Now that negro slavery is travelling so
fast into the "sphere Of speculation, and
is becoming so useless as weapon of
offence in political warfare, it is a little
strange that intelligent journals think it
desirable to air the old fallacious statistics
connected with that nearly dead and gone
institution. As an instance, to show how
long bad habit will hang on, we quote
the following from the New York Erenino
Post:
There Tin the South) the blacks were "rais-
ed like cattle, and increased with abnormal
rapidlty by the special efforts of the slave
| owners, while the whites were permitted to
wilt away through poverty and want.
This statement is so utterly opposed to
the census returns that we can account for
its appearance in such a journal only upon
the supposition above suggested. In the
fourteen slave States the percentage of in
crease from 1860 to 1860 was AZ 81 among
the whites; while among the blacks the
increase was only 23.s9 per cent. It can
not be said, in order to impair the force of
this comparison, that the whites in those
States have had many added to their num-
bers by immigration from Europe. as most
of that movement is directed towards the
| free States. IT. then, tho blacks in those

This march of the 9th corps considered the
most remarkable of this campaign. On Mon.

That night they formed line of battle. and
with the labor OF intrenching and several hours

vigor, and an hour later exchanged tools for
weapons and fought with unequaied spirit and

THE Main Jdune relates the following French
anecdote:
At the commencement of the winter two
journalists were in conversation at the opera.
The one, NJ. De x, is bachelor; the 9TH
er. NJ. De Y, just married.
"Well," said one to the other chow do Won
get along in your new capacity?"
"Ah! my dear. there is nothing like being
married. You cannot imagine how happy I
am. When I am at work my wife is at nv
side, and embrace her at the conclusion of
each paragraph This is charming"
g Now understand, was the happy retort
of K, ''why your sentences are so short. +"
This conversation quickly spread through
Paris.
From that time forth the articles of y
were consulted by the public as the thermom..
eter of his cOnjugal felicity
During two months the prose of M
was disjointed and epigramatic, in shorter De-
RODS than are to be found in the earlier writ
ings of Emile de Girardin.
All the women grew jealous of Madame
But gradually the periods elongated,
The phrases were more involved
The paragraphs were inflated.
The honeymoon was passed,
At last Madame " opened the journal
edited by NJ y, and casting rapid glance
over the article signed with his name, cried:
what! but single paragraph in the whole
articie poor woman, a divorce will most as
suredly follow"

York
On motion of Senator Lane, of Kansas,

measures by miles. Was ever such strange
warfare known before? 1t IL easy enough to
see, however, that these anomalous episodes
may be abused. The rebels awaited themselves
OF such truce the other day to strengthen a
battery which had been reduced to silence and
had kept still for nearly week. The work
consequently had to be done over again

". Their appearance utterly refutes the cur
rent stories that the rebel army is in destitute
and starving condition. 1t is simply idle to
talk about starving the army into submission.
The rebel soldiers, as general thing, are stout,
strong, and the very pictures of health. 1t is
insulting to our brave men that statements SO
industriOusly circulated, respecting the feeble
ness and lack Of power of endurance of the
southern soldiers, should be believed. The ra-
tons of the rebel troops may not be in as great
variety as those furnished our men, but they
have proved to be fully as nutritious. This
fact cannot be gainsayed

declared heir to the personal fortune of the late
Sir Colin Campbell (Lord Clyde the great war
rior who, it may be said, won the empire of

case, shows that the hero of the Potomac army
stands already well on the list of heirs pre-
sumptive in the case.

York Tribune writes: 1.-The German papers
have all hoisted the names of Fremont and

this party are outspoken and enthusiastic over
the nomination and are assailing the Democrat

