George Washington, the Father OF hi,

the mldst of slave country, has left or
record, as among the FIRST and most earnes,
wishes OF his heart, that plan might be
adopted for the abolition Of slavery. In
letter TO John F. Mercer. also . VI

10 see some plan adopted by which slavery in M

ssThe Barbarian Of sIaveryv


Was the title of speech once deliver
ed in the United States Senate by one of
the finest scholars and most finished ora
tors of the country. After the speech
had been delivered. its main position was
verified on the spot, for Representative
STAKEHOLDER maddened to fury entered the
Senate Chamber. assaulted the Senator in
his seat and laid him low with bludgeon.
But it was left for this civil war to flash
in the lurid light of confagration and
massacre the nameless barbarisms of a
slsveholding country.
Perjury, robbery, assassination and
massacre, killing unresisting and wound
ed prisoners in cold blood, shooting tile
scalded and drowning victims of horri-
bic steamboat explosion, while their fran
tic cries OF pain were ringing on the air,
carving the bones Of our exhumed dead
into pipes and drinking cups, and orna-
men.s and keepsakes for their women, are
amongst the evidence which this war
furnishes in support of that speech.
But recent act of horror, exceeding.
| If possible, in tho enormity of its cir
cumstanccs, the infamous massacre Of
Glencoe, rs described in late official dis
patch of Lieut.. Truxton, to flag officer
Dupont.
The negro slaves were residing on
Hutchinson Island, cultiyating planta-
tions which their masters had deserted.
and assembling at night ina little village
of negro quarters. They were some
twelve miles from the nearest station of our
troops. and had not been in especial COM
munication, nor under charge of our
officers. On June 18th, some three hun
dred rebels surrounded them and fired a
volley into their sleeping quarters. Many
were killed or wounded by the discharges,
and many more we're shot or knocked
down, as they rushed in frantic terror
from the quarters. which were immedi-
ately after eRveloped in flalues.
The act seems to have been simply
prompted by iendish, hellish cruelty and
blood hirstiness, for except few negro
clothes and chickens, there was nothing
valuable to plumber, and they did not
carry OF the slaves.
Hero is specimen paragraph of the
gallant exploits of these chiyalrons gen.
try. Lieut.. Truxton says:
Having succeeded in removing or in
providing with boats all who wished to
remain to collect their little property. I
returned to the ship, bringing with me
about seventy, among them one man lit
orally riddled with balls and bucksbot
(since dead; another shot through the
lungs, and struck over the forehead with
. dubbed muakct, which laid the bone
perfectly bare; one woman shot in the leg,
shoulder and thigh; one far gone in pres-
nancy, suffering from a dislocation Of the
hip joint and injury to the womb, caused
by leaping FROM second-story window !;
and another suffering from the displaee-
mcnt OF the cap 81 Ii. knee anu injury to
the leg from the same cause.
What howl We shall hear from the
symPathisers over this bill Of expense,
incurred to remove these poor creatures
beyond the reach of our Southern breth.
