"When the opoii ports and deadlights sln?lf

to ho dorte but to got the steam pumps

them, it is thought, will be enough to free the

Several offers have been made-to raise the
shipby contract. ThO price asked has been
in the neighborhood pf ten thousand dollars.
*j This the owners regard as quite too exorbitant,,
and tho labor of getting her afloat, there

a " an easy job compared with what it would be
nl if the ship was in tiro position she was first
represented to he, tlmtjs, entirely submerged

considerable, owing to the swelling of tire
wood work in the finished parts, and the

dress, with belts about their legs and body
filled with shot to the weight of about 12
pounds. The head is incased in a huge copper
cap, resting on their shoulders, with i
glass before the eyes and mouth. An India
rubber tube of about an inch diameter, is

Mr. Chapman, the Delegate from '7.
ton Territory ..relates that, when he pr<L f ^
several Indian women with some calico, k ,
showed them a dress such as is worn by
civilized women, they, after examining the
garment very carefully, made up their calico
in very good imitation of it, and were delighted
with their new apparel.
V The men also requested to be admitted ina
steam vessel which was near the shore,
pru " ' hut were refused. They wont to work, rudely
constructed paddle-wheels to their canoe,
built a fire in the centre, and when the
steam arns<? in tln? o?nn' - "

WrAfmw, The Baptist denomination in

we can compete successfully with oftier pla
,ces for tlie"tantion of the College if we dc
pend on pecuniary subscription alone ; an<
there is but little doubt that a liberal coal. .

secure us tlie Ideation, '.'tfi-ti
The academy property has been put in
the bands of the Trustees for the use of the f
people by the donor of the lands, mid the '
subscribers to the buiSding-s; those who made
the trust, ' and those for whose mo it was
made are the parties interested, and if they
plea*e to direct a modification of the use,
who lias a right to gain-say, or object to it.
The majority of those cqnajty intern ted are
the highest authority in this country, and
have a right to rule.
The baptist College will not be sectarian,
but simply a Literary College, where good
morais are taught, aud the christian scriptures
read aud inculcated. All its pupils
will attend pubtio worship and sundav-scbool
where the parents or guardian may direct.
So sectarian opposition is out of placo.
The equity of the matter cannot be violated
if the transfer is made in obedienc?f to
die wishes of those or a majority of those
who made the trust, and those who nr?> ?o
enjoy its use. !j
If hereafter our people feel the need of an
academy or common school home, either for ?
boys or girls, or botf?, they are abundantly
able to supply the want, without foreign aid. J
llut not so with the College. 'Ihpt we can- I
not accomplish without foreign ma, and if J
\vc miss the present opportunity another p
such may not otter again in a century. p
The trustees are only agents; they have
ao power to change the u-hc of, the trust, J,
ithout proper instruction and authority.?
Therefore let our people, upon petition, make n
? shewing to tlie Court of Chancery at its fi
next sitting in our tow n, of their wi-hes in n
the~'pyjffiwe?) with the reasons on w hich their v
wishes are based, and InaWite-doulit ibey ^
can obtain an order for the desired transfer, w
and the Trustees would obey w illingly,'' If n
this course he persuod, I presume all the a
threats of protracted law-suits, will vanish
into thin air. For there could not he the ^
least rational hope of sustaining them, and d
the mere fun of spending money in court b
tees, is uot a very fascinating amusement. ''

Sentence of Thomas W. Kinnufe. ^
Tub following sentence was passed upon ^
T. W. Kinman, for Negro Stealing by n
Judge O'Neai., on last Monday :
Thomas W. Kinman : ll
The sad duty of announcing to you the c
fearful punishment which is to be indicted v
upon you devolves upon ine. This duty 1 h
have often performed in my long aervice-tfe n
a judge, but never have I approached it t?
with feelings as paiuful as those which -now n
agitate me. - X
Yon stand before me, a husband and fa- ti
thW?the husband, as 1 am told, of a most h
excellent womnn and the father of eight ^
chilcM& These ties are all to he severed;
your wife is to be a wretched widow, your
children orphans indeed ! Your eftnie is to
be to them a heritage of shame and dis- 11
grace. f<
1 fear, indeed I believe, notwithstanding 11
the recommendation to mercy by the jury,
your crime is such tliat you will not be pardoued.
Permit me, therefore, (irksome as ^
the duty is to increase your burdens,) to set 8
before von some of '**'

ought to he tlie subject of your reflection^ ?
Ketnt-iuber that the holy book which you "
have heard rend, and which you have per- 5
haps read yourself, tells you and all other >
men, "Thou shait not steal." You are >
therefore condemned in cdttlbnnity to the '
mandate of the Highest, For that you stole f
the slave of Dr. lluntcrjio make gain and *
profit is too plain to l?e doubted. J
Indeed, I feel that you know it is sp ; it M
may be, as your persevering countf asserted ?'

who is more guilty than yoj^. If it he aoj *

of tb. wh.ch yon^v.J
committed. Stealing a wave, or m-givowing
as it is called, involves the corruption or
deception of the wretched alave himself.?
Our act describee your offence to "inveigle,
steal and carry away" A slave. Inveigling
supposes that the influences of corruption^deception
are used to induce the slave to
