The Satanic Party in Amo-i. an Politics, &., &., &. ‘From the New York Tribune, March 9.) | AMERICAN CIVILIZATION 1LLUSTRATED—A GREAT BLAVE AUCTION—400 MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN | BOLD—MR, PIERCE M. BUTLER CHANGING ball IN- VESTMENTS—SOENES AT THE SALE—HUMAN FEEL INGS OF NO ACCOUNT—MR. BUTLER GIVES BACH LAR. ‘The largest saleof human chattels that has been made | in star-spangled America for several years took place on ‘Wednesday and Thursday of last week, at the race course near the city of Savannah, Georgia. The lot consisted of four hundred and thirty-six men, women, children and in- fants, being that half of (he negro stock remaining on the ‘old Major Butler plantations which fell to one of the two heirs to thatestate. Major Butler dying, loft a property ‘valued at more than a million of dollars, the major part ‘of which was invested in rice and cotton plantations and the slaves thereon, all of which immense fortune descend- ed to two beirs, his sons—Mr. Johu A. Butler, some time deceased, and Mr. Pierce M. Butler, still living, and resi- dent in the city of Philadelphia, in the free S are of Feeee lvyapia. Losses in the grand crash of 185 CXigencies of business, ave impelled tho latter gontlo- man to realize on his Southern investments that he may satisfy suadry pressing creditors, and be enabled to resume business with the surplus, ifany. This neces. sity led to a partition of the negro stock on the Georgia Plantations between himself aad the representative of the other heir, the widow of the late John A. Butler, and the negrocs that were brought io the bammer last weak were the property of Mr. Pierce M. Butler, of Philadelphia, and wort, i fact, sold to pay Mr. Pierce M. Butier’s debis, The creditors were represented by Gen. Cadwallader, while Mr. Butler was prosent. in person, Attended by his Dusinegs agent, to attend to his own interests. + The sale had been advertised largely for many woeks, and as the negroes were known to be a choice lovand very desirable property, the attendance of buyers was large. ‘The breaking up of an old family estate is so uncommon an occurrence that the affair was Tegarded with unusual interest threvgbout the South. For se- veral days before the sale every hovel in Sa- vannab was crowded with negro ‘speculators from North and South Carolina, Virgioia, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, who had been attracted hither by the pros- pects of ‘making good bargains. Nothing was heard for days in the barrooms and public rooms but talk of the great sale, criticisms of the business affairs of Mr, Butler, and speculations as to the probable prices the stock would bring, The office of Joseph Bryan, the negro broker who had the mapagement of the sale, was thronged every day by eager inquirers in search of information, and by some who were anxious to buy, but were uocertain as to whe- ther their securities would prove acceptable. Little par- ties were made up from the various hotels every day to visit the race course, distant some three miles from the city, to look over the chattels, discuas their points, and make memoranda for guidance on the day of gale.’ Tac buyers were generally of arough breed, slangy, profane and bearish, being for the most part from the back river and swamp plantations, where the elegancies of polite life arg not perhaps developedto their fullest extent. In fact, the humanities are sadly neglected by the petty tyrants of the rive fields that borcer the great Dismal Swamp, their knowledge of the luxuries of our best society comprehend- ing only revolvers and kindred delicacies, Your correspondent was present at an early date, but as he easily abticipated the toucbing welcome that would at such a time be ofliciously extended to a representative of the Tribune, and being a modest man withal and not desiring to be the recipient of a public demonstration from the enthusiastic Southern population—who at times overdo their hospitality and their guests—he did not pla- card his mission aud claim his honors. Although he kept his business in the background he made himself a promi nent figure in the picture, and wherever there was any. thing going on there was he in the midst. At the sale might bave been seen a busy individual, armed with pen cil and catalogue, doing his little utmost to keep up all the appearances of a knowing buyer pricing “likely nig ger fellers,”” talking confidentially to the smartest ebon Maids, chucking the round eyed youngsters uuder tho chin, taking an occasionel bid for a large family (a low Did, so low that somebody always iustautly raised him $26, when the busy man Would ignomiviously retreat), and otherwise conducting himse‘f like # rich planter, with forty thousand dollars where he couli put his finger’on it, ‘This gentleman was much condoled with by some sym- pathizing persone, when the particularly fine lot on wach e had fixed his critical eye was sold aad lost to him forever, because he happen: just at the interesting moment. WHERE THE NEGROES CAME FROM. The negroes came from two'piantations—the one a rich antation, near Darien, in the State of Georgia, uot far m the great Okefonokee swamp, and the other a cotton Plantation on the extreme northern point of St. Simon's Island, a little bit of an island in the Atlantic, cut off from nder arm of the sea.

