COMMUNICATIONS HIGHLY EXCITING TO
THE Coon PEOPLE OF MEMPHIs-Commu-
nications of the kind described by our caption
reach US daily. They conist, in great part, of
exposes Of the share taken by certain parties
in the rebellion in Memphis, and are gener-
ally full Of references to the columns of the
old Avalanche, appeal and Argus. They often
come from men who have been prosecuted for
adherence to the Union, and many of, them
Nare undoubtedly veracious beyond question.
While however, we are among those who
draw broad line of distinction between the men
who forced Memphis into secession, and the
masses who were led or forced by them. We
have no desire to anticipate the action of the
authorities; and are content with limiting to
all men of varying faith and acts, that the re-
cords Of the past are ample full and clear, and
that modest, retiring behavior on their part
will be at once more safe and more becoming.
We have thus far permitted the use of these
mute, but irrefutable witnesses only in case.
where the interest of the city itself seemed al
stake, or the returning allegiance of the PEG
pie seemed likely to be accelerated thereby.

Address OF Arehhlahop Haghes-Its eject
M


The remarkable address written by Arch
bishop Hughes in behalf of the Catholic world,
and signed by three hundred cardinals
and bishops now congregated at Rome, has
made deep sensation all over Europe, and
more particularly in Italy, effected more than
any other country upon earth by the question
of the temporal powe. of the Pope. In this
address Archbishop Hughes asserts that the
temporal power of his holiness being granted
to him by peculiar desire of Divine Provi-
dence, ali the nations of the eartn combined
are powerless against it; that Rome and the
papal domain do not belong to Italy, but to
the Catholic world, and they can never cease
to be its property.
The arguments seem to have wounded to the
quick the patriotism of the Italians, for on the
18th of June last The parliament of Turin pre-
scented an address to Victor Emanuel stating
that, assembled for the parpose of making
the rights of their country respected, they
hoped his majesty would take the necessary
measures TO stop such pretensions as those an
nounced in the cardinals address, and revent
the Roman question to be any longer q cause
of trouble for conscience and of danger for
the peace of the world

Terrible Deed Of Cruelty.

One of the most revolving instances of cru.
city that we have ever been called upon to
chronicle, occurred in this city last night, in
tenement on the west side of the alley between
Market and Walnut and Third and Fourth
streets. The facts are these:
About month ago Angslan Galloway, an
Italian, removed with his wife from Cincin-
natl to this city, locating in the alley above
mentioned. They brought with them young
German woman who had for some time been
member of the family; and whose husband
is said to be in the army.
Shortly after reaching st. Louis Calonay's
wife appears to have become very Jealous of
the young womnn, and frequently spoke to
her husband on the subject The latter how
ever, paid no attention TO her remonstrances.
On Sunday evening he went out walking with
the young woman, and on his return the wife
was observed to be very much incensed
Bot the night passed without any act of vio-
lence, the terrible revenge being reserved for
last night.
At what hour the dreadful affair happened
we are unable to state, but after the German
woman had retired to rest, and when sou I'D
asleep, some hend approached her bedside
covered her from head to foot with camphene
an d then set her on fire. The woman and led
were instantly enveloped in flames
| The agonizing shrieks of the POOR creature
attracted the attention of the nearest neighbors
who rushed as quickly as possible to her relief
/ They found her as we have thus described, on,
complete mass of flames and fire. and almos
beyond the hope of rescue, screaming and
struggling, and suffering to most heartrend
ing extent.
With some exertion the flames were extin
guished, when 10. rible spectacle presented
itself. The womans hair was burned from
her head. Her shoulders, arms, back, ant
breast were shockingly lacerated. Her fac
was disfgured, and her entire body PAINFUL
burned. She was, of course unable to tell any
| thing in reference to the occurrence
Being asleep at the time, she knew not VIII
committed the infuman act. She was re
moved to the hospital, where, We understand
she now lies in most critical condition. Gale
nay and his wife were taken into custody an
locked up in the calaboose.-ISt. Louis Neaos.

PANAMA.

PANAMA, June 2s.-Sinee the sailing Of the
last steamer the excitement contingent on the
arrival of troops from Carihagena has almost
entirely died out, and the isthrlus Is apparent
ly as tranquil as if nothing Max happened.
Should the next steamer from Carthagena
bring new government agent there will of
course be another stampede.
By way of Ecuador news hiss been received
from Paste, the stronghold of Arboleda, to the
effect that he (Arboleda) had succeeded in
augmenting his forces to $4,000 men, and had
crossed the Cordilleras to the Atlantic side,
where he expected to defeat Mosquera, but be-
yond this one sided report there is nothing
from the interior.
A horrid murder was committed at Tobago
on the 18th. A Chilero met an old French
man in the street. of whom be was jealous, and
cut him open with a knife, causing almost in
slant death.
The weather continues delightful. Al
though now the middle of the wet season, very
little rain has fallen as yet, and the health of
the Isthmus is excellent
There is nothing from Central America
since the sailing of the last steamer
The steamer st. Thomas arrived at Aspin-
wall on the 22d instant, and the Champion
from New York on the 26th.
The governments of Ecuador and Peru have
agreed 70 leave the settlement of their diff
culties to Great Britain.
The British ship Zambesi sailed from Pana-
ma for Callao on the 26th instant.
The United St4.es ship Saranac and the
British ship Fermsgant still remain in the
Bay Of Panama.

