One of the crew of tlie .schooner tl in 1866 ran a cargo of t>ne hundred a fifty negroes from Mobile bay to Cu furnishes the reporter of the Mob Register with a full narration of t trip. We have only room for the si joined extracts. This man says that and his friend "Tommy." agreed to ( ter the service of the Schooner with t understanding that they were to go Galveston, whither the negroes wt going to work on a plantation, and tr. he did not know that the Yankee Ca tain was a slaver, and had induced t negroes to go aboard under ff.lse pi fences, and with the intention of selli; the negroes into slavery. Here is t story in part. It will be found interestin At 8 o'clock everything had bei made snug, and the watch had starla to go below, when the mate came fe ward to the waist and told all hands muster aft. ' The men, Tommy and with the rest, ranged ourselves along < deck in a line. The captain and tl two mates stood on the windward sic of the deck in front of us, looking lil officers overhauling a row of solchei After looking to see that all hands we: there, the Captain said-"Men. I s? pose jon know what you were shippc in tliis schooner for; the time has con for us to put tilings in train to carry 01 our design. -The first thing, of cours is to get the irons on the negroes-aft< .that we shall have time enough to" here my chum, Tommy, and I both pi our oars in ?and asked what all th meant; for though we had had our sir. picions-at least, I had-this "plumj out-with-it ~ speech had taken us a aback." . "I'll tell you what it means," sai the captain; "I should have told yo before you came on. board, ..but had n opportunity, and was not going to los two good men by being afraid to tak them witl' mt telling; this, means tho if w? land this cargo of one hundrci and fifty negroes on the Island .of Cub? .we shall make a good thing of it ; if w are caught at it the speculation wil probably lose us our necks; you hav< no choice ; a couple of men will not bi allowed to .block a game like thi with us." And he was right; Tommy and '. would have been a couple of blood) fools to cry "hands of" at a time like this, with the certainty gf going ovei thc sides with our throats cut. ?& soon as. the captain was done speaking the second mate went down into the cabin and handed up a pair oj revolvers-to each man. and then com menced passing up the hand-culis, tak ing care'not to let the things .jingle and make a noise. When enough had been handed-np to* " accommodate" our 'com plement .of passengers, the mate sent four of us forward with them, and him self went down info the hold with a lamp an'd turned Out five or six "of the negroes, telling them that he wanted their help about something on deck. The darkies came up the hatchway trembling and stumbling about the decks with the motion of the vessel, feeling their way forward, headed by the mate with the light, until they were at thc gangway abreast the galley, when the revolvers were shoved under their noses, and sudden death promised them if they made the least bit of a row. The irons were slipped on their hands and fast ened, gags placed in their mouths, and then tlioy were stowed away in the gangway to wind'ard. This bringing them up by half-dozens was kept up until all but about tweiity five had been .'recured, but the waking up cf the others had HO disturbed these that they couldn't sleep much, and I sup])ose they must have heard some thing or other of what was ?oing omon deck, for when the mate went down for another batch, the poor devils kicked up a most infernal, diii, and swore by all that was good and bad, that they wouldn't come up until they knew what it was all about. The mate tried persuasion at first, but move they wouldn't, and finally thc mate got in a passion and grabbed the first one. that came handy and tried to drag him up on deck any how. The i:egro, of course, resisted, and in the scuffle the light was knocked out, and all the darkies. made a rush to the hatch. The mate cleared -himself of the negro and sprang-on deck just in time to save himself. Calling the second mats, cook, and steward to come quick with capstan bars, the blacks that Were below were kept from rushing on deck. The capstan-bars were used pretty free ly oh the sconces of some that tried to get out anyway, but none of them were much hurt. Leaving three men to look after the main-hatch the mate went for ward, and with the help of Tommy and I, roused up about sixty fathoms of chain from the locker and ranged it ?long the deck, and, getting out a ball of marline, he and the captain took the darkies that had been put in irons, and, one at a time, seized them hard and fast to thc chain. - This done, thc Captain Called all hands to couie with him and make a break on the-feljows below. Tlie steward'got.a bull's-eye lamp, and with the captain and "six of the crew, jumped into the hold among the darkies.* The negroes in the hold were scared almost to deafy by this time, and there was not ' much of a fight' iii getting them " to i rights." as the 'mate cabled it; When ?the hold had been cleared, and all the ? blacks strung along the chain on deck, ?the work of tossing overboard the dar kie.-'' fraps ' commenced, and in a few j minutes the negroes didn't have as j niurii clothes aboard' as would make a '. flying jib for a wheelbarrow. - The head ' pump was now started, the decks washed down, the gear laid up, and the watch ' sent below. In the morning, after the crew had ' their breakfast, the captain and mate had i talk to the poor darkies, and told them what they already guessed, that Cuba, and not Texas, was the place where the work was to be done. The news didn't work the same on all of them ; j ?onae howled and yelled, and made all sorts of a row, whue more of them took I it stubborn and sullen-like, not seemi ! to cave" much whether it was h-1, Texas, or anywhere else. The officers tried to quiet the or that were cutting *up so rowdy, and last coaxed them to hush their clatt by telling them that they would be ho overboard if it wasn't stopped. T steward and cook hustled around ai made a lot of mush for the blades, ai the mate and second mate unshackl one hand for each of the darkies, so they could take their breakfast. Po devils; they did not handle their spoo as though their appetite was very stron After they had made. a show of ec ing, the port chain was got "on de< from the locker and taken below ; tl bight, jbr it was middle on deck, w led forward and spiked on to some til hers up in th'e eyes of her, the two em taken aft and made fast in the stern, ar then the darkies were cast off, one 1 one, from the chain on deck, and mac fast to the chain below.. About one-ha of them had been stowed, when one fe low, a regular bull for strength, mac fight as soon as bis hands were cutadri from the chain. The mates grabbed J him, but the