KIDNArPINo.-We learn from the Wilmington
Del. Common wealth that, some month or two
back, two negro boys we're i~nyeigled into n trap set
for the purpose by some as yet unknown indlvidu'
ais in Sussex County, and, being secured, we're
kidnapped, carried away and sold into slavery at
the South. A distinguished lawyer of that coun.
ty was consulted in regard to the matter, who i'm
mediatcly put things in train for the discovery OF
the whereabouts of the boys. Having got on the
and finally tho two negroes were traced to their
present location, and identified. The gentleman
having the matter in charge proceeded to the spot,
which is in the neighborhood Of richmond Virgin
ia, and, having seen the boys, returned and passed
through this city a few days ago, on bis way to

evidence wherewith to identify the negroes, as will
lead to their release and return to home, friends
and freedom. The names of the parties engaged
in the nefarious business of kidnapping have not
yet been given to the public, but will be in the
course OF a few weeks, and, il possible, they will
be arrested and tried for the offence against the
laws of Delaware Chester County Pennsylvania
Times.
A MIGnTY MEAN MAN.-The st. Louis Demo-
crat tells of q colored family who were driven from
their home on the Illinois shore during the late
freshet and who were forced to take up q tempo
rory residence in 81. Louis. Free negroes are not
allowed to live in Missouri without license and
} they had none. This neglect was discovered by a
3, very enterprising lawyer, who at once procured
the arrest of these drowned out" trespass ;rs,
and caused them to pay over every cent they could
scrape, on peril of going tc jail-to be whipped
out or sold as slaves. Their fines being paid, and
they having made preparations TO depart, they
found themselves accidentally detained a few
hours beyond their prescribed three days. There
upon the limb Of the law again caused their ar
rest and had them subjected to fines as before
They finally escaped to Illinois. This is about the
meanest act. even for a lawyer, that we have
chronicled in a long time.
A GIRL RESCUED FROM THE MoRMoNs.-An in
teresting case was lately tried before Judge Eek
els, at Great Salt Lake City, for three days, on a
writ of haboas corpus, brought on behalf of an
Englishman, named Polydors, to recover the custo-
dy Of his daughter, who was carried to Utah by
her mother, and was then in the family Of one of
the Mormon elders. The girl was delivered up to
father.
FALLING OFF IN EMIGRATION For the fret time
in the history Of emigration to the United States
from the British Island there is now a prep0nder.
ance in the movement towards Australia and Can
| a ..o, 49, s-..--lu -. I--- ut n -:
returns made up in England show that for the
first three months Of 1858 the aggregate number
of emigrants from Great Britain was 5000, of
whom $500 were bound for the United States,
against 1926 for the corresponding period of
1857. or the rest 9, 1867 were for Australian colo
MES. Emigration for all parts of the world has
not been at SO low a figure for fifteen years past
as it now is. 1t attained its maximum figure in
1853. when it reached $40, 725. This was reduc.
ed to less than one half in 1857, when the emf.
grafton only reached some lS0, 900.
: A New WAY OF GETTING OUT OF DEBT.-A
correspondent of the Montgomery (Ala) Mail,
who signs himself Anti'Squadron, thinks that if
the prohibition of the slave trade were removed,
that the people of Alabama could import as many
African laborers as they need for the construction
Of all the lines of railroad they wish to construct,
a. 500 per head, and after doing the work with
them, sell them out Mt 500 a head, and thus pay
for the equipment Of the roads, and all the ex'
pense Of construction, and still have a surplus
left.

+ REV. CHARLES BEECHER.-The Boston Recorder
} says that this clergyman not only believes in the
East Indian Notion of Pre'Existence," but
+, also THAT Christ when on earth was in u state of
probation !" THAT belief in a Calvinistic creed
should not be a qualification for admission to the
Christian church - that Christ may redeem all
men in the next world, if not in this" and "that
God may pardon there as well as here" Not.
w:thstanding this, he was duly installed lately as
a pastor of the Georgetown Congregational Church

SOUND SENTlMENr.-The North, Vest Christian
Adrocdte says: The man who claims the child OF
the slave mother as his property, is guilty of a
: crime involving the very essence OF man'stealibg.
He seizes it, wrests from it it's natural right to free
Idom-a right given by God, and which this nation
once declared 'inalienable'-and asserts an owner
ship founded upon the simple claim of superior
power. 1t is not q simple possession OF one before
reduced to slavery. 1t is the original crime-the
. original piracy. 1t is primary enslaving. why
should he be dealt with differently from other sim
e ners ?" All, brother, be careful lest you dissolve
the great Union by such suggestions !"
DRINKING AND CARD-PLAYING IN RUssIA.-The
Presse gives a gloomy account of the demoraliza-
ton which prevails amongst the population Of
Russia. and which is encouraged by the financial
system of the country. 1t appears that $50 million
francs, ov nearly one moiety of the state revenue
is derived from the sale of brandy licences, and
that the Russian peasant is ruined in soul and
body by a decoction OF river water, nitric acid, sui
phuric acid, and tobacco juice. 1t is calculated,
