the right Of our Government to interfere

and by the aid Of the military, large vote
was polled for the Administration, and all
frauds escaped scrutiny. SO ends the cam

admission, was for number of years engag
ed in the African slave trade; in kidnapping
and transporting negroes from Africa to the
island of Cuba. On one occasion having
on board his vessel (of which he was caps
tain) about seven hundred negroes, all
mana cled and confined below decks, as he
was approaching the coast of Cuba, be was
chased by British man>of war, and in or.
der 20 effect his own escape was compelled
to run his vessel ashore and abandon her
which he did. Before abandoning the a. in
however, he scuttled and sunk her, with ali
the negroes on board, thus wiping out, in
case of his capture, all evidence Of the char.
acter of his vessel. ..t.r
'Here we have Capt. Pollion engaged in
the philanthropic work of inducting negroe

upon one occasion, whep, with one stroke
of his ship.axe, he sent seven hundred of

with manscles upon their limbs, into that
state of perfect freedom which lies beyond

"Now we find Captain Pollion at the
head of negro company leading them on
to freedom and glory-by different road,

Sherman.

The point wherein centres most public
interest, now that the presidential election
is over, is the position of General SHER-
MANS army in the South. From time to
time newspapers correspondents and the
telegraph have been vaguely limiting at
some mysterious movement to be made by
SHERMAN which would astonish, delight or
electrify the nation when it come to pass
And in fact the nation pas electrified few
days ago when it was announced that
SHERMAN had evacuated and burned At
lanta and was making bis way across the
country to Charleston, South Carolina, but
the Jack Bunsby's who move in "high mill
tary circles" discredited the report and the
movement which bid fair to ,ecome "nine
days wonder" was summarily dismissed
from the public mind. Since then, however,
various circumstance have come to light
directing attention again to SHERMAN's po-
sition and prospective operations and the
opinion is fast gaining ground that he eth
er has commenced, or is about to commence,
one of the most daring and brilliant opera
tons Of the war.
The distance, on straight line, from At
lanta to Charleston is about two hundred
miles; by the roads which SHERMAN must
traverse is going from one place to'the
other, it is probably two hundred and fifty
or sixty miles: From Atlanta to Savannah
is almost the same distance. There are
three plans proposed by the military critics.
one of which it is probable SHERMAN has
already adopted. First, leaving two corps
of his army to watch HOOPS movements
to proceed with the remaining three corps to
Augusta, Ga, and thence to Savannah on
the Atlantic coast. By this plan, he, will
have the cooperation Of Flag-oficer COLDS
BOROUGH, with his fleet of light draugb
gunboats, sixty or. seventy miles up the
Savannah river. The second plan is, to
proceed from Augusta to Charleston in at
lacking which place he will have the assist
ance of the feet now before that city and
by combined and naval attack, could not
fail to reduce it. Tie third plan is, to adj
varce from Atlanta northeast wardly
through Eastern Tennessee into Virginia
and effect a junction with GRANT before
Ricf mond. The execution of either o.
l. r.
and state Of discipline in the army which
will entitle those successfully performing
it to higher merit than has been yet
achieved by any American troops. Each of
the plars proposed seems to US chimerical
and savorins of impossibility. If SHERMAN
adops either of tbom, We will confess to
much establishment should he escape dis
aster.

The circumstances of the case are said to
be as follows: While the United States
steamrhip Wachusett, commanded by CAPT.
COLLINS, was lying in Bohea Bay at San
Salvador, a Brazilian port, the Confederate
privateer Florida came in sight and was
about to enter the harbor. SEEING the Wa
cbusett, she was about to retire without
coming to anchor, when she was invited in
by the Brazilian Admiral and assured OF
protection. She came to anchor under the
guns of the principal fort commanding the
Bay and was, to some extent, the guest OF
the Brazilian authorities. On the night o.
the 18th ult the Wachusett got up steam and
ran into the Florida, striking her amidship:
and damaging her to such an extent as tc
compel her instant surrender She wa:
then taken in tow by the Wachusett who
steamed quickly out uf the harbor. Sever