darbies were still hung 1 his right wrist, and he made full pla with them, like a slung-shot, right in! their faces, .and, for a second or twi made tho blood fly like water. Tl captain and steward jumped in, too, bi I believe on my soul the blaok w.oul have brained them ali, only the coo ran up and-cracked his skull with a axe that was used to cut meat. Th poor fellow fell like a bullock when h was struck, and before you could sa Jack Robinson with your mouth oper overboard he went, and''ia five minute the sharks had the body torn into mince meat. " Time dragged heavily " with us o: board the schooner after the cloven-foo was' shown. The moans, groans, am curses, of the poor negroes iii the hob would have driven sleep from a brute' eyes, let alone a human's. I don't be lieve that in the three 'days that "olapsei before we got ashore, that a soul in tba vessel slept a wink, and all hands looke( like men three days dead when wi separated. The morning of. the third day, afte: putting the darkies below, the look-on sung out "land ho!" from thc foremasi head.. The captain went aloft aiid tool a look, and made it out t o bc a poi ni about twenty miles to the east'ard o: Cape San Antonio, and when he came on deck put the vessel about and stood on and oif all day, until, when tho sun was nearly down, he hauled up for the land and-fetched a little bay, thc r?a??,c of which I never heard, about 8 o^l^lc: Of course, all hands were on dork now, each man keeping a weather-eye open for himself, for there was no telling what trick might be played by the old man and the mates;- As the schooner neared the mouth of the bay. she wis hove to, the small boat lowered, and the mate- and steward jumped into her and pulled in shore. The boat came back in a short time, bringing on board two men, one of whom took the wheel, the other going "into the cabin "with thc captain. The mate, took the orders from our filot and squared away for the beach, was ordered in the foreohains with the head and remained there until I heard the mate sing out " let the mainsail and jib run down"-andihen, a few minutes ' .ster, " let go the anchor !" when I step ped over thc rail on deck. A ledge of rock lay on our port quarter, and in a few minutes the stern of the vessel was warped alongside and the work of get ting the darkies ashore was begun and put through in a hurry. The poor fel low-s-cried and sobbed as though their hearts would break as they Were brought up, and ^ene of tbem that I was leadwig ashore prayed and begged that I would write to his mother, somewhere in Mis sissippi, I forget now where, about him, and I promised I would, only I can't write no more than a monkey ; but it seemed to do him good, and 1 couldn't refuse thc promise. One by one, in tow of one of the officers or crew, cam.> the darkies, like a funeral procession,^ Only a good deal quicker, and as they went out on . tbe rock, they - were taken in cluuge by men and led- back into the bush. When the vessel Was clear of them, the man who had come on board with ?he pilot came ashore arm-in-arm with our captain, and walked "up into the bush where the negroes had been assembled. The mate told the cook and second mate to stay onboard and " keep ship," and all the rest followed the cap. tain and the stranger up the betten. When the. open space had been reached where the negroes were assembled, tho captain audthe stranger commenced counting the darkies, and haggling in Spanish about the price. They * .titled at last upon so much for each, ..but not speaking nor understanding their lingo. I didn't know how much it was. In a low minutes the amount was paid down in gold, and the mate'and steward took up the canvas bags that the money had been put^n and we are started back to the vessel., As we faced the beach, the darkies^wefe trotted off the other'way by their purchasers and* assistants. I sometimes think I can .hear the wailing of them poor devils iii my earn yet ; you see it wasn't like catching a lot of Gui nea niggers;-that were just so many monkeys,-?nd sailing them, but th?se fel lowf looked human-like, and what little conscience I had wasnp,in arms againat the business. But what could I do ; one man,- or at most, counting Tommy, two men, against eleven : just what was done -nothing. When we all got on board again, the .warp was cast off and the stern swung round seaward.. The cap-' tain called us aft and-sayR, " Well,'my lads, we've landed the cargo, got the price of it in our fists-a . pretty ? good price, too-fifty-five ounces a head! But the danger is not over yet; this vessel must be burned somewhere off the Flo ' rida coast, ami we have got to cross .the j Gulf, without getting nabbed, to "do it; L'Thbgf you who are afraid to trust lyon . 'S any further in her can leave ! he .c, but your chances of getting ' caugut on the Island are ten to one1 of j that of getting caught in the ve&seL If ' yon leave here you will get $400 in gold for your work ; if you stick by the} sol you shall have ?1000, so you see.: vourintcrest to stick by hcrtothel Make up your minds, for we must, wit of this iu a .jiffy." Tommy beck ed me to one side, and as we were of same way of thinking that the sop we were out of the schooner the,bel for us, we spoke Alp and said that ' thought we would leave then, if th Was no objection, so the captain w below and got some money and hanc us twenty-three ounce-pieces each, the same time asking if any once wanted to throw aw-ayf six hundred d lars by leaving f?ie vessel; but po ( did not speak, and Tommy and I w'< into the forecastle and' got a shift clothes, and shook hands with one two of our shipmates, and stepped ii the boatvand were pulled ashore bv t of the men. ' We stopped on the rock for a wh after the boat landed us, and seen t schooner weigh her anchor, and. get i der sail, and stand out to sea. We scan ly spoke to one another,-for we felt, least, I did, as though we had been ci ting some -man's throat for the few di lars that were tied up in an old shirt our feet. The schooner was fast-crawling out sea, Tommy and I turned to .climb t .hill -behind us, thinking a good dc about whether we Were thieves only, thieves and murderers- too. We la down under a tree at the top of the hi and at daybreak started on foot for M tar?zas, a good long walk, if you:ll lo< at the mrfp of the Island. But at last we got there, and whal .more,'got.a. berth in a sugnr-dugh bound to Bristol. What became of the schooner I dor know, but I reckon if she'd a been los or captured, you folks h?re would ha^ heard more of it, for she was ownc here, so^ I.heard ; I guess the school er that'was burned off the Double-Hea< ed Shot" Keys about that time, mu have been her, The crew, I was toi was picked up bv a brig and taken 1 New .York, all eftcepttwo, and them tl mate report to have been lostoyerboan Them two was Tommy and.

