a GOOD EXAMPLE. Lkf.skvrgh, (Va ) Aug. 24. On Friday last passed through this town, t company of 54 blacks, formerly belonging to the estate of capt. L. Bacon of Henrico, near Richmond. These blacks were til freed by the will of capt R. who died about four years at;o They have since been hired out for the purpose of obtaining sufficient money to move them en mnsc to some more congenial ciimu, Where the iron rod of legal oppression will not bear so heavily upon them. They arc well clothed and decent, and vould be an acquisition to the new colony, contemplated this fall, and we believe there would be no difficulty in obia'ivnjr their consent. Two or three, with whom we have conversed on the subject, expressed a willingness to po and one other had no objection provided he could have his family, now in bondage, to go with him or, to use his own words, u I am willing to go anv wheic if 1 could have my wife and children to 'jjo with me." I his company is now on its way to Pennsylvania, where they intend to seek employment) we understand in the neighborhood of Little York. Qwrc would it be amiss for some of the warm devotees to the colonization scheme, to propose n plan for preparing the minds of these lately emancipated children of oppression, for cmitratin to the coast of Africa, by truing them such a view of the blessings of liberty and self q-ovcrnmrnt, as shall awaken in them a desire for the time to approach that will waft them to the shore where freedom for (htm dwells ?

More than a match fot the sra scrie t. M Henderson has discovered, in New Siberia, the claws of a bird, measuring each a yard in length ; and the Yakuts assured him thev had freCjuently, in their hunting excursions, met with skeletons and feathers of this bird) the quills of which were laie enough to admit a man's arm. This is a strong fact in support of the tradition that the caith was formerly inhabited by giants for men not exceeding ourselves in stature would have been helpless against birds of prey of this magnitude. C apt. Coek mentions having seen a monstrous bird's nest in New Holland, on a low sandy island in Endeavor river, with trees upon it, and an incredible number of sea fowl ; he found also an eagle's nest with ovtngones, which he killed) and the nest of some other bird of most enormous size. ; it was built with large sticks in the ground, and was not less than 26 feet in circumference, and 2 feet 8 inches high.

From the Ploughby firinted at Albany. GOO). Gen. MClnre has established a woollen factory at Hath) Steuben county) and invites the farmers to bring in thei' wool ; engaging that he will afford them cloth fine enough for dandies. T'c has got Brewster's lately invented spinning machine ino use by water power) with which a girl of i0 rears old ran attend 256 spindies, and spin 100 pounds of wool in a dav. With this machine wool may be spun extremely fine and even ; and one hand can perform as much as can be performed by 9 or 10 hand jennies. So much for an American invention. This excellent machine ought to be generally put in operation. I will prove immensely beneficial to this country.
