ELECTION RETURNS. Oar returns of the Election yesterday are very meagre. We give below all we received op to 12 o’clock, when the Telegraph closed. Our dispatches to the press of Charleston and Savannah were not sent from the office in this city—not being able to connect. Macon, Oct. C, 10 P. M. Bibb.—The State Rights ticket has been elected in Bibb by 50 majority. [A dispatch to the Constitutionalist reports Southern Rights tioket elected by an average majority of 65.] Macon, Oot. 6, P. M. Houston.— Fort Valley precinct, 85 Union majority. Cobb. —Marietta, 96 majority for Cobb. [A dispatch to the Constitntionalist reports a majority for McDonald ict Cobb county, and all the Southern Rights candidates for the le gislature elected.] Floyd. —Rome precinct, Union 320 maj.; Water’s precinct, Union 63 maj. Pike.— Griffin precinct, Union 60 maj. DeKalb. —Union 980 maj.—twj precincts to hear from. DeKalb.—A private dispatch to a gentleman of this city says : “ DeKalb gives 1,000 majority for Cobb •‘Floyd.— 7oo majority for Cobb, and favora ble reports in a'l tbo up country.” The Political Contest. Tax,great contest in Georgia will have been closed before this meets the eyes of our rea ders. The verdict of the paopia will have been rendered. Wo do not entertain a doubt that it will affirm the verdict of last year.— Whatever it may be, it will be binding until reversed Until the struggle of next yesr, on a more magnificent theatre, though scarcely more decisive In its results, the political strife will hive ended. We say, we doubt not the verd'ct of the people of Ueorgia. Alabama and Mississippi have already rendered theirs. So far as the South is concerned, therefore, the Union is safe. It yat remains to be seen, however, whether its Northern foes can be controlled by its Northern friends. In the North a final struggle is yet to take place. In the language of the Georgia Platform, “ There exists the real disafiection to it, and then must the strug gle for its preservation be made.” The South has ever venerated the Union. Fanatical ex citement and threats on the part of Northern men, created a just discontent. A protracted struggle resulted in a settlement, in which, though not without objection, the South can honorably acquiesce. The attempt to subvert the Union in consequence of this settlement has been unsuccessful at the South. We do not believe that the masses of tho Southern Rights party desired Disunion. The real dis affection to the Union eiista at the North.— Southern demagogues hive feared to avow openly their disaffection to it, thongh they have endeavored to weaken its bonds, and hoped to rise on its ruins. But there has been and is disaffection to the Union in many minds at the North, against the Union as a league with hell. This feeling has been fostered and stimulated by politicians, until what may have been in i:s origin, honest though misguided bigotry, has become a bloody and ruthless fa naticism. The party founded on it formed a third estate in the country. A parasite, it drew its sustenance from one or the other of the two great political parties. Enmity to an in stitution, recognized by the Constitution, w»s easily convertible into enmity to the Constitu tion and the Union itself. TAers, then, is the final battle to be fought. As we have said, we have the most unshaken confidence that the Union party of Georgia will triumph. If so, the party whose success we honestly believe would have greatly endan gered, if it did not set in motion, a train which would have overthrown the Union, will have been defeated, and the last hope (out of South Carolina) of Disunion for existing causes, will have been extinguished. We await the consummation of the struggle closed for the present -at the South, but to awake with terrible energy North and Sooth next year, not with the interest felt by tbe spectator of a great drama, but with that feel ing of anxious concern which watches tho progress of a raging fever in the system of a venerated father or friend, or rather with an interest akin to that kiudlc d when lha contest in his brain is betwixt madness and sanity, and wo know not whether reason will prevail, or our friend and father become a raving maniac. A .it 4 The Mobile Advertiser says that the water in tbe Alabama rivers is unusually low, which ope rates as an embargo to all communication with the interior. The Bigbee river has been aban doned, the lightest draught boats not being able to got to Demojfolis. It is said not to hav# been as low since 1819, The Alabama is qot in quite so desperate a condition, the smallest and lightest boats being able still to push over tbe bars with great difficulty and labor. Goob Dividebd. —The Mechanics’ Bank of this city has declared a semi annual dividend of twbbtt DOLLAKs per share, tbb payable on demand, and tea after the first of Novem ber next. The Rev. C. B. Jennette, Pastor of the Baptist Church of this city, who has been apending the summer with bis friends in Vir ginia, to recruit hia health, was, on Thursday last, we are pained to learn, considered dan gerously ill. Mississippi. — Col. Jeff. Deals.