JfASBT. The Blosraplij of a Dead Nigger, who was FooDsA I nonsb to Insist lrpon Being Free The Result or Bis Folly IFrom the To'edo B'ade. POST-OFFIS. COSrtDK T X ROADS,") (Which is in the Statt uv Kentucky.) January 19, 18. ) Last nitthe body uv a nisrger wuz found dead at the eend uv Boregard Avenue the main street uv.the Cross Roads. Tb poor cuss wuz rolled up agin the fence, a lyin on hi? face, ez dead ez Joolius Ceeser. I dhkivered him. At fust I- thot the fellow wuz drunk, ez I jlidn't see his face, it bein a common occurrence to find our citi

zens in that sitooashen, but on turnin him over, and ascertainin the color uv his? comDlexion. I knowd that wuz not what ailed hiin. Heheddieduv starvashen. and cold, and sich. I knowd that nigaer. He was wunst the property uv Elder Gavitt, now deceest, and Wuz altogether too sooperior a nigger to tjuietly take wot wuz his normal condishen, and settle down to his fate. -.He resembled the Elder very much. - His mother wuz a mulatto woman? and 7ez her son developed it was observed that he 'hedthe Gavitt pekooliaritles or feecher, in a striking degree. -Mrs. Gavitt raised a ruckshen about it, but the Elder conyinct her that it wuz all right. He cited her to the physiologicleiact that the resemblance okkurred coz uv the mother's seein the Deekin so often before the birth of the child. It's my opinion'Hhat that wuz the case. At all event he hed very much uv the enterprise of the Gavitts.: Wunst afore the war ha run away to'Injeanany, and was, recapchered only after a desprit chase, and that chase by the entire Democratic Marshals uv that State. He was finallyrun down and sent back in triumph. -'- The mi d it the war broke out, this cussid one-fourth nigger run away agin. He made the camp near the Cross Roads, but glory! the Fedral usurpers hed ez yet a little shame left into em, and the Kernel to whose regiment hemade his" way, sent him back to tb Elder under gard, with his compliments, accompanied by a note statin wthat the FedraF armies wuz a fitin for the Yoonyun et it wuz, and that it wpz proposed not to interfere with property - in .ny way. The Elder wuz so effeeti by this gejorosity that that nite and the next he only bushwhacked three uv the Fedral pickits, instid uv layia out all nite for em ez he hed bin accustomed to. do. 1 rr : 2 But finallsJhe Emancipashen Prdclamashen come, and the nigger run agin. The Elder heerd uv him frekently. He3ined a nigger regiment, fought doorrn the warwuz wouncfid in sevral spots, and narfowly escaped the just retfibooshen inflicted oito em at Fort fPiller. Ats the lose'of the war he went to Ohio'with his wife and two children, but he didnot remain there. 4t wuznt plfiscnt.for him. There wuz suddin coolin- towards f.he riRffer, and he feifc it. -Ez they didn't need em any niorte to fill quo tas and save em trom the dratts and sich, the colored brother "wuz thle same d d ngger he always wuz. Somewhat disgustid, pertiklerlwez when he enlisted he ruz creditid to Ohio, he Ireturned to Kentucky, determined fj fite it oui here. The Cross Roads received him quietly. Je saved a little money outiuv the servis, and bought some land up toaf(Js OarrettstowB and bunt onto it a cab in. ' Somehow the .world didn't ""go smooth with him. One niie his fences wuz torn down and"growih cvoyi wuz destroyed. Iremejiy thereatter, h wuz arrested tor hevtlri no visiblemeans of support, hifl crops bein at gone, and it took hra mule and a part uv his household furnitoor to it out uv that. Fof lowiD this micforchoon came anoth.. er. tie wuz,." at the L-orners one day, when Issaker Gavitt, ia a pla? iut mooa, snot at mm wun a revatyerwich thenigger resented4"chokin Issa'cer severely. The blood uv the Corners riz. A nigger had raised his impious Ijand agin a white man! lmmejetly th4 Corners became indigaated, andtthe nigger wuz kept under the fowo pump lorT' tw.(3 hours. A severe cold resultin, h was eonfined-p) his bed a month with fever doorin-wich time he grt into other trouble.- His out houses wuz burned to the ground, his hogs wag killed, and even his chickens wua Imassacreed. Ie wuz skarsely recov? ered from tnis- nt uvsicknis, when hra wife wuz inet-;by Issaker Gavitt at thi? Corners, wher she had gone, to ge medicine for him. Issaker, smartiur under the choltin her husband h adgiven him, organized a raid onto hejt and I must eonfess she was yoosed rather rough. .The youns menuv the; Corners are excentric. The w6man was;found dying next mornin in a barn. ' From this bfbw he never recovered He hed laid; a long time, and he owed quite a number uv bills -at tht Corners, wich ie cood not pay.- At-" tachments wuz'got out agin hisrproperty, and it wua sold from under him, and ez he wuzlnot able to work, wat wuz OTer wuz held by the trustees uv the township x bail agin his becomin a township charge. Capt. MoPelter bottiie place, and ez it wuz hizzen, be wantid it. The nigger wuz turned out, and he wandered about a few days aperient not in his righrxnind, and finally wi found ez I her. described. DeadThe wuz. and wtappiu him ini the bloo cote in wich wj found him, a hole wuz dugLandJueJjfcnx.hid; from mortal site. ' 'Sich is the froots uv emancipahenf When that gge Wuzdugunder, $1,500 worth uv Elder Gavitt's estate wuz put out uv the way. His death

lies at the door uv A. Linkin! Hed that nigger bin permitted to hev staid with his kind mastert and devoted his life , to his servis this would not hev happened. Hed he bin permitted to hev continyood workin, workin, workin, quietly and comfortably, satisfied with , his two soots of cloze per annum, and the rashens given em, he wood not hev, died misrably by the roadjside- For when the nigger wa9 in ,his hormal condishen he wuz not. the objic -uy dislike he now is.; Ther.. wuz, then ao . war uv races. The -feelin that impelled the Caucashen uv , the Corners to go thro his crops , and burn his hoases and sich, did ;QOt t then . exist, for he hed no crops nor houses. ' He wood hev bin worked till old aee overtook him. ez

it does1 all uv us, and then he wood hev bin ' sold South, to end his days quietly in a rice swamp. Sich is the bitter troots uv raisin em trom tner normal condishen. The site uv that dead n;gger satisfied me that under no circumstances cood the race be elevatid to the pint uv goin on without the protecshen uv a superior race. There is a ', irrepressible . conflick atweeii, the races, and the nigger must alluz be the loser. Sich 13 the will uv the Lord. r Pexrqieum V, Nasby, P. M.,, r ; , ! , (Wich ia Postmaster). .
