On Sabbath last we we're present at
singular and novel scene in Jefferson
county. 1t was a negro meeting under
an outrageous and wide spread ng
white oak, on the plantation Of D Sell
lers, ESQ in company with several gen
tlemen, all of whom controlled the
muscles Of their faces, 50 as not to crack
d smile. We sat down near an audi
ence Of more than two hundred he
groes.
The wooley-headed pulpit orator arose
with a most portentous GRAVITY. his
mouth was enormously vide, and filled
full of great white double teeth; and
Al soon as he gave vent to his voice, it
was evident that q gospel lion would be
heard as 0 as he got warmed up, and
had put his lungs in full blast.
The following is an accurate specimen
Of what this sable divine poured and
beloved out for more than an hour;
