A Nut for Sumner. —It has sometimes been said that slavery was nowhere on this continent ostanlished by absolute written, law, but only, by usage, became law. We wond*er whether Mr. Sumner or Mr. Greeley can tell whether the extract which follows was taken from the archives of South Carolina or from those of Massachusetts: There shall never be any bond slavery, villanage, nor captivity among us, unless it be lawful captives taken in jast wars, and such strangers as willingly sell themselves or are sold unto us: > and these shall have all the liberties and Chrstian usages which the law of God established in Israel requires. An affecting scene took place in court in Washington, a few days since, in the trial of Tuell for the murder of his wife. The only witnesses to the deed were the little ehildern, the oldest of whom is a Lid of ten years old. When brought into court the scene was inexpressible affecting. The boy is unusually intelligent, and gave his convicting testimony with suppressed sobs. while his father wept convulsively with such intensity as to interfear at times with the proceeding. The Judge as all present manifested great emotion particularly in his examination ot theboy preparatory to putting him on the stand.—[N. A Ledger An hones/ man never accuses his neighbors without proof.

I J Dr. Roback’s Constituents. We learn that the distinguished and popular inventor of those famous Scandinavian Remedies '.he Blood Pills! and Blood Purifier, advertised in our | business columns n-Reives nearly as manv i letters by every mail as the Treasury Department. The average is more than | 200 per day! His patients scattered over ' the broad West the Southern States and! New England are said to reach the en-1 ormous and almost incredible aggregate! of 100,000! By his patients we mean ! those who use his preparations as their only medicines We persume that such a connection is without a parallel in Medical history.
