COLPORTAGE IN NORTH-CAROLINA.
During the'summer months my labors extended
through more than 20. counties, most of which I
never bef re visited.) In addition to my duties as
Grnerel Agent, X' pasted 2f familier,30of whom
were neglecting church,' 11 never owned a Bible,
and 41 without other relkious .bQfks,w, Also. 4ia-
9
ttributed dver 150,000 pages of gospel truth.
I .... ... , tV.'Mnnfilain
Aitnougn me laoor was hmu w wuuiwui
coun'ies, yet it was pleasant, because of the kind
ness of friends ' everywhere, and the good
success in extending the . bread of ..Life
l the needv. I am more than ever impressed
with the U'cent neteUy for faithful tfresuUyand
book preachind by christians, individually..: and
united lv; to Help ministers in fprcauing the gos
pel, f rc-m reliable information, as well as from
jL'huri saw. T7B havo almost whole counties that
! wt not pr ierlv supply themselves with churches
! . ' . . - . .
ac 5ujjort nuni-ters. oe suw oi mmr pwunw
loca ion' and the parenss of the population,
which iso divided in some large sections as to
give no one denomination more than 5 or fi. faxmV
Dee. who are aenerallv ooor. and their labor can-
. not produce them much money. - Hence they are
almost destitute of rerubirpreaching and good
book. And xteishborboods that mar be more
united are so prejudiced to infoionary preachers
bat they wil( not f-oto bear them. As these scat
tered and Dreiudid families cannot scion be reach
ed througn the pulpit, we must reach them through
th pre?, by the Colportaste system, which Kindly
brings God s truth tn contact with thier firesides,
a the woman in Matt. 13 : 33, put the leaven tn
tkt meal. . This was strikingly illustrated recently
in the cae of a widow. After talking with her
and her children, lbanded her a tract which she
pressed to her heart, and 'aid,' in substance, "I
shall ever love tracts, for they are preacher that
can come and ttay mth ue all the time. . I now
have the first oae I ever received "The Dairy
man's Daughter which was given me by a Col-
po'teu two yrars ago, wben 1 wa wiclced and
thoughtless . I had not then been to preachine in
nearly 4 years, the nearest church being 6 miles,
and none of my children he oldert about 10
t ears ever heard a sermon or prayer before.
After that good-man here talked about my duty
to God and my children, I bad new thoughts. I
then read the tract and saw the Dairy
man's Daughter had something in her . soul
which I ' needed to support and - comfort
me. This led me to. rad my Bible for
instruction, and, through tne kindness of a neigh
bor, I went to church occasionally. In about 8
months I wa led to Christ. . Soon aft r my con
version the Colporteur reunited me and gave me
a packet of tracts, and I paid him 25 cents tor an
other, which I read and loaned to my neighbors
who meet in my house once a month for prayer
a .id singing, and to hear a tract read. Tbe tract
-Do you pray m your famiiy" caused me to com
mence praying with my children, night and mor
nine, by repeatig only the Lord's Prayer at first;
and, although it has been a great cross, yet it nas
proved a great blessing to roe and my children."
In visiting these families the usual objections to
denominations, education, Sunday Schools, &c,
are forestalled by our statement, that we aro sent
to their houses by christians of more than 20
churches, and our single object in . talking and
stinrlvine them with books is to point them to
Jesus, and after they are joined to Christ they can
join what cburch they choose. And that we wbh
to talk together only with something of the feeling
that we will have if me meet in heaven, which
will not be of controversy, jealousy, or fear, but
of Ioe for God and each other. After thus ad
dressing even the most prejudiced, at their homes,
we seldom fail to obtain a hearing so as to demon
strate religion, education and Sabbath Schools, by
the beautiful good books and catechisms,' which
they frequently express interest in, showing clearly
that their1, prejudice ia the result, generally, of
ignorance, which can be met most effectually in
their bouses.
With these classes a Col porta ee, free of secta
rianism, seems to be indispensable for the saving
of thir souls, and as the forerunner of denomina
tional efforts. Two Colporteurs (now Ministers)
"f a denominational board recently told me that
their succcess was almost double when they follow
ed in the track of a Colporteur of the American
Tract Society, for the prejudices were removed
anH the way ' opened for religion and books.
From the peculiar condition of hundreds of these
families, it is clear that God has provided this sys
tem to reach, enlighten and convert souls, a-d
hnice there t-hould he prompt individual and unit
ed effort to bring Divine truth tn contact with
thorn. And at this point there is work for each
one some t go and carry the truth, and others to

