From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe Con-
verified.

We hear from Florida that Mrs.
Beecher Stowe, the authoress Of "Uncle
Toms Cabin, who a year or two ago
bought a place or. the st. Johns River,
near Jacksonville, says she wants to
live long enough to write another book
to correct the mistake Of " Uncle Tom,'
and show that great blunder was COM
mitted when slavery was abolished.
From original condition of sentimental
attachment to the negro, she has lapsed
into o state of unconquerable dislike
rsrrt4i u pr rrfvr,.- gl,e- mal-aot;har.o thona
about her, either in doors or out. She
turned them all off her place, and al
lows no one with black skin to ap-
proach her. We are told that an ac-
quaintancc of ours sought to send her a
message by black stewardess on board
steamboat, but she refused to allow
the negro to approach her. Her mind,
as we have been credibly informed, is
very much inhamed against the negro
and this, probably, from comparing their
efficiency and aptitude as laborers and
servants with that of the Northern
whites. Her fancy picture Of the AT
rican has been spoiled, and her senti-
mental affection has turned, in conse-
quence, to violentaversion. LikeSqueers
the milk Of human sympathy in her
bosom has all turned to curds and
whey.

A Hundred Years in prisoa.

A certain house-breaker was con-
demned, in the latter part Of the last.
century, in France, andaudder peculiar
CIRCUMSTANCE 70 2 Hundred years in
tbeogSleys, and Strange to relate, this
man recently made his appearance in
his own native province, at the ad-
Ianced age of one hundred and twenty.
years, he being about twenty years OF
age when the sentence which condemned
him to such dreadful punishment was
passed. 1t is difficult to conceive what
the feeling must have been with which
he returned, as soon as emancipated
from the shackles which had enthralled
him for century, to breathe once more
the cherished air Of the scene Of his in
fancy. Bourg, in the department Of
Ain, was his. native home, but time had
SO changed the aspect Of the whole,
that he recognized it only by the Church
Of Bron, which was the only thing that
lad undergone no alteration. He had
triumphed over laws, bondage, man,
sime, everything. Not relation had
he left. Not single being could he
hail in acquaintance; yet he was not
without experiencing the homage and
the respect the French pay old age.
For himself, he had forgotten everything
connected with his early youth F; even
all recollection Of the crime was lost,
or, if at all remembered, it was drea-
ry vision, confounded with thousand
other dreary visions of days long gone
by. His family and connections, tor
several generations, all dead; himselfFa
living proof of the clemency Of Heaven
