The Whipping Post.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press thus details one of those terrible
scenes which disgraces the little State of
Delaware !:
The Sheriff came out of the Jail, follow
ed by the keeper, who was leading stout
ly built colored man, who had coat
thrown loosely over his shoulders. The
crowd made gap, and the prisoner was
taken to the post and his hands fastened in
a pair of iron cuffs above his head The
spectators laughed and brutally comment
ed upon the unfortunate wretch. The
coat was taken off, and he stood shivering
and trembling in the intense cold, and di-
rectly in the path of the wind-current from
the gate. The Sheriff grasped the whip in
his right hand, the keeper stood off to the
left and folded his arms; the lash was rails
ed and brought down with considerable
force across the shoulders of the victim,
while the keeper Tailed the strokes in a
heavy, sonorous voice. - G..-
The man trembled, and sharp cry Of
pain escaped from his lips. The lash had
left its mark in several white welts, which
quickly filled with blood. The spectators
pushed to obtain position so as to see the
naked back, while the blows fell with reg
ular time upon the poor wretch's flesh.
The pain seemed to be growing intense,
for the man f1inched and bent his body in
and out as if each thong as it fell upon
him cut like knife. The twentieth
stroke, which was the last, was reached
the keeper cried out "all up,n and the
wretch was unloosened; he picked up his
coat and threw it upon his back, and walk
ed off into the Jail to spend year in a
cell, while the crowd sent behind him a
brutal laugh, and complimented the Sher-
if upon the decent way in which he had
done it. --

THE BOARD OF TRADE LECTURES.
The First of The Conrse Delivered Las
<ItfAf Might. u 4

.FJttif Night. u II
The first of the series of lectures an
nounced by the Board of Trade was deliv-
cred last night at the Trade Rooms, by A.
J. Kicks, Esq. III
Subject: The Camp, the March, the Bat
tlefield. ~ EET a s. q "a
The lecturer stated at the outset that,
though under new title, his lecture was
an old one, prepared some six years ago
and delivered before the Literary Societies
of the East Tennessee University. His
object he said was to contrast the expe-
riences of war as they actually occur with
that ideal picture of army life that most
persons entertain from youth to maturer
years. After some observations as to the
manner in which false notions of the
soldiers life were encouraged in histories
and pictorial representations of battlefields,
he began his picture of the real life of the
soldier. He gave full explanation of the
organization of armies in the field, some
interesting figures as to the immense trains
needed for army operations, of the vast
stores consumed by men and animals and
of the cumbersome nature of the armies
movements. He gave full detail OF the
work Of the General in command of
armies, Of the way their plans were matur-
ed and the intimate relations
of the plan and preparations to their
result He effectually dispelled the idea
of chance entering so largely into the re.
suits of battles as many seem to think and
showed from history many instances OF
victory following plans matured long be-
fore the actual struggle began. He gave
some interesting facts connected with the
late Franco Prusian war, and with the At
lanta campaign Of Sherman and Johnston,
as showing the absurdities of many of the
popular ideas of battle. His facts were in
terspersed with some humorous anecdotes
of camp life, illustrating the proverbial
wit of the soldier. He closed with some
illusions to the fearful war ornaments of
Europe and the great wrong such belliger-
ent demonstrations inflicted upon the
masses of the people. Referring to the re-
cent peaceful Arbitration at Geneva he
hoped the time would soon come when
such settlement of national differences
would end the terrible strife of the battle
fold

The Horse Disease.

While the horse disease is ravaging tho.
sas,les and disabling tens of thousands of
hsrses and throwing commerce and travel
Into utter confusion. we hear OF no. instance
where it has attacked mules, and these pa.
tient and admirable beasts of burden must
come into general use until su< n time as the
supply of horses can be increased. The ef--
feet upon the price of mules must be. instan-
tanfanrons. and will give vaIus.and demand
foi mules that will run mp the price to the,
highest point reached during the war. Mules
nave been ut the very lowest price at which,
they could be produced during the summer
and tall, and we expect to see them shoot npe
to very high figure. A gentleman upon.
whose statement perfect reliance can be
placed, has just returned frem the East, tells
rs that mules have escaped the horse disease
entirely. and such being tile CASE, they must
replace the thousands Of horses that lave.

bring All active competition from anexpectefz
quarter against the Southern demand, and
prices to an nnwoited degree.
