Slave-Trader Hung.


the Government, the African slave-trade
has been declared piracy by the laws of
the U.s., to be followed by death, on
conviction. But, while this has been the
law, and tuo-thirds Of all the internal
traffic has been carried on by pirates
under our flag, the FIRST villain who ever
met the just punishment for the crime,
was captain Gordon, who was hung in New
York on Friday oflast week. Of all
the hundreds heretofore engaged in the
diabolical business, none have ever be-
fore been executed. The law. had be-
come a by-word among other nations,
and the business of our Government, so
long ruled by the JEFF. Davis school of
politicians, seemed to be to foster the
domestic and protect the foreign slave
trade.
There was an utter inconsistency be-
tween the penalties Of this law, making
the shipment of slaves from Africa pi-
raey, to be punished by hanging, while
fostering and protecting the more re-
voting and infamous trade from Vir-
ginia and other slave raising States
And hence, while domestic slave traders
ruled the country, foreign traders had
nothing to fear SO long as they did not
fall into the hands of the English or
French fleets employed for its s1ppres-
sion. And as these piratical monsters
always sailed under our flag, and were
tacitly protected by our ro-slavery Ad-
ministrations, few were captured, and the
trade fourished.
But, since the Government has passed
out of the hands of the Southern eligar-
chy, the aspect of things has changed
This man Gordon had shipped four car
goes of slaves, stolen from Africa. He
was captured at last, shortly after leav-
ing the coast, with nearly thousand on
board. The description of the scene on
board the ship is too horrible to repeat.
Think Of a thousand men and women,
packed, perfectly naked, between decks,
in space about two feet high, to bs
shipped across the ocean into eternal
bondage, many of them dying daily from
the filth and intolerable stencil of the
hole in which they were confined.
This villain, in his short career, prob
ably kidnapped over three thousand hu-
man beings, of which one-thousand were
murdered by the tortures of the "niddle
passage" and the rest consigned &c
slavery, worse than murder. And yet
there was probably never greater effor
made to save guilty wretch from hi:
righteous doom, than in this case
Thank God, those efforts all failed, ant
Gordon was hung, the first who ever suf
fsred the penalty Of the law in th'
United States. We believe the e1ecu
ton of this slave-trader will do more tt
suppress the traffic than all the feet
kept on the coast of Africa for that pur
pose, by all nations.
E, Bat was Gordon any worse than thos
who follow the same trade from Vir
piniaf

When the rebels left Nashvil

When the rebels left Nashville
on the approach of our troops, they not
only robbed the banks, but undertook
to impress the citizens into their army
by force. This was resisted, and per-
feet reign of terror spread throughout
the city. A number of the rebels were
killed by the citizens, and our troops ar
rived just in time to prevent the burn
ing of the city and the slaughter of the
people.
