EBENSBURG, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER % 1861

In New Orleans he became, we believe,
first gambler and then lawyer. That he
dropped the first profession for the second
is an evidence of the shrewd sense which
has always characterized him, as it opened
to him wider field for the display of his
peculiar abilities, without cutting him off
from the use of those talents in which he
excels. Fraud is his element, and even
at home he is known as Baron Plaque-
mine," in allusion to the election frauds
by which, in 1874, he defeated the election
Of Henry Clay, and secured that OF Polk.
The Houmas Land Grants, a later and
even more gigantic swindle, gave him a
reputation which even New Orleans could
hardly tolerate. He has been for many
years in public life, as a member Of the
Louisiana Legislature. a member of the
House Of Representatives and Of the Sen
ate at Washington. Once before he has
been accredited as Minister Plenipoten-
tiary, having 0een sent TO Mexico at the
time when war was about to break out be-
tween this and that country. But Mexico
refused to receive him. He was a man Of
weight in Mr. Buchanan's Administration,
where he used his power and influence TO
prepare the EOuIl lbI hCcCSScicu, anu "
cripple the means and resources Of the in
coming Administration.
Slidell is remembered in his youth by
many old gentleman in this city. He was
the son Of Il tallow chandler, parentage
of which he had the weakness to be
ashamed, and which was a source then,
and probably is now, of continua! NORTH
cation. 1t is related Of him that on one
occasion IN conversation with lady noted
and dreaded for her wit, he expressed 4
desire for foreign travel. "Ah - said the
lady, 81 have no doubt you would find
yourself very much at home in Greece !'
Slidell withdrew precipitately from the
encounter. That young man" said his
prosecutor, as he retreated, "needs TO be
dipped over again, for he has not been
well n,oulded" He will now be put where
he can reflect at leisure upon the peaceful
and respectable qualities of the father and
grandfather-whow was also tallow-chan-
dler-of whom he has always been ashamed.

CAPTURE OF MASON AND SLIDELL,

The absorbing topic at present Is the
capture and subsequent confinement In
Fort Warren of MIR. JEFF. Davis Rebel
emissaries, J. NJ. Mason and John Sill
dell Herewith we append full details Of
the eminently bold and ingenious exploit
of Commodore Wilkes, together with in
teresting biographical sketches of the
principal actors in the affair."
Commodore Wilkes, while returning
from the coast of Africa III the San ia
cinto, stopped at Havana to take in coal
and while there he learned that Alessrs
Mason and Sldell were to leave on the
9TH. on the British Mail steamer Trent,
for England. Copt Wilkes heard, about
the same time, that the Sumter was off
Laguayra. and he determined to capture
her if possible.
While steaming through the Bahama
Channel he encountered the Trent, and
brought her to by firing two shots across
her bow. Lieut. Fairfax, of the San ia
cinto. was Immediately sent oD board with
boats crew and marines, and asked OF
the master of the Trent to see his passen-
ger list. This was denied, and Lieut..
Fairfax then stated that his purpose was
take into custody Messrs. Slidell and Ma
son, whom he knew to be on board, and
those who accom- panied them. The rebel
enyoys were soon recognized, but they
refused Lieut. Fairfax's demand that they
proceed on board the San Jaclnto, and
Immediately went below to their state
rooms. They were followed, and Lient.
Fairfax told them that if they refused to
60 peaceably he should be compelled to
use force. They still refused, when the
marines stepping forward and taking them
by the shoulder, they made no further op
position.
Messrs. Eustis and M'Farland, the Sec
retaries of the rebel Envoys, were alst
arrested. Slidell and Eustis had THEN
families on board the Trent, and the pros
pect of separation occasioned an affecting
scene. Com Wilkes subsequently offered
to allow their families to accompany them
but the ladies refused, preterring tht
voyage to England and protracted sepa
ration from their husbands rather thar
the risk of an Imprisonment in the North
! The baggage of the prisoners was trans
fcrrcd to the San Jacinto, and 1t Is 'saio
that it contains important documents
among them their instructions from The
jeff Davis government.
No opposition was offered by the officers
of the Trent to the arrest, other than
verbal protest, though one man who hat
charge of the mails on board indulged IL
! some gasconade about the "outragc com
mitted, and was loud in his assertions tha
the blockade would be raised within {
month after the news reached England
After their transfer to the San Jacinto

Oh living were a bitter thing,
riddle without reasons,
If each sat lonely, gathering
Within his own hearts narrow ring,
The hopes and fears encumbering
The fight of earthly seasons.
Thank God that in life's little day,
Between our dawn and setting,
We have kind deeds to give away,
Sad hearts for which our own may pray.
And strength, when we are wrong'd, to say
Forgiving and forgetting
Thank God for other feet that be
By ours in life wayfaring;
For blessed christian charity,
Believing good she cannot see,
Suffering her friend infrmity-
Enduring and forbearingi
We are all travellers, who throng
A thorny road together;
And, if some pilgrim not so strong
As I, but sore-foot, does me wrong
III make excuse the road is long,
And stormy is the weather.
What comfort will it yield the day
Whose light shall find US dying,
To know that once we had our way
Against child of weaker clay,
And bought our triumph in the fray
With purchase of his signing
Most like our Lord are they who bear,
Like him, long with the shining;
The music of long-suffering prayer
Bring angels down Gods golden stair,
Like those through Olives darkened air
Who saw our life beginning.

GEMS FROM VANITY FAIR-A Cen
eral of Division The Charleston Mercury
of 10th November says that General
Drayton retired in two steamers by Pipes
Ferry" on his retreat from Port Royal.
This extraordinary distribution of the reb-
ell General can only be accounted for by
the supposition that he was very much
cut up about the loss of his Gorts.
Reaction: The Norfolk Day Book,
and other Southern Journals, state that
the guns in the Confederate batteries at
Port Royal were dismounted by their own
recoil This is aminous, indeed 1t
