A FREE NEGRo Girl SOLD AS A SLAVE

a sad story :-
FREDEaIcKsDuRGH, Va, Sept 9, 1857.
TO the Mayor of Richmond As a friend
of humanity and justice, permit me to ask

police officer from here with the child
mother to Washington city. They have re-
turned. and could not get the child, but com
menced legal proceedings against the parties
guilty of the offence The girls real name is

ate attention will much oblige,
Yours, respectfully,

FINANCES IN MGNNEsoTA.-Th following
extract from a letter from an intelligent mer-
chant in So. Anthony, NJ. r., dated Oct. 3,
TO gentleman Of this city, shows that the
financial pressure extends to that territory,
and is severely ielt.-Bosioa Dduy AdreHiser.
This afternoon, most OF the merchants of
St Anthony and Minneapolis met in conven-
ton and unanimously agreed to ask for an
extension OF three months from their Eastern
creditors, as, under the present circumstan-
ces. it is impossible Cor them to meet their
-...'as coming due within that time We have
considerable money in circulation, such as it
is, but of a quality that does not pass current
in the East, and is refused by our bankers
when ollerod for exchange on New York or
Boston; gold in any quantity is not to be OBJ
tanned at any per cent. therefore they were
obliged to get an extension or tail. st. Paul
merchants have done likewise. and moreover
the lawyers have held meetings and agreed
not to prosecute any merchant OF levy any
attachment for the same period with the
above arrangements we Minnesota merchants
will weather the present financial crisis very
successfully

ODD FELLOWSHIP IN NORTH -CARoLNA.-The

We learn from the report of the Grand Master,

We are sorry to learn from the following para
graph from the report that the lodge is not in as
hourishing a condition would wish to see it
From the facts disclosed by your officers, it
would seem we have not great deal Of cause for
congralulation in regard the material prosperity
of the order. Indeed it would seem, from compari-
son, that there has been successive depression for
several years. Indeed the Grand Master feels some
apprehension, he must confess. upon the subject of
the fund for the support Of the Grand Lodge
Whether the addition Of further taxation, the ab-
clifton OF annual sessions, and the substitution in
lieu thereof of bienniel, the means of placing
this fund upon permanent basis, Is not for him 10
say, but suggestions thrown out for your consd
eration OF this, however he feels assured that this
fund should be permanent; it should not be liable
to the fluctuations which it has been heretofore
subject, and which threaten it. 1t should, too,
be sufficiently large to render it unnecessary at any
time for our Grand Officers to run their names to
obtain means, with which to pay off the expenses
of this body. 1t is the duty of wise legislation to
avert and not to await patiently the arrival Of threat
ensd injury and disaster. Ii may be, that we may
find in the present financial embarrassments of our
entire country, proper explanation Of our dimin-

We have suggested February the suitable time
for holding the Convention to nominate a candidate
for Governor. The Western Democrat prefers May,
aud the n. G. Standard recommends April. The
time, however. is of little Importance, provided care
be taken have every part Of the State represented
We, therefore, urge friends throughout the
west, to see that every county appoint such dele
gates will suffer engagements to prevent them
from attending the meeting Of the convention. A
full representation, from every part of the State,
will scarcely fail to nominate candidate to whose
support to the whole party will tremendously aud
enthusiastically rally.-Salisbury Banner.

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-The work of taking the
Atlantic cable out of the 4gamemnon, as we'll as the
Niagara, had been completed. The cable is coed
in water tight apartments, as to admit of its be-
ing submitted to variety of tests under water
During the whole of the Winter, Mr. Whitehouse,
the chief electrician of the Company, is to be en-
gagged in experiments of a most interesting nature
upon the cable, to ascertain not only its elec
trio capabilities, but the rate at which each signal
can be transmitted, and the effect which the differ
ent periods of the day. the temperature and state of
the atmosphere have upon its conducability. The
attempt to lay the cable next year is to be made at
the end of June beginning of July, and it has
been determined to to the plan originally
templated, namely, to commence the submerging
process in the middle of the Atlantic, the two YES
sells engaged sailing respectively for the shores of
Newfoundland and ireland. Three thousand miles
of cable are to be coed on the vessels instead of
1900 as in the first attempt, and the manufacture
of the additional quantity has been commenced.
