Negro Freedon and Savery. The New Orleans has the following interesting example of the horrors of slavery. "Seventeen years ago, the mother., in-law of t lie gentleman took a trip to France, alcconipanied by a fitvorito slave-a Ileguo- woman. While, in. 'rane, soine ollicious philanthropiuta itilormel the slave that she was f-ee, and induced her to leave her mistiess'. ser ice. A short time after her de parture, a white man gulled upon the lady arnd chiiined wages for. tIleabseut, slave. The reply weats that lii) wages wer' due her, but that i' shy ad h i, solved not to return, her e othing ahd lffets would be given to her as her iMistress had no desire to leae her in. destitution. Aecrdii-gly the girl's things were taken away-nothing more was heard of her, and after awhile M'na L. vtirned to thu United Sates. "This event took- place in 1837. A few days ago the steamship United States ai rived in Net Orleans from hares, and a imong the passengers was this negr) Wuilman, by this time ,soinewhat stricken in years. lnmedi. ately on tier arrival, she hastened to the _home of h r old mistress, and im iloried the hmzily to fourgive her esca pade, and to rcceivo her again as a slave. She told a piteous tale of suffer ing uan1d piivatio n. On leaving her mistress ini Paris, she runained suume tiene in F'lance, where she led a in.s erable existeiiee, earning, with great dilhiclty, her daily bread, and driven to the wall by the super1 ilo' intelligence, amdustrv and tact of the w hite race. I'1inding it in lausible to get along in "rance., she maniaged to leave the country, a: d pr.ceded to Jamaica, where she naturally iopad to prosper aniig the u.nuaneiriated blacks of that island. Iler fate in Jamaica was equally wretc'hed, and alter some years of dreadilul penury, this misguided but unlortunai e woinl passed over to Ila\ ti, where she lived for a time; struggling atnd striving ir the barest nec'ess;t ii's of lift'. At length, wear, ried out with fruitless eflirts, she went to Clhagres, and taking passage on board the Uiited States, came back t(t New Orleans, thoroughly sick of lib eitv, and yearning to be again a slave; to enljoy the comiu.rts of a home, kind owners and regulaited service."
