the persons employed as ushers.
Several instances of this have come under our
immediate observation, and we have seen sew
eral Of those ushers narrowly escape kicking
which they richly deserved. There are excep-
tions to this-one in particular, young man
who has long been attached to this house. The
discourtesy complained of comes solely from
the French ushers, and their conduct shakes
our faith in their national reputation for po-
likeness to tremendous extent. N. Felix, let
it be reformed altogether. Get them each q
small pocket edition of the works of my Lord
Chesterfield, which they may read, mark and
inwardly digest during the time that they now
employ in making themselves generally disa-
greeable.

Col. KINNEY AND HIS LAND TRACT OF THIRTY
MILLIONS OF ACRES OF THE MosQUITo COAST
We published yesterday letter of Col. Kin
ney, stating that the Messrs. Shepherd and
Haley merchants Of Greytown) have disposed
Of, to him, their entire right title and interest
in the celebrated Mosquito grant" Of thirty
millions Of acres for five hundred thousand
dollars and, having made the purchase, the
gallant Colonel says he shall proceed at once
Ito invite emigration to the development of
its unequalled resources Now, this is the
identical purchase Of Messrs. Senator Cooper,
Cost johnson & Co., upon which the original
Kinney expedition was started, and upon which
it exploded under the representations, as we
are informed, of Senior Marcoleta and Mr.. Jo-
seph l.. White and others, that it was a flibus-
tering concern, intended to overthrow the gov
eminent Of Nicaragua with which we are at
peace, and to set up North American concern,
a la Texas, in its place.
Now, it appears that Col. Kinney has gained
three important points, in spite Of Senior Mar
coleta, Mr.. White, Mr. Marcy, Mr.. Gushing, Mr..
Pierce, the United States Courts and the home
squadron, to wit -
l. He has got into, and quietly located him
self in Greytown, in new house, built of the
best pine boards and scantling, and carpeted
with substantial canvass.
2. He has secured q sort Of treaty of amity
and good will with the government Of Nicara
qua.
g. He has secured, under his own manage
ment, the entire Mosquito tract" of thirty
millions of acres
These are three very important steps to the
great object, which is the settlem of the
country with Anglo-Saxon Americans and the
development of its wonderful resources, pre-
paratory to the establishment of a new pro-
gressiye North American government u
7iras, with Col. Kinney as President, Ia Sam
Houston. We expect next to hear that Mr..
White has come over to the side of Col. Kin
ney, Notwithstanding that extraordinary letter
to Mr.. Fabens. And thus the great Texas
land settling pioneer rises from defeat and
shipwreck to the position Of the dictator of the
Mosquito coast. What says Marcy nows What
says John Bull?

A REGIMENT OF PATRIOTS for
the county offices are getting as thick and al
most as devouring as the grasshoppers in Utah.
We publish elsewhere further list of those
selfsacrifcing fellows who are willing to be
inundated on the city altar in consideration Of
the salaries and spoils thereunto appcrtaining.
Eighteen democrats are prominent candidates
for the office OF Street Commissioner, which is
very ardnous and worth the miserably small
sum Of fifty thousand dollars per annum ION
the square," Sixteen more are equally
anxious to be Sheriff; his fees are absolutely
pitiful, not over thirty thousand dollars per
annum. We trust that this selfdenal and pure
patriotism will eventually be rewarded by
their hitherto ungrateful fellow-citizens. Seve-
raj gentlemen who are starving in the Custom
House on two or three thousand dollars year,
are anxious for chance at the city crib. The
Custom House seems to have lost none of its
old influence in the city. 1t still rules nearly
all the democrats, body and soul.
