7 A Sur FOR FREEpoM At MoBrLE.-An
interesting slave case was tried in the city
court of Mobile last week, in which eolored
woman name Grassie, and her seven chill
dren, were plaintiffs, or petitioners for their
fret dom, and H. Bloodgood and wife :defen-
dants- The Mobile Tribune says:
The facts proved BY the petitioners were
that Josiah w. Dallan, of Hartford county,
NIL, manumItted the entire number of his
slaves in the year 1887, among whom was
woman called Hannah. The deed provided
that this Hannah should continue in service
thirteen years, and then be free; and that
any children or children's children born dur
ing such servitude should be free after
lapse Oftwenty- three years. The petitioner
further proved that Hannah had daughter
named Matilda, who yves carried to Kea-
tucky at a very early age, where she fell into
the hands of a woman whose name was
Molly Townsend; that after her twenty
third year she still continued with this
woman, having, at the expiration OF that,
bacome entitled to her freedom under the
deed before mentioned; that she had eight
children. and that she brought 3 suit against
this Molly Townsend for her freedom-that
while this suit was pending she ran of with
six of her children-that Grassie was one Of
the children so run off-that suit was deci-
ded in Mutida's favor, and finally, that
Grassie was born after her mother had
attained her twenty third year ard she and
her children were, therefore, free.
The grounds of defense were that the
deed introduced in evidence was not tech.
nically NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the manner of
its attestation was not precisely conformahle
to the laws of Maryland relating to the
manumission of slaves, and that Grassie was
torn before her mother had attained her
twenty third year.
The jury, after brief consultation, rend-
cred a verdict that Grasce and all her child
rem was born free, and consequently were
entitled to their freedom.

The Newly Invented War Engine


A correspondent of the New York Jour-
nal of Commerce alluding to the "lnfernai
Machine which Gen. Walkers friends
have recently purchased for his army in Nj
caragua, thus explains its efficiency and
deadly irstrumentality =
Ia form il resembles small grindstone,
turned by crank, and will discharge 300
oue-ounce balls every minute, attended BY
only two men. Every machine is caicula-
ted to destroy three regiments of soldiers in
the sace space of time 1t can be directed
with the same ease as a common rife is
handled.
The inventor, Il Yankee, is now in Eng
land experimenting before the Admiralty,
and great many old Generals, OF all coun-
tries. who evince much interest, and have
written him letters expressive Of their won-
der and astonishment. One distinguished
Polish General expresses himself to the in
yent,., ssthal as so1n as this deadly weap-
on becomes in use, wars and rumors OF war
must cease" The gun, or machine, dis
charges without report, and sends the ball
three times the distance of the ordinary rife
or cannon, as the case may be. The Brit
ish government has offered the inventor
f20O 900 sterling, if he can enlarge his ma
chine to discharge 81 pound shot This
he is now doing, and informs his agent here
he shall accomplish it. The Russian Min
lister at London is anxions for the patent,
and has offered him his price; but he says to
his friends, 81 mean no other nation shall
have it but England, and my own country" :"
Previous to his going to Europe, he offer
eG the right to the American government at
Washington. Experiments were made with
one onnce and seven pound cannonades, be-
fore our naval end other officers, by order of
the Secretary OF State, which proves all |
have related above to the entire satisfaction
of those present. One of these "internal
machines" placed npon the deck of ves-
sci, one of the Commudore's remarked
swould sink frigate in three minutes. =
Snch constant discharge Of balls, just as
fast as they can be handed and rolled in,
with the accuracy they can be directed, must
inevitably destroy all before it, besides the
great distance and out of danger of the ene-
my's guns.

6TThe State House Festival came of
Tuesday evening last, according tc pro-
gramme. The number of persons in at
tendance was immense. and the Jam at the
street entrance, at the West door Of the
building, and portions of the interior, espe-
cialy the rotunda, where the refreshments
were served, was such the like of which we
never before witnessed. The committee de-
serve credit for their efforts to make the
nffair pleasant and satisfactory in every re-
spect, and if it was not SO the faul, was not
in them, but in the want OF space in which
to accommodate the immense host present,
and the jamping and confusion necessarily
incident TO u crowd such as was there as
sembled.
The principal ceremonies took place in
the Representative Hall, and consisted Of
prayer by Rev. DIR. Hoge, an address Of
welcome on benalf of the people Of Colum-
bus, by Hon. Alfred Kelley; a response in
behalf Of the people by Governor Chase;
and a response In behalf Of the Legislative
by Hon. Mr.. Smith, member of the House
from Montgomery.
These ceremonies being over, the even
ing was spent in dancing, promenading,
conversation, &C., and such rs had patience
and perseverance, could stand an indeSnite
amount OF pressure and iOstling. and were
not very particular as TO how many dishes
of oysters and coffee were spilled over their
clothes and person, probably got something
TO ea,-bu, in this portiUn OF the feis we
think comparatively few OF those in a,,end-o
auce. especially ladies', had an opportunity
to particapate Ga-eite.
