The Government ?vill probably hurry lim1 off ly first essl, which will be by the Spanish teamer Caledonia, on the 4th of )e cemiber. Ihere els on1e of the most htrocions acts that has ever been Committed in modern times hv a Go Vernnent on an individual helonging to another Government, who are at peace with one another. An Ameri can, whilst in pursuit ,if his business, is arrested, confined in sihi t:ar v conl. finement nearly three weeks, i'- .hen brought up for trial at a denm hea.d Court Martial. The ease, as inole out by the Queen's la wyer. is read to a court of seven mhilitary oll ers, who are in a room above, wIilst the pris. oter is below under a guard if sol diers; after the read'inz, the prisomer is ordered to he brought up, and without hearing a word that has pass ed, is asked, what have von to say 6; for yourself? Ills reply is . I do not even know-of what. i aml accused -I have not been allowed a lawyer or counsel to. sce the charges, so as to prove my innocence of all and eve. rg charge against mee, which is entire ly against thl h s..of this country against-tie treaties wth myxo. unatrv against justice and liumanity, anl therefore I solemniy protest ai.aiunst :court and all the proceeding me, and deannail that, I have oSltIhal1 be .mjide au l'nnit-I. + " * =charges against Ime and to my minoee. At this he was auitlted: by the President of the Court, Brig.Gen arg.es, inl the nost -overbearing language, :'nul orlerel A back to his dungeon; and a few days after, the Fiscal conies to him anI roads the sentence approved by the -Auditor of War, because the '"c ini 'nal'has not disproved the accusations, l&c.''-also, by the Cap tains General because the Auditor ot war has ap proved it. Thus an imuiocent man, an American, is sacrificed in part, to appease the vengeance held against every American. 'l'he sentence is eight years hard labor in chains at Ceuta in Africa; and to pay the cat of this suit, or to be held until paid. . Letter of J. S. Ta rnMla hr. IN A DUNGEON OF THE l'UNT.A CASTEi, hAV.mA, Nov. 21, 1851. To the Gou~rnmeznt of th' LUnitl tates vi America and to myfeWolwt.e-utryien : An Ameri zan citizen, deprived of liberty and denied justice, respect fully begs leave to lay before you the following facts and appeal Upon landing from the steamer Georgia, on the 16th of October last, I was suddenly, andl without previeous accusationi, arrested and taken to the office of the Police. Oni searching my person, and that of a gentleman who accompanied me, no g apers or letters or any kind were fohnmd upon either of us. We were then taken to the hotel where I boarded, accom panied by the chief of police, who demanded to be shown may room. On ascertaining that I had no room there, we were taken to my residence, and all my papers seized. Thme gentle. man who was nmith me, was then put abfiberty -myself and all may books ar papers were taken to the resi *donce of one of the Police Cotnmissa. ries, whore fo'ur days were ocCmupiedl by the government interpreters in reading my letters. On the 21st of October I was thrown into a dlungeon of the city prison, and~ all connaunienationm with ~,my friends stritctly prohiibited. On the 25th I was retmoved to may rmes Ant dungeon, and the Fiscal of the millitary tribunal made its a ppearance and began a judicial examination. On thme 26th this was continued, and then I saw no one until the 4th inst. when the questioninug was prtoceededt with--and on the 6th I was again tos*ed, and ,finaiby intf~fr d tt f wg caued o Trason. A t the same tme, I was reqluiredl to *5eloct one from a list of oilicers that was presented to me, who should conduct ny defence. Not knowing any of ~ hem, I chose at randoum, supposmig hie woulti consult with mon amnd mny legal advisers, as is usuanl in such casr~ISC Id egard to my defene On the 7th inst.. . was, for trhe i tnWe al%& ed to see 3)1y fent to consult with them as to the best course to nursuc. I cet'rred with our Consul, and lie passed several conmunicationis in tiy behalf to the goverment here, all of which have been utterly dis regarded and not replied to. On the 11th, I un as iniformed that I was to be brought up the next day for sentence. I immediately wiote to my ni'omain ial dei'ender to come at uneo to consult with Rme, and to bring with II lum the proee'dings which are i writing. lie repled r'erba/lly that hle would come inl the aftern'ioou..

