Tbe MoDiifOin-ry Advertiser of Thursday,
chronicle*, after several weeks’ of dry weather,
“a copious draught of rain,” which it says
will be worth millions to the planters of that
State.
Awful ! —The citizens of Brunswick, in this
State, will regret to learn that the Lincoln Con
gress has passed an Act to change that port of
entry to some other sea port town—which, the
papers do not state.
The New York Herald of tbe.JJOrii says :
Out of one hundred aud fifty rebel prisoners
in Fort Warren only three are kept in close
confinement. They are Gener. Is Buckuerand
Tiighmau and Charles Keene, a privateer.
Commodore Tattnall —The Naval Court
Martial to try Com. Tattnall for blowing up the
Virginia, was ordered at the request, of himself,
and tmiy be considered in the ligbj, of an appcaj
from the decision of the late Court of Enquiry.
Capt. Avert. —We learn that the friends of
the gallant leader of the Georg’a Dragoons,
who was captured near Corinth, have received
a letter from him stating that he had been re
leased on parole, was in the Confederate lines,
aud would probably be exchanged at an eariy
day.
Ti>e Knoxville (Tenu.) “Register,” of June

reply to aneuquny addressed to us
by a soldier at Caustbn’s Bluff, we would slate
that when a citizen once enlists as a soldier for
the war, or for a term of years, he has no right
to leave the service until the close of the war
or the expiration of his term, and that whether
his age be embraced in the limits of the Con
scription Act or not.
Tbe Richmond Enquire! oi Tuesday c nlra
dicts its .former statement of an engagement,
through mistake, between the 12 h Virginia and
a Georgia regiment. The (Jth Virginia was or
dered forward on a report that tbe enemy bad
driven in our pickets, and on g icg aud return
ing they were tired iuto by several pickets, and
fifteen of their number wounded; nobody killed.
The Boston Journal asserts that the Govern
ment "has endorsed all the acts of General But
ler since he took possession of New Orleans.”
Then has that government ceased to deserve
at our hands any of the usages of civilized i li
tmus. It confessedly outlaws itself, and the
bauds of all Christendom should be raised
against it.
Exciianoi.no Pjusonkbs —lt is positively as
serted that Secretary Randolph will consent to
no more partial exchanges of prisoners. There
must be a regular system, or no exchange at
all. A Confederate Captain taken prisoner at
Kernstown, recently came through the lines
with permission to effect an exchange if pos
sible; but, under the rule adopted by our
Government, his errand was a failure, and he
returns to captivity.
Promoted.— The Macon Telegraph says :
We have been permitted to make the follow
ing extract from a letter received In Ibis city
by a gentleman, from his son, who is a member
of Company C, 6lh Gt. : “Col. A. 11. Colquitt
has been promoted to a Brigadier General. Ills
Brigade consists of the 6th, 23rd, 26 h and 27. h

command of the Regiment as Colonel. Phil.
Tracy Is Lieut. C.d mil.”
The Conscription Law.— We may state, for
the benefit of persons claimed by the govern
ment as conscripts, that the enrolling officers
have been instructed by tlie War Department
to pay no attention to certificates of disability j
from physicians at home, or surgeons in cauip, j
or discharges from the service prior to tile pas- |
sage of the conscription act, (except from
wounds received in battle) Conscripts wi'l bo
ordered to the camp of instruction, where they
can be examined by surgeons detailed for that
special purpose
“ Middla Georgia.” —The sentiments of this
writer are doubtless shared-in by every well
bred gentleman in the State. We read the des
patch referred to with indignant mortification
for the State whose character and dignity it so
seriously compromised. The threat was wholly
gratuitous, and shows how utterly unfit is the
present incumbent of the Executive chair of
Georgia to .represent a commonwealth of de
cent and respectable gentlemen. We cannot
help hoping, with our correspondent, that the
eyes of the people will be opened after a while.
Wh or A Fkizg We Missed. —The Petersburg
“Express” slates that our trorpe under General
Stuart, missed a valuable prize In the recent
brilliant reconnolsance made In the rear oi the
enemy’s lines. Gen. Stnart passed in his march
an esta e in New Kent county known as Hamp
stead, where General McClellan has established
his headquarters. At one time on the march
the Confederates passed wiihin six hundred
yards of Hampstead, and it is stated that Mc-
Clellan and staff were in the building at lb *
time at dinner.
Ektbkprizb —Some of our country * xt-hat.s;

