NarroD escape from Lynching While a
party, not long since, were approaching Eicks-
burg, 1t was agreed that one of them, who
happened to have an Indian dress. should
pass himself off upon the inhabitants of that
fair famed town, as the celebrated OsEoLA.
The people of course gathered, in large crowds
to see him; but after some time, the imposl-
ton was discovered, when a movement was
made to reward the actor in it. with coat of

South, drawn upon shipments of cotton,
which, as cottons have fallen, and as they
were drawn upon the advanced prices,
now come back protested. This, as [
wrote you before, will be terrible intelli-
gence to our Southern brethren. How
frIghtlully does that now afflicted portion
OF our common country pay for trusting
itself to the Albany Regency, and for trans
porting it from Albany to Washington!
How melancholy the reflection upon this
act is that if the specie now going out IN
fvery ship had been permitted to 60, as it
would have gone if Gen. Jackson had not
pocke:ed the Treasury Circular, the spe-

limitation of credit to American houses
which have SO sadly knocked down the
prices of the great staple of the South -
The great fnanciers in Washington, how

NEW MAIL ENTS.-The
transportation of the grcatlna from Baltimore
10 Wheeling, under the new arrangement, has
been undertaken by those efficient contractors,
Messrs. Stockard and Stokes. They are to
run through at the speed of Seren miles an hoir
running time.
The transportation Of the same mail from
Wheeling to Cincinnati, has been undertaken
by MIR. Otho Hinton, who is understood TO be
the agent of Neil Moore & Go. Their abi!l-
tv TO perform their contracts is unquestlonabe
They are to run between Wheeling and Co
lumbus, at the rate six, seven, eight, or nine
miles an hour, as may be r.quired by the De-
partment, but at a less speed on the balance
of the road.
This IMPROVEMENT will enable the Depart
ment TO send the great mail from New York,
through Baltimore to Cincinnati IN to,r and
a half dayS-to Louisville in less than fre and
a ha'-and if an efficient daily steamboat line
be obtained on the rivers, to New Orleans, by
that route, in twelve days.
This arrangement through to Louisville will
90 into operation on the lst July next.
The carrying the Express Mail from Balt.
more or Washington to Cincinnati, has been
let at the reduced price of little over SIl3
per mile; being 40 per cent. lower than the
same service on the southern line. This mail
will run through to Cincinnati in three and a
half days from New York. The service will
commence on the first July.
The Western and southwestern branches
of this mail will be let in July, and 60 into op-
Grafton probably about the first of October.

GENERAL JACKSON Just as our paper
was going to press, we learned from gentle
man of high responsibility, just from Tennes-
see, that Gen. Jackson has come out in let

OF peace and good will. They should let
the world know distinctly what they be-
heve respecting the utter -incompatibility
OF war with our holy and peaceful religion.

Of peace-makers as will spontaneously

means taken the largest crop as guide to

ably expected, and, in some cases have
put the amount even below this And it
is to be observed that nearly one half is
occupied with meadow, which yields on
ly Si67 nett profit twill not need much
penetration; TO perceive that the profits BY
this mode Of farming, are many times
greater than by the common method.
IF farmers would adopt the plan of
raising as large crops as possible, which
could be best effected by combining, pro-
perly, draining, lining and manuring, and
ploughing in your crops, and by never
emitting judicious system of rotation,
we are confident that profit as great, on an
average, as the above, and in some in
stances much larger, may be obtained,
where as good soil is to be had as is
found in western New-Yor
Now although, as before stated, large
farms have decided advantages over small
ones, yet it will be perceived that all the
advantages of extensive farming NAV be
derived from those of moderate size, in a
far greater degree than is usually done

find among the champions of slavery a.
Professed disciples Of Christ. Who are
they who have taught that slavery is from
God? Christian teachers. Who are
they, that have so little hatred for slavery,
or SO little sympathy with the. oppressed,
or so much regard to public prejudice, as
to abstain from all public prayer that our
country's curse may be taken away. and
the light Of liberty break in upon every
weeping captive? Northern Christians
We know some pastors, who are much
inclined to do their duty on this point
For their encouragement we copy the
following:
REV. Timothy Stow, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in. Montrose, Penn
sylvania, records in the Emancipator his
experience of the effect of a pastors
preaching his sentiments fully on slavery.
"Some feared, when I came out in the
pulpit on the subject of slavery,~ that it
would drive the church and congregation
away from me. But my congregation
has never been larger, and, so far as l
know, my people were never more attach
ed to their pastor None ofthe fears of
my friends have been realized. and God
has shown me that Christian faithfuness
on this subject shall not lose its reward.
wish you to consider me, sir, as enlist
ed in this cause till death; and will en-,
deavor to prepare my children, after my
departure, to advocate more ably than l
can, the cause of the oppressed. NV
sympathies, my prayers, my efforts are
with you. In so holy cause | pray
God we may be preserved from bad
spirit, We have too much truth and
righteousness on our side to seek the aid
of the unkind and malignant passions.
Nor do we need the aid of coarse and
bitter language. Truth, warmly. benevo-
lentIv, strongly expressed, is, under God,
the weapon that we need.'
