Crawfordsville Review, Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, 6 April 1861 — Page 2

Tho surprise which this ercnted can scarcely be realized. The Emperor expressed hie astonishment and pleasure without the slightest reservation. An audience was granted, and Mr. llarey was complimented with the announcement that it would be a private one, no person being present not personally related to the imperial household tho consequence was,

the humors of the evening with a hearty ...

abandonment, not only deeply gratified at »llIltia

for the first time introduced to Mr. Rarey's notice. Two peasants, themselves semibarbarous, awed by the presence of the Emperor, and filled with intense fear by tho plunging and rearing of the horse in their charge, with difficulty restrained him from breaking away, biting their flesh, or knocking their braius out with his heels, which at times cleaved the air with fearful velocity, for the infuriated animal, in the insanity of his captivity, absolutely bit at interposing objects, as if he were a tiger. Mr. Rarey, perfectly self possessed, and to the surprise of all present, boldly laid his hand upon his neck, and then passed it gently over the eats, and in a few moments ordered the peasants to unloose their rigorous hold on the ropes, when Mr. Rarey proceeded further to paciftkthe creature. Tho Emperor and the impeml family looked on with amazement, wnich was quite equal to the comical mixture of awe and wonder of the two peasants, and the effect was heightened when the Emperor, half sternly and half playfully asked them, why they could not thus handle the horse?

The poor creatures, thoroughly convinced of the fact, told the Emperor in their Dative tongue that Mr. Rarey was in league with the devil and not in the least relieved of the intense fear of the horse, at least seemed spceohless with astonishment, only competent to wonder whether they would be stricken down by the orders of the Emperor, the necromancy of Mr. Rarey, or tho still, at times, active heels of the horse.

The reforms inaugurated by Mr. Rarey for the treatment of unbroken and intractable horses involuntarily recall the once common torments of the demented of our own kind. But comparatively a few years ago the inBane were confined in damp cells and chained to the floor. Light, air, and food, in pure and proper quantities, were deemed unnecessary. Strait-jackets, manacles, and stocks were in constant requisition. The most ungovernable wore deemed to be possessed of a devil, or to be under the influence of the moon, and they were scourged and tortured to affect a cure. The "maniacal and melancholic" were sometimes even bound on wheels, and revolved round a hundred times a minute but now all is changed, and the law of kindness, in all its well regulated institutions, alone prevails. The horse, next to man, the most usefully intelligent of ereaicd beings, has entered upon a new era for the treatment of his infirmities, and the horrors which once characterized the associations of the insane retreat and Cruiser's den, will we trust, not again, in this enlightened age, be repeated.

Mr. Rarey personally presents none of the qualities of the gigantic gladiator we are wont to picture the horse tamer, entering the lists with a defiant look, and appealing to brute force and physical courago alone for his triumphs. On the contrary, he is a delicatly made, light-haired, self-possessed, good-humored person but just such a one as the keen observer of true bravery knows will grow more calm in tho face of real danger—the type, indeed, of cool courage and great decision. Abroad Mr. Rarey has been every where admired for his very gentlemanly manners and quiet bearing. In these respects the highest arbiters of good taste truthfully and spontaneously testify, that few mcu have been so little spoiled by prosperity, and uone ever carried away more completely the general rcspcct and esteem of those with whom he has boon connected during his eventful English career."

REMAKKAISLK EXCKESKNCK OX A 11 I'M AX BODY.—Mr. Lewis Foot, of Plaiuville, X. Y., aged seventy-two years, died on Monday, the 11th, and on Tuesday an immense bony excrescence, extending from the back of his right ear to his right hip, was removed. It weighs fifty-txeo and a half pounds, and is called by the doctors—skipping their jaw-breaking technicalities— "a degeneration of the shoulder blade.*' It had been growing since 1S50. and did not affect his general health very seriously. The operation was performed by Dr. Jackson, of New York, assisted bv Dr. Moodv, of Plaiuville, Dr. Hart, of Southampton] and Dr. Carrington, of Farmington.

