EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN: tell the following
story, not to assist in embitering the feelings OF
the citizens of Vermont against the rebels, but
to promote enthusiasm in the prosecution Of the
war, by new additional fact showing the state
of society which should be, and soon shall be,
suppanted by far better. Could we know all
of the evils that attend slavery, that institution
would find fewer advocates, and larger majority
Of our people would feel that its abolition as we'll
as the restoration of unity is one great and noble
cause committed by God to the loyal North

and on reaching the grove in front of his quar-.
tiers, found him with small crowd Of officers
and soldiers looking down over PROSTATE negro.
BY the lantern light, observed that piece IS
inches long of large wagon tire was riyeted
around the negro's right ankle, so tightly that
it could not turn, but must stand out towards the
right Two strong riyets OF three .fourths inch
iron bound the tire around the ankle, and at the
opposite end of the tire il was bent down so as
to form kind Of hook, the point of which must
drag on the ground when the negro walked,
This end was worn round and bright with long
contact with the ground.
Around the roned leg many filthy rags were
wound in an inextricabe tangle, and tucked ia
between the iron and the ankle. Another filthy
rag, about three feet long, hung from the right
end OF the iron with which, in walking, the wear.
er held up the further end of the iron to assist
progress. A man was hastily chipping open the
rveied tire with cold ohisel, and the whole
crowd were looking on impatien,y.
The overhanging trees, too, seemed to listen
with glad sympathy to the noise of the libera.
tors hammer, as, Ikea miniature symbol of our
President, it efectuay whacked away at the
yielding letter.
Expressions Of Indignation, impatitnce aud
sympathy alternately accompanied the work
while the wearer's eye flashed back the dim Ian.
tern light sufficiently to express the Intense Ca
gerness with which he watched the long-soueht
process of liberation. AT last, after more than
half an hour of persesering work, the fetter was
dlsengaged, and, as the negro stood up, his words
went to every heart and drew tears from some
