Political Affatrs in Geergia—Mass Meeting of Negrever, in Mi P by White and ‘Colered Meu—Georgia Remain a Demo- erate State, Ke. hin Cie b 27, 1867. ‘The papers of Georgia are wheeling into ranks in sup- *port‘of the reconstruction measures, They palliate their ‘own consciences, and endeavor to satisfy the pedple for ‘Wits change by declaring the measvres to have been forced ‘upon them by the conqueror. And go they have; but the public voice is now so loud im favor,of restoration that the newspapers dare not disgegard it longer. I know not ‘of a single public journal in this State that advises the pecple to vote “xo convention.” The number ef dis- Franchised (s uscortained to be about eight thousand, It is anything tut agreeable to this class to lose the right of franchise, held #0 dearly by a free people, and it is to be hoped bat the stay of their humiliation will be short. I am not xblo te ascertain that the negroes in this section bf the country contemplate veting in bodies for tickets of their own. They will vote, however; that is certain, and they eaake i known that they do not lightly estrem the privilege. If any party should arise im opposition to the prevailing sentiment of the white people, it will be probably brought about through tho mzeucy of the Northern preachers that have been* rent bore to preach and instruct the negroes. These qreachers, white engaged in the very laudable business for which they were sent out, have it in their power to do a-world of mischief by setting the black population in ‘opporition to the whites, by reminding the former of ‘past injuries and feeding them with hopes which they have not the capacity to realize, True philanthropy may ‘send these emissaries out, but it would be mistaken zeal after they have come here to encourage tbe black popu- @ation to foster in their hearts unkind feelings towards ‘their late masters. Let by gones be by gones is the ‘motto for the negroes to hold towards the whites and for ‘the whites to hold towards the government. To do this “tbey are encouraged by the most brilliant generals in the Southem army. To accept the terms of the Sherman Dil, our people have been urged by Generals Lee, Beau- ogard, Johaston, Gordon, Longstreet, Taylor; and many ‘others of less rank who distinguished themselves on hard-fought battle-flelds, are known to favor the earliest Festoratioa possible. Another era has come in Georgia which is as remarkable in the history of the State as apything that has transpired. Jn yesterday (26th) a large mass mecting of colored voters was held im this city, which was addressed by ‘doth colored and white orators. Resolutions, which itis not necessary to publish in full, were adopted, thanking the government for the constitutional amendment and the sherman bill. After the adoption of the resolutions Rev. Mr. Turner, a bright, intelligent colored man, de- Aivered a most forcible and eloquent address, the tenor af which was for the colored race to educate themselves ‘up to the standard required of them to make them the Nitical equais of the whites. He said, in the course of Bis remarks, that he was far from saying that no good had resulted from the institution of slavery. In the amysterions providence of God benefieial results had been evoked from it, He reminded the sable audience that mot only liad the South been guilty of the sin of slavery, Dut that the country was once a nation of slaveh and that the constitution had upheld ry. He believed that God designea the ovangelization of Africa through the America, and drew a glowing vision of Ethiopia emerg- Sng from under the clouds of ignorance and superstition. We have been here, said the speaker, two hundred and ify years, and our white friends will bear witneas to he unparalielied docility and submission with which we Dore the bape of bondage, in contrast with the slaves of Greece, the bondmen of Egypt and the serfs of Russia, In this respect we challenge the world to find our equals, Blavery is dead—we are treo. Many of our white {riends deciare they are glad of it, and scores of ministers have told us of the peculiar satisfaction they now feel in being able to preach the free gospel. And to-day, we ail, ‘white and black, can stand hero together, rejoicing in mutual freedom; no watching each other—all anxiety femoved—all blessing to God fur this great deliverance. ‘The spoaker repudiated the idea that any sensible negro entorianned the idea of sock equally with the hie. He ais disclaimed, on bevxit of ine large audieuce of wexroes present, uny He was followed by Kev, Isaac Primus (veg made a brief address, urging the negroes to the practice of the Christian virtues. The following white oraiors ‘then addressed the assemblage:—Rev. David Wills, D. D., pastor of the Presbyterian church of the city; Colo- nel Lows, 2 member of General Sibiey’s staff; James A. Wi alawyer of eminence, and long resident of this ‘city; Mr. Eberhardt, Superintendent of Education, and onnected with the Freedmen’s Bureau; Colonel Thomas Hardeman, present Speaker of the House of Reprosepta- ‘tives of Georgia; Cajonel Fitch, United States District Atormey for Geot M. M. Pomeroy, editor of the La- ‘Crosse Democrat (Wis.), and Mayor Obear, of the city. After the conclusion of the speaking, Mr. Nisbet (one of the white speakers) caught up one of the banners, and, Yeading the inscription thereon, “If we must live aud ‘veto in the same Staie, let us be friends,’ proposed threo cheers for the sentiment, which were shouted with a ‘will from more thaa a thousand voices, fhe meeting then ped. ‘The reeulis of this mecting have completely broken down the wail of partition between the black and white in all but social equality, and will have the effect of transferring the sceptre of power from the morthern section of the State, where it bas so long re- sided, to the southern or cotton regions, It will take many years to alter this result; for, although immi+ grants io the State will prefer the northern section on ac- count of climate and the character of the production of the soil, it will take many years to alter the preponder. apoe of the voting of this section, increased as it has Deen by the addition of negro voters. It is extremely doubtful, therefore, wheiber any property or educational qualification for voting would pe desired to be engrafted dy the people in the constitution of the State. The negroes of the Southern portion of the State would op- ppove any restriction, as it woula disfranchise so many of them, and the white portion of the Northern section ‘would oppose any restriction, as education and property ate both there at so greata discount. “But the beginning thas been made for a union of the white and biack races 4n political matters, whose results will be the confirm: and esiablishing of the political status of the State. Predict, therefore, in opposition to previous opinions— expressed, however, before the element of negro suf- frage was embraced in the caicalation—Georgia a demo- ‘eratic State for a length of years. The meeting of yes- terday has a significance beyoud anything 1 have yet Mentioned. It is an invitation to candidates to seek megro votes, Negroes must henceforth, at least in this @ection, where they are equal in number to the white ‘voters, be adinitted to political caucuses, and I cannot think they will always be willing to be left out of nomi- Bahon Jor offices, TEXAS. - SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD.

Comment on ptatl< — ‘Ord and Governor Marphy to seats to-morrow, MISSISSIPPI. Letter from &X-United States Senator Albert 1G, Brown, ef Mi Terry, Hinds county, Miss., March 22, 1867. ‘Your letter of the 1®th, iting an expression of my views on the situation of our public affairs, was re- ceived yesterday. Since the surrender I have not meddied in political affairs, and have studiously avoided every act that might be construed into an attempt to interfere in matters wilh which a ‘proscribed rebel’? bad nothing to do, Even now I hesitate as to the propriety of the course I am about to take in answering your inquires. As I do not volauteer my opinions J hope to escape cansure for ex- pressing them. To those who think it most becoming men in my situation to keep quict Tam free to say, “that is yery much my own opinion.” ‘As I spegk reluctantly you will not be surprised if T say as little as possible. Tomy mind it is only neces- sary to fix in our thoughts the present political status of the Southern States to enable us without an effort to ar- rive at proper conclusions as to what these States ought w do, I thought at the beginning, and now think, the acts of secession were valid, and that they took the States that passed them out, The fact that we were forced to say these acts were void ab ini‘iodid not make them so in law. We fought, as 1 think, out of the Union, and not in it, We fought te maintain an independent and sepa- rato nationality which we had created And when we ceased to fight and gave up our arms we laid them at the feet of the conqueror. From that day io this we have coased to have any political rights which the conqueror was bound to respect. We often confuse ourselves bv thinking too much on the inconsistencies of our opponents instead of arguing con- sistently and logically from our own premises to ourown conclusions. What if the radicals do say we were never ‘out of the Union, and then pore to take us back on their own harsh terms? We know we were out, and that on fair terms we are willing to go back. While I say this, I utterly deny that we committed any treasen, ‘Aforeigner cannot commit treason, however he may offend against the laws and constitution of another coun- try than his own in other respects. By the act of secession we passed from under the con- stitation of the United States and lost