Mr. Foot was at the national convention of medical men at New Haven last year, and the universal testimony was that nothing like it had ever before been seen.

WMUNOTCll. Washington, April 2.

Between tbe opening of the bids for the loan and the election news we have had quite an exciting day. The Republicans are jubilant over the result of the bidding for the loan and their victory in Connecticut. The Secessionists rejoice with them on the last account, on the ground that the election in that State will precipitate matters in the Border States. The Union men find cause for congratulation in the result of tbe municipal elections of your city and St. Louis.

The Southerners here sav that their loan will be taken at as favorable rates as that taken by the Nortnern States. They alledge, also, that the present vacillating pol icy of the Administration will strengthen the South, both financially and otherwise.

Although the Republicans and manyothers are now under belief that forts Sumter and Pickens \fill be reinforced, the Southern Commissioners still say that they have assurances that nothing of the kind shall be done

The Virginians here say that they do not expect any action by the Federal Government in relation to the forts or the collection of the revenue, until after Virginia shall have defined her intention through the State Convention.

I hold to the belief that Sumter will be evacuated, and thaf Pickens will also be left so soon as the military necessity becomes more apparent.

The Southern Commissioners expect advises from Montgomery to-morrow, containing important instructions, upon which they propose to act as soon as the policyis ascertained. They fully expect that Fort Sumter will be vacated this week, and have so advised Davis & Co.

The Spanish demonstration against St.

Domingo

has ken the diplomatists here

entirely by surprise. None of them had the slightest expectation of any such movement. They attribute it soley to the disposition of Spain to extend her possessions. It is believed that this affair will lead this country into complications with Spain, and it is strange to see how eagerly some of our politicians seize hold of a prospect of a trouble with an European power as a means of extracting us from our own.— They assert that a war with a foreign power would be a pefect God-send in the present dangerous civil strif, as it would at once revive the national sentiment in the South, allay the secession fever, and in the end result in a reconstruction of the country.

Mr. Seward is preparing his instructions to the new Foreign Ministers who are to replace our representatives at the Courts of Europe. I learn they are of the most anti-slavery kind, disparaging the Southern Republic, misrepresenting its institutions and ridiculing the idea of its being able to maintain itself.

The President has determined not .to consider any further changes in the diplomatic service until the more important matters which now engross the atttention of the Administration are decided, and it is undcrstoon that a pro rata distribution will be made among the States of these and the Consular appointments.

rnent of the laws," battle history of the party proves quit* the rerane. There never has been a legislative set .pasted, or a judicial decision rendered that has conflicted with their higher law" abolition sentiments that was not spit upon with contempt, and violated with impunity upon all occasions. 4. That the Republicans, in permitting the time for the adjournment of Congress to pass in the present distracted state of the country, without an expression of opinion as to the course to be pursued by the present Administration, betrays a weak, deceptive and cowardly spirit, unworthy the name of American citizens, and one that will meet with the rebuke and condemnation of all honest and conservative people of all political parties. That the principles of the Republican party, is an experiment, fostered by its visionary adherents, uot for the love of country, but for its hatred of the Democratic party, and that experience has proved the utter failure and worthlessness of its principles in every attempt that has been made by its leaders to carry it into practice, either in a Legislative, Executive or Judicial character. 5. Should the North refuse to grant the South the Crittenden amendment, or some equally just proposition as a basis for the settlement of our national difficulties, or attempt to coerce the South by force of arms contrary to the demands of national justice, we will use all the means at our command, either civil or otherwise to prevent such an occurrence. 6. That we look upon Abraham Lincoln in the hands of his Cabinet, as a lump of clay in the hands of the potter," which may be turned into a vessel of honor or dishonor, as the fancy of the turner (W. II. Seward) may dictate, therefore, we regard him with pity rather than contempt.

