EXTRAORDINARY CAsE-REMARKABLE DEvo-
TIoS OF A MISTRESS TO her SLAvE.-We have
recently learned the particulars of very strange
history-one OF the strangest which the working Of
the peculiar institution has yet brought to light.
We have heard Of masters belonging to their slaves
but we never heard of STAKEHOLDER running away
with his slave in order to give him his liberty. The
following are the particnlars:-Nancy, . few years
since bright-eyed mulatto woman, the slave of
gentleman residing in Arson county, North Carolina,
fled to the free States, which, after unusual hard
ships and the exercise of more heroism than Is usu-
ally attributed to her race she succeeded in reaching
She left behind husband, who was also slave be-
longing to Mrs.. f., Of the same county. To this
husband Nancy was strongly attached and though
she was well situated in this State could give herself
no peace until she had resolved to return and attempt
his rescue. The long and weary journey TO her old
home was made on foot, and by night. Arrived near
the residence OF her husbands mistress, she lay con-
cealed for more than week In the mountains before
she could safely procure an interview. But her hus
to- fee and it was several weeks before this black
Macbeth's courage could be screwed to the stick
ing"-or rather to the running" point" At last
he fed, and had nearly reached the Cumberland
gap, when he was overtaken and captured. His
mistress, by the way, was willing he should escape,
but she was in fear Of her heirs who indeed, were
the parties who chased and captured the slave
Nancy escaped and returned here. The aged mis-
tress Of the fugitive was so affected by the devotion
OF Nancy and the desire of the husband to be re-
united that she conceived the strange idea Of herself
running on with her own slave for the purpose Of
bringing him to free State. The preparations were
made with the greatest secresy and carried out with
so much skill and prudence, that she succeeded and
lately passed through this city, her way to the
residence Of Nancy, who is now living with her hus-
band. The old lady left what property she had be-
side this slave, in North Carolina and has made no
attempt to regain it; She is permanently settled
in this State and is supported by the charity of her
neighbors Our informant, whom we met yesterday
on his way from the South to the residence of Mr.
X thinks that there will still he an effort In regain
possession Of the slaves Cincinnati Gasette
