THE HoRRoRs OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-The
Key West Key of the GUT, in its account of the
capture of the slave brig Putnam, by the United
States ship Dolphin, relates the following;
THE prize had on board when taken, about
three hundred and thirty Africans, mostly young
none of whom over thirty five years of
age and there was evidently several births on
the voyage. More than eveneighths of the
slaves, male and female, were in a nude state.
They were confined to the deck in a sitting pos
ture-.'spoon fashion and, as we learn from DR..
j. NJ Browne of the Dolphin presented most
disgusting, sickening, and revolving appearance.
Many had the leprosy, Others with their eyes OBJ
trudng from the socket, other with horrible sores
and almost all conceivable ailments, consequent
to their position in confinement and treatment on
board. Originally there were four hundred and
seventy taken on board Of which number one
hundred and forty had died.
Among the incidents of the capture, we learn
that the night before that event. the vessel being
within about eighty miles of the port of destina-
ton, grand champagne blow out was had on
board, in anticipation of soon successfully COM
petng the voyage and lingering the proceeds
of which we informed each Of the to
receive nine hundred dollars, and the owners ex-
pected to clear one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars; but before they had time to sleep off the
effects of their potatiCns, the Dolphin hove in
sight at daylight, much to their surprise and cha
grin Also during the chase, when it was thought
by the slavers that their vessel was distancing
the Dolphin, they again INDUCED in champagne,
drinking confusion to the pursuers, leaning over
the rail, and bowling and tossing off a bumper in
the most improved and 'don't-you wish-you-
oculd-catch-us' style. But, when the last shot
was fred, going between her mssts, their selfas-
surance and hopes Of escape turned to fear and
excitement; and after the capture they expressed
great astonishment to the accuracy of the shot,
and asked what kind of gun sent a ball that
distance p"

FLIGHT OF THE DOCTORS.


NEW York, Sept. Am attack was made
last night, about ten o'clock, on the Quaran-
tine buildings, Staten Island. An organized
force of about one thousand armed men as
sailed the Northwest corner of the wall, tear
ing it down, passed into the enclosure and
set fire to the shanties used as hospitals for
yellow fever and small pox patients. The
large brick building on the hill, called the
est. Nicholas, was also fred and consumed
Another building, used for small pox patients,
was also consumed. The mob broke in the
iron gates to the main entrance also, and the
engines were taken in, but the hose was cut,
and the firemen manifested no disposition to
extinguish the fire.
The mob deliberately entered the several
hospitals, and, removing the sick, piled straw
beds and bedding in the doorways and wln-
dows, and set them on fire.
DR.. Thompson the health officer, called his
men, about sixty in number, into his house,
and armed them with muskets, but the force
was too powerful to render any attempt to OPP
pose them successful. The Harbor Police
were all on duty in their boats, but the mob
was beyond their control when they reached
the ground One of DR. Thompson's steve
dores was shot in the back with ball and
buckshot.
AHe inmates OF quarantine were IN state
OF great excitement, fearing that the mob in
tended 10 take their lives. DR.. Bssell, the
resident physician, in his excitement, put
musket to the head of one of the harbor po-
lice and came near shooting him.
The doctors have all fed
A boat of the harbor police was despatched
to the city for assistance. While the boat was
on its way here large sturgeon jumped into
it, nearly staving it to pieces,
it was believed, when the boat left, that
the mob intended to raze the whole of the
quarantine buildings to the ground.

His mother cried, Come, Willie, let

mothers kiss hath power to cure;
her love is balm for every wound
Her gentle smile, her words 50 pure,

And bitter teers ariae and swell
mothers love still soothes the smart
A mothers kiss will make it well.

Or, II il never pays the debt
Which to our truthfulness is due
a mothers sympathy is ours
Wherever on the earth we dwell
Though gone forever childhoodis hours.
The mother-kiss still makes us well!
My mothers hair is gray, aud mine

Yet still her thrilling kiss is warm
Upon my brow imprinted we'll:
Through all my life it beth a charm,

From Infancy until today

SECRETARY ToUoEY GETS A New IDEA ABOUT
OAKHAM.-During his visit to the navy ward
at Brooklyn, on Wednesday, secretary. Of. the
navy Toucey was much interested in the oak
UNI factory. Seeing large number of bales
around, he inquired what they did with so
much of it. Rs was told that thew made
oakum there for all the navy yards in the
United States. Mr.. Toucey then desired to
see the rope mandatory, when he was in
formed that the rope and cable for the navy
were manufactured at Boston. The secretary
of the navy thought that it would be more
economical to make the rope where the oak
UNI was made. A perceptible smile stole
over the faces Of some of the bystanders at
this remark; but the naval constructor tried
to let the secretary down easy by saying
that they cut the oakum too short for ropes,
The secretary, however, did not take the hint.
but went on to inquire what they used oak
um for. After some little explanation he
learned that the principal use OF oakum was
to caulk the seams of ships, and that rope,
instead OF being made from oak um, was, when
old and otherwise useless, cut up and made
into oakum. In the bock-shop, the secretary
remarked that he had seen such work before,
in his own country, where they made wooden
clocks. -NeU York Tribune,

Gen. Houston spoke at Hampstead, Texas, on
the 18th. An account of his remarks in the Gal
weston NeaoS closes as follows;
"He said the North had US down that the foot
of the North is on our necks, and that we could
not help ourselves. He said the Ncrth, in case
of resistance by us, could easily take possession
of all our forts i'll the country that the West
alone could take possession of New Orleans, and
with an army of two millions could hold us in
subsection. He declared himself an advocate of
the Union. He said that Yancey, and all men
like him, ought to be put in madhouse. He
said he had opposed the Kanzas. Nebraska act,
and was still opposed to it. He attributed all
our troubles to the passage of that act. He ar.
gued in support of the Missouri Compromise, and
said it should never have been repealed
