Ejust appeared among usnJ and sneaaures' vere
taking to detain them.
This dreadful disease has appeared in Pe,ersbo-
by means Of an old shirt or coat, found among
some rags, which girl employed in paper mill
was sorting! The nature OF her disease was not
suspected for q notwithstanding which time she
longing to an extensive cotton factory: Great
alarm prevailed; aud they were resorting to an ac-
tive Vaccination.
Stephenson AMI LLoyd.
Rowland Stephenson, who embezgled the cf-
Iects oil his House in London, aud escaped in the
Kingston, (Which has arrived at Savannah) was
xtdnaPPed, 1t appears, in the neighbourhood Of
WA. .own, on the Iith inst.-This outrage against
thet lave was perpetrated, no doubt, with the
hopes OF obtaining the El500, which was offered by
the London Huuse as reward Cor his apprehen-
SION. The following is the account given In an
Extra from the office Of the Savannah Republican,
| oil this daring act of violence:
| ROWLAND STEPHENSON was this morning
kidnapped about IL miles from this city, aud before
any legal steps could be taken, to rescue him
from this unparalleled and outrageous violation Of
Inc laws, and profession afforded him from crini-
nal process, in the absence ofany treaty or con-
ventonal arrangement authorising his arrest and
surrender TO foreign government; say, in def
ance oil all this, Stephenson was, it is believed,
put on board a pilot boat, which sailed this morn
ing. Efforts were made by many citizens, to dis
cover Stephenson, for the. purpose Of affordiug
him protection, but is believed the pilot boat is
now at sea.
Z" We are no advocates Of Mr.. Stephenson: we
arc not defenders OF fugitives from justice; but
We, in common with the great body ofthe eitizens
feel indignant at this outrage.
" steamboat has been despatched down the
river, to overtake the pilot boat if possible
The Savannah Mercury states, that this outrage
was committed under protext OF legal authori-
y-fhat 1t had seldom witnessed greater excite
ment than prevailed in that city " the whole OF
yesterday, Qhe llth,) which originated, NO doubt
in the best feelings'-and that several individuals
engaged in:the transaction have been arrested,
and bound over to the next term of the Superior
Court to answer for their offence against the
THE steamboat had been compelled to put
back in a fog; and pilot-boat had been sent to
overtake the other, but she also had returned in
vain.
We have no feilow-f feeling for the Embezzler,
who cheats his partners and flies from the justice
oil his country-But, at the same time. who does
not despise the mercenary wretch, that will seize
man, under the temptation of reward, without
the countenance Of the civil authority, and ship
him of to distant country?-In the manner.
any man might be kidnapped, whether guilty or
innocent, whether daring felon, simple a.
gent OF a breach Of trust even a high-inin,,ed
Patriot, flying from the prosecutions OF an arbitra
/ ny Despot. IL Is the law alone which should sur
render the accused;-and il there be no treaty
stipulation, nor any law, whether OF the Fed eraf
or State Governments, nor any usage, 10 counte-
nance the surrender, it should never be permitted
to the slave OF temptation to seize his victim and
deal with him as he thinks proper.
AS TO Lloyd, the Clerk Of 3. Stephenson, there
are reasons TO believe from certain suspicious cir
cumstances stated by the Baltimore Republican,
that he had arrived in that town in vessel from
Charleston on Friday last.
MiSQUOTATION.
On Friday last, we made some remarks upon
the insinnations thrown out in two Boston papers,
that because neither Mr.. Tazeweli nor any Vir-
gnian was called into the Cabinet, Va. had given
out "early symptoms Of disafection," and "germs
of opposition" We denied this insinuation. We
asserted that, though the Cabinet might not be in
every respect moulded to her taste, yet she
would look to their acts, to his agents tina,
whoever were the men, she would Judge the m
by their nedsures-tha, there was no state i'm
the Union, more anxious 20 support General
Jackson than Virginia-that we had the best
reasons TO confde in the gritty OF his PURPOSES
| and that we had no such miserable, contemptibie
pride about us, to feel the slightest alienation
| from him, because he had looked elsewhere
for the composition fhis Cabine.-Onr expressions
were distinctly these "Gen jackson has seen
fit to make up his Cabinet from other States and
we are most console ntiously convinced, that this
circumstance has not produced the slightest alc-
nation in the bosom of single Virgintan. They
have no such miserable, contemplate pride about
them
will the reader be pleased to compare these
with the following expressions,pu put into our mouth
by the last National journal /? "it the Enouirer)
| asserts that Demonstration of the Cabinet has
not produced the slightest alienation in the bosom
Of single Virgnan"-As il his words '.the con-
| struction Of the Cabinet were synonymous with
| our own "ths circumstances" wis no Virginian
being in the Cabinet)-and then upon the faith of
its own misstatement, the ". Journal goes on 10
| trump up want of"harmony and copgruity be.
tween the two extracts" from our piece!
Some work is already carved out for the new
Secretary Of the Navy. The piratical schooner
Of 60 or 20 tons, which had robbed the brig At
entve Of Boston, off Matanzas and murdered all
her crew (the mate only excepted, who had con-
ceaed himself in the hold) is suspected of having
also robbed the New Priscilla OF Salem and made
away with her crew.
The authorities Of Cuba had offered reward
Of $4,000 for the capture Of the privateer s crew.
and several schooners were fitting out at Havans

u. s. armed vessel atHavana for the last four
months
FOREIGN APPOINTMENTS
II appears that the Senate adjourned on Tues.
day, without receiving nominations for the mos,
important Foreign Missions. Ii is probable that
the President awaits the arrival Of the Secretary OF
State, to consult with him in regsrd to such ar
rangements as may be deemed advisable.
