4 Northern Sea Captain Imp, isoned and
Wrapped IN Georgia for Expressing Repl5i-
can Sentments.-Capt. f. W. Ryder, of the
bark Julia Z. Avery, and his son Joseph R..
RYDER, mate of the same vessel, which ar
rived in this port on Saturday last relate the
following account of their treatment while
in the port OF Encero Mills, Camden County,
Georgia. Captain Ryder states that his
vessel is owned in Thomastown, Maine, and
that in November they sailed for Encero-
Mills, Georgia, with an assorted cargo. On
the night of the 5th Of November, q negro
came on board the vessel Offering oars for sale.
and proposing to wash any dirty linen they
might have on board. lie remained some
time and then went away, carrying some of
the captain linen with him for the purpose
Of washing it. On the following night, fif-
teen or twenty white men came on board,
and enquired for the captain and mate, stat
ing that they had been informed that Captain
Ryder and his son were Abolitionsts, aud
that they had been seen in communication
with negroes, and had been heard 10 express
Abolition sentiments in the presence of sew
eral persons. The crew of the bark informed
them that Captain Ryder and his mate were
not on board whereupon they became great
ly excited, commenced to search the vessel.
and declared they would hang Ryder and his
son to the yard-arm of their own vessel if
they should succeed in finding them. They
also overhauled the vessels papers, in the
expectation Of finding, as they said, some
Abolition documents among them.
On the Captain and his son returning to
the bark, and hearing what had occurred in
their absence, they at once determined to
surrender themselves, and accordingly. on
the 9TH of Nov, they gave themselves M
and were taken to the town of Jefferson.
fifteen miles below. Here they were arraigned
before Vigilance Committee, but no evid-
ence against them being forthcoming, they
were sent to a hotel and detained until the
following day, when they learned that the
only evidence offered was that they said they
were Republicans, and would vote for Lin
coin If they had the chance.
The verdict Of the Committee was that
they should receive twenty-five lashes each,
and they were then sent to jail and detained
fourteen days, after which they were taken
IN front of the Court House, and in presence
OF large crowd were stripped to their shirts.
and the whipping inflicted on them. They
were then sent on board their vessel.
They afterwards learned that the party
who visited their vessel subsequently went to
