THE PRICE OF LIBERTY.

On Thursday afternoon some steyedores, while
at work unloading a cargo Of turpentine and ros-
in from the schooner Neptune's Bride, Capt. Thorn.
as E. Smith, lying in the Atlantic Basin, Brook
lyp. suddenly came on the dead body Of a negro,
about % years of age, which was lying on some
barrels of rosin near the after bulkhead. The
crew of Harbor Police boat No. 4, Coxswain
Hodge, was notified, and proceeded to examine it,
when the body was found in a recumbent posture,
the arms drawn up and clenched, and the body
much decomposed. The Coroner was immediately
notified, and had the body removed to the Dead
house. 1t was dressed in blue shir. and overalls,
and on one side was a kettle of soup under his
head was a small bundle of clothing, apj on the
other side was a bag of Indian meal. The schoon-
er left St. Mary's, Georgia, on the 23d of August.
Previous to leaving port the matches were Sattened
down, and were not removed until Thursday,
when the stevedores proceeded to unload her. The
poor negro had undoubtedly slowed himself away
in the hold of the schooner for the purpose of es-
Gaping from bondage. hoping, no doubt, that be
might remain undisturbed until after the vessel
got to sea, and then he would make his situation
known to the crew, who might, humanely relieve
him. Instead of this the matches being closely
battened down, a coffin was at once made for him
and he must have shortly died in intense agony
from suffocation. His hands were clenched 80
tightly that the flesh dropped from the palms, and
his knees were drawn up as if he had died in ex.
treme agony. Such is the volatile nature of the
spirits of turpentine. that it densely impreguate'
the air of the hold, and even when the hatohe
are opened to unload the vessel, it is impossibl,
for the stevedores to remain below for q longe
period than FIVE minutes at q time until the oil
in the hold shall become purified. The crew of tn
vessel state tha! they had not the slightest suspi
cion that there was any one 10 the hold, and knev
nothing Of it until the body of the negro wa
found on Thursday.-N ?. Tribune.

Abolitionists. IL lie not long since this beautiful
green roof above our heads was closed up-little
.lfeless, brown buds upon the brsnches-bu even
then, they were q prophecy of Spring. And wheb
the warm breeze came gently breathing upon them
and the summer rains and sunshine exerted their
powers upon them, they unfolded themselves into
this beautiful green banner we see above our
heads to-day. This is the winter of our discon-
tent" We are nothing but q bud to-day. l know
the spirit Of truth is in US, like the germ Of life in
the winter bud, but we are frozen into Forms and
Conventionalisms and inactivity like the frosts aud
snows and chills of winter. But like the bud, we
shall yet spring into life. This age cannot bear
one Garrison. Blu, rest assured ere slavery is abol-
ished, Garrisons must be, will be thicker than the
leaves upon the trees Of the forest.
