Tii« Last Railroad Slaughter.— The Chicago

conceruiog the recent. accident on tlio Railroad,
in addition to those a! ready communicated by tele

“Tho train constated of seven passenger coaches
with a baggage car, under tho charge of Mr. Van
Bu.skirk, oundoctor. At a iittle past 1 o’clock,
whcf» four mile* West of Mieeoka. the train run
Bing a>. the usual average fifteen, about twenty
h an hour, th<* forward ax’ 1 of the locomotive
truck broke and the wheel flew off. This was dis
tinctly seen by both engineer and fireman. The
engineer immediately a*tempted to reverse, and
whistle for the brakes, but was unable to do so
befoto the truck had settled down, and the loco
m /ive wa * thereby thrown from the track.
A! er noticing the flying wheel, be saw a hor-e
upon or the track, which was found killed on
the p- • He i« confident, however, that the axle
broke b doro the train reached tho horse, and that
the aniuud had no connection with the train bo
ing thrown off the track. The appearance of tho
horse also corroborates tho engineer’s statement,
u ho is not mangled as he would have been had
he been the occasion of the accident. This sec
tion of tho railroad is securely fenced, but thero is
a road crossing just at Inc point where the car* li<,
by which it is probable the horse came in the way.
The engineer, Wm. G. Brown, escaped with a
few nliirht bruL'-s. but his brother, tho fireman,
had one leg broken below the knee.
As the forwar end of tho locomotive came to
tho ground, throwing the engine off’ the track,
leaving, right side op and near the rail, stand
ing will, the head to vard the ‘ail of the train. Tho
connection between tho engine and the tender
broke, and the latter with the baggage car, ran oil
on the opposite side- The lir-t passenger car wa
driven on j ust the 1 -corn olive and fortunately no
one in it wm injured, it would seem irorn their
relative positions that it must havo passed over
the engine. The second jn-.vng r car mounted
on the mp »>f tl o loaomotive, where it stopped, and
so tling down upon it, tho dome broke through
the 11 M-r and the valve being opened or broken,
the st.euui rushed into the car, enveloping the tin
fortunate occupant*. The ear contained about 50
persons.

The notes originally issued by the ba*;k of Con

j The hank originally had f 50,000 in specie to pro
i toct the issue of or cents in coin to

' This, however, is a pretty large amount of coin
| to protect its insane, comn&red to'some of tfc f banks
i that had not a cent fro i the start, and have neither
j banking house, counter or anything else, where
the holders of notes may ccngrega’e, to present
them f >r redemption, and if they had such a place,
they would not have cent to redeem with—and
wb&t is more<never intend to have. We will give
a sample of how some of the*e banks are got up,
by Wall street financier*, and mo*t of those ol
Indiana, (72j are owned by tke.>e gentlemen.
The mod it over an di is this: A man want* to
figure as a banker, nut he has but $5,000 wnere
with to start his bank. If he ha* inis amount,
however, the bank is easily got an er way. rirsi,
he selects u* the be»t location for his operations, a
village in one of the counties in Indians, remote
from the centre* of trade, and approachable on ad
sides by the worst corduroy roads, tx> prevent any
man from reaching it to get live dollar* in coin, for
the wtc i*=ued by the bank He then goes to a
Wa - reel broker, and whu bis $5,000, deposited
wi*h him a* a margin, he requests the broker to
arc* a-e for him *IOO,OOO of State stocks, which
oi.sii> dona, on 60 day®, by the deposit of other
I tock~a coiia'.ora!.

