No More Slavery.

People say that the war is drawing to
close; that a cessation of hostilities is
to be asked for, &c. We hope it may be
so; but we hope, too, that those who will
have the interests of the North in their
keeping, will insist on the total abolition
of Slavery. If :his be not done, what
will we have gained by the war? Allow
Slavery to raise its head again, and our
efforts will have been in vain; destroy it,
root and branch, without mercy, without
hesitation; destroy it with every demon
stration of horror for its memory, and
we will have gained much by the war.
The unity of the nation will be preserv-
ed, peace will be on as sure a basis as
aught in this world can be, aud other ma
tions will not mock us when they point
at our battle fields and say, the men of
the North died in vain. We must have
some compensation for the blood and
treasure which we have been forced to
spent; this, we will find in the abolition
of Slavery Catholic Telegraph.

B@~ A Cairo dispatch of the 18Th to
the Missouri Democrat gives the follow
ing interesting particulars of the firing
into the Won Phul, near Bayou Sara:

About two P. ", as the Henry Won
Phul was entering the foot of Morgansea
Bend, above Bayou Sara, battery of
six guns located on shore opened on her;

ed the pilot house. which Was occupied
by the captain, pilot and bar-keeper at
the time, almost instantly killing Capt.
| German, she'll tearing away his abdo-
men and upper viscera; then followed
spherical she'll, which did no particular
damage. A third shot again entered
the pilot-house. killing the bar-keeper,
named Mauray. He was struck in the
groin, and died in few minutes. After
this, some ten or fifteen shots and shell
followed in quick succession, crushing
through the texas and cabin, one mar
rowly escaping the supply pipe. Pilot
Jas. Allen stuck faithfully to his post,
and the engines yet being intact the boat
soon passed out of range. Six miles
above the scene of the fight lay the gun
boat Neosho at anchor where the Won
. Phul arrived and took her in convoy to
Red river. At the head of the bend the
same battery opened again, firing at
1 least forty shots, thirty Of which struck

HABEAs CORPUS CAsEs.-In the U. S. Dis
trict Court on Thursday, before Judge Ware,
another OF those cases came up where the
person enlisting was not eighteen years old
when he enlisted, but had now arrived at that
age. Orson Lane OF Arson pe.itioned for the
discharge of his son, Alvin d. Lane, who en-
listed in the 7th Maine Regiment when he was
under eighteen years OF age, without the con-
sent of his father. He has been sick the
greater part of the time since his enlistment,
and is now, evidently, unfit to go with the regi-
ment. Judge Ware ordered him to be dis
charged from his enlistment. Fessenden and
Butler for petitioner.
Yesterday, Edward +. Washburn of China
was brought before Judge Ware, on petition
of his father, Zalmuna Washbnrn, who repre-
scented that his son enlisted last March in the
It'll Regiment, before he was eighteen years OF
age, without his, the fathers, consent, and that
the son was not now eighteen years of age.
His discharge was prayed for ON this ground !;
which being made to appear, 1t was ordered by
Judge Ware that he be discharged from his
enlistment. Lewis Pierce for petitioner.
No opposition was made by Col. Mason to
the discharge Of either OF the above named
persons.

s1-Do not forget the meeting to be held
in the New City Hall this evening, in behalf
of the National Freedmens Relief Associa-
ton. This Association was called into exis-
tence, under the auspices OF the National Gov
eminent, at a private meeting held at the
Cooper Institute, in New York, nearly a year
ago, in response to an appeal "to the benevo-
lent and philanthropic of the land,n from Gen.
Sherman. Gen. Sherman, in this appeal,
forcibly described the suffering among the en-
franchised slaves near Port Royal, and pre-
dicted that this suffering would increase.
Time has verified the prediction. Indeed, it
was evident that great and sudden change
in the constitution of society there and else
where through the South must produce much
suffering.
The purpose Of the Freedmen's Relief As
sociation is to furnish clothing, instruction,
and such other means of alternating the suffer-
ing incident to this great and violent change
of condition, as may come within its power
Its headquarters are at No. 400 Broadway.
Its agent the Rev. John Dudley, of New Ha-
ven, CT, will give an account of its operations
this evening. Those of our citizens, who
heard him at Mechanics Hall last Sunday
evening, will desire to hear more. Those who
did not, will find reason for attending this
meeting In the recommendation, bearing the
names of some of the most distinguished citi-
zens of Portland, and appended to the notice

FRIDAY.-In the case of Jabez Z. wood
man, Jr., VS.. Silas III. Churchill, ME- Butler
made the argument for defendant, and Mr..
Drummond for plaintiff. The charge of Judge
Cutting was able and impartial. The jury,
after being out about three hours, returned
verdict for plaintiff, damages S349 90.

firm of Harmon Pencil & Co., to recover the
amount of two notes-one for $3.50, the other
for S550-signed by said firm, and payable to
plaintiff The plaintiff discontinued as to
Thomas PennelI. The defence is, that there
was no partnership of the parties, and that
the defendants are not liable. The case was
tried at the April term last year, but the jury
could not agree upon a verdict The case was
opened to the jury, and some witnesses were
examined,

the applause that followed revive unpleasant

which others were to assist. We were on
