THR STANLEY EXPEDITION, Another Letter from Frank Po- cock at Ujiji. A STUBBORN FIGHT. Esoaping from the Hostile Natives of Uturu. THE HORRORS OF SLAVERY. An Attempt to. Explore Lake Al- bert Niyanza. FORCED TO RETREAT. Cau, Lace Taxa. Cunteat Avnica, July 20, 1876, } My Daan Brorusu—It 1s a long time since I ro- Ceived your interesting letter. 1 wus glad to find and to hoar I had such friends that took such an Interest in my wolfare, Your lotter contained words that at the time my tonguc could not thank enough, I banded the lotter to Ted without saying one word—my heart was full—and Ted banded it back to me with tears of Joy in his eyes, and said, “Brother, wo are not for- gotten,’”” Wo wero then in the bush, and all tho let- tera received there were good letters of comfort and joy. But since then I know mothing, That was in November, 1874, Tho countries we have travelled through con- fain some curious people About five or six days after Ted’s death wo had a fight in the country of Uturu—the people, a fine race of men and women, entirely naked, We arrived im. camp in the alternoon. The natives brought food to barter tor beads. Wo and our men made trade ‘with them, and our guide from the neighboring tribe made brotherhood with the Sultan, and all went on well. One of oar mon was left in the road, sick. Ho had a small piece of rod cloth on, through which he Jost his life at sunset that evening. Tho next morning nm were seut back toseck bim, The next day they Teturned and reported that they saw where he was murdered, the footprints of the people in the struggle ‘and a piece of the red cloth, We decided on marching the next morning, but, persuaded by the chief, we stopped. The people were very kind and brought a ballock, 1¢ was killed and eaten before we knew their custom. This is to make friends by giving tho animal, ‘and if certain parts of this are not returned they fgnt But nothing soumed wrong until one of our men was thot in the arm with an arrow, and another was ruo through with aspearand killed) Their arrows wore coming inthecamp. It was timo to defend ouraclves, 4 srcBpoRy FicHT, For four days wo wore fighting ; wo lost twenty-three ‘Menu and ton muskets. But the loss on their sido was great; they bad no guns, but, bravo fellows, they foaght well tor three days; then it grow too warm for them. ‘They were to be seen running to their villages among focks, while a fow hung about close to ourcamp, Our ‘men were very excited, and began sotting fire to their Villages, looting their stores. Parties wero sent to plunder and set fire to the houses; they did so, too, tor our camp was soon loaded with fuod, such as matama Peas, beans, ground nuts, millot, maize, chickens, eggs, Goats, sheep and two bullocks, pomby (beer made of Matama), honey, matama flour, bows, arrows and Spears, On the fourth day, im the eveniug, there was Mone to be seen—notaman! At the first of the fight the savages were as thick as boos in a bivo, and as tust Qs they were shot down they were carriod away. On the morning of the fifth day, about two o'clock, wo Mastered the mon and creptyaway through bush and swamp and encamped in a tort constructed by nuture @s if for shelter tor us, The massive heaps of granite ‘stone on all sides protected our woary bodies trum tho Coht east wind, and all fear was gone, SAvETY, We had found 4 good harbor, The next day wo en- tirety lost the savages, or they had lost us, Soon after Jeaving camp Mr. Stanley saw a road, and this was tho very road we wanted; but the natives would not dis- close the secret of this road from the first, in an our atter finding the road wo came toa river—an arm of the Nile, with a current like a sluice, but nar- row and deep, Wo put two sections of the boat to- gether alter getting a rope across, This was done by aman going far abovo the crossing place; he thus ‘Managed to reach the other sido with a small line, We bent on the boat cable, rove through a coil of wire, and in three hours the whole caravan