Mr. W- Be west, who has recently visited the
Meziean towns ia the vicinity of Eagle Pan,
inferme the editor of the Houston Telegraph
that tha statement published lately, in regard to
the Bomber of runaway negroes that have col
lected in tboee towae is entirely correct. He
myc he was informed that ae less than two
hundred and seventy runaways crossed the fer-
Hoe at Eagle Paw and Lvedo last year. Sev
eral hundred also crossed at the fords above
Eagle Pees. It is estimated that there are not
bee than eighteen bondrr 1 runaways at the
lowa that has lately been built by Wild Cal,
near the month of Los Morse. Tbe greater
part as these runaways hava escaped from At
kaasas, hot at less: five hand red are, it is said,
fhgitrvaa from Texas. Wild Cat has a large
•amber of negroes armed pad they often aoeo m
puny him on his expeditions against tbe Co

He has made two anceeesfaJ forays into the
Comanche eoun y. On one of those foraya
ho had about two hundred Indians end one
hundred negro warriors. He attacked a largo
Comanche ledge, killed one hundred and fifty
warriors, and captured over one hundred hor
ses and moles. On his second expedition
•gainst the Csmutches, be was accompanied
by one hundred Mexicans soda large party nf
Eckapoor. Several hundred horses and
amine were captured, bat the Mexicans claim
ed the lion’s share of the spoil, sod this so
enraged Urn Kickapoos that boy stole aU the
captured property aod went buck to Red Riv

