FUGITIVE SLAVES.

Two fugitive slaves, one from Louisiana, tie.
other from Maryland, arrived in Providence last
week the Underground Railroad, and one of them
has been forwarded to Canada via Worcester
The Louisiana fugitive made attempt TO escape
two years ago, and reached Cincinnati, where he
was captured by his pursuers and taken back, and
afterwards cruelty treated. He DETERMINED how
ever, that he would escape from slavery, and the
incidents of his escapes are thus narrated in the
Providence Transcript:
"He seized the first favorable opportunity and
fed determined to die before he shoald again be
taken back. Bloodhounds were put apon bis track
but did nat overtake him. He adopted novel ex-
pedient to balk them and keep them back. He left
Cayenne pepper in his tracks, which. after being,
snuifed by the hounds. rendered their progress
slow. He reached the Mississippi,c committed hina-
self to q leaky boat, lying close to the bottom OF
the boat, to keep of sight of his pH-suers. lie
said when he entered the boat he resolved that be
would find grave in the waters of the river before
he was captured. He got beyond the reach of his
pursuers, and finally secreted himself on board
saip bound to the North. In a short time he waa-
found fearful that he should be returned he beg
ged, if that to be his fate to be thrown over,
board, preterring death to the horrors from which
he had fed. The captain told him to calm his
fears he should not be sent back And, said the
captain, Il wish had load just like you.' Tbs
captain brought him safely to New York, directed
MIN to take the Fall River route, and named the
boat He directed him to come to Providence,
where he would find friends to aid him in his
fight"

PERSONS CARRIED AWAY BY ALLIcAToRs.
! In July last at place in the Small Searches.
! called DO Burrah, a woman and her infant child
were seized by an alligator and devoured. In the
afternoon Of the DAY on which the event happen
ed, the woman TODD her husband that. she wished
to bathe. lie advised her to battle in the yard
near the house. There not being sufficient water
in the house, she sent two of the girls down the
river side to fetch some and herself followed them
having her infant tied on her back. The poor
woman having assisted one Of the girls to place
the bowl or kettle of water on her head, proceeded
to do the same for the other, and while she was
doing an alligator suddenly seized her by the
leg and dragged her with the child still fastened
to her back, into the water The unfortunate
woman uttered one loud shrek and sank to rice no
more. About two days after the head and part
of the mangled body were found among the mud
and were taxed up and buried.
Another instance occurred in August at place.
called ReChan Kom, little below Medina
in the Rokelle river. boy about twelve years
OF age was quietly engaged in fishing in the river
when an alligator seized him and carried him of.
a canoe with three men happened to be near at
the time and saw this, but they never mentioned
word about it to the people of the place, lest
they should be charged with having through tho
power of witchcraft, transformed themselves into
an alligator an0 carried off the boy. The month
before that n man had been seized by of these
creatures very near the spot. The native
people believe that no alligators. leopards,
other such creatures, can iniure men unless witch
craft lie employed When any one is thus seized
they believe it is some man who has transformed
himself into alligator leopard for the purpose
of injuring his fellow.men Under this imrres.
sion men are sometimes seized and sold into
slavery.

REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE.

REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE.
The present week has afforded us sad evidence
of the existence of the slave trade and its attend
ant horrors /; and we are glad to add of the Wig
lance and success of our cruisers. Two slaves
we're brought into port on Tuesday last, OF
them au American schooner j. NJ Record, without
papers or col0rs captured by III. NJ. steamer
Antelope off Agwhey, with 1913 slaves, of whom
six died on the passage up. They are all in ex-
cellent health aud condition, and are of the IA
handy, N Nufi, and Hausar tribes. Among them are
ia men, SO women; 81 boys. and ii girls total
1877 who have been landed at kissy pending
adjudication. This vessel is the second prize OF
the Antelope. The other prize, the American
brigaAtine Onward, is well known here, having
not very long ago sailed away from our harbor
as a regular trader. She was captured by the
Alecto off the Congo. In the meantime the Sap.
pho had chased very large SLAYER on the South
Coast said to have contained 1900 slaves The
inhuman brute who commanded the SLAYER inn
mediately ran the ship ashore, when only 304 of
the unhappy savee were saved by the boats OF
the Sappho. Many Of the poor creatures jumped
overbou:d, and the shore was lined with dead
bodies.
The Castor frigate with the Admiral was at
Luyando at the time, and he ordered the slaves
saved to be transferred 10 the Onward on board
of which prize there was no slaves. The Onward
was put in charge of mdshipman from the
Caster and sailed for this port OF the 3O4 slaves
that were transferred to the Onward, 81 died on
the passage they suffered from want of water,
aud actually had to drink salt water which pro
duced dysoatry and death. The crew OF the
SLAYER had put reck-sat in the water casks, and
thus 304 persons were adrift upon the wide ocean
with but skanty supply of good water. such a
scene of emaciation and disaster has not Ter long
time been witnessed amongst us. They were tor

fate Of Kansas; and Northern Democrats who
vote for him, on their return to the people will at
tribute the do Snia Of their party to the action Of
their committee, to the action of the Speaker, to
the action Of the President. They will never ad-
nit that the election Of Speaker sealed the fate Of
Kansas that they knew such would be the result.
when they voted for him.
| To the editors of the Ohio Statesman, the Chica-

! if you intend to save Kansas, point your readers
to the action of their several Representatives on
the election Of Speaker. Let the Representatives
understand that tho people watching that
vote, and will hold them responsible for it that
as they vote for speaker, they declare their real
wishes in regard to liberty in Kansas and the
Union. If they have the manly Independence to
nominate n candidate pledged to free Kansas, and
stand by him, the South must yield assume the
responsibility of disbanding the party They
need not come 10 the Republicans, nor vote for
Republican candidate all that is necessary will
be to vote for candidate Of their own, and mani
fest sufficient independence to stand by him. Let

favor OF free Kansas. Let them nominate and
