Southern violence.--Mr. Collins, son of Dr. Collins, a noted Methodist who escaped from the South some time since, relates the following:--Miss Giernstein, a young woman from Maine, who had been teaching near Memphis, became an object of suspicion, and left for Cairo on the cars. One of the firemen overheard her say to some Northern men, Thank God! we shall soon be in a land where there is freedom of thought and speech.

With head shaved, scarred, and disfigured, she was at length permitted to resume her journey toward civilization.--N Y. Tribune, Aug. 7.

Could she forget the hallowed ground Where first the Pilgrims trod,-- Who made the woods with songs resound, For Freedom and for God? Had she forgotten Lexington, And Concord's bloody field? And was she now a timid one, To crouch, and cower, and yield? No! Massachusetts r
