V - -. . VOLUME XI NUMBER 8. WILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 3, 1856. WHOLE NUMBER 1263 MISCELLANY: From the Washington Sentinel. EXOLlSIt OPPRESSION AND SOUTHERN - SLAVERY. i ' Mere tongue philanthrophy is an easj virtue. - It costs nothing", while it claims for itself great rewards. AH the philan thropistsin the world, of this cheap schoo have formed an ollensire alliance against the Slave owners of the Southern States. Traitors at home have united with canting- hypocrites abroad, and nothing short of universal abolition will content them. En gland forgetting her great army of starving paupers, and oppressed laborers, who if they be males are driven to murders and ' larcenies, if females to shit me and degrada tion. has for years past Zealously assisted American -fanatics and -slave stealers in organizing a plan for robbing rightful owners of slaves of their property. Every effort that human ingenuity could devise has been made. to . excite discontents and insurrections among the slaves. ; Books and pictures portraying the cruelties of the masters and the sufferings of the slaves have been industriously scattered over the country. The chrildren of the North are taught from their earliest infancy to re gard their Southern brethren as brutal masters, who delight in the tortures and groans of the unhappy blacks. YVe have so often had to speak of this injustice committed against the Southern peopleand so often had occasion to con trast tEfe-happy condition of the Southern slaveswifh the degraded condition of the free negroes of the North, and the suffering and oppressed laborers of Europe, that we do not deem it necessary to repeat here the facfa and illustrations, which from time to time, we Have presented to our readers. Our "object, at present, is simply to call the attention of our readers to a startling manifestation of English colonial policy, and barbarous cruelty which has but re cently received the most authentic develop ment. The colonial history of England is marked by the most revolting forms of op pression, rapine, and cruelty. Her officials have been infamous Cor their barbarities, her tax gatherers for their impositions and frauds. But it remained, for the present times, when shei3 wasting her sympathies on our southern slaves, to bring to light a system of pains, penalties, and tortures pursued by her in her India possessions, which have their parallel nowhere but in the dark dungeons of the old Spanish in - quisitiifo. I It was charged in the "EngHsh Parlia ment in' 1854, that tortures of the most re volting' kind were practised by the British officials in the Madras Presidency, in the collection of the revenues, and that the un happy natives had no means of redress. The charge was disdainfully denied, and an investigation challenged by the Presi dent of the Board of Control. A commis sion was appointed, which in a short time collected proofs the most conclusive and damning of the truth of the charge. ! The land revenue is the principal source of income to the East India Company; and out of 26,000 of all kinds of taxes, 15, 000,000 are derived from this source. To collect this, the government acted as land lord to the whole territory, "placing a mo ney rent upon every field within the vast dominions." This system .1 introduced the agency of the State "to an extent that had no parallel in the history of the world."- Districts of 7,000 square miles, and in some instances of 13,000 square miles, were pla ced under a single collector, with a few English assistants, who "made tours through the districts, ascertaining or at tempting to ascertain, how much land each individual cultivator intended to bring into cutivationand watching aad checking the produce of the soil under every variety of season, and of climate." Such a thing as private property in land was unknown. The rate of assessment was so- high as to drive the people from them, and to leave them waste. One third of the best land . was thus laid waste. In South Arcot on ly one fiftieth was cultivated. I If the ten ants attempted any improvement, such as sinking wells, planting orchards, &c, the assessment was increased. The Madras district, on the lvae of the railroad, was a desert Not oneTenth of the ancient wa- , ter-works were kept in repair, f "The na tive population of India," said Mr. Black- ett, in the House of Commons, "had been reduced to almost a state of beggary un der this state of things and he called up on the House to consider the immense pow er which could be exercised by a Collector and his assistants upon a population of 80,- UUO or 100,000 a vast proportion of whom were trembling upon the verge! of which separated destitution from absolute starva tion. The holder of land had Co pay two tnirds or the gross produce to government If the people would not take J nd under 4uch circumstances they were compelled to. There was no farmer in England that did not care more for his stock than the East India Company did for these human beings intrusted to their charge, t : The various modes of torture resorted to are thus described in the Edinburg Review, The" tortures which the Commissioners rind to have been employed are of various kinds and of different degrees of severity. Some of them are so light as to amount to little more than'a menace.' Some are so severe as to cause not only extreme pres ent pain, but permanent injuries, mutila tion, and even, not tihfrequently, death. Some of them exhibit an amount of dia bolical ingenuity on the part of the tortu rer, and & deirnm nf mnial nKaoomonr n4 aegTaaation lathe victim, or which our western mind can hardly, form a concep tion ; some, in fine, are so loathesome and indecent, and at the same time so excruci ating, that although they are set down na kedly m the Report, w must abstain from from any specific allusion to their nature. The two most common forms of torture appear to be theJKiaee (in Teloogoo called Ckeerata.) and the anundalt which in the ame. language is called Gingeri. f I The kittee corresponds with the thumb screw of the European torture. It is a wooden instrument somewhat like a lem on-squeezer, between the plates of which the bands, the thighs, (in women also the breasts,) the ears, and other more sensative parts of the body are squeezed to the last point of endurance, often to tainting, and even to permanent disablement. In many places the kittee has been superceded by the more simple plan of violently compres sing: the hands under a flat board, on which a heavy pressure is laid, sometimes by the peons standing upon it : or of compelling the sufferer to interlace his fingers, and de livering him over to the iron gnpe of the peons (or policemen,) who sometimes rub their bands with sand, in order to give them a firmer gripe. In other cases the fingers