NovFL. CoNsIGNMEMT-TwO sprightly speci-
Mons Of ebony arrived in town, yesterday, by ex-
Drees. from Kentucky. They were consigned to
lie Junior editor of the Spy. They we're young,
active bows. aud bore TO the coDsignee the en-
5arsoment +" that he was welcome to them, if he
eould keep them any better than their owner
did II was cruel thing though, to send them
away from the tender mercies oil slavery TO place.
where even slave Ministries have to sing 10 empty
benches, and colored artists nave TO iVe out
doors.
The above is from the Transcript of yesterday,
and it affords only another illustration OF the fact
that "the Deacon =" not only will not suffer an
opportunity to pass by to slur the people of Wor-
cestsr. but that he will make an opportunity by
stretching the truth, IL by doing he anindulge
his Spleen The specimens Of ebony to which
he alludes bore no such endorsement to the con-
sienee as he has stated, and there is not PAL
ticle Of truth upon which TO found it. 1t the
editor Of the Transcript thinks it was cruel
thing for the owner of two little boys born aud
reared in slavery, to send them to Worcester,
where the chances are that they can be brought
up and educated as human beings, Instead of be-
ing compelled to lead lives Of abjfct servitude,
perhaps he may think it best to send some of his
own down that way. If he thinks freedom in
Worcester is less desirable than plantation life
in Kentucky, perhaps he would not object to
taking the place of the two little fellows who
were consigned to our care.
We assure him that, should he conclude to do
so,We will be happy to furnish him with letter of
introduction. and recommend him as fit subject
for that kind Of life. We suppose the last para
graph of his article, in which he alludes to slave
minstrels, who have to sing to empty benches,
and coored artists, to live out DOORS refers to the
fact that the Alabama slave Ministries not
able to fill Mechanics Hall, and to Professor Mol
incaux's complaints Of the difficulty of procuring
tenement. The first concert of the slave min
strels was well attended, and the audience was as
large, or larger, than usually attends such exhi-
billions. The agent himself assured US that he
had good house and as for Prof Molineaux, we
believe that the public has long since settled the
question, that his complaints about the difficulty
of procuring tenement were groundless How
ever, the Deacon has had fresh opportunity to
play second fiddle to tue border ruffian organ, in
sneering at the philanthropy of Worcester, and
we presume he feels better.

GENERAL SooTr.-We learn that Colonel
Duryea, of the seventh regiment National
Guard, has rendered to Lieutenant General
Scott, in behalf OF his command. an escort
from New York to Boston, on the occasion of
his visit to Boston, on the 18th of June, and
that Gen. Scott promptly and unhesitatingly
accepted the same. He will therefore arrive
in Boston on the morning of the 18th, under
escort of the regiment. The regiment will
quarter at the Revere House. We understand
that there is quite an enthusiasm among the
members of the regiment, in favor of the ex-
cursion, and it is quite probable the citizens of
Boston will have the pleasure of seeing the
regiment number at least five hundred men.