—There seems to be some doubts, says tbe N. O. Bulletin, as to whether this gentle man has or has net finally declined the nom ination of the ultras for Governor of Mississip pi. We incline to the opinion that he Acs declined. His letter of acceptance is dated on the 17th, and the Holmesville (Miss.) Banner of the 25th says that, upon reconsidering the matter, he had withdrawn his acceptance. On the 26th, he had lain, for several days, at his residence, near Vicksburg'dangerously ill, and this will profiably be assigned as Ihe reason of his declension. His letter of acceptance is a fanny doeumant. He never says Southern Rights f “ oppressive and fraudnlent compro mise,” but talks the nicest humbuggory about his being the Democratic candidate. There ii a change of music; here is tbe letter: ■nißurißiD, Sept. 17, 1851. A. C. Wilkitucn, Chairman, etc.: Sir : I have the honor of acknowledging the re ceipt of your letter of the 16th inst., informing me that the committee, which was appointed by the Con vention in June last, to fill any vacancy which might occur in the Stats ticket then nominated, had met, and found that the vacancy occasioned by the with • drawal of Gen. Quitman had been already filled by the people and tbe Democratic press of the whole State having nominated myself for the vacant pas’, and that the committee gave to that nomination their concurrence. Your letter also informs me that the committee were aware that the state of my health would not permit me to engage in the canvass. Under sueh circumstances, I have only to reply that my whole political life has been devoted to the Democratic cause, and the maintenance of these prin ciples in which originated the party of strict construc tion and faithful adherence to the Constitution. It is not in an hour when clouds have darkened onr for tune that I can refuse any poor service it is still in my power to reader. That cause and those princi ple# seem mere dear to me now than in the day ot their triumph, As acou as my health will enable me, 1 will pre pare an address to the people in answer to this nom ination, my acceptance of which has been taken £>r granted. At present, I can only return my thanks to the committee, and, through them, to the Democ racy of the State, for the confidence they have thus manifested in my willingness to meet any responsi bility, or make any sacrifice for the principles I have always advocated, and which I still believe to be essential for the preservation of that constitutional liberty we inherited from our rovolutiouary sires. Very respectfully, vour friend, JEFFERSON DAVIS. TheSMisaissippiau announces that Col. Je'- ferson Davis has resigned his position as Uni ted States Senator. Ihe Result of the Convention Election. —A I the returns in Show that the Union men have elected eighty-three members, and the Seces sionists seventeen. This (says the N. O.* Cres cent) is surely majority enough to settle the matter against Quitman, Jqff. Davis, etc., now and forever, unless they wish to win an ignob e triumph by the trickery of a part/ shibboleth Some of the secession candidates are fellowin. in Quitman’s steps. Hon 1(. H. Buford, who for the last eight years has represented Laf yette county in the Legislature of the State, in a well written article in the Ox'ord Constitu tion, declines being a candidate. The same reasons that induced Gen. Quitman te decline the canvass appear to control Mr. Buford. Judge Clayton has withdrawn from the canvass for the High Court in the Northern District. Hon. E. S. Fisher, of Coffeeville, is now the only oiodidatefor that high office. Why does not Jeff. Davis travel with the rest of bis orowd ? Maryland Congressional Election.— The returns from some of the districts are still incomplete,but enough is known to warrant tho belief that the following named candidates have been elected :— Balt. Amer. Ist District—R l Bowie, Whig. 2d do Wm F Hamilton, Dorn. 3d do Edw Hammank, Dem. 4th do T Yates Walsh, Whig, gain. 6.h do Alexander Evans, Whig. sth do Daniel M Henry, Whig. Health on Mr. Clay. —The Richmond Times says: “In a letter of recent date from Mr. Clay himself, to a friend in this city, the venerable statesman writes that his health has been feeble during tbe summer, but he believes it is improving, and be expects to go to Wash ington once more. Mr Macaulay’s M Emory —»We havet heard it said that there is au anecdote current to well informed circles of London, society, that Mr. Macaulay, the/hUforiati, once committed to memory, in the s'pace of twenty four hours, and actua'ly recited,van entire number of The Tines newspaper,.advertisementsand all. Mr. Macaulay’s memory- was characterized by Sidney Smith, as “a tremendous engine oT colloquial oppression."’ *■’ The number of Jews in Paris is estimated at 20,000 to 30,000. There is * o'ne large synagogue and between fifteen and twenty-two houses of prayer,—small aynagoguer, in which regular service is held. Mackerel Fisheries. —Meat of the large vessels engaged in the Fisheries on the Mas sachusetts coast, have this year resorted to Bay Chaleur. One hundred and forty ves sals have sailed from Gloucester alone, and with their cargoes are valued at over foujr hun dred thousand dollars. Their crews com prised some fifteen hundred men. In addi’ion to the abovo, the Boston papers inform us that there are fqurteen vessels absent from Annisquam, and six from Rockport. Many of these vessels are now on their third trip to the Bay this season ; and ali that arrive fora fort, night or three weeks to come will leave imme diately for another tare. The success of the vessels has not been eqaal in the Bay of St. Lawrence this year. At some points the vessels have obtained hand some faros in five or six weeks, while others have been absent from nine to twelve weeks, and have caught short of a hundred barrels. The Giocealer vessels have been unusnally successful, and vessels are arriving every day with full fares. , Bt. Louis, Oct 2. —Laterfrom Mexico.— Geo. Wilkins Kendall, ot the New Orleane Picayune, and his party, among whom is one of the editors of the St. Lonis Republican, who have been on a trip of recreation and pleasure! o New Mexico, arrived here yester day. They bring Santa Fe dates to Septern r her 2. By these gentlemen we learn the Coll Summers’ expedition against the Navejo Indi ans had reached a place called Cyrabitry, in , the very heart of the country, where they were engaged in erecting a fort. The Indians ware swarming in immense numbers in their rear. The difficulty between Gov. Bartlett and v~ 01. Graham baa not been tattled. The survey of the country was pro gressing nnder Prinoe. Dr. John Bamhise nas been elected Delegate to Congress from tho Territory of Utah. Boston, Qei. 2. —The pressure in the taonoy mar ket has resulted ia the failure ol several heavy firms. A gloomy feeling prevails. AUGUSTA, GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBERS. 1851. For the Chronicle 8f Sentinel. Messbs. Editobs:—l attended, a few daya eiace, the examination of the pupils, (under the supervision of Misa Parsons) of Brotherr ville Academy. The proficiency of the echo} ars was exceedingly-creditable to all concerned, but the prominent and moat interesting feature in the exercises of the day, was the presents* iou to Miss P., by her popila, of a magnificent writing desk, with all its paraphernalia- As an indication of a rare event, the entire har mony and good feeling existing between schol ar and teacher, it is, I think, worthy of record, and I hope you will give the addresses a plaee in your valuable Journal. Mias Parsons » t Canadian lady, whose amiable deportment am? fine accomplishments have won her friends among old and yonog. She is about to take eharge of the Female department of the Free School in your city. The presentation was most gracefully and appropriately made by Miss Lixzie Anderson, daughter of James Anderson, Esqr., of Burke County. A. M iBB Parsons i—The second year of onr pupilage with y<u is about to dose, and soon wa shall be forced to utter the sad “farewell” tp one we hare known so long and loved so well. But we cannot permit the act of separation te be consummated, without giving some expression to the emotions, which on our part, the occasion engenders. It was but natural, that on your arrival among us, a stranger in a strange land, our only greeting should be, the trembling apprehension of the scholar, igno rant of the system of school-government to be pur sued by the teacher. But eur fears were soon dis sipated, and we learned to admire a system, under the influence of which, we found, that firmnes-a without severity will begat respect, and that counsel and adaaonition will conquer error, where cruel'/ would confirm It. ('pan the younger of us, you have lavished the care and tenderness of a mother—to the eider, ycu have been a courteous and pleasant companies. While ycu have instilled iuto us the learning which gives force and vigor to the intellect, and embellish es the fancy, you have ever endeavorod to imbue us with that better knowledge which educates the heart. We requite you, in the respect and affection, which the able and faithful discharge of your duties so richly merits. And as a memorial of the pleas ant period of your scholastic guardianship, an 1 as a tribute of respect to your character