Recorder Barnard delivered q long and uuioter'
estipg charge to the Grand Jury yesterday, which,
of course, will be just about as effective as
thousand others which have gone before. He
thinks that magistrates ought to have wider di'-
cretion in inf citing punjshments, so that the har
deped and desperate criminal who is convicted of
trihing ofense, but is essentially dangerous men,
Der of society, should be puoisted more severely
than the often morally innocent accomplice whom
he has used in his villainy. TIE Recorder pitches
into the Police Department generally, after care
full, selecting couple of old officers for an ex-
trsvaeant puff There is nothing else of note in
the charge.

Information from the coast of Africa leaves no
doubt that the slaves lately landed on the coast of
Georgia were actually shipped and brought BY the
Wapderer, and not by some other vessel to which
che served as consort-a report apparently got
up by the Custom House officers, who, as an
apology for not having siezed the Wauderer, stated
that she showed no indications of having had
slave cargo on board. She was, in fact, chased on
the coast of Africa by the Vmcennes, but escaped
by superior sailing. The New-York Yacht Club
have expelled Capt. Corrie. A voyage through

Account. from Port au.PriDce to the 10th of
January would seem to show that by this time
the reign of the Emperor soulouqae must have
terminated, and very likely his LIE along with 1t.
The revolution is reported to have spread to
nearly all parts of the empire, and sone very hard
fighting to have occurred at ST. Marc, both by sea
ard land, which resulted in lots to Soulouque, who
had been compelled to retreat. The City of Port
au.Prince would appear to be still held by the
Emperors partissns; but it was thought that the
psurgent forces, by which the city is said to be
surrounded, would prevent bis making good mis-
retreat into that city.
Advices from Hsyti to the 10th of January rep
resent that Port-au Prince was under arms, and
no mails were allowed to leave. Reentorcements
were joining Gefrard from all sides.

Mr.. Wu. S. Bailey, the Editor the Free Soil
newspaper, The Free South, published at Newport,
Ky, is now in this city. His errand in the East
ern States is to raise money to sustain himself and
bis paper, in which we hope he viii, as We think
he ought to, succeed, for the reasons following:
To save this country from despotlsm, North as
well as South, the South must be moved. The
lever with which it is to be heaved from its founda-
tiops must rest on free press Out OF free
press will grow free thought, and free speech and
free men, and at length free land. Give the
Shareholders enough to do to defend themselves at
home and they will soon cease to buster Of the
slayeholdng right to territory not yet blghted by
the curse of bondage. On this battle-ground,
south Of Mason and Dixon's liue, Mr. Bailey, a
native Kentucsian, has planted himself, and for
years has sustained bis position against fearful
odds. For the sake of liberty in his own
State, be gave up lucrative business and
established this newspaper. The shareholders
have prosecuted him, have mobbed him, once have
burnt him cut, but have never been able to drive
him away, or silence bin. He and his wife and
daughters set the type, print mail, edit, and do all
the other work necessary to make news
paper, and they are glad to do so in great
and good cause and suffer poverty therefor,
though they could return at sny moment
to the old business of Mr. Bailey, and grow
rich at it, Should not such family be sustained
Already The Free South is telling upon Kentucky,
and, without question, its importance to the vote
of that State on the eide Of the party Of Freedom
in the next Presidential election i, Of no little me-
ment The appeal, therefore, which Mr.. Bailey
makes to Northern Republicans and Northern
Anti-Slavery men can hardly be considered per-
sonsl one. He has to life mortgage upon his
bone for 81 500, which is being used against him,
and be asks aid to discharge it-as, if not dis
charged, his enterprise is crippled, and perhaps
destroyed, a. point where RePublicani'm, in
losing little, will lose everything.

Early in the day good many people got out their
sleighs and started for the rural districts; but
within the city precincts the sleighing was very
soon destroyed upon the principal streets, and it
required very extensive stretch of the imagina

bare payments in winter vehicles. The railroad
trains were somewhat obstructed early in the day,
but were all right again by noon. In the upper
part of the island and in the country round about
there was pretty good sleighing during the night,
and large number of citizens were out to enjoy it.

chasing land of the Government at Government
price, holding on till the pressure of settlement
greatly increases the price. and then selling out AZ
