there are sixteen public schools, six Catholic

sugar tobacco and hides to the value OF many mil
lions Of dollars for want Of means OF expectation.
Large deposits OF guano have been discovered at
Naiusa and Cubtas. The tannertcs OF the army
turn out about 1850 hides monthly. The shoe fac
tories furnish 5000 pair OF shoes per week. Ma
chetcs and lances are manufactured IN the armories
aud Old guns are converted to the Remington ByS-
tenn. One powder mill turns out two arrObas per
day about ffty pounds) and the others are not yet
in working order. The laboratory furnishes daily
1900 percussion caps and 900 capsules.
The rati0ns OF the troops consist OF beer or pork
two pounds; rice, pantalns, bonlatas, or yucas
at discretion; sugar, four ounces; aguardiente TWO
ounces; coffee or equivalent two cups; cigars two;
cigarettes for 0fcersl ten. In the Central Depart.
ment there are numerous plantations at work for
account OF the State, and the crops OF tobacco,
coffee rice, corn. &C., are as abundant as IN times
OF peace.

Horrible Atrocities the West COast-The
'tNnn and Brother" at the Fountain Head
of the Race-The Warrior Chief Yellow and
His Prisoners.
From the Liverpool Post Feb. 22.f
A gentleman who has Just arrived here by the
the screw steamer Macgregor Laird, from the West
Coast OF Africa, has furnished with the particu
lars OF a series Of almost unparalleled atrocities
which nave lately been perpeua:ed there and which
seem to be but too common and OF every day occur
renee in that benighted country. He Says
In New Calabar river about the beginning OF last
month 1t was observed from the shipping that some
thing unusual was going on IN small hainIet called
the war song with its heathenIs musical ~ accom-.
paniments, were anything bur pleasing to European
ears. ON inquiry ~ was found that a native chief,
named yellow, had the day previously succeeded IN
capturing two women belonging 10 the Ecreeka
Tribe, between whom and the Caiabar men q savage
leud has existed for years. In honor OF this
martial achievement "grand piayn was being held.
IL turned out tnat the younger OF the Two cap
morning been killed, cooked. aud was then In the
course OF beng chopped or eaten DY this monsters
Yellow and his savage co,Jreres. The other captive
was IN irons and was to form the subject OF uture
feast. Strange as II may seem, while these occur
rences were taking place OF her MaJesty's gum
the .'saucy ensign dying AT peak. This unIns-
rakably shows the little influence we have over the
bioodfnirsty and cannibaiistic predictions OF the
African. At Whydan, the seaport capital OF Daho-
mey's kingdom, where the steamer renamed for
several hours, our informant learned tnat Euro
pean who WAS engaged in trade there had just been
subjected to most cruel punishment. DahOmey
through his bo0dthrsy satellites tand their name ia
legionl had 'spottedn this young gentleman, who
WAS perfectly unaware Of having given offence TO
merit any punishment whatever. Dahomey, however,
refused to enlighten him on the subject and had him
taken 70 ADOmey, where ne caused the poor fellow
to be stripped to his singlet and tr0wsers. The
sleeves OF the former were rolled up above his elbows
aud hs trowsers above his knees. He was then tied
to stake and exposed the ferce burning rays OF
a mld day tropical sun for several hours. He mas
had to submit TO the indignlty and can hope for
redress as her Britannia Maestys eev on that
Is said TO be for the sole ana exclusive purpose OF
putting down q practice which happily, however,
has no existence, VIZ, the slave trade.
The Fantees are greatly enraged by the actions Of
a certain Ashantee chief named Achamp0nR during
MS march from Appalonla to Ecreeka. During the
march ne Killed twelve OF the Fanee tribe and had
them butchered In the customary Ashantee manner,
which IS too horrible even to describe.
The Dutch have left Commendra IN consequence OF
want Of water, but not before they burnt the VII
lage. During the light between the Dutch and the
villagers the former lost three marines and had
about twenty wounded. The roads between Com
HieHdra ana the coast, distance OF seven miles,
nave been closed about two years.
