Mr Brooke iuforins us, that some time lasL euuimer, Wm. Logan, a citizen of Richland co., fed a poor, hungry man, flying from oppression. The Grand Jury of the county ndicted liim, charging him svitli "feeding James Monroe, a negro and black,oving service and labor to sortie privón in Kentncky whose name is unknown to the Grand Jury," and also,with "piloting" him. The case carne on for irial at the late term of the court in Richland, and was distmVed, though not in open covrt. Tliia u'ould have been too grave an ofíence to a peop!e wlio deem it felony to feod the hungry. So the court informed Mr. Logan privately, that tne Black La w under which he was ndicted, was uncótstitutiönal, But ihe worst is not told. 'Tlio cliurch to which he belongs,' soya Mr. Brooke, uto &hov its abhorronce of the relk'ion of Jesus, and rebuke hiin for perfiirming his christian duty, voted him out of the eldership!'' Wc should like to knovv wliat cliurch it was. Houever, it was no churcli atoll, it was a sv-nnroue of Satan. -