Baleigb, Sept 1st, 1858.
Mcbdkb. An atrocious murder was committed
in Gates county, N. C, a few days ago, by three
men. by tho names of Franklin, Brinkley and
Vann. on an old negro, the property of Mr. John
A. Kn;ght It appears that tbe old negro had,
some twelve months ago, been employed by Frank
lin, who refused to pay what was due for tbe work. '
Franklin having been repeatedly called upon for ;
settlement oy n night, and railing to pay the debt,
Jmgnt sued him. A lew nights si nee, .Franklin,
with Brinkley and Vann, from the adjoining
countv of Nansemond; Va., went to tbe house of
the old negro,-and after tying him, inflicted on
him an unmerciful whipping. But this, it seems,
did not satiate tbeir vengeance and thesedemons
then fell upon him with clubs, and with heavy
blows fractured his skull and jaw bone, and inflict
ed such other wounds that be died in a few mo
ments. When he was dead, thev nut clean gar
ments upon him, and after charging his wife if she
ever disclosed on word of the murder, that she
would nvet a similar fate, made their escape
Franklin has been arrested and committed to I
jail. Tbe other two from Virginia have not aa
yet been arrested. We learn there has been no
action taken in their cases. They are at home, j
strongly armed, and defy tbe authorities. ;

S-lThe Se.cretarvf the Navr has received the fol

the acconnt already given of bis capture of a slavei

Sra : I hare the honor to inform th Dejwrt
ment that, after a long chase, I overhauled and
captured at 6 o'clock this evening, a slaver, sur
rendering under American color?. She m 8 or
aboard Over BOO slaves, and. When I first made heT
out, was standings for Key Verde, with tbe expec
tation of landing ber cargo this evening Ilerof

whom are Americanp. One possessed an Ameri
can protection.; ;v .: :. '
' I have put the prizq under the command ol
Lieut J- M. Bradfordwith Lieut. C C. Carpen
ter, ten seamen, and six marines, with orders i st
once to proceed to' Charleston, S. C, and tct it
the premises, as the case may require. j
I am credibly informed that Severn! Americar
vessels ere expected on the north of Cuba, about
the 1st of October.1 ; - : :"
Being short of ofScers and ' men, and the vessel
requiring some overhauling, I shall sail at once f r
Key West, there to await the instructions of tbe
Department. . I am. very respectfully,
' - - Your obedient serv't,
.7 ' - J.-N. MAFFIT, Lieut, Commanding.
The Hon. Isaac ToTcet. Secretary of the Navy,
r Llent Bradford, in writing to tho Department
from Charleston, rays, that portion of bis order
" requiring the prisoners to be put in irons, would,
if executed, have made our voyage to this plac
impracticable ; for the slaves as soon as they found
they had new masters, destroyed large qumtitie!-
oi water ana provisions ior me satte otooiaining a
small qaantity of each for their own . I re
stored their former master", and they had to res-rt
to the fiercest cruelty before they could break up
these practices of the slaves.''
Lieut Bradford farther states that twelve ci
tbe slaves have died since the' r capture.
- In his orders td-ILieut-Bradford, Lieut. Maffit
directed all the prisoners (the officers and crew o'
the slaverl to be placed in irons, under d'mbiesen
tinels well armed. He was to proceed to Charles
ton and consult an attorney-at-law in reference to
the best course to pursue. He was also to call
upon the Mayor of the city and request bun to
procure quarters for tho slaves, that they might br
immed lately landed from the vessel.
By the act of May 10, 1800, the owners of ves
sels fitting out for or engaging in the slave trade,
forfeit their property and incur a fine for doubU
tbe amount Under the act of May 15. 1820, th
trade became piracy, and American or foreign
vessels engaged in the trade, incur the penalty o'
death. In making the prize the uffio rs and rew
of the Dolphin have had a Stroke of ?ood fortune.
Tbe law no, only gives them one half of the valu
of the vessel, but also $25 a bead prize money.-
Tbey will thus be entitled to between eight and
nine thousand dollars, to be divided 'among th
officers and crew. The existing law authorize th
President to send thecaptured negroes back to A f ica
at the expense of the United States. We b"liev
this is the first case of a captured slaver w iih ne
groes on board being brought into our ports.

