AN IMPORTANT TREATY

The Senate yesterday, we UNDERSTAND
gave its unanimous consent to Tra"a
recently negotiated by the Secretarv
State, Mr.. Seward, on the part of
Government, and Lord Lyons, Minister VI
England, on behalf of his Governmsn,
which, if we are correctly informed off,,
provisions, will more effectually remove
source of constantly recurring irrita,;o"
between the two countries than apv u
ternational compact which has been an
tered into between them since the Traos,
of Gent.
We refer to treaty for the Suppra,
sion of the African Slave Trade, which
defines and settles within specific linn,
the right of Search, that fruitful source ~
vexation and danger during the last fortv
years, At period as far back as that
during the Presidency of Mr.. Monroe, At
ter the Government of the United State,
had by solemn act declared the african
slave trade piracy, Mr.. John Q, Adams
Secretary OF State, negotiated treat,
with the British Minister by which, tC,
the more effectual suppression of the slave
trade, the right of search of vessels unde,
the American flag was yielded to British
cruisers, both in the waters of the African
coast and those of America. We SPEAK
from memory, not having time at this mo-
ment to refer to the documents.
This treaty or convention was submit.
ted to the Senate of the United States 70,
its consent, and was confirmed by that
body, 1.-TWO thirds of course conserving, !
with single amendment, to wit stir.
king out the privilege of search in Amer.
can waters. This amendment not being
acceded to by England, the treaty failed
and from that time to this, through var,
Gus unsuccessful efforts to adjust it, the
question has remained open-one party
frequently exercising the right of visit, /
not of search-and the other resisting and
complaining of it as an insult and aggres.
sion, often threatening serious misunder.
standing between the two nations, until
the present moment, when the counse
of wisdom, humanity and concession have
happily prevailed, and the question hs,
been settled unanimously, finally, and
from what we learn of the treaty, felci
tously-conferring honor on the distin
guished negotiators, who will receive, a
they richly deserve, the thanks and plsp
dts of the friends OF peace and humanity
throughout Christendom.

Prentiss. at Pittsburg Landir

Gen. Prentiss, at Pittsburg Landing,
was in the advance prior to the battle,
but he sent out neither scouts nor pickets.
The forces of the enemy had for two
nights been looking into his camps, and
seeing all the movements there, and he
knew it not. Thousands of them en-
camped on Saturday night within mile
of him, and he had no dream of their be-
ing within twenty miles. a
Many believe that Gen. P, discover
ing the terrible and most criminal blunder
when the unannounced rebels were in his
camps, bayoneting his helpless soldiers in
their very tents, was but too glad to sur.
render himself prisoner of war, feeling
that he could never have the face to
meet his loyal friends again.
If We are doing injustice to General
Prentiss, we shall be happy to correct it
If he is guilty of the neglect charged
upon him, we presume he can have nc
wish to be exchanged. There can be
no place in the United States where be
would like to live Louisville Journal
Is there not a painful suspicion thai
Gen. Prentiss was disloyal?

A CORRESPONDENTS OPINION. - A
correspondent of the Philadelphia In
quirer (Republican) with the army before
Yorktown-and no paper employs more
able writers in this branch OF journalism
writes thus hopefully to the public,
giving his own conclusions, as he cannot
furnish the facts in his possession to
enable the reader to draw his own:
at is wise injunction that we should
"possess eur souls in patience" 7 he
plans for the reduction of Yorktown can
not be published at present, but when the
day of onset comes we shall be ostonashed
at the noaO unknoaDn elements which shall
enter into the contest. There may be
Malakoffs to storm, but when the storm
ing time comes there will be no "North
side upon which the rebels can retreat
Whatever may be the present aspect Of
Yorktown, if the rebels stay there they
will be hemmed in, surrounded and cu
off. Two hundred thousand of the best
troops in the world are marching upon
them from several directions, and neither
guns nor gunpowder nor Jeff Davis in
command, can save them from the final
catastrophe. .......... 49, .-.