... r fi t 0Q .i o ioveatment. Prior to which, how
ever, he has arraaged with the Auditor o. the
Btate for an issue of eay SIOO,OOO in one and two
do.'lar notes, for the bank of
The S'.at being booght, the broker sends
t‘...-n to the auditor, aud the auditor signs the
•, regiet.rs them, and delivers them to the
... ';er—for tho circulation of which notes, the
' roker has previously arranged with Uocheater
mi lore, or heavy pork dealers in New York city,
Ijr t. eir paper at lour month at 7 per cent inter
e. t, on condition tho miller? and pork dealers pay
out lb s money in the west, in as small amounts es
possible to secure its more general circulation,
t he broker then takes the paper received from the
miliars and pork doalers, snd throws it into the
New York banks, or sends a portion to Kocbester,
for discounts, and with this money he reimburses
himseif for tne State stocks he bra! purchased.
Tho t-ai..action ia now closed; except the Indiana
oanker gives him another commission, of 2 per
cent, as guarantee, for the risk by the broker
(which however is not much, the millerß and pork
dealers being in excellent credit) in taking the pa
per of the former.
This foots up a lose to the banker of $4,000 —but,
in consideration of this loss, tho banker has his
bank—with its circulation of sloo,ooo—he reaping
an interest of six thousand dollars a year, on his
stocks, which hae actually cost him but S4OOO in
money.
The banker, however, opens an oflice in the
village, with one thousand dollars in coin, to protect
his issues which are bought in by bis neighbors,
when troy want change, aud the village newpaper
(having its advertising bill paid promptly on pre
sentation) puffs up the bank in a leading editorial,
as one of the soundest institutions in the country,
and pronounces even a suspicion againßt it as a
vile slander—for it has “never, to our certain
knowledge,” says the editor, ceased to pay coin
pr raptly-—ou presentation ot its paper !
The reader will observe, that by this process of
carrying on banking operations, no one is indebt
ed to the banker in the shape of “loans” rr “dis
count.” So far as “bills receivable” are concerned,
he cares not if the bank breaks to monow —his
only object is to keep out the circulation,by which
the" hanker may realize his $6,000 a year, and
when he finds "he can no longer do th : s, his next
step is to bay a ticket for the next steamer, and he
i . off for California, and in tho interim, the bank
breaks, and tho Auditor sells the stocks—as is
now being done in Indiana.
In Wall street there are what are called regular
“bank makers,” whose business it is, : n connection
with their other large Htock operations, to “get up
banks” for a consideration, for any one that wants
to establish one. A friend of ours lately had some
idea ot establishing one, and he wrote to ,of
Wall treet, mi eminent bank financier, to put
him in the way of doing so—asking his advice,
what was necessary t) bo done, and stating, at the
sarno time, lie bad but small means at his com
mand, (s3,uOCi to $5,000,) and he must mako his
charges us light as possiole.
The Wall-street gontleman,having all such mat
t-m “a'his finger ends,” took but little timo to
consider on the matter, and by return of mail our
frined received the following letter, in answer to
his inquiries. Tho original letter is now lying be
fore üb, and from which we make the following
extracts :
New York, No.—Wall street, 1854. — Dear Sir:
My present impression is, thatlndii na is the most
desirable place to bank in, the law there giving
thirty days to pay in, and that—mark ye sir—with
out interest.
Indiana stocks aro wotth about 2 per cent, pre
mium. It would take about thirty days to g tup
tliu plate—cost ssoo—printing papi r say sßuo. It
will then cost you 1 to 2 per cent, for my com
mis.ion for buying stocks, and five- ighths to
circulate tho notes for you—which 1 esteem cheap
as dirt—in ail, the cost to got up a fifty thousand
bank, wi. l bo to you $3,000, and if 1 can get thorn
