through this section will be pleased to learn
that he has been chosen for so honorable
a post. The following bills have been in

By Mr. McDougal—A bill to alter the

State House officers to the people.

as this is a matter of expense to the State,
it makes but little difference whether we
have the one or the other; under the.pre

of these biennial sessions, as it did two of
the annual, for the one sits just twice as long
as the other. This arises from the increas

for this reason we think it very probal le,
that even with annual sessions now, they
would be somewhat longer than they were

that the Abolitionists had enticed him
off. Another party of Abolitionists, not
knowing that the slave had disappeared,
got out a writ of habeas corpus, which was
served on the master, who replied that the
slave had been sick, and be had brought
him to tbe North for his health, and that
he had ran off some days since. He was
not now iu bis custody, and was not desi

unprofitable servant. The case was thus

there is no apparent difficulty pending be

Shortly afterwards the Alcalde arrested
Mr. Greer and Dr. Fanning, without giving
any reason for such proceeding. The for

pany’s office prior, to being carried to jail,
and on his way thither a pistol iu bis pos
session was violently wrested from him.-—
YY hen disarmed, tbe alcaide struck him sev
eral times oyer the head and shoulders, un
til lie tell, when, on attempting to escape,
the said alcalde ordered his soldiers to tire
oil him. One of the balls from their raua
kets took efiect, lodging iu his breast. Mr.
Greer fell, and immediately be was set »] on
by the inhuman soldiers with the buts of
their muskets, and, .finally, dragged to pris
on, where Dr. Fanning was already con
fined.
An attempt was then made to place him
in the stocks, and was desisted from only on
the assurances of Dr. Fanning that if such
a proceeding were carri<;d out Mr. Greer
