NJ. ID. Conway, one Of those inflated
hampions Of freedom whose zeal is ever
in advance Of common sense, left the coun-
try few weeks ago in utter despair of the
cause Of the Union. Arriving in London
he opened . correspondents with j. M.
Mason, Confederate Commissioner TO Eng
land. He proposed that il Mason would
guarantse that the Southern Confedsracy
would emancipate the slaves Of the Soath
he would procure an agreement from the
leading anti-slavery men of the North
that they would oppose the further prose-
cution of the war and secure Southern
Independence.
Mason replied and asked Mr.. Conway
who were his principals and what names
he could procure to the bond. To this
Conway responded that be would have
to write 10 the United States and consul,
with his friends. Thsreupon Mason re-
piled rejecting the proposition with scorn
and proclnimiDg his intention to publish
the correspondence in America.
Evidently the Southern diplomat who
forced our Congress to "bolt down" his
odious fugitive slave law, quite overleaped
himself ip this feat Of diplomatic leger-
demain. His contsmptuous rejection Of
the idea of emancipation viii open the eyes
of many persons in England who have
been duped with the notion that the Con.
federste government is favorable to that
measure, while the publication of the cor
rsspondenee will have no such effect in
the United States az he anticipated -
Fur even Lloyd Garrison and Gerrit Smith
rspudiata Conway and treat l,is arroga ee
and his policy with ridicule and con-
tempt
Clearly j NJ Msson's dcspicable dipIo-
matte dodge is likely 10 have most dam
aging ehsct. not only upon his reputation
as diplomatist, but upon the prospects
Of the hegus concern which be proiesses
to represent in Europe.

After residence Of sixty nine years in Balti-
more, Madame j. NJ F. Chatard died on " ed
nesday, the Goth Of May, in the eighty-sixth
year Of her age, She was the wife OF the late
Dr. Peter Chatard, one of the most popular ana
esteemed physicians of Baltimore. Some Of
the incidents Of her life were peculiar. Born
in ST. Domingo on Christmas day of l777, she
removed to France at an early age to be educa-
ted. From the windows Of the school where
she was placed at Nantes, she witnessed some
Of the awful horrors of the revolution. OF that
period This school was upon the banks OF the
Loire, in which so many of these victims were
drowned. The impressions made upon her
youthful mind by these scenes were never af-
forwards ef1aced. After the execution Of Louis
XVI. of France she came in 1884, to this
country to Join her father, NJ. Boisson who had
been almost miraculously rescued from death
during the revolution in St. Domingo. Her
death has occurred during as eventful a period
in the history Of this country as happened to
France during her residence there in early
Gfe The varied Incidents of her career were
not without effect upon her character. She
was ever busy in works Of charity and piety-

A BRAVE MANS ADVENTURES.

The New Orleans Delta says Of the man
Chas. McGill, assistant engineer OF the
steamer Empire Parish, who was killed by
Louisiana rebels in the recent attack upon
that steamer:
'sThe history of this brave man daring
the pastfew months, has been one of strange
adventures and escapes. He was on one OF
the rebel guno0nts in the battle above the
Forts on the Oath of April last, where he
was disabled by bali that had been loos-
ened by shot. lie was lying down 10 an
insensible state, when some one struck his
foot against his head. This revived him,
and be discovered thesvessel had been aban-
doned and was on FIRE. Making a great
effort he threw himself into the river and
swam ashore, where be took refuge in the
swamp. Danger followed him even here,
for, as one of the vessels blew up, piece
iron, weighing some two or three hundred
pounds, struck within two or three feet OF
him, having been hurled that distance by
the force of the xplosion. lie was soon
found and cared for, brought to this city
and sent to report to the rebel naval officer
at Jackson, Mississippi. From there he
was ordered to Memphis, and was in the
guuboat fight before that city, where his
boat was again blown up. From Memphis
he came to this city, and has been engaged
on the steamers running to and from the
coast. lie &as on the Empire Parish when
she was before attacted BY guerrillas, som.
thr ee months ago. lie Wss also engaged
on the Inflated steamer Star, but lefs bel
on her trip just before she was captared
and burnt BY guerrilas. He vas well liz ed

man who would nos shrink from persOna
danger when his duty required him TO bFaV'