all claim on it for protection. We could not consistently demand protec- tion under this constitution after we had thrown it off and made another, and, as we hoped, a better one for ourselves, I bave sald when we laid down our arms and acknow!l- edged ourselves conquered we ceased to have any polit- ical rights which the conqueror was bougd to % I am not to be understood in this ag “saying that the con- queror may rightfully do with us ashe pleases. He is bound to treat us as he has treated other conquered peo- ple, and as other conquerors have their conquered in modern times. Whether he does so or not, not we, but God ana the civilized world must be the judges. If the conqueror tmposes harsh and inhuman terms he degrades himself and not his victim. It is tomy mind exceedingly absurd for a conquered people to talk of being degraded by submitting to the will of the con- qneror. Is alone traveller, without arms, degraded be- cause he submits to be robbed by a bandit? I am not comparing our conquerors to a bandit, but Iam saying we are unarmed, helpless and as completely in their power as a solitary footman in the power of robbers, It remaixs to be seen whether they will honor themselves by tempering mercy with power or degrade themselves, not us, by a contrary course. We have nothing to do but submit, It does seem to mo that some of onr people, after swallowing @ camel, are now straining ata gnot, After taking down atagulp negro emancipation, and all the attendant measures, Iam incredulous asto their strain- ing their throats by swallowing the new batch of Measures proposed by Congress It is a nauseating dose, and I would not take it if I conld help myself. But I know the doctor; if I don’t take this, and do it promptly, he will, on his next round, give me something ‘worse, .and very likely stand by and make me take it. It is a part of his system to give very sickening doses and in quick succession, and make the patient take them. It is useless to grum- ble—the patient is in the hospital, with both arms off and no help at hand=the doctor is very absolute, and we think very cruel, but wi can we do? True we may play the part of a sick child, and say to ourselves if we ever do get well we will thrash him. But I guess when we get well, if we aver do, we shall feel so good that wo won’t want to thrash anybody. 3 After ali the measures proposed by Congres, thongh harsh, are not so bitingly severe as they might have deen.’ They have been so generally rad and ahty com. meated on that I shal? forbear any analysis of even criti elaiy om them ia detail, Some of their werst features I Will barely allude to, Que of thea, negro sitifraga, and itstwin steter, nero education, have been generally commented on as extremely haren; and especially when taken iu connection with the proposition to dis'ranchise and torever proscribe a large portion of the most inteili- gent “hites These measures are rendered unnecessarily harsh, and, as 1 think, extremely dangerous to the safety and best intorest of the whole country by being made too broad Of this 1 may speak an between onrselves, but. as I have said before on the generel subject, you and I are not to bo judges. For example, it was very harsh, and 1 think altogether wnneccssary, to d’sfranchise so large & number of our Intelligent whites as to throw the num- ber of States, in all probability, into the bands of the ignorant blacks and vicious whites, Surely it would have been sufficient to vindicate an idea to have disfran- ghisec euongh in @ach State to make an example, men who have done this thing will remember, when T fear it will be too late, that the interest of this country is intimately blended with their own—so intiznately, In- deed, that it will be found impossible to inflict a perma | nent injury on one without seriously damazing th: other, 1 am as you know, among the proscribed, but I am ratistied. The right to vote I should never exereise, un- Jess for the bepoilt of my cointry, and I want no oilice, Therefore the law, If it passes, will give me no concern tor myself, and I beg my frends not to include me in their thoughts when they are considering what to do on this subject. As to educating the negro and lettne him vote, T should not oppose it az an original proposition, if it was to be done at the right time, in the maht way, and by tho vight men. The negro ts a fixture in this country. He is not going out of it, he is not voing to die out, and ho is not going to be driven out. Nor 1s bis exodus from the coontry desirable, I am frank in saying, if they, every one of them, could be packed in a bailodu, carried over the water and emptied into Africa, I would not have it done, unless, indeed, it wero already arranged ‘that the batioon should return by way of Germany, ire- land, Scotland, &c., and bring us a return cargo of White laborers. If the flegro is to stay here, and it is desirable to have