Circumstances Alter Gases.

The Montpelier (Vt.) Freeman gives glowing
account of II severe drubbing inflicted upon a
scholar in the district of Orange Centre, in that
State, by school marin, assisted by one of her
school boys. The Freeman says that the punish
ment was go severe that the boy begged for mer-
cy, and his father prosecuted the teacher. The
doctor was called to examine the boy, and stated
that he was evidently severely punished. An
attempt was then made to procure jury, but
man could not be found who had not t'formed
an opinion, which was, that he had not been
clicked half enough" The suit was then with
drawn, and collection taken up, which paid
all the expenses to which the teacher had been
subjected, and she was presented by the ladies
OF the district with set of solid silver spoons
and butter knife" as an indication of their ap-
prova of the affair.
We do not object to the proper punishment of
children by their teachers for misconduct We
think moderate punishment in very many cases
absolutely necessary, and only refer to this cir
cumstance to show the difference that exists be-
tween the punishment of white boy in Vermont
and like punishment of negro boy in any one
OF the Southern or former slave States. had
any master In Maryland treated his negro ap-
prentice with the same severity that this Yankee
school mistress treated this Vermont white boy,
we would have had the Civil Rights bill put
into operation, or perhaps the Criminal Court
of Baltimore city would have issued its writ of
ha6eas corpus, and turned loose this ''boy with
the dark skim" Notwithstanding he may have
been bound as an apprentice, according to the
law OF the land. Consistency is jewel" but
you cannot find much of it in the party of ''great
moral IDEAS"

Affairs at HaVre de Grace.

The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company are rapidly pushing their
bridge to completion. From the Hartford shore,
two spans Of the wood structure are nearly COM
pleted, while on the Cecil county side the work
on three spans is in a forward condition. They
are also engaged on the pivot or draw pier,
which they hope soon TO have completed.
This bridge, when finished, will be one of the
finest sir uctures in the country. 1t is being
built of the very best material and by frst-class
workmen, and cannot fail to compare favorably
with any other work of the kind in America.
Bye, McCombs 4 Co. are preparing to put again
in operation the Havre de Grace Iron Works,
formerly owned and conducted by the Messrs.
Whitaker. 1t is expected that this work will
commence at an early day. We are acquainted
with Mr.. McCombs, who for some time managed
the "Sarah Furnace" and whom we know to be
an energetic business man, who does not delay
matters of this sort beyond the moment of neces-
sity. AS a business point, there are few loca-
tions in the State the equal of Havre de Grace.
She possesses in an eminent degree all the ad-
vantages of trade, situated directly en- the shores
of the Susquenanna river and Chesapeake Bay,
with the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad passing directly through her CEN
tire, and the Tide Water Canal emptying the
wealth of the coal and iron mines of Pennsylva-
MIA on her northwestern border, and the great
facility for ingress and egress, render this point
one of the most inviting to capitalists in the
country. As location for Touring mills, we
cannot see why it is not the equal, if not the
superior, of the Brandywine. The Baltimore
flour has worldwide reputation. Why could
not the mills at Havre de Grace make as good :?
If water carriage is what is needed, Havre de
Grace offers the opportunity TO greater extent
than most points known 10 us. Or, if railroad
carriage is preferable, she is abundanty supplied
with this m cans Of transportation; and if you
desire to use your own team, there are few places
easier of approach than Havre de Grace, for the
reason that the county roads leading to the place
are about as good as can be found elsewhere
Altogether this locality offers rare facilities for
almost any kind of business

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.--We begin
to witness the fruits of the Civil Rights
bill. 1t has already caused the blood of
white people to be shed in Norfolk it
has been the cause of negroes in Boston
filing places formerly occupied by white
laborers; it has given Massachusetts ne
groes the right, or rather they have impu,
IDENTIFY assumed it, to take seats beside
white ladies in railroad cars, when plenty
of other seats are vacant. In short, it is
continually increasing the bad feeling ex-
listing between whites and blacks in the
North, while it is certainly not bringing
them on better terms of amity and init
macy in the South. We foresee great
deal of trouble in this connection, even
before the Civil Rights bill is put into
practical execution.-N. 7. Herald

marching on ! 1t marched through the
army stealing all it could reach. 1t march
ed through the custom houses, post Offices,
collectors bureaus, legislatures and con-
gress, stealing by the gross. 1t marched
away from the White House lately with
ninety large boxes in charge, and left the
Presidents Mansion Quilted 1t has
marched with his mortal counterpart Ben
Butler from New Orleans 10 Lowell, and
through all the Departments at Washing
ton. Yes-the soul of John Brown is

Another Judgment Against Butler.

