THE SERVIl.E NSlRSECTION

The Slave instructions now of frcaucn:

properly subjects of thought. 1t NAV appear
strange that human beings, even if black or
partially so, who have plenty to eat, comfort

from the sacred volume, " Servants. obey
your masters in all things. 1T may seem
unaccountable that such beings should be
otherwise than contrnted and happy. But
almost every mail from the South brings
us fearful evidence that 10 An alarming ex-
tent it is not so. Accounts of wbirpinss and
burnings, hanSnSs and torturincs, sweep up
from the Middle and sea board Slave States
till we, who are so far removed from the
scour.e. shudder with sympathetic horror.
With the remembrance which the awful re-
vense taken by the IIeots of Sparta. the
Serfs of Rome, and the blacks of st. Domn-
90, rising before us. we may at the very least
exhibit some Christian emotion OF pity for
those over whom this cloud is impending.
The scenes nov Transporting at the South
are spasmodic and temporary. Yet the germs
of something ten times mere fearful lie in ev-

not sometime call to Yankee pedllers to SAFE
their own homes from Dissertation The
legislation of the government, and the de-
mands of the South during the last few wears,
inevitably tend in that direction. To save
the country from this fate was one Of the
primary objects of the Republican party.
The only safeguard from such terrors is in
the Limitation of slavery, and in the gradual
ameIioration of the condition of the servie
race;and finally. by the action of the masters
themselves,in their ultimate emanci patton.
Every new advantage gained by the slave
holders postpones this peaceful result, and
involves the almost certainty OF servile
war. Nav God in bis wisdom, direct to a
happier issue!

The FIRST CNFURLING OF THE AMERI

Japan, Sept.4 4. The San Jacinto arrived in
the waters Of Japan about Aug. 81, having
on board Mr. Harris, Consul General Of the
United States for the two ports of Simoda and
Hakodadi, opened by the recent treaty to the
American trade. After good deal of talk
the Japanese authorities finally permitted Mr..
Harris to land. The writer says:

FATAL AFFRAY.-On Thursday morning
last. (says the Camden Journal,) Coroner
DELAY was called upon to hold an Inquest
over the body of Chas. t. Evans, who had
been shot the night before at the house of
Mary Bowen. about eight miles from Cam
den, by man named Chesley Boatwright.
1t appears that the deceased and several
other persons met at Mrs. Bowen's and
among the number was Boatwright They
had been drinking and dancing, and when
the party broke up and were about separat-
ing, difficulty spfang up between Evans
and Boatwright, which led to harsh words,
and terminated in the death of Evans. We
do not feel inclined to go into details, or to
comment upon this shocking occurrence
Boatwright has been committed to Jail to
await bis trial, and a Jury of the country
will adjudicate the case.