him do so, what 1s the duty of the intelligent white man towards hfm? Why, to educate him, admit him waea sufficiently instructed to the right of voting, and as rapidly as possible prepare him for n safe and rational enjoyment of that “equality before the law,” which asa free man he has aright to claim, and which we cannot long refuse to give Thave a scheme of my own on this subject, based, I think, on a rational and comprehensive view of the relations existing in this couatry between the two races, but I forbear to give it, as it has been saperseded by the much more ultra and I fear dangerous scheme submitted by Congress, and which we shall be compelled to accept ip all ts amplitude. Pardon the digressions and prolixities into which I am but too conscious of having run, and I will draw this letter to a close, T tuink we shall be competied to submit to all that Congress has dove or may do, and this being so I would bave our people do it as gracefully as possible—not in- deed pretending they like it—that would be disgraceful— but without any murmorings or childish regrets, Only in conclusion—I earnestly hope every white man in the State who is not disqualified will make every needful preparation to vote when the timo comes; and that all who can vote will do so calmly, with dignity, and with xed purpose to save as much of liberty as can be rescued from the wreck of the *‘lost cause.’’ Very truly and faithfully, gentlemen, your friend and fellow citizen. A. G. BROWN. Another Letter from Governor Patton. Execctive Derartent, Moxtoomrny, Ala, March 27, 1867, } Hon. Atnert Voormers, Lieutenant Governor of Louisi- ana, New Orleans :— A heavy press of business has prevented an earlier reply t ur favor of the 6th inst. You perhaps have seen in the public prints a letter which I wrote a short time since on the general political situation, Tt seems to me that it is the trite feeling of the South. ern people to contribute their best influence in favor of an early organization of their respective States, in ac- cordance with the requirements of the recent Recon- struction act. Congress claims the right to control this whole question. In my humble judgment it is unwise to contend longer against its power or to struggle further against its repeatedly expressed will, 1 am clearly of the opinion that an appeal to the courts would accomplish If a test case were brought 'Yy it would open up a series of the most tions which perhaps ever engaged tho attention of any tribunal. Questions of such vast mag- nitude could not speedily be disposed of. They would neceseartly require much time; and before a conclusion could be reached the Southern’ States, in all probability, would be fully reorganized under the Congressional plan. Indeed, lemental bill provides specifically for a reo i nd the only practical question is, who will participate in the work?

Maramwonas, March 22, 1867, Up to the present date the armies iD “ne vi- cinity of Querétaro, as far as heard from, are at a stan4 still, A San Luis letter, dated March 6, says business continues at a ‘standstill in con- pequence of the anxiety as to tle result of operations in the vicinity of Querétaro, Me‘ximilian was still there with ten thousand men, four thousand of whom are for- eigners. President Juarez is still at San Luis, Several prestamos have been levied—one of $70,000 and another of $150,000, Another of $300,000 is anticipated. ‘The imperialists are concentrating all their available forces, According tothe reports large prestamos were exacted from the various places occupied by them pre- vious to their departure, and great excesses committed. The liberals were also concentrating all the forces pos- sible. * Later dates from San Luis are uptothe 11th. A great battle had been reperted, but subsequently denied. The Cochuilense of the 15th inet. furnishes the follow- ing extract of a letter from Escobedo:— Hacrenpa Dx ALVARADO, March 7, 1867, Tarrived here to-day with the Army Corps of the North. General Corona, with the font ‘the West is at Santa Ma- . Aurelian Rivera, with his brigade, ia at Cuesta Colo rado. Carvajal ought to arrive to-day at San Juan del Rio, ‘The enemy has established his outposts outside of Quere- taro. Itis there he proposes to resist our attack, The two armies are in sight of each other. ‘The same paper says that the imperialists came out of Queritaro on the 6th with the intention of attacking Corona, but were compelled to fall back by a flank move- ment of Escobedo. It also says:—We have letters from Escobedo to the 10th inst, at five P.M. The enemy is now completely locked in Querétaro, Car- vajal and Aureliano Rivera have completely cut his communication with the capital and the Sierra. The other roads are guarded by Escobedo and Corona, De- sertion continues, and the deserters report that the be- sieged are completely demoralized. Our triumph is hourly becoming more certain.

