THE SITUATION At ISLAND no. 10.
DISPATCH FROM com. FOOFR,

Steadily Advancing Upon the
Island.
The Portland daily press., 1862-08-04
Interesting from Hayti.

We have, through Mr.. Loring, late United
States Consul at Aux Cages, 1.-THE arrival of
whom we announced in our paper of Satur-
day., some very interesting news from Hayti
On the LIST of May last, revolution broke out
in the city of Aux Cages, to overthrow the
government of Gefirard. For long time r,i-
mors were circulating in the city of Aux
Cages and elsewhere that the government was
weak, and that the President was incapable of
governing.
In Gonaives, last year, some 20 or 30 indi-
viduals took up arms against the government.
But Gefrard was not man TO soil the glori-
Gus revolution of 1858 with blood; he pardon
ed the conspirators; and at AUX Caves they
took it for granted that they would try it; if
they succeeded, so much the better, If not,
they would appeal to the clemency of the
chief magistrate But the designs of the con-
spirators were too horrible to meet with the
sympathy of any honest heart Plumber, mas
sacre, and crimes of the most fiendish charac-
ter, were their objects to attain their aim. and
Heaven could not sanction such deed. One
by one was arrested (makng some go to 70).
but eight of the principal leaders made their
escape to Jamaica; the others had their trial
before a martial court, which lasted whole
week. Every chance was allowed to the pris-
oners, some of them had lawyers from Port
au Prince
The court brought in the following verdict: 20
were condemned to death Including the eight
who made their ESCAPED, and only IA were
shot; 26 were condemned to three years of
imprisonment, and the rest acquitted. Among
those who have been shot, is Gen. Solomon,
black of education, and brother of the ex-
Minister of Finance under Soulouque Had
the President listened to the wishes of the
people at Aux Cages, he would have made
severe example with all of them The coun-
try, on the LIST of July, was enjoying perfect
tranquility, and business going on as usual !;
and if the Haytiens, one and all, knew what
was best for their own interest, they would of
fer prayers to Heaven, night and day, for the
preservation of man like Gefirard, who sac
riiices everything for the welfare of the peo-
pie.
The Portland daily press., 1862-08-04
A Dissatisfied Spirit.

Our friends of the Argus are as difficult, and
as hard TO be suited, as was ever class of per-
sons in ancient times, who, when man came
among them "neither eating nor drinking"
said, she hath devil" but when another came,
''both eating and drinking" exclaimed, ''behold
gluttonous man and wine-bibber"
OF course, they know the many thousands
Of 1contrabands," made free either by escap-
ing from, or being deserted by, their rebel mas
tiers, must have chance to live, for even the
Argus, it is presumed, would not inhumanly
abandon them to starvation. To meet this
practical exigency, something must be DONE
II it is proposed to let them come North, and
try their fortunes with other people for an
honest livelihood, either as servants, laborers,
or even as boot-blacks, the cry is raised about
NEGRO equality" interference with white la
borers," "Africanizing the North" and similar
cap tandem appeals to the prejudices of the
unthinking. But when it is proposed to pro-
vide for them outside of the country, by ar
rangement for colonization in the Danish West
India Islands, in Liberia, in Central America,
or anywhere else, under the fostering care of
the American Government, then the cry is
raised about abolition aristocracy," that
abolition never cared for the black man. and
the wealthy opponents of slavery are called
upon to open their houses and their hearts to
receive the poor plantation cattle" upon terms
of perfect social equality
But when this alleged abolition aristocracy"
attempts to do something TO ameIorate the
condition of the poor 'contraband" where he
now is, and especially in the District of Column
bia-the nearest free soil accessible to him
are our Argus friends any better satisfied?-
Let those who think this is what they demand,
and that their objections to free negro invasion
OF the North, or colonization abroad, are hon
est heart utterances, read that paper of the LIST
instant, misunderstanding for contrabands, .
and then judge. A high-minded gentleman
from that District had come here TO ap-
peal to the Argus abolition aristocracy"
for aid in behalf Of the "contrabands," to "giye
an account of their condition, wants and suf-
ferings," and to ask such aid as the kind
hearted and benevolent men of means might

Correspondence OF the Press.

MEssRs EDITORS Its not all war politics
and haying. Our literary institutions are just
now harvesting the crops of the years sowing
and cultivation; and here and there / have
looked in upon examinations and exhibitions
in the country round about.
On Tuesday of last week, the term at South
Berwick Academy, was closed with an exami-
nation in the morning, and all exhibition in the
afternoon.
Those of your readers who may have made
the acquaintance of Mr.. A. c. Stockin, in his
connection with the Monmouth Academy, or
with the Legislature, winter before last, will
not wonder that his scholarly and genial char
acter, and gentlemanly bearing, have been APP
preciated during the year which he has just
closed at South Berwick; and that his success
is duly recognized by pupils and people.
The examination, conducted in presence of
large number of literary and professional
gentlemen, was very thorough and satisfacto-
ry. The exercises by the young ladies and
gentlemen in the afternoon, were pleasantly
varied in their character, ranging from grave
to gay" and full of patriotic and manly senti-
ment. / wish there were time to particularize.
Let Inc say only that one of the parts, pre-
pared for our young friends by MRS. Parting
ton" proved the old lady to be true patriot
1t represented the States loyal and aotherwise.n
in the persons of as many young ladies who
conducted a colloquy upon the times in run
ming verse, at once serious and interesting
The building and its surroundings are very
tasteful, and the whole appearance of the In
stitution attractive.
Later in the week, a day at Lewiston, en-
abled us TO witness the closing exercises of the
Maine State Seminary. OF the examination
and other exercises for Thursday, can only
echo the praise of others. The performances of
Thursday, were in college form-with music,
procession, governor and diplomas. The
speaking Of the young men, was creditabe as
whole. So also was the reading of the young
ladies-seven of them graduating at this an
niversary, and receiving diplomas in testimony
of their proficiency in the "arts and sciences"
MIR. Cheney made very pleasant and APP
propriate address, to the young ladies and gen.
tlemen, closing their connection with the In
stitution.
On the following day, the Seminary at Cor
ham, closed its year with a simple examina-
ton, without any parade or exhibition.
The examination was very satisfactory to
those present, showing great pains taking on
the part of the teachers to impart to the young
persons in attendance, thorough knowledge
of the branches pursued. Along with Latin,
Greek and Spanish, with the higher English
branches, it was very pleasant to notice the
attention given to spelling and others of the
less important studies sometimes so esteemed.
Mr.. Webb the Principle, is a teacher of expe-
rience and man of energy; and his associates
are devoted to their work. L. W.

Death of Cupt. M. r.. Fessenden.

A letter from one of the officers of the 18th
regiment, dated at New Orleans, July 25th,
says:
"The late Capt. NJ. X. Fessenden, of your
city, died last evening, about II o'clock, of
congestion of the brain. Il think it sun
stroke.) He had been a little out of health for
day or two; but was out last evening, and
came in about O'Clock, saying, as he passed
in, in reply to an inquiry, that 'his lead felt as
if it was burning up" At $50 he was insens-
bic; and though everything was done that
could be done, he remained insensbIe till his
death. Mr.. Robinson, a brother of Richard +.
Robinson, of your city, died on the 22d of Jul
ly, of brain fever.
