DARING FEAr.-The American frigate
"Macedonian," formerly conquered from
England, and sent over to Ireland with n
supply Of provisions, was waiting of the
bank on the 9th Of August, when the
Queen arrived in the Clyde. Just when
the Queens steamer was about to pass the
Macedonian, aud while cnnnons were roar-
ing from the shore 10 every direction, and
the atmosphere resounding with tho huzzas
ofthc multitude, two yankee Sailors were
observed on board tho American frigatc,
the ono sitting on the summit Of the FORE
top royal, and the other on tho summit Of
the NIXON top royal mast. Immediately q
mother "Rcpublicnn Tar" was observed go
ing up the main-maist; he also run up the rig
ging to the top royal mast, which he nimbly
assembled, and standing on its very top with
ono foot, no deliberately took oil his hat,
waved it three times round over his head,
and gave a cheer to her Majesty.
A seaman on board one Of the Queens
ships was next seen attempting TO ascend 10
the summit Of the topmnst; but when he
had nearly reached tho top, the thick head.
cd "John Bull" concluded he didn't have a
sufficiency Of Yankee courage to accomplish
such daring feat, so he very wisely "slid
down. "-Eaglish Paper.

We trpnsfer to our columns, from the kep0T-

Danish colonies:
"a Copenhagen letter states. that in July
IS when the Governor General Of the Danish
colonies in America, General Count Sehelten,
was about to return to ST. Croix. to resume his
functions, the King delivered TO him the follow
ing rescript for the abolition Of slavery:
. Christian VIII, by the grace Of God, hing
Of Denmark, &C., moved by feelings Of justice
and humanity, and taking into consideration the
welfare Of our colonies in the West Indies, as
well as the interests Of the planters in those
colonies, we will decide that the arbitrary pow
srs which the slave owners possess over their
slaves shall entirely cease; hat, in order 10 pro-
tect the interests of al, aud to forward the
measures necessary for preparing this transition
in the state Of the slaves, this change shall mol
take place until twelve years from the date Of
this present reseript; that is to say, until the
2Sth July, 1859, and from the present time I'll
then, the sfafN quo shall be preserved Never
theless il is our will that the children Of slaves
who may be born after the present day, shall De
free from their birth, but shall remain with theil
mothers or relations, under conditions which
we shall hereafter make known
"By another rescript, of the same day, th'
King directs the Governor General Of these col
onies to appoint, Immediately on his return Il
Saint Croix, a commission, comprised Of mem
1 bers of the Colonial Government, public fnnc
tionaries, and ether enlightened men, to conside
and propose the measures to be taken for carry

But, seriously, fellow-citizens. We esteem
it sad, a humiliatiDg. fact, which should
penetrate the heart Of every ViTginian, that
from the year 1870 to this time, Virginia
has lost more people by emigration, than all
the old free States together. Up to 1910,
when the last census was taken, she had
lost more by nearly 100000. She has sent,
or we should rather say, she has driven from
her soii-at least one third Of all the emf
grants, who have gone from the old States
10 the new. More than another tkiId have
gone from the other old slave States. Many
of these multitudes, who have left the slave
States. have Stunned the regions OF slave
ry, and settled in the free countries Of the
West. These were generally industrious
and enterplising white men. who found by
sad experience, that country OF slaves was
not the country for them. II is a truth. a
