A TREAT FROM THE FAIR.-With CRATE
ful hearts and all good wishes, we acknow
ledge the receipt of tray of all sorts OF
nice things from the good ladies ofthe Monu-
mental Fair yesterday morning. We will
have visions of glasses OF sparkling, bouncing
Jelly, dishes Of fine sliced ham and tongue,
and plates Of delicious fruit, pound and jelly
cake, for months to come. We will never
be SOurcd, even in the most gloomy mo-
ments, by thinking of the excellent pickle
sent us we will rather, like Oliver Twist,
long for "morc." First, and above all
though, we will remember the kind ladies
who favored us with these dclicacies.
While we dream of the good things made
by their hands, our waking thoughts VIII
be with them. With deep gratitude to-
wards them for what they did for us, as
well as for thousands Of others, during the
Sickening and wcarying scenes OF the late
war, and with great admiration for their
daily deeds of piety and love in our pre-
sent trying situation, we do not think we
can ever forget them. We will ever be
ready to show them that we appreciate
them and their noble efforts by doing all
that we can for them. The Monumental
Church Fair has been opened i'll the fine
building opposite the post-oilicc, and all
goes well. The Fair has thus far been
crowded each night, the beauty and pride
of the city being in good proportion. If
they continue-aS doubtless they will

OuTRAGE.-On Friday last, some one

Richmond and Fredericksburg railroad be-

hundred dollars for the conviction of the
person who placed the obstruction on the

must be the most diabolical if its author

one who is guilty of this crime. 1t en-

is derived-to the author who shall contemplate
the struggle from Northern standpoint. 1t does

HORRIBLE REVELATIONS OF LIFE BEFORE THE MAST


sUFFERNGs OF THE CREW OF THE SHIP CrLTIyA-


TOR


The crew of the ship Cultivator, of the Black
Star line, Captain Russell, which lately arrived at
this port from Liverpool reveal tale of horror al
most unparalleled According to the statement of
some of the seamen of this vessel, from the time
she weighed anchor on the 22d of March last un-
til the 10th Of this month, when she reached New
York, the crew were objected to the most brutal
kinds of treatment. The chief perpetrator of the
outrages inflicted on the unfortunate seamen was
the first mate, Munson, the captain encouraging
this cruelty and seeming to enjoy it. On the very
first day of the voyage, while i'll the Mersey, the
mate knocked man out of the rigging. He fell
on the deck breaking several of his ribs and was
then sent ashore, thus escaping further harm On
the same day another man was knocked off the
yardarm with handspike by Munson but he
fortunately saved himself by catchinga rope as he
fell


Another poor wretch Was knocked down AMI
stamped upon 80 horribly that upon recovering
his senses he bade his comrades farewell and de.
liberately threw himself overheard. Such was
the commencement of a voyage which lasted more
than fifty days. Every day some man was knocked
down and stunned with marling spike or cap
Munson would stand by and knock the first man
down who gave signs of weariness, and urge the
others to redoubled exertions by liberal blows

We published, in our last, an extract that is 60
ing the rounds of the Radical press, to the effect
that Ex-Provisional Governor Holden had written
letter to Senator of the United States, stating
that such was the condition of public feeling in
North Carolina, that unless protection was soon
afforded, the State would be depopulated of its
Union citizens. We made enquiry of the Standard
as to the genuineness of the extract.


Without waiting for reply from that paper
which we shall probably never get-the question
is answered by the following statement in late
number of the Alexandria Journal, malignant
Radical journal, which out Herods Forneys C5ron-
Gle in its male, olence towards the South:


eve were yesterday shown letter from Gov Holden of
North Carolina addressed to distinguished member of
the United States The Governor states that hun
pfoeeon IS
afforded them by the government every loyal yet
naming in the State will be compelled to leave he among
the rest


This statement is both untrue and mischievous
It embodies libel upon the people of the State,
which is calculated to do them great injury, and
to obstruct the reconstruction policy of President
Johnson. The inference is sought to be made
that hundreds of "loyal" men are leaving the
persecute maiorties, and, therefore, the further
inference is studiously sought to be created that
there are but .fev "loyal - men in the State,-and
that these few, including the immaculate author
of the letter himself, will be constrained or COM
PEELED to eXpatrate themselves, unless speedy pro-
lection is guaranteed


Protection ?! What kind of protection p
Obviously, the Ex-Governor means one of two
sorts Either increase of military force, as the
present is implicitly insufficient to afford 'protec-
ton y or else the adoption of the Radical plan OF
disfranchising the overwhelming majority of our
felowcitizens, in order to put power in the hands
of the so-called =" loyal few


| We denounce the statement contained in this
letter as most wanton and unwarranted imputa-
tion upon the character and integrity Of peo-
pie, and We invoke upon it their indignant re-
buke.


Doubtless number of our citizens, under the
pressure of peeuniary necessity have left i'm
poverished State to seek in other latitudes the
means of supporting themselves and families. We
assert that man has been compelled to leave on
account of political persecution. If any have gone
abroad, seeking to make such an impression, they
can undoubtedly be classed under the head Of

flesh of many of the crew One sailor was selected
as the particular object of his fendishness. He
was laid upon the deck and twelve of the crew
deputed to beat him with straps, ropes and sticks,
under threats of similar punishment for them
selves if they refused Most of those atrocities
were committed by the mate, but in presence of
the captain, who seemed to enjoy it as pastime.
If any of the wretches complained to him he
drove them from his presence with blows and
curses. Men were kicked while at the wheel
One had his teeth knocked out by marling spike ;
another was knocked down regularly every day
with an iron crowbar some other weapon, and
numberless other outrages were committed during
the voyage Of fifty days. When the men arrived
in port they were covered with bruises cuts and
scars from head to foot, and looked more like vet
Grams from the war than the seamen of mer-
chairman. Such was the tale of horror revealed
by the crew of the Cultivator. On their arrival
at this port complaint at once made to the
United States District Attorney, but the mate had
left the vessel and could not be found. The cap
tain, however, has been arrested and held to bail
on the complaint of Durkin, a seaman On shore

purpose Of catching the thief who had been

his hand in one ifhe felt inclined to do so.

The question, who was respon-
sible for the war? is of great i'm
portance in this view: The Rad
icals claim that they are entitled to
reconstruct the Government be-
cause they had the power to car
ry on the war and did so; and
that every body else should stand
aside for them.


To this we answer: that aboli-
ton agitators, legislation and in
reference with slavery and insti-
tutions of the South created and
caused secession-which led to a
war between the North and the
South; that our present condition
indicates the great danger of Rad
ical rule, threatening a second civ
il war-and that the party which
gave rise to one war and promises
us anotherstill more fearful, should
be hurled from power, and never
again trusted with the reins of
Government.
