Capt DraytoD, who recently committed suicide
in New. Bedford, Massachusetts, was for several
years the inmate Of dungeon in the District oil

offepse for which he suffered this Incarceration.

public, sought the aid Of Capt Drayton, and he 10
ceiyed them on board the vessel which he COM
pspded; but, soon after leaving Washington, tho
fugitives were Overtaken, aud, ere many days had
elapsed, the benefactOr Of these wretches was
sentenced to an imprisonment of twenty years

States. He remained in prison about four years.

was subjected-what of food and clothing he

will be known. 1t 10 certain that he was in the
hands of men hardly predisposed to treat him
indulgently. He was pardOned BY President Fill
more. principally through the importunate exer-
tons of Mr. Charles Sumner. He came forth from
his prison broken and dispirited and ruined, with
health and heart and hope gone. He has since
made many attempts TO resume bis old relation to
the world, but his feebleness of body was finally
succeeded by insanity, and alone, with no friend
near him, he died by his own hand.
The good citizens Of New Bedford, the moment
the identity of the unfortunate man was established,
united in paying to his mortal remains all proper
respect. The town ball was opened for the funeral
services, which were attended by the Board of AL.
