Alleged Persecution Of Free Ncaroes In the
United etates-An Appeal 20 Christians
!ThrOughout the World. A
The following manifesto appears in the
English papers received by the last steamer;
an consequence of law passed by the
Legislature of Arkansas, compelling the free
colored people either TO leave the State OF TO
be enslayed, we number Of exiles, driven
out by this inhuman statute, who reached
Ohio on the Sd of January, 1860, feeling q
deep sense of the wrong done us, make this
appeal to the Christian world. Weappeal to
you, as children of common father, and be-
levers in crucifed Redeemer. To-day we
are exiles, driven from the homes OF our
childhood, the scenes of our youth, and the
burial places Of our friends. We are extles;
not that our hands have been stained with
guilt, or our lives accused of crime. Our
fault, in land of Bibles and Churches, of
baptisms and prayers, is, that in our veins
flows the blood of an outcast race-a race
Graded in wrong and nurtured In oppression.
In the very depth of winter we have left a
genial climate of sunny skies to be homeless
strangers in the regions Of the icy North.
"Some of the exiles have left children who
were very dear but to stay with them was
to involve ourselves in lifetime OF slavery.
Some left dear companions; they were en-

slavery or exile. We were weak our op-
pressors were strong; we were feeble, scat
tered, peeled they being powerful, placed
before us slavery or banishment. We chose
the latter. Poverty, trials, and all the cares
incident to life Of freedom are better, far
better than slavery. From this terrible in
Justice we appeal to the moral sentiment OF
the world. We turn TO the free North but
even here oppression cracks our steps. lndi
ana shuts her doors upon us. Illinois denies
us admission to her prairie homes. Oregon
refuses us an abiding place for the soles ofour
weary feet. And even Minnesota has our
exclusion under consideration. In Ohio we
found kind hearts; hospitality opened her
doors generous hands reached out a warm
and hearty welcome. For this, may the God
of the fatherless ever defend and bless them ]
And now, Christians, we appeal to you, as
heirs of the same heritage and children of
the same Father,.to protest against this gross
and inhuman outrage, which has been COM
mitted beneath the wing of the American
Eagle, and in the shadow of the American
Church. We ask you, by the love, the pity,
and the mercy in the religion of Jesus Christ,
that you will raise your voices and protest
against this sin. Editors of newspapers,
formers of public opinion, conductors of in
telligence and thought, we entreat you to in
sert this appeal in your papers, and unite
your voices against this outrage which dis
graces our land, and holds it up to shame be-
fore the nations of the earth"

Petroleum, or Rock OIL.

This spontaneous product of mother earth
seems to be more abundant than useful. The
New York Evening Post thus describes some
Of its qualities:
The smell of this oil is pungent, and no
process has yet been discovered by which it
can be removed. In some cases, indeed, the
odor is so powerful as to render il almost un-
endurable. The oil obtained in the neighbor-
hood of Enniskillen, Canada West, is of this
character. There is large tract of land in
that vicinity in various parts of which the
soil itself is saturated with the oil, The pro-
prietor has only to dig pits, when they fill
without further trouble, and continue to fill
rs the liquid is removed. He offers to fur
nish two thousand gallons per day if he can
find market. The difficulty in the way OF
this, however, is the extreme pungency OF
the article. Samples of the oil having been
consigned to house in this city, for reasons
patent, they got it off their hands as soon as
possible. The purchaser shipped barrel OF
it to Illinois, and in due time was advised by
his consignee that it could neither be sold
nor returned, that nobody would buy il and
no transportation line receive it, and that the
arrival Of the oil among them was furnishing
the town with its chief subject of excitement

Mr.. Cox has been expanding himself in
Congress in favor of national expansion.
He wanted to extend our protection over
Mexico. A Texan member reminded Mr..
Cox that we had better protect our own ter
ritory first. Mr.. Cox's ideas of expansion
have changed, radically. At the first of the
session he made speech against a portion
of his own State, and expressed wish that
the Reserve were cut off and annexed to
Canada, because of an unfortunate preju-
dice the Reserve people had against the
Democratic ticket. Mr.. Cox's idea of ma
tional expansion is like the Irishman's ex-
panding his blanket to make it cover him
self by cutting off from the head and SOW
ing on to the foot. He would cut off the
people of Northern Ohio and annex the
Greasers and mixed races of Mexico.

Stock Gambling.

