A MUSICAL PRoDIGY.-The Charleston
Courier" publishes an account of a remark
abln colored boy living in Savannah, blind
and in features resembling an idiot His
only wonderful gift is the power of musical
composition and execution, and this is en-
tirely natural. He plays upon the piano
forte, and has only to hear piece once to
reproduce it, not only accurately, but
with the same shades of expression which
the performer gave to it. His touch is
said to be wonderfully delicate, while, at
the same time, it has great force. That the
boys talent is not alone development of
the frculty of memory and the power Of
imitation, is shown by his improvisations,
which the paper alluded to commends as
of exceeding beauty. The countenance of
the child, when he is not under the infu-
ence of music, is said to be almost repul-
sive, vacant, and ugly; but the moment
his fingers call the sound from his instru-
ment, his face lights up with inspiration,
and becomes absolutely beautiful.

Now, my dear friends, you have wisely
chosen freedom rather than slavery. Do
not lament your banishment. Do notre-
ly on the religious sentiment of the peo-
pie of the United States to do you JUS
tice. 1t will not procure you either free
dom or enfranchizement. Rely on your
selves. Summon all your energies in
your own defence, and the God of nature
will assist you Cultivate love of JUS
tice, honor and truth; drink deep at the
fountain of your own sad experience and
of the progressive wisdom that surrounds
you, and you will have imbibed purer
philosophy from the instruction of nature
than you can obtain from the dissertations
of scientific and learned divines, who sup
port and defend the enslavement of your
race.
Now, my dear friends, in conclusion let
me say that | am personally a stranger to
you, yet am united to you by the consan-
quinity of race, suffering, and common
destiny. Let me again implore you to be
content with your lot. Encourage your
friends and acquaintance to initiate your
noble example. Leave Egypt behind and
press forward to Canaan. Tell your friends
to gather up all the products of their toll,
their children, and all their relatives, with
their accumulated wealth, and dedicate it
as trophy on the altar of freedoms God,
in land where slavery is not recognized,
and where the humblest being is common
heir to the rights, privileges and immuni-
ties of civil government. wM. wHIPPER.

A PLANTER KILLED AND BURNED BY HIS
SLAvEs.-On the 30th ult., says the Rich
mond dispatch" DIR. William Croxton, a
highly intelligent citizen of Essex county,
Va, had occasion to correct servant wo-
man for some offence, but did so in gen.
tie and mild manner. This fact enraged a
negro man, who vowed to have revenge,
but at the time gave his master no intima-
ton of his intention. On the 1st inst,
while one of the servants was engaged in
grinding cutting knife, DIR. Croxton
walked to where he was, and whilst look
ing on, without suspecting danger, another
servant stepped behind him, gave him a
violent blow upon the back of the head,
which felled him to the ground, and then
dispatched him. The two then dragged
him behind the barn, and, kindling fire,
placed his body on it and burned it. They
next cut the skirts of the saddle upon his
riding horse, and then turned the horse
loose, expecting to create the impression
that he had been attacked on the road and
murdered. When the Doctor was missed
his friends instituted search for him, and
in the pile of ashes near the barn discover
ed two or three of his fingers and portion
of one of his feet The murder has caus-
ed great exitement in the neighborhood in
which it was committed.

The UNDERGROUND RALRoAD.-The AL
bany correspondent of the n Y Tribune
writes as follows, under date of the Sd
inst: "The Underground Railroad, under
the energetic management of Superintend.
ent Stephen Myers, is doing prosperous
business. Twenty-six passengers, coming
over the main road and its various branch
es, have passed through here during the
the present month. A couple of passen-
gers who arrived to day paid visit to the
Legislature, but soon becoming disguised
at its disorderly proceedings, left for the
North. 1t would astonish some portions
of the public amazingly to know the class
of people who contribute regularly to the
funds of the "Underground"-such as
staunch Democrats, who swear by Mr.. Bu-
chanan, the Fugitive Slave law, and the
Dred Scott dicta; but then when they
hand over their contributions to Stephen
they tell him to nse it in sending slaves
back to their kind masters, where they are
sure they are much better off than in the
frozen regions of the North"

One OF SENATOR HUNrER's SLAVES Run
ORA correspondent of the Baltimore
"Sun" writes from Berryville, Clarke coun-
ty, Va, as follows: "a report reached
here the other day from the most reliable
source. that slave Ia man) belonging to
r. M. L. Hunter, Senator from Virginia,
was kidnapped and conveyed in the un-
derground railroad to Canada Strange as
it may seem, the kidnapper was North
ern lady, member of distinguished fam
lily there. The name of the lady and the
whole story will be made public in few
days. An old college mate of Mr.. Hun
ter, resident of this place, wrote him yes
terday the full particulars of the extraor-

THE REV. ROBERT GORDON.

We dropped in at ST. Philips Church
last Sunday morning and listened to a dis
course from the Rev Robert Gordon, of
the British West Indies, late of Canada,
and we shall ever remember the occasion
as among the best bits of good fortune in
our life Mr. G. is, we believe, graduate
of Oxford University, and surely that re-
nowned institution suffers nothing from
the fact, for he is truly an intellectual and
literary star of the first magnitude.
We have heard most, if not all, the most
eminent divines and eloquent speakers in
the Episcopal Church, and are proud in in
stituting a comparison to affirm that Mr.
Gordon is no mean competitor with the
very best of them either in eloquence,
learning or ability. He has the finish and
elegance of Oxford, coupled with an almost
imperceptible remnant of the West India
dialect, which SO far from being unpleasant,
is really musical: In rapidity of utterance,
and eloquence of manner, he much resems
bles the celebrated DR.. Tying; while in
method of thought and structure of his
sentences he presents all the maturity of
the British writers, which we judge are his
models.
Mr.. G. is on his way to the West Indies,
but how long he will remain there is un-
certain. If he should visit us again we
earnestly hope our people will let no op-
portunity pass without availing themselves
of the benefits of his talents and instruc-
ton; and at the same time we would es-
pecially commend him to the Episcopal
clergy of this city, particularly those who
believe in the natural inferiority of the
black man. Let them invite him into theil
pulpits and give him hearing, and we
shall be we'll satisfied with the results.

Jo-CosE-This eminent thinker, recent
ly of the Saturday Press" has applied at
this office for employment. He describes
his treatment by the editors of that peri
odical, as having been frightfully barba-
rous. He was forced to travel with the
late Anaconda, and submit weekly to its
embraces in order that ideas of the proper
stripe might be squeezed out of him. The
death of the Anaconda has thrown him out
of employment He maintains by the
scriptural curse, "by the sweat of thy brow
shalt thou earn thy bread" was originally
inflicted on white people only, and this
people have ever since sweated and tugged
for their bread; while, on the other hand,

ing in the tropical garden of Eden, with

has ever enjoyed life without labor, except
in the case where he has suffered himself
to be entangled with the white man and

the great Toussaint, in inviting the plan
ters back to Hayti, and giving them estates
which properly belonged to the black freed
men, simply proved himself to have been