(the notes) welleircu atod, and I am suro I can,
hu-ing hud great exporienco in theso matters, yon
can then live like a fighting cock, on your income
from the stocks, tho same, as before stated, having
only cost you $3,000 in all, and tour income being
SB,OOO per annum. For a $50,000 bank, it wilL
probably bo necessary for you to keep on hand, in
your Bank (office) SSOO to SI,OOO in coin—to ODlige
your neighbors—tor you ncod not fear a run on
tho bank except from them, and then only about
Christinas and Now Year days or small presume
to tho children—iu gold or silver.
1 desire to impress on your mind, great care is to
bo taken iu giving tho bank a good name—for like
a baby, who to oblige grandma, was named
“ lohabod,” and people disliked it on account of
its name—so it will bo with a bank if ithas an out
landish name. I would merely suggest calling it
the “ Merchants’ Bank,” or tho “ Farmers’ Bank,”
(tho latter is peculiarly appropriate, as the oulti
Tutors ol tho soil aro always ticklod with beiug
culled farmer, aud often lay tho notes one side,
as a koop-sake, to look at, ou ucoount of “ farmer”
boiug iu the body of them.)
Be sure, not to name the bank anything like
“ Ottaway,” (for we shall want some of the circu
lation here) and such names as this, convey tho
idea, that the bank is iu the extremo west—which
is prejudicial.
In conclusion, 1 am of opinion, yon will have no
difficulty of taking care of a fifty thousand bank,
if you follow my advice in the premisos. Any
further information, in regard to this, or other
bunk matters, or stocks, will bo given you, cheer
tully. I am, sir, your ob’t, * *
I’. S. It may bo necessary, for you to deposit
witli me when the bank gets under way, say SSOO
—aud 1 will thon givo notice that tho issues will be
redoomed in Wall street at discount. This,
gives more confidence.
Wo do not say that all the free banks are gotten
up in this way. Many of them—some of those of
Indiana—wo have no doubt, havo a due portion of
specie, and make regular loans and discounts to
tho community, and aro institutions which should
bo cherished, as facilitating the operations of trado
aud commence, but that there are many put in
operation, in tho manner we havo described, does
not tidmil of a doubt.
Theso all work well, until a panic or crisis comes,
and thon—they wind up, and in a few months
nothing more is hoard ot them.
It is a serious matter, however, for us of tho
West to be deprived—-as it is evident we soon shall
ho—of seven millions of the circulation of these
free banks, and without any immodiato prospect
ol Ailing up this vacuum with other papor, aud wo
are already fooling the additional pressure on the
money market, by the withdrawal ol a portion of
this currenoy.
To dav we saw $320 of the Banks of Connors
ville ana Elkhart County Bank sold at *5 per cent,
discount -both free banks—the former banking
on Indiana and Ohio State stocks, and the latter
ou those ot Louisiana and North Carolina.
This state of things, happening ot this time,
boors peculiarly hard on our merchants and traders,
for thoir country debtors are now bringing in (what
little they do bring to iiqnidato indebtedness) this
kind ot currency—and it, is of necessity, refused
to bo taken.
In regard to tho bunks of Indiana, Thompson,
in his Reporter of tho 22d, says :
“ Indiana banking has eomo to a crisis. It now
beoomos interesting to know what bill-holders’
rights are in case a batik fails. The notes must be
protested by a notary and lodged with the auditor,
who notifies tho bank. The bank has thon thirty
days in which to rodeem. If payment is not maue
within the thirty days, the auditor then proceeds
to sell the stock at public auction, aud (if we road
the law right,) pay all protested notes m full, and
thon do the best he can for those who have not
boon smart enough to have their notes protested.
Free banking in Indiana is dunn for. tfur quota
tions tor Indiana money cannot be relied upon—
for a largo portion ot it canuot bo sold at any
rate.”

