Washington telegraph., 1856-11-26

AN INCIDENT-An incident occurred
on Saturday, at the Arcade, adjoining our
Office, which furnishes an admirable COM
mentary upon the atroeious charges of the
Abelitionists of total want of feelings of
humanity on the part of the Southern peo-
pie. Passing through the Arcade saloon,
We noticed at one of the auction stands a
| negro girl up for sale, and around a closely
packed crowd that appeared to be deeply
interested In what was going On. Curios-
ity led us to pause and inquire what was
the cause Of the apparent excitement
The bids were going on in a very spirited
manner, and generally at an advance OF
only FIVE dollars at a bid, and at every bid
the eyes of the crowd would quickly turn
in the direction whence the bids proceeded,
the interest and excitement being In the
meanwhile upon the increase The girl, a
bright, intelligent mulatress, about four
teen years old, was evidently not i, differ
ent to what was Transporting There was
no moisture in her eyes, but they assumed
an expression which indicated that she felt
some anxiety In regard to the result of the
sale, which is not generally the case. As
the bids reached near a thousand dollars,
the excitement became intense, and as that
figure was called, spontaneous hiss was
heard from one end of the room to the
other, followed BY vehement shout of
'.Turn him cut !" .'Turn him outr' \
rush was made for the door, the hammer
had fallen, and the girl also into the arms
of-her mother, who had become her pur-
chaserl' The explanation of it al was that
the woman had been freed by her owner,
and had earned money enough to buy her
child. the mulatress in question, and being
a very valuable servant several persons
were anxious to obtain her, but all of them
with one exception, had pledged the mo-
ther that they would not bid against her,
and they honorably kept their faith 1t
was the conduct of this one, who was bid
ding against the mother, which so excited
and exasperated the crowd on the occasion.
The man made good his escape, fortunate
ly too for him We think, as we heard sun
dry expressions about ''lynching,' &C., as
the crowd came back to talk over the mat
ter The mother was so much affected by
the Joy of having succeeded In retaining
possession of her child, that she swooned
away and was carried out of the saloon.
Wemay add that the sale was success
sion sale, and was not designed to be any
thing more than nominal, and nobody in
tended that the mother should be deprived
of her child.
This incident showing as it does the re-
al feelings that predominant in the South
when the chord of humanity is touched, Is
worth more than all the mock philanthro-
py which spends itself in crude theories
and cheap denunciation, which have delu-
ged the country and arrayed its different
sections in bitter hostility against each
other in modern times
