Slave Burned TO Death.

A mob was collected together and
Lynch Court was held to determine wha;
was best To be done with negro who had
the impudence to raise his hand against a
white man. The Lynch Court decided
that he should be burned at the stake A
Natchez paper, The Free Trader, giving
an account Of it, says the negro was taken
and chained to a tree, immediately on the
banks Of the Mississippi, on what IS called
Union Point. FaggolS were then col
ecled ard piled round him, to which he
appeared quite Indifferent. When the
work Was completed, he was asked what
he had to say. He then warned all TO
take example of him, and asked the pray
ers of all around. He then called for a
drink of water, which was handed him;
he drank it and said : "Now set fire |
am ready to go in peace" The torches
were lighted and placed in the pile, which
was soon ignited. He watched nnmoved
the curling flame, that grew until it began
10 entWine itself around and fix upon his
body, and then he sent forth cries of ago
ny painful TO the ear, begging some one to
blow his brains out, at the same time
struggling with almost suPerhuman
strength, until the staple with which the
chain was fastened to the tree mot being
well securely drew out and he leaPed
from the burning pile. At that moment
the sharp ringing of several rifles were
heard, and the body Of the negro fell a
corpse on the ground. He was picked up
by some two or three, and again thrown
into the fire and consumed, not vestige
remaining to show that such a being ever
existed. Nearly four thousand slaves
were collected from the plantations in the
neighborhood to witness this scene. Nu-
merous speeches were made by the mag
istratcs and ministers of religion, to the
large concour>e of slaves, warning them.
and telling them that the same fate await
ed them if they should prove rcbellious to
their owners.

Thou art gone, oh, gentle sister!
Spoken in our last farewell,
Death the tie of love hath riven,
And dissolved the magic spell.
1t was hard to gaze upon thee
III the vestments Of the grave;
But our prayers were all unheeded,
We were powerless to save.
We have robed thee in the garments
Meet to fold Deaths icy BRIDE
In the old church-yard We lald thee,
BY our loug-Iost mothers side.
Der thy grave the moon is shedding
Even now her holy light,
And the stars like gems are shining
On the sabre robe Of Night.
Since thou left us, darling sister,
have wished 10 share with thee,
Fen thy long and dreamIess sIumber,
With its fearful mystery;
lhaye wished to hide my sorrows,
In the shadows dark and keep,
That have fallen all around thee,
In that dread, eternal slcep.s
Tho on earth may not meet thee,
Tho thou art forever gone,
STILL thy love shall guide and cheer me,
Ever bidding me hope on;
And the joyous hope of meeting,
1t will ever be to me
A guiding star o'er LIES worn way,
To Heaven and to thee.
