CtirlatiiinM H Sin.day.
We teel sure that every rtiother will forgive any
liberties with the stiici rules of poetry, iti consid
eration of the tender feeding betrayed, in the fol
lowinjr lilies, w ritten by a indy of this city :
Twas Christmas Eve, ami t>y the sun
Fast lading from the sky,
Metliotighi ‘tw-js time for Santa Claus,
To mount his chariot high !
Anil setting breathless in the dark,
All sad and musingly —
I spied my little insy l’et,
And bade her come ty me.
Tlie child eaine creeping softly up
\\ ith such a thoughtful air,
I wondered if site ijuite forgot
Tlie morrow drawing near.
And with a warm aud lender clasp,
1 drew her to mv side,
Ami parting hack the wavv locks,
That graced her forehead wide.
1 said, “ what think you Santa Claus
Will tiling i.s all to night ?'*
The little creature moved askant—
As it to hear aright—
Anti hy the torch upon the hearth,
Twas beautiful to see,
The half reproachful, timid glance,
My darling cast on me.
“ I thought he would not come at all,”
(And lifting up her head) —
“To-morrow is the holy day,”
With pious ave, she said.
“ He surely wail not bring a doll,
Or any foolish toys,
’Twould he aVfn in Santa Claus
To mar our Sabbath joys !’’
My heart grew sore within toy breast
And tears liedimm’d my eye,
For many a little foolish toy
Swung in the stocking high.
But talking still, with scarce a thought
How deep the wound begun,
My innocent unconscious child
Still further drew me on.
“ I hope he will not come at all
Or if he does, that he
Will only bring a Bible, or
A Testament to me !
Or some sweet holy book to read,
Where anv little eiiild,
May learn in babv-hood to walk
All pure and undetiled !”
She ceased—the torch upon the heartli
In beauteous flame hud spread—
And so within my heart, the light
Os holiness was shed!
Thus chastened meekly by my child,
New hones mv mind adorn,
And, strengthened by a firm resolve,
I hail the Christmas morn.
From tlie New Orleans Christian Advocate.
Utilise a I I,kiwi !
Home at last! home at lust!
From hii earthly shore,
For OI I’ve joined tlie ransomed ones
Who passed on long before.
Here each tear is wiped away
By God the Holy t hie ;
There's nought but songs of praise and joy
Bound tbe eternal throne.
The pure in heart! the pure in heart!
Robed in spotless white,
All here, with starry crowns of joy
All gloriously bright.
And some I’ve loved so long ago,
Who left roe sad and lone,
Within our Father's house
Safe at home! safe at home!
Safe at home ! safe at home !
O! let the echo go,
To soothe the hearts that mourn me yet
In that first house below.
For his dear arms are round me now
Who was for sinners slain ;
Through Him I’ve won my life—
For me io die is gain.
Safe at home ! safe at home !
Emm an earthly shore ;
I’ll bless and prawe thee, <> my God,
For ever, evermore !
A Men Her Rebuked.
A fewr winters ago, while traveling South, I hal
ted late one evening at a village inn, in Alabama
to spend the night. Quite a company of travelers
and vil'ag< -.os-ij s were seated around the glowing
fire in the barroom when 1 made my entry. I was
soon seated in the midst of- the motley assembly,
and during the interval employed bv mine host in
making certain demands on his larder for mv espe
cial benefit, 1 listened to their chit-chat. A vaunt
ing, se!f-impoitaut disciple of Blackslotie was hold
ing forth in an eloquent (?) tirade against religion
and Christianity in g< n >tal. The circumstance was
somewhat similar to one which happened to Judge
Marshal', of Virginia, while traveling through the
western portion ol the “ Old Dominion.” I had
been seated but a lew moments, when the attorney
wound up with the following:
“ Yes, gentlemen, the w hole system of religion
is one grand humbug, and its votaiies are cither
monomaniacs, or poor, illiterate, deluded -beings.
It is the poor and unlearned alone who are the
most numerous of its disciples. \V hv is it, I ask,
that the poor man is more susceptible than the rich
man to religious influence*? One hundred poor
men become converts to the theory to ten wealthy.
Would you have pi oof? look around you. Why
is it, 1 ask ? What says you stranger, in answer to
this’ interrogatory ?” said the attorney, turning
abruptly to an elderly, rallier distinguished looking
gentleman, who sat quietly smoking his pipe in a
far corner of the room, and who hail arrived at the
inn but an hour or two before me.
“What is the reason, you ask ? Why it is sim
ply because the wealthy are too much occupied
w ith the business, the cares, and pleasures of life
to give a thought to religion. They wou’t take
time to give the subject a serious thought. One
-aid : *He had a yoke of oxen, and that he pray
ed to be excused ; another a piece of land,’ etc. —
The minds of the poor are not thus absorbed wiih
the trash of the earth, to the exclusion of that which
is priceless. True, God has chosen the weak and
foolish to confound the strong aud wise, in many
instances; yet, believe me, it is not the illiterate
alone who are so bleated of God as to be the re
cipients of his grace and mercies. The wisest men
the world has even seen have acknowledged his
supremacy and power with a willing knee. Where
is an unbeliever now in this enlightened country,
where the majesty, and goodness, and glory of God
have been manifested so often, and so clearly de
monstrated, but that he is a weak, vain upstart ?
The world, from siiDcratilion, ah! from chaos, has
been changed by the same religion, which you, anon,
reviled to be almost a paradise. The dark places
of the earth have been lighted up, the dominion of
the devil has been subverted, and civilizition, by
its instrumentality, now blooms where ferocity
once reigned, and the sound of the Gospel is now
heard among men w here scenes were once enacted
too dark and revolting for gentle ears; and nations
which were once mantled with superstition, and
whose streams were ever tinged with human gore,
and stained, even, w ith the blood of martyrs and of
innocence, now waft in peace the glorious banner
of the cross. Bewate, young man, how you sneer
at that which, lo secure for us, a Saviour offered
up hi* life a willing sacrifice. Did I not know, young
man, that it was thought ignorance on your part
that you thus revile, l would exclaim to you, in the
language of l’aul; ‘O, lull of all subtlety, aud all
mischief, child of the devil, thou enemy of all
righteousness, will thou not cease to perveit the
right wavs of the Lord ? ’
“ Ha, ha, lui!” interrupted the lawyer; “had I
known that I had (waked up an old Methodist
preacl er, 1 would have taken ‘ time by the forelock,’
and run in time.”
“ I am not a Methodist preacher, sir ; I haven’t
that honor ; they arc a pious, a ueful, a revered
class of people, w hom I love and respect.”
“ Who are you, then ?” insolently demanded the
attorney.
“ Font Houston, sir, of Texas.”
Had a thunderbolt fallen in their midst, there
would not have been a more electric motion in the
crowd. In a second the old hero was surrounded,
and twenty welcome hands ware extended. I made
my exit just then to the dining-room, and I looked
back over my aholder, I saw the little crest-fallen
attorney sneaking out of the opposite corner.

