Horrible Massacre.

A correspondent of the st Louis RepubH-
can relates the following horrible affair;
"On the 4th inst, eighteen. negro soldiers.
fully armed, came from the camp on Island
No. 10 to Compromise, Tennessee, and went
to the house of Mr. Beckam, on the river,
and murdered him, aged forty years, his old
father Major Benjamin Beckam, aged eighty
and four children of Mr.. f. Beckam, Laura
aged II F.; Kate, aged 10; Caroline, 7, and
Richard 2years. They first caught Mr.. F.
Beckham AM his aged father, tied them,
marched them to the edge of the river, shot
and stabbed them, and threw their bodies
into the water, They then threw little Di OK
ir to the river, tied the two youngest girls
together, and threw them in, then forced the
the Oldest girl and beat her over the head
with their muskets until she sank down. The
bodies of old Major Beckhain and the young
est child have been recovered. Many of our
passengers and myself went to the house and
saw them, Fortunately, two of the family of
children were off at school and the mother
and one child, four years old went to Ow
ensboro', Kentucky, with US on oar last trip
Ill the rest aDere murdered.
Twelve Of the negroes were caught by our
cavalry, and are now confined at Island No
10. Six are yet at large. The immediate
motive for the deed was thought to be tn
fact that Mrs. Beckham took up the river
with her negro girl as nurse whose uother
had run off and was at Island No. 10. The
negroes had before endeayored to steal the
girl away, but Mr.. Beckham drove them off
with arms.
Such is one of the results of putting arm.
in the hands of the negroes, and teachino
them abolition doctrines. We ask where
the man not lost to all sense of humanity
who can approve of scheme of which the
above horrible occurrence is onlythe begin
ming of the end desired and sought after?

Mr.. EDITOR /:

The inhabitants of the atsatally cui
ct village of Mehoopany, were thrown into great
confusion, the morning of June 25th, at the an.
nouncement of Loyal Leugae meeting which was
to be held the following evening, at the basement of
the Methodist church Advertisements were posted
in the most popular places by JudSon, the gress
l1arrior, and mighty man of aeiSdOm, who 1t az
pears, spared no pains to make the meeting grand
affair. 1t was really amusing to see him walking
the street, with his hands in his pockets heao thr
back-whilc his breathing resemb.ed the sound o:
distant thunder.
At the time appointed, might have been an
in teresting company vending their way towards the
church. while the sound of the drum and fife, the
barking of dogs and the believing of cows gave
" speed to their fiji ght'' No doubt the roar of the
cannon would have greeted ears had it not been
seriously injured by Wesley, at the taking of Rich
m0nd.
The Secretary in speaking Of the ting, says:
" 1t was held for the purpose of promoting loyalty
at home, and for the encouragement of those noble
sons in the field, who are shedding their blood for
their Country's righs, &C." (Why did he not say
for the negroes ?')
Well may our worthy Brother" extol the 'no-
bic sons, of others while Burton is finishing his
education, and WesteyS eyesight is falling Caused
by the too frequent the spy7glass, on washing
days. we presume) that there is no probability of
his ever having any noble sons in the feld''
The meeting addressed by Billy of the Re-
publican" But part of the auditory was forced to
acknowledge the truthfuness of the saying, namely
There is more pleascre in anticipation than in
particiPation, from the fact that Billy, not know
ing exactly how black they are in Mehoopany, was a
little toe lohitc for them,
The meeting finally adjourned, TO meet at the
same place, on the evening OF July 8th. But when
said evening arrived no Union Leaguers'' we:e to
be seen-their loyalty having been urashed off, at
Forkston, during hard shower. about noon of the
4th; which cnused the creek in lis place, to look
rery dark indeed.
Thus we leave the L" Patriotic people of Mehoopa-
ny, but shall long carry with US happy recollec-
tions of their Loyal League meetings

In the Second District of Massachusetts,
out of SIX hundred and fifty examinations up
to Wednesday last, four hundred and ninety
were exempted.
So numerous are the exempts in Boston
that the government has sent ms tectors to
that city TO ascertain. if possible, the cause of
the excessive disability prevailing there
But the exemptions in Boston are no more,
in proportion, than they are in do zen other
places in New England.

Provost Marshal General, asking him the
price demanded to exempt colored con-
script, as $500 would exempt white man,
bat negro would not be received as his sub
stItute, therefor colored exemption should be
less. H was told in reply that all, not
otherwise exempt, must pay $500, or serve.

fact of Indian depredations in the border settle
