Prison Lie in NORTH Carolina.


The following is an extract from pri-
xaie letter, dated Military Prison, Sails,
bury, N. c., Friday Pm, Feb. ls, 1854:
We have a couple Of stoves here,
which compensate for the absence Of
all heat by perpetual emission Of smoke,
often so dense one can hardly see ACROSS
the room, and which shuts out the strug-
Cling light from the iron barred windows.
For several days past it has been very
cold here, and 1 have kept myself in rapid
motion from morning to night to prevent
oosgulstion Of the blood By all the Ice
landic deiIies, should think 1 was in ST.
beris, instead Of the sunny South"

connection with the fact that our rstions
have recently become short, is unfortunate
for those who have not largely cultivated
the science Of living without eating.

bread alone, with smoke and cold inter

fast from dinner by inhsling an extra

appetite has increased in sn inverse pro-
portion to our proVender. However,

IS pro Slavery and anti niOn-Wsr as any
but blind man can well he st this day,
yet not enough to satisfy the JEFF. Davis
organ in New York, which takes the editor
sharply to task for his recent change Of
base. The Express thus eleverly responds;
"If Mr.. Ben. Wood, in lieu Of his per.
sonal attacks upon Mr.. Brooks in his
newspaper, will come back to Congress
and attend to business, he will find that
there are but ten Democratic members Of
the House who do not in principle and
substance agree with what Mr.. Brooks
said: viz, that as q fact, be it right or
wrong, and as fact to be recognized and
accepted, IS much ss daylight or darkness,
the slavery institution is dead-desd

by the conscription Of free negroes there
into the Rebel army, and by the enlist

ing soldiers. When Mr.. Wood returns to
business, he will learn all that"
The Evening Post states that the ten re-
naming dsvOtses Of Slavery in the House
are probably
"Messrs. Fernando snd Ben. Wood, Cox,
Voorhies, Harris, Aneona, Chandler, PEN

1t has been long time since Washing
ton has beOn go full of rumors az it is st
present. 1t would seem that every thing
is ahoat, bound to scme indefinite shore
under command Of some mythical genius,
who takes supreme delight in keeping his
own councils. Rumors from the Army Of
the POtomsc are as wild as fairy stcFiep::
There is now a sort of court Of inquiry
ct work again on the conduct Of the war,
and il is eaid that wonderful revelations
are being brought to light respecting the
management Of the army since Mcclellan
left the field, especially are Chsncellors-
vile and Gettysburg coming to light in
new forms, and ii is quite probable that
the result will be Q very general cleaning
out Of those now in command. Indeed,
before this is in print the public msy
know who is 10 be the new General IN
command Of the Army Of the Potomac, and
several Of the corps will be placed In 9TH
er hands ere the spring campaign opens
Now if you would like to know what ef-
feet these changes will be likely to have
on the army, can very safely assure you,
tinot much"
The Army Of the Potomac has been
brushed about 80 much that it has become
disciplined TO it and has learned to manage
itself. 1t dOes not depend on any one man
| for its direction any longer, and does not
look for its success to any Generals espee-
ia1 guidance. It has a sort Of an idea that
if It could be cut loose from orders st
Washington and from the War Depart
ment there, that it would soon end the war.
1t may be hoped and prayed for, that II
this revolution in commanders does not do
anything more that it will put an end 70
the meddlesome blundering Of that stiff
necked old fogy-Msjor General Halleck.
Itis we'll known that the only spasms
Of success that this glorious but unfortu-
nate army hss..enioyed have been when il
has been out Of the range Of the Managers
in Washington, and II the Secretary Of
War could get mint from the face Of his
oo-operstiVes here, it might help relieve
the Army of good deal Of Texation,
However we would ssy, in respect to Sec
retsry Stanton, that he is believed to be
improving. he is certainly much more
popular than he used to be with the army,

ried through though every thing else fail
and it is feared by good men that it will
be the cause OF many 3 failure before the
Summer is ended. But in the beautiful
trusting language Of Jenne Deans
There is aine God above rs a. "
and He who has thus far led US through

