Free Negroes in Mississippi.
A is til i« now before tho Legislature of
Mississippi (and it will doubtless pais) pro
viding that after the 1st day of next July,
nil tnulat o or black persons who are free, or
claim to be such, or act as such, may be
indicted, and on conviction shall ho sold by
the aherilTof the county where so convicted.
Any person pretending ownership of‘such
negro for the purpose of shielding and pro
tecting aatd tiegro, to be Cued not exceeding
$1000 ami imprisoned for six months. And
iheso provisions also opentto to tho same
extetit against any owner allowing a negro
to hire hi* or her own time, or otherwise to
net as free. And all such negroes are
disqualified from inheriting, Requiring or
holding any property in the Stale, nor can
nay property bo removed front the State for
the benefit of any such person. This is a
stringent law, but under existing circum
stances, we think, not too rigid in its
provisions. For while there may be tome
who are industrious, moral and good people
in their way, they are but exceptions to a
general rule ; nnd as these constitute a cluss
inoro accessible by slaves than whites,
Mississippi and all the other Southern States
cannot throw too many guards around the
safety und peace of their own immediate
population. And it will be beneficial also
to tho fiee black, lor as long us there ure
to runny low whites from abroad tampering
with the rights nnd lives of the slave owner
and t-vciy one else in his neighborhood, tho
free black will always be under the bunc of
suspicion at least, and in case of diflicul-
lira woulJ probably be Rtnnng tlto first to
suffer, whether innocent or guilty. His
removal from the Stats would not require
half the personal sacrifice lo him that he
/night stiller while under this suspicion,
and not a tithe of that which others would
suffer in ease that suspicion should prove
well grounded. Consulting his own condi
tion then, the true interest of tho freo black
is ce put him out of harm'a way, and he is
moat remote from scenes of apprehended
'.rouble.
G AS TH. MoNET.—A terrible great meet
ing was recently held in Boston at the old
“Temple of Liberty,” aaTremont is called
and of all the loud denunciations of the
South, we have never aren ar
severe or excruciatingly bitter, and certainly
(though none approved hi* course exactly)
there were never more falsotno laudation*
of any man than these fanatics heaped up
I he head oi old Brown. Wo certainly
expected something horrible to result
such on array of tho hostile power* in such
a magnanimous city. But unfortunately
the straitened r*n.liiiur» ol old Brown s
family was mentioned, arid a subscription
proposed for. their relief. But still more
unfurliinato Am itit'ii ‘''ty weia wane, uml
though thero uru a number of thrin left, this
great and chsri'able meeting raised four
hundred dollars for the benefit of this suffer
ing family! Considering the number of
speukcr* (eight) this was four hundred dol
lars less than all of thefd charge for a single
(ectuic before any one of flic Lyceum insti
tutions of tho North. The Blown family,
therefore, would have been four hundred
dollars holler off if these patriots had devo
ted only one evening’* salury for llicir
lectures to tho humane rslief of widow

A Pretty Muss.
A majority of the Executive Committee,
appointed by the last Democratic State
Convention, have issued a call for a Slate
Convention of the Georgia Democracy to he
held in Milledgeville on the 9J Monday in
March. This is in opposition to tho call
made by the Democratic members of the
Legislature for a State Convention on the
8ih of December—the object of both being
declared to he the selection of dulegulrs lo
Charleston. Most of the Democratic papers
appear to he taking sides with the Execu-
Comroiltse. But the cliques in the
Legislature, having probably an nxo of
their own to grind, will he reluctant to give
up (he oppoinlment of tl.e delegates to
Charleston—it can he used so advantage-
ly in bringing about n compromise in
tho election ol United Slates Senator! The
Executive Committee slutc that Col. Lane,
of their number, has not acted with
them at all in their proceedings touching
this question, nnd that Col. deGraffenried,
another member, sides with tho Democratic
members of tho Legislature.

Historic Ttuth* about Kansas.
The Atlanta Confederacy is engaged
tho work of defending Hon. Alexander
Stephen* from a very formidable hill of I
chaifes brought against him by llio Charles
ton Mercury. Wo cxfrsct from tho Con
federacy's last article of this controversy
the following statemriila, which wo suppose
aro made knowingly :
“Mr. Stephens never affirmed mai nun-
ana won rejected 1 Inca uru the applied lor
admission as a slave Suite.’ Wo do not
helievo the records wi.l sustain the Mercury
in thin assertion.
“Mr. titephens attributes the rejection of
Kansas to ilia froesoil policy inaugurated
in that Territory by Mr. Buchanan through
Robert J. Walker.”
It mskss hut very little difference whether
Mr. Stephens has “affirmed” the first of the
above-named propositions or not. Every
body knows it to bo true wiihout his
endorsemsnt ; and the furility with which
Kansas, d* u free Stale, will bn ndinillrd
winter in violation of lata, will be
strong cumulative proof uf the suiue fact.

Vicissitude* of a Millionaire.
At the time of our story, there was an
auction store near tho Bourse.
Tho Viscount Robert N. de P—— was
twenty-five years of age, hid an income ol
25,01)0 fivers, with good looks, nn illustrious
name, nnd could have made a very brilliant
marriage. Ho ought to have been tho hap
piest man in (ho- world, lie had only one >
regret—ho hud nothing to do. Ho wus un
happy at his hoppinens. The constant tran
quility of life fatigued him. Ho needed a
little bitter in his cup of perpetual sweets.
Uut heaven refused to grant it to him. Hr
resolved to fly to oilier lands, thcru to seek
tho fiiliguuf, tho sufferings, iho novelties be
five years ago, ho entered by chance
an auction room, just ns they wero putting
up n capital portable writing desk.
Ho was about to travel, and it was just
wliat lie needed ; so ho bought it for throe
hundred francs.
It probably cost more then len times tho
►urn. In the interior there were compart
ments for everything, and a plate bore the
' asms of Lord N , ono of the richest
peers of England. He was enchanted with
bis purchase, and carried it horqg. In l:i*
umph. Some days after he set out for
Spain; as hu went from Madrid to Cndiz,
ho was stopped by thieves who completely
despoiled him. lie prayed them lo return
it. They refused; hut their chief, Don
.lose Muric, promised to tend it after him to
Gndiz, on receipt of a ransom. Robert
promised two hundred reals, and gave the
address of the hotel ar here he meant to slop
ut Cadiz. Ho 6ont tho money, and got the
desk.
In America, in the wilds of Mexico, h
desk was cairiod off' by tho Mexicans, li
thought it lost. Four months afterward he
found it in a shop in Vera Cruz, nnd paid
five hundred francs lor it.
In ^852, having returned to France,
thought of going to Baden. Do passed

iImt the money was not hi*. Ho had given
