OLD VIRGINIA.

Extract from q private letter dated s.,
Conn.,. Nov. 5, 1856, from lady to her friend in
New-York
81 went last evening to see the SIS. and had a
very pleasant call. We conversed about bred
Mrs. S. had read one volume, and was especially
Interested in Harry, as she had seen slave al
most exactly his counterpart, while she was pri-
vate teacher at the South. She resided in the fam
lily of q Mr. F. who was for some years men,
Der Of Congress, some nine or ten months The
slave, whom we will call Harry was Mr. F.'s
half-brother and his property lie was we'll ed
ucated, perfect gentleman, and held in the high
est estimation by his master and brother, who
would not for worlds have parted with him. Har-
ry felt his degradation most keenly, and in his in
most soul sighed for freedom. He would often
stop and ask, Mrs. S. then young LADY, ques-
tions about the North, but she never encouraged it
for fear of making him discontented and unhappy.
His wife was free woman, and consequently by
the laws of Virginia his children also free.
He supported them in small cabin on Mr.. F.'s
grounds. Harry never expressed his mind openly
to Mrs. S. until the night before she left. When
she went into the kitchen to bid the servants good
by, Harry came in and said, Oh Miss Caroline,
wish could go with YOU She replied, Uncle
Harry, you would be perfectly miserable at the
North, SO homesick and wretched. You know you
would not be contented to leave your home, where
you are so happy" He replied with thrilling en-
phasis DO you not think I,could sacrifice erery-
Ming in this tuorld for my .tfeedom" !"
"She advised him then to buy himself off. He
replied that he had friends that would raise any
amount of money he required for this purpose, but
that lie knee Nr. +. rouIa neUer consent TO part
nth him.
"IIe seemed very unhappy and detected as she
bade him farewell--and yet the family had often
related to her instances of his devotion and held
him up as an example Of a Stare iohO on no cOnSid

AFRICA.

DR.. Livingston, the celebrated African traveller
and explorer, has had conferred upon him the
freedom of the city of London. On the occa-
sion, he made some remarks in reference
to the condition and capabilities of Africa ex press
ing himself convinced that many discoveries of
great benefit to the world would resul. from the
opening of the interior of that continent. lie
instanced the substances of gutta percha and
caoutchoec, as not known few years since, and
now indispensable to almost every household, and
considered these as but samples of commerce yes
to come to light. lie had ibrous plant in his
possession, entirely unknown to commerce, which
a London firm has pronounced to be wo-th, when
prepared between ESQ and EGO ton. He also
found upwards of u dozen kinds of fruit totally
unheard of i'll England which seemed to him ex-
ceilent, and capable of higher cultivation. The
tribes in the interior greatly superior to those
on the coast, and anxious to cultivate intercourse
with white men. The country extremely
fertile, as may be judged from the fact that the
traveller often passes through grass high as to
cover his head while he sits on an OK.
The doctor closed with renewing his convictions
of the desirAbility of bringing Central Africs
within the community of nations.