the news. Asa sample of what is si.i.ivtiines
gathered up and vouched for, we submit the
following from the Columbus San. It Is unne
cessary for us to say to residents of Savannah
which we could do with perleet truth —that the
statement Is without foundation :
It's True —The paragraph which appeared In
our edition ot yesterday, relative to running
the blockade, proves to he correct. Three
vessel# have certainly landed a* Savannah with
valuable cargo s. How they git In, the route
taken, etc., we do not care to mention.
Official Hectoring —There are no two
opinions among decent, wcl'-'e-.j people with
regard to the language of Got. Hr. vrn’s des

ception of the Allan t InieHtgeocer— which
holds that tbe king can do uo wrong—it has
been universally condemned and approved by
the Press. Tue Klcbtn *ud Enquirer copies the

Extract from a letter dared WaynesviHe,

“ Five of our pickets, of Capt. StrlcklauUs
company, station-d at Hr. lroup’-- whose

three weeks s net* —tired into three of their
small boats containing c*ath twelve tuen. They

Were concealed, and not liking to allow se
large an armed force to land, opened upon
them at the distance of a hucdrvd yards with
double barreled guus loaded with ball and buck
shot- Tbcir fire was deliberate, and several
were seen to fall. It was returned without any
irjury on our side, aud then the boats retreated.
They could not have been after any peaceable

