BUFFALO, Aug. 12th, 1857.
MY DEAR FRIEND-WM. STILL:-I take the liberty to inform you, that I had the pleasure of seeing a man of sable brand at my house in St. C. yesterday, by name of James Connor, lately from New Orleans, more recently from the city of Brotherly love, where he took French leave of his French master. He desired me to inform you of his safe arrival in the glorious land of Freedom, and to send his kind regards to you and to Mr. Williamson; also to another person, (the name I have forgotten). Poor Malinda Smith, with her two little girls and. young babe is with us doing well.
Affectionately yours, HIRAM WILSON.
