at Carlisle Pa. on "wednesday last, grow
ing oulzof an atiemptby the colored
population TO rescue some runaway slaves
from this State, belonging 10 Messrs. Hol-
ilingsworth and Kennedy, Hagerst"wn,
! After giving substantially the particulars
ofthe riot, as published by US oD Saturday,
| from an extra oflhe Carlisle Herold, the
News says:
We learn by.persons, arrived here, from
Carlisle, that Mr.. Keunedy's wounds are
more dangerous than as at first supposed.
He received seYere stab in the back OF
the neck from dirk knife in The hands of
negro also blow uponthe head from a
stone thrown by which he was felled 10
the earth. The cap Of his knee was also
knocked off by some means, and other in
juries inflicted upon bis person. Ills sup
posed that many weeks will elapse before
be will be able 10 return 10 his home.
Mr.. HolIipgsworth succeeded in getting
his negro away, and he is now in prison
in this place. We learn tina, he had in his
possession written directions as TO the
roads he should take and the houses al
which be should halt upon his way. This
we are informed, he says. was given to
him by white resident ofthis place; who
is particularly,active,in in inducing negroes to
abscond from their masters.
We also learned that the fray was OF a
very general character the whites, upon
seeing the disregard Of the negroes for the
decision Of the court and their bold attempt
TO trample down the laws Of the Slate,
generally, rallied 10 The aid of the owners
of The slaves. Numbers of the students
ofDickinson College, who were from The
South, also took an active part. Judge
Hepburn was upon the ground with The
Sheriff acting under his direction, busy
in securing the arrest Of the most prom
inent of the negro rioters. Many of the
negroes were severely wounded, and we
are told that at every post and corner was
some one to be seen, bloody aud bleeding
leaning for support.
To the junior ediio. of the "Mail' we
are indebted for the perusal Of several
letters received from the scene of the riot.
From these we learn that Professor M
Clin,ock, Of Dickinson College, was par
ticularly conspicuous in urging the negroes
10 the aliack-also, that the boy alluded
| to in the slip Of the Herald had died
from his wounds. One Of these letters
states that meeting Of his Southern
students Oft College had been called in
reference 10 Professor M'Clintock's be-
haviour upon this occasion-and il is sup
posed that they will demand his removal
from the institution or withdraw them
selves. One Of the students was slightly
wounded, and many other persons, white
and black, injured seriously.
Weha many others rumors in refer
ence 10 this affair, which we supposed to
be exaggeralions. One that a writ had
been issued for the arrest Of Professor NJ
| Clintock-another, that the wounds of Mr..
Kennedy were supposed 10 be mortal--a
third, that the negres contemplated an at
tack upon the Jail. We put no confidence
in them however. Mr.. Kennedy's negroes
escaped, and will perhaps, not be heard
from again-whiIe be, in the endeavor to
recover them, has, tits presumed from
The nalure,of his wounds, been manned for
life. s.s=5s,.I
STATE. Pride.-We were aware that
Americans generally are full Of State pride,
but we certainly did not know that our
volunteers carried it with then into Mexico,
until the following amusing article from
the SaIlilIo Picket Guard mot our eye =
"People at distance have moi idea how
much State pride there exists among The
volunteers in Mexico. Call Buckeye
a Eoosier, Hoosier Sucker, or Sucker
a Corncracker, or uice versu, and there's
circus at once-you're in for fight,
Straight. An amusing affair, arising out
of this feeling, took place at suffers
store, down street. few days ago. The
Mexican word for calico is indiana, pro-
nounced exactly as in English. At the
store in question. there is volunteer clerk,
10 whom Mexican stepped up and in-
quired. 'Hay indiana!' j. e. have you any
calico p Indiana, h-ll was the in.

Cunding.-Eight or ten weeks ago we gave
an account OF The suicide by female in
The water above Huicbesonlown Bridge,
and of the recovery Of the body few days
afterwards. The wife oil dyer who was
separated from her husband some few
years ago, disappeared about the same
lime, and the body answered the descrip-
ton of the dyer's wife so well thar, as a
member, be obtained Friendly Socieiy's

did wik due soemnily. On Monday while
sitting comfortable al his diuner, who
bounced in upon him but the Identical
spouse whom he buried, as he supposed,
eight weeks ago! Instead of throwing
herself into the Clyde, she had repaired TO
a neighborng town. The unfortunate hus-
band sorely laments that he must now re-
fund the S4.-Glasgoao Post.