Attack o> I'atuopoi.oski by the English and
French fleet*—defeat of the allies. —The allied

j operations daring the present war with Russia.
! Although the only information in this matter has
been derived from English and French sources,
the general impre**lou i» hat in the bombard
ment of PetroDoleki the Russians had a decided
udvantage. Tbe princ pal part of the French
squadron engaged was lying in the San Francisco
harbor on the J6*.h ult., where it was to be speedi
ly joined by a protion of the English fleet, to
winter in Monterey harbor.
It appears that, on the 29th of August, the al
lied fleet, consisting of the French vessel* of war
| F jrte, Eery dice, and Obiigado, and English ves
sels of war President, Pique, and steamer Virago,
I hove in sight off Pen opoioski, being at the time
in want of water, and before a gun wa* fired, the
batteries, on the outward harbor opened upon
them. The fleet harbored under a great many
disadvan ages, and in consequence of the strength
olthe current and the dense fog which prevailed
was unable to approach nearer than three miles
trom the sand bar which divided the harbor.
They, however, returned the fire, when the three
batteries in the eastward harbor, viz: the battery
on the peninsula, and the two on tho main land on
the opposite side, and tho Aurora and L>wina,
sheltered behind the sand-bar in front, end at first
concealed from the view of the allied fleet, opened
a galling Are.
Laboring under the above mentioned disadvan
tage*. and being only provided with one steamer,
the allied fleet were unable to approach nearer. A
brisk cannonade was kept up for sometime, and
shot aud shell were vomited forth by the allied
fleet. After the first half hour, the outside batte
ry on the main land and below the battery on tbe
peninsula on the opposite side, was silenced, aud
the troops with which it was garrisoned retired to
ward the town. The battery on the peninsula
hauled down the Russian flag shortly after. VV e
should have staled that the bombardment com
menced on tbe Ist of September, and ou Uk se
cond day a detachment of marines, numbering
about 600, and composed equally of French and
English, were ordered to land, for the purpose ot
spiking the guns and completing the destruction
of the abandoned forts.
Under cover of the gums of the fleet they landed,
but they had no sooner commenced the work than
a murderous fire was opened upon them by the
Russians, who had retired from tho forts, and had
concealed themselves in the brushwood. Betweeu
fifty and sixty of the mariners foil, and the re
mainder, after tho work of demolition was com
pleted, retire ’ to their boats. It was impossible
to form any estimate of the loss on the Russian
side, but it was supposed to be much greater than
that of the allie*. During the four days of tho
bombardment, the batteries which overlooked the
town on tho inner bay did great execution, and
also the “Aurora” and “Dwina,” which, sheltered
by the sandbar, poured forth their volleys, while
trench officers describe tho havoc committed
among tho Russians as awful in the extreme.—
Many of them were cut in two by the balls from
the allied fleet.
The bombardment lasted for four days, at the
expiration of which time the allied fleet got under
way and proceeded in a southerly direction, and
shortly aftorwards fell in with and captured the
Sitka. The allied flee' •, it is said, would have
continued the bombardment but for a want of pro
visions.

