Anthony Barns.
Anthony Burns, the fugitive slave, captured
tome time since in Boston and restored to his
owner in Richmond, and afterwards sold to D.
McDaniel, Esq , of Nash county, in this State,
has been purchased by some persons North, and
has gone to the free States. Mr. McDaniel give
8900 for him, arfd sold hirn, we believe, for about
81,300. It i9 slated that the planters out South
remonsirHted against bringing such a negro among
theirs, as his trip North and his sojourn among
the abolitionists had no doubt seriously corrupted
his morals.
Anthony was received by some fifty persons
on his recent arrival in New York, on which oc
casion he mido a speech, telling some marvellous
stories about his afflictions, and assuming a very
pious tone the cunning rascul claiming that re
ligion had been a prominent trait in his character
tince infancy. He was to have a public reception
at Tremont Temple, Biston, and was expected
soon afterwards to visit New York City again.
He will have a good time of it so long as the vile
hypocrites who have him in charge can use him
so as to excite the public mind and thus add to
their own importance; but the day will come
when his teelh will chatter with cold, and when,
gonded wi;h want and hunger, he will wish him
self again on some plantation in the Southern
States.
This negro. Burns, was insurecHn December
last, m the North Carolina Insurance Company
of this City, by his masror, Mr. McDaniel, for
$"HlO. Anthony is described in the insurance pa
pers as of "m dium height and bacon color"
and Dr. Battle certifies that his chances for long
life are "favorable." To the question, "has the
party been, 01 is he employed in a sea-laring life,"
the answer is, " he had lioeit on a voynge from
Richmond to Basfoa, regularly boxed up, riyht
side up Willi care." It is also stated, or rather
ndmiitet, that lie was "slighlly bruised by a mob
in Boston and by close packing." Bui Anthony's
morals have been injured by contact with his
whue br threri in Boston. Once a faithful and
industrious field h md, he has now the habits of a
loafing jj'U'lemati among the "fust surkles" of
I! is-on abolitionism. Once he made corn and
--.ttn, and made himself useful generally ; now
he is fr only to wutix a fuss among hypocrites
and enemies to public peace and public order.

THAT COMMISSION HOUSE OF
TINLEY & HERRON'S,
CHARLESTONS S. .
THE only house doing business in that city that ac
tually had any experience in Receiving and For
warding of Goods previous to the South Carolina Rail
road quitting the business in July last, is still open for
the KECKIVING and FORWARDING of all kinds of
Goods, Wares, Merchandise, Machinery, Produce, &c.
If you want your goods forwarded without the vexa
tious delays and enormous expense bills paid t ae last
season, and at the same time htve your business done
in such a manner that somebody will be made respon
sible for the damaged and lost packages, consign them
to TIN LEY & HERRON, w hohave Received and For
warded all Coods consigned to them during the past
season without any extra charge over those establish
ed rate3 as given below, and up to this time have not
encountered a solitary complaint.
Our Mr. Herron was Clerk of the Receiving and For
warding Department of the South Caiolina Railroad for
the past seven years, and is perfectly familiar with all
their books, freight tariffs and rules of shipment, both
by railroads and vessels, together with the mode of
procedure to secure damages and pay for lost art icles
from other parties, the proper steps of which wid be
taken in all such cases without loss or delay to the
owners. Another important advantage is that his
thorough knowledge of all freights and rules of ship
ment, enables him instantly to detect and correct any
overcharge in the bills of lading, which in all cases
has to be dor.e at that time, or be lost to the owner, in
many instances greatly exceeding the commissions we
charge. He was also raised in Charleston, is perfect
ly acclimated, and free from the contagions of that
city, therefore we will under all circumstances faith
fully discharge any business entrusted to us.
All produce, such as Wheat, Flour, Corn, Corn Meal
Bacon, Lard, Butter, Eggs, Cotton, Rice, Rye, Oats,
Hay, Tobacco, Wool, Feathers, Beeswax, Potatoes,
Onions, &c, consigned to us, will be promptly sold
and proceeds returned, without keeping the money a
few months to speculate upon ; for we wish it distinct
ly understood that we engage in 110 speculation what
ever, all that we want is our commission, as follows :
For Receiving and Forwarding all ordinary packa
ges of goods, 10 cents; large packages of furniture
and machinery, charges according to responsibility.
Iron and steel in loose bars, 10 cents per hundred lbs.,
and storabie for advancing freights, and charges 2
per cent, which you can save by depositing the money
with us; for selling produce 2 per cent. We will
also fill all orders in this market, making the best se
lections for our patrons, at 5 per cent.
