se of a gentleman of color. As the publisher required more copy still, I determined to narrate the history of this slave. It is subjoined. I reported her own language, as she replied to my questions. The arrangement of it, therefore, is all that I can claim. This woman has never seen the harshest features of slavery; for she lived in the State, where, of all others, it exists in its mildest form; she had, also, as she says, a kind old master, until the marriage of his children; and Mr. Hinckley, as is evident, although a Haynau and petty despot, never punished her with unusual severity or frequency. This, then, is a picture of slavery in its most pleasing aspects. Of many of the facts she relates I have personal knowledge; and her character for veracity is vouched for by every one who knows her. Another word, before her narrative begins. She was the first slave, or one of the first slaves, ever held in Kansas. She was kept there in bondage, in a Military Reservation, un

rmed, a portion of the needles are drawn up, thus retaining their loops, and the number of needles left in action correspond with the width of the heel to be formed. The cam-cylinder is now to be reciprocated in opposite directions, and in order to keep the thread-guide in advance of the descending needles sufficiently far, so that the thread will be caught, pins are inserted in the bed-plate, and engage the heel of the threadcarrier, and stop it just before the cam-cylinder is stopped. Hinckley's knitting-machine. Fig. 2770 is an example of what is known as the single-needle machine. The loops are formed and held on the teeth of a comb, which is moved along, one tooth at a time, by means of a rack on its rear side, whose teeth are engaged by a fin on a wheel c on one end of a shaft n, that is driven by the main wheel a, one part of the fin being movable, so that it can be swung from side to side, to vary the direction of the motion of the comb by a tri-armed lever located in

How should a new government be instituted? Townmeetings, before news had arrived of the proclamation of William and Mary, were held throughout the colony. Of fifty-four towns, forty certainly, probably more, voted to reassume the old charter. Representatives were chosen; and once more Massachusetts assembled May 22 in general court. It is but a short ride from Boston to Plymouth. April 22. Already, on the twenty-second of April, Nathaniel Clark, the agent of Andros, was in jail; Hinckley resumed the government, and the children of the Pilgrims renewed the institution which had been unanimously signed in the Mayflower. But not one of the fathers of the old colony remained alive. John Alden, the last survivor of the signers, famed for his frugal habits, and an arm before which forests had bowed, was silent in death. The days of the Pilgrims were over, and a new generation possessed the soil. The royalists had pretended that the Quaker Lambeth Mss 841. grandees of Rhode

News from Pike's Peak. Fort Kearney,, Jan. 18. The weather is mild and it is snowing fast. The Western stage, with passengers and the mail, and Hinckley & Co.'s messenger, with $6,000, passed at half-past 10 P. M., last night. Denver City dates are to the 14th inst.

About thirty quartz mills are still running in the Mountain City neighborhood, and they are doing well. The water gulches are failing steady; only those can run that have mills. Several sluices have been started in the Platte diggings, eight miles above this city. --They are supplied with water from the Hydraulic Company's ditch, and miners say they can make wages where heretofore work would not pay. A pottery manufactory will commence operations in a short time near this city.
