{. Affairs I'm mississippi.

We translate the following from the COur-
ier des Etats Unis of the 12th. So far as the
Governor Of Mississippi is concerned, the
information contained in the extract has
been contradicted. It may be mistaken also
In the case of South Carolina, When the
supercedure OF the Governor OF Tennessee
shall be announced, 1t Is hoped that no au-
thOritative denial of the fact will be made.
Our readers will take helstatement of the
Courier at their own valuation. I. eqg .a,J .
Advices from Mississippi represent the
affairs OF that State In an unpleasant light.
Notwithstanding the tolerance of the Gov
ernment and of the inhabitants towardsitbe
negroes, and the general disposition to ex7
cuse, so far as possible. the excesses they
commit, the latter, aided by the colored
troops stationed throughout the State, are
daily perpetrating the grossest outrages.
Last Wednesday, ex-Geperal W. b: Wade
(Confederate) was assassinated on his plan
tation by squad of colored soldiers. The
next day Mr.. M. b. Wilkinson, of Lauder
dale county, was killed in cold blood by one
of his old slaves. These enormities inevita-
bly, produce retaliation. Hence, a few days
later, on the road from Jackson to Raymond,
two negro soldiers, driving some mules to
headquarters, were seized by the indignant
citizens, and, it is reported, lynched on the
spot. d" '.'
The Legislature, in view Of the frightful
frequency of these crimes, addressed me-
mortal to the President, requesting the ear
ly withdrawal of the colored troops from
the State. Gov. Humphreys, on his part,
issued proclamation Iinstructing the au-'
thOrities of the several counties to organize
companies of militia Immediately. Unfor-
tunately, Governor Humphreys retgns rath-
a,- fhot ..,,Ja nd his rrnal q tiAna have
but little effect. For reasons not given,
provisional Governor Sharkey received
from Mr.. Seward an order to continue to
exercise his functions until otherwise in
structed by the President. The result is
that Mississippi, with her two Governors,
is anything but well governed. The same
anomaly exists in South Carolina, Mr.. Per-
ry having received similar order from
Washington. a.f

LayaIette's Escape from Prison
NV IDIsguised as n Woman.

M. Lavalette held the position Of Post
master General under Napoleon Bonaparte,
in which he was confirme! by Louis the
Eighteenth, after Napoleon's resignation ol
the purple and retirement to Elba. When
the latter again made his appearance al
Paris, Lavalette, instead of following the
fortunes of Louis, as many others did who
had transferred their allegiance to him al
ter the temporary overthrow OF the En-
pire, chose to renew his allegiance to Ma
poleon, who recontirmed his appointment
as Postmaster General. After the battle OF
Waterloo had settled the fate of Napoleon.
and the Bourbons again returned to France,
Lavalette was arrested for treason and SEN
fenced to death. His fate excited the COM
miseration Of many people, and among
them Sir Thomas Wilson, Gan officer in the
British army, then posted with his regiment
at Paris,) who, withtwo other English gen
tlemen, determined, if possible, to rescue
the unfortunate Postmaster. Accordingly
the day previous to the one fixed for his eX-
ecution, Madame Lavalette, who had been q
faithful attendant upon her unfortunate
husband, appeared at the prison deeply
yelled to take her last adieu. During the
temporary absence of the jailor, Lavalette
assumed his wife's outer garments and, by
similating extreme grief, with his handker-
chief to his eyes, and leaning upon the arm
of friend, managed to escape from the
prison. His absence was not ascertained
for some time, partly owing to the adroit-
ness Of Madame Eavalette. When, how
ever, the escape of the evictim was known,
the rage of the Bourbon authorities Z, was
beyond bounds; for they haddetermined tc
makean example Of the "double-dyed-trai-
tor"
On leaving the prison, EavaIette was tax
en- to a friends house. ,Phe pursuit was
very hot, and extreme care was necessary
to get him out OF France; for once over the
frontier, he was safe, He was therefore
dressed in the uniform of the regiment to
which Sir Thomas Wilson belonged, and
was driven. by that officer, side by side, Id
the Bsronet's open chaise, out of Paris, and
eventually succeeded in reaching Munich
In 1922 Lavalette was pardoned, and re-
turned to France. Poor Madame Lavalette
was treated with the greatest harshness fol
aiding her husband, and was kept In priseH
some time, where she became insane. she
lived, however, until 1856, but, we believe,
never recovered from the shock.

