HE PARADISE OF RoGUEs.-A bill has
been introduced into the Legislature of
Minnesota, intended to stimulate the immi-
grafton into the State, much on the principle
that the founders of old Rome are said to
have adopted in filling up their colony. This
bill exempts actual settlers from all process
of law for the recovery of debts that were
contracted before coming into the State

The ENsLAvEMENT OF FREE NEGROES
The bill now before the Virginia Legisla.
ture, providing for the enslavement of free
negroes, under certain circumstances, pro-
poses to hire them out for period of three
years from the date of the passage of the
act, the proceeds of their hire to be appropri-
ated to their transportation from the State.
The hiring shall be managed by an overseer,
to be chosen by the county courts of the
several counties of the State: but it shall be
competent for any free negro within the
limitation assigned, to emigrate voluntarily
or enslave himself at his discretion. At the
end of three years all free negroes found in
the State are to be sold into slavery, the
proceeds of the sale to be deposited to the
credit of the State.

SOUTHERN AND WESTERN CREDIT
The following. from the New York Even
ing Post, upon the relative solvency of the
South and West, is a tolerably candid ad-
mission for freesoil paper. If it had sta
ted further, that it is the solvency of the an
atRematized South, and the productions of
slave labor, which are looked to by the North
to lift her from her present prostration and
embarrassment, it would have been equally
true, however notifying the acknowledge
ment.
1.-The Southern traders seem to stand up
on better footing than those out West :;
they have generally kept their business
within certain limit, while Western mer-
chants have been specializing largely in
land and railroads and indulgng in extrav-
agant expenditures; consequently we find
the majority of the lame ducks in the
Western States, while Southern credit is
comparatively well sustained. The spring
trade of 1853 will, 10 doubt, be slow and ir-
regular. Moments of activity may occur.
but the general current of business will be
wanting in the vigor and animation preva-
lent in former seasons"

GOOD TASTE IN DREss.-A young lady
in one of the leading circles at Washington
was complimented by gentleman on the
simplicity and good taste of her dress, at
an evening party. She replied Il am glad
you like my dress; it cost just eleven dol
lars, and l made every stitch of it myself"
When our young ladies pride themselves
upon the home manufacture and cheapness
of their attire, instead of their expensive
ness and foreign Importation. we will have
fewer broken" fathers and husbands,

DAMNING THE INFANTS. An exciting
scene occurred among the Congregational
lists at North Woburn, Massachusetts,, a
few weeks since. Alpheus S. Nickerson, a
recent graduate of Andoyer Theological
Seminary, made application to be admitted
as IN Evangelist in connection with the
Congregational Church and Society of that
village. The examination of the candi-
date was generally satisfactory to the
council. except upon a single subject.
Being questioned as to the salvation of
infants, he expressed his unqualified belief
in that doctrine. He did not know pre-
cisely how the thing could be accomplished
consistently with other parts of his creed,
but his confidence in the Divine justice
and goodness satisfied him that it was i'm
possible that those who had committed no
actual sin could be eternally damned.
Rev. Messrs. Cady, of West Cambridge,
Marvin, of Medford, Sewoll, of Burlington,
and Emerson, objected to this doctrine as
heresy not to be tolerated, and refused
to proceed to the ordination of the candi-
date. The council discussed the matter
warmly until seven O'Clock in the afternoon,
and then adjourned for eight weeks to re-
fleet upon it, the audience having waited
in the church from 10 o'clock till 4 in ex-
pectation of the services. This is re-
markable scene for this age of the world.

LARGEST CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES.
The African church, in Richmond, Vir-
GINA, has long been the largest church in
this country, though it is now second, in
point of numbers, to the church in Beaufort,
S. c., of which Rev. J. NJ. G. Breaker is
pastor. This clergyman writes to the
Examiner: Il have baptized 565 persons
in the fellowship of the Baptist Church, at
this place, beaufort S. CO. within the
present year, (1s57,) all of whom are
colored but eight; and this makes the present
number gifts membership 3,5ll-probably
the largest church in the world. Of these.
$50 are whites; all the rest colored."

A gentleman, somewhat noted for a vein
of humor, was riding some years ago in a
stage-coach in New Hampshire. Among
his companions were number of gentle
men whose black coats and white cravats
bespoke their clerical profession. The con-
versation turned upon politics. and after
wards upon its inevitable concomitant, the
institution of slavery. The clericnl gentle
men were of what is termed the conserva-
tive school. The principal spokesman in
Weighed strongly against the anti-slavery
leaders, and against Mr.. Garrison in par
ticular, for agitating the question SO far
away from the region most interested. "It
he wants TO attack the evil" said he, "why
does he not go where he can make some
impression upon it-where it exists? Why
does he squirt his little engine at fire
which is burning thousand miles off?"
The reverend gentleman chuckled heartily
at this sally, and the speaker looked around
with triumphant air. The person first
named, though an eminent judge, wa:
plainly dressed, and had few external at
fractions. The exulting clergyman turned
upon him as he sat in silence upon the from
seat, and asked him "what he thought
about itG" "You, gentlemen" said the
Judge, "appear to bo clergymen. You

Strange Slave Trial in Mason
Co.. Nv.

The correspondent Of the Pittsburgh DIS.
patch furnishes the following particulars Of
slave trial, held in Mason County Ken
tucky:
"On August 1lth and 18th, one of the
most exciting cases ever occurring in this
section of country, and one, too, in which
the feelings of all were deeply enlisted,
came before the circuit court. The circum-
stances of the case briefly stated are these
About year and half since, a woman
was arrested by order of man named
Dodson, acting as agent for one Mrs. God
dard, was brought to this town and lodged
in negro Jail for shfe keeping, until fur
ther disposition could be made of her per-
son, the intention of the person or persons
ordering her arrest undoubtedly being to
sell her to 90 down South.
Seeing what appeared to every one n
white woman held in bondage as stave
and confined in a negro jail enlisted the
deepest feeling in her behalf She was
Immediately taken from her captivity,
bond was drawn and signed by some OF our
most worthy citizens for her security aud
she returned to her home aud friends. The
truth of the matter was this: She had
been held as slave for more than twenty
years, and to make it appear more fully
that she was a slave, her so-called owner,
had recognized her marriage with negro
man, which she, Ignorant that she was not
a slave, had consented 10. Thus was q
dark veil thrown over the scene. to blind
more fully thos. who much sooner would
have looked into and ferreted out this un-
precedented case When her alleged own
ers found out that she intended suing for
her freedom, upon the ground that she
was not a negro, but white woman, with
not particle of negro blood in her veins,
they had her arrested and lodged in Jail so
as to go Souh, thus getting her cut of the
way, and thereby relieving themselvs Of
further trouble.
A suit for her freedom was Immediately
ly instituted, and on Tuesday and Wednes-
dav the trial came off in our Circuit Court,
the sequel of which is as follows:
The very ablest counsel of which our
Bar can boast, had enlisted themselves IN
her behalf-not from any expectation of
any pecuniary reward or gain, for they ex-
pected none-they knew they would receive
none.
The case being thus submitted to the
jury, they retired to prepare their verdict.
Language is inadequate to express the sus.
pense then prevalent in the crowded Court
House, and when the jury returned, and
the foreman answered the question of the
Judge, that they were agreed, so still and
death-like was that crowded hall that the
dropping of pin, even the slightest breath
would have been perfectly audible, while
they waited for the breaking of the sealed
verdict. But when the seal was broken,
and the verdict that the prisoner no longer,
was FREE, one universal and long coniin-
ued shout of applause rent the air.
