GORDON, TIE SLAYER CAPTAIN The friends

be hung on the 7th of February next, are
making Efforts to procure a Communication of

President to change his punish ment from death

not be successful. There is no doubt about
the guilt Of the msn. He was caught on the
African coast by United State. cruiser. His

captured in her.. eight hundred slaves. He

Of this man. If be is hung a most effective
blow will be struck at the slave trade, and the
infamous wretches who have 90 long and so
brsEenly disgrsced our port by this traffic.
will receive fright which will drive them of
TO safer regions. But il through mistaken
feelings of humanity, the President should
reprieve this case, or change Gordon's pun
ishment to imprisonment, be will inspire the
slavers with new hope and courage, and helm
70 defeat The ends Of justice. Imprisonment
for life will give him hopes of escape. His
companions in crime will leave no stone nm
turned to help him, and those who know the
INSCRIPTIONS mesns used to secure the escape
OF slaye-traders from our prisons in other
times will feel at once that Gordon's hones
would be fixed ~ Y Post.

The AssAssINs AT BIRDS PoINT.-To-

the order issued this morning by Gen. Grant in
reference to the people living near Bird 8
Point For some time these midnight assas-
sins have murdered the sentinels stationed in
the vicinity Of their houses, robbing them gen
orally of blankets and money. To-day the
house Of suspected character was visited,
when he stoutly affirmed himself Union man
and unaTmed. A search discovered two loaded
rifles and the blanket of one Of the four men
shot night before last. He was taken prisoner,
and will be hung probably.
Under the late order every family living
within circle OF six miles will be brought into
camp and kept there on pain Of death if attemp.
ting to escape. Enough of their property will
be taken to keep them. Often the murdered
pickets have not been found until morning

ABOUT KNAPsAcKs Within the last month
200, 600 knspsscks have been delivered to the
Government in addition to previous purchases
Of about 700 900 during the past eight months.
knapsacks have been given to parties in this
city, the remainder being distributed between
PHILADELPHIA, Wilmington, Del, and Newark,
n j. The contract price has ranged from
81 80 to 50 80. averaging about 81, so that the
Total expenditure for this single article of mil
itary equipment has been nearly two millions
Of dollars. A more substantial article, after
the French and Prussian pattern, has been
purchased for some regiments, at cost of from
81 to 81 SO. Ten thousand Of them have been
imported, and FIVE thousand more manufac-
tured by Edward Gumbs, of No Murray
street, in connection with other contracts.
The manufacture of these knapsacks has
given employment to the trunkmakers of this
city at time when the sales in their regular
business were less than 20 per cent. Of ordinary
years. 1t is estimated that some IL, 900 opera
tives, male and female, have been kept at work
in this way directly, while the industry Of a
large number Of others has been incidentally
affected. Brass founders, stair-rod makers,
wire-drawers and others, workers in metal,
whose usual business is completely dead, have
turned their attention to the manufacture of
brass trimmings for knapsscks. while large
number of others have found employment in
furnishing the immense number of buckles and
straps required. The demand for canvas
thread, paint, &C., has also stimulated trade
in these articles and not less than ten or fifteen
thousand dollars have been expended fer the
single article Of wax, with which the thread
used in sewing is stiffened.
Before the present war, the Government
knapsacks were all made in Philadelphia, at
the regular price of 81 u each but competi-
ton has reduced the price to an average of
about 50, some contracts having been taken as
low as Sl.S9. The large number of knapsacks
called for shows that our soldiers are not as
careful Of them as they might be. good
knapsack ought to last two or three years and
even with such treatment as they ordinarily
receive, at least year. But many regiments
not six months in the field have had two sets
already, and some, after being supplied by the
State, have obtained requisitions on the Gov
ernment for a new lot, and thrown their old
ones away, while still valuable for use.-Nsay
