Creighton of Virginia, i s mnking the tour of our State, for ihe purpose of lecturing upon atitislnvery. Mr. Creighton ha3 heen lecturing for the past three evenings in this place, and we believe we soeak the sentimenls of the great mass who havelistened to him when we say, thnt for fearlessness afid intrepidity in unmasking and showing up to the world the hideousness and deiormity of the "peculiar iiistitution," as well as for fervid and soul-stirring eloquence, h'S addresses are unsurpassed by nny lö which we have ever listened. Mr. C. was the possessor by inheritance, of somp 150 slaves, but preferring honest poverty to that wealth which was stainod with ihebloodand tears of down trodden and suflTering humanity, he has stricken off their bands and restoied to them their birth rightof freedom. Fearle-s in lus hositility, nnd uncompromising in his hatred to oppre6sion, his graphic portrayals of what himself has soen and heard, enchain his audience in brpathless atlontion, and stir the blood as with the sound of a trumpet. Mr. C. is n young rnan of great promise, and must speedily tako place in the very front rank of tlve championsof freedom.Il is route for the ne.xt four weeks wil] be as follovvs : - On ilie line of the Central Ruilrond to Grasa Lnke, Jackson.