Since the defeat of General Seymour at
Olustee, our forces have remained in front
Of jacksonville. There is no spprehen-
sion Of an attack in the new position
The fortihcstions in front Of Jacksonville
are Of q formidable character, either for
offensive or defensive purposes, The
troops have been at work on them day and
night, snd an immense amount Of labor
has been bestowed upon them. The abb
surd reports that our forces we're in i'm
minent danger Of capture we're without
the shadow Of foundation. The enemy
ives too badly crippled to follow on the
retreat, and we are confident that he has
little relish to attack US now. A number
Of gunboats lie in the stream ready at 3
moments notice 10 open Ere. General
Seymour's command has been largely re-
inforced, 30 that ct the present moment il
far exceeds the number that the rebels are
reported to posscas. The wounded have
mostly been sent to Beaufort, and are well
provided for. General Gilmore arrived on
Monday, March lst, and began an inspec-
tiOn Of fOrtihoatiOns, etc.
Our troops are represented as not ct sll

A Museum Of Natural History is to be
established in Chicago, which is designed
to be worthy Of the city. At recent
meeting Prof. Agsssiz was present, who
stated that it was within the power Of the
committee to obtain through Mr.. Robert
Kennioott, (who spent shout four years in
making collections in the Artio regions,
and many more years in making collee-
tions in the West) such foundation for 3
museum ss cannot be had elsewhere.
These collections are estimated by Prof.
Agassiz as Of great value, and he urged
the Importance Of sVailing themselves Of
the opportunity Of obtaining, in some re-
spects, the finest collection in the world.
In response to the appeal Of the commit
ice, SSl, 900 has been already subscribed
in sums Of $500 eaeh, toward the enter
prise.

perial Majesty did when he kissed the
baby's grandmother. Tastes differ; bus If
an Emperor kisses Queen, and anybody
is to be indignant, do not see that Il
should be mere spectator. One Of the
pirates hanged yesterday ct Neweate, in
his oriental fashion, wanted TO kiss one Of
the jsil0rs, who had been kind to him, and
seemed more hurt and mortified when the
Englishman declined the salute than he
did ct being hanged. he was told that
Englishmen did not kiss each other-buI

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

But, as have said SO often, much if not
all, rests with the Emperor Napoleon. War
or peace are at his hands. England, in
the present humor Of her Government, will
not set with him, cannot aot with him, and
dare not act against him. England must
unite her policy to that of France; in
other words, accept Napoleon ss her leader
and chief, bend the knee to the heir Of the
man she helped to defeat at Waterloo and
imprisoned st st. Helena, or she must re-
main as now, isolated, ,humiliAted, ridi-

Times,
ESaLIsH SLAVES AND LONDON NEGROES.
And this reminds me that the redoubt-
able New York correspondent Of the Lon
don Times has devoted one Of his recent
letters 10 the alleged propagation Of GER
tain theories Of amalgamation in North
America. l doubt whether much can be
done by theorizing on such matters. Peo-
pie are governed by circumstances, prin-
cisles or attractions But If Mr.. Msckay
wished to gosd anybody TO censure in this
matter, he needed not to leave the shores
of this merry England. When the Eng
lish had slaves Of their OWE il London,
they wore brass collars Ike their dogs,
each collar locked on oufie's neck, and en-
graved with the name Of his owner. That
was not very long sgo. There are slaves
in Hogarth's pictures, and in the comedies
of that period. There were negro slaves
in London until sn English Judge ruled
that they could not be legally held in bon
dage. That decision set them free, and ths
free negroes became s'svh b nuisance IN
L.0udon, perhaps, on account Of their treat
ment, that they were all sent TO Sierra Lee
one, on the coasto Of Africa, where the lions
may have eaten them up. Not much was
ever heard Of them. Rut when free ne.
groes began to come to England from Amer
lea, they were petted as much as their own
had been abused. Negroes in London are
seen in the best society, and are sought for
next to the nobility. A decent nogro in
London, especially if an escaped slave,
gets more invitations to dinner, and is
more lionized, thar any but the most dis
tinguished white men. The loveliest girls
hang upon his arms and laugh at his jokes.
You see it in the fashionable premensdes,
the parks, in the dress circle and private
boxes at the opera, and in the saloons Of
the nobility. have heard negro ex.
Whitewasher from Cincinnati, speaking st
a public meeting with great applause,
though he was illiterate, vulgar. and any
thing but an orator. He spokelike white
washing darkey as he WAS, but he did not
whiteHssh the country he came from. 1
think he told more lies, and bigger lies, in
twenty minutes than any man, black or
white, I ever listened to, and as his lies
we're ell in abuse Of America, and espe-
cially Of New York city and State, the
bigger and worse they we're, the more was
