THE IAauIsITiON AGAIN ENFORCED IN
PANAMA-One of the most atrocious pieces
of barbarity ever perpetrated since the
dark ages is that reported to have been in
flicted on &ilOr of the American schoon-
err Gen. Harvey. Soon after the arrival of
the vessel in port the unfortunate man was
arrested and placed in Jail rs a witness TO
prove that the Harvey had brought rebel
troops from Buenayentura and landed them
near Panama. The authorities being una
BILE to get any statement to that effect by
fair means from the prisoner, put him on
the rack, in order to force fnlse evidence
from him against the vessel and her own
ers. The man says he was suspended by
the heels, and his legs pulled apart until he
thought be should be torn in two, but he
still maintained the truth that no troops
were brought on the vessel. In this way
he was tortured until his tormentors feared
that they had carried their brutality too
far, and be was released from his fearful
position. During the. torture the mai re.
tanned his senses, and stoutly defended the
innocence of the captain and owner of the
vessel, but on being set at liberty he fell
senseless to the ground. The poor fellows
legs are sadly swollen and mangled, and he
could hardly move with pain.-Pdnama

THE SOUTHERN Pacific RAILRoAD.-We
had the pleasure this morning of call
from Mr.. Wascom, President of the above
railroad, and DR.. Smith, its Secretary and
Treasurer-both gentlemen residents Of
Marshall, Texas.
They speak in very favorable and encour-
aging terms Of the condition of the road
Indeed, we doubt if any Southern railroad,
except, perhaps, those in the immediate vi
entity of this city, can show so much done
towards clearing off old Indebtedness, cut
ting down expenses, keeping mp traffic, the
track and the rolling stock; and preparing
for future of the brightest kind.
These gentlemen are desirous Of meeting
the stock holders of the road in this city
Messrs Hall & Hildrcth, ofthe st. Charles no
tel,bsve, with their usual courtesy, offered the
use Of one OF their rooms for the purpose;
and we are requested TO invite the stock
holders here or near here to meet Messrs.
wascom & Smith at the st. Charles on Mon
day afternoon at o'clock, when an exhibit
Of what has been done during the year, the
present condition Of the road, and what is
proposed to do, will be laid before the meet
irg. Messrs. Wascom & Smith are stopping
at Nine. Travick's, corner Of Canal and
Bsrohne.-Pcoylne 7fh.

MYsrERIous.-The body of an unknown
white man was discovered on Tuesday last
the 3lst Oct, about II miles N. E. of this
place, in this County, about mile from
the residence of Mr.. John W. Keen, in q
thick grove Of timber, which had evidently
been lying where it was found some six or
eight weeks. The skull had been broken,
just over the left ear, and two bullets had
penetrated the head about two inches apart
on the left or rather the back part of the
head, and the flesh had dropped from the
bones over the entire body. Mr.. J. NJ.
Spillers informs us that number of per-
sons examined the skeleton, and he gives
us the following description of it. From
what could be seen the man had black hair;
the left leg had been broken, perhaps when
he was a boy, and the two middle jaw teeth
on the left side were out. lie was clad in
a home spun, cotton coat, purple pants of
the same material, striped calico pleted bo-
sem shirt, Lowell drawers, coarse leather
shoes, and white yarn sock. The remains
of the deceased were buried in the family
burying ground of Mr.. Keen. His clothes
can + e seen at the residence Of J. NJ. Spill
lers, IL miles N. E. Of Dallas on Duck
Creek.

BaFWe cordially endorse the following
item from the San Antonio Herald. We
have q copy of "The South" now on our
table, and have no hesitation in pronounce
ing it every way worthy of the patronage
Of the Southern people. "Thr South" is
published weekly, at S. per anuum, VIM.
N. Bryant s. Co. Galveston and Houston,
are the agents. The Herald says:
When the people of our community and
Of the Southern States generally reform
their viiiated taste for Northern literature,
such as Yellow-covered novels, Harper's
Weekly, and others Of like ilk, they will be
anxious to find some literary journal hsv-
ing its origin and sympathy with the South,
to which they can give their support. "The
South" published in New Orleans, is a lit
ersry newspaper Of high moral tone, and
Of pretensions which will doubtless be sus-
tanned BY the reading public. Let us pro-
duce our own literature by all means.

