From the Spirit OF the Times.t

The movement is instituted simply in pre-
se1vation If the ships themselves. The secret
oftbe whole matter is. that about two months
ago, Russia expected 10 be attacked by France
and England; and, should this have happen
ed suddenly, large portion Of the Russian
fleet, which would be in excess for the local
service CT the Mediterranean aud Baltic,
would have been locked ~ and lost to Russia
till the WAT was over. She, therefore, de.
cided to gather together all she dill
not require in those waters, and send
them, as speedily rs possible, to the
friendly harbors Of this country, perhaps to
be used along with our monitors and cruisers,
in tue very probable event Of an alliance, OF
fensive and defensive, between herself and
uB. This was shrewd calculation on this part
Of the Russian Government, and as unmis.
takably indicative Of its Involuntary f.ieadli-
ness, US was the quick expression Of its SYM
pathy, so shockingly rebuffed by Mr.. Saward,
at the outeet of the var. Instead, therefore,
Of receiving Greek shells and ponderous Iron

prevent foreign recognition than any other
measure that could have been adopted"
"0c his late visit to ny house, he informed
me that he had brought on large nuulbsr Of
rebt1 officers atd men to be exchanged at
Fortress Monroe. During their passage he
took the opportunity to ask the officers in d

reply was to use their own vulgar mode Of

Dr.. Dean then asked them how that could be
possible since the negroes cannot readi To
which one of them replied that oEe Of his
negroes told him Of The proclamation five
days before he heard itany other way Others
said their negroes gare them their first infoz

Which these exi1es and fugitlves arc charged!
Will it be credited that in this nineteenth
century, and In country where three years
ago people we're free, such crimes can be per-
petrated uLder the name Of the law and yet
1be indignation Of the civilized world not BE-
heaped upon the government that sanctions
as any fscis out Of which human history Is
woven. Tte statements come from men
whose honor is fmpt tacta5le. whose word has
never bten broken, whose faithful oaths are
registered In heayeu--
The enforcement Of the odious, eccursed,
tl1ice hateful couscrip!ton law Is the prolific
source Of all these horrors. i scapegface
sty}td Lieutenant Davis, 4 recruiting officer
for BraEg's division, is at the head Of forty
cavalry, part OF 1arge mounted detachment,
detached for the fame purEo7e, Is harrassing
the ccunty Of Attsla and contiguous counties,
AID huIting down the unfortunate subjects
Of the conecrip:ion law with bloodhounds-
actually with b1osdhoun3s. When re recof.
lect the reproaches passed upon Geu. Zachary
Taylor for the mere suspicion of using dogs
in pursuit Of Indians azd the India1lzsd ne-
groes, ne can only marvel ut the facility with
which community can be gagged and bound
without remcDstIa1ce.
Our Informant had q nephew wh3 was con
scripted. Upon attempting to escepc be Was
pursued and captured by the aid Of blood
pourdb. An Incident relating to the use OF
dogs occurred In A,tala county. Alady whose
husband and Sons were In the army, WAS dry
iDg Eoue beef upon tcaho!d when she heard
the 1,c1ing pt pack Of hounds Determined
to llaye her revenge, eyen though she lost
her meat. she spf1nkled etrychnine over It.
The dogs came up. Their owaers threw over
the scaffold that the dogs might feed. Thir-
teen of them died on the spot. The riders In
their wrath, burned the Woman's house and
property and left her there with the dead
The conkcripts who are hiding in the
swamps Of Pearl River, adopt the Ilnesse OF
the remaining negroes in putting spirits o1
tnrpentpe, onions, red pepper, etc, In their
shoes to conceal the scent from the dogs.
The remostc1ess nature Of the conEcflptton
Law is eeen in the reply made the other day
by ply sician to rnan who had served END
had been discharged Tor inability. In reply
| 10 the question, whether be could or not bt
discharged, the docscr said, "No; there Is ne
| more oischargfng until the hair slips, ani
then, possibly, you shall lave graye!"
