HIGH PRIcE,-A likely negro lad, thirteen
wears Of age, was sold at Sussex Court House
last week, for the sum Of 1861.
Richmond Wing, March II.
Is that high? We have our eyes upon
likely lad of thirteen, who could not be bought
for one hundred times that sum, though ne
has the disadvantages of being neither clever
at work nor endowed with q good, permanent
sable complexion. The Virginia market may
be considered high, but We cannot think an
, intellectual and moral being, created BY the
will Of God, and possessed Of an eternal spirit
should be held dear at nine hundred and sixty
one dollars.
RELIGIOUS FREEDoM.--A letter from X.'
to the Baltimore Sun, this morning, says:
aGen. Cass, who some time ago introduced
resolutions into the Senate for tho purpose OF
securing to our citizens in foreign lands free,
dom Of religious worship and the right of
burial has prepared reply to Bishop Hughes's
Pastoral Letter, written some time ago against
the resolution, and will ask the indulgence OF
the Senate to hear it delivered. The question
appertains to civilization, and comes very
properly before the forum of Congress-"
10 A clerk at New Orleans, few days
ago, obtained $l1 1000 from the Canal Bank,
on forged check, and departed for Hayana
with . young woman and her child, and his,
too, probably.
The New Orleans Crescent opposes the Ne
braska bill because it will do the South no
good, and is designed to inure only to the ad-
vantage Of President Pierce or Senator Doug
las, and concludes thus:
clark ye, gentlemen of the South! When
yon were stronger, you got the old Compro-
mise. now, when you are weaker, you had
better stick to it. Nay, stick to all the Com
promises; for, be assured that the next agita-
tion-that is to say, this, if you are drawn into
twill, in all human probability, be the last.
There will never be another Compromise; rely
on that easy prophecy.
Conscience makes towards Of US ALL and the
Abolitionists shrink under the lash because
they have no high sense Of Justice or reason to
sustain them in the struggle. For the most
part, they are men without honor or character,
who betake themselves to abolition agitation
purely on speculation, and to serve selfish ends

heart; and being utterly devoid Of earnestness
of character or honesty Of aim, the poltroonery
of the Abolitionists should occasion no surprise.
Feeble women and boys of tender years have
been known to walk exultingly to the stake, in
transport of enthusiasm, or under the impulse
of some high purpose The Abolitionists have
as little Of the devotion as of the courage of the
martyr In their conduct they betray the
hesitating and skulkiDg timidity Of conscious
imposture and charlatanry.-R Richmond En-
quirer.
II has Of late been doubted whether the
Senate Chamber or the least decorous portion
of the political press had excelled in the use Of
high words and low scurrility. But We think
the Enquirer, and others Of its ilk, will con-
tinue to bear the palm. In the mean time,
however, the Nebraska scheme is tending moro
and more towards its downfall, as will soon be
sadly realized by the braggadocios of the land.
