Cant. Garter, she boiag considered, probably, "a
ou;te equal ta her share of the work Of evangel-
izipc TINT Continent This determination was not
carried out without some difficulty; for when
tbe Captaia finally landed with his passengers, and
Sarah among them-being constrained to do so by
the refusal of clearance at the Custom-House--
he was surrounded by crowd, who, were they
not all missionaries, might be called mob the
captain handled bis revolver; Sarah burst into
tears, either from joy at returning to the land of
her birth, which she left about two hundred years
ago, or from sorrow at the prospect Of remaining
in it. or regret at parting with the gallant Capt
Carter who perhaps had commended himself to
her by his apparent freedom from anything like
prejudice against color. But the crowd was re-
gardless alike of sobs and revolvers; the girl was
compelled or allowed, whichever it was to remain
on shore; the captain was granted his clearance;
and in due time the Rebecca put to sea.
Events have shown that the fears of the Liberi-
ans were justified as to the general slave trading
proclivities of Capt. Carter, whether they were
right or not 10 suspectirg him of intending to make
slave of Sarah. Considering himself probably,
chosen instrument of carrying out the providental
scheme Of Outstanding Africa by taking back to
her chores a cargo of leaven, he chose to return
with another load Of the unfermcnted material TO
be worked up, in due time, by the evangelizing
process of plaDtation.life in Cuba into new mis-
sionares of Christianity and Civilization for their
native land. The Rebecca picked up return
cargo at some Of the barracoons along the coast,
the usual percentage Of which was safely
landed in Cuba. Virtue in this case was its
own reward; and the profit was so large on the
sale OF these 800 neOphytes that the captain could
afford-mOyed thereto also by some legal consider
ations-to burn his ship. And so ended the Re-
bccca
But what became of Capt. Carter' Did he
retire to the Delights of elegant privacy, and the
enjoyment of ample wealth, undisturbed by any
recolections Of the past, save perhaps, regret at
the absence of the "nut brown mai" of whom he
was robbed by the uUtimely and unreasonable
preiudces Of the people Ct Liberia! Here, I'M
happily, we must descend from the throne of
history to the foOt-stool of conjecture. few days
since a vessel called the Josephine was seized in
this port on charge of being a SLAYER, and she
row lies nj the At'anlic DOCK 10 tue nafuS OF tue
L. s. authorities, discharging cargo. The circum-
staDtial evidence against her is overwhelming
though it By no means follows that therefore she
will be condemned as a SLAYER But she is COM
manded by Capt. Carter Is it our friend of the
Rebecca from whom Sarah parted only lit year
ago on the beach of Liberia with heaving bosom,
ard eyes trimming with tears 7 Is it the memory of
that scene that has proved too strong to him, or the
missionary spirit that has overcome himl In
either case he-ifi ii he be--has been more jealous
than prudent, and has fallen into the weak and
hmsy meshes which the law has cOntrived ia the
hope of entapglirg some of these shipping dealers

give Indifferent bail in the sum OF 80 900 to appear
to answer. Thus misfortune pursucs him on both
continents. The loss of Sarah was, IN purely
pecuniary view of that relation, dead loss OF not
less than $4,000, for Sarah was fair.lookirg, and
only eighteen. What the end may be here we do
not yet know; but we may bid the Captain be of
good heart, for no man has ever yet suffered any
serious damage in this city, either in purse or
person, for completely in the saye-trade.
