Tho Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist of the 7th inst. gives along account of the capture of Lucius Thomas, one of the colored assassins who murdered old man Hauseman and his nephew Pothmann near Aiken, 3. C., some weeks ago, Thomas, who had up to the time mentioned been a refugee trom justice, was captured by H. C. Mosely, of Charleston, and James Wingard, of Aiken, ator near Cape. Romain, about forty miles northeast of Charleston, He was engaged in cutting cordwood at the time of his capture and the arrest w: made without any trouble, Ho was at once securely ironed and broughtto Aiken, where he arrived with his captors Tuesday afternoon at four o’clock, and con- fined with the five or six other negroes who were en- gaged tn the bloody murder of the two Germans, Since his capture Thomas has voluntarily made full confession, At Branchville, as the train stopped for a few minutes, be saw the colored pastor of his church at Aiken standing on the plattorm, and ex- Pressed a desire to have a talk. The preacher was summoned, and Thomas, with the tears running down nis cheeks, told him ihe plan oi operations proposed by his clan, the amount of erime they bad commitied aud the sickening details of various murders ne had been engaged in. The Constitutionalist says:— lt seems almost incredivie that five or six negroes ghouid be able to perpecrate so mauy outrages in a thickly settled a county as Aiken, aod sarrounded by such a community it 18. It must ve recollected that all these crimes were committed within @ few miles of Augusta, and one, at least, at our very door and upon a worthy citizen of this piace. There is no doubt of the guilt of these parties, as a tree and voluntay confession on thei part shows bevond adoubt. it now remains to be seen if the jailer of Aiken county will permit these villains to escape, or hold them securely until a swift aad morited punish- ment 1s meted out to to them.

New York, Doe, 4, 1870. To tu Ep:tor oF Tas HekaLp:— ifindin the Huxatp of to-day a letter from your London correspondent, dated November 17, containing a tively description of the discussion now going on in England over the return of the British Arctic expodi- hon, in connection with which my own name ts promi- nently mentioned. A good many people tn Great Britain seem to be dissatislied, accoraimg to the press notices quoted by your correspondent, with the return of the expedition; others object to the plans pursued im travelling, while others regard the expedition as being in ail respects a guccess, aud still others a decided failure, Among these are “Arcturus,” *Po- jaris,” “B. B. C.,”? my old friend Dr. Rae, and “An Old Arctic.’ Your correspondent says that my letver in the Heratp of October 29 acted on this iast unknown party “lke a red flag on a bull,” ond then relates the result. I should like the privilego of saying a few words with regard to thismatier. The letter referred to was being written when a momber of your stall came in to ‘Saterview” me, Ho wanted something tor the morn- ing paper, and accoraingly I finished the letter hastily. 1 did not even read it over, much less see the proots, To my surprise the Sum next day charged me with tm- pugming the veracity of Captain Nares. This I promptly denied in a subsequent letter, which you published November 3. in saying 1 ‘did not believe a word of it”? (for which some of the English critics take me to task, cailing the letter discourteous), I meant that [did not believe in any permanent Patmo- crystic Sea or “Sea of anuient ice; tbat f did not be- lieve in any permanent ice barrier, and, in short, did not believe im the general conclusions arrivod at, not deeming the time cousumed in observation suillciont nor the evidence satisfactory. Asto what they reported baving seen and having done, I had no more thought or intention of questioning that than of doubting the Decalogue. I regret that 1 did not have leisure to give @ more full and care(ul discussion of the matter at first. But my fetter of November 22, published tm the Heratp, December 2, however, supplies this deiiciency, as tar as 1 am able to do so. This unkoown party, who sigos himself “An Old Arctic,” **goes”” for we in a very lively fashion, He writes 1n a vein which as much ag says, ‘Go on, gen- tiemen; but if you only did but know who I realiy am you would have nothing furiher to say.’’ He appears to think 1t Would be a serious blow to free discussion U tue secret were out. Jn this country we are in thi habit of taking precious little notice of such write but Chis oue seems to require a litue attention on ac- count of your correspondent stating that as between this unknown party and the undersigned ‘it is a very preity quarre! as it stagus.”?
