Baltimore Wm. H, Pkakc and Wm. Thomson MISCELLANY. From the Charleston Saul kern Patriot, ' A Female Slave Proved to be an Indian, and Freed from Slavery. Some fourteen years ago, a Mr. Dai by. of Chester District, purchased a girl cal led Lucy, who was carried to that neigh borhood by a man named Thompson, said to have been seen in Washington, D. C, as late as 1851, practising law. The girl had the looks of an India u, but was sold to him as a negro. She ran away repeatedly, telling her playmates she was an Indian. Some three or four years ago, she was lodged in jail in Columbia as a runaway, and advertised. Her owner came for her, and was re quired to show his bill of sale, which was not considered altogether satisfac tory. Several citizens wero impresed by the girl's appearance, and advised the jailor not io give her up, as she evi- dently was an Indian. He applied , to Governor Means for advice and the Gov ernor directed him to stand a suit, and let the case be decided by an appeal to evidence. Governor Manning also, up- j on coming into office, expressed an in- terest in the trial, as one involving im- portant rights to the girl. After long delays by the party claim- - ing her, to procure evidence, the case was tried at the late term. Some three years siuce an old Cherokee chiel visit Columbia, upon hearing that an In dian" girl was in jail. He said that, fourteen years ago, while his tiibe was on the way from North Carolina to Ar-r Kansas, an Indian girl, about lour years old was stolen , from his party ; that great distress was caused to her par ents ; that she was the child of his sis ter's daughter, and thaf her name was Lait-se ; that he came to Columbia with the hope of seeing Lut-se, and that," as soon as he laid eyes on her, his heart was rejoiced to see the face of his sister's daughter ; that this gill is Lut-se, and she is as much like her mother as her mother's sister's children are like her mother's sister. The chief's name is Iualuskie, Tbe old man removed eight years ago from Arkansas, and now lives in North Caro lina. He was a captain . under Gen. Jackson at the battle of the Horse-shoe . Bend, where be commanded 130 warri " ots, and fought with much distinction. Commissions, were read from several chiefs of tribes now in North Carolina, stating . that a girl named Lut-se was stolen from one of their party, about fourteen yrar? ago. A commission was . read of the examination of a Mrs. Car ter, the wife of a man who purchased the girl from Thompson, and sold her to . Darby. . - . In this she stated that, learning from her children that the girt said she was an Indian, she called her up and ques iKnpd hpr about it, when sb? said "No," she was not Indian, butler mother vir negro. This was offered as evidence, and strange to say, admitted. Hutjt had the opposite effect of what was in tended ; as it was clear that among her playmates the girl told the truth and to tier master or mistress she evidently had been tanght lo say otherwise. Evidence was brought forward that she had for fourteen years been in Chester in posses sion of Darby, working as a "negro, and so considered, although called "Darby's Indian." The most striking testimony adduced in the case was that by our distinguish " d, talented and scientific townsman, Dr. It ' D. Gibbes. This is not only mine; but the pinion of others, --He understands the anatomy of our races as well as I know my multiplication table. As proof of my declaration, he, was put upon the stand and called upon to explain the ethnological distinction of races. ; He was asked to point out the characteristics of the Indian and negro, which he did very minutely and fully) and in a manner to bring conviction to the wholeLassembled crowd. : He exhib ited a cast of an Indian skiill-an abo riginal said to be from one in the Acad emy of Science in Philadelphia, from a mound in Ohio. .He explained all its characteristics, and then .called up the old chief and interpreter, and sshowed the identity with their heads. . He then compared k and their heads with that of Lucy, and established thera all as of the same type. . . He then' handled a negio skull and demonstrated clearly the peculiarities, aid showed by comparison the marked dinerence between them. He explained the prominent differences in the anatom ical structure of tiie different partsof the body, and gave an exceedingly m terestinj; account ot tne .distinction in the hair of the Caucasian, Indian and negro races. He stated a very curions fact, as resulting from microscopical ob servation, that in rnulatto cross the. hair of one or the other parent was present and sometimes hair of both, but never a mongrel hair ; that no, amalgamate hair existed : that as often the -inuHatto had straight hair as kinky. He stated that the- microscope reArea!ed that the hair of the white race "was, when trans versely divided oval, that of the lu-lian circular," and that of tire negro eccent rically elliptical, with flattened edges that of the negro was not liair, but wool, and capable of being felted ; that the coloring matter of true hair was an in ternal tube, while iu the negro it was in the epikermis or scales covering the shaft of the hair, - In corroboration of his statement that both white and negro hciir were sometimes found m the same bead, a singular case was mentioned in my hearing, by Dr. W. He staited that he once attended a half- breed Indian and negro, who had" straight Indian Lair. He was ill, and . bad bis bead shaved and 'blistered. On bis re covery, when his hair grew out, it was ne gro hair, enspe and wiry. - These are very curious facts, and of much importance in the distinction of ra ces. The counsel of the plaintiff proposed and insisted on Dr. Gibbes to give the facts as to the hair of grades of blood ; but he said he bad not examined by the micros cope any bat the half breeds. It is to be hoped that full investigation will be -made of tbts subject, and the facts published. On the whole, the evidence set forth by Dr. (jibbes was extremely, interesting, and developed some facts I never beard before. There has been but one opinion expressed in relation to it. .. The jury decided in favor of the girl's being Indian, and she left . Columbia next day with the old chief, on her way to Ar kansas, to her parents and friends. Gov. Means was so convinced that the girl was Indian that be was heard to say that, if the case was decided against her, he would buy her and set her free. This feejing seemed to pervade the community, and it is more than probable that had the case been decided against her, the citizens would have freed her.