was on the other side, and in threo days more we reached Magonga Tembo (Elephant Back)—for such is the name of the village, also of the prince, and these few lines are all I can say at present about the skirmish with the Utura, Iam no penman to explain anything with pen and tok, thoroforo | hope you will excuse me for this attempt. If 1 havo the good lortune to come back I can tell you more. Mr. Stanley left here on the 11th of June to explore the lake, and bas not returned yet. I bave been sorry a thousand times I could not see you before leaving home, but I hopo to see you oa some fine day in May, 1877, 1 little thought of having such a journey as this when you lolt us at the factory. Clittle thought that Ted suid “Goodby,’’ then, for tho last time; but Goa’s will be done! 1 have no doubt bis death wae felt at home very much by all; but what must I have felt to leave a brother in such a country that wo daro not say our heads wore our own for an dour? DEATH OF TED POCOCK. ‘The natives wore around us hke wolves the night be died, thinking something was amiss; but they could Rot find out bis grave. We had to bury him in tho dark ander a nambu troo in the camp; Mr, Stanloy per. formed tho service, with the Wangouna kocoling @round him, But the next morning we heard no moro the sound of Tod’s bugie—!t wus gone, aud Qhat was very sad. Our people were awak- sued to fresh day’s toil and trouble by @ nativo’s muffled drum instead, In Me time of “Mabruki’’—such was my brother's African name—bis moruiny bugle call was always loud and strong, and many smilos from the Wangnana Breoted him, tor he was the favorite of allin cam; Even now [ olten hear tho people of an evoning, sit- ting around tho camp fire, talk of “Bana Mabruki,’' What a merry feliow be was, U Harry is married 1 bope he won't forgot this poor Castawuy; truly custaway we are irom the world. No White face to be seen, but ull biack aud savage. My dear brotnor, | hope you aro not at a loss for some one to mako your strcet lively at night There is pionty of noise here at night, though different from the uoise at home, Here | heur always tho roar of the sea on the shore of wild Tangwoiku, or some poor wretch screaming for mercy who is boing beaten by a slave dealer. SLAVERY, In my opinion they think ita fine deed to beat a poor, ill-fed woman, with a child sucking at her broust. Tho cruelty carried on here ts droudiul to look at und to bear of. The Wali of Ujiji only a tew days ago pub & poor creaturo two doath for staying im the folds alter Work was ovor. He thought that sho wanted to desert He ouly thought so. The Arubs como to our house and ask me ull sorts of things about the slave trado, and wantto kuow why do the English try 10 put down the slave trade. “They ome as ‘Cagland to boast of. But, my dear brother, wo will return to another subject. MARCUISG TO va:31, We lett Karagwo on March 25, and arrived bere ou May 2?—-a very long march, with buta short time to doitin, Where we shali goto from here! must iv- form you ta another letter, but we bope to reach one Coast or the other very soon, On arriving here | was seized with dysentery. | got over that and | was theo seized with tover, which nearly euded my days; but Bo, my time was not come; for by the hand of Provi- dence | got well, and nero | ain, without bardly a shoe ich to tread the scorched, burning soll of Africa, at} hope to pull through and reach bome tn about Nay, 1877, and then if the cottage has some liquor we ink health to tho Stanley Expedition. Are all Wollat home? 1 often think of you all, and that is the most I can do, There are no merry iollows here, nove of those laughing faces I have so often seen, no kind mother or father, or sister or brother, Batallis for tho best I wish not to return until enough work is done to repay our toils and troubles and those who sent us, The slaves tn Ujiji are the most degraded class and the most wretchod I have secn in Africa, Thoy are ill-fed and beaten, eaten up alive with itch