A STORY OF ANTE BELLUM DAYS. Many HIaypn Were Stolen from Our Count Country ami Carried to the Went and Sold. The following interesting story we clip from the Columbia State: Some years prior to the Civil war there was a considerable amount of emigration from the southern coast States, most of sucli emigrants going to the then unsettled country of the Mississippi and its tributary valleys, lu most instances these {migrants had some meaus, and they carried their slaves along with them. Consequently m ^ - they were in a position to accumulate wealth from the rich, alluvial soils of the river bottoms more rapidly than their less fortunate neighbors who had no slave labor to help them. This led to much jealously and discontent on part of the large class of self-working whites, who after some years spent In seeing their better equipped neighbors getting richer and they poorer, handed themselves together in a certain district in the lower section of Louisiana for the purpose of running oil slaves from the Carulinas and Virginia and selling them or keeping them for their owu uses, as needed, preferably distributing them among themselves, as this avoided inquiry. They had as their leader a man who became prominent in the political atfairs of Louisiana In the days of Reconstruction after the Civil war. This man went to Virginia, where he bought a small coast trading schooner. She was taken to Mobile, nlu>ri< :i f:tlse skin vcfiu hnilt l,?. leaving a space between her sides and tills skin ol about two feet, room enough for a negro to stand sideways therein. It was so cunningly devised that the most careful search of the vessel nover divulged its existence. It was divided into compartments, each holding four or live negroes, and in these compartments many an unaccounted for slave (supposed to have escaped to the north) was conveyed 10 a much warmer climate (of course I mean Louisiana). For six years this trade went on and no one ever suspected its existence, as the slave pl, rates were careful to take only one or j two slaves from any one owner, ;jjid then only from those having large numbers. Occasionally they ran oil a large block of city negroes, but the plantation hands, which they preferred, were more carefully selected from a large area. It was only on the deathbed of Lite mate of the vessel thai the facts bccauie known, although this boat., at one time and out her, ran cargoes of negroes from every Atlantic and Gulf State. A description of one of the voyages will explain the methods cmployed to capture their cargoes: One afternoon just before the sun set on one of the most perfect days that had ever been seen In South Carolina a small schooner was seen to cross the liar at the entrance of the Stono river, some 12 miles below the city (if Chariest< >n, a brisk "sou'easter" lilllng her swelling sails (which Hhowcd clearly against the background of trees i?n tlie island at the mouth of the river) brought lier quickly up tlie river to a point opposite the little summer village known as Legareville, wliere just at dusk slie dropped anchor. Tlie next morning two or three of tlie crew came ashore, ostensibly for tin; purpose of buying wood from tlie planters on John's island, which lay to tlie southwest of tlie river, and succeeded in making arrangements for a cargo. This gave them an opportunity to visit tlie different plantations and to estimate tlie number of negroes on each. Having thoroughly posted themselves and picked out the negroes they liked best they formed means of talking to them and persuaded them to sneak oil during t lie night, appointing a place of meeting and promising I lilt ifillT Mix - rn.$ m $ *Jug or whlskuy, which lu thbffc day* was a rattier rare treat to negroes. Tbe unsuspecting negro ot bourse showed up. Instead of whiskey, gags , and the rope was his portion. He was then conveyed aboard tbe vessel and hidden in one of the compart! meats. Ot course a "hue and ory" 1 was raised for the missing negroes, but tho boat, although searched, was ' 1 found to he empty, and of course no ' suspicion entertained that sho was 1 | other thau as represented, The na< i ( ! grces were, of oourse. supposed to have ! taken to the swamp, a trick of whtoh n.ore tlian one was frequently guilty, j These pirates obtained on this voyage some 20 negroes from that nation, and in due course put to sea the way they had oome. The word being, of course, ] only a blull, it was thrown overboard as soon as possible to lighten the boat < and give her more speed. These negroes were carried to their rendezvous, on an island some miles below i New Orleans, from which place they i were turned over to those desiring I them. After the Civil war one of the neirroes taken awav on that. rw>r>jioi<in m. turned to John's island and gave an account of his adventures. No one, however, l>elieved his tale until it was corroborated by the mate's Confession, i which came duly to the knowledge of the writer The captain was arrested upon the mate's confession, but being prominent in the corrupt political i deals of those times nothing ever came of it and eventually lie went to California and was lost sight of. Many hundreds of slaves were carried otr by these pirates and it is surprising how successfully they eluded all suspicion. Had they attempted to sell all of the negroes thus stolen they would surely have been caught, but the leading spirit of it all was too shrewd for that. W. li. Holmes, Charleston, July 11. COMING HOME TO ROOST. Tlic North llcKitining to (iol Hack Their IjoHt Chickens. We do not want the people of the North and West to judge the negroes of the South by the Vagabonds who are committing all manner of crimes : amony them. There are plenty of good negroes in the South, and the ones who commit the crimes of rape and assassination are the vicious ones among us, and we feel sure the same Is true everywhere. A writer in the Augusta Chronicle says: The recent brutal outrages per- ' petratcd by the negro in Indiana, Illinois, l>elaware and other northern localities furnish happy illustrations ; of his marvelous progress in moral culture during forty years freedom and ] would seem to suggest tills as an ap- : propriate time for our brethren across the line to pass aiound the hat for [ another monument to John Hmwn. ! While tlie collection is being taken the chair might stimulate tlieir ' righteous zeal hy singing, "As we go lynching on," to a shot nun accompaniment by the ' orchestra. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, 1 but they grind exceed inn line," and in ! the tide of time the chickens turned , loose by bayonet suffrage, political recognition and wite house hospital- ' Ity are cominn back to roost in northern homes. "They're cominn Father A brum A hundred thousand strong:" They're coming home to roost Where they rightfully belong. The writer is neither a prophet nor a pessimist, and yet as the "black horror" casts t lie shadow of its brutal menace farther and farhcr into northern hearthstones, it may be that even under the pale of Faneuil Hall there 1 will come some day a dim regret that Stonewall Jackson fell ere Gettshurg was fought.

