\ Southern Outrage Fully Confirmed.

The barqne Julia E. Arey, of 1homaston,
Me-. arrived at New York on Saturday from
st Thomas. This vessel is in the command
of Capt f. S. Ryder, the second mate being
his son, Joseph B. Ryder, and they are the
parties who were subjected to must fragrant
outrages at the hands of trumped up Vigi-
lance Committee in the town of Jefferson. Ga.
in the early part of November, full accounts
Of which were published at the time, and de-
MED by the sympathizers of the South. A
charge was trumped up against them of hav
ing harbored slave, and of holding CONVEX
sation with the negroes engaged in unload
ing the vessel at the Encera Mills. fifteen
miles from Jefferson. The first charge was
disproved by searching the vessel, and the
second was fully sustained after six negroes
had been most cruelty whipped in order to
make them confess to something damaging
to the defendants. Captain Ryder and his
son were sentenced to fourteen days imlris-
onment and to twenty-five lashes on the bare
back. The whipping was carried into effect
in the public square, and at the end of their
imprisonment they"were put aboard their
vessel and sent to sea. Capt Ryders health

treatment, but his son has recovered Dos

SERFDOM IN RUssIA-Accursed as it is. it
has little or no sim;litude to that greater
culse, absolute slavery. The Russian system
prohibits the degrading traffic in human be-
ings. like cattle, in the market; it requires
sale of land to accompany the sale of every
serf; it guards female purity, recognizes the
marriage tie, forbids the separation OF faml-
lies, and gives the wife her liberty as soon
as the husband has obtained his; 1t allows
in general to the field serf the right OF voting
for his own village officers, and gives them a
practical if not legal guaranty for the secu-
rity of such property as they may acquire,
beyond the rent paid to their lord. When
we remember what slavery is in our own
land, and how northern men are even yet
found to uphold it as consistent with Chris
tiality and civilization, We are tempted to
wonder at the fanaticism Of the Russian en-
peror and his mobiles in meddling with their

peremptorily called for it. Its passage was

those who are striving to make some Sort Of

tariff, to suspend hostilites little while, and
try the abused measure. and see whether il is

Give it a fair trial. The country, years ago,
prospered exceedingly under a tariff much

Others were stimulated by the offer of pecu-

away from their usual places of work for sew

rendered them dependent on their daily labor
for support, they were during this time abun-

squandered in bar-rooms and tiisreputable
places The names of the conspirators will
not at present be divulged.
After the discovery of the plot, strict
watch was kept by the agents of detection
over the movements of the conspirators, and
measures were adopted to guard against any
attack which they might mediate upon the

Nr LincOlm's Peril of -is>a,siuat;ou at
Baltimore.

The Albany Evening Journal publishes an
account, from q gentleman perfectly informed
and entirely reliable, Of plot to assassina;e
president Lincoln in Baltimore, when on his
way to Washington, and which danger lie a.
voldeL by his night journey from Harrisburg.
There is 10 doubt of the existence and Gts
perate chan iacter and design Of such con-
srlracy. The conspirators names are known
to responsible parties, including the presi-
dent. They were originally combination Of
twenty men. banded together undera solemn
oath to aSsassinate the president elect. The
leader of the conspirators was an Italian ref
ugee, a barber, well known in BaltimoIe,who
assumed the name of Orsini as indicative OF
the part he was to perform. 1t was arranged,
in case Mr. Lincoln should pass safely over
the railroad to Baltimore, that the conspira-
tors should mingle with the crowd which
might surround his carriage. and, by preten-
ding to be his friends,be enabled to approach
his person, when, upon signal from their
leader, some Of them would shoot at Mr. Lin
coin with their pistols, and the Others would
throw into his carriage hand grenades filled
with detonatlng powder, similar to those used
in the attempted assassination of the Emper-
Or Louis Napoleon. 1t was intended that III
the confusion which should result from this
attack, the as,aants should escape to a YES
sci which was waiting in the harbor, and be
carried to Mobile, in the seeding state Of
Alabama.
This nice scheme was frustrated by the la
Dor of an experienced detective, who was en-
gagged at Baltimore in the business some
three weeks prior to Mr. Lincoln's expected
arrival there, employing both men and wom-
en- to assist h N. giving money freely TO the
secession cause, and inaugurating himself
completely into the confidence ofthe plotters.
The characters and pursuits of the conspira-
tors were various. Some of them were i'm

patriotism, and justified their acts by the ex-

Without meaning to be uncharitable, We
cannot help suggesting that this war upon
the measure in advance has for its foundation
the fear that after all the tariff will prove
most bene6ccnt measure to the revenues Of
the government and the industry of the coun-
try; and if Mr. Morrill, can contrive to sur
vive the attacks Of the fre-eaters of Virginia
and the free-traders of New York city, ana
