the death aud early life Of Gen. Deyehs, pub
lished in your issue Of Jan. -. The writer
states that the General was United States Mar
shall Of Massachusetts from lSi9 until 1853 and
was the official that arrested TON Sims" tho
fugitive slave, in Boston. After the trial and
rendition of Sims 10 his master by the courts
the writer further says: " In a singulaTly no
bio manner, Marshal Devens as n man, atOned
for the wrong which, rs q sworn official, he felt
obliged to inhict. He bought the slave referred
10 and gave him his freedom"
This last statement Is Incorrect Sims was
bought by no one North. but went South with
his master, who sold him at Yieksburg Miss.
One morning in February or March, 1853,
while the army lay at YounS's Point, La,
guard came on board the Steamer Magnolia

old, and two young men, one By the name Of
John Bafour; the others name have for

he resolved 10 make another effort for freedom,
aud communicated his intention TO lis two

wanted. Al the proper time, dark, rainy,
and stormy night, Sims went three miles into
the country, got his wife and child, with their
masters gold and silver money, leaving Con-
Tolerate bills (h.s wife being a confidential ser
want knew where the money was kept, came
% town, got the two boys aud all left for the
swamp.
The canoe was found, but there were no pad

canoe, showed out into the stream, aud padded
with their hands, while the woman aud girl
bailed, IN the same manner the water that
rolled over the sides of the canoe every few

daylight, they stood shiveriug, cold, and wet,
until IL was light enough To DO seen by the

camp, where they were dried and fed, aud then
brought before Gen Grant.
After keeping them on board Of the boat two
or three days, Gen. Grant gave Sims and family