and scurvy, and they are driven like cattle to work in the flelds and to build houses. If such work docs not want help from the English it 18 not wantod at tho coast or any- where, Thon, again, the barbarous deods carried on with the natives, ‘Tax WITCH DOCTOR. Mf a fine lad org fine young woman dies some one is supposed to have bewitched him orher, The tribo is mustered amid clouds of smoke froin & wood fire under large tree, then an old wizard man comes to the crowd, who bas just omerged from the thickots of some hill, where be says ho bas had communica- tions with the Sun or Moon, Ali are seated on the ground and silent The old man is dressed in a fine tiger’s skin, with the teeth hung on his neck, which they say contain bis power of witchcrait, te mixes acortain kind of herb, and they all urink, and he goes off ina swoon, When he recovers all look cageron him to seo who killed their son or daughter, By this time the witen toa, us I call It, takes effect, aud whoever this affects most is the cul- prit, and is despatched with knives into cternity. Do these people not need some light? ‘For all the land iw foul with monstrous wrong and desolation of the sons of hell.’” Then, again, the Wangoana—meaning free people— are, haif of them, slaves of Arabs. Although they know white men, and know there is a God, and know and bave seen the coast, ships and different things, yet they aro noarly aa wicked and ignorant as man can be, NATIVE SUPERSTITION, ‘They bolieve in all kinds of witchcraft, buy and sell tlavos, and many of them are slavos themselves, In the evening one will assert ho knows of a village in such a country wherc a man can turn himself intoa tiger, and kill all the people that make groat modicine 80 as be should be tho great doctor. Such is tho talk around the camp fire. We left the Victoria Niyanza and travelled through Uganda, and on January 1, 1876, ‘wo entered the country of Unyoro, totally unknown to any European oye, Wo travelled on for soveral days, not seeing a single person. They had gone to earth, for thoy are liko rabbits, and they live chiefly under- ground, In time of war they put their cattlc and ‘women underground while the men fight, They have large dogs, which they train to fight. They also dig elephant pits, and holes to catch mon, Several of our Men were caught in thom and went out of sight, but by screaming loud were hoard and pulled out, LAKE ALBERT NITANZA. On the 11th day we reached within sight of tne beau- titul Albert Niyanza, HereI was taxen with a severe fevor. Wohad travelled with an escort of 2,000 mon, sent by Mtesa, King of Uganda, and if they could have found a peucoablo district for us to build our camp we should have waited for the other white men; bat there ‘was no place to build, aa wo did ut the Victoria Ni- yanza while Mr. Stanley explored the lake. On the 12th meu were sent in all directions to find a camp and Teport, in the oventng thoy returned and told us that thero was no peaccable place to be found and that the villages all around wore full of armed men, ‘THR RETREAT, The Unyoro came to tho Wagunda camp (just within hearing) and asked, *‘What do you want here? Why havo you brought tho white mon here for, but to kill us? To-morrow wo will fight.” There were many thousands about us waiting for us to go down to the lake and then come down on ua Wo saw the Wagando would desert us, therefore if wo did not agree with them weshould have perished by the hands of the Unyoro, 80 wo returned to Uganda and from there to Karagwa, # My doar brother, I connot explain all this with pen and ink. My words are all huddied together, so that 1 don’t know which is put down first; but I must tell ‘you in person when I come home. I can asaure you [ am longing to see you all You must tell all and show them the letter. Icannot writetoall, Tell * * * and all the girls not to be down-hearted, for I am coming when little expected, and if tne cottago ts still in the wood wo will givo it a good African warming.

