CLAREsBUKG, WEDNESDAY, JULY ~
FOURTH OF JULY.

To-day is the ever-memOrable FOURTH
OF JULY-the anniversary Of the birth of
our glorious coniederacy. This day seven
ty-nine years ago, "these colonies" were
declared " free and independent, and
the & lad tocsin OF liberty sounded at Phla-
deIPhia, reverberated throughout &" the
old thirteen" making glad the hearts Of
men resolved TO be free and carrying dis
may to the myrmidons Of British power
The Influence of that days transactions
upon the subsequent condition Of man
kind throughout the world has been al
most incalculable, and yet not 1.-THE of
its power has manifested itself.
We arc too apt to pass over unnoticed
this national holiday, unmindful of the glo-
rious "reminiscences that surround it, and
the beneficial results arising from it. In
the early days. OF this republic this was not
the case. by the men of those days the
events of that great occasion were wildly
rccollccted, and they but seldom forgot
its celebration, by " the ringing OF bells,
firing OF cannon" &c, as was SO particu-
larry recommended by John Adams.
Has the present generation degenera-
ted under the balmy influences of the go
vernment erected for us by our fathers
or has our familiarity with the many pri-
vileges we enjoy blunted our appreciation
Of those benefits that we are so inLiucr-
ent upon the recurrence of our national
birth~day.

Burning Negro at the Stake in Ala

Burning Negro at the Stake in Ala
bama.
We have already recorded the murder
of Miss Thornton, a respectable young
lady, near Castor. Alabama, by a negro
man. The horrible affair created the
greatest excitement, and consequently the
murderer was forcibly taken from the Gus
tody of the civil authorities by a mob, and
put to a terrible death, an account OF
which is thus given in the Marion Repub-
lican Of the 28th ult:
On Friday last, after due preparation,
they carried him to the spot where he so
cruelty murdered his innocent victim, and
burnt him alive at the stake. About
three thousand persons we're present, who,
witnessed, with various emotions, the
dreadful spectacle. We were present,
but hope that We will never again witness
a scene like it. The pile was composed
of several cords of light wood. in the csn-
tire of which was a green willow. stake,
selected in consequence of its indestructi-
bility by FIRE.
On the top Of the pile of light wood the
criminal was placed, and securely chain
ed to the stake. While in this situation he
confessed his guilt. stating that he had no
accomplice-that he was actuated by lust
alone-that he had attempted to violate
her person, but Ii ad failed, and to conceal
the attempt, he had cruelty murdered her
by beating the poor innocent creature
with stump; that while he was doing
this, she impIored him to carry her home
to her father, and that she would conceal
the violence he had inflicted. He then
left, but soon returned, and after again
beating her, he concealed the body in the
very hole where the stake was planted at
which he suffered
After this confession was made, the
match was applied, and in a few moments
the devouring flames were enveloping the
doomed negro his fearful cries resound
ed through the air, while the surrounding
negroes, who witnessed his dreadful ago
ny and horrible contortions, sent up an in
voluntary howl Of horror His sutferings,
though excrutiating, were short in few
minutes the flames had enveloped him
entirely, revealing now and then, as they
6tfully swayed hithcr and :hither, his
black and burning carcass, like demon
Of the fire, grinning as in hellish triumph
at his tormentors. Soon all was over
nothing was left but the flesh and chared
skeleton Of this human devil, who could
thus deliberately perpetrate SO foul a
crime.

a SLAVE BORN OF WHITE WOMAN
FREED BY VIRGINIA CoURT.-The Rich
mond Enquirer gives the following ac-
count of very interesting case which
has been decided in the Botetourt Circuit
Court
Eliza Crawford and five children,
eolored, suing for their freedom, the
case was decided in favor of the plaintiffs;
the evidence being full and complete that
the chief plaintiff, Eliza, was born Of a
white woman, of Georgia. She is now
about thirty-fvc years of age, and has
been in slavery between fifteen and twen>
ty years. Her appearance indicates that
her father was mixture of African and
Indian. She is now the mother of six
children, all of whom were plaintiffs, ex-
ccPt the oldest, who never belonged to
defendant, and who, it is said, will now
be set at liberty, without resistance.
There was no evidence, however, to
show that the defendant was in any way,
prlvy to, or accountable for the injustice
done the plaintiffs

PRo> SLAVERY CONVENTION IN Missouri.
The shareholders in Western Missouri
are taking measures to get up State
Convention for the purpose Of expressing
their sentiments in regard to their inter
ests at this time The St. Louis Intelli~
gencer favors the project. But it desires
that the convention should be composed
exclusively Of shareholders. 1t say Us it
will in that case 8" be conservative" and
it then adds:
" After Ii(e>time residence in the
South, we can say this with truth, that
we never yet knew mob composed Of
shareholders. Public oulrages have been
committed in the SouLh-mobs have been
raised-press destroyed-pcrsons out
ragged, but we have never known an in.
stance in which shareholders themselves
have been the members Of the mob. The
actors have always been lcwd fellows
of the baser sorI''-panderers to position
and wealth that they could never aspire
ro-who thought by thus acting they
might gain favor from Shareholders, men
OF wealth whom they were willing to
serve rs masters. But We have never
known shareholders who do not spurn
and despisc the trucking rowdies and
law breakers thus acting in their name.
