More About Old Jack Marie.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Old Jack Marie has made
two pilgrimages to the home OF his wife's
master. but has not yet succeeded in get
ting her back, and it is said he is now try
inc TO raise what is needed more than his
horses and his wagon and his entire prop
erty in Kansas City and the neighboring
norton Of Missouri. fear he will not
succeed; but we have the consolation de-
rived from the verifcation of the fact that
"the blood of the martyr is the seed of the
church.
| hear this morning that early last even
ing 'likely young niger" set out from
here by the U. G. r. R., having arrived
the night before on good horse, which,
like himself, was the property of one of the
neighbors of the poor kidnapped woman.
Her cash value is about 5000, while this
man and horse, started off by her return,
would bring at auction at least S11OO; and
there are said to be several more boys" in
town who may be from the same region.
Until within few weeks the only bridge
across the Kansas River has been a toll
bridge; but few weeks ago, just In time
for the fugitives resulting from Rosannas
capture. it was made free, and consequent
ly helped to make them So. Mr.. Lane ju'
bilantly told me these things this morning,
whereupon his wife said to him, "You said
you would not help niger to run away,
or get away after he had rum" to which
he replied, "That was before Old Jacks
wife was Kidnapped and l did not help
this fellow, for he was gone before knew
of it."
There are many logs lying about in this
citq, and some of them are on fire most of
the time. On Saturday evening went
ont lust before bedtime to put some of these
chunks in good burning order, and was
startled by some animal springing up and
running of into the brush. | queried what
it could be, and concluded it must be cali
or colt that had come to get warm bed.
On reaching the fire, found there two
ears of corn, and picked them up to see
whether there was any indication of an an
imars having had them in his mouth; but
they were perfectly dry and clean, with
no kernels missing. When | went in, the
family had retired, and thought no more
of the matter till the next morning, when,
in passing the fire, saw shelled corn in
the ashes, which led to the suspicion that
the creature that ran from me the previous
evening as though had been beast of
prey. was one whom God has declared to
be nv brother. l have seen two of these
fugitives, who are readily distinguished by
their dress, it being in tatters from their
knees downward from travelling through
the brushy woods. There are some resi-
dents here who have due reverence for
the majesty and sanctity of the lower, or
lowest, law; but the fact that these un-
grateful wretches can remain day after day
in town inexperienced and unreported to
their kind and loving masters, proves that
majority of thedwellers hereare tinctured
with the 'ismsn Of these latter days, and
are SO unchristian as to be Christ-like, at
least in that they obey God rather than
man, If one would preserve his soul free
from the faint Of Abolitionism, let him read
SOuthside Adams, the New York Herald"
and the observer" until his heart is ut
