A WILLIAMS.--The next person to be referred to is
Cornelia Williams, a bright young niece of our friend, Henry H.
Garnet's, whom many of our friends kindly assisted to redeem
from Slavery, in North Carolina, about three years since. We
rejoice to say this dear girl is going on very satisfactorily.
She has been diligently pursuing her studies in a school at
Nantucket, and appears to be much esteemed by all who know her.
She kindly sends us a little letter now and then, again
returning her glowing thanks to all who assisted in procuring
her freedom. Her mother, Dinah Williams (also a slave a few
years since, and redeemed in part by the surplus of 'the Weims
Ransom Fund'), has married an estimable Baptist minister within
the last year, and Cornelia resides under their roof.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.--It is known that our much-valued friend,
Frederick Douglass, left this country suddenly for America last
spring, chiefly on account of the decease of a most beloved
little girl. Till quite recently he was intending to return to
England very soon, but this is for the present delayed, on
account of increasing and pressing engagements in the United
States. We take the liberty of quoting an extract from one of
his letters:

"ROCHESTER, July 2d, 1860.

"You hold up before me the glorious promises contained
in the sacred Scriptures. These are needed by none more
than by those who have presumed to put themselves to the
work of accomplishing the abolition of Slavery in this
country. There is scarcely one single interest, social,
moral, religious, or physical, which is not in some way
connected with this stupendous evil. On the side of the
oppressor there is power, now as in the earlier days of
the world. I find much comfort in the thought that I am
but a passenger on board of this ship of life. I have
not the management committed to me. I am to obey orders,
and leave the rest to the great Captain whose wisdom is
able to direct. I have only to go on in His fear and in
His spirit, uttering with pen and tongue the whole truth
against Slavery, leaving to Him the honor and the glory
of destroying this mighty work of the devil. I long for
the end of my people's bondage, and would give all I
possess to witness t
