"HIGHLv REspEcrABLR."-Dr. Hunt. Of
the Buffalo Express, who has charge Of one Of
thu hospitals ut Fortress Monroe. says in re.
cent letter:
i have the very best authority for stating
that "highly respectable" families in Norfolk
lived upon the prostitution Of their female
slaves. The not fair bu. frail mulattos and
quadroons Of Norfolk have been colonixed BY
themselves and put under strict guard. This
step has stopped the regular income Of tho
aristocraiic families in Norfolk. and the ladies
are begging for the release Of their female SER
wants. They had better starve than live thus
upon the wages Of infamy.

WHEREAS, The feelings of the loyal people
OF Ohio have been outraged by the appearance
in the streets of their capital of rebel officers
in rebel uniforms, released on parole, and by the
fact that rebel prisoners in Camp Chase prison
have been permitted to retain and use their
former slaves as servants, thus practically nulli
fging our State Constitution and legalizing
slavery in Ohio; therefore,
ResolUed By dhe General assembly Of the State
of Ohio, That in the name of the people of
Ohio, who have freely given their treasure and
their blood to sustain the Government and the
Union, we do most solemnly protest against this
mistaken clemencY to the guilty, and this out
rage upon the feelings of the loyal people Of
Ohio. it

to Texas In 1885 with go-a-head Col. Crockett,
fought the Mexioans and afterward the lndi-

the town of Mier. The Texans were in turn
threatened with q vast superior force under
Ampudia; and in order to secure their retreat,
Fisher, the Colonel in command, sent McCul-
loch With detachment to gather horses and
mules from the surrounding country and bring
them into the town. McCulloch got the horses,
but pesuaded the men under his command to
desert and leave their companions to their fate,
which was decimation by the Mexlcans and
long imprisonment and suffering for the sur

one Of them received dangerous wounds.
The second aoor, od which was situated the
