Az INCIDENT IN TIE History OF SLAVE
Rr. A few days since, a stranger apparent
ly Southern gentleman, arrived at Wash.
ington on his way North. Learning that
no train would leave in the direction he de-
sired to travel till the next day, he booked
himself at one of the principal hotels, where
he received such attentions as are always
due gentleman, and passed his time as
agreeably as one could be expected to dc
who was somewhat anxious to prosecute his
journey. The next day he went to the rail-
road station to take the cars for the North,
where he was arrested by the chief of police
on the ground that instead of being gen.
tlcman us his appearance indicated, he wa'
merely chattle parsonage, belonging to q
butcher of Richmond, by the name of Lyn'
ham. There was nothing in his complexion
or appearance any way that betrayed the
slightest faint of Ethiopian blood, and he
spoke both the English and German Ian
guagcs auently and correctly.

A Fugitive Slave from q Virginia
Church.

To run away from Slavery has been de-
clarcd to be to run away from God. The
:" Church Of Jesus Christ, at Union, Fauquier
County, Virginia, - has pronounced c1com-
munication against one Of its members for
running away from his master, and seeking
Freedom in the North. This negro who so
" disobeyed the laws of God and man." in
the lauguag, of that " Church of Jesus
Christ" was caught, and by the active en-
dcavors Of President Pierce and his agents,
and the agents OF Cotton and DOughfacery,
was restored to the Christian Society Of I'M
ion and the pious master who bewailed his
slaves baeksliding into Freedom and MasS,-
chusetts. After a season ofrcpcntancc nm
per the celebrations Of the rawhidc and the
Rev. John Clark, this fugitive church men,
Der was bought out Of Slavery with North
ern dollars aud presented to himself. TAX
ing the gilt, he straishtway went with it to
Obcrliu, Ohio, to educate it for the minis
try. Arrived there, he wrote back to Union
TO his old pastor for letter of dismiSsion
from the church he 50 wickedly ran away
from when. he ran away from slavery. The
pastor. the Rev. John Clark, made answer,
of which the following is the gist;
"The church Of Jesus Christ, at Union,
Fauquier County, Va:
TO ALL WHOM IT NAY CONCERN.
F" Wh1eas, Anthony Burns, a member Of
the church, has made application to US by
letter to our pastor, for letter Of dismis-
sion in fellowship, in order that he may
unite with another church Of the same faith
and order; and
" Whereas, it has been satisfactorily es-
tablished before us that the said Anthony
Burns abscOnded from the service of his
master, and refused to return voluntarily,
thereby disoJcyiRg bo,6 the iairs Of God and
man, although he subsequently obtained his
freedom by purchase, yet we have so,O to
consider him only as a .ti,yitire from iGbar,
(as he was before his arrest and restoration
to his mastery have therefore,
i" Reso'red, unanimously, that he be cx-
communicated from the communion and fel-
lowship of this church.
" Done by order Of this church, in rcsu-
Lar church meeting, the 10Th day of 0cto-
Der, 1855. W. W. WEsr, Clerk"
With this bill Of accommodation went a
letter from the pastor, which pitches into
poor Burns in a fashion which would b.
cilled diabolically vicious If it did not pro-
coed from a clergyman. He eonvicts him,
logically and from the Scriptures, of having
denied the Christhn character in seeking
Freedom while lis master wantcd him to ne
main endorsements him when liccns-
cd to preach, to select Cor his Geld of labor
the north hank OF the Ohio River, and TAX
ing the text about 0nesimus, to exhort
therefrom all fugitiyes frOm Virginia, to run
straight hack 70 their masters. by 50

urlbly make amends for the " expenditure
