FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, MONDAY, aug. u, 1903.
The Administration has bestowed upon
the subject of the African slave trade its
earnest attention, and, with view of sup
pressing as far as possible this traffic, has
initiated measures more efficient and extern
sive than ever before for that purpose.
The squadron for the coast of Africa, as
arranged by the Secretary of the Navy,
will consist of the following named vessels
The steamers Mystic, Sumpter, San Jacin-
to, and Mohican, and the sloops-of-war
Constellation, (the flagship Portsmouth,
Marion, and Vincennes The most eff
cient officers are assigned to their command.
Those of the steamers Mystic and Stump
ter are, respectively, Lieutenant w. E. Lee
Roy, and Lieutenant G.. f. Armstrong.
These gentlemen were, at their own re-
quest, ordered to this service. Their ves-
sells being of light draught, can penetrate
waters too shallow for tn ose which have
hitherto been on that coast, beside having
the advantage of steam. Hence slavers
will be more closely pursued.
The joint treaty with England requires
that the United States shall keep on the
Algerian coast force of eighty guns, but
by the recent arrangement on the part OF
the Administration the number of our
guns will be one hundred and sixteen.
MIR. Birney, who succeeds Mr.. Morse as
Naval Store-Keeper, went out in the Con-
stellation, with instructions to remove the

BALTIMocE, Tuesday Aug. %, 1859.
A dreadful series of outrages were per-
petrated on Saturday night, on board the
steamer Express, whith left here the same
evening, with large company for the
camp meeting on Choptank River. After
the boat had got some distance from the
city, party of rowdies rallying under the
cry of Enbolts," Ranters," and Rip
Raps," made an indiscriminate assault upon
the white and colored passengers, knock
ing them down in every direction Many
of them were horribly beaten, and several
stabbed. Many of the white men were
robbed of their money and watches, the
assailants blowing out the lights to prevent
their being recognized One colored man
was stabbed, and his wife outraged in his
presence. On Sunday morning the boat
stopped at Cambridge, where the Sheriff
of Dorchester county arrested four of the
ringleaders, and committed them to Jail. 1t
is reported that one colored man has died
of his wounds

naval depot for the African Squadron from
Porto Praya TO San Paul de Lando, which
is three hundred and thirty-six miles south
of the Congo River, or about twenty-five
hundred miles distant from Porto Praya
This new depot will consequently be much
nearer than the former to the principal
points of traffic on the coast, and will, in
great measure, obviate the necessity of
long cruises.
4 On our own coast, too, there is to be an
efficient naval force, composed of the steam
ers Crusader, Lieut.. Maffit; the Mohawk,
Lieut.. Craven; Wyandotte, Lieut.. STAN
ley; and the Fulton Commodore G. G..
Williamson They are to cruise in the
neighborhood of Cuba, for the purpose of
capturing any slavers which may, by their
experiences, escape the vigilance of our ma
val police on the African coast.
These arrangements will soon go into
full operation, and the Secretary of the
Navy is now hurrying the preparation of
such of the vessels as are yet in port for
this important service.

LETTER FROM NEW GARDEN, IND

New GARDEN Ind, Aug. 3, 1859.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The anniversary of the
emancipation in the West India Islands
was celebrated yesterday by the people of
color, at Richmond, from various parts of
this State. The daughters of Ruth and
the Masonic Fraternity turned out in full re-
gala. The Sabbath Schools, citizens, and
visitors from various parts, joined the pro-
cession, which was organized in front of
Starr Hall, and marched through diverse
streets, with music and banners, which
made grand display. From thence to
the Fair grounds, under the direction of
Grand Marshall Calvin Outland, where
sumptuous dinner was prepared under his
superintendent. At about one o'clock
the audiencewa was addressed by the talented
Frances Ellen Watkins, Of Baltimore; af-
ter which an Grafton was delivered by the
eloquent and well known III. Ford Doug
lass, of Chicago, III. Between the talent
ed two the cause of the down-trodden and
oppressed was fully vindicated, and the
great theory of human rights was held up
in its true light to thousands. The ours
ing and blighting form of slavery was fair
ly and justly exhibited to the towards Of
the North, who uphold this God-defying,
man-degrading, soul-crushing, and hell-de-
serving institution, which holds men in alb
ject bondage. After the orations were con-
cluded, the procession again formed and re-
turned to the city, and then dismissed. At
night the people again assembled in Starr
Hall, where they were addressed by Miss
Watkins and Mr.. Douglass, the former
on "Home Influence" and the latter on the
Brutality of Slavery" after which they
were served with refreshments, and a social
reunion took place, and so closed this an,
niversary of the emancipation in the Brit
ish West India Islands. The eloquent
and talented Frances Ellen Watkins, has
been leeturing in this State for some two
months, with great success, and we hope
the hoosier State will yet become a pat
tern Tor her sister States in doing the great
work Of freedom.

Hence it is that slaveholding communi-

of such enterprise as digs canals, constructs
railroads, builds colleges, sends forth mis-

We could make from them paper enough

Here is the city of Kingston, with &c.

cd them to desist, as they were desecrating
4bo bonse Of God by their conduct, and he,
as trustee, would not allow it. Mr.. B. i'm
,nediately acknowledged that he had done
wrong and was sorry for it. But Mr.. D.,
who was not to be intimidated by the trus-
tee or his vested authority, caught an UNI
brella that was standing by, and broke it
over the trustees head, for which he would
have been roughly handled had it not been
for others, who interfered and succeeded in
quelling the disturbance. By this time
quite a number had collected in front of
the church and the affair became public,
and many were the rumors. The Rev.
Mr. Trusty, as soon as he heard of it, took
immediate steps to have the affair brought
before the proper persons, and settled ac-
cording to the discipline OF their church
The nearest elders of the Connection met
at Newark on the 10th. They were the
Revs. Jno. A. Williams, W. G. Marshal,
and J. Trusty. The parties, who had been
notified to be present, together with the
witnesses, were on hand at the appointed
time. When the brothers were called upon
to answer to the charge they both plead
guilty. Mr.. Butler acknowledged that he
had done wrong in allowing himself to be-
come SO excited as to strike the brother,
for which he told him at the time he was
sorry He also acknowledged that he had
desecrated the house Of God, for which he
hoped to be forgiven. After this manifest
alton of repentance he was reinstated. On
the part of Mr.. Davis, who plead guilty,
there was no submission. He denied the
statements of the witnesses, who were
members of the church, and whose state
ments were coroborated by those who
were in and about the church at the time
He told them that it was concocted plan
among them to injure him. He became
very noisy and would hear to no one, and
tho committee could not do otherwise than
suspend him until the sitting of the Quar-
terly or Annual Conference.

racing, but owing to the mercy of Divine
Providence, and not to the skill of the per-
formers, no serious accident occurred. One
