    Mils Greenfield, the Vocalist.
The remarkable and accomplished
act i4, whose name stands at the head
o f this article, was born a slave at
Natchez, Mississippi, in the year 1823;
but under circumstances more favora
ble than often attends the lot of servi
tude, Her mother was of Indian de
gent, her father
,an - African. Her
mistress, Elizabeth Greenfield, whose
name she bears; was Welch by birth,
a nd in religious profession a member
of the Society of Friends. Having
come into the possession of the family
property, this energetic woman formed
the resolution of emancipating her
slaves and sending them to Liberia,
the settlement of which had then just
been commenced. This she did, her
felf accompanying, them, seeing them
comfortably established, and sending •
out to them. after her return to Phila
aclphia, where she herself settled,
a bundant supplies. Miss G reentield's
m other and two sisters were among
these einigrants, and are still living
'comfortably in Liberia. Miss Green
field herself; being only a year old,
having been named for her mis
tress, remained with her, was brought .
up, with her family in Philadelphia.
She received only a very plain educa-
Aion, according to Quaker ideas, and
was not taught or even suffered to
learn music at all, that being a thing
not approved by Fi iends. At the age
o f about twenty-one, having lost her
adapted mother, who made a moderate
pro ‘ ision for her by will, she then
undert4n.k the superintendance of a
gentleman's family, a neighbor and old
ac quaintance of Mrs. Greenfield, and '
from his .eldest daughter she learnt to
play the piano, and acquired some
knowledge of music, of which she
heramc a teacher. Two or three
years ago she was induced by some
whom she met While on a visit
m Western New-York, to give a con- •
cut at Buffalo. This proved success
ful, and after an equally suceestfill
stir thmuigin most of the Northern
cities, she embarked for Europe.—;
There she was everywhere received
with great kindness, and had enjoyed ,
and improved many opportunities of I
iu.ical cultivation. Her concert furl
the benefit of Mi. Grimes's church is
t o be repeated, we understand. on
Friday evening. No lover of music
,luild fail to attend.

SETTLEMENT OF KANSAS-A FEW V
.110VE.
A wide field for thought is opened by the
following, which we copy from the Roches
ter 26nerican:.
Frederick Donglas' paper of last week
broaches and advocates at some length, its
plan for the settlement ofthe new Territories.
It is for meeting the South on its own broad
est platform, and inasmuch as they claini the
right to carry their slaves to Kansas -- a class
of population obnoxious to Northern freemen
—so the journal to which we refer, urges the
part settlement of Kansas by free- colored
people—a class of population obnoxious to
slaveholders. This is filing a " cross bill "
with a vengeance, and one that would cover
much new matter. The idea is not bad and is
worth the reflection of the white and colored
inen who are really in earnest, in efforts to
elevate and improve the free colored popula
tion ,of the North. The bane of the free
negro has been his gregarious character—his
eternal lingering in cities and large towns,
his determination, dogged and sullen, to meet
no higher destiny than the lowest class of em
ployment offered in cities. This keeps him
degrade:d and poor, makes him a prey to dis
ease and suffering, and gives reason for the
statistics that show that his race decreases in
freedom. lie is rarely found a tiller of the
soil—rarely a mechanic or a trader; but ever
tv. waiter, not less upon the white man than
upon Providence. To send a body of inteili
gent, active, industrious free colored men to
Kansas, and set them to clearing up and im
proving that new conter2,-; would be to com
mence the solution of a new problem in the
destiny of that race. If they may colonize
and civilize Africa, they may'do the same for
Kan-a- and Nebrask...
Free colored men have tried the experi
ment of farm life - in Canada, and if the best
report speaks trite, with success.. Five years
ago, the settlement of Buxton, in Canada
West, was an unbroken wilderness. Four
years ago it had 15 persons fresh from shivery
in Loniiiania. Now it has upon its Ihiuo acres
some 7001_I setts, and all speak of the thrift
and good fortune on em ery hand. The allegro
is certainly competent to the duties and trials
of a new country.
Of course, a thousand or more free negroes
in Kansas, would he allowed to core the
character of the institution which the new
State shall have. " Squatter Sovereignty,"
and " Popular Sovereignty," as expressed by
Gen. Cass and Stephen A. Douglas would at
once be invoked in this behalf. It would he
pn,hing this " popular right's" business to its
extreme, but it would doubtless go, and some
of its advocates would "go to the wall"
with it. ts:
PRESERVING FRUITS IN VACUUM
Joel L. Green,' of Cincinnati, has in
vented and has on exhibition in this
City, a method of sea!ing 01 soldering
cans or bottles - of fruit while in the
receiver of an air-pump. The receiv
er may be likened to a big iron pot
turned bottom-up upon an iron 'bed-
Vate with ag: ou;:d joint. There are
three glass windows, through which
whateN'er is inside can be seen. In
the centre of the convex part of the
receiver, there is a universal ball joint,
and through that a sliding rod, to the
lower end of which a heated solder
ing iron is attached, by which the cans
can be soldered whenever the gauge
shows that the air is properly ex
hausted' by the working of the
air
_pump. Within the receiver there is
a coil of steam pipe, by which any
degree. of hcaE can be obtained.
The apparatus will not be expen
sive, and will be useful to fruit grow
ers, as it will enable them toiltut up
fruit in that best of all wary, flry . ex
hausting: the air, by which it can be
kept without sugar, and without cook
ing enough to destroy the natural
flavor. Butter, eggs, meat, and :un
dry other articles of food can be pre
served for an indefinite time by ex
cluding the air. This invention will
be useful for any pUrpose of working
vacua in where it is necessary to..see
and manipulate the article.—nibunc.
ROBBING A HEN ROOST.—JaMCSLII
- of Orange C 0.," Virginia, writes
to the Richmond I\ - e./es that sione one
of his neighbOrs has been robbing his
hen roost—a night amusement very
common in the slave States. HO closes
his account of tho fowl transaction
thus:
In the mornin we found out that sum
feller had' been kommittin a salt on
Gran mar'spoultry. and several other
hO. Mr. Edvtur ; when I gazed
aroun upon the wreck of matter and
the crash of chickens, I war led to
'sclaim in the language of the Poit'
whar he sez—l feels most like a feller
who treds alone sum "banquet hall de
serted, whose lights are ded, whose
gals am fled, and all 'ceptin him and
a Ole rooster and a few defunct hens
departed—Yes, sir, thar sot the nybil
old foul like melancholly on a rock
laughing at Patience, as Mr. Shaks :
peare sez in his 'Pistle to the Itushuns.
That ar war Gran mar's favorit rooster,

