At premt, we have a word to siy about Mr. SnriD, who marugi our foreign affair. ' Tbe publication, by Conres.of Mr. Skicaid's official lipatche , to our EnbaaJor abroad, haa develop! some disgraceful opinions. In writing to Mr. Adam, accredited U England, ander date of February 17, lf"62, Mr. Siwaid is evidently apologizing for lite noii-iaauin;; of a proclamation of negro" emancipation, whirh no duubt Adam, true to hin Abolition inuincta, had urged upon the AdmitiMtration. Mr. Siwaao and the President were, at that early day, caa tiouly feeling their way for the rocIamatioo of September iKJ, and 31 r. Seward thus encourage the Erufoalor to hope for an "emancipation cruse." The following language i worthy of the wiley New Votk Senator. He tell Adam Wh it I the operation of tlie war? Welue entere-1 v irciitu.and aire wit nvetliouaaiiual.ivM em incipate! ".imply by the appearance? of our forces, are upi)ii the hindi of the federal (lor ernmeit there. We lure landed on tlie coast of Bomb Cindint, and nlready nine thousand hi mi larly emmcipited live tun; upon our camp Although tlie war lit not been wan: against at very, v et the army acta immediately as an emancipating crusa.le. To prm-laiin the cruade 14 uiinere irv, and it would even be in etprd ent, bratie it would deprive of ti e in-fslful and legitimate up;iort of the friend of the Union who are not opposed to aUtery, but who prefer Ui'iou without alarery to disunion with KMTer?. I) e Fr.mre or doe Oreit Uritaln want to pee a Aocul revolution here, with all its horror, like the slive rcvo'ution in Sr. Dominzo? Are thoe power cure tlMt tlie country or the world S.4rir e for uch m revolution, o ih-it it niul icilainlj be aucce44ful? Whtt, if inauRuratinj; men a revo lution. alavery. rotelins g;,,jt it? ferocity an iuhumintly, should prove the n tori Who a it th' Adminii'lra'juii ' fiUe to huoi.tn freedom? I) c4 it not acki wk!e the citizen ship an well m ihe manhood of men without re ect to color? No crufty diplomat from RtrntLici down to SawAap ever wrote hidden word of deeper dia grace th m tho-e. He tells of the thousand o tave which "hin? vnwn our camp;." and he eure not if they belonj to loyal mmter. "AI though," says he, "the war has not been wafJ against slavery, yet the army acta immeliately as n emancipation crujuie." "To proclaim the cru.4ade," conti.iue Mr. Seward, "ia unneces ary, and it would even be inexpedient, becaue jt would deprive us of the needful and legitimate support of tbe friends ot the Union wbo are not opposed to slavery," ic. The tuetnin of al this is very plain: The border slave State, and tho?e who are not Abolitionists in the free States, tnu4t not be shocked ar.d disgusted by a proc. mation, but the army is to carry out an " emancipation erusade!" In other word.4, the gallant oUlicrs who flew to arms to uphold the Union and preserve the Uovcrnment as it was made by their fathers, were turned into ft band of Aboli tioniata at the bidding of thiü Administration! Th'u was the programme in February, lr-C2 But thit process was too slow the army did not like the dirty job and that fact hastened the unwise and disgraceful proclamation of September last. It was the last dopernte chance to secure the darling object of Mr. Skwaid'a hopes. At the risk, of n the "neeltul" support of the bonier ulave St.ites, and the "up;nrt of the friends of the Union who are not opposed to slavery," thia expetivnt w rHrted to, and the proclamation came upon the country like a clap of thunder from a clear tky. Mr. tStwAur proceeU to reason with Mr. Adam, and, like a true Yankee, he ak a dozen questions. Thee rjue'tion are lull of meaning lie begins thus: "Does France or does Great Hrilaiti want to see a social revolution here, with all ita horror, like the slave revolution in St. Domingo?" In other word, do they want a priH-l million of emancipation, like tint of Sep tember iMl? adoiittiu, by logical inferent-e, thit such proclamation would bring .iboul tle "horrors." And then, to make himself thoroughly understood, he asksi and a-k. it in cold blood: "Are thoe powers (France and Kngl.md) Hire that the couutty or the world is ripe for such m revolution. m that it must certainly be uciesful? Wht, if inaugurating Puch it rcvolutiou, slavery, protecting against its ferocity and inhumanity, fhould be the victor?" ThereV the rub! Will a slave insurrection, "like that of St. Domingo," "with all its horrors," be certainly successful in the South? Cn Mr. Ada and "theae Towers" answer that iu the affirmative? Mr. Skward does not Und aghast and appalled at the horrors of ft slave Insurrection liko, that of St. Domingo at the murder and deti'ement of women, and the butchery of children of a kindred race; but he coolly ak. ia Mr. Adams and the.-e Powers ure that auch ft revolution mut te certainly succeful? .The success, and not the atrocity of th heute, was the jwint to le decided in the pious mind of the Secretary of Stale. And then, if the South, "prote-ling against the ferocity and inhura n.it " of the Adminiütrition, 'Should prove the v tor" oh! tint would be wor-e thin all. And this 14 diploiutcy! Th;4 the fruit- of our fir-t civil war! We hare never read three dozen line more full of col J blooded deception and audacity ttnn the extract given finm Mr Scwabd's dispatch to Mr. AiAVS. qtnttxl aln)ve The hi.- trv of American diplomacy, thank God! hate no parallels to it. We question if the letter of any civilired Premier in Europe can be found so larking in the elements of a Christian civilization. - They are poaitlvely unworthy cf hia billterto high character.

