IMPORTANT AND MOST FLAGITIoUS DE.
ClS!ON IN OHIO.
No s,arery in Ohio.

No slavery IN OHIO.
An interesting and important decision
has just been made by the Supreme court of
Ohio, sitting at Lebanon, in the case of A.
L. Brooke and others VS.. the State, being a
writ of error in the court of common pleas
of Warren county. Chief Justice Lane
and Judge Hitchcock on the bench; the
chief justice delivered the opinion of the
court, deciding, that if the owner of the
slave voluntarily bring him into this State.
or permit him TO come, although it should
be only for the purpose of visiting or trav-
cling through from one State TO another,
the slave in such case becomes free man
the moment he touches the soil of Ohio; and
consequently that if, under such circum-
stances, the former owner, or any person,
should attempt to detain in bondage, or car
ry away the slave thus emancipated, against
the will of the latter such pretended owner
or other person would thereby become him
self a volator of the laws, and might law
fully be resisted and prevented in his pur-
pose in like manner as any other person
who should be found attempting the COM
mission of a crime.
1t will be observed that this decision in
no degree interferes with the provision in
Sec. 81, Art. 4, Of the Constitution of the
United States, that "No person held to SER
vice or labor in one State, under the laws
thereof escaping into another, shall, in con-
sequence Of any law, or regulation there
in, be discharged from such service or labor;
but shall be delivered up on claim of the
party to whom such service or labor may
be due"

DC The Indians, it seems, are still at
work in Florida. A letter received at st.
Augustine, dated Pilatka, +. f., May s,
brings the notifying intelligence that the
war is not over after all. The letter says:
"On the afternoon of the Sd instant citi-
zen was shot near Fort Tarver by the Indi-
ans; he was penetrated by three balls
Yesterday morning he was still alive, and
said he saw two of the Indians when they
fired. The troops at Micanopy, as soon as
the news arrived, were Instantly put in
motion, to drive these daring marauders
from their present haunts near the settle
ment. 1t supposed this outrage was done
by Advertisements band, who has lately
refused to conc in to Tampa Bay or ne
gociatc-leaving il to be inferred he intends
to be hostile. For aught that can be dis
covered, this puny Indian war in Florida
is likely yet to last many years.

CHAs. f. MITcuELL ARREsrED.--Mitca-
ell, the American forger and late member
of Congress, says the Montreal Herald, has
at last been captured by the Montreal po-
lice, and the fact is another evidence of the
vigilance Of Capt. Comeau. Mitchell was
taken at Tongue Pointe, few miles from
Montreal, and was foolish enough to at
tempt to throw above $4,000 into the ST.
Lawrence, circumstance which could not
have benefited him.
Mitchell, the forger, says the Montreal
Courier of Friday, is securely in jail and
will, it is believed, be delivered up to the
State of New York upon demand of Gov.
Seward. This man went first under the
name of Goodwin, and then passed some
times under the name of Forward.
1t is rumored in our political and busi-
ness circles, that the Governor of New
York has requested the President of the
United States, or the Secretary of State,
to make a requisition for the abscondng
Forger, Mr.. Mitchell, upon the ground that
he himself has no power to make such Il
requsition; and it is added also, that the
Washington Government declines upon the
ground that there is no precedent, or that
the most it can do, is to turn the case over
to the British Minister, requesting his
friendly nterposition. As there is no trea-
ty between the United States and Great
Britain for the surrender Of Criminals, the
surrender is but a matter of courtesy, which
the Canada authorities will hardly feel the
necessity of yielding to after our harboring
50 many of their rebels, and the refusal, in
a very pal pab!e case, to surrender the Que
bee Gu! prit. whose nam3 we think was Dr..
Holmes, and who fled to Vermont.
The peculiar and complicated position
of our Federal and State Governments, as
well as the Provincial condition OF the
Foreign nation on our borders, the subjects
OF European power, arc constantly in
volving us in questions, which, it is pity
can moi be settled by treaty or by some Ju-
dicial decisions. 1t is doubted by some,
and probably denied by Governor Seward,
if he has made the demand spoken Of that
d Governor of State can hold no official
comm nication with Foreign Govern
ment, and in the case of the Caroline, we
saw the Executive of Upper Canada Or
dering and iustifyng an attack upon an
American steam boat, which for long
time, the European Government hesitatCd
to avow, and subsequently only avowed,
as it would seem, to save one Of her sub
iects from the danger of an execution.
inc case of Mcleod, we have ust seen
presents many new questions as to our
State and Federal Courts, which the public
were for long time debating upon, and
which are hardly settled yet, though the
general opinion seems TO be that he is in
the hands of the State Courts, AMI must
continue there, until a case of necessity
should be made out to Justify the Federal
Courts to interfcrc.-N. Y. Err.

