mother of the fellow who fired the gun are both
implicated as accessories. The gentleman

SLAVE CASE IN GIN weeks
since we published a statement that couple
of slaves were manumtted by Mr.. Orvie
Thomas, Of Louisiana. Recent occurrences
induce us TO state again the following fact:
Mr.. Thomas was on his way to the East, an
when he arrived here he was told he would
lose his slaves. He then resolved that he
would anticipate their designs, if they had any
idea Of leaving him. and, on the morning he
left, he called them before him, and told them
they were free, and that he would have their
papers made out on his return. They were
taken by surprise. and did not seem TO express
any great degree Of j"y'upon the announce.
ment in which they were so much interested
being made TO them. On Tuesday morning Mr.
Thomas returned. and as he was about enter
ing the Burnett House, he was met by his boys
who requested the privilege to be taken back
again. They protested that they would pre-
fer returning with their master to Louisiana,
than to remain in Cincinnati and have their
freedom. We afterwards learned that the re
suit was jus, what Mr.. Thomas expected, for
he did notbelieve they could teke of them
selves He received them,a Wednesday
morning the party left on the Tishomngo for
Louisville,en route for home - Cincinnati Ga.
