The Libtwian Colonization Scheme-
Return Bf an Escaped Georgia Emi
grant—An Interesting Account of
his Experience—Terrible Trials of
the Deceived Colored People.
Among the steerage passengers
who arrived at this port on Tnesday
evening, in the steamship San Jacin-
1o from New York, was John Mc-
Burrus, a colored man, better known
as John Swain, a native of Hawkins-
ville, Ga., and well known on the
river as the pilot of the late Chas. S.
Hardee, with which he had been con
nected in this position from the time
she was built up to within a' few
months of the time she. was lost.
John called upon us yesterday morn
ing, and informed ns that he was one
of the party of one hundred and fifty
colored people from Hawkicsville,
who left, this city in the steamship
San Salvador on the 16th of Novem
ber last, lor Liberia by way of New
York, under the auspices of the
American Colonization Society, of
which expedition mention was made
in the News, at the time. He escap
ed from the Colony on tiie first .of
May, and left tor New York, from
Monrovia, in the bark Thomas Pope,
Captain Richardson, reaching that
eity a lew days atro. when he took
passage for Savannah arriving here
as stated on Tuesday evening, We
had quite a lengthy and interesting
interview with John, and found him
a ponsiole, intelligent colored man,
possessed of hard, practical sense,
although not an educated person. 1
lett Savannah on the 16th of Novem
ber, on fhe steamship San Salvador,
to see my wife and children off to
Liberia. Upon our arrival in New
York, we were taken directly along
side of the bark Jasper, - bound for
Liberia. Just before reaching New
York, one of tny children died, and
upon our arrival I requested permis
sion to stay on shore and have it de
cently buried. This request was re
fused, and I was forced on the bark
with the others, which lett immediate
ly for sea. I was thus compelled to
entrust the interment of my child to
strangers,and although I was promis
ed that all expenses would 'be paid
from Georgia to Liberia, $18 was
exacted of me for the burial expenses
of the child. It was not my inten
tion to go to Liberia at that time,
and those in charge of the expedition
knevr it. I went to New York to see
my family off, iutending to follow
them in a few months, but was forc
ed on board the bark and not allow
ed to go on shore. In fact taken
away against my will. Mr. J. M .
Lathrop, ofSavannah, had promised
me he would send me out to Liberia
as soon as the season closed, I at
that time being engaged to him as
pilot of his boat. As it is, however,
I am glad I went to Liberia, as my
eyes have been open to the great
fraud that has been practiced upon
my people, and J shall strenuously
oppose emigration from Georgia, or
any other Southern State. This is
our home, and we are better treated,
have more comforts and privilege?
for ourselves,are better paid for our
labor, when we act right and honest
ly Jhan we can be in aD.v other coun
try, Liberia especially. Owing to an
agreement bitween the vessels run :
ning to Cape Palmas and the Coloni
zation Society, no emigrant is per
mitted, after he lands, to leave the
country under two years. By that
time they are either deadf or depriv-
ed of all means of getting away. Dis
covering this, I determined to leave
the place, and sa* Captain Richard
son of the Bark Pope, at Palmas,and
begged him to bring me back. This
he refused to do for the reason sta
ted. But I showed him my Custom
House license as a pilot, when he
promised he would do what he could
for me “as a sea-faring man.” He
told me to meet him at Monrovia,
three hundred miles from Cape Pal-
man, on the first of May, and he
would take me to New York. I laid
hid upon the beach for three weeks,
being supplied with food by my wife,
who had to bring it five miles from
the colony. When the Engli'sh steam
er Virgo anchored within four miles of
the beach and I got a native to car
ry me out there. By this means I
reached Monrovia, met Capt. Rich
ardson, who brought me to New York,
This in brief is the statement of this
colored man, who it seems sold his
little property for $700, which he can
not buy now for $2,000. He is pen
niless, his wife and children are in
Liberia, and lie now has to call on
his white and colored friends to as
sist him in raising the means to bring
them back. John states that the
mortality is fearful at Cape Palmas,
eighteen and twenty ot the Georgia
emigrants dying daily during accli
mation. When the six months’ pro
visions allowed them by the society
give out, they have to depend upon
the bread root, and palm oil the food
of the natives, as subsistance. Speci
mens of this food were exhibited to
us, and our opinion is the same as
John’s—that it cannot be compared
to good corn, bread and fat bacon.
The natives roam the country in idle
ness, men and women going naked
with the exception of a small clout
about the loins. They live in the’
bushes, upon the products above
stated, and enliven the time by hew-
•ing one another with huge cutlasses,
similar to our scythes—as a general
thing, however, they do not disturb
,tho colonists* Many of the emigrants
from tin: South, instead of civilizing
these savages, hdopt their inode of
life and take to the bushes with them
with an alacrity and facility remark
able. John says there are a num
ber ol Georgia negroes in some of
these tribes, who are as wild an*.
Uciruunjus-UH luc natives unctev^vn*
The clwnate is terrible, it being im
possible for a Southern negro to
work in tlfe opeu air alter 9 o'clock
in the morning,and late in the even
ing. Among other blessings enjoy
ed by Southern emigrants is a visita
tion, during the rainy season, of
swarms -of venomous insects, called
“drivers,’’ about the size of our large
red ant, which' fill the huts and
worm themselves into every nook
and corner. Their bite is terrible,
ami we are informed that two color
ed women, who were bed-ridden,and
unable to keep these insects off them,
died from the effects of the bites,
their bodies being swollen horribly.
There is uo upportunity for a color
ed man or woman who is without
means or assistance to elevate them
selves in any manner in such a coun
try, under affairs as they now exist.
Colonists are escaping whenever op
portunity’ offers and returning to the
States; their condition is represen
ted as deplorable,—luring them out
there—nothing more is done for them
Many of those who have been at the
Cape Palmas Colony four or five
years, and \yho have succeeded in
getting assistance fronw their white
friends here are returning, their term
of compulsory residence having ex
pired. Some returned in the bark
Hope, with J?hn Burrns, several of
whom are. Georgians. The names
of these returned disgusted colonists
are as follows: Sarah Lewis and two
children, Columbus, Ga.; Eliza Ba
con, Savannah; Mary S. Wayne, ]
three in family, North Carolina; j
Lucy Graham aud children, South j
Carolina. The colored woman, Eli- j
za Bacon, who emigrated from Savan-!
, nah four years since with a party of j
i eighteen blood relations, returns a- j
lone; the -other seventeen having j
died in Liberia during that period. J
A lamily named Cromwell, also from ,
! this State, numbering five when left ‘
here, is reduced to one member, -j
John Burrus will call mettings of ltis j
people in this city and address them '■
upon this emigration subject,relating ;
his own and others' experience' con- j
cerning the gigantic fraud. He will
then proceed to Milledgeville, Sparta, |
Macon and Hawinsville. He is a»- j
thorized to act as agent for Georgia \
Colonists who are anxious to return. !
and will take up subscriptions forj
tear purpose. The colored people
should feel it a privilege to assist in
bringing home these poor deceived
friends and relatives. The bark
Hope will leave for Liberia the- lat
ter part of August, and arangements
can be made with Yates & Potter-
field, owners, in New York, for the
transporation.—Sav. News.
