A White Slave Reclaimed owing to hi:
Slows KEY to Uncle Toms Cabin.

Benz. Davis s Bros. ,of this city, received
a few days since letter from person nam
ed Miles Owen, which contains the following
statement:
In 1884, one German Goodoe sold &c
H. T. T. Miller, in Natchez, then Posimas-
ter there, yellow woman and her child
When Miller died the slaves became the
property OF Owen by purchase. In 80 Owen
sold the woman, whose name was Atwell,
and in 1876 he sold the boy 10 G. w. Rag
land. of Alabama, by whom he was taught the
trade Of brickmason. In 1852 the by ran
off from Ragland and went 10 Pittsburg
where he assumed the name Of George
Washington, passed himself off as white
man, and married white woman, by whom
he had child. A man named Shaw, also a
mason who had worked in Alabama, saw
he boy in Pittsburg, but could not place him
until he read Ragland's advertisement in
Mrs. Stoves "Key 10 Uncle Toms Cabin,
when he at once recognized him as Rag
lands property. Shaw Immediately COM
municated with Ragland, and received in
struciions 10 watch the boys movements
which he did for five years.
Last winter he missed him, but on en-
Guiry found he was in St. Louis, Missouri.
He Immediately proceeded 10 Alabama, had
an interview with Ragland, who sent man
with him 10 ST. Louis. When they got there
they found that the bay had gone to Bruins
wick, in the same State, where hey follow
ed and succeeded in arresting him. They
then took him 10 Alabama TO his MASTER
Shaw returned to Pittsburg, but Immediate
ly on arriving there the boys wife had him
arrested ''for attempting 10 decoy of. and
carry into bondage her husband" He was
thrown into Jail in default Of finding bail to
the amount of $4,000. and has been there
since last March; the penalty for the crime
with which he is charged is a fine OF So 600
and confinement in the penitentiary for not
less than five nor more than twenty years,
and he will suffer this Unless he can clearly
show that the boy was slave.
The obiectof Owen writing 10 the Mesrs.
Davis Is 10 find some trace of Goodloe, and
ascertain from him from whom he purchased
the woman Atwell and her child, and pro-
cure some witness from among the family
who owned them who will goto Pittsburg
in October 10 testify in behalf of Shaw
The boy was too small in 1884 10 remem-
her anything of his master, and i, is not
known whether the woman Atwell is alive.

celebrated Dr. BRAGG, who, BY a careful observ-

greatest invention, and it may be stated as ''fact

1.-THE following letter deserves TO be
put upon record, as par. Of the histsry OF
the recent extraordinary canvass in this
State:
The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1858-03-24

Just completed this difficult and dangerous
task, watched by number of persons in the
street below, and while looking at the work
and experiencing that satisfaction which
results from hazard passed and labor accom-
plished, OF a sudden something heavy struck
him and made his brain reel until he could
hardly see. Instead Of losing his hold at
once, as would seem to have been the natu-
raj and inevitable result. he clung with
power beyond himself and win superior to
bis own, closer and instinctiyely to the spire.
He knew not what had occurred, and to his
confused senses it appeared that the stecple
was tumbling, or that some strange cause was
about to bring the vast structure to tie
ground.
Some forty seconds-an age to him--must
have elapsed before he sufficiently collected
his scattered thoughts and subyerted con-
seriousness to know that the entire upper part
Of the rod had fallen upon his head, causing
the blood to trckie over his forehead, and
nearly blind him. He was in dreadful per-
plexlty and IN, st dangerous position. He
feared, il he moved, he would 90 cleaying
the air 10 a terrible death upon the stony
street below-and at the same time he knew
he could not, in the disordered state Of his
nerves, and his increasing weakness, retain
his grasp, more the result of fate than of
feeling, much longer. Ifhe stirred be might
fall il he remained be certainly would, and
so, determined to make at least an effort for
his life, he put one foot very cautiously, then
his arms and then his other foot; and after
a half minute of exertion. and the greatest
danger, he touched the topmost round Of the
ladder, and in few seconds more was inside
-of the steeplc and safe.
Then it was Mr.. KS great courage and
strength forsook him; his nerves and muscle
relaxed he grew sick unto death /; his knees
gave way his vision swan, and he sank upon
tie platform motionless and insensible. lie
must have lain there half an hour before be
could rise and walk, and he did not recover
from the shock for more than fortnight
afterwards.
The people gazing up at him from the
street describe the scene as painful and ex.
citing in the extreme. When they observed
the rod fall, thrill Of horror ran through
their hearts, and two women swooned away,
for they expected to behold him the next mo-
ment dashed TO pieces at their feet. Destiny
had ordered otherwise, and Mr.. X. still pur-
sues his dangerous ayocation; but he says il
he were to live a thousand years he never
would forget the intense horror Of those
lcentury-like moments, when he seemed to
hang upon the air more than two hundred
feet above the earth, and to be momentarily
descending to dreadful death.