Dr. I.onl on Slavery.
Rev. Nathan Lord, 1). I)., President of Dartmou'h
(X. II.) College, Lias written a letter on the Har
|ier’s Ferry affair, to a Virginian, who has publish
ed it in the Richmond (Yu.) Whig. I)r. Lord is
now a man in advanced years—his ago is about 75
—but he reiterates to-day the same principles
which he has taught for the thirty years during
which he has presided over Dartmouth College.—
He has heretofore published letters upon the slave
ry question, which obtained a wide circulation
from tiie Ability and force which characterized
them. Few men surpass him in the cogency of his
thoughts, his vigorous expression of them, and the
fearlessness and courage with which he maintain*
the l ight. lie concludes this last letter to the Yir
giniau, as follows :
“But whether we have democracy, anarchy, or
despotism, we shall not be lid of slavery till the
day ot the Lord, its existence depends not on
forms of government, or philosophical speculations,
or political maiireuvres, or legislative enactments,
or judicial decisions, except as these may temjio
ranly change its name, aspects or conditions, or
vary its locations. The world must live on to its
appointed period. It can live, as things are, only
as it ha* lived, more or less, with aii varieties of
race, character aud condition. These will lind
tiu-ir appropriate spheres aud places, not accord
ing io mere human judgments, but by God’s provi
dential ordering ol Sviietn, Ham and Japhut, agreea
bly to physical law- and the plan of moral govern
ment, iu reference to the ends of tlie present pro
bationary stale. Wherever there is a place and
wark for slaves, there they will be found. All
tilings a e fitted to all other things, and general
laws will have their course. Our only wisdom is
to study them, and live under them ami by them,
in subserviency to their mixed righteous and be
nevolent design. Without a miracle, l see not but
that slaves will yet be called for ill New England
and hy New England men—slaves having tlie at
tributes, if not the name of slaves, and possibly in
worse conditions than we now complai i oT in refer
ence to the South. Why not, if our present gov
ei unient should last another eighty years ? For
Yankees will not perform the menial work of life.
They are above it no'w. The imported free ser
vants of Ireland and other countries will soon be
infected with Yankee independence, and have the
means of living above servile work, ou their own
freeholds! Then who will be our servants ? Shall
vve have Coolies or Africans to hew our wood and
draw our water? And what form of government
shall be over them but that which is adapted to
their comparative rudeness and imbecility, and
conservative ot the general system? The children
and grand children of our present Abolitionists
may yet be first to institute a harder serfdom than
lias yet been known, unless, iudeed, they should 1
themselves be compelled to sell themselves for
bread, and suffer the proper chastisement of their
fathers’ sms for their rebellion against the govern- 1
ment of God.”
A < l.Tgy in m’ Opinion ol Joint Brown.
The venerable Allred Griffith, of the Hdlimore
M. K. Conference, aftcreoutradieting a statement
that he had visited John Brown in jail at Charles
town, and declaring that he never, to the heat of
his knowledge, heard of him until his Harper's
Ferry raid, proceeds to give his opinion of the
whole hand ol insurgents as follows:
As to my opinion ol John Brown and his coadju
tors and accomplices, (whether present or hundreds
of miles away,) it is that if any men, or set of men,
ever forfeited their lives to the offended and viola
ted laws of their country, so did John Brown and
his associates in crime—lor they had, one and all,
both directly and constructively, committed and
perpetrated the highest grade of crime known to
the crimnal jurisprudence of all the civilized nations
of the earth through all periods of their history, to
wit: Murder, xedteioux insurrection and treason,
and I have honored and still honor, Virginia, no
less for her fearless firmness than for her vigilance
in prosecuting with fairness, to condign punish
ment, the miserable perpetrators.
Tim Conventional IHllledgevllle—A Cobb
Trick.
We think that the Legislature of Georgia had
but lit'le to do, or rather that portion of the mem
bers who tried to palm off upon the people of
Georgia this great Cobb Trick ! We would like to
know why Howell Cobb himself was not placed
upon the Electoral Ticket? Why not give Mr.
Cobb the entire ticket composed of bis kith and
kin? Ah, gentlemen, this trick won’t do. The
people of Georgia have been bought out and sold
too often by this Cobb clique. The Legislature
was sent to Miiledgeville for the purpose of ma
king laws, and not to appoint delegates to the
Charleston Convention. The people, by the ap
pointment of an Executive Committee, have taken
tliis authority and responsibility from the Legisla
ture, and now the Legideturc has no more authori
ty to call a Convention than we have. We are
down on any such move—to say nothing of the
oppointment of John W. Evans as an Elector,
who is clearly and undeniably not only an outside
Democrat, but a disorganizes We say that such
a pill is too bitter —it won't go. The very idea of
such usurpation of authority is perfectly sickening,
and most heartily do we commend and honor those
members who withdrew from the aforesaid Con
vention, and if there is anything in signs', we say
the Democracy will in the future, be if possible,
more willing than ever to entrust the interest of
the party to their keeping. We sav that we
believe that a majority of the Democratic party of
(ieorgia will endorse their action, and condemn