The chil- dren were of all sizes, the youngest being fifween days old. The babies were generally ‘good natured, though when one wouid set up a yell the complaint soon altacked the others, and a full chorus would be the result. A young negro baby looks like an animated bit of India rubber and bas wonderful powers of suction. They were rey prevalent in the long show room where the stock was all congregated the day Of the gale, and those that were old enough to have de- fined ideas of locomotion were perpetuaily crawling away from their mothers, and getting under the feet of visiters. They bave a passion for climbing ,and made strevuous ex- ertions to scale the legs of people who dida’t belong to them; if 9 man stood still for a minute, he was certain to have a baby hanging to each leg, like a crab, They didn’t object to being knocked down and rolled over. or being pitched across the room, or any trifle of that sort; but it seemed to disconcert them to step on their flogers. The slaves remained at the race course, some of them for more than a week, and all of them for four days be- fore the sale. They were brought in thus early that buy- ers who desired 10 inspect them might enjoy that privi- lege, although none of them were sold at private sale. For these prelimmary days their shed was constant! visited by speeulators. The negroes were examined wit! as little consideration as it they had been brutes indeed; the buyers pulling their mouths open to see their teeth, pinching their limbs to find how maus- cular they were, walking them up and down to detect apy signs of lameness, making them stoop wnd bead in different ways that they might be certain there was no concealed rupture or wound; and in addition to all this treatment, asking them scores of questions relative to their qualifications and accomplisnments. All these hu- miliations were submitted to without a murmur, aud in Some snstances with good natured cheerfulness—where the slave liked the appearance of the proposed buyer, and fancied that be might prove a kind mas’r.”? The following curiously sad scene is the type of a score of others that were there enacted:— “Flisha,’’ chattel No. 5 in the catalogue, had taken a fancy to a benevolent looking middie age? gentleman, wito was inspecting the stock, and thus used bis powers of persuasion to intuce the benevolent man to purcl him, with his wife, boy and girl, Molly, Israel Sevanda, chattels Nos. 6, 7 aud 8. The earnestness with which the poor fellow preased bis suit, know- ing, as be did, that perhaps the happiness’ of his whole life depended on bis success, was interesting, and the arguments he used were uost pathetic. He made no appeal to the feelings of bis buyer; Le rested no hope on his charity aud kinduess, but ouly strove to show how well worth his’ dollars were the bone and blood he was cutreating him to buy. “Took at me, mas’r; am prime rice planter; sho’ you won't find a better man den me; no better on de whole plantation; not a bit oid yet; do mo’ work den ever; de carpenter work, t00, little; better buy me, mas’r; I’se be good sarvant, mas’r.

