Ball and chain.

--The Beast Butler has condemned Usiah G. Patterson, of New Orleans, to be confined for six months at Fort Pickens, at hard labor, with a twenty four pound ball attached to his leg by a chain, for an ‘"insulting and seditious report to the authorities of the United States."’

It appears that Mr. Patterson registered himself as an ‘"enemy of the Constitution, as interpreted and executed by the present Abolition Government of the Dis United States, but a friend of the Constitution and Union, as interpreted by the immortal, pure Henry Clay."’
