SENTENCE FOR THE MURDER
OF A SLAVE.

The Petersburg (Na.) Express announces that
Charles Hudson, upwards of sixty years of age,
has been convicted of murder in the second degree,
he having killed his slave woman Jane. on the
Fourth OF July st. The Jury fixed his sentence
at eighteen years in the Penltentiary. The Ex-
press saysi-
The evidence in the case was that on the morn
ing Of the 4th Of July last, at 8 O'Clock. one of the
hottest days Of The past summer, Hudson stript
the woman naked as when she came into the
world, tied her to a persimmon tree, and whipped
her for three consecutive hours, with occasional
%intermission Of a few minutes, until he had worn
OUT to stumps hlty-two switches, and that the bark
on the body Of The tree was rubbed smooth and
greasy by the a~ttrition of the body Of the victim.
The ground around the tree for seven or eight
feet, though it had been freshly plowed, was trod,
den hard. One witness testified that he heard dis
tiuctly, ut the distance Of six hundred yards, both
the noise of the switch and the screams and en-
treaties Of tho woman. The poor creature was
buried the same afternoon only some ten inches
beneath the ground in a rough box, without any
shruud."
The following is an extract from the remarks of
Judge Gholson, on passing sentence -
Charles IIudson,-You have been regularly
tried for the murder Of your own slave. You have
been defended with great ability, and 0 jury Of
your own country have found you guilty Of muir
der 10 the second degree, and fixed the term of
your confinement in the ponitentiary at eighteen
years. In this verdict this court entirely concurs.

hours did you in one Of the hottest days Of sum

until, in the language Of counsel, the angel oil

The Douglass candidate for States Attorney in
Illinois, has avowed his intention to support Lin
coin. lie says:-

Their support of hun can have no other effect
than of carrying the election into the House Of
Representatives, which will either elect Breckin-
ridge Or, K the H. use shall fail to elect by the 4th
of March, it is probable the Senate will elect Joe
Lane, who becomes President Of the United States.
And Lane will only be a tool in the hands of the
disunionists to accomplish their one idea of break
ing up tho cOniederacy and erecting the slave
States, together with our western country, into q
separate and independent government"
We have a strong impression tina: in Illinois,
where Douglas and Lincoln are both well known,
voters can find but little choice between them SO
far as either principles or measures are concerned.
Success is the object In view and should Illinois
vote a week after all the other States, she would
give o tremendous majority fer the successful
candidate, whether it CHANGED to be Douglas or
Lincoln, caring not for the men, or the platforms
they are supposed to stand upon, or the priuci-
plea, which, by political fiction, they are pre-
sumed to represent, but looking only to success,
which means position, perQuisites, and peculn-
ton. And there are other States beside Illinois
which would do the same thing.

EMBRACE The OPPORTUNITY.

There have been urgent requests preferred from
time to time that anti slavery lecturers be sent to
the States west aud northwest Of Ohio, and
though a voice has occasionally been heard crying
in the wilderness, no such systematic action in
the way of State Conventions has before been pre-
sen!od as shat which is now offered. Here is an
OPPORTUNITY; let the nbolitionists improve it; let
them make the best possible use of Mr.. Pillsbury
and the agents who ccompan him; let them in
vest largely in anti-slavery conventions, and they
will themselves experience a veriication Of the
prediction, that by the works of faith mountains
of opposition she'll be removed.
The time allotted to the labor of the agents is
not 30 protracted as we could wish, but there is
therefore the more need that much effort should
be crowded into little time. II is to be hoped that
each abolitionist will constitute himself Chairman
of q Committee Of the Whole, and make it his
special business to see that nothing is left I'M
done that should be done. Each meeting will then
be a success, or if not, will deserve to be.

The CHIvALRY OF CHARLESTON "A late number
of the Charleston Courier has the following;
An examination on Friday morning was held ~
Mayor Macbeth of one Mrs. Catharine Bo~ttsford,
a female of rather prepossessing appearance, char,
with uttering and disseminating among our
slave population seditious sentiments. During the
investigation she admitted entertaining the Adolf.
ton sentiments attributed to her, and of being az
of John Brown. She denied, however,
any attempt to circulate her opinions. She was
required to give bail in the sum Of $500 for her
good behavior. Failing in this, she was commit
ted to Jail.
The accused states that she has resided in the
city about nine months, during which time she
has followed the occupation of a seamstress. She
also states that she had hoped to obtain the situa.
ton of a teacher. Officer ShOuboe, who arrested
her, had been watching her movements for some
time past. The case will probably undergo inves-
tigation at the January term Of the Court Of Gen.
eral Sessions.

The ABoLITIoNIsTs.-The indianapolis Sentinel
speaks Of VIM. Lloyd Garrison as a leading Repub-
lican. The Sentinel, doubtless knows that Mr..
Garrison and his patty are bitter opponents of Mr..
Lincoln. The same is true of the Gerrit Smith
aboIitionists. Is it not remarkable that while the
Republicans are in certain quarters constantly
being stigmatizod as aboiitionists, the real simon
pure abolitionists, of all sorts, are everywhere
fercely opposed to ~them!-Lndiana True Reputlt-
can.
Did the writer Of the above ever read the fable
of the war between the beasts and birds2 The
bat, from his conformation, was able to side with
either p~arty-being in body q mouse, with birds
wings. When success al peared to be with the
beasts, his wings were folded, and he was on the
ground with them; and when the scale turned, and
victory Inclined to the birds, he few in !he air
with the yictors. We should not wonder if the
combatants were as much puzzled BY the move
ments and professions of Mr.. Bat as are some III
the present day by the cOntrariety OF views ex-
pressed by the various member Of the Republican
party.