Indian ..IIstice.

Many years ago, when a gentleman from
the central part of New Hampshire was in
the Peqpaket country, attending to his
property near the village of Fryeburg, a
company of Indians from the Penobscot
tribe came there Tor a temporary abode, and
pitched their tents on ali elevation near the
Saco river. In passing to his lands he mo-
ticed sqnaw kneeling to pick Strawberries,
and creeping to different parts, of the patch
that furnished the fruit. Her attitude
struck him as singular; but he concluded
she took that, posture as being most CON
yenient for the purpose. On his return she
had disappeared, and he supposed she had
gone to sell the berries.i But as, he, ap7
preached the settlement, he observed the
unusual sight Ofan Indian carrying a squaw
on his back. A nearer view showed him
the person whom he saw In the strawberry
renee several times,l on inquiry of the In
dams an to the cause Of this action, One of
them replied: HE bad Indian. He drink
much .Sorcapee. He drunk, and Checipie

feet In the fire. They burn. off,, AS he
looked he saw they were crippled and use
less. The tribe resented cruelty, and its
council was about to decide on his immedi-
ate execution, but one Of the elder and wis
er OF the number interposed his opinion,
and gave this advicess mo shoot; make
him live long as squaw live; make him car

certainty of his own death as soon as she

But in Gods great school the ration
has made rapid advancement; and now
scarcely man can be found who is loyal
to the government that does not want
slavery destroyed. This curse of the
land, this Satan in our Eden. must be
cast out.
But this is not all. The lesson We
have mastered SO fully is for the instruc-
ton of the world. All mankind are in
terested in it; and il shall come to them
as the song Of hope and the demonssra-
ton of faith. Every where in it the
mighty Instructor is visible. 1t is lu-
minous with His presence. And He.
who in three years has "coaverted our
nation from the error of its ways" can
as easily and as quickly convert the
world. By the ordinary processes of
education. it would have required fifty
or hundred years to aboli,ionise the
people Of this land as they are abolition
ICED to-day. 1t will take a century at
the least to disenthrall the people Of
England from ,bs spell Of titled dignity.
1t is part Of an Englishman's nature
almost, to crouch down and look up to
my lord and my lady, But God can
obliterate this cringing spirit in year.
and in two years demolish the arbitrary
distinction between lord aud servant.
marquis and peasant.
Ills the direct bearing the American
contest has upon this very point which
makes it Of overshadowing importance
to both the titled and untitled people Of
Europe.
And what shall be the issue Will
the strife end in the triumph Of caste !
Not for moment do We believe it, We
have faith in our armies; but We have
more faith in God, who can destroy them
il He wills. Has God educated us, and
have We been progressive scholars in
His school? Certainly this is so. Then
the "sun cannot go backwards" on the
disl-plate Of Time. Onward is the
watchword, and God is in it. Over the
earth down among the nations shall the
cheering and string notes swell and
prolong. and up from the pits Of serf-
dom and debssement sl..aiii the people
upspring, clatch tyrants by the thro.,
as they unfurl the banners of Freedom
to the breeze, and shout the glad ar.
,hems OF Liberty to the world.
Such is our struggle in its bearings
upon mankind; and from the days oi
our final triumph onward We may ex-
pect to witness the fruits Of our tolls
and sacrifices in the redemption oil
earth's children from the thralldom OF
usurped power.

ing drunk on the occasion of his inaug-
ural, and was so besotted by liquor .ha.

intoxicated! "How have tbs mi ighty

sides to resign at once. His acts have
placed him beyond me pale of forbear-
ance, !! is claimed, and he should no
longer continue to insult the nation he
mas digraced by holding on to the posi-
tsOn to which cou6ding people have
raised him.
What the result will be we do not
know. It seems that the habit Of drink
is one recently contracted--since the
war commenced. and many Of his for
mer friends we're entirely ignorant Of
his fall. How much longer shall this
curse Of ln,emperance send its blight
over the land. ere the people will arise
in their majesty and crush the monster
as they are crushing Slavery? Heaven
send the day Of its destruction may
speedily dawn.
Perhaps this National disgrace was
necessary to awaken and arouse the
people to the contemplation of the rs-
wages Of this monster vice. preparatory
to vigorous campaign against it. We
trust it will be made to perish quickly.