This will only be one of a series of meas ures which we presume will be offor edi in the Legislature, in counter-a'c tion of the Legislation in the North obstructing the recovery of fugitive slaves. Our attention has been call ed to a bill introduced by J. It. Campbell, laq., at the last session, but which, fioimu the want of time, was made the special order for Mon day next. This bill provides for re eliiation on the property, of any kind, finuld within the lint.its of this Stats, helonging to citizens or inhabi tants of any other State wherein ob struction is made to the recovery of any fugitive slave or slaves escaping frotm South Carolina, after demand has been made upon the Executive of such State, and not complied with, for the surrender; of such slave or slaves. The right of creditors in possesion for advances inatle on such property, are protected in one of the clauses in this bill. This description of reprisal profes ses to be within thoiprovisiun of the constitution of tho United States. Mr. Poppenhei:n's bill countervails, with regard to those provisions, on the admitted lrinciples that the vio lation of a compact on one side re leases the other. In relation to Mir. Camphell's bill the foi-m of retalia tion varies fr~om that which appears on the tace of Mr. Poppenheitns pro ition for rclress, but Yul'u sals. Whether the property of the citzens of the offeiling State is ta ken, as in 3r Campbell's bill, after compliance with certain legal pre reqluisites, or access is denied to any Court within the limits of South Ca ro'inta, for the legatl recovery of delts tlue sAcIh c'tizenis, they both find jis tification in the law of reprisal. 1De. tweeni the seizure of property and the cotliscatiun of debt, or the deni al of its reeuvery by law, which is the same thing, there can be I Cs. sential distinction, although there is no frm*t:d1-1 or express Violation of the (onstitutionzt in one of these modes. W hich shall he adopted may become a qulestiol of expetdienc, . if there is a choice between thtem. We only steak in relation to the prinip/ it of 'Mr. Popjpenheiml's bill. not havit.I i set its hletail. ]But it is evilent that all remedies of this character are in r'ealit v beside, and nlot withil, the (Co tsttitituti, hwU ever Silt ron tded y i Ie al forns.

W\ithouit ptre:hteig to dleterinttte this questin, we are free ti contfess our belief' that a better could lbe dlevise'd, if' proper attention un s givent to thte tnatft'r by the Le cisla turei. A wa re-that manyii impor tant intert'is are' to be adjutsted dul ring the present sessioni, we yet be lieve that sdllnethling like r'eformn ighI t bc ini tiatd w'~ , whw tih would aiftetr, by w hiebi a syvstemt of' education conanenit uateiti to the ntecessitties of the y'outhi of' uhe State uight be pecr manent~itly'~ established. 'lToro is no reason whyv South Catiroliuna should bte behind her sisters5 itt hter commont~l school facilities. - heis the equatll of atny ini her ar ran gemenits for' thoirough editcationtil purposes~', arid ahead of' near'ly all in tholse intituttions~ adapted to'military instruction; and whereore should aho he Inatad ini that system of popular inistructin, whicht i he it *nbstricts lbut little froin the nockct t~f thb inii vidual tax-payer, will aggregate an nually a large and potent sum, and confer incalculable .advantages in so cial position and intelligence ul-on those who are now either destitute of needful instruction, or whose patents are struggling with desperate ene: gy against poverty and want to give thea the education of which they themselves had] been deprived. To give efliciency to any system, a permanent fund should be created, the necruing interest on which alone would be devoted to that purpose, and this fund should be increased with all proper rapidity from year to year. How to raise this fund is a subject for. thought with our legisla tors, and a little attention could not fail to develop a satisfactory plan for the attainment of an end so much desired. Taxation for the specific purpose would operate lightly on each citizen, and yearly additions from the profits of the bank would very much facilitate the accumulation of the requisite amount. Of course. the results for several years would not be very striking, but so long as they were progressive they would be satisfactory to the tax-payers, as great future benefit could be antici pated; and the incipiency of the or ganization would afford time and ex perience for the adjustment of details of the greatest usefulness. We are satisfied that a sum little larger thtan that now annually fritter ed away, under an approved modern adjustment, would be of vast advant go to the youth of the State, if the is 1 t which marks the ex1 al answer to say that the present sys tem is the best adapted to our sparee ly populated country, and that the proper attendance in many localities could not be had to justify the em ployment of teachers; for we would rnswer that in our cities, towns, and villages, and other well peopled vi iiages, the first schools might be opened the entiro year; and then, in other places, for portions of the year, and such portions only as would be ldapte1 to the accommodation of children) as to their leisure from farm ur other labor. Such difficulties have been surmounted in other States, and there is no good reason for supposing them insuperable here. We leave the subject here, and invoke to it the attention of those members of our Legislature who aim rather to be useful than great, and promise them that a memorv to be coveted w ill survive the projector of a thorough system of common-schocl educatiti in Seutlh Carolina. The Next Conigres Will no doubt, like all the past, be itale up of many incongruous materials. Whether the cognomi nlwil descriptions of it. as given by sume laborious qjuidliuiC, in the fol lowing paragraph, will Iroperly re 1p1 esenit its mioral qjualities, is mnatter of doubt. At all eveunts, it suflices to sho)w how aissortedl are the materi ails.