The failure of E. B. Little & Co., of New
York, of which firm Jacob Little is a partner,
is one Of the first that has occurred among
the stockholders since time-contracts for the
sale of stocks have been recognized by law.
Mr.. Little agreed to deliver stocks at low
rates, on time. He contracted millions of
stock in this way when he had not dollar;
nor did he expect to have any. He expected
to settle, when the contract matured, by pay
ing or receiving the difference between the
contract and the market price; that is, Mr..
Little would bet that stocks would decline to
certain price by certain day, and the man
with whom he dealt bet that they would not.
These gambling debts are now enforced by
law in New York, whereat, until recently
they depended entirely on the honor of the
dealer. Mr.. Little has failed often and has
settled easily with his creditors but this is
the first occasion he has had where these
creditors could hold him legally.

journalism in New York.
The Evening Post saws:

"There are now, therefore, three new daily
papers projected. The one announced by
Hdrper's Weekly, a newspaper without the
news; the one announced as projected by the
proprietors of the Churcknidn, a religious
daily; and lastly, the new business paper, a
morning daily, Of which Mr.. ]. r. Spalding,
formerly of the Courier and Enquirer, is to be
the editor-in-chief and Mr.. Alexander Cum
minis, formerly one of the proprietors of the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, the publisher.
The last of these projected papers appears to
have more elements of success than either
is large, considerably more than one hundred
thousand dollars; their building is leased, on
the corner Of Beekman-street and Park-row,
and their presses in process of construction.
We learn that in a few days the proprietors
of this paper will ann ounce their plan and
the day of publication

Popular Sovereignty Triumphant.

The Mormon question will soon be restored
to the position it held before Mr.. Buchanan
Settled" it. Two of the Judges-Cradle-
baugh and Sinclair-have abandoned the Ter
ritory and are at Washington, whining, be-
cause legal process is not summary enough
in L Utah to suit their views. The third, Judge
Eckles, has resigned. Mr.. Hartnett, the Sec
retary, resigned on account of declining
health, and is since dead. The only Federal
officers on duty in Utah are Governor Cum
ming and Mr.. Dodson, the Marshal. The mil
itary have been ordered to the Mexican from
tier; and after the expenditure of millions
in a military expedition, which owed its
admission into Salt Lake City to volun-
teer peace ambassador, and which furnished
boundless plunder to army contractors, the
Mormons are abandoned to the regulation
of their own affairs, and the Mormon ques-
ton is in stdtu quo.
Congress is now agitating law to regu-
late the number of their wives. This is car
rying out the plank in the Republican plat
form against those twin relics of barbarian
ism, polygamy and slavery. Wesuppose the
treatment of the twins is to be same, but as
the Republicans, or at least the conservative
portion of them who are represented by the
Gazette, propose to regard slavery as sacred
where it is already established by local law,
we suppose, of course, that polygamy will
be treated to the same consideration. Thus,
according to the Republican platform, po-
lygamy will be, like its "twin relic" slavery,
quite unobjectionable where it is but very
Objectionable where it isn't. Such are the
mysterious ways of political principles"
Mr.. Douglas, who looks at every question
from the standpoint of the perfect right of
the people of every locality to regulate their
domestic institutions in their own way, sub
ject only to the Constitution of the United
States goes for abolishing the polygamous
"twin" by repeating the territorial law, and
turning the territory out to grass SO as to
make grass-widows of the superfuous wives
Such are the unaccountable sequences of the
doctrine of popular sovereignty, pure and
! simple, or the right of the people of Terri
tory, 'the same as State" % to regulate
their domestic institutions in their own way!

Extraordinary Criminal Suit-R emarkabIe
Instance of Confusion of Personal Iden-
tity.
A correspondent of the Bristol (Tenn.)
News, writing from Elizabethton, KY, gives
the following particulars in regard to case
tried at the late term of the Circuit Court:
In the month of June, 1s45 a negro-trader
came to the town of Elizabethton and pur-
chased a negro girl of one Samuel b. Patter-
son. The trader called himself John Thomas,
of Bowling Green, KY. 1t appeared that he
paid Patterson for his slave five one hundred
dollar bills, purporting to be money issued by
the Southwestern Railroad and Banking
Company, Charleston, S. G. The money was
soon found out to be fraudulent and worth
less, but Mr.. Thomas had left Immediately
with the slave, and was not heard of for
ten years.
In 1855 Mr.. Patterson thought he had got
on the trail of Thomas, and in Claiborne
County, Tenn, he found man so fully an
swering the description of the trader that he
had him arrested and brought to trial. The
name of the accused is George Ii. Cheek, and
never had been in Carter County. On the
trial several witnesses of intelligence and re-
spectability swore that George H. Cheek, of
1860, and John Thomas, of l845, were one and
the same. The defendant provedon the trial.
by number of warrants, judgments and exc
cutions that he was in Claiborne County,
Tenn, ninety-fve miles distant from Eliza
bethton the very day it was alleged he had
boughtthe slave. Anauthenticatedt transcript
from Claiborne County Court shows that he
was acting Justice of the Peace forthat county
in l845, and these olddocuments were brought
up to show that he was either possessed of
ubiquity, or could not have been in Carter
County at the time John Thomas bought the
slave. But the jury returned verdict of
guilty, and sentenced him to three years in
the penitentiary of the State.

