Strange Accounts from Liberia The Farmvillef(Va.) Journal notices the return from Diberit of two slaves who were emancipated by the late John Watson, of Prince Edward county. The coin of 84,000 stay left by Mr. Watson to carry sixtrof his slaves to that Republic. They givoia 'very discouraging account of the trip out and their treatment after they arrived. The Journal says : Before leaving the ship, the ;gent of the Colonization Society indinied the emigrants to purchase quantities. of cheap Calico, brass . rivelry,lx , assuring them that they would need such articles in their dtw home, hut on their arrival. they found that they had been deceived and defr&uded out of their. money. The provisions carried out for their heliport for the first six mouths were sold dally before their eyes, and they were com pelled to buy provisions every day, (AA of , very inferior quality and insufficient in quantity.' The agent employed by the Seri , city would AICII to the bakers, and the ba kers to the emigrants— their own provisjois --at exorbitant prices, the agent receiving part of the profits. On their ar rival they only received a half acre of land, instead of the flee acres prom ised, They found provisions at exorbitant prices, and a good deal of bad treatment lwsides from the authorities. They allege that the President of the colony, if not cu• gaged in the slave trade, connives at it. They have returned to slavery, believing that freedom to the negro in Africa is the greatest curse that 'could pmeribly befall him ; and that had the Liberians the means of getting away sever.-eights of them would gladly return to the United States and serve the hardest masters to be found in the South, feeling that the condition of the slave here is far preferable tt of the most favored of the ir) nhalato , • • Tia Sentence for Slave ling. lb._ W,u R Ilayhs, Captain of the schooner Kemal), arresttil at Petersburgh, Ka., con victed of attempting to carry away slaves on Iris vessel, was lielitenCt:ti on Saturday last to forty years imprisonment, as follows The judgment of the court is that under the l i il d inc o (y d+t~ ymneni ek oefintictf tif the penitentiary of -thu State for the period of eight years, then/ to ho . ilbalt with as the lan Mt cctssizr !won expiration of that :wrst of ornellst, you ixill again be confined in the penitentiary for `the like term of eight years, at ascol4ined by the verdict of the jury upon the second indict- Illefit against 3 ini :and upon the expiration of that riled, you yell be again Confined in the penitentiary fillt‘ke like term of eight years, as ascertained by the verdict of the jury for the fourth indictment against you ; and upon the et piration t uf that period, you will be confined in thin penitentiary for the like term of eight years, as ascertained by the verdict of the jury for. the fifth indict ment, making in the whole the period of fur:.yr years, and your vessels, the Keziali, is forfeited to the conitionwealth. The trial of Captain Joseph J. Simpkins, on a similar charge, resulted in the jury's being unable to agree. They were dis charged, and the prisoner remanded to jail, until the next term of the Court. Truth in a Nutshell The Washington Union says that, what we have quarreled about since the organiza tion of the gov,rument, in point of fact, has been the 'imposition of slavery Ir. the public Territories. This question has been fierce ly discussed in Congress and throughout the North on oneside,.iiiiil the Sootlion the other ; and yet the North had no interest in it, no povdeitdeuide - it, no right to interfere with it. The South had no more just claim over it and authority to control it than the North• , i Congress had no business with it, could not hapc it, dislodge it, or prohibit it. The people of the Territories were its governors. They could create or abolish it when they came up to man's estate. Thus this flight fat abstrnctte+r-41no-lnitwcaLlo lonn_otcanr, tention —this litcicsa and inanimate spectre —has been permitted to overshadow all the ginat interests of the Union, and embroil to Industry of one section' against,tho oth- A " PAT" QUICETION.—In t jolly company, each one was to ask a quettion.

Suddenly he was dverwhelmed by pecuniary losses and embarrassments, chile the news spread as far as goittup tongues could report at. Strange to say, 'altho' his elegant mansion had to be saerilieqd, there *as not a debt that remained unpaid, Vi bile some money was yet kit with him.

After d—er we will make sonsealls, during which you will perceive some ample illustrations of it hat I have said.'' Accordingly, after dinner we set aut. We first entered the counting-room of a merchant, to whom he introduced one as a friend. 1 soon learned that my friend watt not held in the highest estimation, from the cold formality with which he was received. We did not even have the courtesy of chairs offered us. With a meaning h ank, Ray mond bade the merchant good afternoon, and we foimd ourselves in the street.

The lady treated us rather coolly, which I was prepared to see. After we were seated. Raymond in quired for Miss Richards, her daughter, to which the lady replied, with an apparent shrug of the shoulders, that she was well, but at present engaged. " No, mamma, I am not," said the beau tiful girl, as she lighly entered the roorn.— " I am ;nippy to meet an old friend who, am sure, is none the less welcome from be ing unfortunate." The lovers—for they really were—had not met since Raymond's misfortune, and their - meeting now was so heartfelt, that I could not for a moment doubt the affection of either.
