SOUTHERN REVEALS.

The editor of the Western Christian Advocate
says: 1--WE have the following authority that adj
mits Of no questioning Recently in a town of a
certain slave State, revival took place in the
church Under the charge of Rev. Mr.. During
| the meeting, slave trader proteSSed conversion,
and joined the church, and a local preacher be-
came much encouraged thercat. Soon after the
close of the meeting, the slave trader made ptr.
chase from the local preacher of a slave woman
Hho had chilli at her breast. The trader not
wishing the child, and the mother refusing to go
without it, strong cords were obtained. dray
was sent for; she was tied hands and feet and
was carried by main force, and strapped down to
the dray, and was thus driven Off"
REMARKs.=-This is a bad q very bad religion.
Any religion that will sanction such outrage as
chatel slavery springs from the base passions and
lusts of men, rather than the 10 intain of love.
But then ! would like to know | ov much better
are northern religion and northern revivals Here
in the north the preachers get up spasmodic
vvals every winter. when the evenings long
and people have not much to do, and the converts,
or proselytes shout praises, and zealots in
warning sinners to fee from tie wrath to come.
Then these same preachers and converts, and the
church generally, go forth ND vote for bloody
warriors to rule the nation, and for men who sup
port slave holding government, and hunt fugi-
tives from slavery; they vote in support of gov
ernment that makes on Mexico, and Stays in
nOcent women and children, to recover paltry

people to pay the expenses of the war; they vote
for n government that robs the Indians Of their
homes, and drives them from the graves Of their
fathers, and commits every other abominaton.
Was it not for the north, which stands ready TO
hunt slaves and to kill those that arise to demand
their liberty, slavery could not exist in the southern
States not single month.
For my own part, see but very little difference
between southern rcyyGls and religion, and north
ern revivnls and religion. A religion which docs
not crrcify the llsts Of the flesh, and make men
just is no better at the north than at tho south
and very little that bears tho name of religion at
the present day, makes men any better than it

A NATIVE OF BOSTON IN DIRTY BUSI-
NESS,

The Savannah Nevs Of Nov. % contains the
following article:
ESCAPE OF A SLAVE FROM New ORLEANs-TIls
ARRIVAL IN SAvANNAH-On Tuesday evening last
the ship James Brown, Capt. VIM. IL. Wilson, arri-
we'd at Tybee and anchored inside the bar. She
was bound from New Orleans to Liverpool, having
left the former port on the 9Th inst. We learn
from Capt. Wilson, that when the ship was out
some four or five days he discovered slave on
board, who says his name is Richard Shepherd,
and thRt he is owned in New Orleans by Mr..
John Brown. As soon Capt Wilson discovered
the negro he determined to place him on the first
vessel bound south, and for this purpose stood of
and in the Gulf Stream for some five CT six days,
but not meeting vessel, he determined to put into
this port and arrived here stated above Capt
Wilson brought the slave up to tho city yesterday
in pilot boat, and gave him in charge of Constr
BILE ID. ii. Gallows, who committed him to jail to
await the order of his owner
Shepherd was at one time resident of this city
Last summer he away from New Orleans and
was caught in Mobile. lie was n stevedorc by
trade He was employed at New Orleans in load
ing the ship James Brown, and the day pre-.
vous to her departure secreted himself on board
Much credit is due to Capt Wilson. who is a native
OF Boston, for his exertions in returning this slave
to his owner. His ship, which is owned in Phila
depha by Stephen Baldwin and himself, had moi
only been detained some Ell ght or ten days from
pursuing her voyage, but subject to considerable
delay in entering and leaving our harbor. Sucl
conduct not only entities Capt. Wilson to the conf
dence and respect Of the Southern public, bu
shond. as we trust it will be requited with full in
demnity for the pecuniary sacrifice 10 which h
bas beeu subjected.

MEMS SPHERE.

We lrc glad to see (says Mrs Swisshelm, of the
Saturday TiSite,) that women are repaying the
immense debt of gratitude our sex owes to man
kind for the very great pains which nave been ia

male geographcr assumes that man Is the Lest
judge Of what is proper in women, and vice versa
sht improves upon the suggestions by marking
some uiit'incs of mans sphere. Is Is so very
common for each man, in defining womnns sphere,
to say what he should like his wife to do, and what
10 leave undone that she rctdlintes by saying what
she should like her husband to do, and what re
frain from doing. She knows a man who works in
worSted and as she would not like her husband to
be employed concludes that worsted work is out
of mans sphere. and excepts that all men will
avoid contact with Berlin wool in order to make
themselves worthy Of this distinction. 1t is no

1t is this that has so long been demanded of
woman. 1t is not enough that she please her own
husband, father or brothers, but every scrlbbler
and stump orator in the community demands that
tno entire sex conform their actions to his taste.
this lady writer complains, with tie same show OF
reason, that macy men engage in occupations
which she should disapprOye, and requires them
all to consult her wishes about what is proper
to be done.