The follow-ifig: ts (lie gpcech of the Em peror of France, on the opening of the Le gislative Assembly, alluded to fn our last : MeBiieuri Ics SenAleurs, Messieurs les Depates: Since your last meeting1 great deeds have htttl accomplished. The ap peal which I made to (he country to defrny the expense of (he waf was so well respond ed to that the result has surpassed nfy hopr-s. la the Baltic as in the Olack Sea, our arms have been Victorious. Two pre I battler have added renovn to our standard. Tlie intimacy of our relation with England hrn been brilliantly attested. Tha English Parliament have voted thanks to our gen erals and to our soldiers, A great empire, made young again by the chivalrous sen timents of its Sovereign, has detached itself from the power which for forty years ltnn menaced the independence of Europe. : The Emperor of Austria hns concluded a treaty defensive today, offensive pcrlmpi to-morrow which unites his cause wiili that of France and England. Thus, gentlemen, as the war Is prolong ed the number of our allies increase, nnl the ties already formed become clovcf. For what ties are, in fact, more secure thnn the names of victories shared by the twit armies, and recalling- a common glory, the same anxieties and the same hope agita ting the two countries, and the same aim and the same intentions animating the tu n governments in all parts of the globe? Thus the alliance with England is not dm effect of a mere passing interest orof politi cal expediency, but it is the union of iwu powerful nations associated for the triumph of a cause in which for more than a centu ry their own greatness, the interests of civ ilization, and the liberty of Europe nro ut tho same time involved. Join inr, ihn, on the solemn occasion, in thanking here, and in, the name of France, the Parliament for its cordial and warm demonstration, ami the English nrmy and its esteemed chief tor tfjetr valiant co operation. icxt ycur, should peace not be established, 1 hope i" obtain the assistance of that CJeruiuny whose union and prosperity we desire. I am happy in paying u just tribute ot praise to the army and Heel, who, by their devotion and discipline, in the south as in France, have nobly answered iny expecta tions. - Tho army of the East has hitherto borne and overcome everything disease, fire, tempest and privation, a city constant Iy revictualled, defended by a formidable artillery on land and sea, and two hostile armies superior to us in numbers, have been powerless to weaken its courage or to hub due its spirit. Ench man nobly 1 i t hit duty, from ihe Marshal, who 'seemed t i have farced death to wait till he had eon quered, to (he private toldieror sailor, whorrj last cry in expiring was a prayer for France, and a cheer for his country. I,e l us, then, together proclaim lhat the nrmy and the fleet deserve well of the country. War, it is true, brings with it cruel fi.ici i fices, yet. everything bids nie pusth it on with vigor, and for this purpose 1 count upon your assistance. The army nt pros, ent consists of 518,000, soldiers nnd 1 13,000 horses, and the navy of G2.000 sailors, afloat. It is indispensably nrceesury to Veep this force in an effective state; and to fill up the vacancies occasioned by the an nual discharge and by the war, 1 shall ask of you, as I did lasl year, a levy of U0V000 men. A law will be brought before yo'i for ameliorating the position of soldiers n enlisling without increasing ihe expense; it willbe of immense sdvnmage to increase tho number of veteran soldiers in the army, and lo allow in future the weight of the conception to be diminished. 1 hope that this law will soon meet with your appro val. .. - I shall demand of you authority to con' elude a new national loan. Although this measure will increase the publie debt, wo must not forget that by tho conversion of the Rentes the interests of the debt has been reduced by 21 1-2 millions. The ob ject of my efforts is to placo the expendi ture on a level witn trie receipts, and tho ordinary budget to be preset ted to you will be found in equilibrium, whilo the resour ces of the loan, will suffice to meet the de mands of the war. You will see with pleasure lhat our revenues have not diminished, thai indus trial enterprise is sustained, that all the great works of public utility are continued, aod lhat Providence Las graciously given us a harvest sufficient for our wants I he Government, nevertheless, does not close its eyes to the uneasiness caused by the dearness of provisions, but hns taken every measure in its power Xo pwent ana Jighlen this uneasiness, and has founded in several places, new elements of work. I be contest which is going on, restrain ed as it is by moderation und justice, al though it causes the heart, to beat, lias caused so little alarm to the commercial interest that the different partsof the globe will soon bring together here all the fruits of peace. Foreigners cannot but bo struck with the remarkable spectacle of n country which, counting on the divine protection, sustains with energy a war at six hundred leagues from its frontiers, and which devcl opes with equal ardour Us internal riches a country where war does not prevent agriculture and industry from prospering, nor the art from flourishing, and where tho genius of the nation shows itself in everthing which can bring glory to France. The Imperial speech was frequently in terrupted by acclamations from every part of the hail, and terminated amid repeated shouts of "Vive P Empereur." The speech was highly praised; but it caused a slight depression of the funds in Franco and England. A. II. VBom.i. W. A- M. VCow.e. VJLB0RKELEN & BR0TIIE It, . W1MINUTON, N. C.