The Loss of the Yankee Blade—Outrage and
Robbery. —The San Francisco papers are filled
with account* of tho loss of the steamer Yankee
Blade, which occurred on the lstot October, by
running on a rock near I’oint Conception, when
hours out from San Francisco. The Chroni
cle of that city, says:
As soon as she struck tho wheels wero backed,
but it was of no use; she wa* completely fast.
Tho water immediately commenced to rush in at
tho bow, and tho stern settled so that the whole of
the promenade deck, except the guards, was under
the water.
A .scene of gre .t confusion ensued. Thou was
no order, and see ce!y any attempt at the preserva
tion of order. The first impulse of all, when they
heard the crash, was to rush on deck and see what
was tho matter, and the second was to return and
secure thoir valuables; but many wero too late.
The next thought after tho attempt to save the
valuables, was that the steamer would break to
pieces soon, and that tho only satoty was to get on
shore.
Capt. Randall was in a boat with six men, in
about ton minutes after the steamer struck, and
went ashore to find a landing place. Soon after
that, tho first mute leit with another boat, with
l mo laities, and then the srjoud mato took an
other boat of ladies. One ot these boats was
swamped, and out of 21 persons it was said that
12, me tof whom, if not all, wore ladies, wero
drowned. The land, distent at >ut throe quarters
of a milo from where Cue steamer lay, roso in a
bold bluff 200 feet high, and tho place where a
lauding was practicable was between two largo
boulders.
About sovenor eight boat loads woro landed on
Sunday. Here most of tho passengers woro land
ed; but the second mate took his boat down the
coast about ton miles, to a beach. All tho ladies
wore la ided before night. Most of the passengers
had saved nothing but tho clothes they had on.
Tho sea was rather rough, though there was
little wind. Tho surf was so heavy along tho
shore that the boats jvero swamped four or five
times, and tho mon who had once reached shore
had little disposition to go out again.
When night approached it was of course impos
sible to proceed with currying the passengi-rs to
the shore. Thegenoral impression was the
steamer would go to pieces during tho night. Tho
boat rolled very much. Tho upper oabin did not
fill with wator for about an hour after the vessel
atruok, and it is said that fiends immediately bo
gun to pillage tho property of which there was no
owner immediately present. Tho filling of tho
cabin before dark prevented tho continuance of
pillage.
As night approached the stern settled down and
the bow rose, so that the dock stood at an angle of
about twenty degrees. The forward steerage was
thus elevated above the wator, and as night came
ou it becamotho F2ene of horrible pillage. There
was a la ge uumber of steerage passengers on the
Blade, many of whom had money or valuables in
carp3t bags, stowed away in their berths.
There wore twouty or thirty-five wretches on
board who were determined to take advantage of
tho confusion and commit a general robbery. No
sooner was the favoring mantle of darknosß spread
over the sky than they hurried down into tho
steerage and began to examine tho clothes in the
berths and to cut opon the carpet bags. What
was done down there no honest man knows; or at
least wo havo not been able to find none. About
seven o’clock the cry of murder was hoard in the
atoorago and about the same time two pistol shots
woro heard. Who was the murderer and who the
murdered no ono knew.
A number of persons started to go down into
tho steerage, l -ut tho steps were taken away by
those below, and throats woro made that no man
should come down there alive. The condition of
affairs on the boat was such that there whs not
much disposition to undoituko to defend tho rights
of strangers. There wore about 800 people on tho
stoep deck of the boat, sitting down, standing up
and a few laying down, shivering in tho cold, and
waiting almost in despair of soeing tho morning.
No ono slept or thought of sleeping. Many, who
had never boen known beforo to pray, spent tho
night in prayer, but in such wild and incoherent
terms that others, even church members, were
moved to laugh, serious as tho occasion was. Du
ring the nigut some further scorn a ot violence
oocurred. A number of persons were assaulted.
One person was knockod down and compelled,
with a pistol to his breast, to give up his money.
Another was robbed, und an attempt was made to
throw him overboard. A number more of similar
cases occurred.
When daylight came, persons went down into
the steerage, and saw some marks of blood ; but if
a murder had been committed, tho body had beet,
cast into the hold, or otherwise disposed of. Tho
floor of tho steerage was covered with articles of
clothing, carpet bags cut to pieces, and rich China
shawls which the miners woro taking as presents
to friends at homo. In the morning the boats be
gan again to take off persons from the wreck. The
third mate and tho purser were the only officers
who staid on board. Tho passengers speak in
high terms of the third mate.
By a fortunate aocident the Goliah came along
within sight of the wreck about 9 o’clock in tho
morning, Capt Haley took a large load of passen
gers on board, and landod them at San Diego.
In tho meantime a number of the men on shore
had started tor Santa Barbaria, which was about
fifty miles to tho northward. The Goliah on her
return stopped there and found forty-five there,
and then proceeded to tho wreck, where she found
on the shore the remainder, all of whom she
brought to this city. Jt may bo that a few woro
missed who were on the way from the landing
place to Santa Barbara, aud had not arrived when
the Goliah touched there. All the rest are in this
c’ty or in Los Angelos. When the Goliah return
ed, tho wreck wa* scarcely visible above wator,
aud it is very likely that by this time nothing is
left, and that the specie is a total loss.
In regard to the number of lives lost, there is
much difference of opinion among the passengers.
Some think thirty wore lost, and some estimate it
as high as sixty. In one boat load swamped twelve
were lost, in another five, in another three, &o.
One man who had twe carpet bags fastened to his
neck, one on each side, was so anxious to get to
shore, that he jumped from the steamer, intending
to swim to a small boat which was near, receiving
passengers, but his carpet bags wore too much for
him. Ho sunk like a stone.
Booidoc, it i* »r»id three porsone jumped over
board from the Goliah, on the way to San Diego.
The loss of the steamship Yankee Blade will
fall heavily upon the insurance companies. She is
inured for 1175,000, of which SIOO,OuO is in Lon
don. and $75,000 in Wall street, N. Y. This is
about her lull value. She had just oeen purchased
by the Nicaragua Transit Company, and was about
taking her place in that line. She had on board
800 passengers, and $ 158,000 in gold—the latter
lost. __ _ w .
Tax Fob#eries in San Fbanc:*co. —On the t h
ultimo, San Francisco was thrown into the greatest
excitement in consequence of the rumor that
Henry Meiggs, late a member of the Board of
Aldermen, and one of the most e tensive lumber
merchants in the State, had failed tor $800,000;
that several forgeries had been discovered; that
Meiggs had purchased the barque American, fitted
it up in a splendid style, and taking With him his
family, and his brother. John G. Meiggs, recent
ly elected Comptroller, and a large amount ot
treasure, set sail “ lor parts in the Pacific.” The
matter has been pretty extensively investigated
since, and the following is probably not very far
from the trae amount of the loss sustained by
Moiags’ operations:
Am unt of failure tSOOJ**'

