the Chamber OF Commerce had an interview

urged him to make arrangements forthwith to
issue letters of marque and reprsal, under the

understood to have made a strong impression
upon Mr. Lincoln. A contrary view, however,
was subsequently urged by Senators who were
prominently in opposition to the passage of the

TIE DETROIT RIor-FAuLKNER NOT A NEGRO.
twenty-five of the Detroit rioters had been
arrested up to noon on Saturday. Thirty-two
buildings were burnt The buildings were gen.
orally of small value, but theY contained all the
worldly goods of the poor desplsed occupants,
and the only shelter they possessed to screen
them from the storms of winter. The recent
inmates are now bouseless and friendless
Faulkner, the man guilty Of the foul crime,
which so melted the flemish malevo!ence of the
rioters, it now appears, is not negro. He s a
dark skinned man, with blue eyes and straight
hair, ard claims to be Spanish Indian He
has never associated with negroes, never owed
them TO enter his saloon, and has always exhib-
tied great hostility to the African race. He has
been a registered voter in the Third ward of
Detroit, and always voted the Democratic ticket
in fact a genuine Copperhead. And thus the
poor blacks have been made to suffer for the
criminal acts of one of their most determined
enemies. This thing has happened before
During the progress of the riot, says the De.
troit Tribune, the dends fercely demanded the
"lynching of some damned abolitionist," the
"killiDg of damned Niger" the shooting of a
cussed Abolitionist," &C., showing the aai,aus
which urged on the mob.

From the South Bend Ind.) Register, March s.

A MOST INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.
We have received aletter from w. H. Ham.
lett, residing at or near Bloomingsburg, Fulton
County, in this State, dated February %, from
which we gather the following facts:
Franklin Z. Hamlet, a member of Company
d, 18th Indiana, died of typhoid fever and was
buried at Nashville, Tenn, on the 4th of Octo-
Der last. Nearly three moths afterwards his
son, who is also member Of the same company
sent his body home in the coffin in which il
was buried at Nashville, and on the 2sth of
December last it was buried in the family
burying ground on his sons farm, one mile
south of Boomingsburg On Thursday, Feb
ruary 80, under the absurd, false and hvpo-
critical pretense that Mr.. Hamlett's coffin, in
stead of his corpse, contained arms for the use
OF Union men, large gang Of copperheads
headed by Orange Meredith, portion of them
armed with rifles, shot guns and revolvers, pro
ceeded to the graveyard, surrounded it, dug
up Mr.. Hamlett's grave, took out the coffin,
tore off the outer box, cut the zinc of the cof-
fin with hatchets, pried off the lid, and found
a badly decomposed corpse, but no fire arms.
Language fails us to describe the utter
loatEing and contempt we feel for the vile per.
petrators of this disgusting and beastly OUT
rage. Those who thus wantonly insult the
graves of our noble and gallant soldiers of the
Union, who thus desecrate the sanctity of the
dead, do not deserve the name of men They
should be branded with infamy, and become q
Kissing, by-word and a reproach among all
high minded and honorable men, They should
become outcasts from human society, and CON
sort alone with hyenss, jackals and ghouls,
and even they would be disgraced and degrad-
ed by the association.
MIR. W. H. Hamlet informs US that he in
tends to prosecute these grave-robbers, al
though they have threatened his life if he does.
We trust there is loyalty and humanity enough
in Fulton County to bring these infamous
wretches to trial and punishment, but if there
is not, plenty of assistance can be had else
where.
The Rochester Chronicle corroborates the
statement of Mr.. w. H. Hamlet to us, and
says also that the brother and the widow of
the deceased went to the gang ofhyenas while
engaged in their infamous dissertation of the
dead, and entreated them to desist, but to no
effect. The Chronicle publishes the names of
the gang, as far as furnished, as follows:
Orange Meredith, George Emmons, b. F,
Montgomery, Wash Horn, Isra.l Dilley, Geo.
Baxter, Alex. Barrett, Jas. Coplen, James
Nellens, Robert Coplen, Israel DeBolt, Ellis
Strosnyder, Peter Sanns, Moses Nellens, Mar.
tin Duet.
We are quite sure that large portion of the
Democracy will denounce this outrage as heart
ity as we do; but that there are copperheads,
even outside of Fulton County, who so intense-
~ and bitterly hate all engaged in prosecuting
the war against treason and rebellion, as to re-
joice in and justify the dissertation of the
graves Of our deceased Union soldiers, we have
no doubt

GENERAL SICKLES

Gen. Sickles, our readers will be glad to
know, is doing well. He suffers but little from
his leg, and the wound is nearly halt healed
ever. He went into the battle at Gettysburg
almost directly from sink he'd. and nothing
hut the excitement of the battle field kept HIM
up, and therefore his nervous system is neces-
sarily much shocked. His surgeon thinks that
it no untoward accident should occur, the Gen
eral will be on his crutcnes in a few DAYS.
General s. has been called upon by his many
friends; but those who would really have him
recover speedily would serve him best by re-
straining their desire to pay their respects to
him personally, as the presence of visitors is
productive OF no very good effect upon his
nervous system.