The New Orleans Picayune thus gives
the particulars of another judgmep ut
against General Butler:
"There seems to be general overhaul
ing of Gen. Buffers transactions whilst in
command of this department. Yesterday
another of the Generals acts was review.
ed by Judge beaumont, of the Fifth Dis.
trict Court. 1t appears that shortly be-
fore Gen. Butler occupied the city, Mr..
L. Pile, the former city surveyor, was
voted, by virtue of a city ordinance, the
sum Of $4, 600 in consideration of certain
services rendered.
Gen. Butler, on learning the facts, and
in the exercise of the general powers of
reviewing and acting upon subjects which
had been determined by the de tacto city
government before his arrival here, or
dered Mr.. Pile to refund the sum he had
received, in default of which he condemn
ed him to the Tortugas with ball and
chain. UnderNhis duress Mr. Pile paid
the money. He now sues the city for the
sum, alleging that it was received by
Butler for the city.
The city administrators defended the
corporation on the ground that the origi.
nal payment to Mr.. Pile was illegal -
Mr.. Hughes, for the city, in his argu
meut yesterday, opened by the declara,
ton that he knew such was the odium by
which Gen. Butler was held in this con-
munity, that it exposed man to ex COM
munication from all social respect to JUS
tify any of his acts, but nevertheless in
this act he believed Gen. Butler was
right for once. He proceeded then to
argue that the original appropriation to
Mr.. Pile was illegal.
Mr., Rozier for Mr.. Pile stated that it
was not now onl y that he had opposed and
denounced the arbitrary acts of General
Butler and of other military despots-
He had "bearded the lion in his den"
and whilst these usurpations were in full
blast in this city. So far had he carried
his protest and opposition to these illegal
and unconstitutional assumptions of pow
er, that at one time in the Provost Mar
shal'S Court lawyer of large practice
then he said to him, "why Rozier, if you
60 on in this way you will break up our
most profitable business"
After hearing the argument on the
law and facts of the case, Judge Leau-
mont rendered his decision Immediately
deciding that the money was illegally ex-
torted from Mr.. Pile and rendering judg-
ment against the General. 1t is proper
to add that both the lawyer, who prose-
culed, and the judge who decided the
case, were gentlemen who have always
been union men and who adhered to the
Federal cause throughout the war.

The TIDE WATER CANAL TRApE.-Durine the
past week, the Philadelphia Tow Boat Co. have
taken from the Canal thirty-two boats, twenty
one of which were loaded with coal for Delaware
City; the balance were freighted with lumber,
slate, ground bark, &C.; and for the same week
the Baltimore Towing Company towed from
Havre de Grace fifty-one boats, all for Baltimore
city, and loaded as follows; thirty-one with
coal, seven with lumber, eight with ice, three
with grain, and two without any freight.
The steamer Juniata commenced her regular
trips on Saturday last, and, with the Lancaster,
forms regular daily line between Havre de
Grace and Baltimore city, with the exception of
Sunday, when neither boat runs. These are
strong and comfortable boats, built expressly for
this trade but few years ago, have experienced
commanders, and are regarded as very safe.

CoNaREss.-Mr. Prentice says, in the
Louisville Journal, that the Democrats
didn't quite annihilate radicalism in the
late Connecticut election, but they knock
ed its eye teeth out. So it can never
save itself "by the skin of its teeth" 1t
is also argued that the country is now in
danger from the National Legislature.
Indeed, it denounces its voice as "some-
times more the voice of the Devil than
the voice of God, and its inspiration from
below rather than from above" The
present Congress, it will thus be seen,
has lost the respect of many who called it
into existence and contributed to gave it
power.

THE FRUT.-Much of the fruit in this county
has been seriously injured by the heavy frosts Of
last week. The peach crop is regarded by many
persons as entirely destroyed, while all other
fruit will fall far short of fair yield. In some
localities, fruit trees injured by the winter,
and in others young trees, particularly the peach,
were entirely killed. Peaches in this county are
at best an uncertain crop, but this year is re-
garded by judges as total failure in most parts
of the county.
