NATIONAL CONTENTION Or BASICS.
tji i » k Stu\Ks at Cincinn vri! — The
.National lUby Convention which took
place yesterday attracted people adults
and babies from nil pnitn of the I * tiion. No
less than 1*2000 visited the fair all of whom
eeented to lie excited an to the dinplav of
innocence awl infantile beauty. The tiov !
i.jtv of the exhibition was of itself sufficient
to create a general interest but to this was
added thief services ot silver plate as priz es.
The managers of the "show" appeared to
!>•• tnken aback at the general interest taken
in the affair. They had supposed that their
liberal premiums would not tempt more '
than a d.. tt babies or so ami had made |
arrangements accordingly. I'en o'clock
yestertfhy morning convinced them that
they had underrated " the importance ol
tin* occasion." Devoted mothers and dnating
lathers with their little pets in their arms
came pouring into the Fair grounds
each no doubt confident of leaving with
one ol'thc pri/.os. A small canvass tent had
been assigned as the receptacle ol the en
tries and into that mothers babies ami
: iriM-M were ushered by gentlemen wealing
rosctts upon their b.easts. Hoon there
u as " music w itbin."
\stonished probably at finding them*
«. |ves in " mass riveting assembled" the
little ones sent up n cry which shook the
canxass top and pierced the ears of the
people. In vain did the brass hand toot
t!i' ir instruments to drown if possibl .

The tent pn »entcd a novel nmiisini: mid

together was novel; to note the maternal

wr* amusing and to «»azo upon their inno*
cent lares and purest of charm.* was cer
lainly interesting.
I iii rv sal a lliomer nor cvu mrrnni m-

which lay in her lap. Ilv her sat another
holding up proudly a lovely little* girl whose
flaxen curls and sweet blue eyes wo .Jr.
soften ths'heart of tin* greatest baby hater
in Christendom Next to her was a nurse
endeavoring to quiet a stout black eyed
rosy-cheeked " one year old" who insists
on pulling the jet black ringlets ol' another
on* about bin own age. One ladv pointed
with pride to the chubby l?gs of her darling
boy while another glowingly reiered to the
delicate hut well I'ormed features of her
sweet babe. One boasted of having the
largest of its age; another of the sinaK
lest and smartest. Some of the babies
>H'UHHl to leel tli>ir importance on this oc*
'•asion and in spite of the most earnest
entreaties would be iit mischief and keep
up a continued noise Other* appeared
unwilling to " believe their eves" and lay
quietly in their mother's arms watching the
proceedings with apparent interest while
others insisted on hiding their innocent (a
ces in their mother's bosoms as if they
knew their refuge was tbeie.
Then the expression which fell on one's
esrs! " Tome to mud*4 >r's arm- tnudder'*
'ittle pet. Oh! you darling 'ittle toad!
Hless its 'ittle heart it shall have some

»nd an hundred more just such expres
•ions.
One bundled and twenty seven babie*
were entered for exhibition. \nd they
came from almort everywhere Several
' "unties including Hamilton of Ohio were
''rH represented md then 'here <• ■ re ha
biea front Indiana Louisiana Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts. We would publish the
names but for the serious protasis of (ho
parents who do not desire the world to
know that their babies entered for the prize
and did not get it. We appreciate their
feelings and submit to their request. In
such an immense crowd we could not with
any propriety get anything like a personal
description of the babies but we will mens
tion a tow which attracted general atten-
tion.
It was generally admitted that decidedly
the prettiest child on exhibition w«t» fron^
Cincinnati; the daughter of Mr. Henry
llo wo.
Large and fat children seemed to pre-
dominate. One from Indiana five months
old weighed twenty seven and a halt Mm
\nother four months old weighed twenty
pounds.
A pair of twins of Clark county attrac-
ted much attention. They were pretty
and as near alike as two peas.
An elderly lady was preseut with her
seventeenth baby only two months old
•She claimed nothing extraordinary in the
child but thought she was deserving of a
premium—and she certainly is.
The judges were a long time in their in
vestigations. After they had .etired the
mothers with their children in their arms
walked into the floral Hall where they
remained while the spectators crowded
past them to take a look at the babies.
This ended the great liaby Show—the first
but certainly not the last in Ohio.
Though tho " show " wan ended the
excitement was not over. Everybody
wanted to know the premium babies and
the judges were not ready to report. Some
ladies were sure that "this duck of a child"
or ttiat " love of a babv" would carry off*
the silver ware while every parent interes-
ted was sure ol a prize. I he judge* not
being able to commit without interruption
on the ground retired to the \nthonv
House in the city There they wore fol-
lowed by hundred* anxious to learn the
rusull.
'The session was a long one but about
(i o'clock in the evening the fiuaf decision
was made and the prizes awarded as fol-
lows :
l-'iist prize a splendid service of silver
plate including a I irg<< salver to the daugh-