Eulogy on the late James T. Archer.—The
Hall of the House of Representatives was crowd
ed on Tuesday last by ladies and gentlemen of
Leon, anti citizens from other portions of the
State, to listen to an Eulogy, delivered by Colonel
Leo. T. Ward, at the request of the members of
the Tallahassee liar, upou the lite and character of
the late James T. Archer. The Speaker portray
ed the noble qualities of the deceased in the social
circle, as a member of the bar, and iu all the
walks of private and public life—but it was more
particularly as a member of the bar, that his ex
ample was worth) the admiration and imitation of
those whom he immediately addressed. It was
not by the number of cases which he had upon
the docket, nor by the amount of fees which he
realized, by which he could estimate the hold
which James T. Archer had upon the confidence
and esteem of his fellow citizens, but upon the
amount of litigation which lie had prevented, by
his friendly interposition. Viewing his character
in this light, the speaker did not hesitate to say
that Jas. T. Atelier had no equal in this State or
in the Union. There was no position within the
gift of the people or their representatives that he
could not have obtained, had he desired it.—Tal

One ok Brown’s Men Akrkstkh. —Our town
was thrown into some excitement this morning by
the arrest of a man who calls biinselt Abberstein,
who has been for some time stationed at Cah&ba
in the book business. He was arrested upon a
warrant issued at Cahab?, where he will be taken
for trial. We learn that alter leaving that place
his trunks were broken open, and documents were
found sufficient to implicate him in Brown's busi
ness beyond a doubt.— Marion (Ala.) Common

A contemporary says he knows a youth, who
every time he wishes to get a glimse at his sweet

“ Where ?”

