Mrs. Child's Letter.

Our readers caunot fail, we think, of be-
in. interested with Mrs. Chi!d's letter on
cur first page, in reply to Mrs. Mason, who
is The wife Of the pro-slavery senator from
Virginia. Mrs. Child handles the matter
with GOODNESS in striking contrast with
tina, of Mrs. Mason who calls down upon
the subject of her attack ";wo-fold damna-
ton" 10 begin with. The elimination part
Of Mrs. Mason's letter is of course charac-
teri,tic of the spirit of slavery which tyr
annizes over the bodies and souls of men,
On the other hand Mrs. Child's letter is
written in true patriotic and christian spirit,
Astounding with incontestable proof of slave
holding iniquities, and all from the south it.
self Some of her citations will be fimil-
lar to our readers. but it is good thing to
have our memories occasionally refreshed,
and especially is it good to bring the mat
ter before TIE rising generation.

notice:
A hook advocating the cause of treason,
murder and rebellion, is sold by the editor

satisfaction to--himself,- and oh, sin

to which a man must be sunk, to indulge in

Over One Hundred Dead
500 wOUNDED.

The full particulars and detailed accounts
of the terrible tragedy at Lawrence, Mass,
on Tuesday of last week, rival in horror
anything ever before known in this country.
Many ship has gone down upon our
coasts with their living freights, to the COM
paratively gentle waves. But the bosom
of the ocean is kind compared with this
wreck on land, which having first fettered
and tortured its victims, submitted them to
the agonies of burning alive. The tenn
pest is lenient because it is summary, but
this combination Of wreck and fire, whose
trophies are the charred bones of hun
dred human beings, equals almost anything
which could have BEEN devised by in
genious cruelty.
For most of the particulars given below
we are indebted 10 the Boston Journal. and
also 10 the atlas and Bee. Some of them
are of the most affecting and heart-rending
character. We trust another such disaster
may never fall our lot to record:
INCIDENTS.
Mary Ann Sugden, SIXTEEN years of age.
whose parents reside at No.l4 Charles street.
Lowell, says she was at work in the fifth
story of the Pemberton mill, and the first
intimation she had of the accident was see
ing the timbers falling above her and the
bricks dropping, and she became satisfied
the building was falling. She then went
down with the crash and became senseless.
She must have remained in this state for
about one hour. When she came 10 her
self, she found a large timber over her
which projected her, and by kicking a
chair to pieces, and the aid of two or three
other girls VITO were making their escape.
she managed to reach the outside, where
she was taken from the building by a Mr..
Leach. She Immediately ran 10 her board

her, changed her dress. and took the last
train Of ears for Lowell. She said size went

A HEROINE.


AT one point, when rope had been fix
ed to projecting timber, a call was made
so the crowd to take hold and pull with a
will, bun for few minutes, such was the
danger of the aitempt-for the beam in
falling might engulf all near it-for few
minutes, we say, the call was UNDECIDED.
Men shuddered and drew back-they would
risk much TO aid those below, but lie was
sweet and the danger great. At this eriii-
cal Junclure a woman rushed from among
the crowd, and daring the spectators to fol-
low, seized the rope and attempted TO
mount The pile of smoulderins ruins. to
clear away with her hands. The example
was enough. not word was said, but strong
hands at once drew the female back, and
then there was no lack of hands to the
rope, the beam was drawn out, and at least
two sufferers released from the opening
thus made.
One woman was found with her head
jamned between two heavy beams, and
pressed so that it was not thicker than the
thickness of hand. 1t was sickeninp
sight.
A young girl was released just before the
fames burst forth, and in answer. to cues
ton, stated that she was unhurt. Ii after