A mil N1SORO COMMUNITY
Richard K«n«io||4i eldest brother of John
Randolph »f Roanoke Hied in the year
j I79H at " Bi/.arre" the name of the large
: estate bequeathed him by hia father John
Randolph senior ami lying on the hi ml
waters of the Ap|H»matoix river near tin*
j town of I'armviile Va. lie is represented
i to have been a man of talents scarcely in*
| ferior to those of his celebrated brother
and of extraordinary goodness of character.
Entertaining the opinion then general in
I the South and especially in Virginia that
slavery was a curse alike to master and to
| servant ; Mr. It liberated his servants by
i will and made ample provision for their
maintenance. Owing to pecuniary embar
rassments the provisions of the will were
riot carried into execution until fifteen years
afterwards and not until many of the slaves
lirid been sold to liipiidate tin* heavy mort*
gages which rested on the estate \bout
iNll.John Randolph who hud assumed
the tnr"agement of his brother's affairs re*
moved to the county of Charlotte and the
negroes variously estimated al from one
hundred to one hundred and liltv in num* i
ber entered upon the enjoyment of their
freedom.
A portion of the i»i/arre estate consisting
of three hundred and (illy (some say five
hundred) acres partially clear well timber
ed and well watered was divided into sec-
tions of fifty and twenty five acres ea^h
and upon these sections the various families
according to the number and age of tin-
individuals composing them were settled -
those having aged and infirm parent.* to
support received more and those not having
these incumbrances less land. Vl! wen
provided with means to build themselves
housi-s and with agricultural implements to
till the soil. 1'airlv Settled in the land of
promise tbe t'anaan to which they had
looked so longinglv for fifteen years tin y
gave it the name of " Israel Mill"- an ap-
pellation which explains the sanguine anti-
cipations and religiout lone which guided
them ti> it* choice No doubt they looked
forward to the time when Israel Mill should
bo a thriving and populous village ":\ cit\
set upon an lull shining gloriously to tin-
eyes of their brethren in bondage as did the
Delect able mountains to Runvati's Pilgrim.
Ileie then the\ were left to work out
their destiny and here indeed it ever it
was to have been expected that the Mrican
would thrive and prosper and lulfil the ex
p« rt;it i ns which prompted hi* noble master
to set the in free. Tbe conditions of the
experiment were pre eminently favorable tor

they win* not brought into competition with

expect that 'he litilo colony would have

Liberia would have become rich populous

tree States that the system ol parcel cul-
ture would have made every inch ol the

The traveler on the Southside Kailroad
passes through the centre of Israel lliil
without bemg aware of its presence. 1'he
few miserable huts which constitute the
village are not at/iactive enough to retain
hi* attention for more than a moment and
he passes on ignorant of the lesson which
a mistaken philanthropy might have taught
him. The visitor to the neighborhood who

many ol the women are barren; tin child

birth. Hence it uta> be roadil > believed
that tho average tearly mortality among
them i* equal to thai ol Farmville- a place
more than ten film * a« populous—and some
years it is much greater.
\\ ith the indolence and improvidence
characteristic ol their race they have wan
loiily destroyed their woodlands; have exs
haused their toil by unsystematic and imv
i proper eulture ; have suffered their houses
and enclosures to decay ; have contented
themselves with the production of tho bare
! nccesnarie* ol existence ; and have as yet
given no evidence that the germs of pro
| gross or improvement ever existed in their
! unhappy natures. Tho money derived from
( tin* «nli» of their crops i* invested in whis-