A HOUSE BLOWN TO PIECES BY A GAS Ex-
rife explosion of gas took place in that city
the other evening, in a house ON Main-street,
which startled the whole of that part of the
town. A Mr.. Lohouse and wife had been alb
sent during the day, and on returning in the
evening found their rooms filled with gas.
They very thoughtlessly struck match,
when the gas instantly exploded, tearing the
house in pieces and very severely injuring

DISCUSSIONS upon points of religious faith
by Christian bodies are always important, in
volving as they do matters of so much mo-
ment to the here and the hereafter. A con-
ference in Maryland is having great trouble
over the question, whether in giving out a
hymn by the process of '1ining," it is right
for the minister to read but two lines at e
time or the whole stanza at once. Whether
the church will divide upon the question, as
German organization did once upon dis
pute whether it was more evangelical To
fasten ones coat with buttons in front or with
hooks and eyes, is yet undetermined

BODY OF BURIED WOMAN FOUND PERFECT
AFTER SIXTY YEARs.-0n Saturday afternoon,
says the Baltimore Clipper, the body of a
woman was exhumed, and with the exception
of the head, arms and portion of the breast,
was as perfect as in ife. On the tombstone
at the head Of the grave could be traced, 'died
1875, aged 81 years and % days" The body
was of waxy substance, and light brown
color. Bylong immersion in water or spirits,
or by burial in moist places under peculiar
circumstance, the muscular fibres are con-
verted into hard fatty substance, which
gives TO the body natural appearance. The
body above referred to, when first exhumed,
was from the breast to the thighs as hard as
stone, but began crumbling when exposed to
the air.
Such instances are not uncommon, and are
well understood by medical men.

Tha yv,r win Mexico.


The prompt and vigorous action OF our
naval officers at Vera Cruz seems to have been
based on the idea that our government was
in fun alliance, offensive and defensive, with
the Juarez party in Mexico. The vessels
captured by our navy were chartered by Mir
anon at Havana, to assist in the reduction Of
Vera Cruz, against which he was marching
with force Of five thousand men. Juarez
declared this naval expedition piratical. He
undoubtedly had right to declare it what he
pleased, but this did not make it piratical to us.
An excuse is offered that the Spanish YES
sci fred the first shot but as IL is shown that
the United States forces were in readiness to
aid Jaurez in defending Vera Cruz against
Mramon, and that the United States vessels
and the IndidRold, then under charter by
Jaurez, acted in concert in overhauling the
Spanish vessel, the IndidnoId conveying q
detachment of our men, it is not probable
that this point was regarded as important, or
at all affected the result. One of our vessels
fired a shot to bring to the Spanish vessel, and
one of them returned the fire, one shot hav-
ing, so far as related, done no more damage
than the other; but upon this the United
States vessels began the battle in earnest,
and captured the Others with but little resist
ance.
Il is difficult TO see what cause our navy
had for interfering, but probably II was set
tied by the Presidents instructions that we
were to take part with Juarez against any at
tack. Miramon certainly had perfect right
to bring vessels from Havana to his aid. But
it seems by other circumstances that the at
tack on the vessels was only on incident of a
course previously resolved on; for it is an
nounced that our naval officers were in
structed to land troops for the defense of Vera
Cruz against Miramon, unless he would guar
antee the safety of all property in Vera Cruz
belonging to United States citizens.
This is novel requisition of a party at
war. 1t has not been usual to require it, and
our Government in its bombardment of
Greytown quite neglected to guarantee the
safety of the property Of citizens of other
countries, as well as refused to pay for any of it
afterward. It is not difficult to believe that
this unusual, unwarranted and impracticable
demand was to make a pretext for our ves-
sells to enter into this war. The citizens of
Vera Cruz have been busy for some time
removing their property beyond the city, in
anticipation of attack, and it hardly seems
reasonable that foreign residents should be
placed on any better footing than citizens
themselves.
War already exists, and it will be said, as
before "by the act of Mexico" But the war
is solely the Presidents, and it is yet to be
seen whether Congress will insist on its pre-
rogative-the war-making power, or will
submissively yield it, as before. In that case
it will hardly be necessary hereafter to refer
to Congress as having the sole power to
declare war.
