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.