ponded in the tamo w*v. They grow no>
thing except Indian corn and tobacco with
a few potatoes and peas these scanty crop*
maintain a doubtful contest with the crab
grass carrot weed briers and other ilK
lavored products of an impoverished sod
These spring luxuriantly around their cabin
doors. Wheat they never grow. The idea
of planting an orchard a vegetable or How
er garden seems never to have entered
their heads. Nothing like system order
prudence economy or foretaste is |»ercepti
hie among them. It would be silly to talk
of refinement in connection with such a
people. Idle dishonest drunken profligate
H is not to bo wondered that this commu-
nity should bo th" theatre of scenes of des-
titution disorder immorality and crime
sufficient to cause the bones of the good
Randolph to turn in his grave and such as
to call for the frequent interposition of the
neighboring planters and not unlrequently
that of the county authorities. Thus we
hear in one case ol two listers one ol whom
makeM a midnight foray into the corn patch
of the other and p- the entire crop up
by the roots.
In another wo are told of an old woman
starving to death ; and in another ol a
sickly poor creature placed under the
charge of a drunken woman who goes to
town to buy whiskey leaving her charge to
die of sheer neglect. Imports of broils and
battles are common ; scarcely a day passes
without some of the adjacent farmers being
called in tn interfere in behalf of some ol
the oppressed inhabitants of this wretched
community. Hut yesterday two of the
Ixraelitish women come to the house where
the writer of this article is sojourning to
lodge complaint against a fugitive slave
w ho was harbored in the 11 ill and who had
*tnldenly ru*hed upon them threatening t >
cut off their heads with a scythe Wlade
which lie held in his uplifted hand
Such is a faintly drawn picture of Israel
Hill in l!Sr»l after more than forty \ears of
freedom ; and such are some of the disas-
trous consequences of an impolitic and un
wise philanthropy. Had these people res
mained *la'ea who can doubt but that theii
destiny in this life ami perhaps in the life
to come would have heeu far different far
happier The humiliating result* the
well intended b««nevolenc.e of Richard Ran-
dolph are fraught with no salutary lesson
lot the negrophilist but they may servo to
confirm th" intelligent laveholdci ; to warn
the inexperienced advocates of emancipa-
tion; and to rebuke the m my who -hake
with laughter at the idea of a republic in

negro lor the enjoyment of republican
freedom.

