A FIRE EATER CoRRUPTED.-Judge Campbell
OF Alabama, of the u S Supreme Court, has in
Cured the distrust of his political associates b.
moderaing his tone somewhat since his appoint,
ment to a federal judgeship, and B. F. Sheppard
of Mobile, upbraids him in published letter, as
follows:
Before you were appointed federal judge, you
were the hope of the Southern Rights party of
Alabama. l. with others, looked to you for in,
structIon and action, we recognized you our
leader. True little after your elevation to the
bench, you despondingly asked, What we do
against government with S70,000000 year.
and, although then thought your spirit given
way, | was re assured by remark you made to
me at the Battle House last year. | remarked on
that occasion needed Southern party, NO"
you replied, I'VE want a Southern country; Bu-
chdnan is an old Humbug." Now, however. all
hope is lost; will not say the seventy millions
year has been to much for you. fear the chief
justiceship has been the snare which led to your
destruction.

the Doctor expects the public to credit the high.

commodities he should stick to the truth in other

right to do so but to drag into his rebuke the false
assertion that he makes about the colored Delawa-

And he said "Wrte
Write nations curse for me,
And send it over the Western Sea-"
| fal.ered, taking up the word
mot SO. my lord
If curses must be, choose another
To send thy curse against my brother.
''For am bound by gratitude,
In love and blood,
To brothers of mnc across the sea-
Who have stretched out kindly hands to me. -
Therefore the voice said, "shat thou write
My curse to night!
From the submits of love a curse is driven,
As lightning from the tops of heaven"
"Not SO !" | answered. "Eyermore
My heart is sore
For my own lands sins for the little feet
OF children bleeding along the street.
For parkedup hOnors, that gainsny
The right Of way
For almsgving through door that is
Not open enough for two friends to kiss.
For an oligarcAic parliament,
And classes rent.
What curse to another land assign,
When heavy souled for the sins of mine? ?"
Therefore" the voice said, shalt thou write
My curse tonight
Because thou hast strength to see and hate
An i'll thing done within thy gate."
Not SO ~ | answered once again
"To curse, choose men
For |, a woman, have only known
How the heart melts and the tears run down.
"Therefore," the voice said, "shalt thou write
My curse to night
There are women who weep and curse, say
And no one marvels), night and day.
"And thou shalt take their part Tonight
Weep and write!
A curse from the depths of womanhood
Is very salt, and bitter, and good"
So thus | wrote, and mourned indeed,
What oil may read
And thus, as was enjoined, on me,
/ send it oyer the Western Sea.

HORRIBLE MASSACRE.

The Kingston (Jamaica) Journal gives the fol-
lowing particulars of horrible Indian massacre in
Central America of which brief mention was
made a few days ago:
Intelligence has been received of horrible mas
sacre by the Indians in British Honduras, in which
there were no less than one hundred and four VIC
TINS and forty others taken prisoners, whose fate
up to the date of the intelligence uncertain
The particulars as related by one who present,

journey from Corosal was taken by the Indians ON
the 9th utimo, when hundred and four persons
were killed in the assault and forty taken prisoners.
As soon as the news reached Corosal three or four
gentlemen started for the place, and one of them,
Mr. Blake, returned almost Immediately, stating
that the Indians would ransom their prisoners for
$4,000 Considerable exertion was Immediately
put forward, and in two days the amount was rails
ed, s. 800 in cash, and the balance in goods such
required by the Indians. The stipulation
was placed in the hands of the Indian comman-
dant, who promised that he would treat further on
the following day but at midnight the 3lst the
whole Indian force called out to consult their
oracle-the cross-when it was determined that
81 900 must be paid down for the female prisoners
alone, and $4,000 more for the males or they must
be led forth to execution. Thirty women who had
been violated by almost all the soldiers and eleven
men, were then led forth, and their screams ring
ing in the of the English who wished, if pos
sible, to save them, were inhumanly kiled-liter-
ally hacked to pieces. The superintendent sent
Captain Anderson and another gentleman with a
letter to the Indian commandant, supplicating
mercy for the untortunatcs, but his messengers
and letter were treated with contempt.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-At or little after seven
o'clock, on the evening of the 18th inst, alarm
of fire was raised, the location of which could not
be ascertained for some time. 1t was at length
found to proceed from the Steam Saw and Plain
ing Mill of Messrs Costin, Gregg & Co., on the
other side of the river some distance below the
depot of the Wilmington and Manchester Rail
Road Company.
1t would appear that the fire caught under
the slide at the saw MILL and was kept under
for considerable length of time by the hands on
the other side of the river. Some difficulty SEEM
ed to exist in getting the fire companies and the
apparatus over, and before efficient assistance could
be rendered the mill in a blaze and was finally
consumed, along with from four to FIVE hundred
thousand feet of lumber, involving loss of not
less than $25 ,0O0.- Wilmington Journal.