The last trace the detoctive obtained of the unfortunate gentioman was at the market, corner of Forty-fourth street aud Filth avenue, where, on Tucsday, he gavo an order for provisions, New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City were in vain sourched for some tidings of Mr. Daly‘s movements, WIS APPKAKANCK IN NEWTOWN, L. 1. On Wednesday last @ gentleman, who is now known to be Mr, Daly, appearod on foot at a litilo hotel at the junction of the old Astoria road aud Tompkins avenue, distant about threo miies cast of Long Island City, on the road to Newtown. Ho stopped at the little hotel, which is kept by Walter Bowres, who combines with this busipess that of undertaker to Coroner Garland, of Wost Flushing, At the hotel ar. Daly remained for several hours, and spent much of the time walking up and down the veranda, Tho Joungers about this tavern noticed that the man’s mind seemed to be wandering, but when he asked tho undertaker for a glass of lemonade and drank it ho couversed quite rationally. Toward night ho disappoared. About eight o'clock on the following (Thursday) morning bo again ap- peared at tho undertakers saloon, and for some time promenaded the veranda in an absent- minded manner, swinging a little ewitch carolessly, as he strode from one end of it to the other, and stared vacantly out over the open country that atrotched way toward Laurel Hill. About hulf-past nine be Jeft, no one observing what direction he took, THE PINDING OF THE BODY, It was by the merest accident that the body was dis covered yesteriay in the house, as already stated, George Boywoll is a painter at Laurel Hill, in the town ofNewtown, Yosterday being a fine day, in company with a friend, ho started out for a walk along the Astoria road, which is tho dividing line betweon the corporation of Long Isiand City and the town of Newtown. Arriving at the ono story and attic house that stands back from the road about fiity feet, and which has not been occupiod for over a year, curiosity prompted them to enter, On the mantelpioce in tho front room of the first floor thoy were surprised to discover a fine silk hat and ao collar, This led them to ascend the stairs to tho attic above. After passing along the hall they suddenly turned into the rear room, and there, hanging to the door, with his fect and a portion of the body resting on the floor, wero the lifoless remains of a vouerable gentloman, aged about fifty-five years, whoso dress indicated that ho movod in the apper walks of life. Tho men were 100 much alarmod to take in the entire situation, but they noticed near his foot a six chambered pistol and oar his head a largo pool of blood, a1. wor the door jamb acmaller one. Tho annexed diagram will botter explain the position of the door, the body, the pistol and tho pools of blood, two in number:— A—Supposed position of the door when shot was fired, B—Position of door when body was found. s —Where pistol was found, DD— 18 of blood on the floor, THR THRORY OF THK SUICIDE. Mr. Boywell at onco hurried to Newtown and noti- fied Constable John Hart, who returned with him to the scene of the suicide, Moaowhile word had been sent to Coroner Garland, who, boing a county coroner, has jurisdiction over cases occurring within the limita of Long Isiand City. OMlcer Meagher, of Long Island City soon alter arrived, and a little before noon the Corover appeared as weil, From the muto evidence of the body and garments {t 18 ovident that tno demented yenticman bad taken a white pocket Dandkerchief aud arranged a noose init, which ho pluced around his neck, and then, looping his sus- Penders torough this novse, be bad attached the sus- nders to the top vl the door and thus arranged for 18 Oxit into eternity. Near tho wall, not tar trom the dotted line which’ 1# supposed to ‘bo the angle oa which the door ood =when he swung him- self off, was 4 pool of blood, about nino inches circumieronce. ‘Tho must reasonabio theory of those who yesterday mado a critical examina- | tion of the premises is that Mr, Duly, to make bis death doubly certain, shot himself after arranging his gal- jowa. It is Nkely that when the door stood on whe point indicated by the dotted line he #hot himself im | the right tomple, whero it was found, and that blood from this wound was deposited at ono of the puints marked C, pear the wall; that as ho became faint from Jory of bivod of strangulation and his feet gave way beneath him the weight of bis body forced the door K to the live mnurked B, aod that as the sespenders stretched bis head fell outward over tho larger pool of | blood that probably oozed {rom the wound in the head, THK KBMOVAL OF THE BODY. About noon, by order of the Vorone were removed io the undertaking pr Bowner, above mentioned. Meantime Mr, Bownes, with an eye to business, bo county undertaker, hurried to this city and notitled Mr. Jumes Daly of the finding of the body, Mr. Daly, accompaniou vy hig sister, proceeded to the place 'and fully identified the pains as those of their father, The search by tno Coroner resulted im tinding upon the body 4 valua- Die gold watch and chain, with two five dollar aad one one dollar gold proces attactied to the latter, an@in a wallet two five dollar vills and a one dollar bill tn cur- rency.

