THE CAPTURED SLAYER.

We give in another column the official report of Lieut.
Maft commanding the United States brig Dolphin of
the capture of the SLAYER recently sent into the port Of
Charleston There were, when captured; 3l8 slaves on
board twelve of whom died before the vessel reached
Charleston from the effects of dyseneFy. The arrival
created more excitement at that city than the
ment of the successful laying of the cable and much
curiosity manifested TO observe the African in his
native state.
There is good deal Of speculation to the port to
which the SLAYER belongs. Echo was the name once
on her STERN but it had been painted over and she is
now styled Putnam" The Charleston Courier says
she is of Baltimore model and fine vessel The crew
consisted of nineteen persons, Americans, English, and
Spaniards, neither of whom would acknowledge them
selves in command The Baltimore Sun states that the
brig Echo belonging to firm of that city sailed thence
the 22d of July for Mayagucy which port she reached
the 18th of August 1t could not have been that
sell as she had not had time to go to the coast of
Africa and return vessel by the name of Putnam
built in Baltimore several years since Under the laws
of the United States, the vessel is forfeited; half of it's
value goes to the captors who also entitled to $25
per head for each negro captured The law also directs
the President to take for the removal Of the
negroes beyond the limits of the United States and to
appoint agent the coast of Africa to receive them
The found on board, under the act of 18th May
1920, are deemed guilty of piracy
