Severe Weather a t the South.

The Lake Charles (Calcasieu Parish. Lou
isiana) Press, of the 18th inst, speaking of
the cold weather, says
The thermometer for several days ranged
as low as twenty-iour degrees above zero. and
ice was formed about two inches thl -
The Orange trees hereabouts are nearly all
killed, and the few crops of cane standing
are completely blasted. The trees are ben
ding, reeling and breaking under the weight
of sleet-the most disastrous ever witnessed
here. The mortality among cattle will be
unprecedented.
The Homer claiborne Parish) Advocate.
of the 9Th inst. says
We have had the longest and most intense
ly cold spell of weather ever experienced bv
the oldest inhabitant of this climate, lasting
as it has for nearly three weeks. The earth
has been frozen as solid as rock all the
time, and ice has been constantly forming
with the exception of few hours of the day
They have had another slave excitement at
Cincinnati. A party of II slaves, who es-
capped from Boon and Kenton counties, KY,
arrived there on Sunday night. On Monday
means to secure their property. They were
found at house on MilIcreek, and fought
desperately when the attempt was made to
arrest them. One of them, a mother, rather
than have her babe go back to slavery, cut
its throat and an attempt was made to kill
two Older children in the company. Slavery
can't be the divine institution it is represen-
ted to be by its advocates. or its victims
wouldn't risk life and limb, as they do, to
escape from it.

GIVE Me LIBERTY OR GIVE NE DEATH-Is
there heart. outside of the bogus democratic
party. that does not thob responsive to this
sentiment Of one of the anti-slavrry fathers
Of the state of Virginia ?-Patrick Henry.
The poor negro slave woman's butchery of
her children was but the impersonation of
the noble sentiment of Henry. She has new
er probably heard Of Virgnius or his daugh-
ter Virginia. The innate love Of liberty
which God has implanted in every human
heart prompted the bloody deed She was
born slave, had suffered its terrible priva-
tions, and when she could not save her chill
dren from;ike sufferings, preferred death with
them to hopeless slavery. If the act of Vir-
ginius is commendabe if the sentiment of
Henry is true, the deed of the slave mother,
though bloody, cannot be far wrong.-I Mad
ison Courier.
