s to the Northern press, (May 15,) and some portion of it has the usual Black Republican tinge: A legal demand has been made upon Gen. Harney to give up Capt. McDonald, who was taken poisoner by the U. S. volunteers after the affair at Camp Jackson. The General answered in writing, refusing to give him up till he had receivto obey the higher law of his country. The decision of the Judge has been postponed. Yesterday U. S.

Brutal cruelty. --Capt. Harley, of the British ship Culloden, was mobbed at Mobile, on the 4th inst., where his ship had arrived the day before, for brutal treatment to a young girl, named McDonald, who came over as an emigrant on the Culloden. The girl "spoke her mind" to him for some action of his, when he flogged her with the rope's end until she fainted and fell upon the deck. Not satiated with cruelty, he had the pump manned with six strong men, and had a stream of salt water, through a hose attached, with all the force they could give to it, thrown into her face and about her person, continuing the operation full a quarter of an hour. This story getting abroad at Mobile, a large crowd surrounded the Baltic House, where Harley was stopping, and at last accounts he had been placed in the hands of a committee of citizens to decide on his punishment.

ounty held a large and enthusiastic meeting in Winchester on yesterday, to express their opinion on the "National Crisis." Resolutions declaring their purpose to meet the great question of the day boldly, to demand justice from the North now and forever, and expressing their deep sympathy with South Carolina, were unanimously passed — save one dissenting voice. Joseph H. Sherrard, Esq., Mayor of Winchester, presided with his usual grace and dignity. As the meeting was about to adjourn, Col. McDonald proposed three cheers for South Carolina, which were most enthusiastically given. The spirit of resistance to Northern aggression, and the determination to settle the slave question at this time, either in or out of the Union, has made rapid progress in our county; and to some it may seem strange that who are not slave own is go as far as the farthest in demanding southern rights, but they are descendants of those noble patriots who stood shoulder to shoulder in 1776 with Northern men