The Cabinet appear to be divided as to the policy of an extra session. Mr. Seward opposes it, as he is willing to give the new tariff a fair trial, and he fears new modifications will occur that will be of no benefit. Mr. Chase is said to favor it for the opposite reason, and the President is resistible in the right cause, irresistible in inclined to yield to his Secretary of the defencc of herself—she has gone on and

Treasury, for to him he has to look for the sinews of war. The statement that England and France are going to send an armed fleet to the United States is entirely discredited by the Administration.

The War Department is in hourly expectation of the arrival of Lieut. Slemmer at Fort Pickens.

The President is nearly worn out by the constant excitement he has been undergoing for the last four weeks. This afternoon he became so severely indisposed as to necessitate the exclusion of all visitors.

The Richmond Whig has been compelled to yield its Union sentiments before the gradual enchroachments of secession. Robert Ridgeway, a stanch Union man and an able editor, has withdrawn from its control. CLEVELAND.

WHAT 8DALL KENTUCKY DO Mr. Crittenden in his speech before tne Kentucky Legislature on Tuesday, said

But what shall old Kentucky do Our affections are ali clustered upou her. Her peace, her honor, her glory, her interest, are ours. Her character is ours, and a proud heritage it is. I love her with all my heart. I am one of the oldest of her children. 1 have been one of the most favored of her children, and with heartfelt gratitude do I acknowledge it. I can never repay the obligations which I feel I owe to her. What shall Kentucky do —our country—our magnanimous old State—what shall she do in this crisis— trial of our nation's faith ?. Shall we follow the secessionists—shall we join in the experimental government of the South, or adhere to the tried government of the Union under which we live—under which our fathers lived aud died 1 I call upon you to bear witness, as candid, truthful men—do you know of any wrong the government has ever done you Can you name any instance of wrong suffered on account of your connection with the great Union of which you are apart Kentucky herself came into existence under the Constitution—and under the Union that she still clings to. Under its protection she has grown from a handful of pioneers and a few hunters to the noble State that she now is—in every passage of her history maintaining her character for honor and fidelity—for devotion to truth, devotion to the country—seeking at whatever distance, at whatever sacrifice, every bat-tle-field upon wlrch the honor and interest of her country were to be combated for.— That is old Kentucky. Fearing none— feeling herself in power and influence ir-

prospered. Where is the man of Kentucky that fears that anybody will come here to take away our rights from us Our self possession and character are founded upon this conscious ability to defend ourselves—that there is none so bold as to attack us, we being in the right, they in the wrong.

THE PF.NSACOL.4 IHlil,. The Mobile Advertiser gives the following account of this affair.

We have received what wo believe to be a correct version of the late difficulty and duel at Fort McCree, Florida, between St. Clair Morgan, the young South Carolinian, and Mr. Storrs, the young Alabamian, late a midshipman, U. S. N. It seems that on the night of the duel the young men with a number of comrades were off in a boat on a reconnoitering party near Fort Pickens. Morgan, full of reckless daring, proposed that they should land just under the walls of Pickens to make what discoveries they could but Storrs objected, saying that it trould expose them to almost certain capture, and the majority of the party sided with him. But Morgan, hot tempered and impatient, reproached Storrs with timidity. A few words passed between them, and the boat put to the mainland.— When they had disembarked Storrs said to Morgan that he had intimated a doubt of his courage, and as they had rifles, and the moon was shiniug brightly, he could prove it. Morgan responded to this proposition with alacrity. Twenty steps were paced off, and the first fire Morgan fell dangerously wounded, the heavy ball of the Sharpe's rifle having entered his right groin and ranged through and out of the back part of the thigh. An unfortunate affair, indeed, between two brave young men

Morgan, wo believe, is the young man who was connected with Scott in shooting Mr. Govan of Arkansas, on board the steamer New Uncle Sam, between Memphis and Helena, about six weeks ago.

