A Negro State.

A Charleston Is. Co. correspondent
of the Richmond, (Ky.) Messenger
thus alludes to political affairs in the
old Palmetto State:
"Four-ffths of the members of the
Legislature are negroes, who have
made from three to hundred thous-
and dollars each. The Lieutenant
Governor and Secretary of State are
mulattoes, and three out of the four
members of Congress range IN color
from bottle of ink to dirty piece of
sole-leather. One of the Associate
Justices of the Supreme Bench is so
black that a chalk mark on his phil
anthropic physiognomy would look
like light house in fog, while the
ponderous gravity with which he lis
tens to the learned arguments of the
really learned men of the State, who
are forced to appear bafore him, has
its equal only in that ridiculous Sc
dateness with which you have seen a
monkey catch fieas. The leader of
the Legislature is a Michigan negro,
whose linguistic oiliness quickly
brought him to the dingy surface. and
there he still floats in vanity and
wealth. He is called the "Black Prince"
and lives in a, style about seven miles
from Charleston, owns twenty. horses
and mules, with handsome carriages
to boot; drives with footman, and
! fires bottle or two of champagne
with lavish hand to every sight
seer who has o curiosity to visit an
ebony idol in his own home"
For all of which Radicalism, is en-
titled to the honor.

CoAL.-Mr. j. L. Christy, of this
township, has been quite extensively
engaged for some time past in leas-
ing the coal interest in a large num-
Der of farms in the south part of At
water township. He is confident that
the west part of that township is un-
derlaid with coal, and he intends to
make an effort to obtain leases of land
in that section soon, and to prospect
for the 'black diamonds" there. If
he should succeed in discovering work
able veins of coal in that region it
will be a good thing for the farmers
owning lands as well as for the peo-
pie generally.

JAIL LDELIvERY.--About nine O'Clock
on Friday euening last, the inmates of
the Cross-bar Exchange abandoned
their quarters at that popular institu-
ton. They were six in number, viz {:
Edward Smith, charged with burglary !;
Edward Carr and Geo. Parker, charged
with horse-stealing; Calvin Shell
don and William Ryan, petit larceny !;
and Thomas Small, wife beating
| With the exception of the first named
all the prisoners were sent over from
Trumbull county for safe keeping, and
three of the number were Americans
of African extraction. The method
of effecting their escape was shrewdly
managed. One of the prisoners above
named, William Ryan, little sad
dle-colored boy twelve or fourteen
years old, complained to Sheriff Paine
and jailor Buck that his fellow prison
ers were in the habit of ducking his
head in the water-bucket and other
wise abusing him, and he was given
the liberty of the Jail yard, with the
injunction that he must keep away
from the prison door. On Friday the
Sheriff and Jailor not being about, and
the jailor's wife deing unwell, the lit
tile darkey disregarding orders, went
to the closet and taking down the key
to the outer door, unlocked it, when
all the inmates took their departure.
Officers Paine and Buck are certain.

On Tuesday morning the young dar.
key came in on the train from Warner
alone, and resumed his quarters in the
lookup, having been sent back by his
mother but the rest of the prisoner
have not yet been heard from.