From the South,
THE CAPTURE OF THE GUNBoAr WATER WITCH

III,
New YORK, June 11.-A Hilton Head
letter gives fuller details of the recent cap
ture of one of our vessels:
cat three O'Clock on the morning of
Friday, the Sd inst, the blockader Water
Witch was captured by the rebels in Ossa-
bau Sound. The only person on board
that escaped was negro, who, at the time
of attack, leaped overheard and swan to
Tybee Island, and thence made his way to
Fort Pulaski. He states that the rebels
stealthily approached the gunboatiD scows,
climbed up her sides without opposition,
and Immediately took her into possession.
Not shot aods fired from either side.
The whole substance of the matter is that
the officers of the Water Witch were COM
pletely surprised. The affair is conceded
to be one of the most disgraceful marine
disasters that has ever taken place in the
department. The Water Witch was built
after the model of the Harriet Lane, was
of about 1900 tons burden, and carried
three 100 FOUNDER Dahlgrens and three
12-pounder howitzers. Her fate is not
known, but it is believed she was run over
to Nassau. On the day preceding that of
her capture she had been visited by the
supply ship Massachusetts, and bad taken
on board large quantity of subsistence
stores By losing the Water Witch we
lose one of the fleetest, and, in every re-
spect, the most valuable vessel for block
ade service We had in the squadron. 1t
was reported yesterday at Hilton Head
that small boat, we'll manned, sent out
from Fernandina for the purpose of max
ing search for the missing gunboat, had
not been heard from, and that the suppo-
sition is that the small boat wita its crew
had been gobbled up"
THE CAPTURE OF THE UNITED STATES STEAMER
WATER WITCH.
From the Richmond Sentinel June
The following official dispatch has Just
been received by the Honorable Secretary
of the Navy:
SAVANNAH, June 8, 1864.
Hon. s. r. Mallory Secretary ofthe Nary:
SIR have the honor to report that an expe.
ditiOn from my command, under Lieut.. F. P.
PelOt, Confederate States Navy, last night car
ried by boarding the United States steamer
Water Witch, near Ossabaw Sound, after
hard fight. Our loss is the gallant Lieut.. Pc
let, Moses Dallas (colord pilOt) and three men
killed; from ten to twelve wounded. l will
telegraph YOU more in detail at the earliest
moment, lam, very respectfully,
w. w. HUNTER, Flag Officer.
The Petersburg Express says that the
Water Witch was somewhat distin-
guished craft in the old Navy She
figured, some years before the war, in the
Paraguay expedition, in South America.
She must be a pretty substantial vessel,
and her capture is brilliant affair.

New Jersey, in the death OF tho late
JOSEPH @. HoRNBLowER, has lost one OF
her most eminent citizens. he was born
at Belleville in 1777, educated chiefly at
Orange, and after spending some time in
the commercial house of JAMES KIP, of
New York city, entered, in 1898, the law
Office of DAVID B. OGDEN, of Newark.
He became member of the bar in 1903,
and at once secured lucrative and hon.
orable practice; and his integrity and
ability made him prominent in the legal
profession. In 1882 he was appointed
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New
Jersey, and held the Office fourteen years,
retiring in 1916. His decisions during this
period are marked by learning, legal acu-
men and high moral principle, and occupy
several volumes Of the New Jersey Law
Reports. The Newark Adcertiser says of
the Chief Justice:
He was at home in the niceties of real law,
with its dependencies ofdescent remedies and
executory devises, and in the technicalities of
special pleading; he expounded with skill the
rule OF evidence; he was master of the com.
mon law of contracts he was familier with
the criminal law. which he administered with
the learning of judge and the tenderness of a
father. His opinions are remarkable for their
exhaustive treatment of the matters to which
they relate. Conflicting cases and innumera-
BILE authorities are examined with care, and
there is closeness and precision in his logic
that weaves golden cord of reason across the
tissue of his opinions; and there is a beauty
of diction which gilds the whole. Many of his
judgments will be landmarks in the law. To
instance single one. Great difficulty had long
been found in criminal cases in procuring ju-
ries, in consequence of the privileges extended
to the counsel of the prisoner of asking the
jurors if they had preconceived opinion of
the case. and if so, declaring them incompetent
to sit. In the celebrated case of Spencer. tried
for murder of his wife in 1886 Chief Justice
Hornblower reversed the practice on the sub
ject, and the rule as he then determined it has
ever since been acted upon by all the Judges
of the Supreme Court, and universally ap-
proved by the bar. In Polly Bodine's case, in
New YORK. over four hundred jurors had to
be examined before panel could be formed
TO try the accused and even then without
avail. The rule as laid down by Chief Justice
Hornb!ower put an end to this absurd practice
IN New Jersey, and has been approved and
followed in other States.