Removal of Troops—Dispatches from Charleston—Anderson's Supplies Cut Off—Lincoln. Accused cf Double-Deal-ing—Troops for the Seaboard—Troops —and Supplies for Fort Pickens —Excessive Excitement—The Southern Commissioners Complain of Honest Old Abe Cheating—A Crisis at

Hand—No Extra Session. WA9EINGTON, April 4. The removal of the troops to-day and reception of dispatches from Charleston have created intense excitement. The following is the copy of one received by a private citizen:

CHARLESTON, Thursday, April 4.—Tbe crisis has at last arrived the patience of Southern men has been completely exhausted and the report of a change of policy from Washington has precipitated action. Provisions to Major Anderson were stopped to-day. Gen. Beauregard is now inspecting the fortifications. Orders from Montgomery for the.commencement of hostilities are hourly expected. The preparations arc all complete.

The deception aud double-dealing of Lincoln and Seward have caused the greatest exasperation throughout the South.

The troops that left here to-day went to Fort Hamilton, New York Harbor. I hear it stated that a force of two thousand men is to be stationed immediately at points on the seaboard within twentyfour hours march of the capital. The war steamers Powhatan and Minnesota have been ordered into service, and will be made ready for sea immediately. It is believed here that the troops and vessels thus put in motion are destined for Fort Pickens, and that they will leave for that post by the end of the week. These sudden movements indicate that the Administration is about to inaugurate a new policy and the excitement hourly increases.

The Commissioners say that they have bad an expressed understanding with the Administration that its policy was to be conciliatory and pacific, aud that in consequence no acta of hostility have been committed at the South. But they now begiu to believe that hostile designs have ail aiong been meditated, and that arrangements have been gradually perfected for carrying them. out. Friends of the Ad-

ministration deny that either President

The President to-day informed several Senators that there would be no extra session called at present.

Dispatch** from Washington to March 80 th give the following items The Cabinet session yesterday was exiled for the purpose of considering the question of the evacuation of Fort Sumter. It seems that Colonel Lamon did not exercise the discretionary power given him by Mr. Lincoln, bnt returned and reported the facts only to tbe President. Tbe whole matter having been left with that officer, he preferred consulting with the Cabinet again before deciding. The report of Col. Lamon, it is said, shows the utter impossibility of reinforcing the fort, and says that if Anderson is not relieved within four days from to-day he will be compelled to march his troops out to prevent them from starving.

heard it positively denied to-day by parties closely connected with the Administration that Fort Pickens is to be reinforced. If the Administration has issued such an order, it ha^ been guilty of the most gross deception toward the Southern Commissioners, as it violates the understanding that the present military status should remain. It is true that supplies in abundance have been sent, but no reinforcement. Notwithstanding the facts, yesterday and last night an uneasy feeling was apparent in official circles, which extended itself all over the city.

I am not able to state the cause suffice it, that many of those who have been in high hope for the last ten clays are considerably depressed this morning. One leading statesman said to me last evening, "I begin to fear that nothing can prevent hostilities between the Southern States and tho Government of the United States." The Southern Commissioners assure all that talk with them on the subject, that the concentration of troops at Pensacola is not for the purpose of attack, excepting all other negotiations fail of a peaceful settlement. If this should prove to be so then they are to take possession of a fort on their own territory.

The news from Virginia continues to depress conservatives. It is admitted by all that the Secessionists are gaining strength every day, and their ultimate triumph is generally conceeded. The secession of Virginia will determine the vote of Maryland, as the people of that State consider their interests inseperablc from those of Virginia. Virginia can go peaceably, but with Maryland it will be different, without an army from the Confederate States to drive out the Federal Government from Washington.

A RieiTTlOT Tfr*. nCKKVB.

