artificial Stone.-An Albany paper recently
published a call for a meeting to form a com
pany for the manufacture of artificial stone by
a process for which a patent is said to have been
claimed. It is said that q substance equal to
sand stone can be obtained by this process, and
that in it's green state it can be moulded to any
pattern desired. It is said also that this ma.
serial can be supplied for one quarter OF the
cost of freestone.

during the two grinding seasons was subject to

| WILLIAM GooDELL:
Deaf SIR; By the kindness of friend in Will
liamsburgh, the December issue of your paper has
reached me. 1t was the first number of the Anne.
rican Jubilee had seen, and in its perusal have
been instructed and edited. Inclosed send YOU
one years subscription, and you will please send
your paper to my address.
! ! observe article under the head of Slavery
Litigation" in which twas my humble privilege to
be an actor, and it may not be unineresting to
you to become acquainted with the facts Of that
case, and briefly recite them to you.
In the autumn of 1852, several persons of color
were about leaving this place on board steamboat
when they were iorcibly prevented from doing,
and driven back on shore Jy some Kentuckians A
crowd gathered around, and for time it seemed
that blood must be she'd This, however was
averted by proposition to the effect thar the me-
grces should go before tie Mayor of the city, and
there the claimants should prove their ownership
to theblackS The blacks and the crowd proceed,
ed to the Mayors Office, and after they were there
assembled, the irieuds Of the negroes came to my
aw-oihce and solicited my professional service in
their defence. This, let it be noted, was my first
knowledge Of or participation in the affair.
was not at the wharf, and only in my capacity
as lawyer participated in the proceedings.
On entering the Mayors Office, / found q crowd
assembled, and in one corner of the room the
blacks and their claimants. | waited some time
for steps to be taken by the claimants but as
nothing was said or attcm ptcd by them, and as
the mayor did not and could not act in the prem
ises, demanded by what authority the blacks
were detained No reply. then demanded to
know if they were in the cutsody of any officer of
the United States? No reply. then demanded to
be shown the papers evidence by which they
were detained; and there was reply to this
then spoke to the parties who had employed me :
"colored citizens, see no authority to dean your
friends" AT this remark, some one near the
door cried out, Hustle them out" and immed-
atey the crowd and negroes were out of the
building, and no doubt soon the blacks were over
Jordan"
For these remarks one of the clama nts, as the
negroes left the room, came up to me and said, II
own those slaves. They are my property. Here
are the papers, and sh all hold you individually
responsible for their escape" These were the first
and only words they addressed to me. and these
not until the negroes were ont Of the building.
And the above constitute tho grounds of the pros
ecution against me, embracing the entire facts of
the case, as proved concusivey by thirteen as good
witnesses as this city affords, and opposed only by
,he testimony Of two negro cdtchers for tho mon in

THE black man living in or born on the free soil
of the free State Of New York cannot understand
why he should not be permitted to approach the
ballot-box on the same footing with Patrick, or
Hans or Monsieur, who have only been five years

pay as good as $3.50 for tho privilege, while all
sorts of foreign relations go scot free. Now. the

SIGHTS HASTILY SEEN.

From a letter written to the Dayton Ga-eiie by
DaytOnian-Rev. Granville Moudy-at the South
we make the following painfully interesting ex
tract
"At Memphis we got fairly into the cotton re
gion. Here slaves and mules, so universally asso
! ciated in the South, were found in abundance an(
variety On the bank above the landing we saw 4
large, strong, gloomy looking, three story bricS
house; we read in imposing characters that it was
dedicated to the business of Bolton & Co., Slave
Dealers" improved an hours delay here to Wis
it this mart of humanity.
"Mr. Bolton, the very Gentemanly proprietor,
received me kindly and gave me many items OF in
formation relative to his business. / told him
did not want to purchase, but wond look at his
slaves if he pleased, lie showed me his stock on

their prices. One young man about nineteon years
old, of fine form, for whom the trader asked $3.50
spoke up and said Mister, Use de boy you ought
to buy if you wants de work done" asked him
where he had been raised. He replied "In old
Nirginny, sir and can do all kinds of work on de
farm, sir Ise de stock you ought to buy, sir, if
you want to get your money back" Poor fellow
he had learned his lesson well,
"After showing me several women ranging in
prices from $3.50 to $50, the dealer told some Of the
slaves to 60 and call Martha immediately

man, nearly white, appeared in tidy and becoming
apparel. lie stated in the style Of man Of bust
ness, the many excellent qualitiesagc, etc, and re-
marked, Il ask $3.50 for her." There she stood
for sale-in form almost as faultless as the Greek
Slave of Powers, animated by soul within whose
worth angels cannot compute
"Mr. Bolton said that most of his stock was
hired out, and that his assortment was ncomplete
having only abou. tweuty then on hand-ont
that he expected gang evory day from Virginia
