was too tired to stand. He then called for a
chair, sat down, and finished his brutal beat
ing in sitting posture. The screams of the
sufferer attracted the attention of the neigh
borhood. One neighbor sent intelligence of
what was transporting to Gen. Butler
Before word reached the general, the mon
ster had fiayed the back of his slave until it
became raw, washed her down with brine,
thrown her into a wagon, and at o'clock at
night conveyed here to the parish prison, with
the pleasing Information that the rest of the
beating-to the extent of three hundred lash
es-would be infictedin the morning. The
general ordered all parties in the morning.
They came, and the girl was liberated Upon
the hearing these facts appeared. The gem
eral asked the master to state upon his honor
why he washed the girls back in brine, while
reeking with blood. He replied, SIT was to
ease the pain" Thereupon, the general in
formed Mr.. Hunter that he would be commit
ted to fort jackson until further orders. and
that he must behave himself very well there.
because the officers in charge would be in
structed to chastlse him severely if he did not
because If they exceeded in the severity of
punishment, they would be instructed to wash
has wounds in brine; and that the girl would
be turned over as a laundreSs to the care of
the 18th Connecticut regiment. Mr.. Hunter.
upon this, said he had brought in a physician
to prove that he had been sick for a number
of months. The general responded, that if he
was well enough to infiet the punishment that
had been proved, he was in a physical condi-
ton to suffer the punishment which had been
imposed. Hunter is Il rebel, thief for he
had stolen the tents), a liar (for he had eluded
the officer who had been sent in search), a
brute (for he had whipped the girl without
cause). And we leave him in fort jackson.
