AN OUTRAGEOUS CONSPIRACY.
ATTEMPT TO EssLAvE A FAMILY OF FREE NEGRO

ATTEMPT TO ENsLAvE A FAMILY OF FREE NEGROES.
Las, evening Lieut.. Kirby and officers TilIer aud
Priest succeeded in ~fefreting out a very outrageous
conspiracy that hand been concoc,sd against the
freedom Of a family of free negroes. They arrest
ed and lodged iu Jail the prime movers in the
shameless affair.
1t appears that a number Of years ago, a negro
man and his wife were emancipated by the will Of
their master. They then set to work, and BY lru-
gality and industry succeeded 10 accommodating q
sufficient sum to purchase their son. The son af.
forwards married a slave, the property of Sam. X.
Page. She was also purchased by the parents
Bills of sale were taken and held by the father,
hut at the same time he granted his son aud
dsughter-in-law free papers.
On Sunday the old negro died, very suddeol,,
and without any known predisposing cause. lie
was buried yesterday. Immediately a tailor nam
cd McGrath, living on the same square-Grsen
streer. between East and FlOyd-took the ini,ia-
tive steps towards eusliving the negroes. lie was
aware Of the old man having tho bill Of sale, bu,
did not know that be bad granted the children free
papers. McGrath snd another person. whose
name will appear on an examination of the case,
applied to q lawyer named Clesry. They told him
that they had . 6ne chance for . 6ne speculation.
and promised him four hundred dollars for bis
shsrs Of the illsotteu booty. ~ al,

MRS. CHILD OFFERING HER SERVICES
TO NURSE JOHN BROWN.

We learn from Boston that Lydia Maria Child,
has written to Gov. Wise, asking permission to 60
to John Browns coll to nurse him in his illness
and to soothe his last hours by her womanly SYM
pathy. The letter is thus alluded to by q cores
pendent of The Herald at Richmond
"a letter was received from q Boston lady, ask
ing the Governors permission to 90 to Charles
town to nurse old Brown, and pledged her honor,
while she was q strong abolitionist. that he would
take no improper advantage of the privilege. The
letter contained 6 note addressed to Brown him
self, which she requested the Governor to forward
to him after he had read il. Both were unques-
tionably the best productions l have ever seen
from the pen Of a woman and. woman like they
breathcd all the sentiments Of sympathy, kind
ness and affection that martyrdom in a boiler
cause might be supposed to elicit. She avowed
herself frankly a thorough Abolitionist, while dis
approving the means resorted 20 by Brown to ac-
complish the end sought for. One thing was ap-
parent from these predictions, and that was that
she was truly sincere in her opinions ; and the
Governor could not help expressing regret that so
accom- plished a person should suffer under such
an illusion as seemed to have possessed her. He
will grant her permission. and guarantee her per-
feet immunity from any violence or i~ndignity in
the State. But as to the privilege OF acting nurse
to Brown, that is a matter in the discretion of his
physician at Charlestown, and no may admit or
exclude her st will. The presumption is, howcy-
er, that she will have entire liberty to exercise
her humane Offices in behalf of that brave yeter-
an as she designated old Brown"

which naturally captivates the minds Of fresmen.
who are thus led to approve Of those very attempts
which disgrace it's cause and retsrd its realisation.
Bot we see more clearly the evils Of rebellion
nearer home, and we are enabled tho more easily
to detect the torhistry by which they may be made
to appear lawful. The goood sense of all con-
dsmns Captain Brown; and did not anti-Catbolic
sod snti-regal pref ddice intervene, it would lead oil
eqaaiIy to condemn the pretended patriots who are
nov b~lighting the prospects Of the most beautiful
land in Europe. In a word, gentlemen VIII, are SO

and to the document signed his name with the X
mark. Having progressed thus far they proceed
ed to take possession Of the negroes, and were as
.onished to find free papers staring them 10 the
lace Their %rascality was thus easily exposed
The lawyer C!oary and McGrath were both lodged
in jail and will be examined to-day. We under
stand that tho lawyer intends to turn states
evidence. There will be some curious develop
ments in this matter. 1t is surmised by many that
foul means were used to produce the old nesro's
death, from its grea. suddenness.

Tuesday dealing death and destruction TO

particulars will be given tomorrow:
The vicinity Of Iowa city was yesterday
the scene Of . tragedy. which has it paral-
lsls only in some Of those periodical vista
taoas Of storm and tempest, which have
scattered death and havoc in many portions
Of the west. during the past two years.
During the passage of terrific thunder

seven o'clock last evening, . tornado vas
generated which carried desolation in it,

earth was near the residence of Eastin
Morris. . mile or 20 below the city, where
bis stables and stacks we're utterly destroy
ed. 1t then struck the house Of Mr.. Foster,
farther down the river, unroofed it and the
barn. and laid waste much Of handsome
farm. Thence it crossed the river, passing
through the Phillip Clark farm, destroying
fences. timber. and everything movable.
even tearing up the very clods in its ter
rife passage. until, about three miles south
east OF the city. it sucked into its vortex

it to fragments, and instantly killing Mr.. NJ.
his son. and . grand-child. and breaking
the thigh bone Of his wife.
1t next demolished the house and barn of
Jesse Berry of this city. severely ipjuring
the tenants Of the former. Mr.. B., who was
in the barn, and hired man named Patten
were killed by the falling timbsrs, and his
son severely fractured and bruised, and
barely escaped with his life.
Its next destruction was that of James
Grahan's house, near the "Seven Mile
House," on the Muscatine Road. where.
four persons were crippled in frightful
manner. Beyond this, or westward, we
have heard no intelligence a. yet. but
hourly look for fresh tidings of disaster. to
Increase the general gloom which pervades
his community; Of which the loss Of Nj.
Berry as an old citizen, of high reepecta-

The stage agent reports picking up man
named Blue, reduced to Q skeleton from
starvation. He started with two brothers.
When one died, the remaining two ate his
body. Another died, and he in turn was
nearly devoured by the surviving bro
ther.
A man named Grubbe had reached the
mines in starving condition, and express
ed the opinion that his party numbering 9
had all perished.
Many graves are reported along the
route, and much property had been de-
stroyed and abandoned on the road. The

arrivals.
About 500 returned emigrants reached
st. Joseph on Saturday, all of when con-
