From the Jackson fMieh.} Citi:cn.l
Towards the close Of the late war, 4 man

MT s1tc n ace aud happiucss. The name Of the
aduliescr Is Austin Cutter. He succeeded
In alternating. the affection Of Mrs Lyon from
her l3eee lord, and the guilty patf moved
westward, Cutler leaving behind him a wife
and two Children in destitute cirrumstan-
ces.
1u the course Of their percsriuations. the
pair came to jackson about year since, and
represented thetnsc!yes as man and vile.
Cutler commenced work as carpenter and
j"incF, and he and lis paramour lived In
comparative 6eclueton till last winter. When
the revival services in connection with the
Christian denomination commenced, Cutler
tcok m active part, nut only In the choir,
Minister Of the Gospel, aud on more than
ohr occasion assisted In administering the
sacred rite Of the Lords SUPPER When thu
church VAS organized. Cutler became a
prominent member, and always took an &C.
ttye part In whatever related 70 church
CAttc1s. He was nlso a member Of the order
of Good Templars In this city.
Nnttess progressed very favorably with
'Eldef' Cutler, as hc was called; 50 favor
ably that he commenced to negotiate for &C

not we'll with Brother Cutler; that he had
been guilty of the very serious offence Of big

witnesses who had been toulIy wrong
cd-to testify against him and his adnltcr-
ors partner. Cutler got wind Of the ulattcr,
/ and without further Investigation, he and
tis woman whom he called wife, made their

departure at IN early honr on Sunday morn

behind them. He was promptly expelled
from the church which be had so shametully
imposed uron, and the Good Tcmplars nfc
also taking measures to dismiss him from their

Our Neutrality Laws.

In these days of ''fenian" excitement, it
may not be uninteresting to revert to the first
instance in which the governments of the I'm
tied States (then in its infancy, found it ne.
cessary to intsrpose its authority to prevent
the hostile invasion by its citizens of the ter
ritory of country with winch we were at
peace
On the Esd of June, 1877, congress being in
session in Philadelphia the galleries of the house
of representatives were cleared to receive con-
fdential message from President Adams. On
the 9th of July the injunction of secresy was
removed. when it appeared that it was in relation
TO plan on foot for invading Louisiana and
Florida from Canada by large force Ito >
raised chiefly in the then new state of Tennessee)
and attaching them to the crown of great Bri-
tain. Among the papers communicated by the
president one strongly duplicating in the af-
fair the Hon. William Blount, sena or from Ten
nessee, and showing that other prominent per-
SONS in Tennessee were concerned in it. The
Spanish minister had remonstra ted with our
government the subject, and his complaint
was laid before the British minister 1.-THE Hon.
Robert Liston), who at st professed entire ig-
noranoe of the matter, but afterwards acknow'-
edged that some time in the preceding winter an
application was made to him by Mr.. Blount in
behalf of himself and Others Whose names he
declined giving up), profering for certain con-
federation (the nature of which he did not men,
tion), the aid of powerful force, including Ind
ians, to reduce the Spanish settlements, and an
mex them to England-that he then declined Civ
ing Mr. B. any decisive answer-but in the mean
time laid the plan before his government, which
refused to listen toit. A warrant was issued for
the arrest of Mr. Blount, but he made his escape
from the officers of justice. The papers were
loudly calling on the president to dismiss the
British minister from this country, and to re-
ceive no other from that government until
made a suitable apology or satisfaction. Suisse
quently q committee of the senate reported
resolution expelling Mr.. Blount from his seat in
that body but pending its discussion the house
Of representatives unanimously voted that he
ought to be impeached, in consequences of which
they, in body, carried up to the senate an inn
peaehment against him of high crimes and mis-
eee ers The senate sequestered Mr.. Biount

Fenian Prisoners and Canadian Courage.


The Montreal papers are, filled with &C.
counts of the arrival of the fenian prisoners
in their hands, and are particular to speak of
the yells of execration with which the Cana.
dams received them on the route, and the
cheers of encouragement and congratulation
which they bestowed upon the guards of the
prisoners. whose pallid and frightened looks
are dwelt upon with much satisfaction, and
it 10 mentioned with great gles that the pris.
oners welcomed the Jail as a place of shelter
from the Infatuated mob. No wonder-for it
is related that when they were brought on "a
the platform, handcufed, a perfect storm OF
misses and groans went up, with cries OF
Lynch them, lynch them"
Now who were these terrible prisoners tina,
the brave Canadians were so ready to hang
Mere lads, with one exception" saws the
Montreal Gazette; and in looking over the
list we find that. of the fifteen prisoners, three
were lads of only fifteen years of age, two
were boys sixteen years old, and three we're
young men eighteen years old Behold,
then, an entire population of a great city
press, members of government, merchants anc
the masses glosting over the suffsrings anc
mi sfortunes of q handful of wretched boy,
who have fallen into their clutches! N,
man of right feelings can read the accounts
over which the Canadian papers make such
rejoicing, without feeling of intense DISCUS

The Canadians Warned.

The Canadian government has clear RICH,
to try and punish the fenan invaders they
have captured, but the true policy for then
is to treat them lenieutly. If they would
send them back TO their homes upon thei,
pledge never to repeat the otfense, it would
be the best thing TO do. Wesre glad to know
that the reports of the summary killing Of
some of the prisoners are contradicted, and
that the intention to deal harshly with them
is denied. Anything like barbarous ven
gsance would be sure TO provoke retaliation
which might readily take forms against
which no precautions would be efectual.-
