CALLING TIE Roll OF THEIR SLAVES.
I'm Montgomery ut tho outset Of the
rebellion the sauguinc and cxultaut rebel
leaders confidently predicted TINT Gro
many moons waued they would call the
roll Of their slaves on the soil of the free
states. The war progressed; the rebels
at last were conquered, and when Lee
surrendered to the victorious Grant, it
would have required more than Del:
pbiau oracle to convince the people Of
tho North that tho secessionists and
slavc.drivcrs would ever be able to carry
out their throat Of 1861. But they arc
going to do it, strange os it may seem;
On tho 14th Of August in the shadow Of
In dependence Hall, Philadelphia, they
will call tho roll Of tboir northern slaves,
and the serfs will oil bo there to answer
to thoir names. Truly, the most extra
ordinary prophecies arc ofton verified in
tho most unexpected, manner. %7i.l,s
