"A :Mosr REMARKABLE CASA ,BoDY WHICH
REs BEEN lx THE VAULT FOR \ Month STILL
WARM.--The following is undoubtedly one of the
most remarkable cases that We have heard OF,
and is creating considerable excitement among
parties who have witnessed what We are about to
relate. On the s5th Of February last, Michael
King, about II years of age, was killed at Oak
land, by being struck on the head with stake
which mas drawn from the ground by an unraly
sborse Two days after the fatal accident, and
when tile body was about to be buried, the rela-
tires of King thought that they noticed evident
signs Of life; and the body was removed to the
-hOpse, where it vas kept for several days. re-
port got into circulation at the time to the effect
that the body had come to life After keeping
the body for several days, it was removed to the
lower graveyard and dpiaeed in a.yaplt. where it
now is, and it has been yisited by hundreds Of
our citizens The BODY retains its natural ap.
pearance, is timber and warm, after being dead
and in the graveyard one month. We have
heard no reason assigned for this strange phe-
nomcnon. Louisville Democrat, 9Th.

Qur Situation.

The great changes which hare taken place in
people
only act promptly, but consider we'll what they
do. The year on which thespeople Of the South
=haye entered is one altogether Of experiment. 1t
is the experiment Of free labour With their for
rner slates. Many have forebodings Of III as to
the results which. Hfll Cow from the, trial.. be.
cause they do not believe that the freedman will
work as we'll and as faithfully as he formerly did.
It is supposed by many, that no inducements Of
pay, or reward for his labour, will stimulate him
to work so as 10 overcome his natural desire to
avoid labour. IE4his supposition should prove
to be true then the experiment Of free labour
with the negro at the South is at an end. =. 30
The question as to this kind of labour, brings
itself to this point that the negro mast Vork or
his place viii be supplied by labourers from a.
broad; the poor people Of Europe will immigrate
to the South, and cultivate the lands of the
South ;-and then it may I've difficult matter for
the negro to obtain employment necessary for
his support and maintenance. -. -. ....-s..
.. Though this presents gloomy prospect for
the freedman, it is in his power to avert any of
the calamities that may befall him in this view OF
the case, if he viii be industrious and economical
He can control the labour of the country i'd the
cultivation of the soil. What is required Of him
is that he will be honest and Industrious, and be
willing to work. If he does this, he will always
find employment and enough labour to Which he
can turn his hands, 10 make it a source Of bene-
fit and of profit, not only to himself but TO his
employer. By such course, he will secure Ia
bour and employment for as general thing
the former owners ofthes slave, would be willing
to employ him, rather than white labour. This
the land holder would do, because he is aceus-
toned to the labour of the negro. and under
stands his nature and character as a labourer
better than be does that of white man.
1t is the intention of the writer to follow this
number with several others bearing upon the
subject named at the head of this article. This
is intended to serve as introductory of those that
are to follow. We solicit a patient and candid
consideration of the thopshts and6suggestiops
