MISCELLANEOUS,
COrOneT'S INQUEST.

A Coroner's inoucst was held on the 22d day of
February, 1861, on the body of ADAM JOSEPH LINK,
who was found at his residence in Evansville Pigeon
township, Vanderburgh county, Indiana. The
verdict of the Jury was that he came to his death
bv apopIexy, caused by intemperance. At the time
of his death he about forty-seven years of age,
about five feet ten inches high, and at the time of
inquest he was dressed in a white shirt and draw
ers and had no property on his person, far as
we have been enabled to ascertain.

Mr.. CovER-Dedr Siir.--On reading

think 1 know that in writing | am in dan
ger of being verbose or obscure, and per-
haps both in the same time. wrote that
letter in great haste on Monday before
breakfast. ! thought, perhaps you MIC bit
make an item out Of it. But little thought
OF seeing such letter in print. 1t is prob
able that in my haste | omitted some that
| meant to write, and wro,e words that |
| did not design. The man with whom
took breakfast on Wednesday morning
will think ! am very awkward in descrip-
ton, and represent him as very dull. |
told him my business; be asked me if |
collected sany, the emphasis showing that
he thought it was noticeable thing If |
collected any at all, these times. Here, in
trying 10 he brief. / was obscure. There
are two or three things equally noticeable,
at least by myself; it may not attract the
attention of others, but / wish now to review
my last and add further remarks. AS to
the hospitality of the people, a particular
detail OF every days reception, would alone
do justice to it. That may not fall into
ny error OF yerbosity | omit it, but think
may, and even ought, in the same connec-
ton, refer to my entertainment at the pub
lie house, kept by MIR. Howe at jamestown.

wish, and a Dill SO low that thought be
observed the Golden Rule. From my own
experience and what | saw, would think
it emphatically good house. The con-
Versations that arise on the affairs of the
nation, the patriotic language-expressions
Of unwavering confidence, especially Gen.
Scott and President Lincoln, that the cause
OF cur country is the cause of God; these
conversations are generally pleasant.
do not know why | need hesitate to
state as to the reception ofthepaper. Edi-
tors are so much like common men that
they will sometimes say things that com
mon men think to be Dragging. Why not
allow their agents to brag for them? CT
that good old English word bray is the cor
rect one to use.) | wish now to be allow
ed to state that among the many scores to
whom | have spoken concerning the Her
aid only two spoke disrespectfully; they
were together. 1t is true, that many at
this time want the Galena tri-weekly and
daily, on account Of obtaining the news
quicker, and this peculiarly Of the present
times operates against rapid increase of
the subscription list.

you insert this lelter--rather as an apology

disinterested to have my name in print.

a General B .nlxrupt Law.


A Philadelphia correspondent Of the
New York Tribune says;
"a very powerful movement Is gong
on here to secure the passage Of a bank
rupt law by the July Congress. It is said
that on the books Of several commercial
agencies, there are the names Of 10000
business raen whom the times have pros
trated all over the country, aud for whom
there is no recovery OF chance for future
usefulness except by Bankrupt Law
This large body of men will be invoked to
petition Congress for relief. Indeed, the
condition OF the whole country will require
something Of the kind before long. The
proposed law is very different from the
last, which was enacted as a temporary ex-
pedient, while this is intended to be per-
nanent. 1t allows all the States insolvent
laws TO stand exactly as they are, thus
permitting local legislation on which bank
rupt may be discharged, but It's great
festure is, that when such have passed the
State coults. the bankrupt law makes such
good for the whole Union,

Mr.. Giddings writes letter With refer.
enee to the ''contaband OF war" from
which lie deduces the following conclu-
sions:
FIRST, That slaves belonging e an enc
my are now, and have ever been regarded
as belligepents; may be lawfully captured
and SCI free, sent out Of tile State or other
wise disposed Of at tie viii Of the Execu-
live.
Second, That AZ slaves enable an enemy
to continue and carry on The war now wao-
ed against our Government. it becomes tie
duty Of all officers and loyal citizens to use
every proper means 30 induce the slaves to
leave their masters, and cease sending aid
and comfort to the rebels.
THIRD, That in ali cases it becomes the
duty Of the Executive, and Of all Executive
officers, and loyal citizens to aid, assist and
encourage those slaves who have escaped
from rebel masters to continue their flight
and maintain their liberty.
Fourth, That to send back fnritive
slave o a rebel master would be lending
aid and assistance to the rebellion. That
those who arrest and send back such fuai-
tives identify themselves with the enemies
Of our Government, and should be indicted
ana punished rs traitors.

Foreign News.