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY l.

nHThe Courier has much to say about the
alleged inconsistencies of the Herald, char
gine that il is on every side OF every ques-
ton. If that DO so, we must be right, at
least half the time, which is more than can
be said Of the Courier. But the inconsistent
eies wherewith we are charged by the Courier
are about like those of the school teacher who
was endeavoring to impart instruction to an
Irish boy. "Spell hostility, john" said the
teacher, Horse" said the teacher it
is hos hostility" " But you tould me yes
therday not to say boss. .Be jabers, it is the
one thing wild ye to-day, and another thing
tomorrow When we deprecate and op-
pose as lnopportune and mischevous the ex-
treme measures urged upon the administra-
ton by the abolitionists, then the Courier is
delighted and calls us " a white man." But
when we deprecate treason and dennnnoe
traitors. A We often dv IN no stinted terms.
rnen The Courier calls us San abolitionist.'
Behold the inconsistency of the Herald"
exclaims the Courier. II denounces the ex-
treme abolitionists one day, and traitors the
next "Be jabers, it is che thing wild it to-
day and another thing tomorrow !" The
Courier can't be charged with any such in
consistency as that. We have not seen any
hearty denunciation of the rebels in that
sheet in long while. .f".a
But nevertheless the editor of the Courier
is not oithou his inconsistencies past and pres
ent. He has been for and against the aboli
tionists or Free Democracy; for and
against the war for and against the Prssi
dent and his policy for and against thu
traitors,--at one time addressing assemblies
Of people In this County, as the Nv York
Herald said of another, his shoulders wrap
ped IN the American flag, and his coat tall
hung full of Fourth of July fire works." ant
at another time denouncing the President
war policy, and calling the rebel chiefs ''clear
and respectable gentlemen, to be treatet
with kindness, and taken by the hand a.
brothers, even while trampling upon the flag
and shooting down our brethren in arms -
He has been moreover, for and against tn,
Daily Herald enterprise; for and against thu
new Bank and to crown all his other incon
astencies, first against and then for the Bali
Mountain Enterprise With such a record
the Courier stands on too narrow ground II
charge us with inconsistency.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.


Letter from camp "a""
IThe following letter was written by III
ram H. Wilson, of Shsrburne, now IN the
9Th Vt. Regiment, to his father, Jonathan
Wilson j
CAMP WINFIELD ScoTr, Warwick
Co. Va, April IS, 1882.
DEAR FATHER / now take my pencil IN
hand to inform you that we had hard bat
Bile on the 10TH Brother Richard was killed
as near as can ascertain, he was shot thro
the head and died instantly. The parhcu-
lars, thus far, obtained from AFRO Markham,
whom / saw yesterday about five minutes
He was in the same Company, you know
Company F, Sd Regiment. He told me that
he did not see him at the time he was killed,
but said he fought bravely, and was IN the
front of the battle, and fired twenty-five
rounds before he fell, Three Companies OF
the Sd waded creek where the water was
about four feet deep, where the devils had
earthworks thrown up in the shape OF har-
row-so they fred into them on two Sides
The rebels waited till they got across, all in
a huddle--then fired into them. Many OF
them got their cartridges so wet that they
would not 60 off at all, then made charge
and drove the curses out OF the rifle pits, and
a part went into the pits-about twenty
and Richard was one of them. AFRO fur
Their says that Richard got down upon his
knees and took deliberate aim and fred over
twenty times in that position, and no doubt
killed some every time, but at last was hit,
and they were obliged to retreat and leave
him in the hands of the rebels. Our regi-
ment was forwarded as quick as possible and
waded the creek in the same place, but did
not succeed in getting to the pit, there being
too many for US. We were cut up badly, our
company the worst OF any in the regiment
but thank God, none other of the sherburne
boys were killed. George Parker was woun'
ded in the calf of his leg, a flesh wound only
/ hope. George Brock was shot through the
knee-don't know how bad, or how they are
getting along, as we are not allowed to leave
our company and go and see them at the hos
pital, but hope they will be with us in shor
time. As for myself | am we'll, and just ug
ly enough to pay the bloody curses in full
ever get chance, and that chance NEAR
to have before | return to Vermont. | hope
and pray that time will come ere long. The,
have not got the bullet run yet for me, anc
either Richard or | haveskilled the one tina
was going to run@it, and | am going to xii
the one that ran the ball that killed Richard
Brother Charles was unwell at the time anC
stayed in camp, otherwise probably would
have been killed, as he belonged to the mid
die of the company where the most mel
were hit. | was at the head of the compan
"A man by the name of Pingree and my
self went two or three rods in advance of tn

REMARKABLE OLD AGE.-Miss Olive
Fuller, (says the Barnstable Patriot,) of
Marston's Mills, attained the age of 1O3
years on the 1st inst. She retains her
faculties, except the sense of hearing, to
a remarkable degree. She can see to
thread a needle without the aid of glasses,
and talks as distinctly as she ever did
She can dress and undress herself-en-
joys visitors, and complains of her friends
if their visits are not frequent, and she
appears likely to live for many years to
come. 20 ~. .-.z-.r....+ .-.,~y# ..-