The Waist i mif tue A-uvrile, N C.
News, of use 18. h, msornis us that the putc

abundant crop, aud as twice the usual breadth
if land la in wheat, the yield will be enormous.
The NeXT’s from Virginia.
The ball opens well and brilliantly ia the vi
cinity of ! iehmond. Thus far we have no fault
to find with our part of the g'cat. battle lhat is
to determine the fate of the Confederate Capi
tal. It appears that our soldiers ate coolly and
firmly marching forward in the performance of
their high duty, that Federal columns and
batteries are disappearing before them a* they
go. But little is known thus far, but that lltt'e
is most cheerio#. The failing back of the ene
my several miles under our fire, and the pos
session of all the heights in the vicinity of
Meebanicsville by our troops, would seem to be
achievement enough for one day. The news
was received here with many evidences of sat
i-f.eiion, and intense interest is felt to know
further particulars and the final result.
i be most g'orious part of th e announcement,
though, was the fact that Stonewall Jackson
was present on the left bank of the Chickabom
iuy aud aiding in the great battle. Every eye
looked brighter aflif every pulse beat strong-r
ou reading this portion of the despatch. J uk
sop has, to-day, ten times the pnblb confidence
of any other gensral in the field, and an invol
untary sense of security comes over the people
when they know he is about and bas our cause
committed to his hands. We stated yesterday
that such was no doubt bis destination, feeling
assured that it ought to be, and a few hours
have verified our judgment. The five or six
Yankee Major Generals whom he has left be
bind searching for, or escaping for life from
him in the mountains, must feel blank indeed
when they awake to the truth of their aban
donment as game unworthy of his pursuit.
The ceasing of the firing on both sides at so
ei'lv an hour yesterday, looks singular, and we
can only account for it on the hypothesis lhat
the enemy, seeing their perilous position, sud
denly beat a retreat. We shall probably know
more before going to press.
Yankee Slave Tending —.V Cargo Taken
to Cuba.
We are informed, iff a citizen of New Or
leans, a gentleman of high character, who re
cently arrived from Nassau, that a cargo of
Carolina and Georgia slaves were recently
taken from Port Royal by a Yankee vessel, car,
ried to Cardenas, in Cuba, and there sold to the
planters of the island. We are also informed
that'the Spanish Consul at Charleston has re
ceived positive information of the transaction.
The report comes very direct, aud we have no
reason to doubt its correctness.
Now, here is a specimen of Yankee sympathy
for "tbe poor slave,”as he is wont-hypocritical
ly to term him. Southern negroes are seduced
from kind masters and comfortable homes by
promises of freedom and equality, ard by way
o! fulfilling the promise their Yankee benefac
tor tears them away from families ami friends
and seifs them into slavery ! Toe world should
be informed of the iniquitous transaction, and
the guilty nation that tolerates it should be
held up to universal scorn.
At the beginning of this war, soon after the
occupation of Hilton Head by the Federal
troops, we expressed the opinion that southern
masters had little fo tear-from a voluntary
abandonment of their homes by the slaves —
that Yankee rule for a few months would per
feetly satisfy the slaves with their former con
dilion, aud they would return at the first op
portunity afforded them. There was one source,
though, from whieli we apprehended loss. As
large numbers of slaves were being collected
ou tbe islands, we predicted that it would
not be long before Yankee slavers would make
their appearance in the. offing, and that finally
these deluded blacks would be stolen or induc
ed to go aboard, with or without the conni
vanco of the officers in charge, when anchor
would be immediately weighed and ali sails set
fora West. India*po t. Our prophecy has been
fulfilled, if all reports be true, in two separate
instances.
Tue Gainesville (Fla ) “ Cotton States.”
Tbe editor of this little fl x 9 brandishes bis
trenchant steel, in his last issue, in an attack
on our Army Correspondent. If his readers
are not enlightened, we hope that, at heart, he
feels better siuee disgorged of his bile. The
article is harmless, and consequently unworthy
of notice*, except from its unfairness in distort
ing an expression of our correspondent in one
ot his late letters, into a confession that he
“ had jiublished, as reliable correspondence
one thing when he believed another.” The in
ference is violent and unjust. When “P. W. A.”
says he defended Genera’, Beauregard at times
when lie “ believed his course at least ques
tionable,” he simply means to say lhat when a
clear case of error could not be made out
against a leader of our armies, duty to that
leader and the cause requires that, lie should be
defended rather than condemned. " (Juesti.lia
ble ” is the word used, implying that iu all
doubtful eases a general should be allowed the
benefit of the doubt. This is just and fair, and
every right-thinking mau will approve the sen
timent and the course of our correspondent
suggested by it, the opinion of carping scrib
blers for ob-cure new a* •- ■ be contrary
| notwithstanding.
Tn,: Yankee bLAva ,uim. — l’us business
seems t> in* progressing finely. Ia addition >o
the case brought to the public attention some
days ago, we perceive that a gentleman direct
from Alexandria, Ya., where the Yankees have
possession, Informs the Richmond Dispatch,
that two vessels left that portoce day last week
loaded with slaves stolen from the loyal citi
zens of Yirgiuia, aud doubtless bound for St.
Croix or some other West India Inland. A
vessel recently sailed from the York river,
where she arrived a few days previous with
Wer t lud'a fruits, and by the cunning and du
plicity ot the Yankee skipper and his crew,
many slaves in the neighborhood were induced
>to go oa board. As soon as a load of these de
luded creatures was obtained, the vessel drifted
off, and setting all sail, despite the tears aud
entreaties of the negroes, who too late dis
| covered the trap iu which they were caught,
! bore them off as prizes no doubt to Yankee
cupidity and gain. If anybody believes that
none of these slaves will be resold again into
bondage, he has more faith in their professed
liberators than iheir past history aud recent
actions justify.

