PHILADELPHIA, Nov.


in the Circuit Court this morning. the
case of Patrel. the pirate, was called, but
postponed til next Monday. While the
Assistant District Attorney was urging
the trial, Judge Grier said he could not
consent to have the regular business OF
the court interrupted. It seemed ike a
farce to try them at this time, when the
country played at civil war. The die
tates of humanity would counsel the gov
eminent TO treat caplves on the sea the
same as those taken on the land, and he
could not understand the policy of hang
ing the first, and holding the latter as
prisoners and releasing them. Let the
rebellion be crushed, and God grant it
may be speedily. and then these men can
be tried for treason or piracy, and he
would assist, no matter how much he
mig 1t be called Jelfries or Scrogg5.

Great depreciation in Negroes.

Great EFcprecIasiz,ss ih ScSFOts.
The Louisville Journal says:
We see it stated that the average cash
value of male slaves at present In South
Carolina, as shown BY the auction sales,
&c, 1915. females $500 Thus it appears
that, for the first time in the history Of that
State or of any State, male slaves are much
less valuable than female. The reason no
doubt is, that men don't like to buy male
slaves, knowing the strong probability if
no, the certainty of their being seized for
military service. This strongly indicates
the condition Of things there.
The average value of male and female
slaves in South Carolina hitherto has been
a thousand dollars. SO the depreciation
upon the hundred and eighty five thousand
slaves Of the State, allowing the number
of males and females to be equal, is about
two hundred and sixty four millions of
dollars. What monstrous loss for a
sing le State, especially State no richer
than South Carolina. She has suffered
fearfuly from this war. and, if it come not
to speedy close. her sufferings will be
tenfolI what they have yet been. Terri
Gle WAS her crime. and terrible has been,
and more terrible will be, her punish
ment.
If the depreciation in the value of slaves
has already been so great in South Carroll
ma. remote from the scene Of war, what
has it probably been in Virginia and Ten

PRACTsCaANEG,so EQUALITY

, Secretary Seward has been frequently
charged with entertaining negro equality
sentiments, but the fact has been strenu.
ously denied by his friends. Aside from
the evidence contained in his speeches and
letters, a new proof of the charge is con
tanned in the following, which we find In
an exchange. 1t will be remembered that
the Supreme Court decided in the bred
Scott case, that a negro could no! become
a citizen of the United States. To admit
them TO citizenship would be to place
them on political equality with IL e
white
Mr. Gerald Ralston, the noted Colonial
ZIONIST, writes to Lord Brougham a letter,
in which he says:
81 have great pleasure in informing
your Lordship that the decision of the
Federal Court in the bred Scott case is
practically annulled by the present gov
eminent at Washington. | have before
me the pas sport granted to Rev. Henry
III. Garuet, "a black man Of note and Of
great distinction among the negroes Of

first discovered, hurried preparations were
made for the removal OF the sick and

The news from Europe, per the last
steamer, shows that the rebel emissaries in
London and Paris were very confident and
noisy in the belief that the necessities Of
the manufacturing interests will lead to an
interference in the American contest for
the purpose of breaking the blockade 10 Sc
cure supply OF cotton. 1t is, neverthe-
less, evident that their cause is losing
ground both with the people and with the
press.
The London Post, Pamerston's organ,
has strong article against any interfer-
ence, and exposing the fallacy Of the no
ton that a recognition OF the rebel States
would re-opeD the cotton trade, but that,
on the contrary, the recognition would
only increase the rigor of the blockade and
any interference would be an act of war
The Shipping Gazette continues to de-
the wrongs done to British ships, and says
that some action on the part of the British
government is indispensable.
