FAMILY SEpARATED.-This morning there
was quite "a scene on the wharf or ll!e aqua
Creek steamers. The parents, colored people,
of an infant of some six months, contemplating
q trim to Richmond gave their child IN charge
Of a colored woman, "A friend of the family, to
take to the boat, while they went up the street
to make some purchases, prior to leaving 1he
woman went straight to the wharf, and upon
the arrival of the steamer took the child aboard
and laid it down in snug place, supposlng OF
course that the parents would be IN time, but
in few minutes the Ironsides put off, leaving
the man and wife, who arrived on the wharf IN
time to ret glimpse of the steamer swiftly
gliding down the stream with the baby, bound
Tor AGuia Creek. Great was their anguish, but
Mr. Phillips the agent, and others quoted
their overwrought feelings by assuring them that
Capt Freeman, one of the most tcnder-iieartedi
Of his race, would see to it that no harm would
come to the child, and that the trip would doubt
less be of benefit The return OF the steamer
is auxiously looked for by the still distressed
parents