Those gentry, with quiet step and eubdued voice, moved carefully about among the live stock, ignoring, as a gouoral rule, the men, but tormenting the women with ques- tions which, when accidentally overheard by tho disin terested spectator, bred in that spectator’s mind an almost irresistible desire to knock someboly down. And then, all imaginable varicties of rough backwoods rowdies, who began the day in a dispirited manner, but who, as its hours progressed, and their practice at the bar became more prolific in results, waxed louder and talkier aud more violent, were present, and added a characteristic feature to the assemblage. Those of our readers who hgve read “Uncle Tom’’—av! who has not?—will remember, with peculiar feelings, Legree, the slave driver and woman whipper. Tat that character is not overdrawn or too highly colored there is abundant testimony. Witness the subjoiued dialogue. A party of men were conversing on the fruitful subject of managing refractory “niggers; some were for severe whipping, some recommending branding—one or two advocated other modes of torture; but one buge brute of a who bad pot taken an active a in the discussion, save to asgent with approving nod to apy unusually roug proposition, at last broke his silence by saying, in an oracular way, “You may say what you like about ma, nuging niggers; I’m a driver myself, aud I've had some experience and T ought to know, Youcan manage ordinary niggers by lickin’ ’em and givin’ ’m a taste of the hot iroa once in a while when they're extra ugly; but if a uigger really sets himself up against me, I can’t never havo uny patience with him, I just get my pistol and shoot him right down; and that’s the best way.’”’ And this brute was talking to gentlemen, and his re marks were lisiened to with attention, and his assertions assented to by more than one in the kuot of listeners. But all this time the gale was going on, and the merry Mr. Walsh, with many a quip and jest, was beguiling the time when the bidding was slow. The expression on the faces of all who stepped on the block was always the same, and told of more anguish than it is in the power of words to express, Blighted homes, crushed hopes and broken hearts was the sad story to be read inal) the anxious faces. Some of them regarded the sale with perfect indif- ference, never making a motion eave to turn from one je to the other at the word of the dapper Mr. Bryan, at all the crowd might have a fair view of their propor- tions, and then, when the sale was accomplished, step ping down from’ the block without caring to cast even alook at the buyer, who now held all their happiness vances, with her hands crossed on her bosom, @ quick curtsy, aud stands mate, looking ap- pealingly in the benevolent mau’s face.

Sometimes, two persons only would be bidding for the Fame chattel, all the others having resigned the tontest, and then the poor creature on the block, conceiving an instaptancous preference for one of the buyers over the other, would regurd the rivalry with the intensest inte- rest, the expreseion of his faco changing with every bid, settling into a balf smile of joy {f the favorite buyer per- severed unto the end and secured the property, and set- ting down toa look of hopeless despair if the other won the victory. mas’r see yer tecth, Molly—zee dat, mas’r, teeth al gular, all good—she’m young gal Come out yer, rae, walk aroun’ an’ let the gen’lin’n see bow spry you be — ‘Then, pointing to the three year old girl who stood with her chubby hand to her mouth, holding on to her mo- ther’s dress, and uncertain what to make of the strange scene. “Little Vandy’s only a chile yet; make prime gal by and by.

Similar seenes were transacting all the while on every side—parents praising the strength and cleverness of DAPHNEY'S BABY. The family of Primus, plantation carpenter, consisting of Daphney bis wife, with her young babe, aud Dido,a girl of three years ol re reached in due course ‘of time. to do all the rougher sorts of mechanical work on the Plantations. There were coopers, carpenters, shoomakers and blacksmiths, each one equal in his various craft to the re, requirements of a plantation—that is, the coop- ers could make rice tierces, and possibly, on a pinch, rade tubs and buckets; the carpenter could do the rough car- Ppentry about the negro quarters; the shoemaker could make shoes of the fashion required for the slaves, and the blacksmith was adequate to the manufacture of hoes and similar simple tools, and to such trifling repairs in the blacksmithing way as did not require too refined a skill. Though probably bo one of all these would be called a su- Perior, or even an average workman, among the masters of the craft, their knowickge of these various trades sold in some cases for nearly as much as the man—that is, a ‘man without a trade, who would be valued at $900, wi readily bring $1,600 or $1,700, if he was a passable black- smith or cooper There were no light mulattoes in the whole lot of the Butler stock, and but very few that were even a shade removed from the original Congo blackness. They have been little defied by the admixture of degenerate Anglo- Saxon blood, and, for the most part, coula boast that they were of as pure @ breed as the bluest blonde of Spain—a point in their favor in the eyes of dhe buyer as weil as physiologically, for too liberal an infusion of the blood of the dominant race brings a larger intelligence, a more vigorous brain, which, anon, grows restless under the poke, and ig prone to inquire into the definition of the word liberty, and the meaning of the starry flag which waves, as you May bave heard, o'er the land of the free. Tus pure blooded negroes are much more docile and manage: able than mulatioes, though less quick of compreliension, which makes them preferred by drivers, who can stimu- late stupidity much easier by the lash thaa they can control intelligence by it. None of the Butler slaves have ever been sold be- fore, but have been on these two plantations since they were born. Here haye they lived their humble lives, and loved their simple loves; here were they born, and here have many of them had children born unto them; Dapbney bad ’large ehawl, which she kept carefully wrapped round her infant and-herself, 1 pro- ceeding attracted much attention, and provoked many re- barks, euch as those : “ What do you keep your nigger covered up for?

