Chicago Markets.

@EfE ~ THURSDAY, Nov Il Pm.
Gold advanced this morning, but the grain
markets failed to sympathize in the upward
movement, and quiet and easy feeling perva-
ded.
Wheat opened rather dull at decline from
yesterdays closing prices. but subsequently be-
came firmer, and closed steady at sl,H for No. 2,
and Sl,0S for No. l Spring. There was rather
more activity in Flour, but prices were without
essential change.
Corn was very dull and heavy, and the market
suffered a further decline of lc p misunderstanding
at Sc for No. in store.
Oats recovered from the dullness which per-
yaded at the close yesterday, and advanced to
64lI@65c-closing at 643l@65c.
Rye was firm but quiet at 95. Barley was dull
and easy at 81, l6 for No. in store. Seeds were
steady and without material change Highwines
were firm but quiet at SIC, an advance of lc.-
Hides were dull and dropping Beef Cattle were
steady and in good demand. Hogs opened Stea-
dy, but closed quiet and easy. Provisions were
quiet and without material change.
Lake Freights were dull and inactive. One
vessel was chartered at lie for wheat to OSwego,
and one at l2c for corn to Coburg, C. w.

A citizen of Jamaica Plains, L. l., went
to answer a ring at the door, at the request
Of his wife, where he found nothing but
basket. On removing the cover beauti-
full child appeared, some five months old.
The lady screamed, one of the lady's visi
tors took up the baby, and found note
pinned to its dress which charged the gen.
tleman with being it's father and implored
him to support it. A rich scene ensued be-
tween the injured wife and indignant nus
band. the latter denying all knowledge of
the little one, and asserting his innocence
The friend interfered, and at last the wife
was induced to forgive her husband, very
roguishly adding that it was their mutual
offspring, which had Just been taken from
the cradle for the purpose OF playing the
Joke

HORRIBLE ATRoCITY OF SLAvEHoL-
DERs.-Capt. George w. Reed, of the Uni
ted States steamer Leslie, communicates to
the Washington Republican, the following
particulars of an act of human cruelty per-
petrated upon cOlored man:
i" The sloop Varan, owned by a colored
man named Richard Coates, was on her
way to Washington City, with two colored
women, relatives of his, whom he was try
ing to release from the bondage of slavery.
When opposite ChickamuXin Creek he was
pursued by a party of men in boat from
Maryland and captured by the leader and
crew. The head man was George w. Car
penter, a noted secessionist of Maryland,
who was only released from the Capital
Prison a few days since. This man Rich
ard Coates was formely slave of Carpen-
ter, but made his escape to the Union
lines. Coates was taken on shore and the
women sent to Jail as fugitives from sla-
very. His (Coates') hands and feet were
tied by Carpenter, who sent for all his reb-
ell friends to witness the murder of his
slave who had run away. ... ..,,..
"They whipped him with two-inch fence
rails until they gave out. Then they got
pieces of three-inch plank, and bored holes
III them and tarred and sanded them, and
laid him across barrel and whipped him
until pieces of flesh came through the holes.
Finding that not severe enough, they pour
ed turpentine over, him and let him lie for
an hour, unable TO move. They then got a
horse and tied him to it, and whipped the
horse and dragged him over the rocks,
stone fences, water, mud, ect., 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 it,
'.These are positive facts, as brought to
this boat by those who witnessed the trans
action rv - F.. -.

MEssRs. STEINwAY & Sons:
Since we commenced business in Chicago un-
til within year, your dealings with us were
fair and manly, anfi all the pianos you sent were
magnificent, and this too without single ex-
ception. Wewere proud Of them and proud that
we had introduced them to the Northwest
within the past year, however, it has seemed to
us that just in proportion as other makers i'm
proved their pianos, till they became dangerous
rivals of yours, you SO far presumed upon your
splendid reputation that you have disregarded
your obligations to US as your agents
family advanced your prices, and, worst Of all
sent out pianos in several instances detective in
workmanship and interior in tone.
Allow US to refresh your memories on one or
two of these points. During the past year, you
have often failed to send US instruments as pro.
missed, pleading your inability to keep up with
your orders, while at the same time you were
freely retailing pianos to our customers here in
Chicago-a course never before taken, to our
knowledge by respectable manufacturers in any
similar instance. .zsag-4-.s.. d.
Whenever, on examination, your instruments
were found defective, we have had them care
fully repaired, often at considerable cost and
trouble, before offering them for sale. In one or
| two cases, you have, in accordance with your
guaranty, refunded our losses, but in the case of
Mrs. c. E. Hovey, of Bloomington, H., whose pi-
ano was really defective, as we wrote you about
the LIST of Sept, and which we had previously Ia.
ken back at considerable expense to ourselves,
you found it easier to call in question the evil
dence of our senses, than to share our losses
Since we gained this insihht into what you
meant by warranted for five years." we have
not troubled you with similar cases, but have
pocketed our losses determined that whatever
course others might pursue, our customers sho'd
know that when we guaranteed them satisfac-
ton,' we meant something by it.
Under these circumstances, duty to our GUS
toners has compelled us to tell them frankly in
various instances, that we believed other pianos
in our rooms were ''better pianos for the money
than Steinways,' and we have no apologies TO
offer for it, for it is the truth; how unwelcome to
US may be inferred hbm the well known fact that
we have expended ten dollars in advertising your
| pianos, where I'VE have one dollar in pushing
any other. We remain, Yours Truly,
