HE sEvEREsT THING YET.-A correspondent
Of the Rochester American gives the following
account of sclfemancipated slave, named
Frank Shadwick.
This slave, who is a native of Savannah,
began his work Of emancipation by pur-
chasing hlstime from year to year, at about
500 per anuum, the usual hire for good ser
want. Possessing great energy and much intel
ligencc, with perfect integrity he could both
oversee other slaves and labor well himself, and
very Justly commanded his wages. His sur
plus earnings soon bought him horses and drays,
and enabled him to hire good servants of such
as had them to spare. Thus established in
business, IN the course of Is years he has
made money enough to buy himself at about
$1,000, TO pay larger sum for his wife and
children, and take to Harrisburg three or
four thousand dollars besides. Some ten or
twelve of the first men in Augusta united
in giving him a recommendation. 1t was
with pain and reluctance that Frank left his
troops of friends aud scenes Of his childhood. -
The only motive was the lawful education
of his children an advantage denied them by
tho laws Of Georgia.
