Buncombe Hail. is well known to every one in tho

bainB conndorofl fasoi, auoshcr schomo waa
prepared, whereby cacl, Stale, by ordinance
or amendment to ita Constitution, was to
provide for the abolition Of slavcry within
five yoarA, SO that on Tic Int of January,
1850, slavery in ali thoas States was to
bo abolished forever. Letters werc received
from Con. LEE heartily. indossing tho
sohomo, ho proforring tho abolition Of
slavory 10 snbjngatlon. Our correspondent
furnishes us with copy mMlo in London
. ns tho time Of the proposition, to ba aubmit-
tod to the soveral Statos, Upon tho adoption,
Of which Franco md England wero to rocog-
nizo tho Independence of tho Confederate
States. How this copy waa obtained It Ia
unnecessary to stato. This waa in 1893, and
about the linn of the fa1l Of Vicksburg and
tho defeat Of LEE at Gettysburg. Tho gou-
tte1nan who communicates these facts to us
states that MAsoN's unlisguised hostility 10
the acl1omo was considered In London and
Paris rs tho ca1so Of tho lofeat Of the whole
business.
We stated the other day in commenting
upon BEAunzoARp's 1otter that alayery was
mado tho cornerstone Of tho Confederacy,
mid tho natural inferiority and the adapta.
ton OF tho negro u condition Of
slayory Was formally recognized in tho
foundation OF tho Government. II il pos
sible TINT this 1nnltar was communicated TO
tho Richmond Government, but II was never
submitted to tho States, because It would IN
MI probability havo been rojoctctl unani-
mously by thon1.
To submit it with IN explanation Of the
and to bo secured by isa adoption would have
been to expose tho secret onu,ity Of tho
British and Fronch Governments towards the
Union. If elnvery VIM to be abolished, the
chances were that tho minority Of tho statss
would seok to bo restored 10 tho Union,
which they had loft for no other purpose
than to saye slnvery.

Another Trunk Mystery,

While Michael Daily was at work on
Western avenue, about two miles from the
city of Lynn, Mass. on the 9th, he saw
little way off what he supposed was a huge
chunk of wood, but on investigation it
proved to be trunk from which a human
hand protruded. The trunk was tied with
a large wooden string, and on opening it a
horrible spectacle was presented, being that
of the body of young woman about "a
years old, in a nude condition, with the
arms and legs twisted about in every con-
ceivabie shape. Her nose was entirely cut
Oft. The trunk contained besides, the dead
body, two champagne bottles and several
bricks. An autopsy was held, and it was the
opinion of the doctors that she had been
dead two or three days.
Miss Laura iced, of Franklin, Mass, has
been missing since the 2lst ult. Although
her age does not correspond with that of
the girl found in the trunk, she was fully
developed and might be mistaken for one
of "A years. The description given by su-
perintendent Adams, of the Boston police,
of Miss Teed, answers the description of
the murdered girl.
