WAsHiSoroH NAvy.YARD, Nov. 8, i6os.
Editors National Rspuolicdn: ! feel Il my duty
to write to you the circumstances Of piece Of
inhuman cruelty that has lately been perpe-
trated upon colored man. The sloop Vsrina,
owned by coiored man named Rich'd Coates,
was on her way to Washington city, with two
colored women, relatives Of his, whom be was
trying to release from the bondage Of slavery.
When opposite Chickamuxin creek he was
pursued bya party Of men in boat from Mary
land and captured by the leader and crew. The
head man was George W. Carpenter, a noted
secessionist ofMaryland, who was only released
from the Capitol prison few days since. This
man Richard Coates was formerly slave Of
Carpenter, but made his escape to the Union
lines. Coates was taken on shore and the women
sent to jail as fugitives from slavery. His
(CoatesO hands and feet were tied by Carpen-
ter, who sent for all his secesh friends 10 wit
ness the murder Of bis slave who had run away.
They whipped him with twoinch fence rails
until they gave out. They then got pieces Of
hree-inch plank, and bored holes IN them, and
tdrred and sdndtd them, and laid him aeross a
barrel and rhipped hin until pieces Of flesh cans
through The holes. Finding that not severe
enough they poured turpentine over him and
let him lie for an hour, unable to move. They
then got horse and tied him to 1t and whipped
the horse and dragged him over rocks, stone
fences, water, mud, &C., until life was extinct.
His brains were knocked out In all directions,
and his body LEFT on the ground and no one
allowed to touch 1t. toA.-.. GN.
These are positive facts as brought TO this
boat by those who witnessed the transaction
Hoping that you viii publish It to tho commu
nifty, / am yours, respectfully,
GEORGE W. REED,
| Captain United States steamer Leslie.

the lines
"a deep vale
Shut out by Alpine hills from the rude werld;
Near . clear lake, mArgin'd by fruits OF gold
And whispering myrtles, CLOSING softest skies
Al cloudess sAve with rare and roseate shadows,
Az would have thy fate"
