mac Floilla, dated 18th, stating that the Leslie ar
rived at Hampton Roads on Sunday, with the
schooner Hampton Of Baltimore in tow, which wos
captured by the Currituck on the morning Of the

that the vessel cleared light osiensby for the oyster
trade, but took in her cargo at Baltimore She had
on board several passengers who from letters found
on board, appeared to be persons who had been in
the habit OF passing TO and from Virginia. At the
time Of the capture Of the Hampton, canoe at the
same place escaped, but was afterward taken at
Indian Creek, not however until her crew had
escaped TO the woods and the principal part Of hor
cargo, it is supposed had been thrown overheard.
Commodore HarwoOd also reports that before these
occurrences, the Curtuck broke up for the present,

Recognition or Merit.

General Hooker paid his compliments to
General Averill to-day, in personal visit.
While there he called for Lieut.. Brown. of
the First Rhode Island cavalry, who led
the first platoon across the river at Kelly's
Ford, and personally thanked him in terms
of high praise, and promised him full re-
ward for his heroic conduct. The words
OF the General were such that Lieutenant
Brown felt that they were a greater re-
ward than anything else he could receive.
The General then proceeded to the quar-
tiers OF Major Chamberlain, Gen. Averill's
chief OF staff, who, though seriously wound
ed in the face and neck, pluckily declines
to receive leave of absence, and thanked
him in like terms tor his bravery on that
occasion. 1t is thus that General Hooker
makes soldiers Major Chamberlain is a
host in himself 1t is truthfully said of
him that a few minutes before he was
wounded himself he promptly shot an Off
Ger who refused to obey an order in the
face of the enemy's fire--Cor. Eoe. Post

Gen. Banks Policy OF Working the
Freed Slaves On the Plantations for
Wages.
re of the New York Times.
NEW ORLEANS, March y, 1868.

NEW ORLEANS March II, 1868
The experiment of getting the freed
slave to go to work for remuneration has
succeeded sufficiently to satisfy the most
skeptical that, under proper inducements
and a well organized system, they would
be as perfectly docile and industrious as
could be desired. As far as Gen. Banks
propositions to the planters have been car
riea out in good faith, there has been no
difficulty in inducing the negroes not only
to return to their masters, but they, (the
negroes) have done it in many cases cheer
fully, and seem happy once more to be at
home. It is noticeable, however, that
masters who have been proverbial for then
severity find themselves without laborers,
as no promises these men can make will
secure them assistance, the negroes of such
masters preferring to work on the Govern
ment plantations. AS far as l can Judge,
the negroes care very little about their
pay; what they desire especially to have
understood is, that they are now free, and
are working voluntarily. With this unc-
ton they seem to be perfectly satisfied to
perform the hardest tasks without COM
planning, but hint to them that they are
not free, and they instantly take the alarm !;
or suggest, as many often do, that when
the Nationals 'sare driven out of the South"
their situation will be even worse than in
the olden time, and hey become at once
miserable and discontented; and it takes
considerable soothing talk to restore them
to good hnmOr.
Mr. HepwortE, Chaplain of the 47th
Massachusetts,, who has devoted a great
deal of time to the study of this new order
of things, speaks most hopefully of the
final success, and says that the chief OBJ
stacle in the way is the seeming determi-
nation of many of the planters not to ac-
cept any terms that differ from absolute
slavery, with unlimited power Of ply sical
punishment attached; and if these 'sacred
rights" are withheld, they prefer to do
nOthing-indeed, they fold their hands and
invite destruction In this last particular,
at least, their fondest desires are likely to
be realized, for more thorough ruin never
before stared men in the face than now

ly threatens these stitf,necked and judicial
ly blind ex taskmasters Capt. Goodrich,
an intelligent officer stationed in the La
fourche District, states that a short while
AGO there were over seven thousand con-
trabands in one vicinity, and the wretch
edness among them was becoming extreme.
Unaccustomed to take care of themselves
and without resources of any kind, they
were on the brink of dying from starva-
ton and threatened pestilence, when the
opportunity under Gen. Banks orders, ar
rived for them to return to their masters.

Hughes Silver Plate.

To the Editor of the Herald:
The Archbishop of New York respect
fully requests the editor of the New York
Her0id to correct the following statement,
found in the New York Ecening Express
Of yesterday, to which the Archbishop's
attention has been called:
Archbishop Hughes, of New York. when
called on by the assessor for his return OF silver
plate liable to tax under the United States Rev.
enue law. rendered twelve thousand and forty
ounces, with the remark, You need not eX-
empt me forty ounces; the country requires all
the tax"
This statement is entirely incorrect. The
amount OF silver plate belonging to the
Archbishop was found to be nine hundred
and seventy ounces, as reported and certi-
fed to by the official agent of Ball,
Black 81 Co. Much of this consisted
of personal and complimentary dona-
tons to the Archbishop. But to have it
reported that his silver plate amounted to
twelve thousand and .orty ounces is no
less q surprise than the senatorial assever-
alton of Mr.. Erastus Brooks, some years
ago, stating that the Archbishop owned On
Manhattan Island alone, five millions worth

lowed by the law, were not taxed by the
assessor, nor did the Archbishop request
that they should be taxed. The only thing
that could give Il coloring to this unfound-
ed eXaggeratiOn is, that in the Office Of the
assessor, having been complimented by
the latter for promptness, TIE Archbishop
remarked that, since the unfortunate cir
cumStanceS OF our country rendered it
necessary that the Government should be
supported, he thought it wisest that each
citizen should pay his share of taxation
with as much promptitude and cheerful
ness as patriotism could inspire.
The Archbishop would respectfully re-
quest that the papers which may have cop
led the above paragraph, as found in the
Express, will be kind enough to publish
this correction of its misstatements.