Gen. o. o. Howard, who is the supreme
head Of the Freeimens Bureau, is now on
a tour Of observation throughout the South,
collecting information for the President in
regard to his department. The President
desires TO know whether or not the opera
tons of that department can be curtailed.
1t is apparent, and has been for some time,
that the President is DESTROYS Of relieving
the Southern States from allanomalous and
exceptional control or restraint in regard to
their internal affairs. 1t is already known
that he restricts military authority in the
Southern States to tho narrowesI limit con-
sstcnt with the preservation Of order and
the safety Of the Government.
1t is known, also, that he looks with an
anxious eye to the time when the Freed
mans Bureau, established during the war,
and clothed with powers not very harmon
ious with the present condition Of things,
shall no longer be necessary to the protec-
ton of the negroes and the recognition of
he ir new rights.
But we must remember that the Presi-
dent who knows the Southern people well,
has not only himself to satisfy, but he has
also to satisfy II vast number of people VINO
know nothing about us in relation to our
feelings and conduct toward the negroes.
While it is well known that we have,
from the day the negroes were emancipated
urged that they be treated with kindness
and fairness, upon the basis of an intelli-
gent recognition Of their new status, we
have long been of the opinion that the
sooner the Freedmen's Bureau was abolish
ed the better. The Southern people are
thoroughly friendly now, as they always
have been to the negroes; and, as the ne
groes are deeply interested in the continu-
ance of that friendship, it is highly import
ant that it be recognized and trusted.
A Department of the character of 'he
Freedmen's Bureau is o standing evidence
of the absence of that recognition and trust
and continual offence and irritation to
the Southern people. Moreover, its infu-
ence upon the negroes is not healthful. 1t
causes in them the very dstrust which is
so offensive to the whites, and which, If
continued will be very injurious in the fu-
ture to both whites and blacks.
But, as long as it continues in operation
by the law of the land, it is our duty and
our interest to pay due regard to its behests
to give no occasion of evil reports against
us, and thus furnish the President the rea.
sons, which he desires, for its removal from
among us.--Houston Tel.

Great Earthquake in San Francisco.

San PnAsolsco, Oct. \. AT n qu rier 10
fore o'clock today, tho seyerrst earth
quake ever felt here, frightened almost the
entire population into tho streets. During
halfa minute two tremendous shocks caus-
cd the buildings To rock 10 and fro In man
ner altogether alarming. Services were
over Ia most oi the churches, a large coh'
greg,,iun in the Unitarian Church was be-
iug dismissed when the shock commenced.
al rushed to the door faster than they
could be accommodated with exit room.
Similar scenes took place at 81. Mary's Ca
ihedral aud some other churches and sun
day schools. The rush was so despera IL
from the Catholic church on Vallejo street
that the large doors Of the main entrance
we're carried away. Buildings were crack
ell in many places. IL surprises every Que
that large stately edihces like the 0cciden-
tai aud Cosmopolitan hotels, and other
buildings OF that class, are not generally
more seriously injured.
More or less plastering fell from parhaps
half the buildings Of the city. Much win.
dow glass was demolished. Fire walls and
Gornices fell from many buildings The
entire front of the large four story brick
building Just erected on Third street fell
outward, covering about half that street
with fragments. Ono independently con-
strucied chimney of the Lick House fell in,
smashing through the roof Of the dining
ROOM leaving plies among the tables aud
dishes to the astonishment Of the boardcrs
taking lunch. Three servants were injured.
Two Chinese were injured by n falling wall
on Jackson street Bells were set ringing
on account of the oscillation. The bell
tower was broken mp. Fissures two or
three iuches wide opened along the lower
part of the city where it is made grouad.
Some Of this GROUND was elevated many
inches above the former level.
Brief accounts from Sacramento, Stock
ton and Sun Jose, represent the shock as
the severest ever felt in these cities. II
was not felt at Marysyillc nor Placerville.
The town of Santa Cruz was shocked with
great severity, some brick buildings sefier-
ing severe damage. One OF two were des-
troyGd.