Her Crew and Cargo Interesting Partic
. "- - ulars.
" TheCbarleston Mercury of Monday furnishes u
with ' the following interesting particulars re
garding the slaver recently capture! by Capt.
Maffit: .
' " . THE BRIG.
The real name of the captured brig is General
Putnam. The letters are partially eraed and
covered over by those of the assumed name of
Echo, and would doubtless have been restored, bad
success crowned the enterprise in which lie was
engaged when taken. She is of Baltimore build,
say, 280 tons burden and, it is believed, was for
merly a packet in the coffee trade between that
port and Kio. On the 6th March last she cleared
from New Orleans with a captain, two mates,
eight seamen, a cook, steward, and one passen
ger. HER CARGO OF SLAVES.
On the 5th July she shipped a cargo of 1 55
slaves on tne west coast of Atnca. at ivabenrti, sit
uated in latitude 5 30 south, longitude 12 20 ett.
It is lower Guinea, in the southern part of the dis
trict of Loango, and not far from the river Co"
go or Zaire. These slaves were purchased in u
circuit of 500, and assembled at a barracoon near
the point of shipment The brig pet sail with
them, and Ui forty seven days madethe trip, leach
ing the point of destination on tho 21st inst. In
this spae of time one hundred and furtv-on i ne
groe had died, leaving but three hundred and
fourteen alive. A hay on "Key Verde," one ot
the keys on the north coast of Cuba, latitude 23 30,
longitude 80 20, was the landing place, where the
Echo was detected oy the Dolphin.
THE CAPTURE.
The officers of the D lohin left the harb-r ' f
Sagua la Grande the day before, and while c uis
ing westward in seirch of slavers. peceived th?
v w-vwa-a. aa ww,u w cinwio, rO HIO t
fllrTand rn
Dolphin in the same direction. No suspicion was i
excited. The brift entered a bav. The Dolphin
run n her course, and in good time came in view
of the bay and the Echo. The captain of the slaver
now lost his presence of mind, supping ho was
suspected and pursued, and suddenly bauled fr.m
the coast It was then observed that a number ot
launches hear shore had their sails set to com
out to the brig. This verified the suspicion exci ted
by her strantre movement, and the Djlphin gar.-cnas-
to the flying vessel, still bearing the British
flag. Blank cartridges were fired, and it became
evident that the pursuer gained. j The slaver
spread all her canvass in vain, and finding herself
about to Tall into the clutches of the cruiser, thought
to be British, hauled down that flag and run up
the stars and stripes.
The Dolphin followed suit, displaying her true
colors, and brought ber to with a few shotted saw
fired after her. She was boarded by Lieut. Brad-
fordand 16 men, and surrendered at discretion.
No papers were found, but a signal of a black
cross on a white ground, which had probaMv just
been used to notify the . party on shore, by a pre
vious agreement. . , ,
. THI SLAVES CREW.
Tbi crew. 19 in number, professed to be all rs-
aufcnia, wibuuuk vnpiaoi or ouicers. Dili AileU'.
Maffit selected the prisoner who appeared to le at
the head of the enterprise, and took him aboard the
Dolphin, with a sick seaman and comrade t-'t-rd
him. The rest were broughtt-ere by LieutBralforii.
It sems that the capta'n and those two mn were
not sent to Charleston on board tho Catawba from
Key West, as was expected, hut are now on thir
way to Boston in tbe Dolphin. The names of 18,
excepting the captain, are as follows : .
Dominica de la Plene, Juan Brevera. Jose Fran
cisco, R. I. Bates, . John Basco, Alexander Rod
gers,F. Cleary, John E Capbell, Archibald Scott,
G. Piaken Antonio Almera, Thomas Under, An

Milandish, VV..H. Seno, Jose Gonzalez Seno.
; One is a Greek, one an Italian j s nie of them
are Portuguese, some Spaniard," and some Eng
lish. Some of them talk about New York, but
none now admit that tbey are Americans, r hav
a where-about in this country. These smugglers
are a desperate looking set of fellows.
TO BE TRIED FOB PIKACTI
Under the laws of 1819 and 1820 they will be
tried for their lives as pirates sailing on an Ameri
can bottom under the American flag. They were
committed to jail on Saturday afternoon. - Tbeir