THE LADIES AND Gov.- Scrstocit.—
The holies of Rochester, including the
wives of fourteen clergymen; twenty
physicians, and some 150 citizens,
have addressed a scorching letter to
Gov. Seymour on the subject of his
veto of the Maine Law. The Gov
ernor is handled--as he deserves to be.
Of the eight or nine members com
posing the editorial corps of gavanna
at the commencement of slimmer,
only one remains at his post. Otte
has died, and the rest have been com
pelled by the unhealthiness of the city
to leave it.

Southern
The 'Columbus Esjoirer (Georgia)
gives the hdloiving account of certain
proceedings of the Methodist Episco
pal Church, South, at its recent Gene
ral Conference:
" Conference then commenced its
afternoon session,' and among its first
movements was the expunging of the
9th section from the discipline of the
church, and other portions of said
work wherein the institution of slavery
was condemned. But one vote was
recorded against the abrogation of the
9th section, which makes it imperative
upon ministers of that church
. to con
sider slavery as an evil; and upon the
test of expunging the rule relative to
the slave-trade' proper, the vote Was
47 for, to 54 against wiping it out of
the book.
"An effort was made on Friday
morning to reconsider this vote, but it
did not succeed, and the rule adverse
to an engagement in - the traffic of
slaves solely_ for gain or speculation
vet remains in its original force in the
discipline.
" But the bold, decisive stand taken
by Conference upon the subject of
slavery as it exists in the South, will
meet with the approbation of all its
co-workers in the Gospel throughout
the bounds of its jurisdiction, and re
ceive from every friend• of the rights
of the South a hearty and cordial com
mendation, as well as a firm and united
support."
Forty - seven Methodist ministers
voting
for the slave trade! Shade of
John Wesley ! What think you of this
approval of the "sum of all villainies"?
Only one voted that slavery is an evil !
Thus does this foul curse blight even
the purest and noblest feelings of man,
and in their tasseled pulpits, these
blasphemers
"Torture the piges of the hallowed Bible,
To eauction crime, and robbery and blood."

TRUE AS THE BOOK.
The tree is not more certainly
known by its fruit, than a town or
city by its newspapers. A growing
city, with . anintelligent, enterprising,
thrifty population, will send out well
conducted, well-p inted - newspapers,
crowded with advertisements, saying
to every stranger who picks theni up :
"See bow sleek, well fed and tat our
people make us, and infer, hence, how
prosperous, full-handed, and liberal
our. people themselves must be."
How different a story is told by pa
•pers of another kind. 'When you
open a dull little sheet, that looks as
if it had been printed with sour apple
butter for ink; with six lines of edit :
orial matter, preceding an imploring ,
notification that " the publisher now
calls for.. the last time on those Who
wish to pay for their subscription in
wood;" with faw paying advertise
ments but thhse ofthe Sheriff, offering
to sell real estate "at two-thirds of
its appraised value:" when you open
a sheet of this kind, coming from a
town you never saw, what is your con
clusion? Is it not that the place has
"gone to grass" and better be fenced
in 41)1. pasture? Would you be likely
to think of going there to invest
money or do business I—Dayton (0)

AN ANECDOTE.—We dined with a
citizen 'who enjoys a good- joke.—
Among others he related one of a
Yankee and and Dutchman, who,
when discussing politics, wotind up
on the relative merits of Seward and
Bouck, both ex-Governors of the Em
pire State. 'Says Yankee, "Bouck has
riots° long a head as Seward." "Veil,"
says Dutchee in a huff, " By cot, Sew
ard's head is not' half as thick as
Butick's."—Ex.
Henry A. Wise, who has just been
nominated as 'the ' dimocratic' candi
date for Governor of Virginia, says
he is in favor of the Nebraska bill
because it " repeals the Missouri Com
promise and thrtifies Slavery." He
is more honest than NOrthern demo
crats.