From what we learn of jur own Ohio citietis who have been incarcerated in tie priMju atCnip Cf a-e fr what the AbolitionieU are pleased to call political ofTen-e, we have tifcome .iti?fieil that it is due the honor of state to at once de maixi a reformation there. If the history of thit prisou is ever written, it w llca!t a repro tch upon Ohio and her citizen which they ought at Once to repili'tte. The Democratic party, epeci illy, should not let ita burning barbarities, crime, and even tor turea, real upon ita rhouMers. We and our paper were long lince excluded from even a peep into that bloody Baatile, and we are, therefore, not re Spoosiblfl for its crimes, Inioiitiea and barbari ties. We probibly never fhoulJ have ktioan or heard of it, had not several of our own citizen been thre to bring forth the horrid tale of woe and ufferintf. We speak wholly of the political prison, the priMn of state, as we know nothing whatever ol what occur in tho priaon where ,-retels taken in arm are kept, that is, "the pn-onera of war. It mut not be furottcn that there has been from sii to t-eveu hundred olitical plotters at Camp Chaae at a time; and although sever! hun drcil have been lately disch ired without trial, there are yet theae wime lour hundred one or two hirjdred of thee hive arrive! thete within a few days pat from Kentucky and etern irginia. TheJ'e m'H are taken from their homes, some from their bed. at night, some from their houe in daytime, und a K'Jl many of them are picked up in their tielda at work, and never suffered to ee their fami'ie lefire being spirited oil' to Ohio and incarcerated iu thia celebrated liastile, which will soon b; as famous as Olmutz it elf. Our Oliioans are put into the same pri.-on with these men from other States, and ftom them we have leirned some (acts which the people of Ohio ouhl to know. Many of the.e men have been kept in this prison lor over one year, a great many lor five, six, s-even and eight mouth, with out even seeing outiIe, or b-ing allowed to com niunicate personally with anv one, not even wife, child, father, mother, or stringer. They are furnished with nothing but a sinule hi irtket, even the-e cold nights, unless they are able to purchase additional comforts w ith money they may be able to command. Alnnv are poor men, and unable to purchase; they wcro not per mitte! to bring along a change of clothiu?, and many had on when ceixed nothing but summer wear, and th.it has Income iikhy, worn out, and scarcely haniza uuou their hacks. They have no bedding, and are, therefore, compelled to sleep on the bate boards. They h ive not enough wood furni-hed t keep flies up all niht, and hence the suffering is intensirieil by tlie cold weather. If they attempt, after night, to walk out in the yard to take oflT the chill. of the Ireary night, they are instantly threatened to be shot by the guards, as ordered by tho-e iu command. Dr. Allen, of Columbiana county, Ohio, said he la'hl on a bare board until his hips were black and blue. The wood furnished them is four foot long, and they are compelled, each mess, to chop it up for themselves, and, the provisions being fuinishcd raw, they have to cook it for themselves. Recollect, always, that these are the political prisoners, against whom no one appears as accuser, and no trial is permitted. The prison h as become filthy awfully so and the rats are in droves. If the prisoner attempt to kill one of these rats, they are forbidden, and threatened w ith being shot instinlly. Uecollect. always, as we said atove, the.-e are political pris oners, against whom some malicious negro! worshiper has created a suspicion of disloyalty. but whose turac is kept secret, and bence there can be no trial. The prison is perfectly alive with lice, and no chance is given to escape the living vermin. A dead man, one of the prisoners, was the other day carriel out to the dead yard, and laid there over ni;: hi. and when visited in the morning by the other prisoners, who heard theie was h dead man there, they found the hair on his htnd stiff with lice and nits the lice creeping into his eyes in great number, and. as he lay with his mouth oen, the lice were thick crawling in and out of his open mouth. Not long f-ince two of the prisoners got into a sruflle in trying their strength, and finally into a fiht, as was snp'msed, and several other prison ers rushed to part them, when the guards from the lookout atove tired on them, killing an old m m a . uy tue name oi Jones, irom extern lugiin i. and a ball grazing the skull of another, he lell. and ic was uppoed at firt he was killed also another of the balls passed through a l ird at the heid of a sick man in the hospital, nud only es oped him by a lew inches, i he two men in the scurtle were not hurt. e migni go itirtner, nut loal Knows tins is enou:h for onct . It is enough to mAe one's b!onl iuu cold to think ot it. Now if anv one doubts ihis if the authorities at camp or al the Slate Hou-e doubt it, if the Legislature when it meets will raise a committee. we promise to name the witnesses who, if pent for, will, under o ,th. prove all this, and a much more, sonic of whirh is too indecent to print in a newspaper for tlie pnblic ear. e do not bring the.-e thinp to light for any other purpose than an art of humanity, of re sped for the lair fame of Ohio, and to direct pub lie attention to them that the brutal authorities of that camn mar have justice done them. The Commandant of the camp is himself a member of the Oliio House of Representatives. He will no doubl appear en the rirst Monday of Jantiarv to like hisse.it. Lei him answer to his peers on that tloor let him answer to his constituents who ele ted him let ivm answer to the whole people of Ohio, if he dare, whether these things are to or not. Heaven be blessed if anv modification cm be put upon these transactions anv excu of the mot trivial nature, by which the fame ot Ohio may be vindicate! from the crime and stigma which otherwise m;t go down to all time upon the pages of our history. m a The Xew Jcraey l,cgllulurr and an Ariuttire.

