He Accepts--Cruel Treatment Of
Negroes.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Richmond
Wing of yesterday publishes letter from
R.Johnson Barbour, accepting the nomi-
nation to Congress rendered him, but de-
clined in a former letter. .et.. r"
The Wilmington Herald Of the 10th says
the Investigation made by Generals Ames
and Duncan and Col. Donnelan, shows that
the negroes in Fayetteville, N. c., and vi
cinity, have been cruelty treated, by not
only civilians, but the civil authorities
Two negroes were tied up and publicly
whipped by the Sheriff. Others were left
tied until storm prostrated the trees to
which they were tied, holding them to the
ground until relieved. Citizens, too, have
presumed to exercise the authority of mas
ters over these people, and punish them as
they saw fit. 1t is stated that some of the
negroes have been killed. Troops are now
under orders to proceed to the locality to
put stopt to these abuses.

Graphing for the CAble-The
pc Great Eastern Returned TO Eng


HEART CONTENT VIA AsPEY BAY, Aug,
1.-THE British War steamers Terrible
and Galatea, from Hearts Content I'd ar
rived at St. Johns, N. F. at 8 o'clock to-day
(evening of the 18th inst.). The steamship
Great Eastern returned to Shermiss on the
1lth inst Capt. Napier reports as follows:
The Cable parted on Wednesday I'd inst, at
noon in nineteen hundred and fifty fathoms
of water. 1t was the grappled for three diff
ferent times and raised twelve hundred,
nine hundred and six hundred fathoms re-
spectively. The graphing broke but the
cable remained unbroken. The Great
Eastern returned to England for stronger
and better graphing gear.
Mr.. Varley, one of the electicians, writes
most encouragingly in regard to the cable.
He says: We found no difficulty whatever
in graphing the cable, even in the greatest
depth of water. As soon as proper tackle
is prepared, we will probably commence
graphing for the cable again, one hundred
miles east of the break, where the water is
only 1900 fathoms deep. The buoy rides
the gales well, being fastened by pieces Of
condemned cable. Mr.. Field is in good
health and Spirits. e-e.- r.

New ORLEANS, Aug. 16.-The Matamoras
Rancho Light understands that General
Merritt, with 1900 cavalry, recently at
Austin, is now en- route to the Rio Grande.
The rebel Slaughter publishes letter
fully exculpating General Mejia and the
Imperial forces from the charge of assist
ing the rebels. He says not 4 rifle or mus
ket ever crossed the Rio Grande, or other
wise entered the Confederacy through
Imperial lines. Being offered four pieces
of artillery, he called on Mejia to make ar
rangements to get them into Texas. The
latterreplied unhesitatingly that he would
take effective steps to maintain neutrality |;
consequently they were not purchased.
Goods advanced fifty to one hundred per
cent. in Matamoras. }yct1 g ,as'I

New YORK, Aug. H.-But little addition
al has been developed concerning the great
defalcations since yesterday. Ketchum's
robberies are now estimated at $5,0O0000.
r. r. Mumford, who failed to meet his en-

has been arrested on charge of giving
checks on banks in which he had no funds.
His operations involve, however, a loss of
only about 100000. 'dI r'.

LIEUT.. Col. JEFFERSON BRUMBAcK.-In
this life there is nothing more common than
to overlook the merits of men occupying
subordinate positions and to bestow upon
those that rank them much of the praise
that rightfully belongs to the subordinate.
This thought was awakened in our mind
last evening as we glanced along the line of
the 95th o. vi. For the efficiency of that
regiment, and for the soldierly bearing of
its members, without detractingi in the least
from the wel-earned fame of the other Off
GERS, praise is deservedly due to Lieut.. Col.
Brumback for much of it. He has been un-
talteringly faithful-constant and untiring
in the discharge of his duties, and brave as
man could be. By bestowing proper care
upon the members of the regiment, he won
their regard and esteem. Were it not that
promotion, like thrift, is inclined to follow
fawning, 1t is probable Lieut.. Col. Brum-
back would now possess higher military
title than he does. He deserves to do so.

time undertook to make some capital for
his Africanized party.
These speeches created no enthusiasm
among the officers and men. What was
needed for the occaslon-what is needed on
all such occasions-is short stirring, well
come-home speeches-speeches that have
in them a hearty welcome home; and not
a disquisition on government, and lecture
to the men as to their political duty. AS
they are going to remain with us for some
time, 1t is very likely that they will have
an ample opportunity to learn what their
political duty is before the election comes