Aiiolitionist Hr no in Kentucky.—Wehavejust
received information from a private source, that a
few days ago an Ohio Abolitionist, named Hay was
arrested by the Yigilauce Committee in a certain
county in Kentucky. He had incendiary papers
on his person. As he had been caught in the at
tempt to circulate these documents, previously, and
warned that he should be hanged if caught at it
again, he was this time swung up without further
ado. —Few York liny Book.
Slaves without Masters.—The constitution of
Illinois asserts that “ all men are boru free and
equal,” according to the abolition interpretation of
this quotation, and yet, strange inconsistency, goes
on to sav no negro shall vote, nor sit upou a jury,
nor be a witness, nor intermarry with a white per-
IBon, nor be required to bear arms. Pray what are
they permitted to do in such a glorious state of
freedom ?
The Presideni’s IflUitAage
W ashimitos, December *27.—Tlie President, af
ter expressing his gratitude to the Almighty for
the blessings vouchsafed throughout the past year,
‘• 3'e*-s to the recent bloody occurrences at Harper’s
Kerry.
Uißi'i:k’s KERRY.
He says:—“These events, bad and eruel in them
selves, derive their chief importance from a feeling
ol apprehension, and are but the symptoms of an
incurable disease in tiie public mind, w hich may
break out in still more dangerous outrages, and
terminate at last in an open war by the North to
abo ish slavery. While he himself entertained no
such apprehension* they ought to afford a solemn
warning to all, to beware the approach of such
dangers. Let me implore mv countrymen. North
and South, to cultivate the ancient feelings of mu
tual forbearance and good will towards each other,
and that they strive to allay that demon spirit of
sectional hatred and strife now alive in both direc
tions. This advice proceeds from tlie heart of an
old public functionary, whose career of service
eommeneed in ihe last generation of the wise and
conservative statesmen of that day ; but be indulges
no gloomy forebodings, aud thinks the Harper’s
Ferry affair may be the means of allaying all ex
isting excitement, and preventing further out
breaks.”
SLAVKRY IN THE TERRITORIES.
The President cordially congratulates Congress
on the final settlement, by tin* IT.l T . S. Supremo
Court, of the question of slavery in the Territories.
I’he riuht has been established of every citizen to
take his property of ally kind, iueluding slaves, into
the ‘Territories, belonging equally to tbe whole
confedration, and have it protected there under
the Federal Constitution. Neither Congress, nor
any Territorial Legislature, nor any human power
whatever, has the authority to annual or impair
this vested right. Thus has thj status ot a Terri
tory during the intermediate per,od, from its first
settlement until it become a State, been irrevocably
fixed by the final decision of the Supreme Cou't.
The President then describes the mode of admis
sion of a Territory, as a State of the Union. A
Territory may be admitted with, or without slavery,
as its Constitution may prescribe. This principle
has been recognized in some form, bv tlie almost
unanimous vote of both Houses of tiie last Cou
gress.
THE SLAVE TRADE.
Os the slave trade, the President says that all
lawful means at his command have been employed
tor its suppression, and tint he will still continue
to use every effort in his power against its prose
cution. Our history proves that the fathers of the
Republic, as well as all civilized natious, have con
demned the slave trade.
TKAEATY MATTERS, ETC.
Ratifications of the Chinese treaty have been ex
changed between the two Governments. Two
supplemental articles are yet pending, relating to
the rights ot American citizens iu China, and the
subject of tian.sit duties.
The difficulties with Paraguay have been satis
factorily adjusted.
Our relations with France, Russia and all the
Continental Governments of Europe, Spain per
haps excepted, continue of the most friendly char
acter.
The President recommends that an appropriation
be made to meet the demauds of the ArminUtid
claimants.
THE ACQUISITION OF CUBA.
His opinion in favor of the acquisition of Cuba
by fair purchase remains unchanged. He there
fore again invites the serious attention of Congress
to this important subject.
ORKAT BRITAIN.
The President, until recently, had good reasons
for believing that he would be able to announce in
this message that all our dilficulties arising under
the (’layton-Balwer treaty had been finally adjusted
in a manner both houorable and satisfactory to
each party. From causes, however, which Greai
Britain had not anticipated, she has not vet com
pleted her treaty arrangements with Honduras and
Nicaragua, iu pursuance of a previous understand
ing between the two governments. It is, never
theless, confidently expected that this will shortly
be accomplished.
TIIE SAN JUAN AFFAIR.
In relation to the Island of San Juan, he enter
tains no doubt of the validity of our title. Geu. |
