Prom the New York Obeerver A MOTHER'S SELF SACRIFICE There is hardly another town in Vermont so forbidding in its features as the town of Stratton Situated on the summit of the preen Mountains, t . cold, unfertile, and bu pattially reclaimed from 'the forest primeval,' it is almost the last place where Quo would fook.for anything grand or heroic But in that wild region, which then was even wild er than it noW is, there occurred, forty-four years ago to day, all instance of u.aternal self • siierdice well worthy to be recorded in the "book of golden deeds." On'the_evening of the 20th of December, 182,1, Mr. Denison 11. Blake, of Marlboro, Vt., with his wile, a young woman of about .'.`years of ago, and their infant daughter of 7 mouths, was returning home front Sa lent, N Y., whither they had been on a vis it, Before they reached the summit of the Wreen Mountains they were overtaken by violent snow storm and a furious wind, which heaped up the snow in drifts so deep as to be almost_ impassable. The already tired horse struggled through the drifts till his streugth was quite exhausted, and-at 10 P. M., he could go no further. Mr.. Blake, be ing convinced that they must all r elish be fore Morning unless help' were procured, made his wife and child as comfortable as possible, and left them there while he %soot fur help. But the nearest li6uso on that rood was four miles distant, and Mr Blake's strength gave out long before he li id traversed half the distance. About 11 o'clock his cries for help were board by a resident of Stratton, but they were supposed to comp from a per son who had previously disturbed.* neigh borhood by his drunken howlings, and no attention was paid to them. In the mean time, Mrs. Blake, becoming alarmed at, his protracted uhsenee, took the child and at tempted to follow him. But the snow dash ed in her face, - the piercing wind chilled her through and through, and soon became ev ident that mother and child must soon per ish, unless the child's life could be prolong ed by the shortening of her own. She did not hesitate atilt°, sacrifice ) but 'faking off tier r gitrmeatiOthe—w-ritp-ped-thoni-a round the child, laid it down on the snow, and expended the brief remainder of her life and strength in struggling towards 14er-hus band " ,The next day it was ascertained that the cries which were heard in the ulght came from some other than-their supposed iource, , and a party of men Started to the rescue.— It watt not till nearly noon that they. reached Mr. Blake, alive, and crawling on his elbows and knees, but with feet and hands badly frozen. He made known the circumstance in which ho had left his wife and .child, and IWorovriellPexper , r 101 b eriatinstil. irs , I*corliticsEs and Roligio~i. a portien pressed on. to their relief. About half a mile fUrther on they folud Mri Blake, a frozon'corpso, and not•far be. yond was the child uoVered with snow, but. alive and uninjured, save that one or two -of its fingers were frosthitten The offices -of charity to the living and the dead were faith fully perfoiemed. Mr.. Blake, after a long period of suffering and the loss of parts of both feet, recovered from the injury sustain. ed on that fearful night. The child, whose life was preserved by so great a sacrifice, suffered no material detriment and grow up to womanhood. The circumstances wore soon made known in the newspapers, and Soba Smith, then in the full vigor of his poetical genius embalm. ed them in a poem, which was very 'populat with the men and women of the past gener ation. It will bear to be reproduced : The cold winds svlrept the mountain height, And pathless was the dreary wild, Antl''lnid the cheerless hours of night A mother wandered with her child ; AR through the drifting snow she pressed, The babe was sleeping on her breast. And colder still the winds did blow, And darker hours of night come on, And •Icepor grow the drifting snow: Bur limbs were chilled, her strength was gone; 410 h, hied !" she cried, in accents wild, "111 must• perish, mice mythibl." She stripped her mantle from her breast, And bared her bosom to the storm, And round the child she wrapped the rest, And smiled to think her babe wan warm With one cold kiss, one tear she shed, And sunk upon a snowy bed. A t do wn a travelef cattle' by, And saw her •neeth n snowy vial,. The &Oat of death was in her eye, Her cheek was' cold, end hard, and pale; He moved the robe that wrapped the child, . The babe looked up and sweetly smiled. Alter considering such an not of maternal love and self-sacrifice as this, what force and beauty there appears in the language in which Clod expressos his love to his redeemed chil dren : a woman forgot her sucking child, that she should not — have compassion on the son of her womb?

Correopondotico of the Ching° Repot!lkon.] • JACKSON, Miss., Deo. 80.—Some time since the newspapers briefly noticed the per petration by the whites of an outrage upon negroes. at Shangola,. Carroll.eounty, in this State.. 'An investigation was ordered by Major- General Wood, commanding Department of Mississippi. From official reports just re ceived from the Officers conducting this in vestigation, I am permitted to condense the following account: A number of colored families wore, occu pying several buildings at Shangalo, for which they have paid rent from time to time. The owner of Ott- building was well pleased with his tenants, and nothing could be al leged against them,' exceptthat they wore "free niggers" and 'living alone." This simple fact seemed to sting the pride of cer tain slavocrittn and liberty haters. They threatened the negroes with burning out, and on one occasion white mon gathered a round the buildings-and-endeavored by fir ing guns and revolvers to frighten them a way. Those threats and menaces were una vailing. The negroes still remained. On the eveuing.of the 25th - of — November they had- a- quilting party, followed by--a dancing party. About ten or eleven o'clock, while all were enjoying themselves very pleasantly, about twenty white men sudden ly surrounded _the buildings and sot them on tire, and refused egress to all the inmates.— Shots were fired into the burning buildings. Great consternation , prevailed. It is not known that any, failed to eseape 'from the 'buildings, mostly by breaking through the windows. Notwithstanding so horrible a fright and excitement, acme had presence of mind enough to endeavor to save somubun dies of clothing or other' property. These were seized by the white men, and thrown back into the flames. Ono man, in 'escap ing, called to a woman, saying, "Follow me, there is no danger this way." "—you, I'll show you whether there's danger," said a white man. . lie shot. The negro fell. His dead or wounded body was picked .up and thrown into the flumes. To further show the des perate anti potty malignity of these incar nate fiends, they caught and burned the poll!. try of these poor people, and shot the fat !toga in the pen. Without shelter, without food, without clothing, except what was on their persons, they took refuge in an old a• bandoned church. This, too, was burned.— ng'ful ly• posse - a,ced — ortli — e — Aevil, to com plete their iniquitoussearnival, they caught an uneffending and favorite servant boy and cut his throat, with intent to kill. But, as if to be a living monument of these infernal deeds, be still survives, and his ghastly wounds aro slowly healing. This midnight auto-dale and butchery 'seemed to be generally acquiesced in." What a fearful, deplorable state of morals do not these acts denote! Could savages be. guilty of more dreadful crimes? What must the enlightened and Christian world think of the public sentiment of such . a community? This cut•throat barbarism! this riot of fiends! not simply tolerated, hat approved!! We stand appalled at the damning atrocity of'. uuli crimes; but more at the moral sentiment of a community which lends to such crimes a sanction.

To shield the scoundrels of Shangalo, the civil authorities went through the farce of no investigation. The coroner's jury could neither distin guish the "ago, race or Hex" of the man burn ed; and decided that he came to his death "from Home cause unknown " Enlightened, sagacious and Uhristiau verdict! hive forev er, ye illustrious jurors!
