Escape of Paroles.

The more 20 think of this event, the more
unfortunate do we regard it for the cause OF
peace, faint as our hopes were before Of the
speedy termination OF the war. Grave CEN
sure will fail on official heads Tor the future
to arrest Paroles. and yet we do not permit
ourselves 10 doubt that the Secretary Of War
aud the diplomatic agents OF the Government
III Europe Will be found TO have DISCHARGED
their duty in the premises in good time. It
is not necessary TO PREJUDICE the case and de-
signate more particularly those on whom the
weight OF responsibility rssts public opinion
has already declared itself with fatal distinct
ness.
From Vera Cruz we learn tina, Senior Alto
cha met Gen. Paroles after the latter landed
and recognized him. Paroles is understood
TO have signliied TO him 10y a sign TO "keep
dark and the handsome senior did so for the
space OF an hour or more-at all events until
the distinguished Mexican had passed out of
the city's gates. We have seen these facts
written from Vera Cruz by a gentleman TO
sense and discretion. From HIM we learn.
too, that Senior Atocha held a situation in the
Customs at Vera Cruz, from which he has
been promptly dismissed for connivlng at The
escape OF Paroles. Every day is farther de.
%veloping the fitness of Senior Atocha to acr
as the emissary eli our Government!
We learn, too, that Capt. Clark, the Por
Captain at Vera Cruz, has been dismissed
from his post for remissness in the affair o
Paredes. We mention this and what w
have said above on the authority of a private
letter from Vera Cruz, from a gentleman who
would not mislead us, and who should be We
~ well informed. 1t is his opinion that the
English have had a more direct agency it
the business than the facts yet developed
slow.
The correspondent Of La Pairia gives quite
a dramatic scene between Gen. Paroles and
the Mexican who furnished him with the ne.
cessary supplies for his expedition into the
interior. According TO this, the merchant had
been the political opponent of Gen. Paroles
in days gone by, but was touched by the APP
peal of the latter to his patriotism, the Gene.
raj avowing his purpose TO be TO throw him.
self into the arms Of his countrymen and pro.
cure a position in the army TO assist in the
salvation of his country. Whether the sketch
be fanciful or not, we deem it the true key tC
the part which Paroles will enact.
The same writer says that among the Mex
leans Of all parties the arrival of Paroles ha.
excited a general enthusiasm. They argu,
that Paroles will be able to derive from the
clergy the resources necessary to prolong The
war for many years. 1t is conjectured too,
that the six States which have formed the
Coalition and declared themselves opposed
to any peace, may call upon Paroles 10 AS.
sumo the leadership. Viewed in whatever
light you choose, the return of Paroles is re-
garded as injurious to the designs of the Uni
ted States, and very possibly to those of San
ia Anna. There can, we think, be no doubt
Of this.

FIRE AND EXCITING SCENE.

A fire occurred in the store and factory of
Mr.. kirkham, New York, on Thursday morn
ing. SO sudden and quick was the spread
of the flames thai Mr.. X. and his family came
very neal being destroyed by them.
One Of his daughters, Miss Margaret Kirk
ham, a young lady about 10 years of age,
only escaped, after being severely burnt, by
Jumping from the fourth story front window
of the room in which she slept. 1t was for
some moments a scene of the most thrilling
and agonizing interest to those who had as
sembled in front of the burning building
The fourth story, though even with the rest
of the ediiice, has very small attic windows.
At one Of these Miss. X. appeared, slrieking
in alarm, the fire evidently behind her, and
the smoke pouring out over head. No lad
ders had yet arrived, and her destruction
seemed inevitable-she tried at first to es-
cape the flames by which she had been al
ready severely burnt, got out on the
sill of the window, but it was evident
she must soon perish there, and the cry was
raised for her to jump-olher voices, among
which, by this time, was that of her father,
exclaiming, "not yet, wait a moment till
we get ready for you" A feather bed was
instantly procured, held about three feet from
the ground by six gallant hearts, who were
in great jeopardy that she might fall upon and
injure some of them, but they needed not and
cared not for that. BY this time Miss Kirk
ham, to escape from the smoke and flames
was compelled to let herself down, and was
seen hanging by her extended arms from the
window. slump now,'' was the cry
Vast numbers Of persons had now assembled,
and were lockers on the agonizing SCENE
The young lady soon let go her hold from
that dizzy height of upwards of fifty feet,
and in an instant was whirled towards the
sidewalk. The heart Of every person in that
vast multitude started in thrilling emotion
and suspense, doubtful as to her fate. In a
few moments the cry was raised, she is
safe" and three hearty cheers Went up, which
made the very welkin ring. The life Of that
young maiden appeared of more interest to
that immense assemblage than ten thousand
buildings.