Not long since a second article on the subject was published in the Prensa, of Bogota, and, when taken in connection with the revolutionary move- ments of the present Colorhbian Executive, must be looked upon as part of the plan concocted in Europe to accomplish on the Isthmus of Panama what is aimed at om the Bosphorus. The following is an extract :— Europe, alarmed at the growing power and invading spirit of the United States, which already begin to dis- turb the equilibrium of the world, cannot do less than Jend its aid to the efforts which we may make to become @ great nation and a ible barrier against the Anglo Saxon republic. It is a necessity for the European Powers to have some auch barrier. Europe views with pleasure those concentrations of power which are taking Place in the Old World as obstacles to the growth of Rus- sia, and it would sympathize heartily with similar con. solidations of States on this continent for the purpose of keeping the United States in check. Such is the programme, and it need not be added that England and France are at the bottom of it. ‘The press of Bogota complain bitterly of Mosquera’s agents for their illegal action in preventing the mails from reaching the coast for transmission abroad. The Panama papers rarely receive a mail from the interior of Colombia now, ‘ Before the arrival of the R, R, Cuyler had become known in Bogota Sefior Parras had brought in a bill to Congress for the sale of all the war vessels belonging to Colombia, The loans contracted abroad by Mosquera are exciting much comment and Congress demands an account of his doings abroad, ‘The most important part of the proceedings at Bogota within a month bas been the threat made by the President against the members of Congres On the 12th of February, at noon, three battalions of infantry and one squadron of cavalry were drawn up in the Piaza de Bolivar to hear an address trom General Morquera, ‘The gist of it was to glorify himself and run down the representatives of the people. At the same time he hinted that if he should respect their personal security he might not pay the same re; to their acts and measures, The troops afterwards marched through the principal streets and around the legislative halls. The ipdignation of Congress was at once aroused, many parti of the grave general denounced his new line of conduct; and Senor Rodriguez read a jengthy report to the House of Repregenjatives on the subject, Init is set forth the cause of the trouble be- tween Moequera and Congress. It appears that when Mosquera came home from Europe he expected to carry out the plang abd measures to which he had pledged himself there, but was met by an oppozition party which had the majority in Congress. He at once called a meet- ing of Ministers and partisans at the Presidential Palace to take mvasures for overcoming the opposition. The resolution arrived at was to ignore the acts and legislation of Congres4, prepare for the most extreme eventualities, and strengthen the military power of the Execétive, Tho indignation of the whole community was at Cd aroused; still the most calm and wise coun- sels prevailed, in order to give ‘Morquera no pretext what- ever for making a coupd’état. ‘Ihe opposition party proposed to compromise matters with the government and- appointed a committee of conference. The result of their deliberations was that the Minister Froilan and Lareacha should withdraw from Congress, where they had no constitutional right to sit; the acts authorizing the Executive to contra:t certain loans abroad were to be repealed; the limits within which the Executive coutd, interfere in the locai affairs of each State wero to be defined so as to allow the individual States to settle their internal troubles themeelves, and their right to keep up ap armed force in ttine of peace should be admitied, As to the confiseated church property, the final decision was to be ieft to the judiciary. The question of the exiled bishops was alsoto be referrcd to the tribunals— te prelates In the meantime to be allowed to return to their diovescs. These terms were accepted by the Ministry, except as regards the question of loays and the afairs of the bishops. But the real cause of Mosquera’s wrath was not the attitude of the bishops, but the un- Willingness of Congress to ra'ify his ro‘nous foxnk can. acted with Rubut-en, Fleming & ¢0..-ot London, and ether Earu houses Re anne Consress elected ay Proowdeav of tay House an eminent writer who € Mosquera’s doings im Eurupe, he let loose big wrath and determined to vee ttreat uch ax were foreshadowed by the array of February ov the Piaza de Bolivar.

Varranaiso, March 3, 1867, There is very little of importance to write from this pla: ‘The allied squadron, which went to cea on the Bist of January, has returned after a cruise in the dirce- tion of the island of Juan Fernandez, and is quietly lying at anchor in the bay, with no prospect of going to sea again in some time. Reports have been received from Montevideo that the Spanish fleet is preparing to leave for the Pacific to resume hostilities, and work ig being hastened on the fortifications and the Chilean war vVesrels undergoing repairs or fitting out. [t is thought that four months will be sufficient for the completion of the works about Valparaiso, but 1 am of the impression that a year from now will find them in an unfinished condition. It is proposed to mount one hundred and ninety guns around the bay. Most of these are guns of from one hundred to five hundred pounds, including ten fifteen-inch. Rodmans, five four hundred and fifty Blakelys, and a large number of Parrotte. Most of ‘these guns are already here, with carriages and am- munition, and might have been mounted months ago bad proper diligence been exercised. There are not over thirty guns in position now, and if the Spaniards should make their appearance soon Valparaiso would find her. self in a very awkward situation. The people are unlversally in favor of a renewal of the war, belioving that with the new war material of Chile and the allied squadron the four republics will be more than a match for Spain's fleet. The Spaniards captured in the Cova. Gonga are still kept in prison, and there they aro likely to remain for along period. No Spaniard is per. mitted to enter the country, and this exclusion has been 80 rigidly enforced that attempts were made to prevent sailors of Spanish citizenship from landing from American vessels, Of course, upon the proper representations ‘being made by our Consuls, — re oe hewn ato henge As neutrais and permitte come ore, but it war unsafe for such persons to ramble about much talons with a party strong enough to eae itself from violence.