It ts said that some time ago he was slightly embarrassed, but re- cently has been slowly recovering bis lost round, and hada bright prospect be- jore shim. =Mr. Duly was some years ago engaged in the distillery business in California, where ho amussed a large fortune, which enabled bim to make large ventures in uniinproved real estate in this city. While in Culifornia his tine executive abilities enabled him to organize a number of gold mining com- panies, und he wis noted for his honorable dealings with all who bad transactions with him, Coming hero with about $500,000 he engaged in tho distillery business with his brother, William H, Daly, apd with Olcott & Co. in the bonded warehouse business. Later, with his brother, he orgunizea the Virginia Coal Company; but some two years ago he retired from active business, Among the firstof his Foal estate ventures was that of x block on tho Boule- vard, botween Sixtieth and Sixty-first strects, uso ust to bisdaughter, His next importuns specu. ation was the lung from 3 nds, Goe the block upon which the Windser Hotel wi and later disposing of the lease of all but that portion covered by the hotel. Tho hotel cost nearly $1,000,000, oud Mr. Daly was forced tuo borrow large sums from Mr, Goelet and others, In the fure nishing bo had to borrow from members of bis family about $400,000, and being turther pressed he orgun- ized the Windsor Hotel Stock brag N with bimeelf und members of his fumily the, nolders of all the stock. Recently this property| bas yielded from $60,000 to $65,000 above expenses to the stockholders, ‘There aro still somo mortgages on the property, but so well was Mr. Daly managing it that $270,000 was cancelled during the present year. Some time ago he purchased a block on the Boulevard, between Sixty- third snd Sixty-fourth streets, which he sold, but recently repurchased, clearing » good margin, He was interested ulso in Bergen Potnt property, but not to such an extent as to seriously embarrass him. The strain upon his system by the management of so paren catate ta believed to havo unseated Mr, Duly’s mind. - MISSING PEOPLE, Louis Lemborg, a German, aged twenty-eight, is re. ported missing sinco May 3 He ta five toet nine inches in height, of medium build and had dark brown hair, small mustache and whiskers, John G.

A Dissolving View of Statesmen, Soldiers, Fashion and Beauty. Orrawa, May 1, 1877, There aro few scenes associated with the adminis tration et public affairs in the Dominion or that are more typical of the respect which the people entertain jor what may be called the lormulitics of government than the ceremonics which attend the opening and Prorogation of Parliameot In the Upited States the beginning of a Congress is almost severe in ite sim- plicity. In Canada, on the other hand, you every- where soea kina of horeditary recognition of a su- Prowme presence—un essence of power that 1s at once tangible and yet not groatly different from that which exists across the border, save in tho observunce of those courtly customs which have become traditional in their descent from feudal times, The ceremonies alluded to are invariably the same from year to year, A STRIKING CKREMONIAL. The Parliament has been summoned to meot at three o’clock, and the Commons assemble with the Speaker in the chair, Of tho 2 members nearly overy one will be punctually preseat, Thore is a buzz of conver. sation, and, independent of all political differences, no matter how beated has been the preceding canvass, an intermingling of (rievds and colleagues that is at once earnost and hearty in its warmth, Suddenly three heavy knocks aro hoard at the door of the main cntrance, and ou tho instant all other sounds are hushed. fhe hand- some Sergeant-at-Arins, in full evening dress, begloved and wearmg at bis side u rapier, announces, “A message from His Excellency the Governor General,"” Acid a deep silence the Speaker replies, “Admit the messenger.” The Sergeani-at-Arms then shoulders tho maco—a richly gilded emblem of Her Majesty tho Queen’s presence, which always lies on the tablo in trout of the Speaker and clerks when the House is in actual session—and admits a gentioman whos offi- clally known as the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, The latter, who is attired ina bandsome cos- tume and carries as an insignia of his office a small ebony stick, advances, bows solomnly to the Speaker (who raises bis cocked hat) and in the name of His Excelloncy requests the presence of the Commons to the Sonate Chamber, Thé request being mado once tn Knglish and, according to custom, again in French, the Usher bows gracofully—in ao style, by tho way. that the American ladies would describe as ‘‘perfectly killing’ —ard backs