The warrants were generally made out in lavor

SI,OOO. fit first it was thought that the piate as
well as the signatures were counterfeit, but it is
now conceded that the former was genuine ; and
so admirably were the latter executed that the
mayor and comptroller each pronounced them their
own writing.

Excitement in Kew York.
! At an early hoar on Thursday evening minors
were afloat in New York that a tear!a! not would
i tike place in Willi.msbargh, iu consequence of
j the death of Mr. Harrison, who was killed at the
riot on Tuesday, Up to quiet pro
! vailed, and to all appoarance no trouble was likely
| to occur. The Tribune of Friday says:
| About 11 o’clock a procession of men, number
' ing about fi -e hundred, came marching sou: abreast
I through Fifth street, in a quiet and orderly mau
! ner. At the corner of Grand and Fifth streets
! they were met by Mayor Wall, who exhorted them
to disperse. Mr. George H. Andrews, of the Cou
rier and Enquirer, also addressed them, and quite
a number left the ranks. Some twenty, special
deputation, then proceeded to the corner of Second
and North Sixth streets, where the riot occurred,
for the purpose of arresting some ten or twelve of
the men charged with be-ng engaged in the elec
tion riot. If assistance was required they were
to send up two rockets.
The procession then proceeded down Fifth
street, in front of Alderman Linsky’s house.
Some 20 shots were fired in the air. They then
moved down North Fifth to Second street, where
an Irishman was standing in the lot, with a loaded
musket and bayonet; he said he on guard;
when a number of pistols were fired, and the man
ran away, leaving toe gun as booty. At, the cor
ner of Second and Non*-Second streets two more
Irishmen were met with muskets ; they were bad
ly beaten, and the muskets taken from them. The
procession then marched up and down various
streets, but met with no opposition—the houses all
bffng closed and no persons i» sight. A cry was
then raised to “Down with the Church 1” Mr.
George H. Andrews here addressed the crowd, ad
vising them to retire. He was loudly cheered, and
many heeded his advice.
A firing was kept up throughout the line of
march. In Second street, between North Sixth
and North Seventh stree q some persons fired irom
an ailey-way upon the \ session without effect.
A young man named Dennett, narrowly escaped
being shot. A ball struck his leu shoulder, but,
having nearly spent its force, lodged in the coat
sleeve without causing a wound.
About 12 o’clock a party of about one hundred
men made an attack upon St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s
Catholic Churches, in Second Street. They first
tore down an iron cross over the gate entrance way,
stoned the iront windows, and broke in a panel of
the door. A cry was raised for straw and matches
to fire the edifice. At this moment, Mayor vVall,
Sheriff'Lott, and Mr. George Andrews appeared,
and prevailed upon the crowd to disperse.
About this time, the Jefferson Blues, Capt.
Kiehl, and Capt. John Gaua’s Company of troops,
under Col. Abel Smith, arrived at the City Park in
Fourth street, and were drawn up to await the or
ders of the Mayor.
About one o’clock this morning, another party
had gathered around the church, with the avowed
intention of burning it down. The military were
furnished with ball cartriges, and marched at once
to the scene. The rioter*, however, had quietly
dispersed. Spies wore stationed throughout the
city, and the movements or every man in the
streets was closely scrutinized.
At 2>£ o’clook this morning the streets were
nearly deserted, and no fears ol the riot being re
sumed, the military retired, and so the riot ended
without bloodshed.
We learn by telegraph that both at Williamsburg
and Brooklyn the military were ordered under
arms last evening, owing to the apprehended riot
at the former place. Up to 10 o’clock, however,
no a 2ouum ot any disturbance of the peace were
received he'e, and probably the riotous proceed
ings, if any are designed, have been postponed un
til a later hour.— Baltimore Sun .
A Nest of Scamps.—An arrest was made iu this
place some weeks since, which bids fair to lead to
the discovery of a precious nest of rascles, who
have been prowling through the South—there is
no telling how long, and with what effect—for the
purpose of robery and plunder.
Some three months ag->, two men, calling them
selves Williams, and James T. Henry, travel
ing in a buggy, stopped at the house of Mr. Joel
Suelson, in this' junty, with whom they exchang
ed their vehicle for one of but little value, receiv
ing the difference in cash ; they proceeded to Mr.
Callaway’s, where they dined, and when about to
»tart on their journey utter dinner, one-of the par
ty, Henry, oniy having got into the buggy, the
horse took fright, ran off, and dashed the vehicle
to pieces, and fractured the ankle of Henry in a
most frightful manner. The injured man was tak
en to the houso of Mr. Callaway, where for several
weeks, he received every attention and kindness
from the family, besides the constant care of a phy
sician. Williams, after remaining with him for a