Considerable progress has been recently made in the re- striction of the Southern territories of Chile, occupied by the Araucanian Indians. An expedition, commanded by Colonel Saavedra, has succeeded in occupying the island of Tolten, situated at the mouth of the river of that name. Asa military position it has many advantages, commanding the centre of Arancania, and forming a base for future operations, Fortifications have been erected, a strong military garrison is established, and about six hundred coloniste have taken up their resi- dence there, This colony will prevent the disembar- cation om that Coast of hostile troops, who might at- tempt to tamper with the aborigines, and isolate the ere provinces, American enterprise is about to open the great valley of Chile to the sea coast in the coat. General Vickers, of Philadelphia, has obtamed from the Chile govern: ment the exclusive privilege to construct a railroad from Talcahuana to Concepcion, and to run it for thirty years. Above Concepcion river Bio-Bio is navigable for steamers, but a bar at its mouth prevents it from being used asa port. Chile supplies most of the grain used on this coast, and ships immense quantities to Europe. Nearly ail’ this grain, instead of going to Concepcion and Talcahuana, its natural outlet, and thence abroad, 1s carted over the mountain to Tome, on the opposite side of the bay, and shipped there. Back of the coast ridge extends the principal valley of Chile for several hundred miles; rich as our Western bottom lands, and producing not’only heavy crops of grain, but fruits of all kinds, including many tropical vaneti and grapes of unsurpassed quality, Vast quantities wine are made every year and are used by all cl: the difficulty in getting it to market making it so cheap that the laborers, who get from ten to twenty cents per day, uso it as a constunt b:verage. The Bio-Bio flows down through this valley; but its mouth being block. aded by the bar communication with some other harbor is needed, Taicahuana affords the desired port. The bay Is land-locked, and never disturbed by storms. Ships can lie alongside the wharves, and when the railroad is completed grain, wine, fruit, beef and wool will haya fre pene to the sea, The original design of the Chilean government was to build the rajlroad from Santiago to Curico and Chillan, thence to Concepcion, and thence to Taleabuana; running a lino of seyergl hundred miles through the beart of the rich Valley, and Cpening the inexhaustible agricultural re- sources of the country to commerce. The road has been completed from Santiago to Curico, ninety-five miles; but here it has stopped in consequence of the war, This road is now barely able to transport the products of the small ‘tection through which it passes, [saving the vast plains Math of Curico no means of communication with the ast except by carts and pack mules across the moun- tains, Tho Concepeigg Railroad, in communicating with the Bio-Biu, pens up an avenue to this fertile region. A8 Soon WS the trains have been put on trig Toad it wil! be extended up the valley until it joins the other portion gt Curico, placing the whole of tbe interior of Chile iy ‘reach of the best harbor on the west coast. Not evly.train, wine, wool and beef will find an outlet here, bit copper and silver mines, now unworked because of the difficulty in transgorting ores and coal, will be opened and their riches exported as is done in the new railroad districts of northern Chile, The importance of this road to Chile is but littie less than that of the Pacific Rauiroad to the United States, as it will afford the only direct commun cation between the coast and the richest part of the country. The government, would have al- ready built the road had not the war interfered with such works, Most of the Chile railroads have been con- structed by Americans, and have been go successful that Congress deemed it betier to give the road and its protits toa Yankee, for the sake ot insuring the early deveiop- ment of the agricultural and mineral resources of the in- terior; an undertaking which the government, with its present war. would for a ion: time be unable tq secom- plish.

On Monday afternoon Coroner Gover was called on board the British schooner Ottawa, now lying in the bay, of Fort Hamilton, to take the ante-mortem examivation of Freeman Tingley, first mate of the vessel, who had been dangerously shot at sea on the ovening of the 19th ultimo by a pistol in the hands of William H. Pye, cap- tain of the Ottawa. The testimony taken fails to show any motive on the part of Captain Pye for shooting his first officer, and it is charitable to believe that he was Jaboring under a temporary hallucination of mind at the time, He was secured and. brought a prisoner to this port.