slowly out of tho chamber, Tho membors now louvy their seats; the Speakor and Cierk and two clerks assistant, ull robed in silk gowns and weariag light gloves, put on ‘their cocked hats; the Sergeant-at-Arms shoulders the maco und the Assombly marches solemaly to the bar of tho Senate, IN THE SENATE CHAMBER. The spectacle becomes one of singular beauty. The soit light flowing into the great chambor through tho richly stained windows und bathing pillar aud cornice und fretwork ip rainbow tints; the rich carpet, with its figures ot fleur-de-lis harmonizing with the hoavy 4 canopy that overbungs the gildod chair of the Governor Genoral in his maguiticent uni- nd decorated with the several orders of his no- bility aud rank; the sturdy Premier standing by bis side, plam, but looking “‘overy inch a man;”’ the mem- bers of tho Cabinet, aldes-de-camp in tholr brilliant Fegimentals, . military officers and deputy heads of dopartments, all grouped in picturesque confusion ; the Chief Justice and Judges of the Supreme Court in thelr robes of crimson and ormine, occupying crimson seats 1inmediately in front of the throne; the Chaplain and clerks in their gowns of silk, the dignitied Lincs of Senators facing oach other op the respective sides of tho chamber, the throngs of ladies in evening dresses, representing the fagbion and beauty of the capital, chief among whom is Her Excellency the Countess Dufferin, and the packed galleries and sea of laces strong and bandsome, and tn the men marked with peculiar fadividuality—all these constitute a picture that ts not easily describod or forgotten, Tho Speaker and his clorks having approached the bar, the Governor General removes his but 1 recognition of the presence of the Commons of Canada, in obedience to his constitu. tional request. His Excellency tben proceeds to read bis speech in clear, audible tones, and the announcement Of the programme of the work of the session becomes at once the froight of every thought. When the Eng- lish version 18 finished the Governor Genoral repeats the sume in Freneh, in pursuance of the constitutional jo uow moro than a century old, which preserves tho use of the #rench language in all Canadian legisiation affecting the Province of Quo- bec. Tho specen being nished, the secretary of tho Governor General hands a written copy to the Speaker, who then bows aud retiros tu the Chumber of tho Com- mona Here, Parliament having been tormully opened, the first proceeding 1s almost invariably the presenta: tion to the House of certificates and reports relating to elections which huve been neid during tho reced® New members are then introduced and take their seats, tho bocessury outh having been previously administered 1m tno office of the Clerk, Leading members of tho government and opposition generally introduce their Fespective friends, who are loudly cheered by one party or the other. As a rule little butiness 1s done on THK YIRST DAY OF TUR SESSION In the evening a drawing room reception is held io the Senate chamber, when members of the two houses, with their wives and daughters, have an opportunity of being presented to the Governor General and Lady Dufferin, who stand for hours on the dais of the throno and return the bows of « steady stream of ladies and gentlemen, all of whom of course appeur in y costumes. And go ends the formalities incident to the beginning of Parliamentary labors; and so begin: wason of hospitality aad pleasure, m which all citizens and members, following the generous ex- ample of Lord Duilerin, vie with each other in making the stay of tho stranger o pleasure and « memory. Speaking of this 1 am informed that aithougn tho sulary of the Governor General 1s $50,000 4 your be spends nearly twice that sum iu giving princely entor- tainments and distributing prizes of plate and modula totne deserving young people of Canadas, And 1 is needless to add that these bave made his name synonymous of all that is libera, largo hearted and magnanimous throughout the Dominion, There is nope who can Oli his piace when another yone rolig around und he takes his departure, per- aps to occuvy @ wigher sphere asthe Viceroy of India, and thore 1s not a toyal heart but will boat with regret at his toss, The ceremony of prorogation 4s one thi ayS auticipated with pleasure This of the present sessior, which, com- i je 8th of February, hus drugged ite weary length along until thu last of April, to the in- finite annoyance of a majority of tho et nt bills, as well ensued on eri the House proper been unusually Pressing, but the commitice work has alse been of aa Unusual and fatiguing charactor, The following will show the comparative jeugth of the different ses- sone of the Third Parliament; — douse Met, March — 26.

