MILITARY DEsPoTrsM.-The subjoined extract is
from the New York Tribune. 1t shows the treat
ment OF some at least, of the volunteers, who are
to be "tenderly cared for" The affair took pIsce
at Camp Scott:
There between 5000 and $500 men at
the camp, including the As members of PITTSBURGH
! company who are now in the guard-house These
unfortunate men have been subjected to all the in
! dgn1tles which Mr.. Sickles could heap upon them
| Lured to the camp by false representations and
| promises made to be broken, they were put upon
| "short commons" and the dirty work Of tne camp
| required OF them. After suffering this for several
days. and protesting against it in vain, the whole
company of 76 men, Thursday last, marched
past the guard and proceeded to the ferry boat on
board of which thev took passage for New York
Before the boat could get clear of the dock Mr.
| SickleS, armed with his revnvers, appeared at the
| head OF a company of men, armed with loaded
muskets and sabre hayOnets and ordered tne Pitts
burghers to return to Camp Scott. They refused
when he formed his company and threatened to
VI
return and ackp ledge him their lord and mas
ter. As they had no arms they forced to
submit, and were accordingly cbed back to
camp by the triumphant Sickles. Arriving there
they placed in the guard hous-, surround ID
| by armed soldiers, and there they have remained
| since.
During their imprisonment they have been treatc d
like Gagged beasts, their scaut food being fairly
! thrown at them in limited quantities and their
sleeping accommodations such the floor tfered.
! yesterday these men were begging for broom
tnl to- III
this was denied them. AS writ OF hubens corpus
| in reference to them has been served upon Mr.
| Sickles, the prisoners hope to be released to-day

sists in writing letters to the Rochester Erpreas,

JAMAICA PROTESTS AGAINST THE OPERATIONS OF
SPAIN IN ST. DoMrNGo.-Letters from Kingston,
Jamacia, indicate that the recent annexation of St.
Domingo to Spain has been received with verv
great alarm. A public meeting recently held
to consider the subject, and to memorialize the
| Queen. The following was among the resolutions
| agreed upon.
That this attempt annexation without the appro-
val and concurrence of the popular vote of
the Dominican Republic, is contrary to every
sentiment of justice and Iight-involves a
gross outrage upon popular liberty-is direct
violation of the principle now held sacred bv
the leading powers and the enlightened public opin-
ion Of Europe, that it is the nalenable right of
people to settle their own form of government and
could not beconsummated!withou rejecting etern
disgrace upon the Spanish flag.
The memorial to the Queen has been the most nu-
merQusy signed of any yet forwarded from the
island, with the exception of one behalf of Gov
ernor the late Sir Lionel Smith. 1t has received
not less than $500 signatures.
CRoPs IN MIssoURI.-Crops of all kinds look re-
markably well in Missouri. In South Missouri the
wheat harvest has already commenced and Is fuily
| an average crop notwithstanding the ravages OF
| the army-worm in some Iocailues' hemp, IL Is
said neyrr looked better, and corn is very prom
i;ng stands well, and is of good color. The to-
hoeo crop in some localities has suffered from too
mnch rains but as q general thing looks ordinarily
waII Grass has suffered considerably in some sec
tions from the worm, but there will be an average
yield Fruit-apples, peaches, and grapes are very
promising, and the prospect is that abundance OF
each will be gathered.
Tue CROPS IN INDIANA.-Our exchanges in diff
feren parts OF the State represent the wheat crop
as locking poorly and promising meagre yield.
Others say it looks well, and large amount OF
grain will be harvested. The army-worm is doing
considerable damage, but its ravages are mostly
, | confined to meadows Altogether, we think that
| the Weld of wheat will be nearly or quite on an
average compared with the past tive years. This
opinion is based ON statements on the present con-
dition of the s.-Ind'dnoPotas journal.

and recover himself in every possible case. He
