From the Mobile Advertiser and RegisterJ
A Meeting Of 500 Freedmen Vote
to Return 10 Their Masters.

Upon the testimony of an old citizen
who was present, we have to report the
proceedings of a very extraordinary meet
ing of negroes, which took place on Sum
day, zeal this city, in the direction of
Dog River. Nine hundred of them as
scmbled to consider their condition, their
rights and duties under the new state of
existence upon which they have been so
suddenly launched. Our informant was
surprised at the hard, practical zen and
moderation of tone with which the spokes-
men of the meeting urged their views.
After long talk and careful delibera-
ton, this meeting resolved, by a vote of
seven hundred voices to two hundred,
that they had made a practical trial for
three years of the freedom which the
war has bequeathed to them-that its re-
~alities were far from being SO f~attering
as their imagination had painted it-7that
they had discovered that the prejudices
of color were by no means confined to the
people of the South, but on the contrary,
that it was stronger and more marked
against them in the strangers from the
North, than in the home people of the
South, among whom they had been
reared; that negroes, no more than white
men, could live without work, or be com
Portable without homes; that their North
ern d~eliverers from bondage had not, as
they expected and had been taught to
expect, undertaken to provide for their
happy existence in their new state of
freedom; and that their old masters had
ceased to take any interest in them or
have a care for them and finally, that
their "last state was worse than the
~irst,' and it was their deliberate conclu-
sion that their true happiness and we'll
being required them to return to the
homes which they had abandoned in a
moment of excitement, and go to work
again under their old masters. And SO
the resolutions were passed, and at last
accounts the wanderers were packing up
their little stock of movable goods, pre-
paratory to the execution of their sensible
purposes.

As IT rs.

JuvOnal. the celebrated Roman satirist. lived
and wrote his immortal saiircs during the reign OF
the bloody and despotie tyrant Domitian. The
present condition Of affairs in the United States as
it was to the condition 81 the Roman Empire when
he wrote it;
" Such, such the freedom that we wrctchcs know
And such the mercy cur superiors show
Forgiveness We, when injured, must implore,
Must pray when menaced, and when struck adore
And when the tyrant's wrath fatigu'd we find,
Must thank him that he leaves n tooth behind
Nor, en- iftreatcd thus, you 'seape at last.
Dismiss all fears and think all dangers past.
How blest our ancestors-how blest the times
That feared no tyrants, and that knew no crimes
When Rome beneath the honest tribunes' reign,
Saw one s,nall Jail her criminals contain
