each new trial OF lis strength; and If 1t had

his native State would have bestowed her high
cat honors u oon hiul But he was not mer4ly
Yireinian, be was . Southern man, devoted
to the honor, the interests. the constitutional

Smith, Say, Jefferson. George Mason, Calhoun,

FROM ST. DOMTNCO-ANOTIIER BAT
TIE AT PUERTO PLATA.

There has been battle 1t Puerto Plata, .
city on the north side Of St. Domingo, as we
learn from the "Dia,io," Of the lst inst. |,
took place on the 20th ult. Puerto Plata itself
was, Some time since. destroyed Ly the insur-
gents, and the garrison, it will be recollected
we're in m entrenchtd position noar by. One
or two attempts have been made to disk &C
them, and one or tw0 sallies mado against
their besiegeis. The northern coast Of the
island has but few breaks, ard rises quite pre-
cipi.Ously TO tho sierras, which cncloecs tie
rchclinuS district Of thu Cibao.
The action Of tue Goth ult. was, the "Dia
rio" informs us, on the Spanish side, under
Brisadicr General Primo de Rivera: the rebel
commander is not named The rebels are sa:d
to have been superior i'll numbers, and to have
commenced the attack in two heavy columns,
but we're repnlsed with heavy loas, being forced
10 abandon their cntrcnchmeuts, some forty
yard. in length, and defended by two pieces
of artillery, as well as the church Of what was
Puerta Plata, which they hud in use ne L fort.
The battalion de Ia Curonn, under Senor Col
Portal, took these points by the bayonet, and
secured one Of their pieces Of artillery. The
rebels carried off the other. They gave a
fierce and tenacious resistance, face TO face,
which was quite we'll sustained. They then
retired through the woods, placing deep ra-
vine between them and the Spanish troops.
Among the fruits Of the victory, was thsguh
above mentioned, rife piece Of &! centimc
tres, flag, arms, munitions, provisions, cloth
ing, hammocks. and part Of their camp equip,
ase. They lett eighteen killcdin the cntrench-
rncnss, but carried of their wounded. The
Spanish less is said tn be MT large; much hess
than that of the rebcls, but is no: stated.
On this occasion, the rebels permitted the
quiet occupation Of the entertainments after
the battle, which was not the case on former

The Negro Freedom.

A Catholic Surgeon who was much
opposed to the policy Of the Aboli.
tionists, was with our army during
the sei2e OF Vicksburg, and the cam.
paign in the Mississippi We had
lately an opportunity speaking with
him, and we heard him with surprise
utter the most vehement denuncia-
tions Of slavery. Like all our col.
diers, he returned from the South an
uncompromising opponent OF the sys.
ten. He had attended various camps
OF the negroes, who had fed from
their masters or were abandc ned by
them. He saw them Of all ages and
sexes suffering intensely. Disease
and exposure and misery were taking
them from life in hundreds. Our
surgeon friend did what he could 10
alleviate their lot. He spoke to ma.
ny, young and old, when in the most
wretched condition, and inquired,
would it not be. better for you to re.
turn to your masteri" You would
be protected and properly clothed
and fed? The universwer was, even
when at the point of deate, mo, mas
sa---rather die" The thought of lib
erty in their untutored minds was a
compensation for all the ills they had
to endure. They felt like Patrick
Henry, and proved the truth OF the
sentiment with their lives, when he
said in the days Of the Revolution
"Give me liberty or give me death"

Ten Thousend Persons Accidental

In August last, in Japan not n

a whole city Of 10000 souls was
suddenly burnt to ashes in few
hours-a city of paper and mboo,
covering many square miles, filed
with its women end children the sick

Its midst. In that vast con1agration
II is morally certain that not 1900
only, but at least five times, perhaps
ten or twenty times 1000 helpless
creatures must have perished. No
brilliant pen has painted for us the
hidcous incidents OF their last ago,

fire, before which that of Chill burns
but pale ana feebly. The death was
dealt out to those innocent beings in
Japan by English sa.lors-purpose-
