ENTERPRISE OF THE MASSACHUSETTS,
observation-disclosures has just thrown
the largest vote she ever put into the
ballot boxes. And the Boston Atlas.
Boston journal, and the Springfield
Republican have accomplished the
greatest feat ever won by the newspa-
per press in America. They publish
ed simultaneously, on themorning sue
ceeding the election, the votes of all
but three small towns in the State. -
And two Of these were arranged for,
and only failed by accident. Nantuck-
ct and Dukes, sea-girt as they are,
are herein the full glory Of their Wing
strength, which is more than we can
say of some other parts of the State.
A WHITE WOMAN RELEASED FROM
SLAvEEY.-The Circuit Court of Rock
inghsm county, Va, last week, after
trial that excited much interest, de-
cided that Amanda Jane, who had been
held as slave ever since her birth,
some twenty six years ago, was white
woman, although her origin was dis
tine ly traced to negress, who was a
slave. The Register says:
Amanda's appearance, the color
Of her skin, her hair, her eyes. her
nose, her physical exterior, would
prove her to be what the jury have
made her-a white woman. The tes-
timony proving her to be of negro ex-
traction was of the strongest and clear
est kind, and yet the appearance Of the
woman seemed to contradict it all
She had degraded herself in her servi-
tude, and has become the mother Of
two fine looking little illegitimate chill
dren, perfectly white, who were handled
in her arms during the course Of the
trial "A more mysterious case we
have never heard tried and it excited,
from its commencement to its close,
the most intense interest.
pERIoR.-The apprehension we cx-
pressed last week from the impossible
ity Of sending forward the large
amount Of supplies that have been ac-
cumulating here for several weeks past,
are likely to be sadly verified. The
three propellers that were up the lake
at that time have not yet returned
the Independence having been out Is
days, the Manhattan II days, and the
Napoleon 9 days.
1t is estimated that there are at
least $4,000 bbls. bulk Of provisions
and supplies Of various kinds now here
and this amount is likely to be increased
before the close Of the week to 10, 900
bbls. And as these supplies are dcs-
tined for the winter sustcnance Of fam
lilies, miners and traders at all the DIFF
ferent points on the lake. it is evident
that the whole country will suffer for
the want Of them. The three propel-
lers will onl " carry altogether about 6,
900 bbls., and if the weather continues
as boiSterous as it has been during the
fall, they will not be likely to make
more than another trip.
After what was said last week, on
the want of a canal, in this connec-
ton. no further application Of this sub
.iect is necessary. If there is any JUS
tice or humanity in our next National
Legislature, the people Of Lake Supe-
rior will not suffer for the want Of a
canal between these two lakes more
than two years longer.-[Lake Supe-
rior News.
The subjoined note, aristocratically
brief though it be; will fully explain
the wretched condition Of the Irish ten
antry. Until We saw 1t we would find
it hard to believe that any human be-
ing would be so reckless and profigatc
as to express such arrogance, or that
there were any people degraded and
low enough to hear it:
Tower OF GARRoN, OCT. IS.
understanding that there is to be
Tenant league meeting at Newsown-
ards, hereby make known to the ten
ant-farmers on my estate, that those
who think proper to attend, or to take
part in such meeting, shall never re-
ceive from me hereafter the tenant
right always hitherto enjoyed and
granted to them by my ancestors and
myself.
