FREEDOM IN KENTUcKY.--We have already
alluded to the Newport (Ky.) Nesos, as having
raised the Fremont and Dayton flag. The exist.
ence of such paper there is an indication that
freedom is making rapid strides in Kentucky,
else such paper would not be tolerated, but
would be mobbed down, as was Cassius M Clay's
ten years since, and as the Netcs itself was
four years ago. The Neios is published by Mr.
w. s. Bailey, who is now in Boston, soliciting
subscribers and funds for its support, from those
who are in favor of making Kentucky a-free
State. 1t is seven years since Mr.. Bailey started
this paper. He is machinist by trade but
burning with desire to see slavery abolished in
the State, he established the Nescs, and adyocat-
ed the cause. His fearless course produced op.
position. Having machine shop with good
many hands in his employ, he put his press and
types in the upper story, and when the ruffians
came to attack his paper, the sturdy workers in
the metals protected his property. Finding no
other way to subdue him. about four years ago
they set FIRE to his shop, and burnt down the
whole. There was no insurance, and his loss.
about $4,000, made him poor man. It is hoped
that in old Massachusetts, he will get such aid as
the great cause Of Freedom demands of its sup.

AID FOR KANZAs.-The Convention recently
held at Buffalo appointed National Executive
Committee quorum of whose members re side in
Chicago, which is destined to be the Quitting
station for the emigration of this summer and au
tumn. Eli Thayer was appointed committee of
one to take charge of the systematic organization
of all the States friendly to Kanzas for her relief
The Boston Advertiser of Thursday morning
says -
q Mr.. Thsyer has already entered on his
work with the promptness which the occasion
demands. He has perfected a plan, which
may carry the cause of Kanzas to every hearth
stone in the free States. 1t proposes that there
shall be formed two classes of Kanzas COM
nit ees State committee for every State,
and county committee for every county,
Some of these committees already exist.
Each county committee should then ap-
point a town agent for every town IN the
county, with authority to appoint solicitor
(male or female) for every school district liz
the town. These district solicitors apply to
every man, woman and child, if possible in
their respective districts and make returns of
their collections with duplicate of the sub
plying to this agent, any subscriber can ascep-
tain whether his subscription has been duly
forwarded. The town agents make returns to
the treasurer of the county, who makes regu-
lar returns to the Treasurer of the State Com
mittee. who in turn RENTS to the National
! Committee.
In this way every cent contributed can be
traced from the hand of the donor TO the treas
ury of the general committee, without any
charge for expenses. And, by this plan, the
! general committee deals only with State com.
mittees, these with county committees these
with town agents, and these only with the
school districts, and they with individuals. If
this plan were faithfully carried out, we
should have three or four million of subscri-
bers as the result, with scarce any expense for
agen'ie les.
We publish these details in extenso, thus.
in the hope that they may be at once copied
through the county, and that the different ar.
rangements may be put at once in motion. We
hope to announce soon that regular series of
remittances to the Chicago National Commit.

The SLAVE TRADE In HAvANA.-The follow
ing, from the Havana correspondent of the New
York Tribune July 9Th, marks the activity Of the
slave trade going on in Cuba. The people who
fit out some of these slavers in our Northern
ports are probably good Buchanan men, hoping
by the election of their candidate to hasten the
time when the same lucrative commerce will have
an extensive market in the United Statos -
"Captain Powers, of the American schoon.

YORK to this port, reported having seen a
large ship crowded with negroes. She looked

Three days after having receiy ed this informa-

escape, the authorities commenced to search
the sugar plantations around Mariel. this side
of Cubanas. Of course they did not find any
slaves. This cargo had hardly been carried
OF, before two more were dlsembarked in the
very port Of Mariel. Tokeep up appearances,
ssme twenty or thirty of the cid and disabled
were captured and forwarded to this city,
where they are now deposited, subject to dis
rlbutlon as emancipados
These two cargoes consisted of nine hun

the awful plight they were in, when tell
you that the greater part of them were being

was induced by stringent orders forwarded by
the telegraph. So we have had an addition
of two thousand and odd victims, all within
the last few days. How many others have

population of at least thirty thousand in the

that they are largely bribed, otherwise they
would make an effort to observe the treaty."
A letter in the Journal of Commerce from

FIFTEEN Persons PoIsoNeD.-.A most la
inevitable and singular affair occurred in this
city this week. On Wednesday evening last,
party Of friends were invited to take tea
with the family of Mr.. James Steel, and all
his family enjoyed themselves and returned
to their homes in good faith. During the
night, every one of the party, including Mr..
Steers family, were taken violently i'll, and
sent for their family physicians. Since their
first attack, they have all undergone the most
intense suffering, and give positive evidence
of having been poisoned. As yet the nature
of the poison has not been ascertained. The
Youngest daughter Of Mr.. Steel died on
Thursday night. A post mortem examina-
ton Of the body was made yesterday evening,
but it was too late to ascertain the result be-
fore our paper went to press. A majority of
the sufferers are still in very critical condi.

SHOCKING AFFAIR = Several Deaths
One Of the most shocking affairs occurred the
latter part of last week, that has ever taken
place in this section of the State 1t seems
that James Ray, resident of Morgan coun-
ty, had had some previous difficulty with some
o. his neighbors, and that, failing to get re-
venge, he concluded to take it out by poison
ing the inotfensive little children OF those
with whom he had difficulty. and who were
attending school in that county.
He consequently obtained a quantity of
poison-put it in a squirrels head, and laid
it in spring used by the school. The result
was the poisoning Of nearly the whole of the
children Of the school-two or three OF whom
died, and seven or eight others, our informant
says. cannot survive. The schoolmaster who
was also poisoned, at last accounts, had some
parts of him mortified, and his death was be-
yond question.
Ray was arrested by the citizens of his
neghborhood, and made his escape in the
night, but was again apprehended near or in
Quincy, Hickory county, and carried back on
Sunday evening last. 1t was supposed that
he would be lynched.- WarsG,o (Mo.) Demo