BALLooNrxG.--A Paris correspondent of

BALLooNING.--A Paris correspondent of
the New York Commercial Advertiser says:
The lovers of acrostation, and indeed the
lovers Of science in general, will rejoice TO
hear that a mode of navigating the air in
balloons, by giving them any direction that
can be desired, even against the wind, has
been adopted. An experiment has been
recently exhibited near Saint Denis, to Illus
trate this important fact. The balloon, at
Tho height Of $50 yards, was worked in
every direction By the persons in it, even
the teeth Of an adverse wind. 1t also as
cended without the throwing out of ballast
and again descended. These evolutions
lasted laree hours, after which the intrepid
aeronaut returned to earth and aIighted as
comfortably as he would have done from
an ordinary carriage"

READING AND wRITING.--We stated last
week that man in Chester county, Penn.
had been approhended on charge of for
gerry, owing TO his having written to his
wife a letter setting forth his whereabouts,
which she, being unable to read exhibited
to a ncighor, and thus made the public ac-
Iuainted with what should have been Sc
cret. On this subject the New York papers
say, never marry woman who cannot
read" We think it probable that some of
The lady editors will head the same story in
this way: "ncver marry a man who can
write" 1t was the knowledge of writing,
and not the inability to read that caused
the crime.

PRESIDENT LATHROP AND THE
ADDRESS,

N
ard College passed resolution, inviting
President LATuRoP, of the State Universe
ty. to deliver an Address to our citizens,
connected with the subject Of education.
The resolution was communicated to him,
and on last Saturday at IL o'clock in the
forenoon, he addressed the citizens of this
county, at the Christian Church in this
place.
The subject of his discourse was Ba-
cons Notwithstanding is Power"
He stated and illustrated very fully, the
ascendancy that knowledge gives to indi-
vidual over individual, in the same society,
and appealing TO our love of republican
institutions, strongly enforced upon his
audience the necessity, in Government
like ours, resting on the will of the People,
of general diffusion acknowledge through
out the whole community. lie also stated
and illustrated the ascendancy, that knowl-
edge gives to nation over nalion-and now
appealing to our patriotism, urged upon
US, individually and collectively, the obliga-
tions that we are under TO contribute our
utmost, to the general. moral and intellect
ual elevation of the American mind. The
immense power over the physical world,
that modern science has conferred upon
man, was referred to, and enlarged upon.
In the course Of his remarks he took
occasion to refer to the intimate connec-
ton that existed between the University,
and system CT good Primary Schools,
and showed, we thought pretty clearly,
that the success Of both is in a good meas
ure dependent upon the success of each
other. He spoke in conclusion, in deli
cate and handsome manner Of the struggle
that had recently taken place between
Boone and Howard, for the possession OF
the University.
We do not pretend to furnish even as
much as short synopsis of the discourse.
We remark however, that it was listened
to throughout with marked attention, and
received with great appreciation. Both
the matter and style Of the Address, as
well as the general demeanor and bearing
of President LAT1IRor, while among Us,
made favorable impression upon Cur citi-
zens, and gave them assurance, that in Sc
Letting head for the University, the Cura-
tors had looked well to its interests.
The people of Howard have an equal
stake in this Institution with the people of
Boone, and none, who know our citizens,
will imagine that disappointment here, al
the result of the recent generous competi-
ton between Boone and Howard for the
location of the University, has been sue
cceded by mean spirit of envy, that
would be gratifed by failure of this great
State School.
We understand that the Trustees of
Howard College applied to President LA
THRoP, for copy of the discourse for
publication. We are not informed of the
result of this application, but express our
hone that If has beon successful
