YANCEY's SPEECH AT NEW ORLEANS.-W
L. Yancey, instead Of being in the ealaboOse
at Kew West, seems positively to be in New
Orleans, for the following synopsis of a
speech delivered by him there, on the l4th
ult, appears in the Huntsville Gala AdUo-
cate OF the 18th;
.'Mr. Yancey is decidedly Of the opinion that
the South has no friends in Europe, and that the
North is in a similar condition lie says there is
a very strong prejudice in all Europe against the
South, in consequence Of an erroneous impression
which prevails in reference to the Il stitutiOn Of
Slavery There are many people in Europe who
consider the Southern people semi-civilized, and
believe that negroes raised upon the plan that
stock is. There is no disposition to interfere in
American affairs.
Ihe block ade enables the British holders Of the
great staple (cotton) to realize an immense ad-
vance upon its cost in consequence Of the scarcity
of the article. The holders are the wealthy few,
who have the of the Government. Another
reason for not interfering with the blockade, was
the belief that the scarcity Of the article and the
remote prospect of obtaining supply from this
country would create such demand for the East
India cotton to increase its culture 10 a very
considerable extent.
Another reason, in Mr.. Yaneey opinion, why
European Powers will not interfere in Ameri,an
affairs, is the hope aad belief that permanent
dissolution Of the United States will weaken a na-
ton Of whose prosperity and greatness they have
become ealous. They hope to sec the war pro
tracted until both divisions involved in ruinous
debt, to hang over them like an incubus for
years to come.
He inclines to the opinion that England and
France would sooner interfere to prevent a recon-
struction Of the Union than for any ether purpose.
And be believes that unless their starving opera
tives engaged in the manufacture Of cotton fab
rics, compel them to interfere, they will stand
aIoof until they the South is about to conquer
its independence, or fail in the attempt.

DEMOCRATS N The ARNY.-We have no
doubt that in regard to the Generals and
Colonels named by the Sentinel the fact is as
stated. As an Offset we can only say that
upon little Investigation we find that all
the regiments Vermont now has in the field
and as many more could have been oficered
entirely from Democratic applicants and yet
there would have been large margin for
selection. Of the balance left unappointed
it does not appear of record that any have
volunteered to serve their country in an un-
official military capacity.
The Sentinel could 90 little further. 1t
might claim without fearof contradiction that
almost every General, subordinate officer and
private in the rebel armies from the South

add that every officer from the Northern
States in the same army is also a Democrat.

USEFULNESS OF CHARCOAL IN
AGRICULTURE

In reply to several inquiries, we say that
charcoal Is useful. Whether it acts directly
and specifically as manure, to any percept-
ible, may perhaps be questioned. Whether it
decomposrs at all may well be doubted. but
it acts as an absorbant of grasses and liquids.
and contributes indirectly to the fertility of
the soil. Even sparingly used. it increases

SOUTHERN BARBARISM.

In the 5 nate April l, resolution was
adopted nstructins the Committee on the
conduct Of the war to collect evidence in re-
gard to the barharous treatment by the re-
bels at Manassas OF our killed in battle there.
Also whether the rebels enlisted Indians who
committed unheard of atrocities, and how
this savage warfare was conducted. There
seems to be no ground for doubt that IN many
instances a ferocity, savoring much more Of
savage than Of civilized life, has been shown
by many southern soldiers in the treatment
Of the iiieless remains Of Union soldiers and
officers, their jaw bones having been made
use Of for spurs, their skulls for drinking
vessels, &c Ben Perley Poore gives the fol-
lowing account.
We lave sad and heart -sickening news from
Manassas. Mr. II. A. Smart, Of Cambridge, went
there on the pious task Of searching for the
remains Of his brother, William II. Smart, who
vas a member Of The Boston Independent Fusi-
leers, Co. C., First Massachusetts, and was killed
while fighting ia the ranks. Mr.. Smart had with
him one Of his brothers comrades who survived
the Il -ht, Corporal Hiltreth, ami was taken by
him 70 the spot where tie Fgsileers fought and
fell-where IL was known that they had been in
TERED.
Alas for the chivalrous reputation Of our rebel
foes 1t was too plainly evident that the graves
had been violstei-that the bones had been dug
or prioi with sticks from beneath their thin COW
erng Of earth, and that nothing remained Of these
brave sons OF Massachusetts, but few Of the
smaller bones and some locks Of hair. some Of
the hair was recognized by Messrs. Smart and
liildreth especially some light curls, which were
uumistakably those Of Mr.. Fields Of the Fusi-
ieers.
Passing 10 where the Chelsea corps fought, they
found that il was doubtful whether the bodies
there had been buriei, although some loose earth
had originally been thrown over them. They
bad also been carried OF in fragments, and moth
ing remained but d few fragments Of decayed flesh
ari clothing cut fr the withdrawal Of the limbs
A lady who resides near by informed the seek
ors after the dead, that members Of a Georgia and
of a Louisiana regiment had, up to as late date
as November, obtained bones from these and other
graves. skulls had been set up on poles, with

Under date of March 2Sth, CARLETON
writes from near Island No. 10, to the BOs-
ton Journal as follows:
In my letter of the 25th informed yo1 tba,
the rebels were building several iron-clad gun
boats at New Orleans Information has been re-
ceived that one Of them is a. invulnerable as the
Merrimac. The information communicated
TO the President by telegraph tonight. If this be
80 our hotilla would stand but little chance of
resisting an attack. Very powerful engines, it is
said, have been put into this craft. and the gun
boats, with the exception Of the Benton, would
otter the resistlnce Of wet paper to such vessel.

10 regard to such craft, but shall not. There is

This is no sensation paragraph, but startling
fact Before we are aware Of it we may have
sensation Of larger proportions than that Of Hamp-
ton Roads. II is no time to play the ostrich-to
hide our heads while the body is exposed
Secession is mOnstrous. It is Of large growth
a disease deep seated, long riPening, and by the
laws Of nature, it Will die hard
death. Let us not deceive ourselves. Let US not
the enemy. The end Of secession may
be near; but for one / doubt it. There is abnnd-
ant evidence that the late reverses Of tho south

BoILER EXPLOSION AT BALrMoRE.-A most
remarkable steam boiler explosion occurred at
the Baltimore House Of Refuge. 4 boiler in
the boiler house attached to the bake house,
30 feet from the main building, was blown
up fully 200 feet in the air, then taking an
easteriy direction, expl- ded again in the air,
after which it passed 10 straight line go
feet to the north, and fell directly on the
roof of a school building, carrying with it
slate roof, r,lters, beams and plaster, crush
M into toe schOol-room where there were
nearly seventy boys. Most wonderful as 1t
may appear, although the entire foJr OF the
room was covered with ruins, only two
children were killed, two brothers named
Myers, and seyen wounded. Tie rest, with
the teacher, escaped entirely unframed. All
agree that there were two explosions, one in
the air, which changed the direction of the
boiler.
