Ridiculous.-The Washington Special te
the Cincinnati Gazette mentioned the arrva
OF Gen, Mcclellan in Washington, for the
purpose of giving his testimony in the Nc
Dowell case and disposed of the General
with a snAp-thus
Z mo special attention is paid TO him. y
The writer Of the line we have ouoted
above is generally reliable, but when he nm.
dertakes to say any thing about Mcclellan he
is as unreliable as the most triAine contra.
band that finds his way into the lines of our
army.
What private griefs" the Special afore.
said, or his employers, may have at General
Mcclellan, the public will probably never
know; and it does not concern the public
albeit the Gazette insists in excepting them
before the people" 1t is in bad taste how.
ever, and is, besides, ridiculous aud contempt.

We cannot conceive how petty malevoence

cessary for the editor to glance at the Wash.

that the statement Of his Special Is false

FREE NERoIsx.-We have received from
the pblishers, Messers, Van Fvrie, Horton
Il Co, New York, a pamphlet headed
Free Negroism, or the Failure Of eman.
cipation,'' which curtains some startling,
though unquestionable we'll founded state
ments. The object of the pamphlet is to
demonstrate the ruin which would inevi-
tably result not only to the whites. but
the blacks themselves, of this country,
should the crazy abolition schemes of i'm
mediate emancipation prevail. its deduc-
tons are drawn from the results in Hayti,
jamaica, and other countries where the
negro has been greed witein the last
century. In the item of groceries alone
the writer shows that the North is now
paying Forty Millions of dollars annually
more for then, than she ought to, because
their high price is occasioned by the idle
euess of the negro. Also, that every negro
at work in the tropics creates q demand
for white labor. the gain Of the farmer.
&c. To set free 1900 900 more, he argues,
would ruin the country. All who wish
this work can get it by enclosing the small
sum of Ten Cents, or 81 will get a dozen
copies by mail, postage paid Address Van.

The Island of 81. Croix--A Depot for Re.
captured Africans.

Col. Rasloff, Charge 'Afiaires of Den
mark. has addressed letter to the Sec
rotary Of State upon the subject of the
advantages offered by the Island of ST
Croix for the employment of persons OF
this country of African extraction, and
| negroes found on board vessels captured
by our cruisers. The island, he says, has
been checked in progress for want of
| manual labor, and he invites the United
States TO enter into Il Convention whereby
the contemplated migration may be placed
under the protection and guarantee of TIE
two governments.
The Governor of the Danish West In
| dies has also appointed special agent,
who has arrived in this country, to make
the necessary arrangements. Free trans
por,ation is offered to all who will engage
! 10 work on the sugar plantations for three
years, at the same compensation as given
TO the native population. Recaptured AZ
| ricans, however, being semi savages, must
! undergo apprenticeship
Secretary Seward, replying, says that he
is no. authorized TO accept the proposition
at this time for a Convention, is the dis
position of recaptured Africans is now
prescribed by law. 1t is proba ble, how
e.er that Congress may be disposed SO to
modify the existing legislation on the sub
ject as to meet the wishes of the Danish
Government lie has submitted copies OF
the correspondence to the Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee in each House
of Congress.
Col Rasloff, in response, says the plan
he had furnished would be entirely salts
factory from a Christian and humane
point of view, and would moreover relieve
the United States from great moral re-
sponsibility, and from the very large ex.
pense which, if he was correctly informed
is connected Africans to the Republic of
Liberia.

OsrrUARr-We copy, with feelings of
profound grief, the following obituary
notice from the Calaveras (Cal) Chronicle
OF the 18th nit Mr.. SnULER, the subject
Of this notice, served his apprenticeship to
! the printing business in this office, and
worked for US year or two after attaining
his freedom As youth, he was remark
ably studous, SO that, when of age, with
few advantages beyond those offered in 4
printing Office, he had acquired a good
education, with which as his only capital
coupled with energy and perseverance OF
! character, he emigrated in the spring OF
! 1919 to California How he succeeded there
the following notice bears honorable testi-
mony:
| DEATA OF GEoPGE l.. SHULER-lt becomes
| our painful duty to record the death OF
George l.. Shuler. formerly editor of the
| Chronicle, who died at San Andreas, at
| the residence of his friend and early COM
evening, May 18th.
Mr. Shuler was born in Middletown,
Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, in the year
the time of his death. In 1884 his father
removed 10 Ottawa Illinois. George emf
grated to California in lS49, making the
Journey across the plains. He remained
in Sacramento city until 80, when he came
! to San Antoine, Calaveras county, where
he worked at mining with Mr.. Thorn. In
81, he came over to Mok elumne Hill and
too a situation in the Chronicle office, then
under the control Of Mr Hamilton. In
the Spring of 81 he purchased the paper,
and was its editor 70: about year. In the
Fall of 80 he was elected member of the
legislature serving one term in the lower
house Since then he has been in the
Custom House, in San Francisco, and
Deputy Sheriff of this county
For over year past Mr.. Shuler las
been afflicted with q bad cough, which
finally settled on his lungs, ending in that
flattering but fatal disease, consumption.
