The CoLoRED SENAToR.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the journal OF COM
merce " writes as follows:
Hon. Hiram K. Revels is a very light
mulatto, fully three-fourths white, yet with
distinctive African features, the owe part
of the face vigorous without being heavy.
He has short g~rizzled hair, which, if permitted
to grow, would certainly be kinky, while his
brown beard, slightly gray, might pass for a
white mans. His face has a business eX-
preston, rather commercial. He has a cool
steady expression. His perceptives are full,
and he has a clear penetrating eye, subdued
to correspond with his novel position as the
solitary representative mar of color. he
has a decidedly Caucasian nose, straight,
prominent, but not fiat. The most Ethiopian
feature which he possesses is his mouth.
This is usually shut close and firm, so that
the large lips are not very prominent. He
has an amiable expression. is not presuming,
and seems to wish sincerely, as the pioneer
OF his race, to make a good impression. He
dresses plainly and tastefully in black, with
out other ornament than a chain tipped with
gold, and uses a plain pair of Eyeglasses.
He is in the prime of life, forty-seven years
of age, heavy set, weighing about one hun
dred and eighty pounds.
He appears to be a man Of good mental
culture and balanced judgment, not disposed
to push himself forward unless in case of
real necessity, and where he would probably
exert an influence that would be felt. He
has already been active in the educational
interests of the South, and spoke at length
two days ago on behalf of the poor of both
races in Mississippi in the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor, of which he is a
member. Members of the committee are
unanimous in their appreciation of the speech.
Revels was IN the border and Northern
States till 1864, when he went to Mississippi,
established himself as a Methodist minister,
and was elected, as is well known, TO the
United States Senate.

Hauti-capture and Execution Of salnave.

From the special correspondence OF the
L. Colonial Standard" Kingston, Jamaica,
we take the following particulars OF the cap
ture and execution of Salnave. The letter
is dated Port-au-Prince, January 10, 1870:
The great event of the week has been the
capture of Salnave last Tuesday, about 60
miles from this, by his enemy Cabral, who
delivered him to this government. He was
wounded in the left hand and then surren-
dered.
This morning he was brought in to the
town on horseback, all the citizens being
compelled TO appear and join in the process
sion. From the portal, at the entrance OF
the Grand Rue, he was marched through
the town with about 5000 troops and armed
citizens, and conducted to the Court House
near the prison, and there tried by a military
tribunal presided over by Gen. Lorquet.
Salnave sat near TO the public prosecutor
and was defended by two advocates. The
trial lasted about three hours. The judges
retired for about half an hour TO consider
their verdict, and Gen. Lorquet delivered
the sentence of death, for Salnave's having
endeavored to destroy the constitution, and
for firing and destroying the town. Gen.
Lorquet in q few words encouraged the
prisoner to meet his death with frmuess and
courage, anu gave uiTectIons DIT 0alhd'e
wish, for paper and writing material to be
given to him to make disposition of his
affairs. After a lapse of twenty minutes or
half an hour Salnave was marched round
the portion of the city which had suffered
in the recent bombardment, and was led to
the site of the palace, and there bound to a
tree. Two priests had a short interview
with him, after which Gen. Canal made a
short speech to the assembled multitude,
telling them, there was the Salnave, and
that it was a solemn warning to any of them
not TO endeavor to overthrow the constitution
Of Hayti. Canal then descended the steps
and at the word of command, the firing
party discharged ten or twelve shots-Sal-
nave fell at the third shot, but was not dead
until he was cut down, and a soldier or
General fired another shot at him.

DIAMOND MINING IN observation-disclosures
mining is now quite a settled industry In
Australia. The Melbourne Argus - of the
Sd of January, just to hand reports as follows:
About the middle of December, another
very fine lot of 12l diamonds from the
ground Of the NUDGE Gold and Diamond
Company were received by the manager,
Mr.. w. M. Tuckett, through the Bank of
Victoria. One beautiful stone weighed %
carats. In order to extend their operations,
the company have purchased a steam engine.
Since the departure of last mail, the
Australian Diamond-mines Company have
been steadily pushing on their works, and
nave obtained with one machine I'll dia-
monds and 3Soz. of gold. The yield of gold
has more than paid the working expenses
during the month. The I'll diamonds will
be sent to the company's agent in London
by the outgoing mail. This parcel will
make the total quantity sent to England 759
stones. Two of the company's machines
have been idle, owing to the breakage of
copper sleeves, but they will be at work again
in about a weeks time.
The s~ix-carat diamond found in the Aus
tralian Diamond Companv's ground, and
sent to Europe to be cut, was returned to
Melbourne by the last mail. 1t was cut
Down to a diamond of 33-16 carats, and is
an exquisite specimen of brilliancy and
purity. IT possesses an exceptional value as
the first large sized Australian gem discov-
cred, and is highly praised by the lapidaries
through whose hands it has passed.
A sale Of Australian diamonds found by
the Nudge Company took place on the 9th
OF December, at the Shipping Exchange,
Collins street west. There was a good
attendance, and some of the stones (of which
there were eighty-one offeredJ realized very
satisfactory prices, the sums received ranging
from go Is. to Gl0 los. per stone. This is
the first sale of the kind that has taken place
here but as the supply of gems bids fair to
be pretty constant, it is probable that the
sales will now be periodical.

one Of the greatest maritime nations of the

l quite agree with the idea that the object
of all law is not vengeance-but Justice;
that punishments are inflicted, not that pain
NAV be caused, but that wrongs, through
fear of punishment, may be prevented. |

as it may be done, throw the mantle of
charity over all that it can be made con-
scientiously to cover; but 1 would that inter-
national law-that bond of union of all
nations, that has no origin but common
consent and common custom that has no
common arbiter; that is, in fact, but a great
national moral code-may not be made
powerIess to punish crimes and prevent
wrongs of a nature such as this which, if
allowed, are liable at any time again to
spread desolation and misery in numberless
houses, besides seriously involving the ami
cable relations of Governments themselves.
With these hastily expressed views; with
argument of evidence or weighing of
disputed facts, to a Brisish tribune and to
British Justice | submit this cause for judg-
ment.
