SLAVES IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

We have received copy Of The Carolina Spar
tan, containing the suhioined paragraph accom-
panied with these words written on the margin
Notice this fellow; he was worthy of it, and he
will do to offset against that niger you said was
burnt in Mississippi Charleston March &c"
"The death Of Judge ONcals body servant,
who has been his masters constant travelling COM
panion for many years, is thus spoken Of by the
Judge in The Southern Patriot. If this notice
should happen to strike the eve of any of ourAb
tion friends, we hope they will give the State some
credit, for it is generally known that Daniel was
man Of undoubted pety.
"lIe was born the property Of Samuel Kelly,
nay maternal grandfather, about l794. BY his
will he PASSED to my grandmother, Hannah Kelly.
BY her will became my property in 1920. From
that time to his death he has been my travelling
companion, servant and friend. lie was the coach
man OF my family and whether was present ol
not, always knew they were safe, if he held tbs
reins.
"Neron in tho long period OF thirty-!our years
did he fail in duty or was false TO me, in any
particular. His horses were always tho flttost
horses drove anywhere. / scarcely ever had to
call him, when he was with me on the circuit
His general health had been bad for years. His
last illness was about TWENTY-FIVE days To mo
he was invaluable. But / do not complain, God
has taken him, and he is, trust, In an everlasting
rest.
Il give this statement as due to him, and also 70
show our Abolition people at the North and West
VINO ana What are our slaves.
The illegal scribling on the margin Of news
paper is in harmonious temper with the title Of the
paper-The SpartaH-each Spartan having in
ancient times considered theft virtue unless dis
covered and living like thieves on the forced labor
Of slaves. We never said n negro was burned in
Mississippi; paragraph did, and the fact turned
out that the date and the cause simply were wrong
not the fact. All We have TO respond to Judge
O'Neal is, that if the "nigger" in question did
drive fat horses, that is reason for having kept
him in slavery. This pious resignation Of the
Judge is beyond all praise. We hope when the fat
horses die we may have paragraph on the subject
postpaid.
The Spartan, as above advertises zone negro
man Bob, sold us tue property Of VIM. Fowler
ut the suit Of the State for taxes" This is truly
n Spartan proceeding-a hnlfmillion of chvalry
selling poor negro for taxes Blessed are the
poor, especially in South Caroina.--TIiLune.

been released from the Jail Of Norfolk, Va, where
she has been imprisoned one month for tho crime
OF teaching free colored children their Sunday
school lessons, which she did at the request Of
many of the most respectable members of Christ's
Church in Norfolk. Will the Chinese heather
serve the above Reverend Doctors of Divinity in
the same wayI Probably not.--lbed
