African Slaves on English Soil.

The steamer Karnak, which arrived at
New York on the Sd, brought intelligence
of another evidence of the shameful ac-
tivity of tho slave trade. A SLAYER with
$50 Africans on board, portion wo-
men, and all in state of perfect nudity,
ran ashore on the coast of New Provi-
dence, and her human cargo was rescued
and conveyed to Nassau. The SLAYER had
mistaken the Karnak for war vessel, and
was lost in endeavoring to escape from her.
New Providence is one of the smaller Ba-
hama Islands, belongs to England, and its
citizens or fugitives to its shores are enti-
tied to the same privileges and protection
as in England ITSELF The slave trade is
held in great adherence in the Island, and
the military forces of New Providence are
to great extent made up of colored ma
tives.
The anti-slavery feeling of England can
now be practically tested, and to the sur
mise as to what will be done with the three
hundred and sixty Africans by chauce con
signed to British care, the Albany Journrl
remarks:
The British Government can dispose
of these Africans readily and economically,
and, in doing so, turn their captivity in
to a joyful deliverance.
Laborers are wanted in the Danish
West India Islands. 1t is but a step from
Nassau to St. Croix, where these People
can find employment, and pass through life
usefully and happy.
The Danish Authorities are asking our
Government to send the rescued Africans
now at Key West to St. Croix. A sinai
lar application, we presume, will be made
for those cast upon the Island of New Prov
idence. Success, in both cases, would be
blessing to the Africans, for the Island
Of st. Croix, in climate, and soil is Par
adise. Its Government is Paternal. Its
Planters as Masters, were generous-as
Employers, they are just. But the Island
needs laborers. The plantations are short
handed. Every rescued African that reach
es Danish West India Island will have
enduring cause of lhankfulness. And
those who aid them in getting there, will,
in the largest and truest sense' discharge
duty of philanthropy.

Germans, and who, to man, have here

there are now but three men in the whole
number who have not declared for Lincoln
This is one Of the significant signs of the
times, The Germans have become DISCUS

Democracy, and determined to cut loose
from the trammels of party, and vote the

which comes from the chimneys. Cleve-

all alive; all were running TO obtain sight of a
man who they had no doubt was dead. and had
come rs a kind of savior TO one who was devo-
ted to the gibbct. Some, like Thomas, would
not believe without tangible evidence. People
gathered around him with such eagerness, as to
render itimpossible it to pass through the crowd
to obtain a sight of him. Almost all his old
acquaintances he could recognize, and call them
by name. Several guns were discharged for
Joy; people ran to different parts of the town to
give notice. The prison door was unbolted, the
news proclaimed to Stephen that Colvin had
come! The welcome reception given it by the
joyful prisoner, need not be mentioned. The
chains on his arms were taken off. while those
interview with him who had come to bring sal
walton, they met, Colvin gazed upon the chains,
and asked, what is that for?"
Stephen answered, because they say l muir
dered you." Colvin replied, "You never hurt
me-" Stephens wife and friends, and people
from every part of the town were collected.
Joy and gladness sat on every eountenance.-
Many shouts of rejoicing We're heard, together
with the discharge of cannon. The news hav-
ing been spread that Colvin had come to Man.
chester, the next day there was large collec-
tion from the neighboring who met to behold
the returned exile. and to express their high
Satisfaction on the occasion. Scarcely ever was
seen more exultation. and tender sympathy, on
any occasion. Not less than fifty guns were
discharged, and at seasonable hour they re-
turned TO their places of abode. Mrs. Colvin
came 10 see her husband. but he took little no.
tice of her. intimating that she did not belong
to him. Some of his children came to see him,
Of whom he appeared somewhat fond. He won
dered how they came there, and said "he left
them in Jersey, and must take them back" He
fancied that he was the owner of the farm be-
longing to Polhamus. in Dover; talked much
about his property there. 1t was observed by
those who formerly knew him, that his mental
arrangement was much greater than when he
left Manchester. Many things that took place
years before he could recollect with accuracy,
and describe with degree ofpropriety. He dis
played a placid and harmless disposition. The
family with whom he resided in New Jersey,
being fond of him, wished him TO return, and
spend his days with them. of which he seemed
very desirous. Accordingly on the 29th of De-
cember, he set out from Mancesrer with Mr..
Whelply, for New York, who engaged to con-
vey him from thence to his former habitation in
New Jersey, having received remuneration from
the town of Manchester for that purpose.
Stephen was restored to his family, and Jesse
was liberated as soon as circumstances would
admit.

ScoLD1NG W1vEs.-At Young Mems
Debateing Society, somewhere out in Hi
nois, the question for discussion was,
(which is the greatest evil, a scolding wife
or smoking chimneya" After the ap-
pointed disputants had concluded the de
bate, spectator rose and begged the priv
ilege of making few remarks on the occa-
sion. Permission being granted, he deliv-
cred himself in this way:
"Mr. President-Fve been almost mad
listening to the debate of those youngsters.
They don't know anything about a scold-
ing wife! Wait until they have had one
upward of eight years, and been hammered
and hammered and jawed all the while
wait until they have been scolded because
the fire wouldn't burn, because the oven
was too hot, because the COW kicked over
the milk, because the sun shined, because
the hens didn't lay, because the butter
wouldn't come, because they are too soon
for dinner, because they are one minute too
late, because they slapped the young
ones, because they tore their trowsers, or
because they done anything, (whether they
could help it or not because they talk of
the evils of scolding wife; why, Mr..
President, I'd rather hear the clatter Of a
hammer and stones, and twenty tin pans,
and nine brass kettles, than the din of a
scolding wife. Yes stree, them's my sen
timents. To my mind, Mr.. President, a
smoking chimney is no more to be compar-
ed to scolding wife than little negro is
to dark night"

ISLANDER.

BY MRS. C. d. BEEGLE.
'Tis tale that's oft repeated,
But it never has grown cold,
And it ne 'er will fade nor wither
Should the world grow e'er so old,
For our hearts are very wicked,
And very sinful too,
And that's the reason why we find
This theme is ever new.
1t is kept and fed by tattlers,
Its chains are very frail;
1tspreads its sweeping pinions
In every passing gale.
1t flies Ger all creation,
1t scans the wide world o'er,
1t searcketh for victim
Then settles at the door.
Then with SANDER at the Threshold.
And slanderers around,
The very air with demons
Seems thickly to abound.
A thousand tongues are prating,
A thousand falsehoods told;
And to crush fellow being
Seems the wish of young and old.
OH slanderer, stop and ponder;
Take the matter to your heart;
Stop this mean-this petty gossip,
And act sisters part.
For you may yet be slandered,
There are none but who may know,
How bard it is to live beneath
The slanderer's cruel blow.
Go fake the Holy Bible,
Gods precepts there you'll find,
Study and learn those holy truths
Impress them on your mind,
And search, OIL search your inmost heart,
And if from sin It's free,
Then join the throng of slanderers
And cast stone at me.
