TRIMMING THE THEOLOGICAL
SAILS.

to be built for Henry Ward Beecher is IN
lack of timber or canvass, or whether the
old hulk has too much sail at present, we
know not, but from sermon preached just
after the Harper's Ferry en,eute, and in
reference to that affair, it is evident that
that Rev, gentleman is trimming his theo-
logical sails.
It may be that we are no judges in such
grave matters, but there are points in this
sermon which are not altogether to our
liking, and widely different from those
round which the Rev. Mr.. Beecher steered
in his Kansas voyage in 1856, when and
where white men, and the interests of white
men only, were Immediately involved
Then the Slave power received at his
hands different kind of treatment than
that now administered by him. Then
Sharpe's rifles were recommendation,
he enjoins implicit obedience in all things
on the part of slaves, and everybody else,
to their masters. Hands off the peculiar
institution" and tamper not with this spe-
eies of property in the South known as
negroes, We Northerners is now the word.
But let US quote Mr.. Beecher's precise
words He says "the masters are our
brethren
Now, if Mr. Beecher means that these
are our white brethren we must in some
spirit agree with him, but we must ask also
if those who are in bonds are not also our
brethren, and entitled to consideration
But says Mr.. Beecher, eff the slaves were
prepared" How, or when prepared 7
What better school than this same Har-
per's Ferry incident2 However deeply
we may deplore much that attended and
will attend that affair, still we must remem-
Der that such is incident to all great and
leading movements for mans deliverance
and advancement. But what better lesson
could the slaves have for future effort in
their own behalf at the proper time, and in
which and when all patriotic men will join.
What prepared our Revolutionary fathers
and mothers for the conflict The Boston
tea raid-the Bunker Hill raid-the har-
argues of Henry, Lee, Hamilton, and the
Adamses. We hear the cry of treason
now we heard it then. There were those
great in power who raised the cry of treas
on then against these master spirits, and
who would, could they have done SO, hung
them up higher, if any thing, than their
descendants, who now raise that same cry,
and will hang John Brown.
But the slave, it may be, is to be freed,
not in the usual Anglo-Saxon way, but by
the Christian religion. Indeed, this is
plainly limited by Mr.. Beecher. The ques-
ton might here arise, What is religion, or
of what worth are its teachings, if they
do not lead men to know, and always, when
possible, to obtain their GOd-given rights,
and repel all encroachments upon them
when obtainedI

OUR CLEVELAND LETTER,
CLEVELAND, O., Nov. ID. ]

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. ID, 1859
Mr.. EDITOR: The following appears in
the Cincinnati Times of Friday the 18th
inst:
"U. S. Dep. Marshal Mason arrested q
fugitive slave named Henry Seaton last
evening in Cleveland, and arrived in this
city with him this morning. He was at
once taken before U. S. Commissioner
Brown, and his owner, John Seaton, ESQ.,,
of Greenup Co., Ky, Master Commission
er in Chancery, and L. d. Ross, attorney
at-law, and R. w. Robb, merchant of the
above county, testified to his being a slave
and having escaped on 4th July last
Other testimony was profered, but the
Commissioner thought it unnecessary, as
the colored man admitted the truth of al :,
that had been testified against him. He
was delivered over to the custody of his
master and taken to Kentucky before it
was hardly known that fugitive slave
trial had been held.
1t would seem from the above notice
that the Deputy Marshal made the arrest
openly in the city of Cleveland. This is
wholly untrue, as the following notices
from the Cleveland papers will fully show
We copy the annexed account from the
Cleveland "Herald" of Nov. IL:
NEGRO ABDUCTED.
Yesterday, as the rumor runs, fugitive
slave was decoyed on to the Columbus even
ing train by white scamp named Hart
man, and before this both are in Kentucky.
Hartman was in the employ of Mr. Stevens
until about week since, when he was dis
charged. Yesterday he went to the On
nibus stables and asked the loan of two
halters for the purpose of going after run
away horses, at Oberlin, as he said. The
halters were refused, but the fellow either
got the negro drunk and thus kidnapped
him, or he enticed him away under pretence
of going to Oberlin for the horses. 1t is
said the kidnapper got $25 for his job.
LATER.-Further investigation discloses
the following facts in relation to this afro
ciogs case of kidnapping:
! About week ago the white fellow,
George Hartman, went into Stevens Di-
ming Room at the depot, and procured re-
freshments for himself and the negro. In
conversation with the walters the fact came
out that the negro was attempting to es-
cape to Canada One of the colored wait
ers offered to give him some money and
assistance, so that he could find means OF
shelter until able to get away. Hartman

THE MUSICAL FESTIVALS.

