WNo event since the commencement of the
present war has caused more general rejoicing
among the loyal portion of the American peo-
PIE than the recent capture of the rebel envoys,
ShdeN and Mason. The arrest would have been
peculiarly gratifying, even if they had been en-
gagged on mission from which the TRAITORS ex-
peeted to derive vast benefits, because they were
two Of the most adroit, influential, bitter, and
determined foes Of the Union. Slidell occu-
pied 30 important position that he expected
to be made the President of the Southern Con-
fsderaey, and did far more to promote the Sc
eesnon movement than his successful rival, JEFF
tesson Davis. Ex-senator Mason is one of the
wort traitors this country ever produced, and
has long been actively engaged in the unholy
task OF plunging Virginia, Notwithstanding her
strong conservative elements, into the vortex of
rebellion.

Traitors in Public Service.

1t is unquestionable that there are traitorous
spies in the public Offices at Washington. They
are not mere lockers on, but employees of the
Departments. They are men who are supported
by the government they would destroy. A
telegram was found at Port Royal from jeff Da-
Wis. announcing the sailing ofthe fleet, and say
ing that it was destined for Port Royal. This
could not have been known only to a few-a
very few. The leak is, therefore, confined to
close quarters. Why cannot the "leaky vessel"
be discovered? i1i 3
But there is consolation in the fact that while
the sailing and destination of the fleet were
thus known long in advance, the rebels could
not make any formidable show of resist
ance to our possession of their sacred soil -
This demonstrates tticr ceakaess. Their whole
force is on the Potomac. Their early ipforma-
tion and ample facilities availed nothing, be-
eanse the material was not there.

Jim Lanes Policy.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Democrd
writing from Springfield, asserts that General
LANE is not in favor of freeing the negroes, pc,
&c. but is in favor of sonfseating the property Of
armed rebels, whe ther it consist OF negroes OF
horses. 1t is not because the negroes are slaves
that he'would free them, but because they are
part and parcel Of the estate of armed traitors
In other words, he words, he would confscate
their property without regard to the nature of
it. 1t is certainly the common sense view Of
the case. and should be the policy Of the Gov
ernment.

nights Of painful watching withe poor. suffering,
tecthing children. Unlike all the preparations
OF opium which are usually Got up TO make
children sleep. and which simply stupify the
child, the Soothing Syrup gives not only rest.
but vigor and health; tho little fellow will
wake up bright, cheerful and refreshed. 1t is
the bowels. As we freely received the advice
which calls forth the above thanks, we freely
give it to Others and say to all mothers, go pur-
chase the Soothing Syrup for your child, and
you will thank us for this advice. Sold every

Mason and Slicel.

Inc capture Of these rebel Ministers going
abroad Is certainly streak Of good luck. and
does much credit to the sagacity and prompt
action of Com, WILKES. The blow will prove
" severe one to the rebels. as they counted much
on their influence in securing the favorable &C.
ton Of Englasd and France. The Southern
Press has boasted largely of the escape of MA
son and sLIDELL through our blockading fleet
and OF the honors paid them at Havanna, which
VIII make their capture by the gallant WILKES
.ue more humiliating. Both are traitors of the
deepest dye, and should be made examples of.

Bailing secesIl Prisoners.

Three Virginia rebel prisoners named
Hood, Barren and Compton, have been
ordered to be let to bail at Wheeling by
Judge Jackson, the parties to give in the
aggregate S45, 900 security for their future
loyal behavior. They were also recogui-
zed to report themselves every twenty
days to the commandant of the nearest
military post. The prisoners we're all vio-
lent secessionists when the war broke out,
but now claim to be tanned down somewhat
and profess to wish to live in peace at
home again. ~ i.l5 -ai''i,a' 20 9"
But it would seem that the neiehbors
of Hood and Compton have but little con-
fidence in their professions Of loyalty, and
will not tolerate their presence. Hood
procured bail at Wheeling, and returned
home to Marion county Va. The people
at once drove him away, and he is now
wandering about in Pennsylvania. They
would not tolerate on bail man who had
been engaged in the rebel army. Compton
was taken by the Commissioners to Mari
on county to procure bail, buta crowd as
sembled at Fairmonnt and demanded that
Compton should be given up TO them.--
The officere appealed to the people, and it
required all their exertions to save the
prisoner. He was not permitted to get
bail, and the officers becoming satisfied
that Compton would not be allowed. to re-
main alive at Fairmount, brought him back
to the Wheeling Jail. ,ra, ...s 15 ID

A CHARLESTON PLEASURE PARTY.

A curious fact has come to light. Our re-
connoisaRce on Tuesday was considered in the
light Of an attack, by the rebels, and they sent
to Charleston some very highly-eolored reports.
They represented our fleet as having made two
attempts to take the batteries, but each was so
warmly contested. that our fleet withdrew.
The reports. therefore, of the defeat of our
fleet excited The curiosity of the Charlestonians,
and many of them. including the British and
French Consuls. and quite number of ladies,
the elite of the city, came up in the rebel ioil.
Ia, and Witnessed what was TO be a splendid
victory for their forces. The result was far diff
ferent from what they expected. When the
feet opened fire upon the batteries and the reb-
el fotllla. Com. Tatnall had other business to
attend to, and he, with the British and French
Consuls, and the ladies, steamed back to Charles
ton at rate that astonished ever. themselves.

CONDITION oE BEAUFc RT.

The correspondent of the New York Herald
describes the first visit to Beaufort by a Lieu
tenant with flag of truce:
On landing, Lieutenant Srrotson was met by
number of negroes, who seemed greatly re-
joiced 10 see him, and who cheered Justify for
the Stars and Stripes. They informed Lieut..
Sprotson that there were but two whites left in
the village, and took him to one, who met the
Lieutenant at the door Of his store waving a
flag of truce, and exhibiting in his manner ev-
cry indication Of deep fear. This man. a north
erner by birth, reported that the negroes were
perfectly wild, and were plundering stores and
dwellings, wantonly destroying property of
every kind and carrying off everything of a
portable character that they could lay their
hands upon. @s
They had been worked up to pitch of fren-
~ by their masters, who shot several negroes
who refused to accompany them into the woods,
and away from the village to prevent them
from Communicating with the United States
forces; end that the negroes were retaliating in
this manner, and that the lives of the remain
ing whites and their property were horribly in
secure. A perfect Saturnalia had begun.
hiH HOW SLAVES LOVE THEIR MASTERS
A boat load Of negroes came aboard the YES
sci, and they were distinctly informed by Capt.
Ammen that we lad not come for the purpose
of taking them away from their masters. nor of
obliging them TO continue in state of slavery
and that they might go to Beaufort or to Hilton

wealthiest and largest slare-owners in South
Carolina, where the institution is said to assume
its mildest form, and where, consequently, the
slaves are more contented and happier than in
nny other part of the South. The negroes here
would never leave their masters. they would
fight and lay down their lives for them, if ne
cessary, before they would allow ''Lincoln' S
