MR. LINCOLN ON THE CAPTURE OF
MASON AND SLIDELI.

A correspondent communicates to the
New York Commercial AdUertiser
the following incident
An incident in the. life of President
Lincoln is worthy to be recorded, as
showing his high sense of honor and JUS
tice. On the day that intelligence
reached Washington of the taking of
Mason and Slidell from the English
Trent, the writer called at the White
House to introduce two English friends
who had been with him on a short trip
through the Western and Southwestern
States, and who were DESTROYS Of an in-
PRODUCTION to the Chief Magistrate of the
nation before their return, by way of
Washington, to New York, whence they
designed to ship for England. 1t was on
Saturday, about 800 P. NJ, when after
waiting for short time, in consequence
Of the President being engaged, we sue
ceeded in obtaining an interview. Upon
my apologizing for trespassing after
the usual hour for receptions, he re-
piled "Not at all, my good sir, | am
very happy to see you and your
friends" accompanied by his usual warm
grasp Of the hand. After few observa~
tons in reference to the Western country,
hoping my friends had derived much
qualification from their tour. etc, the
President said IL presume, gentlemen,
you have heard of our taking Mason and
Slidell from the English steamer Trent
(the intelligence of which had reached
him only few hours before) Your
friends on the other side Of the water
will not like this' After a pause "Well,
suppose we shall have to give them
up" adding, with evident glee, "but in
the mean time we will take good care of
them" Thus, with a high sense of
honor and international law he deter
mined his course of conduct the moment
the occurrence took place, and when we
consider the cutlery Of the press gener>
ally as to what was to be done in the
premises, accompanied by such exclama-
tons as "Givo them up-never b his
action in this matter reflects another in
stance of his absolute honesty Of puro
pose and high sense Of honor.

INDIANA HORRORS.
Another FrIghtCaI History of Crime
and BIOOdshed,

From the New Albany Commercial Dec. %.
1t seems that Jackson county is not
alone the resort and headquarters Of
gangs Of robbers and murderers. Ben
ton county is equally notorious for the
crimes committed Of late years by gang
Of cut-throats, having their headquarters
in Pine township, near Rainesville. A
gentleman writing from Rainesville, Dec.
"a, gives the following account Of the
doings and tragic death of the chief of this
gang of robbers and murderers and his
family, and some other items Of interest.
He says
A few days before we got out to the
Ridge, some men went to the house of a
man named Shafer and shot him, killing
him instantly. lie was very bad man,
harboring horse thieves and stealing for
q living.
Several years ago some men traced
horse thief to his cabin. They inquired
of this man Shafer if the thief had been
there, and were told that he had not, but
one of his little girls said the thief had
been there. So the pursuit was con-
tinued and the thief caught. Shafer and
his wife then took their little girl out in
to a huckleberry patch and cut her
throat for telling about the thief Shortly
after this it was found out that Shafer
was sheltering thieves and murderers,
and he was sent to the State prison for
one year. While there his wife took sick
with fever. During her delirium she would
say, ooh, how the little thing screams ~
The murder Of her little daughter was
working on her mind. She never re-
covered, bu. passed to her final and terri
BILE account. After her death her hus-
band came back, lived alone, and carried
on the same as before. So three men
concluded to put him out Of the way.
They went to his cabin one evening with
a well-loaded shot. gun. The old fellow
was getting his supper, when one of them
shot him " the back with twenty-five
swan shot. The next day man went
to his cabin and found him dead. Since
this three more OF the same stripe have
left for fear they would be served in the

TuEALABAMA CLAIMS.
What Congress will Demand Of Eng
land, and What COneede.


Correspondence ofIhe New York Post
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Since it has
become known that the negotiation for
the settlement Of the Alabama claims has
been received, your correspondent has
endeavored to ascertain the kind Of
agreement which would be ratified b.
the Senate if sent to it by the President.
Many prominent Senators, including
members Of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, have had an interchange of
opinion on this subject, and after care
full survey it is found that the following
draft contains all the concessions to Eng
land which would stand any chance Of
being considered or ratified by the Sens
ate:
First-The British government must
admit its pecuniary liability for the de-
predatiOns Of the Alabama, Shenandoah,
Florida and Sumter, and agree to pay an
amount of money which shall be deter
mined by commission to be hereafter
appointed.
Second-A commission Of four mems
bers shall be agreed upon, each nation
appointing two, and these jointly select
ing an umpire.
Third-This commission shall adjust
all claims presented to them by Ameri-
can citizens which arose out Of the depFe-
dations committed by any Of the above
named privateers, and shall investigate
each case and decide what amount OF
meney is due for said claims.
Fourth-After this class Of claims are
settled the commission shall pass upon
all other classes Of claims by American
citizens against England from 1858 up to
the present time.
The commission will likewise consider
all claims of British subjects against the
United States in the following class OF
cases
First-All cases presented by British
subjects residing permanently in the
United States.
Second-All cases in which the claim
ant is unable to show that he remained
neutral during the late war
Third-Those cases decided finally by
admiralty courts.
The above draft contains the largest
concessions which those Senators who
have studied the question thoroughly are
willing to make and anything which
falls short has bat little chance Of Tatif-
cation by the Senate
1t has not been asceTtained whether or
not this draft differs materially from Mr..
Stewards views.

