A Family Reconstructed Our readers recollect the Notice to the Friends of Humanity, on behalf of Mr. W. Ambrose, of Chicago, then in search for his mother, brothers and sisters, which appeared a few days ago in our columns. The following letter, conveying the glad tiding of the reunion of all the members of the family, will be read with uncommon interest: AUGUST 30, 1865. New Orleans Tribune: I have the pleasure to inform you that Mr. Ambrose Brackens has found his family, including his mother and all her childrens, nine in number, besides sundry new relatives, who by marriage have joined the house of his kindred in their long separation. Mr. Ambrose desires me to thank you in his name for your kindness; which, owing to his leaving for Chicago to-day, he is unable to acknowledge in person as he wished to do. He found his kinsfolks about seventy miles up the Jackson Railroad, in quite a destitute condition, but alive and at work. Brackens, the old master is dead. Mrs. Brackens begged him, her former slave, to take her away to some place of security and plenty. He declined to do so, because Mrs. Brackens had, recently, beaten his old mother until the Prost Marshal had interfered. Upon his mistress, bursting into tears, and exhibiting great distress, Mr. Ambrose gave her some money, and bade her repent and do better!! Mr. Ambrose has provided for the wants of his family, and will soon send for them. The whole story of Mr. Ambrose Brackens will be another chapter in the history of slavery, which history, when written by the colored man himself in the future, will be a contribution to literature, unsurpassed in pathos, incident, daring, fidelity, and endurance in long suffering, and swift and marvellous retribution; and in the almost miraculous redemption of a people from a terrible bondage. Very respectfully, B. RUSH PLUMLY.