two ekiaa os of Baltimore oownty knfl boon
killod ia Ckort*>r eoaaty. Pa., «Uht ondoov
sting to recover boom slaves. Tha
eonfbanea whieh wo srprssssd in so correct
aot % of the report has boon eoaflrmod by tho
intelligence sices raoeivod, and which invests
tho affair with tha character of one as tha
bloodiest end most horn bio of outrages. The
particulars which wo hava haanahla to gaehat
’ ap to the time of writing thin are iaooom de
gree contradictory, hot this may ho ezplaiood
by ftartbar accounts. Tho following details
| are the most reliable that have coma to onr
knowledge:
A party es persons from Baltimore County,
consisting es Mr. Edward Gorsuch, his sea
Diofcineoa Gorsaeb, fail nephew Joehaa Gor
sach, Dr. Thomas Peirce, Nathan Nelson,
Nicholas Hau'hins, and another person whoso
name wo have beau unable to ascertain, went
into Pennsylvania for the purpose of recover
ing two runaway alavoo, belonging to the el
der Goreueh, and who v. era known to bo har
boring ia Chester county, at a small place call
ed Christiana, between Lancaster and Phila
delphia.
The party secured tbe aid of a deputy U. S
Marshal, ai d of several police officers from
Philadelphia, aod on Thursday morning pro
ceeded to the neighborhood in which tho slaves
were enppoaed to be secreted. When near
i the boose to which their suspicions were di
rected they met two negro men, one of whom
i waa recognised by Mr. Gorsuch as bis slave.
The whites gave chase and tbe negroes ran
and succeeded in getting into (he boose, whieh
i was closed against the panning parties. A
born or bagle was then sounded by tbe ne
groes in the bouse and a billet of wood was
thrown from the windows, striking one of tbe
party of whites. In the meantime a consider
able crowd, mostly of blacks, began to collect
around tbe hon. 1, probably called there by
the sound of the bugle.
Mr. Gorsuch and bis party attempted to force
their way into the apper part of the house
where the blacks bad fled, bat finding the ne
groes armed with guns, scythes and other
weapons and also finding that the crowd on
lbs outside was rapidly increasing, attracted
by the continued blowing of the born, they
cone'tided that it was impornble to effect tbe
capture of the negroes, and commenced a re
treat from the house. As they left (he house a
discharge of firearms took place from the ne
groes in the house, and Mr. Edward Gorauch
wee instantly shot dead, a ball entering hia
breast near the heart, and another taking ef
fect in the left shoulder of hia son. The ne
groes afterwards rnsbed on the wounded men,
and it is said, beat and mutilated them in a
shocking manner. The son of Mr. Gorsuch,
it is reported, waa entirely disembowelled by
a sweeping blow with a ceythe. Mr. J. Gor
such aod Dr. Pierce, it is said, was also dan
geroualy wounded, and we r e lying at a houte
in the neighborhood of tbe scene of the con
fliet, in an c'most hopeless condition. An offi
cer said to bo from Baltimore, was also wound
ed though not mortally, and wrv afterwards
taken to Columbia, where he wav lyirg at last
accounts.
Tbe aon of Mr. Gorauch after his father waa
killed, drew a pis'ol and shot dead the negro
who bad fired tbe fatal shot. He was then sat up
on and barbarously murdered in tbe manner
we have stated aoove. Tbe crowd that collect
ed about the bouse at the blowing of the born
is reported to have amounted to some two
hundred, showing evidently that tbe negroes
bad been informed of the purpose of the Ma
ryland party, and had mads arrangements to
oppose them in tbe murderous manner which
waa carried out. It is also reported that sev
eral of (he novroes were either killed or
seriously wounued during the affray, bat this
report seems to be unconfirmed by tbe more au
thentic accounts. Among the crowd who col
lected around the bouse there were a number
of whites, who not only relnsed, when called
upon by tbe Deputy Marshall, to assist in the
enforcement of tbe ’ w and tbe capture of tbe
negroes, bat actually encouraged them in their
murderous outrages-
The receipt of the intelligence of these hor
rible outrages has caused tbe meat intense feel
ing both in Baltimore county and this city.
Mr. Gorauch reaided oo 'he York road, at oat
24 milee from the city, where he was the own
er of a fine farm and valuable mill aeat. He
was well known throughout the whole coun
ty, and we may add, respected and esteemed
wherever he was known. His eon, and in
deed, all the parties who acted in the affair,
were persons of standing and respectability,
and the outage perpetrated uoon them whilst
lawfully and peacefully attempting to re-pos
seas themselves of their properly cannot, of
course, but be dciply felt. The slaves they
were in aeacch of • An away about a year since.
It is supposed that the information which put
tbe negroes on their guard, aod enabled them
to perpetrate tbe murder which followed, was
sent from Philadelphia, where Mr. Gorsuch
and hia frien> 1 first went to procure tbe neees
r try legal rd. This opinion has confirmation
in the statement published ia the Philadelphia
Inouirer, which says—
From tha beet rep jfi, we learn that the
colored population in the vicinity, having been
informed of tbe nature of the visit of the offi
cera to Ch istiana, held a meeting, and asked
tko opinion ofseveral leading Abolitionists as
to what course they should pursue. Tbe an
swer was, mobs of;he most correot reports
states, that Jh 1 ould stand their ground. Ac
cordingly, ah, if 80 negroes assembled, with
gons, Ac., and secre*ed themselves in the
neighboring woods and cornfields. Tbe eig
nal of attack on the officers was the blowing of
a horn. Whoa the officers cams upon the
party, they were surrounded on all sides, and
a deadly fire poured upon them by tbe negroes.
Additional Pmrtitularo. —Since the above
was put in type, we have ascertained from Mr.
Merryman, conductor on tbe Susquehanna
railroad, who came through from Colombia
and Harrisborg yesterday, seme additional
nsrticulsrs in relation to this horrible tragedy.
Young Dickinson Gorsuch. we are glad to
loam, is not yet dead, though hia condition it
such as to render hia recovery a matter of
extreme denbt. He was shot in tha left shoul
der, and also badly beaten and braised by
blows with a dub. The report that hs arms
mutilated by a eat with a scy the is not correct.
He ia still lying at a house in the neighborhood
of whore the affray took place. Joshua
Gorsuch aod Dr. Pei roe, though beaten and
braised by the negroes, we learn ware aot
seriously injured. Tha farmer came oa yes
terday moraine with the body es old Mr.
Gcrouch, which wrv buried yesterday afbr

