scene at the sale Of the wnnderer


Not long since the yacht WandereF, con-
demned as a SLAYER, was sold at Savannah,
Georgia, by order of the United States Court,
A private letter from gentleman who was
present at the sale, the Providence Journal says,
gives the following account of the remarkable
| scene:
When the auctioneer commenced, Mr.. Lamar
stepped up and said "Gentlemen, this vessel
belongs to me in every sense of the word She
mas been taken from me by the high hand of
the law. The United States claim her, but
saw she is mine; and shall not expect any one
to bid against me- And bid one dollar for
her," Mr.. Van Horn bid against him, and the
price was run up to $4,000, at which the vessel
was knocked down to Mr.. Lamar.
The successful bidder then turned to Mr.. Van
Horn and with words too profane and indecent
to be repeated, knocked him down. The fallen
man rose to defend himself, but the sympathy
of the company was SO manifestly with the as
sailant, and the indications of violence and
blood shed so plain, that his friends took him
away, some of Lamar's hackers calling out,
"Charley, kill him." Which the writer of the
letter does not doubt would have been prompt
ly done, had any resistance been made. Savan-
nah has always been regarded as an orderly
city, and one in which, if anywhere south of
the Pontomsc, the laws against the slave trade
could be enforced with the full support ofpub-
lie sentiment.

A SLAVE SURRENDERED TO HIS hAsTER.-In
July, 1856, "a slave named Mason Barbour, aged
40 years, belonging to Absolem Ridgely, resid-
ing nsar Wheeling. Virginia, stole away his
body and brought it to free State. A short
time since it was ascertained that he was at
work about ten miles from Columbus, Ohio.
and his former master procured warrnnt for
his arrest from Charles G. Brown, United States
Commissioner of this city, and the absconding
chattle was taken into custody by Deputy Mar
shal Lowe Yesterday he was brought before
the Commissioner who issued the warrant. and
it being satisfactorily related that he lowed
service and labor 10 Mr.. Ridgely, the Com
missioner remanded him to the custody of
the Marshal, who conveyed him across the
river, and lodged him in the Jail at Covington,
from whence he viii be taken to his former
home. Eftt
The property" expressed himself perfectly
satisfied with the arrangement. He said be
had enjoyed two years of freedom, and had
worked most Of the time, and had not single
five cent piece to show for his services; and
could not have had any less if he worked life
time for his master "God bless you, massa," :"
said the darkie, as the decision was rendered,
"I'se satisfied rise to no 'stinctiOn in dis eoun-
try. Use gwin back wild Ye to yer ole home"
and he went without murmur.-C Cincinnati

Cost Of Frelghting 70 utak

1t was stated some time ago that the great
Government Contractors for the Utah Expedi-
tion, Messrs Russell, Mayors and WadelI, had
cleared million and half of dollars! An no
marvel, for Utah correspondent of the Chica-
go Press, under date of Salt Lake City, Dec.
l1th, thus writes:
enclose you copy of the grand freighting
contract made in the Quartermasterd department
at Washington City, with Russell, Mayors and
Wadell, to haul freight from Kansas to various
points on the Utah route. This contract has
been the subject of much comment and criticism
in and out Of the army; and, as you will per
ceiye, publication OF the schedule of the rates or
prices per 100 lbs to be paid, has been kept
back Still, it has generally been given out
that the freighters got $2l 60-l00 cents per
pound from Leavenworth to Utah, and it has
until lately, been SO believed. But, to the utter
sstonishment of all Christians here in Mormon
dom, the schedule of rates has at last been fore
ed from the Department in Washington, and
send you a copy of it herewith. What do you
suppose ought to be the astonishment of honest
people to find that carriers are getting $4 50l00
per 100 lbs, per 100 miles! That is, about
$50 per 100 lbs from Leavenworth to Salt Lake
City!
1t has long been going on at Washington
the giving out of the most swindling contracts
imaginabIe-but it is not known to many
Heretofore, flor 80 years,) the Quartermaster's
Department expenaed only half a million per
annum until the last ten years. 1t has now be-
come the medium through which more than ten
millions are annually expended, and last year,
think, reached eighteen millions

The Threatened European War.

While the latest newspaper intelligence from
Europe indicates that the gathering war clouds
are breaking away, it is stated that dispatches
received at the State Department by the last ar
rival from Europe, from our Ministers at Lon
don, Paris, Madrid, and Vienna, all agree thatwar
seems inevitable, newspaper articles to the con-
tray notwithstanding. A Washington dispatch
SAYS, s'Mr Dallas and Mr.. Mason state that ex-
tensive preparations are being made, and mat
tiers on every side look warlike. Scarcely any
thing else is talked Of AMI this question absOrbs