SAD BESULTS OF INJURIES FROM A RUFFIANLY SAILOR—A PATRIOTIC RECORD DURING THE WAR—HOW THE REBEL ADMIRAL SEMMES WAS OUTWITTED—SKEICH OF AN OLD NEW ENGLAND CHARACTER, Cuan estowx, Mass., May 5, 1877. A cable despatch received by his relatives in this city, this morning, conveys the sad intelligenco of the violent death of Mr, Henry Sawyer, tor tho past twenty-three years Consul of the United States at Paramaribo, in the colony of Surinam, South America, The timmediate cause of his death was au injury re+ ceived a fow days before at the hands of a ruManly sailor, of whom, 1n his official capacity, Mr. Sawyer had been called upon to tako unpleasant coguizance, Tho sailor struck him a violent blow with his Ost and otherwise maitreated him, inflicting such internal injuries as to result in hemorrhage and death, 4 PATRIOTIC RECOKD, Mr. Sawyer, who was filty-one yoars of age, had held the position of Consul at Surinam for nearly a quarter ofacentury, baving been appointed from this vicinity by the late Presidont Pierce in the carly days of hia administration, Although ho was absent from his na- tive land during the war of tho rebellion performing the duties of his office, which at that timo were moro than ordinarily arduous, he loyally stood up for the integrity of the Union while surrounded by u popula. tion altnost cntirely in sympathy with tho South, To first actot Mr. Sawyer at the outbroak of the rebol- Non, in 1861, was to tender to the government the amount of his yearly salary, to bo used toward maine taining its authority over tho whole country. Tho loyal offering was not accepted, but its dechipation was accompanied with the gravetul ucknewiledgments of tho goverament iu an autograph letter of President Lin- coln. 4 REDKL COMMANDER OUTWITTED. Atthe time that Semmes was in command ofthe robel privateor Sumter he put in wt Surinam tor coals and supplics, Mr. Sawyer, true to bin loyal inetincw and patriotism, immediately exerted himself to place all the obstructions possible in the way of Semmen? purchase, und abrewdly and quietly bought up all tha ‘coul 1n the city, 80 that the rebel commander was un- able to got a lump, A planter offered to furnisn Semmes with a quantity of coal which he had on hia, premises, & seushore estate, Whereupon Mr. Saw- or immodiately hired ail the scows, punts and ts im the harbor, so that tho rebel captain was obliged to uso his own boats to coal up with, The consequence of Mr. Sawyer’s activity was that Somes was detained jo harbor tor upward of a week, whercas be had intended to remain only a fow hours. In tho meantime the patriotic cou- sul hud despatched @ messuze to a United States steamer thou lying at Cayenne, which could have easily captared the Samtor aud Semmes, and prevantod tho ravages afterward committed upon American mer- chant Vessels by the Sumter and Alabama under the nuted rebel’s command. But the cowardice or treachery of the commander of the United States steamer uliowed the Sumter to escape to soa again, and the commander was subsequently cashiered for his conduct, For his officient bebavior in this matter Mr. Sawyer was the recipient of a very cordial letter of thanks trom Abrabain Lincoln, TAKING M18 CHANCKS IN THK DRAT, When the drutt was ordored tor men to ill up tho armies in the field Mr, Sawyer wrote to Me. Wiliams, City Clerk of Charlostown, requesting to have his namo added to the citizens subject to bo dratted for miliary duty, stating that if bis uame was drawn ho should either serve in person or furnish w substitute, His naine Was oot drawn, but he furnished a iull company of 123 men from the colony of Surinam and puid their passage to Boston, und mairy of thom enlisted ag a purt of the quota of Ctiarlustown. Many of these men were old soldiers of tho Crimean war, and all wore loyal to the Union cause. MR, BAWYER’S PAMILY.