Tljaßegtnnt-e tlie End—Bay Break*
lug on tlic Non them Confederacy.
The news! which we publish from the battle
field in Virginia is most unsatisfactory, as re
gards deta'jq yet there is enough to make the
heart of every southern patriot leap with joy.
Our long night ot revolution is approaching a
close, and the day star of independence is
shooting its rays above the political horizon.
Af.er nearly a year’s delay, the two great armies
of the belligerants have met in deadly strife—
bow deadly and terrific no one c an yet tell, lint
a tale of woe is in reserved for both the parties
t, the conflict. We almost shudder in the an
ticipation of the long and bloody roll of patriot
martyrs, that is soon to carry sorrow and wail
ing to so many hearthstones of the South.
Vet, they have nobly perished. They have of
fered their life-bfoed on the sacred-altar of their
c iuniry, and its smoke will ascend as incense
t > Heaven, to bring down blessings upon the
suffering nation, and freedom, and comfort, we
trust, to the loved ones they have left behind.
The particulars of the three days’ light seem
not to have reached even the papers of Rich
mond, published but a lew miles from the scene
ot action and wiihiu sound of the guns. Enough
is known, however, to assure us of a splendid
victory, the greatest of the w.ir if not of the
age, tor the Confederate arms. The great “Na
poleon” of the enemy, who, with,his two bua
dre^.thousand invaders, was to “drive us to the
wall*” and “ivvJ in the capital of she Coded
eiatcs,” has been driven neck for miles in the
rear of his intrenchments, nearly "all his bat
teries taken, many thousands of prisoners cap
tnred, his communications by railroad and teie
graph cut < If, and his entire army surrounded
as if with a wall of fire. The “Anaconda” has
been hemmed in, and according to our under
stand.ng of the ground and the situation of the
armies, there is new way of escape. To tight
through were impossible, to contest the ground
to annihilation is a tiling not laid down in the
book* of Yankee warfare, and if it be, it has
not found its way to their hearts. An humble
submission and capitulation of the entire, re
maining hosts of the enemy appear (o be the
only alter native.
Taking it for granted lhat our victory is com
plete, what next ? This question is almost as
important a* riie victory itself In Heaven’s
name let us not solve it ia the ignorant, bung
ling way we have settled all inch propositions
heretofore. Let us nuke the victory worth
something, and n' t trifle its fruits aw ay in vain
anticipations of results never to be realized.
Let ns follow it up, boldly and with a vigor lhat
shall strike terror to Die hearts of the enemy.
IDs country, not ours, should be the theatre for
enacting the remainder of this bloody diama.
We have an army that can inarch to Boston,
and we warn'd dictate terms of peace from
Bunker 1L 1. McClellan’s army defeated, cap
tured and demoralized, we shall have ample re.
serves in Virginia aud the West to manage the
rest of the Yankee army. The tables will then
be turned, and “subjugation” should be our
word, as it, has been the motto of our cruel
invaders. We would reduce them to jhe Con
federate yoke—not to make them a part of
ourselves, or even to govermthem, for they are
unfit for honorable associations or free govern
meut, but to punish them for their crimes,
and erjoy the privilege oi setting them once
more at liberty to work out their own destruc
tion. This they will do full early when left to
themselves. With the secession of the South,
the great balance-wheel of the Old Republic
was lost; their capacity for seif government
came to an end.
Unfortunately for us, we think, along with
this signal victory for our arms, comes news of
a probable hostile intervention of France and
England for the purpose of closing the war.
We hope it is untrue. We have managed the
Yankees very well thus far of ourselves, and our
prospect is even more promising for the future.
We prefer to “ work out our own salvation,”
even though it be done “with fear and trem
bling ” aud through much “tribulation.” We
had no friends in our adversity, when wind aud
tide were both setting strong against us, and we
prefer to decline them now, when the storm is
passing away aud our bark floating gloriously
into her destined port. In any event, we pro
test against any foreigner’s setting bis loot on
Confederate shores with a hostile intent, even
in our favor. The English and French fleets
may do what they please on the high seas and
at the mouths of our rivers, for there they have
a quarrel oftheirowu wi,h the ships of Lincoln,
and we shall n juice at every success, but on land
it is our tight, and we insist on tugging it out
alone to the entire satisfaction of ourselves and
the common foe. Let England and France
raise the blockade—or sink it, which would be
better—bring us tho’r wares and their merchan
dize which we need, and take back our cotton,
rice and tobacco, which they need ; do this and
the uses we have for them will have been ac
complished.
Latest. —The news from the battle field
which we publish ou this page, is still more
cheering. If the report of McClellan’s move
ments bo true, the fight is over, the Federals
ore whipped, and are making for their gi.n
boats to save themselves, or what is left of
them, from destruction. We shall await this
morning’s despatches w ith anxious interest.
Later Accounts,
The news from Virginia continues to im
prove as it comas to ns from day to day. There
can be no doubt now, if the despatches are to
be believed, of the utter defeat and over.hrow
of the Grand Army of the Federals under Mc-
Clellan. They have quit fighting, given up the j
contest as hopeless, burnt all their stores, and
decamped for the neighboring swamps and
jungles with the hope of reaching their trans
ports and guuboats, and thus to escape the just ■
vengeance of those whom they sought to en
slave. It is, indeed, a grand moral spectacle,
a righteous retribution. Thus ends the labor
of months, the expenditure of hundreds of mil
ions, the.anxious expectations ot a greedy and
remorseless tyrant. Let it be an example and
a warning in all future time for the mighty who
would Impose on the weak, for the cruel des
pot who would feed his starving millions ou
the blood and sighs and groans of freemen.
There is a God who rules on#.igb, who watches
over the just, and brings the schemes ot wick
edness to naught.
There can be no mistaking the result of these
engagements. Even Abolition mendacity w ill
stand appalled and be forced to confess the un
welcome troth. Bull Ran was not. a more pal
pable, inglorious defeat. The lying Herald will
quail and acknowledge the shame that has fallen
on the Federal arms and cause. Stocks of every
kind will -ro down, and specie go up to from
$1 30 to II 50; Lincoln will stake in his boots,
; and general consternation se'ze upon the entire
' guilty North ; the day of retribution will have
I come. \ain glorious boasting will be turned
to puling, pitiable whining, and a terrible fu
ture will loom up before their horrified visions.
Such will be some of the effects at the North
when ihts glorious Confederate victory shall
i l ave broken upc-n item in all its appalling
5 truth. In Europe, it will strike off the scales
| from all eyes, remove all scruples, and vindi
cate our new Republic as a claimant to a place
in the great family of nations.
Important far Invalids.
The following despatch has been received by
a party interested from the Secretary of War:
| “ Richmond, June 25 —The invalids may be

