ediate locality has undergone but a slight change in its aspect since the great Waterico defeat of General Butler's forces last June, still a material alteration in forest scenery exists. Numerous frees have been felled, for the purpose of extracting Minnie balls, and others, of less dimensions, that were deeply imbedded in their trunks. These missiles are highly prized, and are held by our courageous volunteers as mementoes of this already celebrated battle ground. The log upon which Major Winthrop stood, at the time of rallying his men, has long since been removed in small parcels, out of which canes, and a variety of other valuable articles have because manufactured.

The first slaves of Europeans in America were the Indians; and the Puritan Governor (Winthrop) of Massachusetts bequeathed his soul to God and his Indian slaves to the lawful heirs of his body. Confederate New England, in 1643, provided for the equitable division of lands, goods and persons as equally a part of the "spoils" of war — enacting the first fugitive slave law in America. On the 4th of July, 1776, every American Colony had become a slave State, and the number of slaves was four hundred and fifty thousand. Nature warred against the institution in the Northern States; otherwise, slavery would have existed there to this day. It was not profitable, and died; lingering in New York till July, 1827. The most of the slaves were transported and sold to the South, and thus their owners were enabled to turn an honest penny, and to say to th