Lncretia Mott

On Friday evening last delivered an eloquent
and impressive address in Friends Meeting
House, on the Rights and Duties of Woman.
She feels deeply on this subject, and when
she speaks upon it, speaks with earnestness
and power. Did her views on this question
generally prevail, woman, instead Of being
as is now too much the case, a plaything for
mln, an object upon which he delights to
lavish his batteries while denying her cquali-
" in the scale of creation, would take her
place as co-clual with him on the platform
of humanity, clothed with all the rights
which belong to her, and prepared to %intelli-
gently perform all the duties growing out Of
their possession-prepared to engage with
him in the various enterprises of the day, by
which popular sins are to be overthrown, and
the world redeemed from the vices and the
foIlies that now curse it.
a friend has half promised us a report o
her address, and if he should furnish it, we
shall take great pleasure in laying it before
our readers.
DEAD.-The Eastern papers bring %intelli-
gence of the death of SmAs WRIGHT of New
York, and Thomas w. DOM of Rhode Is
land.
The name of the latter is associated with
the futile attempt to establish a new govern
ment in Rhode Island, while-as the Wings
say-the old one was Constitutionally in ex-
istence. If he were mistaken, dearly has he
atoned for his error. His name used to be in
the mouth of every Democrat, hut since he
became useless as political capital, we have
heard but little Of him.
The former, taking the testimony of his
political enemies, was as honest and upright
as a politician can well be. Had he lived,
he would probably have been on the Demo-
cratic ticket for President, prOridcd the South
had consented to make a nomination. He
was a favorite with the Northern Democracy,
and so was Martin Van Buren,; and had sla.
very demanded it, he would have been sac.
riliced as Van Buren, was sacrificed.

DEAR SlR:-Tho select choir of the Gin
cinna,i High School have completed their
tour; having been absent seven weeks, and
travelled some six hundred miles. Our re-
ception has been generally highly gratifying.
Audiences large, receipts liberal. In no in
stance have our meetings been disturbed in
any way. The best order has prevailed in
our audiences. Marks of appreciation such
as are common in public assemblies, we usu-
ally discouraged. Our wishes were duly re-
spccted in this particular. Out of forty-three
appointments which We filled, four were held
in the open air, two in court-houses, three in
public halls, and the remaining thirly-four in
Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist and other
churches. In several instances our friends
could not get a meeting house the first night,
but had no difficulty in doing so after we had
been seen and heard. So far as We can Judge
from the remarks of friends and The opinions
Of the press, the chief object of our mission
has been accomplished. Prejudice has Civ
on away, and a SINCERE interest in the eleva-
ton Of the colored race has been awakened.
In only three of our regular appointments
were we under The necessity Of making ar
engagements with public houses for our recep.

From Vera Cru=.-Lieut. Col. D.. s. Miles,
L. S. Army, placed in the immediate COM
mand of the troops of Vera Cruz, and the
cavalry and infantry outside of the walls, at
the gate of Mercy and Bergard.
We learn that great Indignation exists in
New Orleans, Washington, and in Mexico,
In consequence of the omission of the L. S.
Consul at Havana to send information of the
fact that Parades was on board the English
mail steamer. Parades arrived at Havana
on the Sth ult. in the British mail steamer
Teviot, from England. There he remained
until the lllh, avoiding as much as possible
all communication with the residents. On
the lith the Teviot reached Vera Cruz, and
as soon as she cast anchor, Parades stepped
into a boat, was taken ashore, entered the c-
Iy under the name of Don Martina. He pro-
ceeded to the no use Of one Pope or Josa
Iamovra, who provided him with clothing,
money and swift horse. Thus furnished, he
left Immediately, passed through the gates
Of Vera Cruz unchallenged, aud took his
way towards the interior by a different route
from that pursued by the train. 1t is said
that he met a guerilla party a few miles from
the city, and was by them escorted on his
journey towards the Capitol.
A letter was received by the Governor
three-fourths of an hour after the bird had
flown. The cage was then closed, and $1,000
offered for the runaway. Evil is apprehen-
ded from this escape.

and that also one-half Of their securities in

ton. in all other cases, the utmost hospital,
ty was shown our company by the friends Of
the cause. The pupils could not have been
welcomed more cordially or received on more
OF an equality had their complexion been the
hircst Anglo Saxon. The influence Of SO
kind and Christian a reception has not been
lost upon them. Brought thus familiarity in
to social relations with the most religious, in
telligent, and influential families Of the State,
they have had oppoftI mites of learning les
SONS OF the first importance.
The pupils return to their friends with en-
lJrged views, improved manners, a higher
appreciation Of the importance of obtaining
finished educatious, and with hearts more
deeply imbued with the spirit of Christian
Love.
We regret that we are under the necessity
of say ing that We were refused the use of a
Chapel In OberlIn. Their apology for this
rejection was that such an exhibition Of the
pupils before audiences, would be injurious
to their characters. We have the best Of ev-
idcnce in believing that the trne cause was
that they considered my religious sentiments
TO be erroneous.
The total receipts are seven hundred and
thiriy-five dollars. Expenses will exceed
five hundred dollars. Two hundred dollars
at least will be added TO the Beneficiary de-
parliament for this year, making four hundred
dollars earned by the labors of the pupils
since March last. The liberal free-will Of
lcring of the Unitarian church of our city,
amounting to eighty dollars, gives us a fund
for this year Of -four hundred and eighty dol
lars.

interested III having the above statement OF
our success aud prospects, | submit it to you

The AMrRIcAN BoARD.-We are sorry to
learn that this efficient missionary Institution
Is entering upon a new financial year with a
considerable debt. On the first Of this month
the balance against the treasury was more
than $50. 900. and this Notwithstanding the
economy with which its affairs are managed.

And we are glad 10 learn it; nor does it

self to the devil, it is pretty sure to get chea-

perhaps raise the needful for the time being,
by baptizing Romanism, Mahomedanism and

The proceedings of the Whig Meet

will be found in to-day's paper. We
hardly ever saw more enthusiastic as
semblage. The utmost harmony prevail
ed-the resolutions were received with
applause and adopted unanimously-and
the speakers were frequently cheered in a
manner that told of the deep interest that
is felt by the yeomanry of our county in
the approaching election. The party
was never more firmly united and bent
upon success, than ii is at the present

Somerset-the "Banner County"-will
do her whole duty at the ensuing election.