Tharlosw Weed ina Favor OF ussng ths
Contrabands.
Editor Coaanerciaf Adpsrtissr:
want to strike while the iron is hot and
as your anvil il nearer than my own, will YOU
allow me the use of it, The public mind is
now taking the right direction, with regard to
contrabsnds. Our army needs the aid and
comfort which can be obtained from contra
bands, and in accepting it we deprive the en-
envy of an element of strength.
was with Gen. Butler at Annapolis wnen
he inaugurated policy in reference to escaped
slaves. felt then as do now, that he ahit
the nail on the head / went directly to
Washington, and urged the government to
instruct all the officers of the army to receive
and not to repel fugitives, proclsiming stimuli
taneously that the slaves of loyal owners
would be paid for, and those of traitors confs-
Gated and that all should be employed as I'M
armed auxiliaries in the army. At least two
thirds of the officers OF the army, from edu-
cation and habit, left to themselves, turned the
fugitives back, thus making their condition
worse than it was, ard disheartening others
who were eager to escape.
Had Gen. Buffers policy been adopted
year ago, at least half million of slaves who
have been at work in the rebel armies, would
have been relieving our owl. WORKOUT troops
from exhausting druggery-thus weakening
the enemy, and Strengthening ourselves in a
corresponding degree.
And this line of policy would have raised
no embarrassing issues. It was simple, snd
so just both to loyal men and traitors, that all
would have acquiesced. While it protected
loyal citizens, it gave US the advantage we are
entitled to, in war, over our enemy.
But for reasons which they deemed efficient,
the question of "contrabands" have been left
n drift alop.r until mn hlio dapna1da
policy. In that demand l perceive the
dawning of brighter day. Proclaim, at
once, compensation to loyal men, in the order
which directs commanding officers to receive
and employ contrsbands,' and the war shall
assume new and more encouraging aspects.
Without the services of slaves, in relieving
their troops from manual ana mental labor,
the rebellion would collapse in month.
Respectfully yours, T. W.

EMBELLIsHING To THE DETRIME'T OF
TAsTE.-Largs type spoils small paper, and
once permitted in its columns is sought to an
inconvenient degree by advertisers who seem
to forget that, not the largest signs are the
most effective, but those best displayed. No
cuts can be permitted in our columns, as we
have no desire to run in opposition to Frank
Leslie and the Harpers. When We intend
publishing a pictorial paper, due notice viii
be given by the issuance of prospectus, that

and the Mercury TO use his winged feet. Just
now we publish an unillustrated daily News

The New York Stase Militia enrolled
Quarter OF q Million OF Ken.

One of the most rapid and complete enrol
ments of the militia of this State which was
ever made has just been completed by the
military authorities. In the interior the can
vass occupied four weeks; in this city but ten
days. The work was entrusted to skillful
agents, consisting in many cases of those pre-
viously accustomed to similar duty, and it was
completed before the public generally was
aware that it was in progress. Two hundred
men were employed. The result was entirely
successful, the name and residences of nearly
three hundred Heusasd men believed to be
subject to military duty, have been obtained
and of these quarter of million are un-
dcubtedly competent to bear arms, and may
be officially called on at any time. We may
state incidentally that the enrolment was not
very popular in some of our city tenement
houses, and that the agents became enrolling
officers in double sense-they were tumbling
down stairs.-N. T. Post

FROM THE PENINSULA.
Ala Is Quiet.

Special Correspondence sf the Inquirer
HAKRIsoN's LANDING, Va, July 8, 1852.
The quiet of the past few days, and especi-
ally that on the part of the rebels, is here the
subject of general remark, while the conjec
lures as to the cause of this inertness are many
and varied.
With the exception of some little cannonad-
ing land big scare in the transportation de-
psrtment) heard yesterday morning down the
river, not the discharge of single solitary
musket has disturbed the quiet
Position of the Rebel Army.
A balloon observation yesterday morning
disclosed the fact that the rebels are encamped
to the southwest of us, and some twelve miles
distant from this point; their main line being
from fRe to six miles from that OF ours.
The ground occupied by them is gentle,
undulating hill and dale, densely covered by
woods, their line reaching all the way from
/ Richmond to Malvern Hill, the battle ground
/ of Tuesday last.
From information derived from contrabands
/ and deserters, it is known that the enemy are
being rapidly and largely reinforced, and the
sole cause of their present unusual quiet, in all
probability, arises from the fact that Their
| leaders are too busy in CO 1cocting some plan
and devising some means to prolong this un'
holy rebellion, to give much attention to tbs
Inauguration of battles.

The Los Angeles Nelcs publishes the follow
ing extract from private letter dated Tucson,
May 25th:
BY the 3lst of this month the stars and
stripes will wave over Forts Stanford, former
ly Fort Breckinridge,) Tucson and Buchanan;
then off We go for the Rio Grande.
Lieut.. Col. West took possession of Tucson
on the goth instant without firing a shot, The
Confederate troops stationed iG that city fed
across the Rio Grande on our approach, and
the citizens of Tucson who were imbued with
secession proclivities made tracks for Sonora
The citizens of the town came out and met the
troops In great numbers, greeting them with
cheers, and of their own accord sent out wag-
Gus and brought in loads of forage for our ami
mails, which were worn out by their march
from the Pimos around by Fort Stanford.
Capt. Hunter, who was in command of the
rebois while they were at Tucson, had fight
with the Apaches at Dragon Springs, and
was whipped. He lost four men and forty
horses, thirty-fve mules and his wagons, and
proceeded on his way rejoicing" towards the
Rio Grande with portion of his command on
| foot.

THE Ministers of the three leading powers,
namely, England, France ard Russia, are now
absent from their posts at Washington. Lord
Lyons is in England, II. MERCER is in New

The fact that the Ministers are thus of enjoy
ing congo does not look as though they anti
cipated any very severe work in the diplo-
matte line at present.
