PARTICULAR OF THE WRrox OF STEAMER
JoHN ADAMS. II seems that the telegraphc
accounts which are more generally exaggerated,
fell below the reality in stating this dreadful dis
aster, which proves to be one Of the most heart
rending ever recorded, even in the annals Of
western steamboat navigation--no less than ~
lives being lost as will be seen by the following
reliable statement:
On Monday morning. Jan. 9th, at 3 o'clock
the steamer John Adams. Capt. II. A. Jones,
with heavy freight and large number of pms
sengers. bound for Cincinnati, and when near
the head Of Island 81, struck q snag or stump
and sunk in two minutes. The cabin parted from
the hull, and the latter went down in about 30
feet of water There were about 80 or 100
deck passengers, part Of whom only were saw
ed. The cabin in breaking separated in the
middle. which doubtless was the cause of many
of the passengers saving their lives. The ladies'
in the cabin we're all saved After suffering
many hours in the water. they were enabled to
get ashore nj the plantation Of Mr.. Carter The
forward portion Of the cabin including the fix
lures hoated down to the head of Island q,
where IT grounded.
About three o'clock p. NJ the " Peytona" came
along, and took the passengers on board from
that part of the wreck, from whence ahe pro-
ceeded, with all possible haste to the other por-
ton of the wreck, where she took al on board.

Owing TO the time Of her sinking-cvery one
being asleep. and it being so sudden-icw were
able TO get sufficient clothing to cover them, and
many Of them are, indeed, in a most destitute
condition
From Capt Schalcross and others we make
the following summary of persons on the boat
and the number saved. The number on board
was as follows: Cabin passengers 100, deck

To Correspondents

Short Sermons have been received. We think
the theology decidedly preferable to that which
is now popular-but doubt the utility of its
publication in our columns.
A long communication in verse on the death
of a young lady, has been received. Though
containing many excellent sentiments, its poetic
merits arc not such as to authorize its publica-
ton.
A correspondent from Adrian, Michigan,
writes =" We have very prosperous Anti
Slavery Sewing Circle in this village numbering
nearly seventy members, who meet every alter
nate, Thursday, and arc doing great quantity
Of work. We hope soon to see some OF your
good Anti-Slavcry lecturers in Michigan
There is a great work for them to do in the
State. The labors of Messrs. Walker and Treat
have awakened interest and sympathy in be-
half of the oppressed, and the cry is, send US
more lecturers" We shall be happy to hear of
the progress of the cause from our Michigan
friends. VIII they report to us occasionally
from different points.

Alter long conversation, In which Wedley
described the street in which he resided
gave general account of the city; told the
names of the principal inhabitants, and their
business, together with the names of all the
Mayors for some years back, the gentleman
became convinced that he was freeman. lie
was, however, taken away and chained to a
bed post, where he remained for twenty hours
but was finally released by the gentlman who
had interrogated him SO closely, who like
wise pointed out the road which he must
pursue, in order TO escape from his kidnap-
pers. lie had been three days in irons.
This gentleman deserves the highest credit
for his kindness, since otherwise Wedley
might have been doomed to drag out life Of
hopeless servitude, and we only regret that
we are unable TO find out his name. To-
wards the close of last week, Wedey nriy-

may be, may receive that punishment which

Persecution in North Carolina.

Rev. Jesse Mcbride, whom our readers will
recollcct was tried some time since in North
Carolina, for giving away copy of tho Ten
Commandments, has more recently been sub.
ject to threats, insult and persecution, for his
opposition to slavery. On Sabbath the 26th Of
May, as We learn from correspondent of tho
True Wesleyan, he was met on his way to
meeting by company of armed men, who car
ricd him from Guilford into Forsythe County,
assuring him they were prepared to carry him
beyond the limits of the State, unless he de-
parted voluntarily, and that he could not be
permitted to return. They then compelled him
to bind himself in the sum Of $500, that he
would leave before the 3lst, and would neither
return or send any incendiary publications into
the State. The preservation of his life, depend
ing upon his making this stipulation. After
issuing an cdict that Rev. Daniel Wilson should
preach no more-partaking of refreshments, and
calling meeting at the Court House that even
ing to consult upon the case of the Rev. J.
Crooks, the mob disbanded. On the 2sth, In COM
pany with Mr.. S. Frazier, he left the field Of
his past labors and trials. lie has left, it is
said, numerous friends who sympathiso with
him in his principles and persecution. The
good seed he has sown will yet bring forth
fruit

Freeman Kidnapped.

A colored man named Charles Wedley,
residing on Arlhur's street, where he owns
some property, recently wished to pay visit
TO the east, but as he had not money enough
to take him on, was about To 90 down the
river on a steamboat, to earn some, when a
colored man named Lindsey Lewis and n
white man named Spcer, offered to pay his
expenses on the journey; il he would travel
with them. They said that they had plenty
of money, and Inc accepted their invitation.
The three set out on foot, aud when they
reached Licking Creek in Bedford county, a
gang of ruilians rushed upon Wedley and de-
clAred that they knew him well-ihathe was
u slave, and had escaped from Wheeling.
il is needless to say that this was lalsehood,
poor Wedey having heen borll in this city,
where he has ever since resided but despite
his resistance and prayers, he was ironed
and hurried over the Maryland line. Lewis
aud Speer returned TO Pittsburgh without
going TO Philadelphia, as they now allege
for Wedley's free papers, hut an aunt of the
latter, asking Lewis after his arrival, where
her nephew was, he said that he had remain,
cd in Philadelphia.
In the mean Time, Wedlcy, closely guard
ed and heavily ironed, was taken into the
interior of Maryland, where he was Offered

quainted with number of persons in Pitts

that lie declared he would not prchase hin

and would not only run off himself bu
cause his other slaves to escape likewise

The Conference Of Friends.

