EXCITEMENT IN PETERsBuRG.-On Tuesday last it
was discovered that the schooner Keziah, Capt.
Baylss, of Brandywine, Delaware, lying near Pc
tersburg had on board several slaves, who had been
secreted by the Captain with the intention of taking
them to free State. Much excitement ensued.
The schooner was chased and overhauled, and the
slaves with the Captain and his mate brought back
to Petersburg. It required the most energetic eff.
forts the part of the officers Of the law and
sentative citizens to save the Captain from imme-
date and condign punishment Under the laws Of
the State the vessel has been forfeited, and will be
sold The Captains offence is, we believe, peni.
Tertiary one. He appears to be guilty; and if shown
to be SO on trial. he will have the benefit of several
years' hard labor among his fellow convicts and
felons This would be even-handed justice to this
abolition thief and at the same time 8 lesson 70

MESSRS. SHAW AND GILMER,

WASHINGTON, May 49, 1858.
To the Editor Of the Union:
DEAR SIR l have noticed in the Globe of to-day
the official publication of the speech of the Hon.
John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina, which contains
certain expressions which considered by my
friend, the Hon. Henry NJ Shaw, of North Carolina,
as personally offensive to him. As correspond
ence in refer ence to those expressions between my
colleague, the Hon. Mr.. Shaw, and the Hon. Mr.
Gi!mer, passed through my hands, and as the speech
would otherwise go to the public without explana-
ton, feel it due to the Hon. Mr.. Shaw to request
that you will publish the correspondence referred to-
copies of which I transmit herewith, numbered
from to 4.
am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

WASHINGTON, May &c, 1868.
SIR: In looking your speech now in the
Globe Office, which made during my absence
from the hall of the House of Representatives on
Monday night last, find the following expression
in reference to my speech of the Goth April: that
it was "unfair, unjust, untrue, prevarcating, and
unworthy the gentleman who made it."
You must be aware that the ordinary construction
would render such language offensive. desire you
to explain it's precise meaning.
Respectfully, II. NJ. SHAW.

Governor, but don't. Here is file Of

CHENEY's SENTENCES. C. Cheney
was sentenced to confinement in the Peni
tentiary for seven years, by Judge Sample,
on Tuesday last. The scene connected with
the sentence was very painful one, and
one on which no mind can delight to dwell.
The counsel for defendant appealed to the
clemency of the Court, but the Judge did
his duty as he esteemed it, despite the
awakened sympathy Of his heart. He re-
garded the offence as an aggravated one,
and hence inflicted the penalty which he
did. We can but honor him for his Roman
frmness. Seven years for concealing sto-
len horses seems exceedingly poor pay for
such business: Truly, "the way of the trans
gressor is hard" Bitter and sickening are
the wages Of iniquity. Let young men lay
these and kindred lessons TO heart, and be
wise in time, that before they are aware of
it, they be not oyertaken by crime.- Woos-
ter Republican.

SAD CAsuAlrY.-On Monday last, a
little son of Mr.. c. Sheeler of Canal Do
yer, accidentally fell into the river and was
drowned. He was at play with two other
little boys on the river bank short dis
tance below the railroad, and having ven-
tured out on log that extended from the
bank into the stream, his foot slipped,
precipitating him into the water several
feet deap. He was seen to fall by no one
but bis little companions, boys about 5
or years of age, who, of course, could
render no assistance. The body was found
on Tuesday evening about half mile be-
low doyer.-Ohio Democrat

PEACH PRosPEcTs.-The peach pros
pect is pretty slim in the States generally.
The Toledo Blade is assured by fruit grow
ers in that vicinity that the buds are gen.
orally killed. The GAINESVILLE Courier
brings similar report from Muskingum.-
A letter from Gallia county, in Southern
Ohio, says that peach buds are all dead.
About Columbus, and north of that, the
editor of the Ohio Cutiuator think the
peach buds are killed, except in certain IA
vorable locations.
We learn that in this section, the peach
orchards on and in the immediate vicinity
of the Lake Shore, still give promise of
considerable fruit Cleveland Leader.

Daring Outrage and ROBBERY.

Some time last night, some person or
persons unknown entered the House of
Thomas Miller, Esq, late Postmaster, and
after administering chloroform to the ell
tire family, six in number, they proceeded

bles that could be found. Eight thousand
dollars worth of drafts were abstracted
from Mr.. Ms. pocket, his pocket-book
containing money and notes, his gold
watch and chain, and considerable jewelry,
DC. The family knew nothing of the out
rage until this morning. When Mr..
awoke be discovered peculiar smell in his
rooms, and upon sitting up in bed found
upon his pillow the stains Of chloroform.-

The esaffering. of q slave Girl.

Lap, Humanity and Public Opinion ~
.lastrated BY taco While Brntes.
An the citizens of st. Louis, and most
of the citizens of the United States are IA
miliar with the case of the Peters for cruel
ties practiced on their slave girl Lncretia.
At the last term of the Criminal Court
they were both convicted ofthese cruelties
and sentenced to years imprisonment
each in the county Jail, and to pay fine
Of 500 each. An appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court and a stay of execu-
tion granted during the pendency of said
appeal. So far from this verdict and OUT
raged public opinion having any influence
to restrain these cruel people from farther
barbarities, they appear to have been worse
since than before. :
1t is reported on pretty good authority
that one of the parties boosted that the
cruel treatment was practiced the same as
ever, but that the girl was taken into the
celler in the night time, and such precau-
ton taken a. would defy detection. Short
" after the verdict, the girl was found on
the river bank in state of nudity, covered
with fresh stripes and blood, and said
that she had been so barberously maltreat-
ed by her owners, that she could not en-
dure it any longer, and had therefore run
away. The girls manner showed that she
had evidently contemplated suicide, and
was about to drown herself when discover
ed. The person discovering her consider
ed it his duty to return her to her tormen- :
tors.
A third chapter in this diary of brutali-
ty came to light yesterday evening. About
six o'clock, as officer Gunnell was passing
the residence of the Peters on Sixth-st.,
near Franklin avenue, he heard loud
screams as of some person undergoing ter
rible suffering, and in moment thereafter
the negro girl Lucretia leaped over the
fence, and was caught in the officers arms.
Her head was covered with blood, proceed
ing from two gashes, penetrating to the
bone. The officer took her to the Gala
boose, where her woonds were dressed BY
the Health officer. Her story was that
she had been beaten by Mr.. ard Mrs. Pc
ters, and that the latter struck her on the
bead with loose table leg.
The girls testimony of course could not
be taken in court of justice, and it is
not likely that any other can be obtained.
All the circumstances, however, go 20
prove its truth. These brutalities have
proceeded quite long enough, and we would
ask, 10 the name of humanity, whether the
people of St. Louis a.e SO powerless that
such things must bepermitted to take place
with impunity. Is there no redress or
for a helpless slave against the
of au owner?-St. Loues Eve-
ninq News, March 18th.