! bonn, near Marietta. If no answer can be had

The hosts of McClellan’s grand army of 200,-
000 men are irt lull retreat, before the Confede
rate I glons. Toe utter rout and defeat of these
hosts, or enemies, may afford us tojne instruc
tive teaching..
The Duke of Well hit tod said to Sir John
Moore, who wrs kili-d at Corunna, in Spain,
whilst repelling an attack by Marshall Junot,
who had been pursuing him, that the only ertor
committed by him, was, iu not providing for a
retreat. Sir John, commanding the English
army, had advanced from the Coast of Portugal,
to relieve Madrid, which was threatened by
Marshal Souls. after twelve days’ march into
the interior, he was assailed by Janot, Duke
d’Abrantes, and compelled to fkll back upon
his fleet and transports, at Corunna, a sea port
of Spain. Here, under tlie walls of that town,
after having lost one half pi his army in the
retreat, together wish 1.500 horses, aud his
military chest, he held Junot at b y, and lost
his valuable litc.
This has been the fate of McC print; and bis
vandal hordes. S ifliciqnt is* known of his move
ments to assert, that be made no Vproo'w'tm for
a retreat. Our latest telegram announces t hat
he had crossed over to the right, or west h>u k,
of the Chiekabotnin.v, with the purpose of
reaching the James river, and with ’.be hope of
finding transports and gunboats at some point
on that river, iu Charles City caipnty. He lias
burned the bridges iu his. rvarkf pur
suit by “Stonewall.”
But he will not find transports or gut.boats
for sixty thousand meu, not even for five t hou
sand. Moreover, he will find himself in a r.ul
de-sac, from which there can be no escape.—
Charles City county forms a narrow peninsula,
bounded by the James river and the Chicka- 1
hominy, which empties into it. At this fork
there are no bridges to reach Williamsburg, on
the road to Yorktown, and he must cross either
the Chiekahominv or the James river, or pass
under the Caudlne Forks of aijeet submission
and surrender. In addition to this, in crossing
the Chiekahominv at. Long’s bridge, he was
compelled to pass the right wing of the Con- I
federate army, and in sight of it. The just. I
probability is, that on the 29.1 t the Confederate j
right wing had changed front, and dashed upon i
the retreating vandals. The J inies river is j
twelve miles from Lung’s bridge, and on our j
right wing. There is no retreat possible in such i
a space; and if there were, McClellan has no
transports at that point, excepting, perhaps, for
himself and staff and a few thousand troops
Meanwhile, “Stonewall” is advancing on the
cast side of Die Chiekahonainy towards Wil
liamsburg, to cut him off; in that direction a j
spaee of twelve miles, encircled by victorious j
Confederates, offers no earth’y -chance for an- 1
other anabasis, or retreat of “ten thousand.” I
To-day’s telegrams will determine the reality ;
of these speculations. Or teachings from the !
enemy. Jasper Green, j