Disgraceful Affair near Kaalivllle The 30th brigade. Oeneral Dumont'a division of General Hosecrans' army, encamped at Harts ville, Tennessee, was surprised on the 7th inst bv John Morgan; and, after a short fiuht, sur rendered Morgan capturing the camp equipage, supply trains and two guns, and destroying what he could not carrr awav. The brigade consisted of the 104th Illinois, 106th and lOtthOhio infantry , Nicklin's battery and a small detachment of the 2d Indiana cav airy. The loss was about sixty killed and wounded. A special dispatch states that part of the force fought well, but a portion broke and ran. We expressed our utter disbelief of all this in the Journal, of yesterday; bui it is true, miserably truo It was a most wretched business. It is enough to make an honest patriot sick at heirt. We suppose the prisoners will be paroled, and we trust there will bean immediate and searching in vestigation of the conduct of all concerned. The base cowards and miscreants, who, with their country's honored livery upon their recreant backs' "broke and ran" or surrendered unneces sarilv to the rebels, liould be made the scorn and derision and abhorrence of the world. As the nightcap nuuishmeni inflicted the other dav bv (Jen Koecranr. in the street of Nah ville, doesn't seem to have accomplished all that w as expected ot it, it should be tried again am more tnorougniv. l ne miserable poltroons in the Hartsville affair should be first marched in old women a nightcaps through all the Nashvil'e streets to the music of fife and drum, then marched in their nightcap all the w.iv on foot to (J imp Chase and compelled to stay there with no other head gear than their nightcaps during the wir, and then released only upon bond and security to wear theit n'ghtcaps the re-t of their lives. No disgrace can be too severe lor the soldiers who disgrace the uniforms tbey wear. We aie not rurethat anything better was to be expected from the regiments that brought shame upon themselves at Hartsville. und to some ex tetit uiK)!i Hie releral arms. 1 her were raw regiments, und thev had not l ehived well pre viouslv We are informed that thev are the same leg'Pierts that Gen.

No doubt there were cod men a mors them but m.inv, if not most, respected no law o man or God. At the Capital of our State, they outraged not only all hone-tv, but all decency They would go habitually into gentlemen'syar.l and u-c them fr the vulgarest purpose in natuie riuht before the eves of the who'e families, and, when persons made complaint of such doing to Gen. Dumont. as very many did, the only answer thev could get wns, "The soo"r you get used to these thing the better." Surely it is not surprising, that such troops, led by such a commander, proved biely recreant in the fceot the enemy. No doubt the portion of them that scorned to participate in the outrage perr-etrated in Kentucky whs the oortion that made whatever resistance was made at Hartsville.

A shinpl.ister storv hi been localized here und applied to a popular dry good. dealer. The ftory may have been in print, perhaps, but a tepetition wid do no harm. As the storv goes, a farmer purchased a few cent' worth of goods, from this trader, and gave him a hill to mke change from. The latter re turned him eipl ty five cents in his engiaved prorni-es to pay. genteelly known as clients, but vulgarly as h npl astets. "What a thetnr in quired country man, inspecting them w ith great curiosity. ,0h." said the merchant, "tho-e are a sort of currency we dry goods deaiers have, arid went off to nttnd to ano'.her cus tomer. The countrvnian went off, notexictlj sati-fied, but soon alter returned and bought neulv u dollar's worth of goods. Alter ret-eiv-i;ig the neatly tied up package, and being told tlie price, he deposited a numberof pumpkin-seeds on the counter. "What are thoeV inquired the astoni-hed meichant. "Oil," replied the country man, coollv, them's a sott of currency we farm ers have,' and thereupon left the store. The story has it tu .t the drv good deiler, who appre ciate- god jokes nas so amused that he tlid not call his unprofitable customer tack. Bjston Herald.