The FensacoUt Observer.relates the subjoined incident al the pfbbabls foundation for the ramor stayied fey -the New York Evening Post a few days since, that Fo: Pickens had been assailed:,

One night last week Mr. Dttfs^op*'of the head machinests of the yard^ftKT well known here for his reckless daring, made a visit to Santa Rosa Island to ascertain what was going on at Port Pickens by the light of the stars. He built a decoy fire some distance up the beach, which atracted the attention of the Second Lieutenant at Fort Pickens who, whilst approaching stealthily toward the fire, was arreted ana taken prisoner by Doyle. After a lengthy interchange of views respecting the crisis and a copious drink of Mr. Doyle's good brandy, the prisoner was discharged with leveral 'bricks in his bat' and a high opin* ion of the skill and generosity of his captor. A few evenings thereafter this same Mr. Doyle made another visit to the Island, and by the darkness of the night, actually succeeded in affecting an entrance into the fort for the purpose of spiking the guns but was discovered too early to accomplish his purpose. He was taken before Lieut. Slemmer, to the astonishment of tho whole garrison, who threatened to swing him by the neck for his "treasonable audacity." But Doyle reminding him and the Lieutenant of his kiud treatment of the latter under like circumstances on a previous evening, was spared so painful an infliction, and was simply confined during the night and sent to the Navy Yard tho next morning in charge of a file of men.

Two companies of about 150 men left Montgomery for Pensacola Thursday last.

WENT WORTH'S REMEDY. Long John Wentworth, of the Chicago, Democrat, and Republican Mayor of that city, proposes, as a means of bringing back tho seceded States, that wo should at onco abandon the tariff system, with all its accompanying government extravaganco and corruption, for a system of free trade.— This, he contends, will set the secessionists on their beam-ends at once, compel them to resort to direct taxation to support the heavy expense of their new Government, and created a counter revolution or Union party in those States while, at the same time, it would wind back the confidence and good will of the whole commercial world, which has been so deeply shaken by the Morrill tariff", or bill of abominations.

This is supstantially the doctrine of "Long John,'' and, with the Chicago Times, wo do not hesitate in saying that it is the only real sagacious suggestion which we have yet heard from the Republican party. If such a course were adopted, it would be more terrible to Jeff. Davis than an army with banners." To attempt to end this imbroglio by a civil war is simply foolish, wicked, and unchristian. The hope to collect a revenue from the defacto Confederacy is an idle dream of an empty brain. It can be done neither with nor without civil war. The attempt would fail to accomplish anything, except the loss of our Union, and our blood and trori.'un These facts may be unpalatable to many but they arc as certainly fu-ts, nevertheless. and we are childishly f.• .1 i!i to iirnoi-o or attempt to evade them The 'vernmem is in double peril, 'tod wo inott.'iv meet, the peril like men of sense. 'J'lio Union is in far/ 'severed n-ditf iI!y or wrongfully. W? can never recover the old I nion, except-by making ihe pintle of the Con fed (-rate States tim

of 'h ir

present position and riiithem of safety under tin: f-ame gtivcrrn.-vot with us —this is one point to gain. 1.• ri is still another difficulty By the bl:ie|- 'ariff of 1801 we have not only a'iena'e:! tr.-m us the sympathy of tin- .n.mereia! '.h.'M, but we have opened the door to the So:i:heru politicians io st-ib us io s! ry vi'ais. We have made il ove.rw'ieln.iiiL* tie: interest of the Smith to sfny u: of the Union instead of .staying in. No! only is this iho-4 ease, but it is ui-ole (ho din-":, interest of the Northwest that the South fdmn.il remain out for by the ofcratioii of the present policy of the two govcryioents the importations for over one-h.alf of the North/ including the Northwest, will pass through aud build up Southern ports while the whole people of the Northwest will got their goods at from 20 to lDft per cent, lower than they now do. Thus this Republican tariff, forced upon theeountrv iu the whirl of a revolution, is direct bribe to disunion iu all the agricultural States of the Union, and furnishes the knife to cut the throats of our commercial and business men, and to destroy the very manufacturers wdiom it was intended to protect.

WHOLESAI.I: MAASSACRE.—The Canton Press gives an account, of the capture and massacre of one hundred and fifty-threo Chinese pirates. They were marched at a rapid rate two miles through tho principal street of the city, to the parade ground, where the Mandarins were in waiting, and all beheaded. There were several executioners, who vied with each other as to which should take off the largest number of heads. One fellow succeeded in decapitating sixty-three, for which he waa liberally rewarded.