DEcEAsE OF AN AGED CoLoRED WoMAN.-0ld
Lizzy Gray died on the farm of D.. E.. T Minis,
Eige6eld, S. c., at tAe advanced age of l27 years.
Her physician, in an obituary notice which appears
in the E~dgefeld Advertiser, says that "sho was
imported from Africa during the Revolution, after
having borne four children 10 that country. Dur
ing the Revolution she was a prisoner on board q
British ship. She was educated in her youth un.

RsARev, Henry Ward Beecher is engaged in
criticising the doings of the late New York Epis-
copal Convention, on account of the refusal of that
body to pass anti-slave trade resolutions. He
made the topic the theme Of his discourse On Sun
day last. In the course of the sermon he pre-
nounced the course Of the Convention. in declining
to express an opinion on q crime of such magni-
tude as the traffic in human beings, d failure in
Christian duty"
Perhaps when this labor is completed Mr.. Bee
cher can find time to criticise the doings of the
American Missionary Board, which we suspect
has been guilty of quite as great "a failure in Chris
tian duty as has the Episcopal Convention.

Nor SURpRIsING.-A correspondent IF a New
York paper thus speaks of the meeting between
Seward and Lincoln on occasion of the visit of the
former to Illinois.
"Mr. Lincoln's manner to Mr.. Seward was mark
ed rather by Difference and respect, than cordiali-
ty, and nv. Seward himself seemed to avoid friend
ly adyances-a little unusual for him"
We should think it very likely that the remem-
berance of the fact by both gentlemen that Lincoln,
without special claims, obtained the nomination
which Stewards friends had been so long laboring
to obtain for the leading statesman in the Republi-
can party, would produce q little akward GOODNESS
between the two.

why is it that Just upon the eve Of any
meeting of the Republican parry in Logan,
the Sentinel comes out in a tissue of foul abuse
like the following:
'Hassaursck the German Tnfdel,' &c. He de-
MES the existence of a God,' &c, To teach the
bob-tailed Democrats how to vote" All this is
done to get up a prejudice, either to keep people
away, or to 80 excite their passions, as to render
them unable to reason, or perhaps to attract some
attention from the distinguished persons invited
here to address the meetings in either event he
is engaged in a small business"
In reply to the above question Of the Hooking
Valley Republican, we would suggest the possibil-
ity that the Sentinel has learned some of the slang
phrases with which Republicans so often meet the
arguments Of abolitionists, and is now measuring
unto them the measure they have given unto
others.

SHAMEFUL.

Perhaps the eager crowd who gather at various
points to obtain a glimpse of the expectant heir ol
the British throne, are not acquainted with the
fact, that his mother, Queen Victoria, recently
conferred The Order of Bath upon Edward Jordan,
a negro, now SIR Edward Jordan. 1t seems that
such a man can be knighted in Monarchieal Eng
land, while in Democratic America he is denied
the right Of citizenship, and not even permitted to
carry an old mail bag filled with newspapers.

A CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE.

The Philadelphia North American, a very res
pectable and very conservative journal, in an ar
ticle referring to the resolutions passed by the
Radical Abolition Convention of Syracuse, il
which the shortcomings Of Abraham Lincoln and
the Republican party were truthfully presented,
thus discourses -
"These declarations against Mr.. Lincoln for be-
ing conservative, and for no other reason, furnish
the best answer to all the inscriptions charges
which have been made against him as an ultra.
!; may be fairly assumed that he is about right
and occupies the .middlo ground Of moderation,
when thus assaulted by the disunionists at one ex-
IRENE, and their natural allies, the abolitionists,
at the other. No better evidence could be rurn-
ished, in our estimation, that his position is the
safe one, when he tails to square to the prejudlces
OF either class Of ultras. NJ. Clay and .Nr. Web-
ster ,ere both denounced ia like manner, and wiM
Just as tuie reason"

Fun AT HoME.-Don't be afraid Of a little
fun at home, good people Don't shut up
your houses, lest the sun should fade your
carpets and your hearts, lest hearty laugh
should shake down some Of the musty old
cobwebs there If you want to ruin your
sons, let them think that all mirth and social
enjoyment must be left on the threshold
when they come home at night. When once
q home is regarded as only q place to eat,
drink, and sleep in, the work is begun that
ends in gambling houses and reckless degra.
dation. Young people must have fun and
relaxation somewhere. If they do not find it
at their own hearthstones, it will be sought in
other and perhaps less profitable places.
Therefore, let the FIRE burn brightly at night,
and make the homenest delightful with all
those little arts that parents so perfectly un.
derstand. Don't repress the bouyant spirits Of
your children; half an hour Of merrment
round the lamp and freight of home blots out
the remembrance Of many care and annoy.

they can take with them into the world is the
unseen influence Of q bright little domestic
