Orheii to Leave.—Tlio Now Orleans Christian Advocate learns through the siding Elder, Rev. W. B. Hines, and others, that the Rev. J. J. Early, of tho Mississippi Conference, lias been noti fied to leave the country, in conse- queiieoof the discovery of notes of his, on slavery preparatory to the publication >f nil abolition work.

Ho boldly and emphatically replied that "he entno there to take Booth, and that if lie could get sight of 'him ho should ac complish his purposo or dio in tho at tempt—that tho men who were with him wore determined men, and if vio lence were offered, it must bo dono nt their poril." Mr. McCarty then nuked them thoir purpose. Tlioy replied tiiat Bootli should novor bo taken except over their bodies. That tlioy deflod the government, and that no power on earth could get him away from them. Again they demanded that tho Marsiial should depart, but ho cooly informed them that he was not yut ready, and asked thoir names. A large number immediately stepped up and gave them, togethor with their places of residonce, coupled with the assertions that they would "lynch, shoot and quarter” every government officer who nttompted to accomplish Booth’s arrest. McCartv did not doom it advisable to risk the lives of six against twelvo times that number, and not knowing that Bootli was iu the hnuso did not desire to )»cril their lives against such fearful odds, or render himself liable if tlio fugitive wus not there secreted. Ho sent to Ripen for reinforcements; but informed tho crowd that if Booth was seen or thoy would admit his whereabouts, ho would take him or perish. IIo waited until after 11 o’clock, having boon there in the fneo of .loaded rifles and desporate mon some seven hours, when assist ance not arriving, himsolf aud men quietly departed. The Marshals went for tho purpose of arresting a fugitive, but woro prevented by u band of armed fanatics, outnum bering them twelve to one, banded to gether to set at defiance the laws of the United States. If over wo had reason to deplore tlio spread of fanaticism, it is now. Ifover there was a time for ac tion, it lias arrived.

Madame Bishop Boiiiiku.—Madame Anna Bishopwas robbed at Milwaukee last week. The thief entered her room whilo she was at a concert, and stole eight humired dollars worth of jewelry. Among tho articles taken were a brace let of most curious workmanship, carv- od from a piece of tlio tomb of Romeo and Juliot, and u brooch from Australia which cost forty guinea*,; prentice to Dahloucga, (Iu. -Bayne, a tailor of Singular Proceedings. The Memphis Avalanche gives nn ac count of tho arrival of three men at that placo by a steamer, and going up into town aiul returning on hoard wi»h an other man, whom they scoured and de sired tho Captain to land tiiem on tlio Arkansas side, saying tho individual whom they had arrested was implicated n the Texas insurrection plot. Tho prisoner protested his innocence and oxpressod his willingness to go with his captors, if thoy would permit him to bid his family good hyo. This was refused and ho was taken in a skiff over into Arkansas. Tho Avalanche concludes: "We aro informed by gentlemen who witnessed tho affair, that thoy would sooner suspect the captors of being guil ty than him. It may be, however, that he is guilty, and if so I10 should be pun ished. But there is a way to disponso justice, and we of Momnliis. as agon oral thing, like to see it administered with order and docenoy. It was tho duty of those men to take logal steps for the ar rest of their prisoner, and tho fact that they would not let him communicate with his wife, ovon in thoir presence, shows that tliero was something loose somewhere. On tlio whole it is one of the strangest affairs that ever camo to our knowledge, and the appearances aro that a very great outrage has boon committed. teQJ ^osine Oil and Lamps tT,,D BEST QUALITY, FOU 8A1E ihn 0 ' 1 !’ b » TURNLEY, No. SCholce H<m«o 1 hi' 1 ! stf- r i Unt , Oils: ■ u-K 1 i^ orri -? no ' Maohino Lard, Tanner. |i,i ‘ and Campbono and burning FARELL A YEIBJ5R.
