Ma BsnxErr--Loasger, one Of he Armi. tsad
blacks, was buried yesterday He was Of the Foulah
tribea harmless noffensive race, about one degree
below the dullest ape to be found In a menagerie.
His brother was confined in the same apartment
with him, and was apparently aware that he was
dying but neither the brother any Of the rest
showed the least sympathy nor feeling during his
sickness and death. On the contrary, the ssaerings
and confessions that Immediately preceded dissolu-
tion,were highly amusing them and the only symp-
toms Of real delight that have ever witnessed
among them were exhibited al the funeral Of Loan
gar, when four Of the blacks were selected as pail
bearers, and decorated for the occasion. Hats were
given to the four, but they had idea Of the use
for which they were intended. They received them
in stupid amazement-looked at one another, and
twiddled them in their fingers. Several spectators
we're present, and one of the Reverend Aboltonists
erked hat from the hand OF the nearest black, and
pressed it hastily ON his hsad though ashamed at
such want Of dscility in his clients The action was
mmed iately initiated by the other three, and they
looked at another, grinned, and nodded their
heads.
"No very extraordinary manifestation Of intelli
gence here, Mr. Ludlow said /, pointing to the
bsboon-like expression Of the pail bearers.

hung, / guess, some Of them at any rate"
The Abolitienists were somewhat shocked at the
want Of decorum on the removal OF the dead body,
and still more at the unbecomlng and extraordinary
levy of the pail bearers, and viii hardly risk ano

Of them at least will not recover. They have all
suffered from their imprudent iKdulgen at Gardi-
ners Island. Ii very hot day, and after drink
ing moderately Of cold water, they rushed into
a field and devoured vast quantities OF the raw

tedious sea voyage, but this description seems to
be acongenial to the Africans.
The Abslitonists are disappointed at the civility
and psliteness with which they have been treated
by the Marshall and his subordinaes They from
Hartford, expecting, and dare say hoping, to be
repealed and treated with rudeness, at least, not de-
MED access the blacks altogether and they had

They have been as busy the devil in gale of wind,
and with designs equally praiseworthy but is not
apprehended that any particular mischief will result
from their exertions. The public mind has become
somewhat infamed, and many humane persons who
decidedly hostile to the views and intentions
Of the Abolitionists have been induced by their in
sdious and false representations to close their eyes
