Deueniion, distinguished alike for his pedi.
gree and performances as a racer, to whom the
first premium was awarded by both the Gen.
trail and State Societies last fall, will make his
home at Ashland in Hanover county during
the coming season, commencing on the lst Of
February, and we commend him to the patrons
of blooded stock for the farther improvement
of their stables. DeUealion is young horse,
the present being his second season only and
of course it will be a year or two hence before
we shall be able to herald the fame Of any of
his colts; but the reputation of his illustrious
sire and grand-sire, and the pure lineage of
which he can boast by the side OF his dam, THE
Queen should furnish guaranty for the
production Of stock equal to any in the history
of racing. We refer the public to an adver-
tisement Of him in our paper of this day.

A CASE FOR THE TIMEs.-Ths morning q
case came under our observation which tends
to show up the impending crisis" A col
ored woman arrived at one of our hotels from
Cincinnati eli route for Lynchburg, Va. to re-
turn to slavery A short time slnte, she, in
connection with twenty -one Others was freed
by Mr.. Shackelford, of Amherst, Va. and by
the terms Of freedom given in his will, they
We're forced to remove to Cincinnati. They
removed there but have become DISCUS ted
with freedom. No one cares anything for
them, and il is with difficulty that they can
subsist. There is no sympathy Of the white
folks for them, and she represents the condi-
ton of the free negroes as horrible. She is de-
termined to 60 back to cole Virginny,'' where
she can be cared for. She has a great con-
tempt for the abolitiOnists, and is really an
Intelligent woman. She is confident that ten
OF the others will return to Virginia.--Wash-

DESCENT UPON GAMBLING HoUSEs.-The po-
lice of Cincinnati on Wednesday evening made
a descent upon a fashionable gambling house
on Baker street, in that city, and succeeded in
arresting the proprietors, numbe OF persons
identified as players, and conflsca;ing a large
lot of faro boxes, cloths, checks, cards and ta-
b!es. II. d. Wyatt, Truman Jones and Jacob
Selden are the alleged proprietors. On the
same evening a visit was paid to the gambling
house of r. Brockmaa, who was arrested,
with several others.

IHE WHITE SLAVES OF THE NORTH.-A
sewing girl. named Susan Lee. complains bit
terly through the columns of a New York
paper, of the injustice and fraud practiced by
the employers of the sewing girls The iser-
able pittance they earn weekly is lessened by
downright cheating and if girl complains,
she is told to find work somewhere else. She
thus describes the condition of her class:
We, as every one knows, by thousands, in
cold or heat, rain, snow or sleet, walk the
streets early in the morning TO our work
place. carrying, perhaps, in an old newspa-
per, what we call our dinner, often only
bread, or al best, a little cold meat with bread
and potatoes and work from eight in the
morning until five, and sometimes six O'Clock
In The evening (stopping only at noon TO eat
our cold lunch for these men who have made
and are making fortunes from our labors; and
who, besides stintingly paying us, talk to us as
though we were what many Of them seem to
be, brutes in human shape.
Ard here let me say that our slavery and
1ha: of tens of thousands North is far more
miserable than is that of the well fed, well
clothed and well cared for colored slaves of
the South, whose condition we hear so much
sympathy expressed for, even from the pull
pits, and no doubt, often, too, by the very men
who Cypress us, and even cheat Us out of our
hardearned shillings.

HUCKsTERING ABOLIsHED-The new code OF
laws reyives an ancient act of Assembly rela-
tive to huckstering. 1t makes it a heavy PEN
atty for any person to buy any kind of provi-
sion or marketing, within ten miles of Balti-
more, for, the purpose of re-selling it in the
markets or city; and any persons found selling
any produce in the markets not their own
manufacture or product of their land shall
be considered to have violated the law rela-
tive to purchasing. The fines are heavy, re-
coverable before justice of the peace, on in

Light Saipmsn.s.-The amount of coastwise
receipts in the Richmond Dock, for the present
month, has been exceedingly small, evidently
showing that our merchants are purchasing
as few goods as they possibly can, consistent
with their business interests. Many large
orders for dry goods, hardware, clothing, fur
niture, shoes. etc, given before the Harper's
Ferry raid. Were countermanded, and the citi-
zens of Virginia, almost to a man, seem in
cIined to use as few Northern goods as possi-
BILE, until the North shows its willingness TO
abide by the Constitution, and TO enforce, in
good faith, the provisions of the Fugitive
Slave Law. If the ladies follow up the exam :
pie they have set of dressing in home spun, or
direct importations, and OF discarding and
discounlenancing the thousands of manufac-
lures of New England, not only will the
Yankee outlaws be severely punished, but
home industry will be encouraged and a di-
rect trade es tablished that will add millions
to the wealth of Virginia and her sis ter South
ern States. The ladies Of the Revolution set
an example worthy Of imitation. Have the
women of the present day the patriotism to
follow it,

Idle Words often lead the Speaker of them
into trouble from which it is sometimes diili-
cult to escape. On Saturday last young man
named Edward Langley, whilst in conversa-
ton with party of acquantances. and as he
says for a mere joke remarked that he glored
in the late Harper's Ferry affair, and that he
was an Abolition;st. The words had scarcely
died away upon his lips before warrant was
Obtained for him. and very soon after he was
snugly Gagged In the second story of the mark
house, to answer to the law for the use Of his
language 1t may be, as the prisoner declares,
that he never entertained an Abolition senti-
ment-that all his relations and in teresis are
in the South, and that he only made the
marks in joking way, to see what one OF the
company present would reply but the fact
that he was born in the North, and that trail
tors to the South are prowling about endea-
vOring to produce mischief should have taught
him TO use other topics for jokes and fun. The
people of the South are sure to look with sus.
picion upon any man who expresses the slight
est sympathy for Brown and his followers,
and when Il comparative stranger is simple
enough to declare, in their midst, that he is an
Aboltionist, he is lucky indeed to escape 4
bath in the nearest horse pond and a home
made suit of tar and feathers. Langley will
be called before the Mayor this morning to
undergo an examination.
