Our neighbor of the frcss is very incou-
sistent, or very careless in The editorial
conduct of his paper. 1t publishes an ex-
tract on Saturday morning from recent
speech delivered BY the notorious Gerrit
Smith, which is exceedingly mild for that
gentleman, on the subject Of the nigger
and the war. The Press asks:
Why should man be incarcerated for
talking about peace, which is only an abb
surdity in the present condition af affairs,
when man like Gerrit Smith is allowed.
to utter treason unrebnked2
Now We have no objection to this, butln
the very next column the Press publishes
the late speech of Col. John Cochraue, Of
New York, in which that gentlemau takes
far more radical ground than Smith, as this
extract will show:
Why if it be necessary 10 save this gov
crnment, would plunge their whole pco
pie, black and white, into one indiscrimi-
nate sea Of carnage and slaughter and
build upon 1t government which shall be
the Vicegerent OF God. Let MS have no
more of this dallying with peoples dilitHutf
conservatism, this doubling in Cabinet
when your soldiers are perishiug in the
I field. Soldiers, you know no such renson-
ing as this. You have arms in yourhands,
aud those arms are for the purpose of ex-
terminating the enemy until he submits to
law, order and the constitution. Then ex-
plode whatever magazine of combustibles
is in your way; set Ere to and consume the
cotton: export the cotton, take property
Whenever you fud it, confscate property
wherever you End it; take the slave and
I bestow him upon the n-slaYehOlder if
| you please; do unto them Us they would do
\ unto you; raise up in your midsta party
interest against the present stakeholder;
distract their couusels Do all this, and if
that be not sufficient take the slave by the
hand, place a musket in it, and bid him in
: Gods name strike for the liberty of the
human race. (Great cheering.)
The Pres endorses the above, saying:
The true doctrine for the conduct of the
\ war, so far as concerns the question
4 What Is 70 be done with the slaves 2-is
/ laid down by Col. Coo ran, a brave, loyal,
patriotic and eloquent man.
The Pres condemns Smiths sentiments
ia one column and endorses his views, ut
tered in more ultra and forcible style, in
the next. The fact of Smiths being an
/ Abolitionist. aud cochrane Breckenridge
democrat, does not shield the Pres from
the charge of inconsistency. We are
afraid that our neighbor of the Press, in
his hot pursuit of Abolidonists and Black
Republicans, (which he very unfairly
classes together, is allowing his zeal TO
outrun his discretion.

CONVERSATION WITH THE coSrRABANDs

Another stout IelIoW asserted thaG the
good Lord had appeared to him in the shape
OF II t'Yankee,' who assured him that his
hour of deliverauce was at hand.
The poor, trusting creatures never seem
ed to question that a war which they hal
heard was all about them must mean their
deliyerance from bondage with which
they do not seem to have been sufficiently
in love to follow the fortunes of their flee
ing masters.
A drivers whip which was picked up
and which the correspondent of the EUea
ing Post now has in his possession, was
shown one of them, and he was asked If he
knew what it was.
aGolly, NASSAU said the negro, with u
suspicious sideloug look at the familiar
whip he saw raised 0loft; "Guess dis mig.
ger knows what dat dare is 2 and he pro-
ceeded to explain the use to which it WIS
applied.
when some doubt was expressed as to
the negro statements in regard to numbers,
one of them answered
awe can't read, but we'se can count"

There seems TO be abundant work for
them to do in picking cotton on Hilton
Head Island, which our troops have occu-
pied, and it is to be hoped that their SER
vices will be in some way turned to ae.
count for this purpose.
Acres of it, already white for the har-
vest, were found within less than mile of
Fort Walker, and will be lost unless spec
Oily attended to.
Several buildings filled with nnginned
cotton were also found further back to-
ward Skull Creek, and on the islands be-
yond that stream similar deposits could be
seen. a heavy smoke which was seen ut
i a distance the negroes reported to come
from lot Of cotton which had been fred
by the retreating rebels.
Forsome reason the negroes appeared at
! first inclined to wait until they were called
| for. before making their appearance, but a
/ few who were dismissed on the first day,
/ spread the report that the Yankees were
Indeed at hand, and the next morning y
! number came in from the mainland, where
their masters had retreated, making their
escape at night in canoe. The reports
must have spread as far up as Beaufort in
an astonishgIy short space OF time, for
when our boats went up there the uegroes
were ready to greet them.
By that singular sort of freemasOuarJ
which seems to be established among the
negroes, the report viii speedily spread
l from one end of the South to the other, and
| before the SHOWS Of December shall have
lwhitensd the plains Of the Nor.hi even In

As the fleet oS transports was passing

Early in the morning after the victory,
the plantation negroes began to come into
camp, aud with the genuine African in.

with a turkey, and q shoulder OF bacon, or.
two shoulders aud q brace of hams, In the

which the fellows would cling to their

duty as hat, would be jerked of with
characteristic obseQuiOusness, the negro

meanwhile his catechism, as well as he
could With the noisy and struggling beast
distracting his attention.
Several who came in brought wagons
loaded with knapsacks and other accoutre-

themselves of some stray horse ora pair
OF plantation mules found abundant occu-

0UASluO- OAVL . 1uuuCbJs
DEAR sins:-On Monday, the first inst, !
was called to Lordstown, to hold an Inquest
had called at the house of widow Catharine
bowman. about a mile south Of the centre
Mrs. Bowman says the woman eame into her
house about eleven o'clock, A. NJ. and wanted
some hot coffee; said that she had been taking
opium. Mrs. b. states that she got the coffee
very quick, but the woman was past taking it,
and died in a few minutes. The woman told
Mrs. b. that her name was Mary Ball. It ap.
peared from other witnesses, that she had call
I'd her name Baldwin. No one could be found
who knew anything about her name or resi-
dence, except what che had told . or 3 persons
TINT day. She had the appearance of being
about IS or 40 years old, dark hair and eyes,
about ST 6 inches high, hair cut short, her
teeth set wide apart and projecting outward;
a slit in the lower part of the left ear as though
a ring had worn its way out, was the only
mark discovered about her. She had q plain
steal ring on the I'd finger Of the left hand; she
wore a gingham hood, n brown calico dress, n
rod wooden shawl with red border and red
fringe. She carried a small black satchel, in
which was found a pair Of shears, a pocket
knife, a pencil, and sundry articles of under
wearing apparel, all of little value.
1t appeared in evidence that she had procur-
ed 25 cents worth of opium ut the centre of
Lordstown, saying that she was IN the habit
of taking it for Is years past. 1t is supposed
that she had taken the whole Of it, as none of
it was found about her, except thatin ker stom.
ach. Drs. d. b. Woods, W. II. Brown and A.
N. Powers made n post mortem examination.
The Jury rendered their verdict that the wo-
lnan (whose name and residence is unknown)
came to her death by taking opium, admins
tered by her own hand. The Jury was compo-
scd of the following gentlemen, viz: Leonard
Woodland, Esq Major Andrew Grove, Ira Hart,
Thomas Duncan, Theodore Huhrenberger and
John Elton, Esqs. Those gentlemen and also
many more of the citizens of Lordstown, es-
pccially MessrR. Christ, Hale and Esq. Harsh
man, and Constable Plat, were of much SER
vice TO me in pursuing the matter to the end
On Tuesday, July ., at 2 o'clock p. NJ. the
corpse was respectfully buried at the center of
Lordstown in the public burying ground, and
at the Townships expense.
Respectfully yours,
GARRY c. REED,
Coroner.