Pull off her rags and ict us see her, “Who's going to bid on that nigger, if you keep her covered up? Let’s see her face. And a loud chorus of similar remarks, emphasized with loud profanity, and mingled with sayings too indecent and obscene to be even hinted at here, went up from the crowd of chivalrous Southern gentlemen. At last the auctioneer obtained a bearing long enough to explain that there was no attempt to practice any decep- tion in the casc—the parties were not to be wronged in any way; he had no desire to paim off on them an infe- rior article, but the truth of the matter was that Daphney bad been confined only fifteen days ago, aud he thought that on that account she was entitled to the slight indul- gence of a blanket, tokeep {rom herself and child the chill air and the driving rain. Will your Jady readers look at the circumstances of this case? The day was the 2d day of March. Daph- pey’s baby wes born into the world on St. Valentine’s bappy day, the 14th of February.

The women never spoke to the white men unless spoken to, and then made the conference as short as possible; and not one of them all, during the whole time they were thus exposed to the rude questions of vulgar men, spoke the first un- womanly or indelicate word, or conducted herself in any regord otherwise than as & modest woman should do; their conversation and demeanor were quite as unexcep. tionable as they would have been had they been the high- est ladies io the land, and through all the insalts to which they were subjected, they conducted themselves with the erfect decorum and self-respect. ‘niiment of the subjoined characteristic dialogue was heard more than once repea| “Well, Colonel, 1 seen you looking sharp at shoemaker Bill ny Going to buy her?’ “Well, Major, I think not.

The race course at Savannah is situated about three miles from the city, in a pleagaut spot, nearly surrounded by woods. As it rained violently during the two days of the sale, the place was only accessible by carriages, aud bere bad their parents lived before them, and are now resting in quiet graves on the old plantations that these unbappy ones are to see no more forever; here they left notonly the well-known scenes dear to them from very babyhood by a thousand fond memories, and their homes ‘as loved by them perhaps as brighter homes by men of brighter faces; but all the clinging ties that bound them to living hearts were torn, for but one-half ofeach of these two happy little communities was sent to the sham- bles, to be scattered to the fogy winds, but the other hair were left behind. And who can tell how closely inter- twined are the affections of a little band of four hundred vata living isolated from all the world beside, from irth to middie aget Do they not naturally become one great family, each man a brother unto each? Tt is true they were sold ‘in families; but let us See: @ man his wife were called a “family,” their parents and kindred were not taken into account: the man and wife might be sold to the pine wood; of North Carolina, their brothers and sisters scattered through the cotton fields of Alabama and the Tice swamps of Louisiana, while ioe might be loft on the oid plantation to wear out heavy grief, and lay their heads in far off graves, over their children might never weep. And no account could be taken of loves that were as yet unconsummated by marriage, and how many hearts have been di- vorced by Bu nO man can ever know. And the se ig a8 utter, and is infinitely more hopeless than that made by the angel of death; for, in the latter case, the loved ones are committed to the care of a merciful Deity, but, in the other instance, to the tender mercies of a slave driver. These dark skinned un- fortunates are perfectly unlettered, and could not commn- Bicate by writing even if they would know where to send their missives. And go, to each other and to the old fa- familiar places of their ‘youth clang all their sympathies and affections, not leas Strong, perhaps, because theyfare 80 few. The blades of grass on all the Butler estates “are outnumbered by the tears that are poured out in agony at the wreck that has been wrought in happy homes, and the Crushing griet that has been laid on loving hearts, But, then, what business have “niggers” with tears? Beside, didn’t Pierce Butier give them a pily ‘er dollar ‘splecet which will appear in the sequel. And, sad as itis, it was all necessary, because a gentleman was notable to live on the beggarly pittance of half a million, and go nut needs enter into speculations which turned’ out ad. versely. HOW THEY WERE TREATED IN SAVANNAN. negroes were brought to Savannah in small lots, ag many at atime as could be conveniently taken care of — the last of them reaching this city the Friday before the sale.

