WARNING TO SLAvEHoLDERs.-A gentleman
of this town, says the Charlottesville Advocate
had one of his servants to runaway last Mon
day, and having strong reason to suspect that
he had been carried off by some Of the Circus
Company which performed here on Friday and
Saturday of last week, he sent in pursuit of the
negro. At Orange Court House his messenger
overlook the Circus Company and found the
negro in the employment of one of the hands
belonging to the Company. Where such op.
portunites of escape are held out to slaves, the
community cannot bu too guarded in protecting
their property, BY keeping watchful eye upon
such men.

WHAT OUR. ENEMIES ARR DoINe.-Gerri,
Smith, the Abolitionist, hasju pledged himself
to give 81, 500 month for the next twelve
months, to aid in establishing Freedom in Kan
sas. He gave, but a short time since, at the
Kansas relief meeting in Albany, $1,000
Prior to that, lie had sent about 8 1000 to the
Boston Emigrant Committee. Out of his own
fnnds, he subsequently equipped Madison
County Company, of one hundred picked lnen
and paid their expenses to Kansas. At S!vra'
cuse he subscribed $4,000 for Abolition pur-
poses, $4,000. This is the tribute Of one
nau's mere hostility to the spread Of Southern
institutions.
we wish we could point to Southern man
who, recognising Kansas MS the battle ground
of the South-as the place where, of all others,
We are to determine whether We will hold our
position by power or hencelorth exist by the

name Southern man who had given as much
for the safety Of bis section as this fanatic for
the triumph of his Charleston. Mercury,
