Statue of the Greek Slave.

This admirable work Of Powers, the Amer
lean sculptor, is shortly 10 be exhibited in
this country. 1t is thus described by the
"Literary World."
1.-The Greek Slave is a young and lovely
girl, standing in an attitude indicative at
once Of genuine modesty, keen suffering, and
beautiful resignation. She is chained by the
wrists to a column. The figure is life size.
The great charm of the work consists in its
noble simplicity. The expression is affect
ing in the highest degree, and there is about
the statue that indetinable atmosphere of
grace and purity which distinguishes the
sculptor of real genius
Those who have the care of this statue
will hardly think of venturing south of Ma
sons ard DiXon's line. Our southern breth-
rem cannot bear even the presence of an anti
slavery tract, much less the picture of a chain
ed slave, and it would be folly to expect of
them to tolerate the life-like form of female
captive. 1t may perhaps pass uncondemned
by public sentiment ard unmutilated by
Lynch law, if the marble out of which it is
cut is as white and pure ds the Anglo,Saxon
race, but if it have the least tinge of yellow
upon which may be based a suspicion that
the captive has African blood in her veins,
we prophecy the destruction of the statue,
and the denunciation of Hiram Powers as an
abolitionist Of the Garrison school.

as will appear by a notice in another place.
the Concert, from which considerable was
expected, was a failure, or nearly so. This
was h'wever, no fault Of the performers
The blight appointed for it was rainy, no ar
engagements had been made 10 secure a proper
place Tor them 10 sing in, and the canvass of
the tent, where they were obliged to perform,
If at all, was saturated with water, and the

tanned aOmittance without asking for the door
keeper. Yet Under all these discourapinr
circumstances, several fine pieces were per-
formed, and those who claim 10 be Judges in
such matters said they were ,ceA performed.
We were delighted with what we heard, and
only regretted that suitable arrangements had
not been made to secure for the Society all
might have been realized from the mu-
steal contribution of these friends of the
cause.

a STRUGGLE FOR FReeDoM.-The Mercer
Luminary gives the following account of a
slave who recently pas sed through that place
on his way TO Canada
He was from Louisiana, and he has been
three months in performing his pilgrimage
journey, with nothing but the river for his
guide, and in a land Of enemies, the greater
part Of the way, ready to seize and return
him to his prison-house of bondage. He is
about % years OF age, and this is the second
attempt made to gain his freedom. The first
was made some years since, which proved
unsuccessful. as he was recaptured and taken
back, when he was put 10 work again on a
cotton plantation. with a heavy bar of iron
attached 10 one Of his legs. This was worn
by him for years; when. supposing that tho
spirit of manhood was crushed in him, it was
removed. He still cherished in his bosom a
desire for liberty, and when an opportunity
offered, resolved TO make another desperate
effort to crafty it. In this he has been sue
cesslul.
