THE AFRICAN TwISs.-The Cheraw Gazette
moots singular question. Mr.. ]. P. Smith ar
rived at Cheraw few weeks ago, from Scotland,
with the African twins, of whom some little talk
has been made. During her stay in Scotland,
their mother gave birth to another child, whom
she brought home with her. Now the question
arises if that child, born on the soil of Scotland
is bond or free2 If born free, how can it be
held in slavery here? And was not its intro.
duction in this country violation of the law
prohibiting the foreign slave trade2 The mother
became free when she entered Scotland, but re-
turning here, she returns to her owners. The
remaining question is, can she enslave her child
in her own return to servitude?

fellow of North Carolina. Having been put in
Jail for marrying thirteen wives, he made his es.
cape and was seen three or four days afterward
by gentleman who recognized him. The gen
teman, anxious to secure the reward for his
apprehension, invited him to his house to dinner,
and then slyly slipped out in pursuit of con-
stable; but great was his horror on bis return to
find that the culprit had absconded with his own
wife

Minnesota, the SGD sister just borr

Minnesota, the SGD sister just born
into the family Of the United States, is
democratic without . doubt The
Tribune and other leading republican
papers Of the Union have been claim
ing Minnesota with calm positiveness
which is quite remarkable. The Du.
buque Tribune in the height Of its glec
over the supposed victory says: The
young state has commenced nobly' in
her career Of self-government." We
are glad, that for once, we, too, have
taken the same idea and express a
heartfelt concurrence in the expression
Of the Times. 1t was, indeed most
"nobly' done, and that to her individ-
ual honor, rs we'll a. to tho glory OF
our common country. But we must
point out slight mistake to the Rev
Times which it contained in q para
graph wherein he says, "Ramsey, who
was our first Governor Of the Territory,
will he the first Governor of the new
State" Ia this the Times Is probably
wrong, and rs it severely clashes with
the former noble sentiment which we
have quoted, We presume Kamsey's
name was used through mistake.
1t has been most laughable to notice
the bold assurance with which the
opposition have seen TT to claim this
State election as resulting in their IA
vor, even before they had seen the re-
turns from dozen precincts. What
have they to say nowl Has all their
glee vanished, as the true state Of az
fairs has become apparent or will they
honestly cling to their first assertion,
that 1.-THE young state has commenced
nobly" We endorse the opinion, and
express unboundcd satisfaction in the
event which has constituted II. II.
Sibley, Governor, Messrs. Becker
Phelps and Csvanaugh Senators, and
both branches Of the Legislature dem
ocrstic by good working majority,
thus cnsuring two democratic United
States Senators from this young state
All hail to the Gopher State, as she
swings off under the banner of true
national Democracy. Again we coin
eide with the editor of the Times
1.-THE young State has commenced
MOLLY in her career of self govern

CARD FROM DIR. J. G. YOUNG's Pr


n Medical Ofce-To the Afcted-In this age Of pro-
progress when science is almost miraculous everything IN
common place looked upon not worth notice In view
of this fact Dr. Young (corner Of Montgomery and Cal-
forna streets up stairs has concluded to leave the peat
en- track hitherto pursued by most scientific physicians
hat OF waiting for the public to find you aone and pub.
lsh to the world as much may be, his knowledge OF
the healing art let those in need Of assistance know
where they can find relief without being imposed upon
In continuation Of this subject Dr. Young would say
that for the past yesrs lie has pursued the practice of
medicine in one of the largest cities in the United States
with the highest success and that his standing as ply
sician without reprOach having at one time been lee
turer the University Of Pennsy venrea diseases
Upon these considerations Dr. Young has confidence IN
introducing himself TO the public knowing that they will
sustain well earned merit
The following few of the many testimonials which
have appeared in the public journals within the last lew
years:
from the Boston Medical Journal
Although opposed to the system of advertising
for good and sufficient reasons still We deem it but justice
to saw that Dr. Young Of the most industrious and
indeatiguabe votares of medical science in the United
States.
From Professor Jackson
The subscriber is personally acquainted with Ir. Young
and has much Of his practice and bear testimony
to his merits practitioner
from the New York Herald
The eminence of this distinguished genteman in his pro
esson and the very extended opportunities possessed by
him for the observation of vencreal disease makes services
invaluable to those afflicted with the above complaints
From the Wing and Advcrtiserl
All afflicted with private complaints should If possible
consult DR.. Young whose medical education is not sur
passed by any Physician in the Country In his skill hon
and integrity, all may rely with safety, while most o
the medical practitioners in this city without honesty
repectabity their preensons being grounded in gno
rauce and assumption.