Owing to a severe storm on Monday
evening, 21st inst, the first of series of
six grand musical entertainments, an
nounced to be given by the Anglo African
Musical Union, at the Metropolitan Assem-
bly, Rooms, Prince street, was postponed
till the next (Tuesday) evening, when
good audience assembled and were highly
delighted in listening to the ever-welcome
voice of Madame Luca, who volunteered to
supply the place of lady who was de-
tanned at home on account of the severe
illness of near relative and to the splen-
did vocal and instrumental performances of
Prot. /. ). Boston, who nobly filled the
breach made by the unexplained delin-
quency OF several gentlemen vocalists, who
had engaged to be present.
The concert on Wednesday evening was
a grand affair-a complete success but
owing to our being obliged to go to press
unusually early this week, we must defer
particulars until our next issue.
On next Monday evening, the 28th inst,
the fifth concert will take place, and be
under the able direction of Prof. P. H.
Stevens, assisted by one or more ladies and
several gentlemen of musical renown. On
Tuesday evening, the 29th, as finale,
there will be given a grand promenade
concert, under the supervision of Prof.
Robt. Hamilton, assisted by other eminent
artists, and during short intermission
LIBERAL supply of refreshments will be pro-

HORACE GREELEY on MNING.--In one of his
letters TO the Tribune. Greeley expresses his
opinion of the permanency of the mines in this
State, and the certainty that heavy influx OF
population, and consequent reduction Of the price
of labor will more fully develop them. He
writes
Go where you will in the mining region, You
are seldom mile distant from past present
"diggings" Speaking generally, every ravine
gully, or watcr-course has been prosppcted ; eve
ry one at some point dug open to the g bed rock"
aud the everything earth or gravel run through
:" rocker" "t0m' or " sluiop," in the hope of
making it yield the shining dust. Many of those
water courses have been deeply and widely dug
up for miles in extent. If any are left entirely
undisturbcd, the presumption is strong that the
sub baccnt rock is so near the surface that gold
has had no chance to deposit itself thereon. In
some instances, basins or dcpressions in the rock
have been gradually filed up with earth proba-
bly, aurferous-through thousands of years. and
the gold which might otherwise have been str0Wn
down the valley for miles is here collected, so
that it would be sheer waste to mine through
ont those miles. But the more general opinion
seems to be that gold is diflused throughout the
soil of the entire mining region, especially upon
and just above the surface Of the bed rock, though
only in certain localities is it sufficiently abun.
dant to justify efforts to extract it. find no
seeming to cherish any apprehensions that Cali
iornia will cease to produce gold abundantly. at
least within the next quarter of century. On
the contrary, the current belief seems to he that
the influx of population will in time so reduce
the wages of labor, or the progress of invention
and discovery so increase its efficiency that ex-
tensive districts will ultimately be mined with
profit which now necessarily avoided, If the
amount of available water were doubled with a
considerable reduction Of price, the gold product
of California would thereupon be increased scve-
raj millions per annum. At present, mining en-
terprises of considerable promise and indefinite
magnitude remain in allegiance, simply because
The price of labor, the rate of interest and other
elements of the cost of mining are deemed too
high to justify their prosecution.

Why DON'T YOU LEARN A TRADE This ques-
tion was propounded, in our hearing, few days
since. to young man who had been for several
months unsuccessfully seeking mpoyment as a
clerk or salesman in some of our leading houses.
Complaining Of his i'll luck, one of his friends,
who knew he had mechanical talent, but doubt
ed whether he could make himself useful either
as clerk or salesman, put the iuterrogatory to
him which we have placed as the caption of this
article. The reply was, sit is not SO respectable
as mercantile occupation" Under this deusive
idea, our stores crowded with young men who
have no capacity for business, and who, because
of the fanoied rcspectability of doing nothing,
waste away their minority upon salaries which
cannot possibly liquidatc their expenditures.
Late, too late in life, they discover their error,
and before they reach the age of thirty, many of
them look with envy upon the thrifty mechanic,
whom, in the days of their boyhood, they were
accustomed to deride-Er.
