ELoPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. "A few days
ago a wealthy planter residing some four hundred
miles up the coast, come to this city on visit OF
pleasure, bringing with him his family, among
them a singularly beautiful and accomplished,
though inexperienced daughter. So remarkable
was she for herpersonal attractions that she could
not fail to allure the gaze of crowds in the streets,
aud at the opera she was the target for hundred
eyeglasses. She was another Latonia, for whom
the most insensate modern Jupiter would willing

Singular to relate, young man from one of the
Southern States, high BON, intelligent, of facn-
ating exterior, and reputed rich arrived here
about the same time. Having been extensively
engaged in mercantile transactions, he ascertained
Immediately on his arrival that commercial re-
verses had overtaken foreign house which he had
trusted largely, and that by its bankruptcy he was
left penniess. He became desperate, and deter
mined by bold stroke to retrieve his lost for
tunes or to put end to his difficulties by the
unpleasant alternative of ''pistol for one" or sui
eide. Brooding these, his resolutions, he
visited the opera, where, guided by his lucky star
his entranced vision fell upon the young lady in
question. To see her. to ascertain the fact of her
great wealth and to resolve to win her required

Through the nstrumentality of plant serving
maid, he obtained an interview, when, by the
magic of a practiced tongue, ready with protesta-
tons Ofundying love, he obtained the fair ones
affections, and the promise of her hand.
How he avoided the unpleasant possibility of a
refusal on the part of the lady's parents to ratify
the match how he persuaded the fair damoiSelie
that there such sweet romance in a clandes-

SUICIDE BY DROWNING, AND SLAVE
TRADING. negro woman belonging to Demp-
sey Weaver, Esq, jumped into the river, night
before last, with child ia each arm, and all
three were drowned. Owing to her misconduct,
her master threatened to sell her, and she deter
mined not to be sold 1t is said that her husband
had promised to end his existence in the same
way, at the same time, but did not do so.-.Nash-

From one end of the country to the other-aye,
and through Europe, also-TOrysm has denounc-
ed Uncle TOMS Cabin, aud affirmed that Mrs
Stowe has lbeIled our nation, and misrepresented
and exaggerated the horrors of American slavery.
Yet, hardly week passes, that does not briug
to our knowledge, through the slave press itself,
cases similar TO the above, where, if the incl
dents were portrayed In their vivid reality they
would present picture as agonizing and soul
narrowing, as any that given in Uncle Toms
Cabin Yet, they are read like any other para
graph, and thrown aside without another thought.
Take the very case before us-it Is one of
thousand that come TO US well authenticated
and here is young woman, a wife, and moth
er, threatened by him who assumed to be her
master and owner, and who is recognized as such
by the laws of the State, to be torn forever from
her husband, and her children, and all she
loves, without her consent or theirs, but in open
disregard of their wishes to be sold, to whom
she knows not, to what place she knows not, for
what purpose she knows not. Death, to her, is
preferable to such contingency, and she embra-
ces 1t. In her desperation, she determines that
her children shall not grow up to be exposed to
the horrors of her condition, and she destroys
them also. five could go behind the scenes,
and see, in their sad reality, the incidents by
which, step by step, she has been brought TO this
horrible conclusion, there is nothing probably, in
Uncle TOMS Cubin, which would be more re-
voting to all human feelings, or that would ex-
coed this case in tragic interest.

For the Spy.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-When look upon the
monstro1s wrong which the institution of slavery
ny is nflctng, not only upon three millions Of
human beings, who are the immediate sufferers
but also upon nearly twenty millions more, who
ought to have spirit and energy enough to assert
and maintain their right to sfreedom, am over
Whelmed with wonder and Arrangement. Whence
comes this gigantic evil? Does il arise from the
superior Intelligence ofthe Stare Potcer, or from
the recreant and evaslve spirit ofthose who claim
TO be free? If we refer to the statistics of our
country, we cannot with truth admit that the
slave holders possess all the intelligence that is to
be found in the United States, for these statistics
show that there is great amount of dark and be-
nlghted ignorance in the slave States besides that
which Is confined to the slave population, while
In INC Tree States, there are very few who are not
well Informed in relation to the concerns of life
We must, therefore, look FIR other causes which
operate to infct this infamous Injustice upon our
country. If we examine the records of history.
we shall find that slavery, SO far from being the
product Of intelligence. is actually the offspring of
ignorance. But the result is the same, whether
II be the offspring of one or the other, excepting
that during the dark ages, when slaves were more
numerous Than ireemen, male and female slaves
were allowed, and even encouraged to cohabit to-
gether, whereas, with regard to American slave
fy, Inc owners tearing the slaves will not propa-
gate their species with sufficient rapdity, under
take the work themselves, and barter away their
own offspring. With this exception, slavery,
from the seventh to the eleventh century, was the
same as slavery ofthe nineteenth century, Their
masters had absolute power over their PERSONS
They had the power of Furnishing their slaves
capltally, without the Intervention ofany Judge,
and even after this jurisdiction of masters over
their slaves came to be restrained, the life oCa
slave was deemed TO be Of so little value, thai a
very slight compensation atoned for taking it
away. In modern times the life of a male slave
is valued according to the amount of cotton he
can produce, and that of a female slave according
TO her personal charms, or the number of children
she is capable of producing to enrich the Golfers
ofhls master. There are other points of argu-
ment which may be noticed hereafter.