THE COURTS DELAY 1 I Canned Hie I.ynching ol'a Wliitc Man | < In Kentucky. , i At Mayesvillc, Ivy., enraged at the i i courts action, a mob broke into the 11 j Flemingshurg jail Wednesday morn- j i ing and handed William Thaeker, a < white man, who had liecn given a life ( sentence for the murder of John Gordon, two years ago. Tliackcr, in a quarrel with Gordon at Foxport, fought and killed him, ' then sat on his liody. with a winches-.-, ter in his hands * while fie smoked a pipe and dared any one to attempt to 1 arrest him. At..the time Thaeker ! escaped, but later he was arrested and 1 lodged in jail at Flemingshurg. lie was given two trials and finally not a ' life sentence. Gordon was a good ' citizen. Thaeker appealed to the ' court of appeals and was waiting for another trial, lie had some money ' and was able to command the support | of some influential men, and it is ! feared he might have escaped punishment altogether. The moii colected at Mt. Carmel, ' where Gordon once lived, and came [ into Flemingshurg by twos and threes, ; in order not to arouse suspicion. They advanced upon the jail shortly after 1 midnight. The jailer refused to sur- s render the keys, hut he was overpow- j ered and the keys taken from him. Thaeker was hurled to a tree near the 1 jail and given two minutes to say his prayers, which he refused to do, but beged for life. To hush his cries he was hit. on the head with a rock and ' his unconscious body was strung up ' until life had become extinct. \ An I'jcly Crime. * ' Hon. James L. Shelton, ex-member j | of the assembly from Louis county t and a resident of Richmond, Ya., was j | attacked by negroes and beaten into N ! insensibility, while walking in the j ! grounds of the Hermitage Golf club,1, in the western suburbs ef the city,!. with a young lady, a nurse in one of the hospitals, Friday night. It is reported that the young lady was dragged into an adjoining field and felon- t iously assisted, but so far this lacks 1 confirmation. It is authoritatively I stated that the negroes did not ac-! I complish their purpose on the young f lady.

She spent practically all the t? time in Monrovia, not going into the tl interior except on rare occasions, and y then not far from town. She says the U natives around Monroviaarc peaceable e< hut further back in the interior they g are dangerous. Agriculture is actively ti carried on near the coast, corn, grain p and all the vegetables ordinarily raised ) in (leorgia being successfully grown, p No cotton is grown in the colony. She says that health conditions there are ci not so very different from what they si are in this county the climate suits ]i some and disagrees with others just as 01 at Inane, where some are healthy and ti others unhealthy. She says that when < i she lirst went to Liberia all the sugar, a. molasses, etc., consumed in Monrovia it and the other towns was made up in this country, but that in later years this industry lias declined so that most of such articles are now Imported. Formerly the settlers in the upper part iof Liberia sawed much lumber, but now the lumber is imported, she says. The original settlers had much energy, but the present generation is not inclined to develop these industries. ^ The Crawford woman says that . when she first went to Liberia two or three American ships touched.at Mourovia every week. Now sometimes ci two or three years pass without an rj American ship visiting the port. The foreign trade is in the hands of Knglishmcn, Hermans. iMitchmen and Norweigians. the American interest a having steadily declined. Many of the F retail stores in Monrovia are kept by h colored people. There are but few <> white people in Monrovia. She says 01 mai Monrovia is Hardly as la rue as ? (Jolumbus. t< While a good many of American ti negroes there are dissatisfied with their lot and wish to return to America tl ind would do so if they could pay their t] passage, yet many are content with M their surroundings and intend to spend t< the rest of their lives in Africa.

Its peculiar adaptility to diseases originating from disorders of the kidneys, bladder and liver, eh as dropsy. Height's disease, diabetes and uric acid calculi, and all forms of spepsia. rheumatism and gout, is to be expected from the splendid analysis, has lieen noted frequently that visitors lie fore coming here had to follow cry meal with some form of corrective, or confine themselves entirely to edigested foods: soon discarded these entirely, being delighted to tind that c water alone nature's own remedy sulllced. Of tlie many who drank this water ti 1 is season for ten days consecutively, t one but experienced decided benefit and a perceptible gain weight, varying >m two to tive pounds. L. C. STEPHENS. M. 1).
