FORMER CITIZEN OF ROCHESTER NEARLY
FROZEN ON PRAIRIE.-We regret to learn that
our former towusman, Sylvester II. Parkard, ir.,
who resides at Sioux Rapids, in the northwest
part OF Iowa, while on his way to Dubuque, by
the way of Fort Dodge, across the prairie. be-
came so badly frozen that his life was in great
danger. His suiterugs must have been terri

time to save his life. The few particulars we
have learned are as follows: He was traveig
on horseback, about the first of the present
month, and in crossing deep slough which was
frozen over, his horse broke through and be-
came so disabled that he could not proceed
The animal was therefore abandoned, and prob
ably persisted. Mr.. Parkard, in getting across
the slough, broke through and became thor
oughly wet 1t was just at night and he was
obliged to proceed in the cold, with very little
hope OF reaching habitation, and in most
uncomfortable plight Darkness coming on he
became lost, and wandered over the prairie un-
til morning. His efforts to extricate himself
continued through the next day and night, with.
out avail, and he finally took refuge in de-
serted cabin, in a state of exhaustion, and al
most frozen. Here he was found IN an entirely
helpless state, and his feet SO badly frozen that
he could not walk. He was conveyed TO Fort
Dodge, where he now is. His wandernrs dur-
ing thirty six hours on the prairie were confined
to circuit OF twenty miles, and he had travel

HE PENALTIES FOR SLAVE TRApING.-Tbe
penalties TO whichs the importers, sellers and
purchasers of the newly stolen slaves, lately
brought into Georgia. are liable under United
States law-the law which the government or
gans decide in advance before trial, cannot be
eniorced-are justly severe. For importing the
negroes, or aiding or abettiug in it, the law inn
poses fine Of not more than SIC, 900 nor less
than $1,000 for each negro, and Imprisonment
not more than seven nor less than three wears.
Whoever purchases sells one of these slaves
after they are introduced is subject to q fine Of
1000 or Imprisonment till it is paid. Aud il
Is provided that in all cases under this act the
burden of proof shall be upon the defendant. he
must show that he did not import, buy or sell
negroes, as charged, against the provisions of
this act. Nothing can be easier, ii the govern.
meht has any purpose to execute the laws, than
to track the raw recruits from Africa to the
various plantations where they are distributed,
and to commence suits according to the law. II
will then be seen whether the laws against the
slave trade can be enforced or not. If not.
the responsibility will rest where it belongs. If
no attempt is made, the guilt and disgrace of
the whole thing justly rests upon the Admins
tration.

1t lisa fact apparent to everybody that pub
lie opinion in the planting and sugar growing
States lie decidedly in favor of Q revival of the
slave trade. We have reason to believe tina,
several csrgoes of Africans, in violation Of our
laws which declare the traffic piracy, have been
landed upon our shores and sold in Southern
markets. 1t 10 very probable that combinatio
and companies have been formed in Southern
cities, having for their object the clandestine
importation and distribution of African barba-
rians among Southern planters.
What is TO be the result of all this! Are our
friends in the South determined to take another
step backwards? Are ignorance and fanaticism.
avarice and stupidity to rule henceforward?-
For the last four years the progress has been in
this direction. The campaign was opened BY
the repeal OF the prohibition against slavery
north OF SO 80 min, followed by the bred
Scott decision, nationalizing slavery and legal
king it in all the territories. Congressional
legislation is. ~ We have been notified, to be
INVOKED for its protection in the territories, and
demanded, the penalty of a refusal being the
raw head and bloody bones of dissolution of the
Union. Having thus opened the way for the
extension of slavery, the moral sense of the
country is outraged and the slave States and
territories to be barbarzed by the illegal and
clsndestine traffic in African negroes.
This is not tho last step in the retrograde
movement. Having already in South Carolina
and other slave States preponderance ofbIacks,
with white population of the most ignorant,
debased, and worthless sort, large addition
from the naked hordes of Africa is certain to
produce results Of the most disastrous charac-
ter, to be regretted and deprecated by every
frier of humanity. Slavery propagandsts, like
Hsman, have erected very high gallows, for
their enemies, from which, if permitted to fol-
low out to the full length the plans laid down
In their programme, they are very certain 70
swing in the end.