and accomplish meets, permit me, as the organ of your pupils, to your acceptance of this escrutoire It has been ordered at the suggestion of our approving parents, especially for the purp se to which it is now devo ted. In conclusion, we wish you health, happjness and success, is the more extended field of duty, upon which you are ebeut to cn*er. MISS PARSONS’ REPLY. My Dear Young Friends; —I have not been so long a time your teacher, without having become most deeply and tenderly interested in your welfare, and as tho day, even the hour bas arrived, when our pleasant intercourse must be broken up, and to the most of you I must become but a name and re merabr’nc*, my feelings acquire that deep shade of sadness, which strongly inclines me to silence —for there are times when the heart seems too full C* utterance. But silence becomes not an occasion like this—from the abundance of the heart, gratitude must lisp forth its praises, although it be in feeble, faltering accents, and this opportunity of addressing a few parting words to you, my pupils, must be im proved. For two years, most of you have been associated together, and I am inclined to believe it has been to you, a pleasant and a profitable period. You may at times have thought me too severe in my require ments, but I think, when you have c’lmiy surveyed my relation to you, you will be led to acknow ledge tbit 1 was actuated by no other motive than a sincere desire for your improvement, and a sense of my duty to yourselves and your parents, and a high sense of my obligations to Him, who, when the school of life is over, will require of me a strict acc< ant. Should I say I have had no trials, while steadfast ly adhering to what I have believed to be my duty, it would be a denial of the truth. But cars and perplexity is the lot of all, and of none more than the teacher, whose duty it is, to conciliate dispositions of every variety, and develops into healthy action minds of every degree of ability. But with much pleasure can I say, that by your kind and obedient attention to my wishes, you have rendered my ar duous task comparatively light and agreeable. I shall part from you, with nought in my heart but kindliness and love, and if in the breast of one here, there remains a sense of wrong or injustieo from me, of that one, I ask forgiveness. My sojourn with you has. been mast pleasant. In it I have realized one of the brightest dreams of my Me, and gratified the choriihed hope of years. The visions which in my far-away Northern home, lured me on to tbo sweet and sunny South, have been mote than realized. I know full well ,in after life, when memory shall unlock her casket of treas ures, and unroll bar chart of vanished hours, permu ting me to gone once mere upon the sunlight and shadow, that the two years now closing, wilt appear like one of those green spots in the wearisome jour ney of lifo, upon which the mind will love to linger. . And to this people, whose kind and polite atien tions have rendered my stay here so pleasant, I would eay, your kindness is appreciated, but can never .be repaid. May the choicest blessings of Heaven be your reward, and may your last days be gilded with the sunniest rays ot peace and love. > And new, my pupils, for tnis beautiful tribute of i your regard, with which you have fevered, indeed honored me so highly, I return you my most grateful thanks. I cannot find wards adequately to express i all I would say. I receive it with inexpressible pleasure, and shall ever prize it aaa gift of love from you, " The thought that it ia such, enhances tenfold , tho preciousnes3 of yeur costly and splendid gift. Oft as my eye shall rest upon it, will your 1 ,ved forms, your pleasant faces, your acts of kindness, your words of love, as a blessed, beauteous vision rise before me. But I cannot leave you without once more urging upon you the importance of consecrating, in your spring time of life, your best affections and the first fruits of your intellect to the service of Him, in whom you live and move and have your being. The flashes of ephemeral pleasure which light up the life of gayety and dissipation, will be darkened in the gk>om ot satie'y and old age, but those whs serve God in their youth, shall find their pathway illumined at every step, and the brightest and hap piest hour, wil. be that, in which the eye closes for ever upon the scenes of earth. I now bidyou, each and all, an affectiona'e fare well. * „ - ' '* '■ 1 ‘ ' ' 1 »' " Boston, Oct 3. —Tho continued pressure in the money market, has resulted in the failure of one or two heavy firms here, out it is impot siblo at this moment to give an accurate list, so many rumors are in circulation.

