ABOLITION RIOT.

at Georgetown, Ohio, a small town not
far from Naysvile in this state, we learn
that a serious riot, accompanied with the
loss Of several lives, took place in the
" Red Oak Selt ement" near that village,
on Monday last. 1t seems that several
slaves, Belonging to Col. Edward Towers,
of Mason county, escaped the night be.

Robert Miller and Absalom King, in their
houses. They we're pursued by several
persons from this side of the river,
among whom were Col. Towers and his
son, whD received information OF their
place of concealment. Mlller's house
was searched, and two Of the slaves dis
covered, who attempted to make their es-
cape In the attempt to relake them,
they were resisted by Miller, who was
knocked dowu, stabbed, and lived bat a
few moments. The slaves were then Ia
ken, and the party proceeded TO the
house Of King, where the others were
harbored; they were met by four or five
armed men, who declared their delerml'
nation to resist any search of the house

Sill later from Washington.-By yesterday s
mail we received letters from Washington OF the
10 inst From them we CLEAN the following items
of news. The Senate on the 10 inst. unanimous.
ly confirmed the nomination of Mr.. Bancroft as
Secretary Of the Navy. Gen. rmstrong will
undoubtedly bo confirmed as Consul to Liverpool.
His nomination was to 90 before the Senate on the
! lth inst.
Hon. Cave Johnson has already entered upon
his duties as Post Master General.
The Secretary of War, Gov. Marcy, IS prac'
cal business man, and will soon understand the
wants of our Frontier He is also man of llb.
e,al mind, and he will not hold the 'parsimonious
grip on the public purse when estimates for tho
Ind. Dept and the military affairs are concerned.
He will do.
Congress has ordered that the scrip due the
emisrating Choctaws-ono half of which was TO
have been paid TO them when they arrived West
be invested in per cent stock. This arrange
ment will give satisfaction to the Choctaw nation,
particularly that portion in tho West. The in.
terost will be paid annually :; this will save the ma
ton from the evil Of large class of pauPers. who
would eventually have given trouble to the Co.
vernment and TO the Choctaw nation.
Since the 4th of March. and after the House
adjourned, the Senate ratified the Treaty made
with the Creeks and Seminoles, by the U. S. Com
mssioners, at the Creek Agency, last January.
The House no, being in Session TO mako an ap-
preparation, mono was made to carry the Treaty
out: We, tho Commissioner of Indian Affairs, will
upon the recommendation of the Senate. proceed
to remove and feed the Seminoes. but for which
no one will be paid unntil after the next session
of Congress; therefore those persons whoever they
may he, who take the contract for issuing ratons,
will do i, with their eyes open, and with the posi-.
tive knowledge that they will not get their money
for fifteen months subsequent to this date.
There will be no removals among the Indian
Agents, except the Seminole sub-agent; many
have applied for but only one will get it, and he is
a citizen Of Arkansas.