Elopement Extraordinary
We ropv the following from the Minn*
phis Whig of a late date
Our city has been rife with rumors for
the past two days of one of the most ex
traordinary elopements 'hat hn« ever been
known to illih section of country from the
respectability nod standing of tl.
parties concerned ami thetinruh tongue of
dame rumor has been busy in circulating a
thousand anil one reports.
\\ e have been desired to withhold from
publican.th« particulars of this most (lis -
treeing affair which lias thrown a very
large and wide circle of friends and ac-
quaintances into the deepest distress but
we opine that a statement of the facts io
the east* will be productive of much h*M
viarm than the almost innumerable rumors
that are in circulation and spreading with
electric speed all through the country ben
coming more and more exaggerated as they
travel from tongue to tongue.
The facts as i.ear as we can gather them
arc as follows . On I'riJav last Samuel S.
liemhi'it one of the wealthiest and most
respected planters in this country living on
niK( reek about twelve miles from this
city went to the house of Dr. A I5.('. Uu
hose one of his most intimate friends and
a relation we understand and under a pu«
tence of taking a young daughter of Dr D.'s
to a store to make her a present took her
in his buggy and the two rode of.
Towards night the gill'* parents mani-
fested some uneasiness at her long stay
and upon making inquiry as to her where*
about.* it was lound tout they had disap
peared very mysteriously and all was in
mvhten and doubt. The next day it was
ascertained tin t the parties had gone off
in the direction of the Mississippi liiver in
a carriage hired lor that purpose from a
liverv stable in this citv. I rom the driver
of the carnage it was learned that lie had
taken them to the river above Kandoiph.
On. aturdav evening Or. Dubose received
a letti i !i oiii \lr l( embert written from
Mr T. I». Tii-g's plantation but the par
tieulaih of that letter we are not at liberty
to give. \\ e have .since learned (hat Mr.
U and the youn:: lady took passage on the
I) V (liven winch boat left here on I n*
dav evening bound up (he Ohio liver.
Mr. itemhett is a mariied man and leaves
a w ite and several chib'teti the youngest
about w • fks old his w ife being a duugh^
ter of M| Duncan of lialeieh a highly
reHpectij'eln lamilv. The young lady is
only in her thirteenth \ear the 'laughter ol
a wealthy and as respectable a family an
any in the ^'ite having a I a r? * • ciicle ol
relations and fiiends throughout the coun-
I trv. That Mr. 15. had contemplate*! thU
atl'air and laid his plans before hand there
can be little doubt.
lie had been making preparations to go
to Texas for some time and had when he
left it is said ome It) or $ I VJ.OOO. It in
htipposed l>\ many that he will now m il<-
lor that State. .Mrs. I{< mbert is in the
deepest distress being nearly deranged from
grief. Dr. Dubose and laniih are almost
i rushed down in their afflictions and the
deepi <?t emotion and feeling peivade the
wholt> community.

Wm take the following correspondence
from the N. (). Delta :
R»:n River Oct. 31st 1JM.
Kditors Delta— !n the Picayune of 3at*
11 nJnv Ian' there is a statement in regard to
the " tarring and feathering" of a certain
Catholic 1'iiosi in Maine which I beg the
libert y of correcting through y our colurone.
In reading the account I wet assured by a
:^ent|(*rnnn who was upon the ground at the
time nmt who well known lo many citN
••ns of Nt w Oileant that the statement
was a parte nnd in a few words he would
. xpUin the affair a* it occurred.
Some months ago thit Piiett Eepst in>
formed the teacher of a certain public
school thnt the Uible should not be used
•'• v longer in hit tchool; that it was m
profanation of (iod't word by Protestant-
-nt and that he vvat determined to put a
l«»p to it. The teacher being an American
nmi possessing the proud spirit of hit nation
merely laughed at hii audacioumett and
continued within hit tchool the legacy of
the Most High to the children of men. Home
short time m:i. » thi* Mr Piiett with three
>r four of hia faithful follower* at the dead
hour of midnight repaired to the school
loom broke open tjiedoor ttole the Bibles
nod actually bur:ud ihetn in front of ibo
door'
The following morning the Teacher dit
covering that the previous threat of lite
I'rieit had been carried into effect repaired
in company with several gentlemen to bis
house to inquire whether or not it wat be
who had I urto.d the I'. k*s at the tchool
100m. Ho informed them that he did do it
and would do it ajjain. Upon this the
gentlemen retired and called a meeting of
tho citizens who resolved to admonish the
j»ri- ?ilv Mend and burplar to leave Within
'unr days and if' ho did not they would
"ivi) him a coat of tar and feathers. He
did not go however and the citiiens took
him and lot " faithful friend" who had
(iiveii him "aid und comfort" and carried
them about twenty miles and bid them
I'vivm the country . neither the Priest nor
hi* friend receiving the least injury. Some
lew days «flier this tho Priest returned
i miiw ith-iandin.; he w as informed that he
woulil hu nicely dressed if ho did so) and
I . I ilfliai.ee to (lie hellish protesiants and
tho internal Amuricans. li was at thit time
that the people took hitbolineet and plactd
-o» him imitead of his incerdotal robss a
i:i• riI of " fur and feathers."
I iie above aro strictly tlo-circumstances
nt the whole affair at related by one \»hw
wm there and who would scorn to discolor
the true ttatement. I have no comment to
m'ike hut catholic at ! am 1 cannot forge!
that I am an American and a friend of