But nothing of the kiod was thought of of a hundred dollars, The family sold for $625 a piece, or 2,500 for the four. f “iis BOB AND MARY. ‘This was a conple not quite a year married, and were down in the catalogue as “ prime.” They had no children yet; Mary, with a reprehensible lack of that tender in- terest in Mr. Butler’s affairs that had been exhibited in so here, and the only resalt was to the livery stabies, the | eminent a degree by Daphney, had disaj Muted that wor- owners of which had suflicient Yankeeism to charge double | thy man’s expectations and ihe baby ef was not.

The conveniences of getting to the ground were s0 limited that there were not enough buyers to warrant the opening of the sale for an hour or two after the advertised time. They dropped in, however, a few at atime, and things began to look more encouragingly for the seller. The negroes looked more uncomfortable than ever; the close confinement indoors for a number of days, and’ the drizzly, unpleasant weather began to te!! on their condi- tion. ‘They moved about more listlessly and were fast losing what of activity and springiness had at first.

Early next marning i ones: alert, and hat in hand, encouraged to unusual fre oy, the greatness of the stake for which he a addresses evory buyer, and of all who will listen he begs the booa peaks in his homely way with all who know bim bat they will intercede to save his sweetheart from being sold away from him forever. No one has the heart to deny a word of promise and enconrsgemont to the poor fellow, and, joyous with go much kindness, his hopes and ‘Spirits gradually rise until he feels almost certain that the wish his heart will be accomplished. And Dorcas too is smiling, for is not Jeffrey’s happiness her own? At last comes the trying moment, and Dorcas steps up on the stand, But now a most unexpected feature in the drama is for the first time ummasked; Dorcas is not to be sold alone, but with a family of four others, Full of dismay, Jeifrey looks to his master, who shakes his head, for, although he might be induced to buy Dorcas alone, he has no use for the rest of the family. Jeffrey reads bis doom in his master’s look, and turng away, the tears streaming down his honest face. So Dorcas is sold, and her toiling life ia to be spent inthe cotton fields-of South Carolina, while Jeffrey goes to the rice plantation of the Great Swamp. And to-morrow Jeffrey and Dorcas are to say their tear- ful farewell, and go their separate ways in life to moct no more as mortal beings. But didn’t Mr. Pierce Butler give them a silver dollar apiece? Who shall say there is no magnanimity in slave owners? In another hour Isee Dorcas in the long room, sitting motionleés a8 a statue, with her bead covered with a shawl, And Ieee Jeffrey, who goes to his new master, pulls off his bat and gaye, “I’se very much obliged, mas'r, to you for tryin’ to belp me. Iknows you would have done it if you could—thank you, mas’r—thank you—but— its—berry—bard’’—and here the poor fellow breaks down entirely and walks away, covering his face with his bat- tered bat, and sobbing like a very child. He ie goon surrounded by a group of his colored friends, who, with an instinctive delicacy most unlooked for, stand quiet, and with uncovered heads, about him, Anton and Violet, chattels Nog, 111 and 112, were sold for $250 each, both being old, and Anson being down in the catulogue as “ruptured and as having but one eye.”” Violet was gold as being sick. Her disease was probably consumption, which supposition gave rise to the following feeling conversation between two buyers:— “Cheap gal that, Major.’’ «Don’t think so, ‘They may talk about her being sick; it's no engy sickness she’s got. She’s got consumption, und the man that buys ber’li have to be a doctorin’ her ali the time, and she'll die in less than threo months. I won’t have anything to do with her—don’t want any half dead niggers about me.” AN UNBXPECTED MARRIAGE. ‘When the family of Mingo, consisting of his wife, two sous and a daughter, was called for, it was announced by the auctioneer that chattel No. 822, Dembo, the eldest son, aged 20, bad the evening before procured the services 4 minister and been joined in wedlock to chattel No. 404, Frances, and that he should be compelled to put up the ‘bride and groom in one lot. They were called up, and, as was to be expected, their appearance was the signal for a volley of coarge jokes from the auctioneer, and of ribald remarks from the surrounding crowd. The newly mar- ried pair bore it bravely, although one refined gentleman took hold of Frances’ lips and pulled them apart to see her age. This sort of thing it is that makes Northern blood boll, and Northern fists clench with a laudable desire to hit somebody. It was almost too much for endurance to Stand aud see those brutal slavedsivers pushing the women about, pulling their lips apart with their not too cleanly hands, and committing many another indecent act, While the ‘husbands, fathers and brothers of these women were compelled fo witness these things without the power to resent the outrage, Dembo and Frances were at last struck off for $1,328 each, and went Yo spend their honeymoon on a cotton plantation in Alabama, THE CASE OF JOSHUA’S MOLLY, The auctioneer brought up Joshua’s Molly and fami- ly. Ho appounced that Molly insisted that she was lame in her left foot, and perversely would walk lame, although, for his part, he did not believe a word of it. He bad caused her to be examined by an eminent physician in Savannah, which medical light had declared that Joshua’s Molly was not lame, but was only sham- be However, the gentlemen must judge for them- scives aud bid accordingly. So Molly was put through her paces, and compelied to trot up and down along the stage, to go up and down the steps, and to exercise her feet in various ways, but always with the same re- Re dee left foot would be lame. She was finally sold for Whether she really was lame or not, no one knows but herself; but it must be remembered that to aslayo a lameness, or anything that decreases his market value, 13 & thing to be rejoiced over. A man in the pete, of lite, worth $1,600, or thereabouts, can have little hope of ever being able, by any little savings of his own, to purchase his bberty. But ‘let him have a ruptare, or oe a limb, or sustain any other injury that renders him of much less service to his owner, and reduces his value to $300 or $400, and he may hope to accumulate that sum, and eventually to purchase his liberty. Froodom without health is infinitely sweeter than health without freedom. And so the great sale went on for two long hep during Which time there were sold 429 mon, women and children. There were 486 announced to be sold, but a few were de- tained on the plantations by sickness. At the cloge of the sale, on the last day, sundry baskets of champagne were produced, and all were invited to par- baie! said wine being atthe expense of the broker, r. Bryan, The total amount of the sale foots up $303,850—the pro- ead of the first day being $161,480, and of the second day The highest sum paid for any one family was given for Sally Walker and her five children, who were mostly grown up. The price was $6,180 The highest price paid for a single’ man was $1 dene was given for William, a “fair carponter cauiker.”” The highest prico paid for a woman was $1 1250, which Was given for Jane, ‘‘cotten hand and house servant.’ ‘The lowest price paid was for Anson and Violet, a gray- haired couple, each having numbered more than fifty Years: they brought but $250 a piece.