Salt!—’Site Soutlrern Field aud Fire
side. |
In the last number of this invaluable and in- j
structive periodical, the Editor, Mr. Daniel '
Lee, Terrel Professor of Agricultural Science, j
makes the following remarks on the Salt j
Springs of Abingdon, Virginia. They lie on j
the railroad from Knoxville, Tennessee, to j
Lynchburg, Virginia.
“We found at Abingdon, Washington county,
Virginia, the Gypsum and OuoDdaga Salt group
of rocks, folly developed, and the richest Sait
Springs on this continent. These springs are
in the hands of a close monopoly, which make
only 2,500 bushels of salt per day, and sell it at
seven dollars a bushel at the works. The saline
fountain, in all human and scientific proba
bility, is equal to the production ot
25,000 bushels daily, and at cost, not to exceed,
in these wartimes, .25 cents a bushel. Our
business here is to persuade tlie Slate or Con
federate Government to take this natural de
posit of salt into its own hands, and open ud
its advantages to ail our people. Governor
Letcher is favorable to our views, and if the
Confederate Government places no obstacles
in the way, we shall soon be making salt at the
rate of five millions of bushels a year. Twenty
gallons of this brine gives a bushel of salt, aud
we shall deliver i t freight cars rixty gallons of
this brine for fifteen cents. A single train of
cars will take away brine enough to make a
thousand bushels of salt. In a word, tbe State
can sell brine at one-tenth tlie price charged
by the company, make money, and increase
the product of the salints a thousand per cent,
above their present production. The State of i
New York sells brine, to make a bushel of salt j
to every oue wanting it, at one cent, to pay for j
pump work. This is at the Onondaga salinas i
New Yotk.
We have pleasure in placing the “Feld and
Fireside” at tbe head of this notice, and we
recommend this instructive periodical to the
public. Mr. James Gardner, Editor of the
Augusta Constitutionalist, is its Proprietor.—
Subscription price $2 00 per annum. We can
not speak too eoinmendably pf the enterprize of
Mr. Gardner, in sustaining under the immense
difficulties of the times, this Southern periodi
cal, devoted to Agricultural Science, and to
Literature, and tenoral intelligence. Professor
Lee’s articles on salt, from which we have ex
tracted. is alone worth a year’s subscription,
just now. X.

Our correspondent at Waynesville has sent
us the following correction of a former com
munication, which appeared in our issue of
Tuesday last, accompanied by some comments
and suggestions of oir owu. We take pleas
ure in setting the matter right., and also in
withdrawing our strictures which were based
on the information as it reached us :
Waynesville, Jane 26th, 18(52.
j lr. id tor: —In writing you some days ago
an account of the Yankee doings in St. Marys,
I gave the report as I received it. I was not
pr< sent and, of course, was not a witness. Since
I wrote you I have been informed that the
Yankees landed between two and three hun
dred men. Two hundred performed the work
of removing the machinery, and the balance were
thrown out as skirmishers-, that our men did
fire ou them, but having double-barrel guns
could not approach sufficiently near to do in
jary to the Yanks, who were armed with long
range ritl s. Nothing could induce me to do
injustice to the gallant officer who commanded
oue company at St. Marys. If he failed to drive
off the enemy, it was, I am sati-fi*-d, not his
fault. The enemy are becoming quite bold of
late. Since they removed the mill from St.
Marys, they came up in their boats to Carte
right and took off a small vessel belonging to
Capt Stephens, and on their way do *, n the
river called at Bassett’s Island and carried off
a load of rice, saying, on leaving, that they
would return shortly for the balance.
Injustice to the < ffieer in command at St.
Marts, as well as his men, I beg you will give
this'a place in yonr next issue. X.

We extract the following from a business let
ter received at this office bearing date—
Sapelo Rives, June 28,1552.
Ti ere is nothing new*htre, unless it is a re
port that the gunboats have administered on
Mr. Jacob Barrali’s plantation near Darien, and
are removing his rice to their ht-adqu triers.
This operation is rather a serious affair, as the
benevolent old gentleman may have left it in
his bans, in the goodness of his heart, as a nest
egg lor the widows and orphans of the brave
soldiers who are protecting fats property day
and night. They are not.amphibious, how \ct,
and cannot swim to the islands.
For soma time the gunboats av- been fur r
ing on a brisk and sate business in lb'* n-gro
speculation, and it is supposed that they i.vq
established plantations on the sea islands n th s
county, as they are passing constantly to loon
at their crops. This iflay be a very pleasant
recreation to them but a fatal blow to a-. Can
you not, in this emergency, prevail upon our
patriotic Governor to have the fugitive slave