Intervention.
W b have been exceedingly anzioua for a
public, eendid acknowledgment by the Con
atitntionaiint, that tbe doctrines held by tbe
Sontbern Rights party on tbe aobjeet of non
intervention are diometriesUy opposiU to tkoa*
prscloimed by the Dome erotic forty. mud former
ly held by tie most of the present member sos
the SoutJteru Rights forty itsefj.
We have proved this, by the rneolntiena of
the Democratic Conventions, nod by the meet
direci nod explicit quotations from ila own
columns.
The present stale of the question between
ns (for it it between,as, though it feigns igno
rance of tbe fact) is as follows. We establish
ed the fact that it ms for non-intervention.
It acknowledged explicitly that it had been,
but said that nonintervention earns lee lots,
because it came in 1850. We then proved
that its own advocacy of non-intervention
bore date in 1850. What was it now to do f
Its argument was upset, plainly to, even to
tbe meanest capacity.
The plan it adopted was to deny the obvious
meaning of the word. We then quoted from
its own columns of May 15th, 18C0—the
acknowledgement that, “By tbe Compromise
(of the committee of 13) wi oet Territorial
government and Roa-UTTsarsKTio■ on the
slavery question for the Territories.”
We quoted a similar acknowledgment made
Apri' 30th, lo&O. Ever since th:s decisive
evidence of the tense in which it used the
word, it still has tbe hardihood to write of
non intervention, as something which «) did
not get.
If it is not yet “sick and tired” of quibbling
on this aobjeet, we believe we can promise
that, provided only it u capable of penitence,
it shall be aiek, tired and ashamed of ita con
duct upon it, before wo got through with this
article. Wo do not expect to effect this salu
tary end by oar strength, bat by its own.
In tbe article of last month (August 22d)
it insia.a that by non-intervention was meant,
among other things, the following s
“Thalia es'ibl'tbing Territorial Governments,
thii equal pai.iclpation in them claimed by toe
. uthero f jople, should be recognised and secured
to them, and tbe p: >ple thus made equa’, left free to
de' .rmin* for them:-Ives whether slavery should
or at raid not form a part of their i tcial system.”
Again, in tbe earns at .isle, speaking of the
daty of Congress to remove impedimenta, it
aaye:
44 This Congress failed to do. TUa Congress
pertinaciously refused ro do. It ws«, is this, dere
lict to its doty and to ‘he just claims of the South.”
Not relying npon the evident folly of giving
the name of “non-intervention” to the ‘ inter
vention” demanded by tbe Constitutionalist,
we shall refer to ita own columns, of not on
wtskprovisos, and shew the explicit acknow
ledgment that whet tea did get mot nan-*»Or
nsntien If we had bad the writing of it our
selves, we eonld have made the acknowledg
ment no more explicit. Hera It is:
“ True, the-, i Territorial bills did not contain tbs
Wfiac: provi x They cootsinsd nondntzrsenliax.
Bat nen-intervanticn came too late.”— Cor xtt'ntim.
e’iit, Aug. 16th, 1851.
The italics are its own. r
Wo have offered ila own testimony that
hi got non irtirvwNii, taken from tbo paper
qf May 19th, 1860. In a former artieie we
offered its own teetimany, of April 30th, 1860.
Wo now offer the same again,
bearing date only Urn doge before ita dmiml.
The former ovidoneo it eonridered i»saffi
®iont. Does it wont more f Wo offer It now.
In n review of Mr. Toombs’ position on
liw California qeestion, it has occasion to
refer with greet point nod dfen iarincrian to
the true maaning of non intervention. That
■•R wnnld havefn he amaatar es the woof
langmge who could oxproaa moro forcibly tbo
opinion that **romoving haariia impodiaoenta”
winno —tent with tha doeirma ot non-inter
vamiou. Ho ridfooioo (the £*teo oI Mr.
Tnootno “in I£3o gravely oaßing on Conggoan
Bntwe vriff let him apeak for hlmaaif. for be
qpaofeo very plainly;
•* Ifo. Tssasbs is,with me important ezesptiss,
wkh the great tody es the democracy of Go rgia
in the above i oitiaae, and we hope tke great body of
W. eaiadde witk him. The exeeptiso
bo that Coogr j shall repeal the
Maxims, laws prshibMag slavery, or as he phrases
k, MmU rtou 3t hoetf'e impediments ts tha iatro
ooettoi and peaeeal la enjoyment of aH ear prop 'r.y
in tha Territories. Now, remsomg these tx-tile
impediment-, means rep. ilir 7 those Mexican laws.
It cannot mean nay thing erne. This demand of
Mr. Toombs is sa ths pissuaaptisn that thess laws
rare of force in those Territories, and moot continue
(*> until repealed by Cong re m. This has uniformly
bcMtbn nonitieu of Mr, Ttnacsaod of Mr. Ste
phens. It lathe pr lit 100 of Mr. Clay, and es the
Whigaof the Union generally, and of almost the
eetire North. Tbe Whig patty of Uenrula stan I
divided upon this question. Now, if these laws be
of farce, and therefore exclude slavery, if Congre; l
repeals them, will it not th -reby reestablish sis vary 7
Ccria'nly it will. Yet Mr. Tcxsos, iu the ta-re
sentence, tells Congress he doe* not a*k it to do this,
sod denies i»i power to do it. On the other band, it
it ab;y end conclusively demonstrated by Judge
Berries, tbit Ly tbe eorqusst and ahnexatKa by
tfesty, the Federal Coastitntkn became extended
ove; Ibe Territories ipso facto, and carried slavery
wito >t. Had tbe Claytao Cora promise bill not been
defeated by Me rs. Stephens and Tombs, this
qu. ion would long since have been -t to rest by a
judicial decision, Asitia, ve find .Mr. Tombs, in
1850, grjvely calling on Conxrrcs to pa i a law re
pealing anti-slavery laws. He had as well call on
Mas a:huo£fs ‘o p?rs c law rr-ot‘ ibliching slavery
in that S ate. Tlwre is at >ut as much chance for
tbe one as the other. The Demscrx'i *nsist that
Congress shall let the ruLj ct tbus— that it has no
rght to touch it, one way ot the other. Their dec
trine is nob-interventiok aa to slavery, on the part
of Congieii.— Constitutionalist, March 19, 1850.
Was it ever contended by any patty, that |
any other obstsrle except Mexican laws inter
fered with the rights of slave holders It is
against the repeal of such laws that the Con
stitalionjlbt contends in (he above, aa incon
sistent with the demand of the Democratic
party.
44 Tiie Denvt ruts ina : Rtthat Congress shall let tha
subject alone—ihct it I sno ri<jbi to touch 1, one
Way or the other. Their dr ;trine is mon-intes-
VBBtjon as io -Javciy ca the pait of Congress ”
The position of those demanding repeal it
states in another ar.icla to ka an “unfortunate
position fora Southern statesman to occupy.”
4 - The other poiatmide by Mr. Tomb* is not a
new one. But it is a write of words r Qr blm to
urge rt. It >stha( Ctagre-'rbould repeal the Maxi
cso Uws against slavery which Mr. T< uils cca
leods nre still of force. Mr. Toombs k.iowg, and
> did be ant? Mr. Sf sphev s nbea they usrtated tbe
Clayrca comprorrf > bill, thet this’would nc.be
done. This | isiiion concedes fj C=Jgie 11 jwer
to legislate on .be subject of slavery and >s an uu
foriuoate pt 'ii.oa lor a Southern t atesman to creu

