The precise date of the cond mastion of © Augueta as oplaver by the Uulted States exrri’s voescls had been judicially con demned as slavers! And now tocome back to CAPEn’s ap praisement. Woopronp felt compelled to repudiate it, and, although it was made by his father.in law, he did not dare to file it. When Woopronp asked Caren how he came to make su°h an appraisement, Cari answored that it was all the vessel was worth. Thie in iteelf showed that CArEN was an ignoramns or @ liar and knave, in- asmuch as she had cost more than twice that sum, and soon afterward sold, ander all the disadvantages of an auction, for more than twice as mach. Even Woopronp, blunt as his perceptions are, saw that this would not do, and he told the old fool who had blundered 60 terribly in his knavery that he musi resign, Caren resigned accordingly. Other appraigers were appointed, who ap- praised the vessel at more than twice the sum, to wit: $3,250 for the vessel, and $1,000 for the cargo—making a total of $4,250. After the ereape of the Augusta she was overtaken and brought back through the ex- ertions of Marshal Munnray. She was con- demned and sold at auction, realizing, even under such disadvantageous circumstances, more than double the sum at which the con scientious CAPEN had appraised her. A large number of sailors who had been en listed in this ** Work of Hell? by Ar. PLETON Oaxemivit and his brother were secured at Fire Island, put in irons, and taken to Fort Lafayette OaksMitit himself was arrested and tried in Boston for equipping a slaver, and con- vieted. He eseaped from the jail, and is now, as ho has ever ince been, a fugitive from justice, He has just now telegraphed over from London an affidavit in favor of his quondam and constant friend Woovronp, which only groes to establish the criminal complicity be tween them, Hels anxious to have Woop- FonD elected Governor; and undoubtedly relies on Woopronn’s influence with the President, in that event, to get a pardon for himself, as he has been anxious, ever since Lis conviction, to return to this country, if he could do go in safety. We do not think it worth while at present to go into any controverted matters—any matters that are in dispute between Mr. Woopronp and Marshal Murray, or Mr. Wooproxp and anybody else. We prefer to take such facta only as are admitted aud sworn to by Mr. Woopronp himself And we ask whether, on this showing there was ever a time, not when Now York the Empire State of freedom, would elect him her Governer, but whether there was ever atime when the great slave-Lreeding State of Virginia would hesitate to spew him out of her mouth ?

Judge SiipMAN is a sort of honest Con. necticut deacon, and probably has little iden what fine fellows—according to his standard —tho Richmond slave-traders were!

As much as Judge Sur an says for Wooprord he might have said for Oakemirit: yet OAKeMITH has been convicted of complicity in the slave trade, in this very case of the Augusta, Judge Sun MAN has not cleared up Woopronn's repu tation, at all; bet has only injured his own, Dy taking part, a8 it seems to us very impr dently, in the ease, —_— Bismarck Kendy to Make Pence, It is reported that Biswancx has intimated to England, Russia, and Austria that Ger. many is now ready for their intervention in Lehalf of peaco, It is enid that the Prussians have come to the conclusion that Paris can only be reduced by a eiege of several months and the exhaustion of its provisions. Accord. ingly it is proposed that a Congressof the great powers shall be held to determine upon what conditions peace shall now be made, We trust that the feport is true, and that the horrors of the war may soon be brought to atermination. Manifestly, nothing could be wiser for the German Government than such a conclusion. Avy other course is full of danger for Germany. f — That wae a curious spectacle which was presented in the Court of Common Pleas on Thursday, when that gen‘lemanly and uncertain genius, Cuaoxcer Siarrenr, who resembles the great Naponeox in his personal beauty, delibe- rately propoted that the Court should adjourn out of respect to the memory of Ronent E. 1 We venture to sey that never before in history has there been any attempt in a judicial tribunal to pay a distinguised honor to a man whose was identified with treason, and with an unsuc- cessful effort to destroy the Government of bis country, The fact, however, shows, in the most striking manner, that the issues of the rebellion are all dead, and no longer stir the passions of the people.