Scott was entrusted with the arrangement of the i
affair to a certain extent, and the President is j
happy in being able to state that it could not have !
been placed in better hands. Gen. Scott having j
successfully accomplished his mission, there is no
longer any reason to apprehend a collision between
the respective forces during the pepdenev of ne
gotiations.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
The President regrets that the condition of our
relations with Mexico are unimproved. He speaks
on the subject at length, saying : “ Outrages of the
worst desetiption have been committed upon the
persons and property of our citizens. There is
scarcely any form of injury which has not been
suffered by American citizens residing in that
country. During the past few years we have been
nominally at peace with Mexico ; but as far as our
interests, our commerce, or our citizens resident
there in a private capacity, were concerned, we
might as well have been at war.” Mr. McLaue, in
August last, wrote: “ I hope the President will
feel authoiized to demand from Congress the power
to enter Mexico with military force, at the vail of
the Constitutional authorities, in order to protect
our citizens and treaty rights. Unless such power
be conferred on bim, the evils complained of must
increase,” ete.
The President adds: “ I have been reluctantly
led to the same opinion, and I feel bound to an
nounce this conclusion to Congress. This is a
question which relates to the future as well as the
present and the past. The aid whirb he requires,
and which the interests of all commercial countries
require she should have, belongs to tbis govern
ment to render, not only by virtue of our neigh
hood to Mexico, but by virtue also of our establish
ed policy, which is inconsistent with the interven
tion of auy Europeou power in the domestic con
cerns of that Republic.”
For the reasous above given the President re
commends the passage of a law expressly author
izing him to employ such a military force as may
be necessary to enter Mexico for the purpose of
obtaining indemnity for the past and security for
the future. Should volunteers be selected for this
duty, a sufficient force could be easily raised in the
country among those who sympathise with the suf
ferings of their fellow-citizens in Mexico, and with
the unhappy condition of that country. Such an
accession to the forces of the Constitutional Go
vernment of Mexico, would enable it soon to reach
the capital of that eouutry.
The President also recommends the establish*
! ment of a chain of military posts along the Mexican
j boundary Hue between the States of Sonora and
Chihuahua, tor the protection of the lives and pro
perty of American citizens against the depredations
of hostile Indians.
ARIZONA.
The President recommends the establishment of
a Territorial Government in Arizona.
CENTRAL AMERICA.
In relation to Central American aßairs, the Prt si
dent thinks that the provisions of the recent treat v
with Nicaragua cannot fail to be satisfactory to the
American people, lie recommends the passage of
a law authorizing the employnteiit of a I nited
States Naval force for the purpose of protecting
A met lean travelers over the Panama, Nicaragua
and Tehauntepec routes.
PROTECTION OF AMERICAN COMMERCE.
He again recommends that authority he given
him to employ a naval force to protect American
commerce from seizure and confiscation by the
Mexican and Spanish-Atneriean States.
POSTUFFICE DEPARTMENT.
The President refers to the failure of the Poet
oflice Appropriation Bill at the last session of Con
gress, and recommends the passage of a bill at the
earliest day to pay the amount due mail contrac
tors, with interest; also to make the necessary ap
propriation lor that Department lor the current
year.
PACIFIC RAIL ROAD.
The President recommends the completionol the
Pacific Rail Road, for reasons given bv him i.r pre
vious messages.
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY’S REPORT.
The President says that it appears to he e itretne
ly doubtful, from the Report of the Secretary of
the Treasury, whether we shall be able to pass
through the present and the next fiscal yew with
out an additional source of revenue. Should auy
VOLUME XXXVII.—NO. 41.
i ‘ dietetic) occur, he recommends that the necessa
ry revenue be raised by an increase in the present
duties on imports.
DISTRICT or COLUMBIA.
The President, in conclusion, recommends to the
justice and liberality of Congress the local interest*
of the District of Columbia.
An Excellent Letter for every one to Kent!.
The following letter, says the Philadelphia Led
; ger % was w ritteu by Daniel Webster nearly eight
.years ago. It originates iu homely topics, and
proceeds from those to others of more general
import and interest—the duties of a patriot under
the Constitution and l nion. We published it some
years ago, but it is worth re-publishing and re
reading :
lbetter from Daniel Webster to John Taylor ]
\V ashi.kotos, March 17, 152.
“John Taylor: Go ahead. The heart of the

