Captain MASSEY is still in jail at, Gene
SEQ, New York, awaiting bail for his de-
livery. Miss MoTAvIsH calls daily to see
him, and carries from the hotel where she
stops good dinners and champagne, and
with these luxuries her tenderest sympa-
thies She rides about the village in a
carriage, and is already lioness with the
good people, who cannot but admire her
pluck, whatever they may think Of her dis
cretion On Monday morning two gentle
men arrived at Rochester from Toronto,
and went to Geneseo. They are under
stood to be friends of MASSEY, and will no
doubt enter bail for his release.
Miss MoTAvIslI denies that Mr. CAM
ERoN is her guardian, and declares that the
man holding that relation to her is at Mon
treal. This is an important point to be
settled, for if Mr.. G. is not what he pre-
tends to be, why of course the suit under
which MASSEY is arrested is void.
n Rochester paper Of Tuesday says:
On Friday evening arrangements were made
to obtain bail for the appearance of Captain
Massey, and on Saturday morning, early, he
left the Jail at GcneseO, went to the hotel, met
Miss McTavish, and they Immediately left the
place. They took the cars of the Erie railway
soon after leaving GeneseO, and went South.
They are doubtless in New York or Phadel-
phia ere this.
On Saturday the adjutant of the 30th reoi-
ment of British infantry was here from Toronto,
and went to GeneseO-tOO late to see Massey.
He went to procure return of his furlOugh.
which had been granted for two months,
and not to assist him in any way. He stated
that the officers of the 30th felt that they had
been disgraced by Massey's conduct, and were
highly indignant
So Captain Massey and the gay Miss Meta
wish have departed from this region When

JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, June 1G.-The

peace within our borders; treating of State
affairs generally, and concluding with ten
derlng his resignation as Provisional Gov

Tor the perpetual prohibition of slavery in the

cpated blacks for complete freedom; fourth,
for submittieg said ordinance to Il vote of the
people on the first Monday Of next August
MIR. Breckenridge of ST. Louis, introdu-
ced an act providing for the emancipation
of all the slaves after the 1st of July next,
and apprentcing their minor children
until 1876.
A discussion arose whether Vincent
Marmaduke, member from Saline county,
should take a seat in the convention, he
being under arrest for disloyalty, and now
on parole in the city Of St. Louis Pend
ing which the convention adjourned.
JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-. June 16.
The convention met at o'clock Mr..
Smith OF st. Louis, introduced an ordin-
ance providing, first, that no slaves shall
come into the State for permanent resi-
dence therein; second, on the 4th of July,
1870, slavery shall cease forever in Mis-
souri, third, the Legislature may by law
declare the political status of free per ons
OF color, and provide a just and humane
system Of apprenticeship to be exercised
through the country, to prevent such per-

and lawful measure to suppress the rebel
lion. He has not knowingly employed,
nor shall he knowingly employ any other.
Differing from the meeting that certain
military arrests and proceedings following
them, for which he is ultimately response.
bic, are unconstitutional, he argues the
question to show thatthe provisions of the
Constitution quoted have no application to
the case in hand, because the arrests COM
planned Of were not made for the reason
defined in that instrument, and upon the
conviction OF which the punishment is
death; nor yet were they made to hold
persons to answer for any capital or other
infamous crimes, nor were the proceedings
following, in any constitutional or legal
sense, criminal prosecutions. The arrests,
he shows, were made on totally different
grounds, and the proceedings following
the arrests, the President would be glad
to correct on reasonable and satisfactory
evidence. H..-. ..."" 80 o."

Correspondence of the Nashville Unicn.


CARTHAGE, June /, 1868.
a very striking illustration of the negro
equality humbug of certain Southern reb-
els, occurred about week ago not far
from here. A poor, but honest and re-
spectacle man, started to move with his
wife and some small children. He was
taken by some rebel troopers and march
ed more than mile, his wife with him.
There, after other indignities and rob-
berries, his wife was searched by a negro
woman, by order Of Lieutenant Colonel
Z. Anderson, of the 18th Tennessee (rebeD
Cavalry, Colonel Baxter Smith, who
would have scorned such an act, being
a prisoner; thus degrading poor white
woman, a native TennesSe AN, beneath
a great strapping, dirty negro wench,
belonging to rebel family. l have
heard the woman tell the story of her
wrongs and this gross insult. Some of the
members of the regiment now prisoners
here, deny that it was negro thatsearch-
ed the woman. They declare that it was
the Lieutenant Co.onels brother dressed
in negro's clothes. 1t this was SO he was
BACKED, and passed himself, and was pas
sed by his brother, Lieutenant Colonel
Paulding Anderson, as one of Mrs. Aliens
negroes; and while this increases the in
suit to the woman, the act is more dis
graceful to those who did it. The verac-
ity and good standing of this man and his
wife are vouched for by persons here who
have known them for many years In

TRENTON, June 17.-Gov. Parker, up to

Corps, will leave for the same place to-

believing it. Other acts are comm itted
almost daily, upon defenseless Union wo-

faithless, have deliverance?