Che Prince Of WALES Meets His Bride

When Alexandra got to England the
following occurred:
At a signal given, the sixty young ladies'
who had been chosen to strew flowers be-
fore the bride-elect, arranged themselves
on each side of the path down the center
OF the pier, each carrying basket filled
with the earliest flowers OF spring. At
five minutes before twelve the Prince of
Wales arrived, almost instantly after the
royal gangway was fixed to the yacht
The Princess watched his coming from the
window, but, as he neared the vessel, first
came to the door, and then, after a mo-
ment's hesitation, out upon the deck,
toward the Prince, who hurriedly adj
vanced, and, removing his hat, gave her
an earnest, hearty kiss, in the presence of
all the assembled thousands, who there
upon went into such ecstasies of delight
and applause as made the shores of the
river ring again. The Princess seemed
glad to escape from the cheers now, and,
taking the Princes arm, and accompanied
by the royal parents, went to the deck
cabin and then below.

Sir James Outram, the distinguished
British General, whose death is announced
by the telegraphic summary of the news
OF the bohemian, was born at Butterfly
Hall, Derbyshire,, January 20, 1903. At
the age of sixteen he went out to Bombay
as cadet in the military service of the
East Indian Company. Being posted to
the 23d Regiment of Bombay, Native In
fantry, he distinguished himself by bril-
liant attack upon an insurgent stronghold
in Candeish He conquered the ferocious
Bheel tribes and the rebel chiefs of the
Hye Caunta, and, after having defeated
them, knew how to conciliate them. Dur
ing the war with Afghanistan he played
conspicuous part in the capture of Kelat

he carried the news of its fall weeks
journey through the enemy's country to
Kurrachee. When Sir Charles Napier
undertook the conquest Of Sinde, he con-
demned the war as most tyrannical and as
positive robbery, and was consequently
involved in an acrimonious controversy
with Sir Charles Napier He gained to a
large cACeHC, Cno dHeCClOnS OF the ma
tives. In 1856 he sailed for Europe, was
made Civil Knight Commander of the
Bath, and on the outbreak of the Persian
war was appointed Commander-in-C Chief of
the British forces in Persia He twice de-
teated the Persians, soon after which news
arrived of the conclusion of peace between
England and Persia. Returning to India,
which was then in the midst of the Sepoy
rebellion, he was appointed to the military
command of the Cawnpore and Dinapoor
divisions. On the 18th September he re-
lieved Havelock at Cawnpore; from Sep
25 to Nov. 10 he conducted the defence
of Lucknow, and within few months sew
eral times defeated the rebels with great
slaughter. He co-operated with Camp
bell in the capture of Lucknow in March,
but was soon summoned to Calcutta as a
member of the Supreme Council. In the
summer Of 1860, his health being much
broken, he returned home and retired to
private life. He was created Baronet of

it is due to the world-that the matured
and fixed determination Of. the Democrat

understood on this subject, It is due to
the South, that they may not cherish the

purpose of bringing the Government back

and the destruction of the Government

evidence of division among our people

the war for the restoration Of the Union. /;

war management, and argues that the Dem

The true course of the Democratic party
in the future is manifest We must walk
in the light of the past. If we would main
tain the ascendency already attained, and
augment our ranks by the accession of
those Republicans who are disguised and
alarmed by the radical policy of the Abo-
lition leaders, and who desire to prosecute
the war by Constitutional means and for
Constitutional ends, We must pursue
course alike dictated by patriotism and by
policy. We must heartily and cordially
vass.s We must show no lukewarmness or
hesitancy in sustaining and prosecuting a
war which, if abandoned by the people,
must result in dismemberment of the
Union, the destruction of the Constitution,
and disgrace to this people, which must
attach to them and their posterity through
all time. A dissolution Of the Union once
admitted-a destruction of the Constitu-
ton once effected-then this community of
States will be resolved into its original ele-
ments, and who can foretell where will be
the end? There never was clearer light
shining before public men than that which
Eliminates the way in which we should
walk. We may pursue course now which
will draw to our party all the reflective,
substantial conservatism of the nation, by
the aid and support of which we shall be
enabled to wrest Abraham Lincoln from the
desperate hands of those who are bent on
the destruction of the Constitution and the
Government, and to take the lead of public
affairs. and finally restore the cOnntry tO
peace, unity and happiness. Or we may,
by another course, repel from us those who
have now come to our help and given us
the victory, as well as the great mass of
the Democrats themselves, and leave the
party literally annihilated, and with it the
last hope Of the country blasted.

SUDDEN DEATH-Our whole community
was shocked, last Monday morning, on
hearing of the sudden death of our much
respected citizen, Jared S. Demmon, ESQ.
He attended Divine Service on the pre-

the enjoyment of his usual good health.
After returning home, he supped on
bowl of milk and bread before retiring for
the night. Not wishing to disturb his
sleeping family, he occupied another cham
ber Next morning, not appearing down
stairs at breakfast hour, his youngest
daughter was sent up to call him. She
soon returned and told her mother that
"she could not wake her papa" His
eldest daughter then went up, but soon
startled the household with Il piercing
shrek, that her father was dead. What
distress this startling, fearful cry caused,
can only be imagined by those who have

INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.-Ac certain lumber
man, few days since, visited house
situate some seven miles from town, and
attempted to commit personal outrage
on the wife of the owner thereof. He
failed in his nefarious attempt, but severe
ly injured the woman by striking her over

United States Army officer a few nights
since, evidently bent on taking any thing
valuable that he might find. The lady,