are bent back till the pain becomes unen durable. " ' . " ' ' The auundai. is a more purely eastern torture. - It -consists in tying the victim in a stooping or otherwise painful and unna tural position, generally with the head for cibly bent down to the feet, by a rope or cloth passed round the neck and under the toes. I he torture, however, is varied at the caprice of the executioner. Some times the poor wretch is made to stand on one leg, the other being forcible tied up to his neck. Sometimes the arms and legs are curiously interlaced, and the frame, thus violently distorted, is kept bound up for hours, in a condition little short of dis location. Sometimes a heavy stone is laid upon the back, while thus bent; and it of ten happens that the peons amuse them selves by sitting astride upon the unhappy sufferer who is undergoing annundal. . More than one of the witnesses depose to the infliction of this torture under the fierce India sun upon a number of defaul ters placed together in rows for two, three, four, and even six hours ; and this is in the immediate vicinity of the cut-cherry, or revenue office, and in the presence of the tahsildar, or native collector, and of the assembled villagers. Occasionally a man is held aloft from the ground by the ears, by the hair, and even by the mustachio ; and the latter tor ture, in some instances, is applied so sav agely as to tear away the mustachio by the roots. Sometimes a sort of bastinado is inflicted, sometimes violent blows on the shin, the ankles, the elbows, or other high ly sensative part of points. Prolonged emersion in the water tanks or the river forcible compression of the arms, the thighs and even the body, by tying a coil of coir rope around them, and then applying cold water so as to cause it to contract and sink into the flesh burning it with hot iron hanging heavy stones around the neck the stocks: tying two or more individuals together by the hair, so that every move ment is attended with pain : placing necklace of bones or other disgusting or degrading materials round the neck : these are a tew of the minor inflictions devised by these masters of the oriental school of torture. If we add to these & few practices ike those used at home by amateurs of the turf or the ring, for the purpose of "reduc ing flesh such as starvation, prolonged deprivation of sleep, compulsory driving up and down under a broilinsr sun : farcins' the unhappy wretches to run long distances. their bands being tied to the axle of bauby, or country carriage we think the catalogue of torture will be admitted to be tolerably complete. Will it be credited, for example that it is not uncommon to aply to the most sensa live parts of the body (enclosed in a cloth or a cocoanut shell, or other similar recep tacle) a biting insect or reptile, such as the pollab, or carpenter beetle,, and to leave it to gnaw the flesh of the misserable suffer- er? That by a further refinement of cruelty. meant to combine both pain and humilia tion the defaulters are sometimes tied by tne hair to the tail of a donkey or buffalo. That they are occasionally hung up with tne head downwards? And that is an or dinary practice to put pepper or powdered chillies into the eyes or the nostrils, and to apply tnese and similar irritating drucs in other ways too revolting to be even hinted at. We claim that the cruelties imputed to tne slave owners in our Southern States are base calumnies gotten up by fanatics, hyp ocrites, ana enemies, vve deny that any system ot cruelty, either social or legal is exercised towaras staves. , Ut course we do not deny that there are such monsters as bad masters any more than we deny that there are such monsters as bad hus bands, bad fathers, and bad neighbors. But the English people cannot deny the truth of the above frightful disclosures ; they have not been made either by ene mies at home or abroad. . They have been brought to lignt by a most respectable En- glisn commission appointed by the English government. England has long seen the mote in our eye, but is altogether ignor.mt of ihe beam in her own eye. She has officially med died with fancied oppressions in this coun try while she has neglected to reform abu ses in her own. She has shed crocodile tears over the imagined miseries of southern slaves, while she has been insensible to the real miseries of the great bulk of her home population, and the untold cruelties practi ced by her officials, and under the authori ty of her laws in her numerous colonial ap. pendages. - ' ' ' -; ': ' It is humiliating to think, that in this en lightened age, that Government, which ar rogantly claims to be the best and the fre est .on earth, should be convicted before the world of crimes that would disgrace a fel on, and cruelties that would disgrace a savage. , : i ; The editor of the New Haven Reg ister has been shown a ben's egg meas uring nine and a half inches in circum ference by five in diameter t Inside of it was another nerfectlv formed egg, witn a hard shell, larger : than ordinary ones.

One of the former hp shot dead in the dark as the animal was about to spring upon him." His next effort was ; to kindle a fire. " He collected some dry materials and loading his gun with powder fired the charge into a dry- cotton handker chief." It was a failure ! As" the sun was dischaiged another bear, appa rently within twenty feet of him, gave a uideous and . awlul roaj. that made Clark's hair stand on end. Bruin was terribly frightened by the discharge of the gun, and hastily scampered, much to the relief of Clark, who now began to fully realize the danger of his po sition. Here he remained, not daring to fall asleep. "About two o'clock in the mor- lg. to add to the horrors of his sit uation, the yell of a panther was heard. The beast approached came nearer' every few minutes uttered a screech that froze the blood in his veins. As a last resort to defend himself from the attack ot the savage animal, he reload ed his gun, putting some three cent pie ces and some, steel pens (for he had no thing else) which he hoped might do some execution. The animal came so near that the glare of his eyes resem bled two balls of fire ! Clark every moment expected to receive the fatal spring. I here he remained without daring to move, with the fiery eyes of the panther fixed upon him ! In this dreadful situation, expecting every mo ment to be torn in pieces, he remained till break of day, when he was relieved from danger and the animal disappear ed. Hungry and weary and excited, he left for the settlement, where he arrived about noon and related his thrilling ad venture. A ; party proceeded to the plaoe where the bear was shot, and brought in his carcass, which proved to be a very large one. It was dressed and forwarded to New York. FRESH FRUIT. T AVER and M. R.