Doeton, Oct. 2. —There was a very novel and at tractive race to day r over the Boston Lowell Railroad, i in connection with the Lowell Mechanics’ Fair, be ing a raee with locomotive enginea. Six engines entered lor the raee, the distance being nine miles, with a load of seventy tons. The locomotive “ Ad . diaon Gilmore,” belonging ta the Western Railroad, accomplished the distance ia 12 minutes 18 seconds; the “ Nathan Hale,” belonging to the Worcester Road, in 12 minutes 56 seconds; the others in about 14f minutes. The race was witnessed by an im mense number of spectators. Tho draught power lial takes place to- morrow. Leuieville, Oct. I.—Misa Sallie Ward, late Mr% T. Bigelow Lawrence, wai married to-day at the residence of her father, to Dr. Robt. I. Hunt. From the New York Express. i “ HlgHor Law” In Syrasuae. Syracuse, Globe Hotel, Oct 2. Mob law is triumphant in Syracuse 1 and the Empire State is disgraced. I arrived here last evening about eight o’clock, and found the city in possession of a lawless mob of negroes and abolitionists, encouraged by those teachers of “higher law” destinies, who always con tinue to keep themselves unscathed amid the violence they propagato. The fault in the first place seems to be that Mr. Allen, the Deputy Marsha! did not organise and arm a sufficient force to assist him in case of attempt to rescue. And then, after the outbreak, the Mayer of Syracuse, Horace Wheaton, took no sort of measure to quell the mob, while many citizens claiming to be honeat msn, were rejoicing openly at the success of vio lence. You are no doubt Rwara that Syracuse has long been the hot bed of abolitionism, where our country and its institutions have been grossly slandered ty every foul mouthed foreigner or native renegade with perfect im punity, and now the city is beginning to reap the fruits of its sympathy with wicked men. Mr. Gibbs, of Washington county, presumed the claimant of the fugitive wse armed in Court, and went into a long tirade about hoar hie face burnt with shame that each things were allowed. Tho fastidious gentleman’s cheek, however, did not at all appear to burn with shame while the city was in possession of a dis graceful mob and the law and ite officers were being trampled under foot. It is painful that ■U'-.h scenes should occur in the great Sta e of New York. It becomes every frieud of hiscountry, of our iuslitaiions and of the human race, to aronse himself and forever prevent the recurrent of suoh scenes as were enacted here last evening. I am told this morning that tho fugitive was conveyed away in ihe carriage of a physician of the town ; whether true or not lam at this moment unable to say. The Syracuse Star furnishes us with the following account of the exhibition of Higher Law in Syracuse in the Ist inst. We have bad the main facts by telegraph, but not the particulars of this most disgraceful occurrence. The Star of the 2d, remarks that the whole city was in a state of anarchy from 2 P. M.till 9 P. M., and Mob Law reigned triumphant. Fugitive Slave Case —At 12 M. y eaterday, a colored in in named Jerry, was arrested in this city by Deputy Marshal Allen, by virtue of a warrant issued by Joseph F. Sabine, U. S. Commiasoner, on the claim of-John 51cRey nolds of Marion county, Missouri, that said Jerry was bis slave and a fugitive from labor. Marshal Allen was aided in tho discharge of this duty by the Daputy Marshal of Canan daigua, Auburn, aud Rochester, by Amos Gilletof this city, special Deputy Marshal, and by a detachmont of the police of this city. No resistance was made by the fugitive, and he was brought from the First ward, where he was arrest id, in a carriage to the office of the Com missioner in-the Townsend Block. At 1 P. M. the examination commenced. Mr. Gibbs of Washington county volunteer ed his services in behalf of the fugitve. He remarked that he did not believe the Commis sioner would do anything in viola’-iou of the rights of the fugitive ; he stated that he did not believe the Marshal bad any more right to place handcuffs on the prisoner, than he had upon the commissioner. He proceeded at some leagth to comment upon the right of the Mar shal to handcuff him, and asserted that the agent of the claimant was silting in the Court armed with revolvers. * Mr. J. R. Lawrence, jr. of counsel for the claiman , replied that the prisoner was in the custody of the Marshal, and that he had a rigot to take every precaution to prevent his ercape. Mr. Gibbs inquired wiy a distinction should be made in this case, and asked the commission er to order the irons of the prisonor so be taken off. The Co 1 missioncr replied that he had no authority in the matter, though he 6houlJ ad vise the Marshal to take off the irons. The Commissioner then read the applica tion of Mr. Mcßeynolds, claiming Jerry as a fugitive from service. At this Btage of the proceedings, Gerrit Smith, who happened to be in town attending the Liberty Party