SHOCKING BARBARIrIEs AT TUN1s-A HoR-

SHOCKING BARBARIrIEs AT TUNIs-A HOR-
RIBLE SToRY.-The Tunis correspondent of
the Levant Herald, of 18th ult., says:
In my last briefly mentioned the barbar-
Gus logging, or rather sticking" of the
Arab prisoners sent in couple of days be-
fore from the camps. In the hurry of catch
ing the steamer had hardly time to report
the punishment, and to say that it had pro-
duced a very bad general effect. 1t had be-
gun the day before the arrival Of Prince Ar
thur, and in compliment to him the bar
barous operation was suspended during his
brief stay, to be resumed, as soon as the
Euchantress left, with greater vigor and
cruelty than ever. One of the victims was
Sheikh Hadji Moubarik, a man of great
influence among the Arabs, and who more
than any one else contributed to the ces-
sstion of the late revolt. This unhappy man,
though sixty-seven years of age, was or
dered by the Bey to receive two thousand
blows, and of these every one was inflicted.
l witnessed the first part of this punishment,
but was unable to see il out, the cruelty was
so revolving. The wretched prisoner was
thrown on his face on . piece Of mating,
with his feet tied together, and his head and
shoulders held down by a soldier. The blows
were laid on across the hips and small of the
back with q thick aspen stick, as heavily as
a strong man could deliver them, and as one
tired another took his place, while a third
counted the blows, and shouted "strike hard
or, strike harder 20 When tho victim had
received three hundred blows, he called out
imploring them 10 kill him right off; but the
only result was that the stick was welded
with more brutal vigor than before. The
whole two thousand blows were inflicted,
and At their conclusion the victim was
taken up-dead. Seven other shiekhs re-
ceived each fifteen hundred blows; of
these also two died under the infiction,
and the other five within half an hour
afterward. OF those who received five hun
bred blows, / am tod, five died after
being thrown into prison. Nearly the whole
of these victims were old men, many of
them above seventy years of age. Ihear it
remarked that no lever than l32, 500 blows
have been given TO this one batch Of pris
oners, and at the camps, am assured, pun
ishment of similar barbarity is dealt out
daily. For the honor Of humanity, it is to
be regretted that none Of the consuls have
interiered to prevent this brutal CT uelty.-
Here was q matter in which all might have
Joined in a remonstrance which the Boy
would not have dared to disregard, and yet

THE REWARD FOR JEFF. DAVIS.


The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Times says it ought to be under
stood that the recent proclamation offering
a reward for the apprehension Of Jefferson
Davis, as one of the parties implicated in
the assassination OF Mr.. Lincoln, was not
issued by President johnson as his indiyidu-
al act, or merely upon his personal opinion
as TO the guilt Of Davis. Il was issued in
pursuance Of the decision OF the proper
legal authority. IL was first unanimously
decided ia Cabinet meeting that all parties
in any way connected with the conspiracy
should be tried BY military tribunal, and
not by civil courts. All the testimony re-
lstiug to the matter was then placed officially
in the hands of the Judge Advocate General,
Hon. Joseph Holt, who examined it very
carefully, and made written report TO the
Secretary of War, giving il as his official
opinion that the evidence proved Davis to
have been connected with the inception and
execution of the plot. 1t was upon this Of
feial report that the PROCLAMATION was
based.
Il Is not to DE supposed that any direct
and personal action in Lhe matter can be
traced TO Davis, but twill be proved that
the conspiracy wax framed and prosecuted
with his knowledge and assent.

,.You will be glad to hear that Payne, the
assassin, has fully confessed his crime and
all the details respecting it, and the diff
entities he encountered. He confirms fully
the story of the colored lad who let him
into the house, and also Major Stewards &C
count. The details which he gives are, for
obvious reasons, not made public at present;
ne saws, however, that all the plans of that
Friday night not being carried out was the
greatest failure that ever was. He has not
made any revelations respecting his accom-
1lices. That will doubtless follow.

80 ITALAN WESTON.

N. Theirs has recently ma ie an important
speech in the French Legislature OF the
Italian question. The great statesman ayows
his opposition TO the unidcation Of Italy as
being opposed to the real interests Of France.
He advocates the maintenance Of the tenn
poral power of the Pope, uncontrolled by
any other sovereign OF State, and enunciates
the theory that it is bad policy for powerful
military nations 10 raise up struggling States,
as they are always ungratefdl, as he alleges,
Holland and America have been 20 France
for her aid. The unity Of Italy, he says,
will engeoder the unity Of Germany, and
Napoleon wi Il soon ind himself opposed by
millions Of ''free" Italians at HIS gates, and
millions Of Gree Germans beyond the
Rhine. NJ. Theirs argued that it was the
duty of France to protect aud defend Catho-
Icism, guaranteeing freedom Of expression
to all other forms OF Christian worship, and
conc luded BY asserting that he did not al
dress himself so much to the Chamber as to
