FORNEY wINsLOW.
The following appeared in the Philadelphia Press
OF yesterday:
After the adjournment of Congress it is my pur.
pose to address series of respectful letters to the
Hon. Warren Winslow, representative in Con-
gress from North Carolina, and the distinguished
author OF the minority report, signed BY himself
alone, from the Covode Committee. Regarding
his report as the defence of the Administration
against the allegations of the majority, and in
great part an authorized attack upon Governor
Walker and others, myself inclusive, | propose to
take up and answer the items of this defence
Called before that committee by act of mine,
and respon sible for of its Investigations hav-
ing neither counselled, suggested, nor prompted
any OF its accusations against the highest officer
in the Republic claim the right of indicating
my position, as an Independent journalist against
the indictment Of Mr.. Winslow; and if | do not
prove not only the integrity and consistency of the
position have maintained against the Administra
ton, but incidentally the general Justice of the
majority report from the Covode Committee, to
the satisfaction of all unprecedented minds will
agree, over my own hand and seal, to plead guilty
to the arraignment of my enemies In justice to
Mr.. Winslow. and in advance of the publication of
these letters, will spread before the readers of the
| Press his entire report. 1--WE.
| STRANGE DISTURBANCES OF VEsSELs-NEw York
THE PLACE FOR THE OUTFIT OF SLAvERs.-We some
times read of the departure from port of ships which
are never again heard of, and it is supposed that
| this is thing of rare occurrence. But we learn
| from inspection of certain custom house books
that in one branch of commercial enterprise it is
not at all uncommon. In fact, there vessels
| leaving this harbor nearly every month which
never come back, and of the fate of which no re-
ports made. The bond required of the
master of any vessel leaving ports, in regard
to his crew, spulates that he shall exhibit a
certified copy of the list to the first boarding
| officer at the first port in the United States in
which he shall arrive on his return thereto, and
| then and there also produce the persons named
therein to the said boarding officer, except any of
| the persons contained in the said list who may be
| discharged in foreign country, with the consent
of the consul, vice-consu commercial agent, or
| vice commercial agent there residing, signited in
writing under his hand and official seal, be pro-
duced to the Collector of the District within which
he may arrive, aforesaid, with the other persons
| comprising the crew, aforesaid, who may
have died or absconded, or who may have been
| forcibly impressed into other service, of which
satisfactory proof shall be then also exhibited to
the said last mentioned Collector then and in such
cases. the above obligation shall be void and of
effect, otherwise it shall abide and remain in full
| force and virtue"
This bond must be signed by the master and
some responsible resident OF the port, and regular
| traders held strictly accountable for the pro-
per execution of its conditions. Nevertheless, we
learn that more than fifty vessels have left the Uni
ted States-twenty of them from New 1ork-which
have failed to comply with the requisitiOn. The
reason of the neglect is explained at once when we
are told that the greater part OF these vessels have
cleared for Loango, Ambrez, and other places on
the western coast of Africa. They have, nc
| doubt, engaged in the slave trade, and their own
ers have found it more profitable, having taken on
board and landed one of their peculiar cargoes, to
apply the torch to them rather than return to our
| ports.-N. Y. Post.
Mrs. JOHN DEAN.-The statement that Mrs. John
Dean is poor (says the Cincinnati Commercial
Tines) is a mistake A deceased uncle left each Of
Mr.. Boxers four children $4,000. Mary Ann has
already, will shortly have, that sum at her dis
posal. Mr.. Boxer left an estate valued at $500,
600. He dsinherited Mary Ann and son who hat
always taken her part, and thereby offended the
father. But it is understood neither of the two
children who were favored, nor the mother, share
in the sentiment of Mr. b, and doubtless the estate
will, in tho end, be about equally divided.
For EURoPE-The steamship Africa, for Europe
sailed on Wednesday from New York, carrying ont
hundred and sixty passengers among them Prince
de JoiuviIle, Sidney Webster, former private sec
rotary of Franklin Pierce Countess Villenema, o
Cuba General j. H. Adams, of Charleston; Seno
Rivas, of Cuba; Mr.. l.. Hunt British Consul a
Porto Rico; Bishop Kip and Viscomte de GabriSe
French Minister at Mexico.
The Sanitary Convention had the full round o
Boston high honors They had a sail down tn
harbor and a supper on Deer Island, and Dime
at the Revere House, with speeches by the Cover
nor of the Commonwealth, and Edward Everett
and little poem by Dr. Holmes. That which i
vouchsafed to the most favored OF Athenian guest
was theirs
A Mississippi correspondent of the New Orlean
PicdyUne says: see that paper in your city esti
mates the growing crop at 100000 bales; it viii
be fully that, should nothing unusual occur. 1t ha
now fine start, and with dry picking i
will exceed that quantity.
The challenge offered by the Chicago Zouav
Cadets, to drill against any company in the Unite
States, has been accepted by the New Orlean
Zouave company, and the contest will take pac
in st. Louis about the middle of June.
The Buffalo Republic understands than an agree
ment was entered into in that city, the It'll
