his freedom to Free Masonry, he being0
member of that order. He insinuated
tlmt Andy Johnson would have been

An Aged Woman Redeemed Fr
Slavery.
The Cincinnati Chronicle tells the story of
Rebecca Whale, aged sixty-eight, years, who,
having passed all her days in the bond
vice of another, even since the emancipa
tion of lier race, has still remained in bon
dage to her former master, ignorant of her
freedom, until released one week ago by a
daughter whom she had not seen for a peri
od of over twenty years. Tiie mother and
daughter arrived in Chicago last week.—
Upon a plantation in the neighborhood of
Lexington, Ky., the old woman was born
and raised, and upon the same plantation
she has lived and toiled for tho Coleman fam
the ehattio of James Coleman
ily, and w
when the war burst upon the couutry.
In the year 1825 Rebecca was married to
George Whale, a field-hand on tno same
plantation, and in tho course of time two
and two daughters were born. The do
mestic relation had to be sacrificed to the
pidity of their master, and tiie child e
separately sold from time to time to purcha
sers from below. Tho husband died, and the
only remaining solace and hope of the de
spondent widow was the younger child Al
ice, a sprightly girl of twelve years, but she
at length was sold to a Louisiana planter in
the fall of 1847; since which time the poor
widowed and childless slave knew nought of
her offspring until sought out and restored
to liberty by her younger daughter. The
poor slave grew old in servitude, and pined
beneath her load of sorrow <, but being skil
ful in tl»e art of cooking she was indispensa
ble In the Coleman household.
When the storm of secession swept through,
the State the Colemans espoused the rebel
cause, and suffered the destruction and con
fiscation of their patrimonial estate at tiie
hands of others. Tiie family removed a num
ber of miles into the interior, remote from
tho cityj taking with them the old family
servant, who was taught to believe, even af
ter tiie final emancipatlau, that the negroes
were still in bondage.
When the Union troops swept through the
State of Louisiana and announced freedom
lo the blacks, among the first who availed
themselves to enter the Union lines was Al
ice whale, the daughter above referred to.—
In the capacity of cook she became attached
to the 72d Illinois Regiment and followed
the vicissitudes of that command until the
dose of the struggle, when she was induced
by some of the officers to come to Chicago.
Shortly after arriving here she became ac
quainted with David Payne, who had also
been u slave and been liberated by tiie war,
who she
Ever since, her
daughter, who is more than ordinarily in
telligent, ha« corresponded in all directions
in hopes of ascertaining tho whereabouts of
her mother, brother, and sister, whom she
laid not seen nor heard of for nearly twenty
years. The brothers were found t
business in Ohio and Kentucky, but the
mother and sister were nowhere to he found.
Persisting, however, in her efforts, she
learned one day last week that lier muflier
was still held in bondage in tiie interior of
Kentucky. , ,
Hastening at once to the place designated,
ear the city of Lexington, she found the
story to be too true. Clau in rags, and
bowed beneath the weight of years and la
