It appears clearly from this frank statement
Of the kidnapper, that he did the deed from
no +" mercenary" motive, but that he sacri-
feed 'feelings Of nun tnitv and private prin-
ciples" To the laws Of Louisian1! This is
pure disinrerested dought1ceiSm. This he did
in favor Of a wretch who doesn't want the
negro. but wants a high price for him. He
did a thing which he knew to be wrong, IA
GRAVITY wrong, diaboIically wrong, out of
regard for the fine and imprisonment which
the offended laws made just by such wretch
es, would have visited upon him if he had
done it. The Captains motive was not (" mer-
cenary," of course it WAS not the fine that
moved him. 1t was not any inherent rever-
ence for those laws that moved him, for he
sacrificed his private principles" in doing
it. Poor man! Loss ofliberty is bad enough
truly. The slave he sent back knows that.

Musings nj Twilight.

] 'Tis evening-the bewitching hour of evening How
delightful to spread the airy wings Of fancy, soaring
eagles pinons far away beyond the busy scenes
and pleasures ofthe world secude ourselves from all the
perpexng of le and whilst the cool breezcs of
evening playing round, let thought unbridled roam
DER natures broad domain.
Let US follow for moment our thoughts in their
various windings to tie ice-cloud regions of the
North where winter with his sceptre of unequaed
power regns supreme-wheTe all must bow and paw
homage to tyrant king ito the East, where dwell
the master spirits of the ocean, in grottoes lined with
pearls and gold, and where from the spicy regions we
inhale the perfumed air in all its sweetness to the
South, with Its fruits of golden hue. and flowers of
surprising beauty and fragrance; and to the West
with its lakes its beautiful praries Of tall waving
grass, bending in respectful Difference to the mild
breezes of Heaven.
But return We wandering thoughts: cannot We
speak the beauties Of your own New England its
wales and hills its rocks and rs Tell me, oh tell
me, is there happier cline than this Here is the
home of our ancestors, where happiness, peace and
prosperity shine around our path, and cheer us on
ward in the round of life. These are thoughts that
sometimes ntrude upon the sunset hour.
Can We, who love an hour of solitude in imagna-
ton, picture season more lovely, or more In congo
niality with your feelings, than a calm eve-
ming. where all is peaceful all is hushed the go-
rious sun has withdrawn his resplendent beams,
throwing the face of nature mantle of pure eve-
ming twilight, while above you is spread the broad
blue and boundess expanse Of Heaven 1t is the hour
too, for meditation and reflection when in the past
bright and beautiful visions fitting the
minds eye, then suddenly some dark gloomy shadow
arises to chase away the bright and gttering ray.
Thus it is with all at time the sky all cloudless,
then darkness and gloom But must not forget it

upon u.s. and errng feet from the dark path

For the Slate Sentinel.

Having travelled in the States of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, good deal for the last five or six years,
have travelled in the lines of the Messrs. ]. g. p.
Voorhees,, &c., and also in the lines Of the Messrs.
A. L. g. w. L. Ross 81 Co., and 1 find all of their
several lines well conducted, having no reason to CON-
plain l would not trouble you, Messrs. Editors, if
had not seen an article in the Dayton Journal and
copied from the Dayton Journal, into several of the
wing papers in Indiana, with ardent desire to in
iure the stage line of the ROSES. say, disnter
estedy, that the stage lines of the ROSES well
conducted in the States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
as have travelled in their lines in all of these States,
and find their accommodation is good, and their fare
reasonable. As to their lines in Kentucky and other
States, do not know anything about them, but one
thing is certain that no reasonable will complain at
the prices, the accommodations furnished by the
Rosses upon their several lines: and it will be
bered that the Voorheeses charged for single seat IN
their stages between Wheeling and Cincinnati, when
the Ohio river frozen last winter, the small
sum of twenty-five doars-only three times the
amount of the regular fare. The Journal also COM
plains that the Rosses the political fayores of the
Postmaster General. think there is no better evil
dence of the Rosses fulfilling their contracts satisac
torly to all. Except to the few such wings the ed
itor of the Journal and small fry-the Rockville
American than to have the confidence of such man
as Cave Johnson.
My opinion is, that if the Voorheeses could get the
ROSES out of their way, the travelling public would
bc-conpeed to pay twice much stage fare in the
West as they do at present. hope, therefore, that
the stage lines of the Messrs. RS will be sufficiently
patronzed to compete with the monopoly of the
Messrs. VoorheeSes. nope the public will think of
these things, and recOec that they paid about twice
as much stage fare in Indiana previous to the ROSES
getting several routes in Indiana, than they have
since. You that are interested, look into it.

MADAM JUMELL.-We recently made mention of
the insult offered at Saratoga to Madam Jumell. The
following from the correspondent of the Charleston
News describes the affair more fully
Yesterday Saratoga the scene of what some
term most disgracefu outrage while others hold to
a very different opinion. But, de guStibus non est
disPutandum. The facts follows: Madam Ju-
NELL, once the wife of Aaron Burr, is here with
a turn out consisting of four grey horses and ba-
rouche with behind &c. She has several times
rode out with her fooman seated behind the carriage
and all four of her horses ahead however took
any notice of it. Yesterday her carriage and four
stood in front of the hotel hour. On each of the
nigh horses postIIion mounted dressed in livery
with broad gold bands around their hats. During the
time the carriage was in waiting dense crowd had
collected around She had started off in her
carriage, and at the very instant she passed the
ncr of the hotel than she encountered another turn
out exactly like her own with the exception that it
had white postlions and ootmen, and the four horses
a shade lighter, while the sole occupant of the
carnage was shade darker, he being nothing more
nor less than the Negro Tom Campbell, and away they
both went in gallant style amid deafening cheer
from the assembled multitude. On reaching Congress
Spring. the negro's carriage had distanced the Ma
dams. AT this point Madam Jumelrs carriage turn
ed round, and up she came again. But Black Tom
not to be outgeneraled in that manner. His pos
tilliOns wheeled his carriage round mastery style,
and away he went up Broadway again. black Tom
standing erect IN his open carnage displaying SHIN
ing row of ivory from ear to ear and as he passed
the different hotels, gracefully acknowledging the
cheers he received by bowling to the assembled multi
tude, or holding his beaver In one hand while with
white handkerchief in the other he saluted the by
ISLANDERS the sidewalks In this manner they drove
up Broadway, and turned down Church street. About
one hour afterwards they were seen coming down
Congress street, the horses attached to both carriages
neck and neck. Turning the corner they both came
up side aud side to the hotel, black Toms postons
having managed to get their carriage on the inside,
Madam Jumell compelled to drive round to the
side door. Such is plan unvarnished statement of
the facts 1t has created great excitement here.
Several gentlemen have been employed by Madam Ju-
NELL to ferret out the persons who furnished the
gro with money to hire the horses and paid him and
his postons for their services, and the affair pro-
misses some rich developments. To-day Madam Ju-
nell has again rode out drawn by four greys with her
mounted postions. She provided herself, l am
told, with six barrelled revolving pistol.