State Convention, came into the office and took a seat by the side of the prisoner’* counsel James Loar, of Missouri, agent for the claim ent was then sworn as a witness. Mr. Gibbs requested of the Cotnm’ssionsr that he would disarm the witness before pro ceeding farther. The Commissioner replied that ho had no right to presume that the wituess was armed, and should taka no action in the matter, so long as Mr. Loar made no exhibition of weapons. Mr. Gibbs called on the counsel for the claim ent, to prove that slavery was au.horised by the laws of Missouri. He spoke at some length on this point Mr. Lawrence thought the ques’ion irrele vant, and requested the Commissioner to allow him to proceed with tbe examination of the witness. Mr. Gibbs objected nnlil it should be first shown that slavery was authorized by the laws of Missouri. " . . The Commissioner said that he regarded the objection of Mr. Gibbs untenable, and that his duty was to proceed with the ease- After a protest by Mr. Loomis of counsel for the claimant, against t’ae long winded ob jections of Mr. Gibbs, ths examination of the witness was commenced. Mr. Lear stated that he was a resident of Missouri, and had been acquainted with John Mcßeynolds since 1820. He testified to the signature of the Clerk of Hannibal county, and the seal ol the Court of Common Pleas for that county. Mr. Giobs obj acted to witnesses competen cy to testify as to the seal of the Court on tbe ground that such a matter required the certi ficate of a Judge of the Court. After a long discussion on this poiat, Mr. Lawrence was allowed to read the warrant on which the fugitive was claimed. Mr. Gibbs wished the Commissioner to take notice that he excepted io the reading of the warrant. , Mr. Lear atated that he was acquainted with Jerry sines he was a boy—that he was ac quainted with hia mother when she lived with Mr. Henry, th* z forraer owner of Jerry. At this stage of tbe proceedings tbe noise in the office became so great on the part of the spectators, that the Commissioner declared that it was impossible to proceed with the examina tion Mr. Gibbs requested the commissioner to adjourn, to allow him to oxamine hie authori ties. Whsrsupon at 2£ P. M., the Commissioner adjourned the examination for half an hour. After the adjournment was ordered by the Commissioner, we left the office, and for a report of what follows are compelled to rely ou tbe statement of those who remained. According to thie statement a rush was made by several negroes and white people for the prisoner, Marshal and other officers were i .overpowered, and Jerry forcibly carried off into the hall. The door of the Cotnmisaioner’s office was then closed by ;ha rescuers to prevent he egress of the Marshal and his assistants, I and Jerry made his escape to the street, not, i however, without being somewhat bruised by i his friends in their hasty efforts to aid him. By i them he was litt rally thrown down the stairs i and fell prostrate at the bott >m. Recovering his feet, be ran through Water st., to the By i racuse House, and thence through Genesee st. 1 in to Water st. again in an easterly direction. As he pa sed the livery stable of Mr. Dodge, a horse and wagon were called for by bis rescuers, but before they could be rendered available, he was arrested by police officers Way and Lowell, on Lock et. budge. Tbe officers escorted him by the ronte be had just taken te the Police, office, where he remained for the balance of the afternoon. A Whiteman whose name we could not learn, was arrested by officer Ormsbee at the time of the nrro'tof the negro, for striking officer Low ell. He is said to be a delegate to the Abolition Convention from Madison county and being known to Justice House was discharged by him, ou his own recognizance to answer to tbe charge. At 4 o’elock P. M., the mili’ary were or dered out by the sheriff, bat thß order was af terwards countermarded by Co!. Vanden burgh ! After Jerry had been deposited in the Police Office, a large crowd arsernbled on the steps and in the street in front of the office, and were addressed by an Abolition orator from Michi gan and by Samuel R Ward, the colored cler gyman and politician. A the concl isionof bis harangue, Gerrit Smith offered him his arm and they walked together to tho City Hall, where the Abolition Convention were in session. At half past SP. M. tbe examination of the Fugitive was resum’d by Comissioner Sabine, in the Po ice Office. Bfessrs. Ilillis and Mor gan were engaged as counsel for the fugitive. The same question was raised by the fugi tive’s couunsel as before, vix: that the record of the court under which he was claimed should have dechred that slavery was established in Missouri. Without deciding the point, the Commissioner adjourned tho examinatiou till 8 o’clock this morning During the progress of the examination last evening, the Abolitionists outside amused themselves with throwing stonis in a<. the windows of the room, We have nei her the time nor tho inclina tion at present to comment npon ho lamon'a ble want of energy exhibitod by the Mayor during the whole of the riot ol yesterday—or upon the conduct of other prominent citizens in aiding and encoaraging tho rioters. That unpleasant duty must be reierved for another day. wh9n all parties may rest assured that am ple justice will bo done them. P. B.