EXTRACTS FROM AMERICAN PAPERS RECENT•

Parcae* *Ora. Sept. 16.
AFRICAN CoLoNl.—One of the 'free airiner') persons,
who left this town for Africa some time aim returned here
on Friday night for his family. He apelike in the most
enraptured terms of the native country of the blacks, des-
cribing it as the garden spot of the world, whither every
freeman of colour should immediately repair. This state•
meat we bad from the person himself, who is an inteHigent
man, awl possessed of considerable property. His repre-
sentalipne, and the anxiety manifested by•him to return to
Africa, will doubtless have a powerful influence on Isis
coloured brethren, many of whom we should .uppose, now
that their fears are removed, will prepare to join their com-
rades in their native land.

The first trial by jury, in our African Colony, took
place at Mowrobia, on the Slat May, Campbell, an onmar.
vied man, from Philadelphia, was charged with " a general
and gross neglect of duty, with incorrigible laziness,
and iu one instance with positively refusing to do his ditty."
The jury found him guilty, and he was seotenced to have
his rations withheld. and Iris connection with the society
as a colonist, dissolved, lie nag, however, suffered to
remain, and labour in the settlement, at a just price, till
the first of November, when he is to be restored or sent
off. according to his industry and good behaviour.
At Petersburg, (Va,) 106 free people of colour, residents
of that town have entered their names to emigrate to the
' African colony at Cape M retired°.
" Itt DE A is a mode of travelling, perhaps
with which most if not all of oar readers are unacquainted.
The process is this :—When two of our Eastern protium
1 wish to wake the same journey, and have but one hone
betwe. n them, they set out, the one on foot and the other
on horseback. and the latter proceeds until he thinks his
companion is weary, when he dismounts, ties the horse to
a fence or tree, and walks on. Whets his companion
'comes np to the horse, be mounts in turn, and rides a
suitable distance, (after passing the other) when he also
!elites the horse ; and thus the two alternately ride and
walk to tue end of their journey. This convenient mode
seems to hale been forcibly adopted on a recent occasion
in North Carolina. A gentleman, as the Western
Carolinian informs us, on horse back, was driving home
a negro, who was tied with rope. and otherwise
ihackled with heavy Irons, weighing 36 pounds. The ne.
gro becoming wearied, flagged a good deal, on which the
neap goaded Limon rather harihly; this induced the negro
to revolt—ihe reized the man by the leg, and pilled him off
his horse; a scuffle theft took place, during which the Mao
got a knife out of his pocket, and attempted to stab the
negro—but the latter managed, by dint of nineculsir
power, to wrest the knife from the former, and cut the rope
by Which he had been previously fsstened. The odds was
now fearfully against the white man ; the negto tied him;
with the rope be had cut loose from himself, to a tree,
mounted the horie, and rode off. [This was really riding
and tying!] It was some time before the gentleman could
unfasten himself, and apprise some of the neighbouring in•
liabitants.of what had happened, and go in pursuit of the
negro. The fellow was, however, retaken. that day or
the next, and safely lodged in Statesville jail. The gentle-
man received no great injury, only some pretty bard flesh
bruises.—(New York paper.)
RHODE ISLAND, OCT. 4.—Tne SEASON.—For several days
preceding Wednesday last, the weather was unusually cold for
tha season. Frost was experienced on this island on Monday
night. Snow fell in some parts of Worcester, and in several
of the neighbouring towns, on Monday afternoon.
latt.,:oartori in Lowe* GEORGIA.—There was in the last
month a general inundation of the loiter part of Georgia which
did great damage, sweeping off almost all the brides, so ne
buildings, and destroying about half of the crops. A letter
from Sunbury states that in Mr. La CODI'd yard, Al miles from
that place, the alligators were seen swimming after the poul-
try, and little infirm negroes were removed Irvin the houses in
boots. At Baisden's Hiuff the Academy buildings were wash-
ed away.