We would call attention to the Conference of
Friends whose proceedings VIC publish in anoth-
or column. The platform on which our friends
have planted themselves, is the true one. Sect
and sex and race are unknown as qualifications
for equal standing. Love, and not opinion is
their bond of unity. No changelcss forms of
service or duty are imposed, but mans pro-
gressive nature is recognized, by determina-
tion to abandon whatever of tho past or pres
ent, will not bear the test of reason, or the
scrutiny of investigation, and a like determi-
nation to embrace whatever is truthful and good.
On such aplatform the slave will find his clear
sighted active friends. We can but congratu-
late some of our friends on this occasion that
they are fairly free from the shackles of Sec
tartan organizations. Loving liberty as they
do, they will be slow to bring themselves again
into bondage.

different from other people. We arc not a
monster, all benevolcnce. Our motives are Of
quite mixed character. We love the cause in
which we are called to labor. We love the work
that cause demands. We love the slave in
some measure as our brother. We love and
would secure knowledge and freedom for all
mankind.
But then we love what is needful for life
We love for ourself and family what is neccssa-
ry to give respcctability and comfort in the So
cicty where we dwell. We lovo that indepen-
dence in regard to the means Of living, which
will enable us to stand erect before all men
which is indispensable to elf-reliance-bappi-
ness and usefulness This independence, the
agent can hardly hope to maintain, if there is
dolcd out to him pittance barely sufficient for
present necessity, and this bestowed as a char-
ty, from the obligation for which it is impossible
to cscape,--compelling him TO give up his work,
or assume the position of bcggar, and receive
commiscration as such. No, place IAN upon
the same ground with other laborcrs, ntelloc-
tual and physical. Let what he receives, pc
cuniarily be as a reward for time and toll, not q
gratuity.

pilation of the True Democrat, is as follows
Whites, l9,66s,736; Free Colorcd, 9,l73
Slaves, 3,l79,5S0; Total, 2S, lO2,0s7. In 1910,
it was Whites, l4,l66, ,564; Free Colorcd, $780,
293; Slaves, 2,4S7,ll3; Total, l7,330,O7O
In 81 years the population has increased from
less than four 10 over twcnty-thrce millions.
At the same ratio of increase, at the close of the
present century, it will exceed one hundred
millions. The increase of the slave population
has been as follows. In 1870, 697, 1897. In 1900
S93,OIl. In 1910, l,l9l,36l. In 1920, 1885,.

Literary Notices.

The HroHRR Law, tried by Reason and Au-

containing two essays, the one on the duty Of
obedience and the other Of disobediencc to un-
just laws The position taken on both sides Of
this very plain question, are here briefly and
clearly presented. The one places nature and
conscience upon the throne and demands hom-

ANTI-SLAyERY DOCUMENTS: The Common

ton as an excellent anti-slavery document
1t is accompanied with brief notes, the substance
of which is, that the word Stare docs not occur
in the Constitution. We presume it will not
stop with the publication of the one document.
If we might venture to suggest, We would
mention the Jewish code so far as it relates to
servants from the heathcn,' and the American
fugitive slave law as a continuation of the
series. The anti.slavcry character of both, is
fortified by the same invulncrable argument.

BRANDRETHS PILLS.

RIGS. Pilts, &c. DC.
4 SE tho pills Two or three times week in
- doses sufficient TO purge freely; and when 4
paroxism comes on, a fearless use Of the pills
must be made; down with six or eight. and in a
little while repeat the dose; do this until the
bowels are strongly purged. This effected, the
danger is over FOR ihal attack. Angina pcrtors
and stone in the gali-hladdcr are treated in the
same manner; and although considered incurabie
by the medical profession, are cured by The use
Of Brandicth's Pills. Piles are cured by Bran
dreih's Pills. In severe attacks the doses must
be full; six eight for few nights together will
cure the worst cases. Whenever this disease
comes on in the treatment OF other diseases, it ia
good sign; use nothing hui the pills, and, as an
outward application, cold cream on lard. and make
frequent use Of cold water locally. Where there
have been peciorai affections. as asthma, con-
sumption. &c. perseverance will be required with
The pills to effect parmancn; cure. But any
other course viii assuredly bring on the pec,oral
affection.
Ii cases If DcJikty. Weakness. Wasfinys, De-
eines. or Consumption approaching. it will be
necessary TO commence with small Doses BEGIN
with one pill going 10 bed; next night Two nils:
do this alternately for three or four DAYS. or long
er; if no alteration takes place. then increase 4
pill each night until five or six pills are used. then
decrease by one pill down 10 one pill. should any
feverish symptoms arise, then take strong doses
until the fever is reduced. When this is done. the
patient may drop down 10 such doses as their
own Judgment shall determine; being careful to
keep the drain upon the impure humors MS these
are removed, so will lie their advancement TO
sound health. .,s.