se ze on it as her authority la legislate adver'i to

is, that Caogic-* sass sutbori. vto legislate on the
subject.

Can even the Constitutionalist longer deny
its abandonment of the Democratic doctrine
of non Intervention, as sustained in its own
eotninnsl Will it have tha manliness to ac
knowledge that it hks abandoned it f or will
it quibble f
’ Hive we not redeemed oar pledge to make
the evidence on this subject clearer than light f
Our object hes been to expose the gross end
palpable inconsistencies of ths mao of the
Southern Rifhts party and presses, and to
vindicate the Democratic wing of (be Union
party, from tbe false charge of an abandon
ment of their principles. Tbe Constitution
alist bos not ventured in self defence even to
bint that (here was a controversy betweat ns
on this sobject.

Dr. Jones: —Will yon permit me through
tbe colamne of your paper, to correct an erro
neous impression concerning myself, which I
have reason to fear obtains to a greater or
leas extent. Rumors have reached me, indu
cing the apprehension, that I may be nnder
stood to concur in the resolution* adopted by
the Union Nominating Convention of Rich
mond Coan’y, which I first saw in a neigh
boring State, on my homeward journey, af
ter an absence of several weeks. That, I
know, neither is, nor will be understood here.
Bat, where I had been previously reported,
opposed to tbe re election of Senator Berrien,
to whom those resolutions refer, end where it
is unknown that my name was before that
Convention, with my consent, accompanied
by the distinct dec'araUon that if nominated,
and elected, I should most certainly vote for
that Gentlemen, sock a concurrence may,
and probably will bo inforrod. Without any
expectation of influencing the opinion of
any human being, bat to avoid the appearsnoo
of vacillation, I desire to repeat what I have
recently expressed to a friend, on that subject,