—Athalf pa*t 8 o’clock P. M. last even ing a mob of negroes and Abolitionists broke into the Police Office and rescued the negro. Two shots were fired,but by whom we ore un able to state—And too nogro was placed in a carriage, in frrout of Dr. Iloyt’a house, War ren street., an driven oil by anotber-phys:- sician of this city. Thus ended the first fugitive slave case in Syracus9. The whole city was in a state of anarchy from 2 P. M. till 9 P. M. and mob law reigned triumphant. P. P. 8. We regret to learn that Deputy Marshal Fitch of Rochester, in resisting the rioters, had his arm broken in two places by an Abolition ruffien who is well known to ths officer. - Chas. Woodruff, special police officer, was also badly injured on the face and head. From the Syracuse Journal. Rescue of the Fugitive. —After tbe adjournment of tbe examination, the alleged fugitive was taken into an apartment bask of the Police office, with the intention of waiting till the dispersion of tbe crowd, when he was to be removed to a place of safety. But the excitement in the crowd continues to increase, and at half past 8 o’clock an attack was made on the Police Office, by a number of persons with clubs, axes, and crobars. The windows and doors wers broken through, and the Office filled with men, but the negro was still beyond their .reach. A plank was used as x battering ram and an entrance forced with it through tbe partition separiticg Ihe oiSce, and tbe apartment in the rear of it in which tbo no gro was. Residence was made by the officers hav ing the negro insharge, but the*/ were ovsrpowerod, and he was borne away by his friends. The negro was put into a carriage near Brintnull’s Hotel, and hurried out of the town to a place of security. More About the Brilliant. — The wreck of this unfortunate steamboat was brought down to tho city last evening, wi’hthe freight on board at tho time of the explosion, in a damaged state. Capt. Hart also arrival in the oily yesterday. He states that only three of the cabin passengers were ir\jured, one of whom was Mr Loriaon, editor of the Baton Rouge Advocate. Mr. Cotton, the first cleik, was badly wounded, as at first reported, but there arostrrng hopes of his recovery. Capt. Hart thinks that there wore forty-three of the crew, deck hands and firemen, killed by the explosion. The wreck was towed down by the steamer Cuba, Cap'. Otis, and now ties on tho opposite side of tho river below Gretna. We learn from Capt. Ure, of 'he steamer Gipsy, who arrived yeaterdav, that Mr. Lori sQO, of Baton Rouge, would, it was thought by some, survive his injures. * One of tho passengers injured, we are told, was a little boy sent from Lafayette to a school up tho coast, lie was standing above the boilers at the lime of the explosion, and would have fallen ia with the crumbling deck had nat.a gentleman standing next to him, and who escaped uninjured, caught hold of him. Aa it was, he was slightly scalded about the ears. — Picayune, Ist inst. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 2.—A fugitive slave named Harrison, from Virginia, was arrested near Dunkirk, and brought to this city yester day. After a brief hearing, Commissioner Smith decided that the boy was & fugitive slave, and that he would make out an order for hia return. He was ironed and taken to jail. The Court House was crowded with excited citizens, who made a show of resis tance ; but, after some slight skirmishing, within atid without tho court room, Harrison, however, was aafoly lodged in jail. To pre vent tho escape or rescue of the prisoner, he was handed over to a Buffalo constable named liamberi. The claimant of Harrison is Dr. Birry, of Hardy county, Virginia. The ne gro is a mulatto, and abouf 19 years of age. When about being removed from the court room, he siid, “1 would ra her die than return to slavery.” The Hon. Seth C. Ilawley and H. S. Love, Esq.,, appeared for the fugitive, and Jas. M. Smith, Esq-.. f° r claimant. Tho principal objection rabed in favor of the prisoner was, that the affidavit on which the warrant was issued did not state that Harrison escaped from Virginia, or any other place, but aimply'fbat he escaped. Tin* point was, of course, overruled. Four other fugitives, for whom warrants were issued, have escaped to Canada.