Our dispatches contain some very i'm
portant news from abroad Substantially
The news is that England bad decided not
TO allow the entry Of prigateers at any Of
their ports--tLat France Intended to abide
by the law prohibiting piivateers from re-
naming in port over twenty four hours
and that England and France have sent a
proposition to Washington based on the
declaration Of the Paris Congress.
England has thus clearly revealed her at
titude and purpose, which is in strict har-
mony with what we have all along assured
it might be, notwithstanding the proclama-
ton at which our Jealous American papers
generally, took such deep offence. The
Chicago Tribune, one Of the papers which
denounced her the most strongly, thus
comments on the news received:
1.-The welcome "ews brought by yester-
days steamer, that the English Govern
ment had decided not to admit any priya-
teers into English ports, is the first practi-
cal assurance that has been received from
that quarter, that the Ministry was not
really In league with the rebels Of the Sc
cedsd States, to drive our commerce off
the sea. Now the recognition of the trail
tors as belligerents, according to interna-
tional law, though damaging to the moral
position Of the Union in the eyes Of the
civilized world, will have little practical
worth. 1t is simply an assurance to them
that their privateers will not be treated as
pirates when overhawled by English crui-
nothing more. Aow,if Great Britain
IS not determined upon a quarrel with the
Republic, in consequence Of the unayoidably
frequent misunderstanding which will grow
out 81 the blockade, the Government at
Washington will be able to make good the
recent declaration Of Gen. Scott that he
will crush out The rebellion in year.

COMFORT FOR REBELLIous PosTMAs-
TERs.-A list Of seeding postmasters has
been made out at the Postoflice Depart
ment, to which are appended the amounts
for which they are proven delinquent
Duplicate lists will be given TO the COM
manding officers Of the various divisions
moving southwark, with accompanying in
structions concerning the treatment Of
the same. 1t is stated on good authority
that no class of men will meet with more
severe punishment, or more summary, than
that which will be visited upon these men.
We hope that all Of these delinquent
scoundrels, who fall into the hands Of the
U. ). authorities, will be tried, and, ii
found guilty, sent to the penitentiary.-

Gen. Butlor and the Nissers.


The rebels now seeking by every means
in their power, the destruction Of the GOV
eminent of the National Union, employ
large numbers of their slaves to haul pro-
Visions, to build walls, open trenches,
throw up breast-works, carry munitions OF
war, and do all other things which may
promote the interests and sustain the power
of the insurrection. Some of these MO.
gers fall into the hands of the federal
troops. As soon as they do, the South
rons demand them to be restored, in order
that they may aid in carrying on the war
Now the Republican says they must be
restored Immediately. But why restored I
If the wagons picks or spades fall into
our hands, tieg are not restored; if the
horses, or ammunition fall into our hands,
they are not restored; if their white men
fall into the eneny's hands, they are not
restored. Why! Because whatever aids
the enemy IN carrying on the war is con-
traband and is never restored. Why, then,
restore the niggers? They are peculiar
institutions. Verify, they must be. Re
store them to strengthen the enemy, and
enable him to conquer in the fight That
is not war. The South has gone to war
to place her peculiar institution on a better
footing. Let her then either not employ
her institutions to carry on the war, or let
them take the common fate of war;
Suppose the "niggers" appear next as
soldiers in the rebel army. Suppose they
are made prisoners. Are they still to lie
restored, as peculiar institutional Is il
proper, even under such circumstances, to
shoot one of those institutions? These are
some important points arising as the com
mencement OF war got up by stare
otcnerS to protect slace property, and is
on par with the folly Of the whole
movement. This war, commenced BY the
South, is not prosecuted by the Federal
Government for the emancipation Of slaves,
nor for the preseiv walton Of slavery, or any
other interest Of the rebels. 1t is prose-
cuted to pat dorm ilasurrectson, and the
rebels must look to the preservation of
their property for themselves. Ii they
don't want their peculiar institutions shot,
let them not set them to shooting our
troops. III they don't want them treated
as q traband of war, then let them not
use them as such. 1t they renounce and
throw Oft their allegiance TO the nation be-
cause their nlggers are not sufficiently Sc
cure-if they wage aoar to propade 'aeac
aud better aud stronger guards for niggers
why, let them turn the war to that ac-
count, and profit by it, ana flourish in int
way. But let us hear no more Of a fugitive
slave law, which they have pronounced un-
constitutional, and rejected. Really,we ex-
pect next to hear OF the Virginians sueing
out a peace warrant against old Butler, to
prevent his ieturning their fire; or maybe
the Alabamiaas may petition Congress to
station fifty or ore hundred thousand sol
diers at proper points in their State, to
keep down seryile Instruction, and thus
render their efforts more hopeful for the
slaughter Of federal troops IN Virginia