enemy to the whole country.
John lay lor:—il one of your boys should say
that he honors his father and mother, and loves
his brothers and sisters, but still insists that one of
them should be driven out of the family, what can
you say ot him but this, that there is no real fami

talk politics ; our talk is of oxen ; but remember
this, that any man who attempts to excite one part

he would be who should attempt to get up a quar

with the laws of other states, tell them ‘that you
mean to mind your own business,’ and advise them
to mind theirs. John Taylor, you are a free man ;
I ’ ou possess good princiDles : von have a 1.-q. e —•

thankful to the government which does not oppress
you, which does not bear you down by excessive
taxation, but. which holds out to you and to yours
the hope of all the blessings which liberty, indus
try and security may give. John Taylor, thank
God, morning and evening, that you were born in
such a country. John Taylor, never write me
another word upon politics. Give my kindest re
membrance to your wife and children ; and when
you look from your eastern windows upon the
graves of mv family, remember that he who is the
author of this letter must soon follow them to an
other world. Daniel Webster.”
Goon News for Richmond and the South. —On
Saturday evening a despatch was received by the
Faculty here from Phiadelpbia, askiug upon what
terms the Richmond Medical College would receive
one hundred and fifty Southern medical students
for the present session. The Faculty very prompt
ly, and properlv, replied that, as the said Btudents
had alreadv paid their College fees in Philadelphia,
they would fie cordially teceived here and be in
structed without cost, save only that those, who
should graduate, would be expected to pay their
graduation fees We take it for granted that the
proposition will be accepted and that thus a ver*
important sep will be taken Tor building up oi r
Medical College, and aiding in the independence
of the South. —Richmond Enquirer.
Wanted.—lt is stated that many of the Repre
sentatives in Congress are sadly in want of the
three thousand dollars, lawful currency, which they
can pocßet the moment that there is a Speaker to
sign a warrant on the Treasury for the aggregate
amount. A correspondent of the Charleston Mer
cury gops so far as to hint that until this money is
in circulation, even the people of King Faro ctn
not, profitably engage in the right royal pastime of
‘'fighting ye tiger.”
“ Union Saving.”—Mr. Wilson, who succeeds
Daniel Webster in the United States Senate from
Massachusetts, speaks with great contempt of the
“ Union Saving Meetings,” as he calls them, and
points to the election of a Black Republican Mayor
in Boston immediately after the late Union meet
ing. He also boasts that Massachusetts will give
the next Republican candidate for the Presidency
fifty thousand majority. There is too much reason
to fear that these boastings are well founded, aDd
that the conservatives of Massachusetts are in a
hopeless majority.
The Progress of Non-Intercourse.—The move
ments of the South towards an entire cessation of
all traffic with the North, and towards arming them
selves against future emergencies, have resulted
thus far in very largely increasing one branch of
| Northern traffic. The trade in arms and munitions
; of war, rifles, swords, and especially military but
tons, gold laee and feathers, was never so brisk in
the North as it is just now. We understand that
large orders are received from the South by our
merchants for supplies of these articles.— Jt. Y.

a visit at Niagara Fails last July. The girl gives a
deplorable account of her ill-treatment by the
Canadian free negroes. Tlte marks upon her body
show that she hns received severe whippings.—
Eluding her captors she reached the American side
of the river, where she procured the means necesa
ry to reach her master. She expresses great joy
at her return.
