one hand, while he reached out the other ana eX-
claimed passionately, "IIand him to me-! III fix
him 70 and she ventured to say, don't cut him
with the knife I" "Hold your tonguel' said the
master, "and set the boy on my knee, and hold
him still"
menced cutting small gashes through the skin on
the bottom Of the foot. Harry strove Ike n hero,
kicked and s%quirmed, struck his master in the face
aud pulled his hair, but he succeeded in cutting
both feet till the blood ran freely
Col V. then told his son to "lead Harry out
round the stable, and round the garden, and, by a
circuitous route, to a low, pine tree" to which he
pointed, about twenty rods distant. llatty was
ordered to cut up n plate of raw beef In small
pioces and bring it to him, "quick as possible"
The Col. took the ste Of meat in his hand, and
went to the kennel and unclaimed the mother of
seven blood hound puppies, and led her round on
the track Of Harry with the puppies following uf
ter.
AT every few steps he dropped a piece of the
msat on the blood which was left in Harry's track
for the puppies to eat, where they would receive n
permanent impression of the scent of the blood of
the slayel When he arrived at the tree, he sent
his son back with the mother of the puppies, while
they remained to eat the meat given to them under
the tree, Harry was taken down from the limb on
which he sat, and the little ,hounds were taught
TO bite his feet round which pieces Of meat were
thrown.
They did not bite the boy hard, as they were
young and their teeth tender. llttty, in the mean
time, was w%ringing her hands as If her heart were
bursting, and rs though she had forgotten that she
was a tavorite house servant, and had Il kind indul-
gut master.
Suicide is MACON!
4 terrible outc,y in the streets! "UAafs tie

Out over the railroad bridge" And all the
city rushed into the street and over the bridge
and. behold n negro in the creek
Two bounds were in the creek also, endcavoring
to catch the negro. lie would dive and swim a
long distance under water so deep that the dogs
could not see the direction he took but when he
raised his head above water to breathe, the dogs
swan towards him and seized his limbs and held on
till he icrked them away, leaving his flesh in their
teeth. Soon his pursuers wore seen coming from
the woods, and he perceived that farther attempts
TO elude them were vain and he came out of the
creek and gave himself up to the hunters. Two
OF them dismounted, and took him, one by either
arm, to lead him over the bridge into the city, in
the mIdst OF the vast, exu'ting multitude.
n friend OF ours, an intelligent New England
merchant, was present. lie expressed to us, his
establishment that no sympathy was manifested for
the suffering Slave, whose bare limbs were hor-
ribly laceratel by the dogs. And what most
sho:k his feelings, as the men were leading him
was to hear the boys telling the dogs to bite
him-saying, 'seek him take him =" just rs
tn Y would set dogs on to swine in the street, and
with as little pity for the man when he cried
out in anguish from the bite, as for the pig when
ho sQueals.
The negro re;gned to be so weak that he could
hardly walk but when about on the centre of the
bridge, he struck one of the men down who were
holding his ~arms-broke away from the grasp Of
the Other-rushed through the crowd-bounded
over the railing and sank in the red waters of the
O;hmulgee to rise no more 'till the judgement :"
No word Of pity no emotious Of sympathy were
witnessed for the sutferings and fate of the man
who had less fear Of death than Of "His brother
man." But imprecatlOns were heard, The air

against abolitionists, concluded the awful ira
gedy!
AwHITE MOTHER TOR SALE.
Mr.. II. c., q dry goods merchant of Boston, was
with US nj a little city, where he went to visit a
partner n trade. lie had not been in q slave
State before, and was bitterly opposed to cmanci-
patton.
Two hants-slavoholdors-we in our
company on the way to that city. Whenever sla-
very was talked of, Mr.. c. tool; sides with them.
The next morning after we arrived, Mr.. c.. looked
at Il bill in the bar room wherein l~orty-foUr female
slaves were Advertised for sale, Stepping out into
the street we saw those girls sitting on the side
walks. AT the farther end of the row, was n very
beautiful girl, apparently perfectly white, and neat
~ dressed. The moment Mr.. c.. looked at her, he
said to US, what do you think that white girl is
sitting there with those negroes for ~ We pre-
sumo She is a slave, sir. That can't be !" ex-

saw a prettier girl in my life.
Now Mr.. G.. had heard that "2kely qIadroonS"
are held as slaves and sold in the market but had
never believed that a young lddy,-so entirely
American, so elegant in form and feature, so in
telcctual in appearance with pure blue eyes, and
the perfect red and white Caucasian" complex
ion was in the same degraded condition as the
African girl. And his fine sensibilities we're
greatly shocked at the idea, that a white girl, SO
beautiful, was doomed to such disgrace. His

IA the school of ''colorphobia" in New England
But it was unshielded on the side towards the white
race, to which his mother, wife, and daughter
belonged. Hence he was unpreparcd to stand
the shock when we said to him, size IS a stare, sir!
There is the precise number advertised in the
bill. Still incredulous, Mr.. c., stepped up to the
drover and asked, sis that tcAHe girl a slave, sir!'
That's not q white girl, she is a niger, sir" re-
piled the droyer.
Mr.. c. bit his lips with suppressed Indignation
-paused-sighed-then cjaculated-''is it posi-
hle!' Dies she belong to youF' said he to the
droycr contemptuously. YES sjr!" replied the
drover as tartly. "What do you ask for her ?" in
quired Mr.. c. more calmly. 81 was offered 1900
dollars for her last night. | want 1000 for her"
what do you ask for that one?" said Mr.C. point
ing to a light ~quadroon sitting next to the white
girl. 81 will take $1,000 for her" Well how
much for the black ones, here at this end Of the
row." Il will take $500 apiece" replied the
droyer. "Why, can that white girl'-"that isn't

rupted the drover tempestuously at the same time
removing wooden cap from her head, which ex-
posed the light brown hair, he added, you see the
hair is waved" This is regarded as evidence that
African blood is mingled with the white. Mr.. c.
had now become deeply excited, and he exclaimed
violently, "well then, can that whie-nigga do
more work than one Of your Jiack niggers that
you ask so much more for her ?" 90, no!' re-
piled the droyer, more notwithstanding
that Mr.. c. did not comprehend the superior value
of female beauty to physical ability in a slave
'but you know she is Il high priced .flHcy girl"
"By Heavens" vociferatel Mr.. C.. "tis too bad!"
and, turning to US, with his clenched hands raised
towards the heavens, he added in a tome Of repen-
tanee for past hatred and neglect and future fdeli-
ty to the slave-I will never say another word
against the abolitionists so long us God lets me