He didn't think the acts oP| Congress were exactly constitutional, but they were as near the Constitution as ahv acts could bc ?ri sucLa case ; that the Southern States- were .out of the Union,'and these measures had tobe adopted in order . to put them back.

A respectable term can be made use of till it becomes the synonym of every thing --contemptible and dirty. Gome all ye ends of the earth and recent in favor of,the Chicago platform and the wooly head of the negro to the straight hair of tho white man-and though your sins bo as scarlet they shall be as white.a? snow-loyal white Joe Brown, of Geor gia-who was he? An old original he secessionist. When the war was first got to be talked' about he was so hungry for fighting that Jae took a-snack before breakfast and seized Fort Pulaski. In 1860 and 'Cl if you had thrown him into a branch you might haye heardhim sizzle three miles. During, the war h.'e' I ate fire till he was as hot as a black smith's furnace--and since the war he has eat dirt till by virtue of it he has become a freeholder. HOW TO, BECOME LOYAL. Just go for Grant and-lo ! !-you are loyal. I could make a loyal man out of myself in a few seconds by simply tele graphing that I Would support the Grant and Coliax ticket.

If the i Democracy had nominated Chase, the*' Governor said his name, so long identi fied with the abolition of slavery, -would have enabled the Democracy f? carry every Southern State. Now, they might possibly carry Georgia and Alabama-- I the rest would all go for Grant.

If he was sc vile and detestable a wretch, what4 was to be thought of the people .who had ac cepted him as their ruler, who had .paid, .him honors only ?little lower than those accorded to the gods, and with whom his edicts had been as unquestioned and potent as the nod -erf Jove him self ?

We have had' despotic sway in your land. We have done our will with 'your laws, with your government, with your morrey, with*' your very bodies in war ov peace, and for years you were zealous and proud to do our bidding.
