This work has been compiled as a means of en-
tightening public sentiment on an interesting but
much neglected department of American History,
and is graced with an introduction by Mrs Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, and illustrated by engravings
of Crispus Attucks, the first martyr in the Boston
massacre of March 5th ITO; Peter Salem, on
Bunker Hill and a facsimile autograph certifi-
cate of General Washington, rendered to a colored
soldier The increasing interest on the general
subject of Slavery invests this book with rare at
traction at the present time, for throughout its
pages are exhibited various phases of the pecu-
liar Institution" interviewer with incidents of pat
riotism and bravery of colored Americans /" in the
days that tried mems souls From several COM

selections
This neat volume of nearly 400 pages is a very
curious and interesting book, not only as regards
the character of its contents but as being the pro-
ductiOn of young colored man. native of, and
educated In, Boston. 1t purports to be an effort
to stem the tide OF prejudice against the colored
race, and to show that they are fit for something
higher than the menial drudgery to which they
are generally doomed.
Mr.. Nell has gathered many int 'esting facts, and
woven them together In very effective manner.
He has extended his researches into the local his
tories of seventeen of the States of the Union and
presents great mass of testimony in behalf of
the military services of the colored people, which
Will astonish those who have not heretofore given
the subject thought. He very properly com
mences with the story of Crispus Attucks, the mu-
latto who fell at the time of the Boston Massa-
cre,' and records very many deeds of proves, not
forgetting, of course, those of the coored veter-
ans at the battle of New Orleans He has also
embodied much information in the chapters on the
condition and prospects of the colored American,
and in the Appendix. "-Saiem Register,

The Ono BLACK BLACK Law UNcoNsTI-
rUTIoNAL.-The Court of Common Pleas Of
Cuyahoga county, through Judge Foote,
this morning delivered an important de-
cision. AT the last election, Freeman III.
Morris, tailor, of this city, and having
about one-fourth negro blood in his veins,
presented himself at the First Ward voting
place, and was barred from voting on ac-
count of his negro blood. Action was
brought against the Judges of Election,
Sanborn, Christian and Garrett, for lille
gally rejecting the vote. They pleaded
in defence the recent action of the Legisla-
ture respecting any person having negro
blood in his veins. The case was made
up, and submitted to the Court. This
morning Judge Foote decided for the plain
tiff, declaring the Black Law" to be un-
constitutional. The Court held that un-
der the old Constitution of Ohio all per-
sons having more than half white blood
were declared to be legally white. The
new Constitution merely mentioned "white
persons" without defining what constituted
white persons. Consequently the defni-
ton of white person contained in the
old Constitution remained in full force, and
any law declaring person having more
than half white blood to be negro, must
of necessity be unconstitutional, - CteUe-

D1sGRAcEFUL OuTRAGE-We learn from
the Flushing Journal" that most indie
cent assault, it is alleged, was perpetrated
upon the person of an idiotic colored girl,
aged 13 years, by white man aged 30,
on Thursday last, at Bayside. The moth
er of the child left home to go out to a
days work on that day, leaving it with one
or two other children. While she was alb
sent, the miscreant, after inveigling the
smaller children from the honse, entered
and perpetrated the outrage in question.
The screams of the child were heard at a
considerable distance. A warrant was is
sued for the arrest of the scamp, who is
well known, but when the journal" went
to press he had not been captured.

HARD TO BEAT.-William Jason, col
ored man, who stands six feet and some
three inches in his boots, and makes gas
for our gas company, astonished our brag
mowers at the beginning of harvest, by
talking of what he could do with fair
shake in big wheat. No one was disposed
to believe he could do half he said, al
though it was conceded that William had
too good character to tell falsehood, even
by way of Dragging. To prove he could
do all ne said, however, he made a con-
tract to cut Mr.. John Jumps field of
wheat, twelve acres, at seventy five cents
per acre also lot of six acres for Joseph
Graham, Esq, at the same price. These
eighteen acres he cut in little over three
days and half, and worked moderately !;
and so rapidly does he swath it that two
binders find it hard work to keep up with
him. He is a perfect aoheat machine, and
is ready to contract with any one to cut
siG acres q day, at one dollar per acre,
and no charge for the days work if he
does not do it between the rising of the
sun and the going down Of the same. If
any doubt his ability to do it, let them try
him. This is about the usual quantity cut
by three Graders hereabouts Although
first rate at making gas, William is still
better in harvest field. He cuts clean