CHANGES INTHIRrEEN YEARS.

In 1855, Mr. buchanan was Minister
to England. Captain George Il. McClel-
Ian was detailed on secret service in the
harbor Of Cuba, under Instructions from
the Secretary of War Gen. Quitman,
Lieutenant Beauregard and others were
plotting iilibustering raids against the
Island, for which the government soon
after made an offer of $lOO,00O,OOO. Par
son BroWnlow had written a savage work
in defense Of slavery, and was challeng-
ing Northern clergymen to dispute its
divine authority. Gerr.ts Smith, DR.
Howe, Henry Ward Beecher, and few

railway. John Brown had not yet left
his farm in the Northern wild An OBJ

with Mr.. Dayton, the nominee Capt U.

ex-army officer by those who bought
molasses or cord wood of him, was gem
orally taken for a steamboat captain,
temporarily stranded by a stress of i'll,
luck, or who hardly had the energy and
pluck to succeed in any business calling,
and, therefore, collapsed into a speculator
in sundries. W. Il. Sherman was teach

and Logan were rough-and tumble Dem,

officers of our little army were Col Albert

We regret to learn, Gays the Knoxville
Press and Herald of Tuesday, that on Sun
day night last Christmas revel was
brought to a tragic conclusion at Noisy
Creek. Mr.. Robert Blevins, of Hawkins
county-being on a visit to his relatives at
Mosey Creek-Mr VIM. Nolan, an en-
ployee of Mr. Jno. +. Branuer, and others
Of their acquaintance, on Saturday had
been INDUCING in the festivities of the
season together. During the day, some
time, Nolan became highly incensed at
young Blevins, for supposed intentional
hurt he had inflicted upon him and
made repeated threats that he would be
avenged. He was armed with pistol and
sought on Saturday eveningto bring about a
difficulty, but was avoided by Bevins. On
Sunday, however, as Blevins was preparing
to take the train TO return home, he was
intercepted by Nolan, who had his pistol
in his hand. Firing at once commenced,
but by whom begun our informant could
not tell. Two of Blevins shots took effect
in Nolan's breast and one in his stomach.
The wounded man attempted to gain the
hotel near by, but fell. He was carried
into the house and the balls were ex
tracted. His wounds, We learn, were pro
nOunced mortal. Blevins escaped uuhurt.
The parties, We learn, had3previously been
good friends.

RELATIONS BY MARRIAGE.

A great many complex relationships
come about by marriage. We have
heard of the mother and daughter who
married brothers, and who therefore ad-
dressed each other as sisters and also of
the young man who, on being asked by
the Judge whether he had q father and
mother, said he wasn't quite certain
whether he had or not first, his father
died and then his mother married again,
and then his mother died and his father
married again, and now he didn't know
exactly whether they were his father
and mother or not. But Dan Bryant, at
the minstrels, tells of the most complex
family ever known, something in this
wise: "a married a young widow who
lived with her step-daughter. My wife
was therefore the mOtherin-law and
daughter~in.law of my father. am the
step. father of my mOther-in-law, and my
wife's step-daughter is my step-mother.
Well, my step-mother-that is to say,
my fathers wife and my wife daughter
had a son. He is my step brother, of
course, but being the son of my wife =
step-daughter, my wife is, of course,
his grandmother, and am his grand
father as well as his step"brother. My
wife also has a boy. My step-mother is
consequently the step~sister of my boy
and also his grandmother, because he is
the child Of her step son, and my father

EXTRAORDINARY RECOVERY OF SPEECH.
A physician sends the following to the
Dundee Scotland Advertiser: "a
man aged forty years, named David Con,
facher, who had been deaf and dumb for
more than thirty-five years, was seized
for the third time with paralysis. From
the first there was no hope of his recovs
cry, and he died twenty>four hours after
his seizure. Nearly ten minutes before
his death he rose up in his bed, and dis
tinctly said, clear and plainly: oh, Mary,
Mary, Maryn Yon may imagine the
effect the words produced on those sit
ting in the room hearing one speak who
had been so long mute-his sister fain
ted outright, and others were panic
stricken at the unusual occurrence.
Then he became unconscious and died"
