Copy Of a letter to a very respectable gen.
tlemsn of this city, dated MILroN, Sus-

Dear Sir-The contents Of this letter were
weighed sufficiently before | could feel at
liberty to write it; and after proper reflection,
! am at liberty to say. and truly iuform you
that an alarm took place this morning, be.
tween one and two O'clock, by expresses be.
ing sent through the country, from far and
near, to all the towns, and at this place, that
the negroes were landing somewhere below
Vienna, on the Nanticoke river-H)00 strong;
this we have in letter written by William
N. Polk, Esq. one of our first men. that has
been carried through this and other towns,
and to the Governor, who, with our leading
men, assembled this morning, long befure
day. Men at this moment are riding through
the country far and near, carrying the newsi
also are coming in from the country and
forming in co,npanes.-Thc volunteer com
panies forming themselves wherever they
are this morning at sunrise. Several of our
negroes are this morning missing from this
place.
When the express arrived at this place. iat
half past one o'clock our guards, who were
on duty, gave the alarm by firing number
ofguns and ringing the church bell that all,
both men. women and children, were in the
streets the female part. with the children,
crying. &c. which threw every thing into
complete confusion. MI business at present
is suspended, and every preparation that pos
sibly can be made is making.
The u. =. pieces of artillery are ordered
out for their place Of deposit.
The cavalry are now forming to convey in

up all the negroes, and putting them under
guard.
We are now waiting for the Governor and
the leading men TO assemble, to advise the
proper course To pursue.
am this moment called to the troop ofhorse.
In haste. your friend, -----.
We are now looking for fresh intelligence
from below in answer to the Governors ex
press
Our situation at present is alarming be-
yond expression.
We are assured that the character of the
writer Of the above letter, authorises US to
say, that nothing is stated but what was fact,
or believed to be so from The information re
ceived when wri!tenv although the statement
of the negroes being assembled in one body
tn The nwmber of 1000, is no doubt an exsg-
gcration.
Our correspondent at New York, remarks
on the above letter
II do not learn that there is any other in
telligence on the subject, and it Is rather to
be presumed that the whole is produced from
the agitated state offeeling at the south.

the consequence Of the opposite doctrine
would be monstrous For, man who
should actually steal horse in one of
the United States, and ride through all
the other States, might be tried and con-
victed for horse stealing, not only where
the crime was actually committed, but
in every other State in the Union"

The late term of the Supreme Court
3in Providence closed on Saturday, 1st
inst. There was one decision at this term
Of considerable Importance, as respects
criminal Jurisprudence. 1t grew out of
khe indictment against one Lowry, for
stealing watch. The jury found spe-
ciul verdict that Lowry took the watch
in New Bedford, from the owner, and
proceeded with it to Providence, where
It was found upon him and identified.
The question presented to the Court on
khis verdict, was, whether the defendants s
possession and detention, in Providence,
bf an article he had feIoniously taken ia
Massach chusotts, constituted legal theft
n that county, so as to render the de-
PENDANT guilty there. The question it is
laid was argued with ability by John
Iyhipple and Samuel Ames, for the de-
PENDANT, and by Albert c. Greene, Esq.
Attorney General, in behalf of the State.
The opinion Of the Court was delivered
" Chief Justice Eddy, III direct opposi-
ion to the decisions in Massachusetts
pon this point. Itisgivcn in substance,

etention Of goods in Rhode Island, which
ad been actually and feloniously taken,

ANOTHER JACKSON TRIUMPH IN BALTI.
MoRE.-Thc Election for Congress ant
the Assembly terminated last night, aft.
er one of the hardest fought contests ev'
er known in this city, in one of the most
complete and signal victories ofthe cause
of JACKSON, against every combination
of all the clements of oppos'tion,-neu.
trails, deceptive friends and open enemies
Col. Howard. the Jackson candidate fol
Congress, has beaten the Clay candidate
by the unprecedented majority of eighl
huudred and seyen votes.
Mr.. Worthiugton, who was also oppo.
sed by the late member, Mr.. Brown, who
took from him number of Jackson votes
has succeeded over Mr.. Finley by a
majority Of four hundred and seventy
nine votes.
The whole Clay vote for the Assembly
appear to have centered on Thomas Y.
Welsh for the Assembly. He is left one
thousand and thirty-one votes behind the
leading Jackson candidate Jesse Hunt,
and seven hundred and ninety-one votes
behind Mr.. Laurenson.
The issue is cause ofgreat self-grat-
ulation and just triumph. There never
were greater or more insidious efforts
made to divide, and distract the party.
But one Clay member was nominated for
COngress-and for him desperate and
tremendous rally Of the whole Clay
strength was made. There were three
candidates hailing as Jackson men in the
field,-and for the third man, the late
member, some ofthose who have hither-
to strongly proffered to support the Jack
son cause made jealous exertions-em-
barrassing to voters, and dIstracting ma
ny true friends by this insidious course.
All however, did not succeed. The peo-
pie took up the matter for themselves,
and have rendered such glorious result
in favor of Jackson, that demonstrated a
pure and uncorruptible majority in the
city of Baltimore for Jackson, against
all competitors for the Presidency. of
eight hundred votes Well done the
monumental city. True to her first love
her affection increases with time, and
becomes firmer and more jealous under
trials and opposition.

MAIL RoBBERY.- The mail between
this city and ElIzabethtown has been fre-
quently robbed, and all attempts to ferret
out thethief, have, until yesterday, proved
fruitless. A man named Henry Jackson,
who has been for severaIgears employed
by the contractor in carrying the mail TO
aud from Jersey City, was yesterday
morning arrested on suspicion Of being
the person who has committed these
depredations. The arrest was made un-
der the following circumstances. One of
the Clerns in the Post Office saw him
take small package Of letters from the
mail bag and put it into his coat pocket.
The Post Master was Immediately made
acquainted with the fact, when he sent
for Mr.. Hays, and had him arrested. Tie
was forthwith conveyed to the E'clicc

Madmcasca.-The report that party
of armed men from Maine had marched
into the British division ofthe Madawas-

rumors in circulation, was that of mag

his own authority, issued warrant, adj

Medical School IN Boston.

YENHE Medical Lectures of Harvard Univer-
sity delivered in Boston, will be commence
ed IN tie Autumn, at the usual period, viz, on
the third Wednesday in October. They will be
continued four months.
This extension in the term of the Lectures
has been thought necessary TO afford time for
such a course of instruction and demonstration
as is deemed by the Faculty to be requisite,
under the advantages which have recently ac-
crued to the School.
The Legislature of Massachusetts,, with an
enlightened liberality, which does honor to our
age and country, have extended the protection
of law to the cultivation of Anatomy within
this Commonwealth. The advantages which
will hence result to students resortng to this
school will be sufficiently obvious. 1t will be
the aim of the Professors to carry into effect
the intentions of the Legislature, in such
manner as to evince at the same time their re-
spect for the rights of humanity, and their in
terest in the promotion of the healing art
The opportunities for practical instruction
at the Massachusetts General Hospital continue
undimnished.
The Course OF Lectures will be,
On Anatomy and Surgery, by Dr. WARREN.
