The 4botitfonistsLAA Il Scene. e.LWe
should5lilseto have been in Boston,
Mass, ifecentlyto have witnessed a
conversation between, Mr.. G. NJ
Trowbridge's boy, Jim, whom he had
taken out with him, and some dozen
abolitionists, who were endeavoring
to get him awoy from his MASTER
They tried him two or three times,
and pointed out the advantages of
his residing in d free State, and the
amount of money he could make by
so doing. Jim listened to them with
patience, and after they had got
through, informed them that the In
ducements offered werenot sufficient
----that he had seen, since he had
been North, small sample of the
elephant, and SO far as to the money
he could make there, it would not
furnish him with segdrS I'M Augusta
for one year. One of them pointed
to Jimls clothing, and tried TO i'm
press on him that he was decentiy
clad only because he was on North;
that he would not be dressed so at
home-to which Jim replied that
they must not judge of his clothing
by what he had on, as that was his
travelling suit, but if they wished to
see his Sunday-go-to- meetings, he
would show them his travelling trunk
at the Hotel. After this latter con-
versation, the Abolitionsts left poor
Jim TO his fate, and unless they kid
nap and imprison him, we think he
will return in safety to Georgia with
his Observation-Disclosures.
Mysteries Of GamJling.-A case
illustrating some Of the mysteries and
the hazard of the die, as also lodges
used for easing the purses Of unsus-
pecting victims, will shortly be
brought before the notice of the pub
lie. AS far as we can at present
learn the facts, it appears that few
weeks since, two gentlemen who
were on visit to New York, for the
purpose ofbuying merchandise, were
introduced to the company of two
gamblers, bya friend, also mer-
chant, but doing business in this city.
The strangers, unsuspicious of foul
play, were induced to play at hazard
with dice, alta Hotel in the Fourth
Ward, which has been heretofore
considered highly respectable, when
at various sittings. they lost to the
tune of $4,000. Last Sa urdav night
one of them commenced playing,
and Played until he lost ali the mon
ey he brought with him, besides hav-
ing to give bill for the remainder
On telling their misfortunes to one of
their friends, watch was set, and
suspicion being aroused, the case
was laid before Justice Mountfort,
who ordered the dice to be seized,
when it was found they were load
ed with quicksilver. A warrant was
issued for the arrest of the parties
implicated in the transaction; and as
they are known, there is no doubt
but that they will soon be taken and
held 10 answer.-N. Y. Tribune.