week or two, pretended to have urgout business
in Tennessee and left, taking with him, as Henry
avers all the money belonging to the concorn, and
even the watch of the latter, though promising to
be back by the time Henry got able to travel. He
has not since made his appearance, and Henry,
having recovorod sufficiently to get about, came to
town some four or five weeks ago fer the purpose
of taking the cars, alleging that he had not a cent
to pay off the various debts contracted during his
confinement, but would send the money as soon as
he get homo in North Carolina. There being some
strong grouuds for suspicion, ho was arrestod un
(*er a bail process and lodged iu jail, where ho re
mains up to the present time. Upon commitment
a large bunch of false keys was found about his
person, and other facts came to light soon after,
that proved him extensively connected with a bund
of thieves that are now infesting the country.—
Since his confinement he has been corresponding
frequently with one John Benson, of Nashville,
Tenu., for the purpose of procuring money for re
lief from his present confinement. Unfortunately
for him the money did not come, and John Benson
(who is no doubt his friond Williams who accom
paniod him to this county) was arrested some days
ago iu Nashville, as will bo soon by the following
paragraph from the Whig of that city :
Anotheb Thief Arrested. —Two officers have
succeeded in arresting another wholesale thief,
whoso prospects for the Penitentiary are extreme
ly flattering. John Benson alias John Kiley,
&c., was caught in their toils on Saturday night.
In his trunk was found between seven and eight
hundred dollars in gold, and silver, a portion of
which was recoguized as the money stolen from
Morgan & Co. In another trank was found a
full set of burglar’s tools, from a wire lock pick
to a horse halter. On his way to jail it was sup
posed he relieved himself of his nortraonie, as
one was found on the stairway of the Kecorder’s
office containing u SIOO South Carolina note, coun
terfeit. which was also identified by Morgan &
Co., as amo g the money stolon from them.—
Other pi pers in the portmonie prove that it be
longed to him.— Nashville Whig.
We are glad to know that both of these raacals
are in safe custody with a good prospect of pun
ishment for their villainy.
For the information of •ho public we state that
Henry, (who, doubtless, has as many aliases as
his friend Benson) is, apparently, about 25 cr 26
years of age, 5 foot 7 inches in height, spare
built, with dark hair and oyes, and weigh* about
130 lbs. Perhaps some one who has suffered from
his exploits may recognize him from this descrip
tion. — Wilkes Republican.
Fugitive Slave Case. — We are ploasod to per
ceive that the majesty of law can bo maintained in
Ohio. The followin cases reported by tho Ohio
State Journal, from which we copy, were tried at
Columbus, Ohio, and a verdict for $3,000 rendered
by the jury against the defendant, an attorney at
law. Hero is the article:—
During a part of last week tho district court,
Judge Lovitt presiding, was engaged in trying a
case against R. K. Sloan, an attorney at Sandusky,
charging him with aiding in tho oscape of four
fugitive slaves. The actjon was brought under
tho fugitive slave law of 1850, for tho penalty,
which is ,000 for each slave. Two suits have
been commenced by different owners, but a3 all
the circumstances against tho defendant were the
samo, it was agreed that both cases should bo pass
ed upon at once.
The case west to the jury on Saturday evening,
and a verdict, wo learn, was agreed upon Sunday
morning, about 5 o’clook, and sealed up for tho
court. This morning the jury polled, and tho
verdict was not guilty in one case, and guilty in
the other. In the case of Gibbons vs. the defen
dant, the verdict of not guilty was found under
tho instructions of the court, of power of attorney
under which tho arrest was made being null and
void.
In the case of Weymor vs. Sloan, the verdict was
guilty. There were three slaves involved in this
case, nnd the penalty by law is fixed at SB,OOO,
which will be tho amount of the judgment, with
oosts.

Our Consul to Paraguay in Trouble. —The
United States Consul at Asuncion, in the republic
of Paraguay, has managed to get into very bad or

connected with the press in New York, was struck
by an incensed dragroon with the fiat of the sabre.
The Consul made reclamations on the government
for satisfaction, and took occasion to read a lecture
tc the government on the hostile feeling evinced
by the Paraguayans to citizens of the United
States resiaent there. The Minister for t oreign
Affairs replies in a note, which, for plain speaking,
may be regarded as a model for statesmen. He
charges the’ consul with perverting facisand sup
pressing truths; tells him if he and his family
would only observe the police laws as good citi
aene, no necessity would arise for such com
plaints; repudiates the insinuation made by Mr.
Hopkins as to the services rendered by him to
that republic; tells him he uses his posi

makes some interesting developments in oonnee
