tracted by Fremont, amounting in all to

recommended by the board to be paid, making
with the amount previously paid, $751;, 1865. or
about one-sirh OF the whole amount claimed
by Fremont and his colleagues in the work Of
depicting the treasury.
1.-THE board disallowed $l57,3l7 Of the
amount claimed, and suspended $780,, 1927 for
soaat of testimony or explanation.
"By far the larger portion of these claims
we're for cattle and horses, purporting to have

New Hampshire.

The noble, generous, hearty, and eloquent
endorsement which Franklin Pierce gave to
the nominees''of the Cincinnati Convention has
had powerful influence in the Granite State.
The Democracy are arousing to the fight with
will. The national wings are taking rank
with them in the great battle for the Union.
At late mass meeting in Nashua the assem-
bly, was addressed by A. p. Hughes, esq, in
support of Buck and Breck. Mr.. H. has been
heretofore an old-lins Wing. He was postmas-
ter of that city under the Taylor and Fillmore
administration, and was Wing candidate for
member of Congress from that district in 1853.
D. d. Dodge, esq, was next announced.
He has been heretofore an old line Whig and
announced his fixed determination to vote for
Buchanan.
Mr.. VIM. A. Sleeper another old line Whig,
Hon. G. w. Morrison, and Col. John H. George
also made effective and eloquent speeches.
A correspondent of the Springfield Argus
corroborates this prospect BY the following pre-
diction:

A FREEDOM shrieker "soid.o

Our readers will recollect an account pub
lisbed some time since Of stirring appeal
made by Henry Ward Beecher, in his own
church, on Sunday, in behalf of a young slave
girl from the South, and called upon his audi
ence to raise one thousand two hundred dollars
to enable Sarah to purchase her freedom. So
affecting was the appeal that ladies who had
no money with them took off their rings and
bracelets and threw them upon the plate. The
required SUN was raised, and the girl was
petted and feasted by the church, until her
habits became more than suspicious, and APP
pearances grew stronger every day that she
had become decidedly bad. Lately the girl
was missing, together with certain goods and
chattels belonging TO her friends, and cores
pondent of the New York Ne,cs writes that
paper that Mr. Beecher has recently received
information from her late owner that Sarah,
tired Of the dull life imposed upon her in the
neighborhood Of her Abolition associates, had
returned to him, was quite happy, and was
getting along "as well rs could be expected
under the circumstances. She had raised for
her master the one thousand two hundred dol
LARS, and he had saved bis credit and his slave
at the same time. good speculation for him
