him high aloft alongside of Andrew Jackson
IN the estimation of a grateful people. But
no paltry excuses can save him now from the
condemnation of his contemporaries and of
posterity. With selfish degradation of
weakness unparalleled in the history of
modern nations, he temporized, equivocated,
shut his eyes, and blinked the question of his
duty, in order to throw all the burdens OF
this war upon the administration elected to
succeed him. We presume that Gen. Scott
will give him another broadside, although no
answer to this lame and impotent defence OF
Mr.. Buchanan is needed we think.
The Philadelphia Press is even more severe
on ''the venerable sage Of Wheatand." In
closing its review of his defence, it says:
We now dismiss james Buchanan. He
announces the intention Of publishing very
soon "a historical review, prepared year
ago" He had better burn his sheets and say
no more. His last defence has only dragged
him deeper in the slough of shame. Let him
beg for mercy at the hands of an outraged
country, and from the men to come after
him, that they may not curse his memory as
men now curse the memory of those rulers
who came at distant periods in the worlds
history, to punish, and Cypress, and betray
mankind

Ex-Presiaent Buchanan.

The defence of Mr.. Buchanan seems to have
done him very little good in the North. The
Herald, in reviewing the points made in 1t,
says:
This defence will only operate to confirm
the universal public opinion of both hemls-
pheres to the prejudice of our unfortunate ex-
President. From point to point we may de-
molish the specifications and shallow reasons
and arguments of Mr.. Buchanan for his de-
'plorable course in permitting contemplate
Southern conspiracy in the outset to rlpen1
into an organized, systematic, extensive and
formidable rebellion. But the evidence is SO
broad, stroAg and clear against him, that ar
gnment is unnecessary. The simple truth 49,
that from the personal notifications and pre-
JUDGES of Mr.. Buchanan, resulting from the
election of 1860, and from his pitiablee I'M
becllity, credulity and trembling obedience
to the leading Southern traitors in Congress
and in his Cabinet he was bound hand ana
foot, and was thus, poor old unfortunate man.

Statement of Returned Prisoner
The Battle of Secessionville

A gentleman who has been confined at Hill
ton Head, in Castle William, New York Har-
Dor, and Fort Delaware, has furnished the
Charleston Courier with some interesting
facts gathered during his incarceration:
At the time of the battle of Secessionville,
he was at Hilton Head, and he states that the
reverses sustained in that engagement were
mu'h greater than we had supposed them
The Abolitionists reported that '.the island
was bristling with guns, and at every move
new batteries opened upon them" They evil
IDENTIFY labored under panic from the extent
of their losses. The Medical Director at Hill
ton Head reported the number of KILLED,
wounded and missing" at thirteen hundred
and sixty-nine. 1t appears that the battle
was precipitated by the information from the
negro Small, of the Planter, who had unin-
tentionally misled them by informing them
that the batteries on James Island were
mostly dismanted, and the greater portion OF
our troops sent to Virginia. In consequences
of their disasters in this battle, so great was
the feeling against Small at his supposed
treachery, that he narrowly escaped hanging
at the North.
He makes the interesting statement that
the negroes now in their possession, or EN-.
ployment-with small exception-would
willingly return to their owners, but they are
closely watched, and many have been shot in
their attempts to escape. In order to seek
their protection, who otherwise would have
preferred living at their ease in the woods,
and obtaining their supplies from the desert
ed plantations, they caused all these means
of subsistence to be removed to Hilton Head;
so that the poor devils had no alternative
save between starvation and Yankee protec-
ton and determination.
On one occasion, when sentinel had threat
ened a negro with the bayonet for some slight
fault, Gen. Hunter had him put in solitary
confinement, for having, as he said, insulted
a loyal citizen of South Carolina.
