The Toronto C. W., Leader, of last, I
week, describes a public infliction ci t-e
brutal punishment cf ficjgtng upon a sol
dier of the 10th regiment, in that c?ty,
last week:
Every thing being" prepared, the cul
prit was secured in the usual way to the
triangle. His back and ail tho upper
part of his body were lear the only par
ticles cf clothing he wore bainghis trousers
and boots. His hands were beund to
gether and securely fastened to the apex
of the triangle, and his feet to either end
of the base." In this position the mus
cles cf the back rigid, and the skin drawn
tightly over the fcesh, so that the appli
cation cf the lash would have the most
painful effect possible-he awaiteu e
first blow with an air of resolution which
would have been admirable ma martyr.
A drummer who did mt TPr t0 Jave
a great relish for the duty be was auout
to perform, stood at one side with the
formidable "cai-o-nine-tails"' ready to
be-in the fearful work. The surgeon of
the regiment was also present to give
hi. advice A-ith regard to the effect of
the punLhment, and suspend it should
the man's power of endurance give way
before it was all administered. Before
the order to commence was given, how
ever, the adjutant of the regiment read
the charges of which the culprit had been
found guilty and the sentence cf the
court-martial. The drummer, than, amid
the most painful excitement the spec
tators holding their breaths in Euspence
and feeling a wild thrclbing at the heart
-in fcbeditnce to the tommand of the
supperior officer, laid on the first lash.
Tne leather thongs cf the 4!cat" were
brought down with some hesitation, and
fell without much effect cpon the culprit's
Lack. The blow diJ not make hi til even
wince; it produced no mark ; it apparently
caused little pain.
The drummer raised his arm, and ag
ain it came down with the same want of
decision and force. He was evidently
a stranger to the use cf the la:h, and felt
nervous in the preformance of his stern
duty. He repeated the blows in the
manner till he twenty-fifth. When he
was releived by another drummer, who
brought to the work more nerve and
perhaps less compassion. The prisoner
in the meantime had not uttered a word
or a sound. He quietly stood all the
blows that had been bestowed. The first

all the succeeding lashes were no less
severe in their effects. The stripes up-
on veicu s nacK grew into cuts, irum
which the blood flowed sluggishly, and

Mr. McCulloch, the Comptroller of
the Currency, writing with a full sense
cf the meaning which his words convey
to the country, has rubliclv impressed
tLote charrrd with the nmriagmfit -of
National Banks thenecessiiy cf bearing
in mi-d that, 'although the io'al States
appear superficially to be in a prosperous
condition, tuch is not the fact. This is
his language:
. Bear constantly in mind, although the
loyal States appear superficially to be
in a nrostierous ccndfion. that such is
not the facts. Thai while the Govern
ment is engaged in the suppression of a
rebellion or unexampled fierceness and
magnitude, and is constantly draining
the country of its laboring and producing
population, and uivergmg its mechanical
ndUitry from works of permanent value
to the construction of implements of war-

country is io the same extent depleted,'
and wasted and extravagance prevail as
hey never before prevailed in the United
Stales, the nation, u-hntevpr rnir hp

a steam necesty, and must be prosecu

ment, no matter what may be its cost;
out tne country will unquestionably be
poorer e?ery day i t is con in el. The
seeming prosperity of the loyal btates is
owing mainly to the large expenditures
or me uovernment, and, the redundant
currency which these expenditures seem
to render necessary.
.Keep these facts constantly in mind.
and manage the affairs of your respec

that the apparent prosperity of the
country ill te proven to be unreal when
tne war is ooyed, if not before; and be

and Means committed sought to-day to
introduce a measure empowering Secre
tary Chase to sell gold whenever and
however he wishes, solely limiting him
by his responsibility for having always on
hand enough to rav ,vp ;n,aricl nn ,u0
public debt. Objections were made, and
the committee failed to gel it in, but will
soon do it. As Chase now has cn hand
over twenty millions in goid it is mani.
fest this gives him power to utterly
smash the old market whenever he
chooses. As n censequence, people who
are holding gold at 59 to GO will do well
to get rid of it as soon as possible.

corespondent contains some pieces of in

has as yet attracted little orno attention.
The news in a ijutshell is, at this pres
ent moment there is a fleet cf six rebel
war vessels in Chinese waters.
These vessels were fited out in En
gland by Sheward Osborn, an English
naval captain, and were recruiting among
the officers and crews of Her Britannic
Majesty's navy. They wtr j tn !er con
tract to the Chinese Goxernmeni, but
when they reached,'China a disagreement
arose between Osborn and the Chinese
authorities, and pie vessels were not de
livered but thrown on the market and
sold at Auction, Osborn, officers, crew.
guns and all, to Jeuerscn Davj s.
It is intemated Osbofn had some slight
expectations of reaching this result when
he left England. The funds for, the
purchase are said to have been promised
in part by sale of the rebel ram in the
Clyde. There are iiow but few Ameri
can ships in East Indian waters, and it
is thought probable that this fleet, in
company with the Tebel pirate, may be
destined to attack San Francisco.
In order to show there respect for
British neutrality, the British crews take
an cath of naturalization as citizens cf
the Confederacy when the fiag changes.
If, therefore, San Fransisco shouid

Bull washes his hands of all responsibil
ity. We alone of all nations keep, feed
and clothe tens of thousand of prisoners
of war in idleness . This is not the
practice in European nations. With
them prisoners of war are made to earn
their bread at least. Where the ac
cumulation of prisoners has been great,
and their jetention protract, it has been
customary io employ them on great pub
lic works. In this manner Napolean
built the Canal St. Quentin with his
Prussian prisoners of war: and in our

O Jghlto dig the Illinois and Michigan ship

of the mass of rebel prisoners we row

the contry something like S50.C00 a day

year. Why should" we not have the
