ThC carlisle Slave Case.

A correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune,
writes:
GA deep interest is felt in this community
in relation to the forthcoming trial of the per-
sons alleged to have participated in the riot
on the I'd Of June last, growing out of the ar
rest, in this borough Of three fugitive slaves,
claimed to be the property Of James II. KEN
nedy, Esq, and Gen. Hollingsworth, of Ha-
gerstowD, Md. The fact of so distinguished
a gentleman as Prof. McClintock of Dickin-
son College, being connected with the mat
ter, gives additional interest to the investiaa-
ton about TO take place. This morning,
(Aug. 25th.) at nine o'clock, the County
Court again met, and at a few minutes past
ten, the Grand Jury returned true bills against
Prof. McClintock and IS others (colored per-
sons) for being concerned in the riot of June
last. The said Jury also made a p%resentment
against Rev. J. V. f. Thorne, a well-known
clergyman and resident of Carlisle, and four
other individuals-negroes; but as no bill
has been found against these persons, of
course they will not be put on their trial at
the present term of Court.
4 X
A Jury was then sworn in, after which ].
Ellis Bonham, Esq, the Prosecuting Attor-
ney, proceeded to state the facts of the case
which would be proved in evidence.
The bill of indictment contained three
counts-the first of which charged simply
riot and breach of peace. The second-riot-
ously assembling with the purpose of produce
Ing a breach of the peace, and for the addi-
tlonal purpose of rescuing slaves then peace
ably and lawfully in the possession of their
owners. The third-assault and battery"
Subsequent accounts state that all had been
acquitted except twelve of the colored men,
who had not then received the sentence which
was 10 be pronounced upon them for daring
to protect their brother against Southern p-
rate who robs men not of their property mere
ly, but of their bodies and their souls. Had
it not been for the accused Union which our
fathers formed, Carlisle would never have
been disgraced by the presence of slave-catch-
ers, or a Pennsylvania Jury compelled to rem
der so infamous a verdict.
The citizens of this country execrate the
conduct Of the Russian Autocrat, who finds
it necessary to Danish to Siberia the master
spirits of the Polish People, in order to pre-
serve the Union between their country and
other portions of his Empire; and seem to-
forget that they are themselves guilty of a
greater wrong toward every colored man of
the North who dares to give needful aid
and comfort 10 the flying fugitive of the
South. Again we say, and we call upon ev-
cry colored man who has the spirit of a man,
to join us in it, AccURsED BE THE AMERICAN
UNION!

YELLOW FEVER AT New ORLEANs.-Tbis
epidemic is raging at New Orleans. There
have been more cases within the same length
OF time, than in 1887 when it was so very
bad-the deaths however do not more than
equal those at that time. The poor emigrants
suffer severely, and truly theirs is a hard lot.
Oppression drives them from their native
land, from the homes Of their childhood, and
instead Of finding a warm welcome in this
country where food, and labor, and land are
plenty, they are regarded with averted looks,
tainted as interlopers, and left to perish with
the shiP-fever in the north and the yellow fe-
yer in the south-left to die alone-strangers
in a strange land.

A Fool AT II FALLs.-On Wednesday,
a iltle excitement was created at the Cata-
Tact House, Niagara Falls, in which a young
Soulherner acted the ninny. On entering
The dining room he was about seating him
sell at the breakfast table, with his ladies', in
chairs reserved for others. The waiter very
politely informed him that such was the fact,
and offered him another place, when the
Southerner drew his knife with the intention
OF stabbing the waiter! After a few minutes
OF disturbance, the young blood paid his bill,
and Notwithstanding the rain was pouring
down in torrents, left with his ladies for an
other house, Rochester Democrat.

THE FRUITS OF WAR.

A friend who sTent the last winter in tray
cling through the South and Southwest, in
forms us that the detestation with which the
present war on Mexico is regarded in that
quarter, is by no means adequately expressed
by the Wing journals of that region. The
war is in truth nearly as unpopular there as
in the free ~Stales-openly denounced by the
mass of the Wings, and c%overtly disliked and
condemned by a great portion OF the opposite
party.
He says that the demoralizing influences
of this war can never be adequately realized
by those who have not personally observed
them. He was at different ports on the Mis-
sissippi when the troops despatched last Fall
and Winter to the Rio Grande were muster
ed into service. They were mostly young
men, from 90 to % years of age, apparently
(the rank and fle) sons of the poorer farmers
and mechanics of the interior. They were
in the main a good-looking, well-behaved
body when they arrived, but the lessons of
the camp gave a rapid growth to vice, and
the week after they received their bounty-mo-
ney was too generally a week of drunkenness
and dissipation. The sobriety of few was
proof against the exposures and excitements
Of their novel mode Of life.
The mortality induced among them by cas-
n~alities and dissipation was frightful. Of a
Mississippi ~company-not full at hrst-fen
had been buried before they reached New Or
leans. At that place, they were camped out
in an exposed and swampy locality, through
days and nights of incessant rain, which con-
verted the ground beneath them into a slough.
Some had their blankets washed away from
the places where they attempted to sleep
Death of course was busy among them, and
by the time they had reached the Rio Grande
.one-third of the whole number had been
swepta away, without seeing the face of a Mex
ican.
On all the Western waters, but especially
about New Orleans the number Of discharged
soldiers, disabled by wounds or diseases, was
appalling. Their money had all gone 10 the
sutler and whisky-seller, but they had been
provided with some sort of a conveyance as
as far home as New Orleans, whence

Limavillr, Stark Co., April 3.
Reader, does such a religion bear any re.
semblance to the pure, merciful, just, and
peaceable religion taught by the Savior Of
mankind ! or, on the other hand, is it not The
religion of Devils, and is not that God whose
cause is injured, as is stated by j. II. White
in his letter to the Pittsburgh Christian Ad
vocate, by teaching men that "therefore al
things whatsoever ye would have men do un
to you, do you even so unto them !" for this
is the Abby Kellyism of which he complains
and surely if a man is indeed a follower o
Christ, he would reprobatc that "laith >
which consigns men, women and children
to slavery and 10 the Sword, and at the same
time burning and destroying their dwellings

a few months past. There is at present n
great increase of the Missionary spirit in va.
rious Theological Schools. Of those con-
nected with the Union Seminary at New
York, twenty-six have signifed their willing
ness TO enter the foreign field OF ministerial
labor, on the completion of their preparatory
studies"
And TO effect their purposes they present
you with such horrible details as the fol-
lowing:
Human Sacrifces.-Rev. j. Clark, Mis-
sionary in Africa, says :" A Calabar, West
ern Africa, there has been a fearful sacrifice
of more than one hundred persons for a son
of the late King. The poor creature had
been dancing egbO all day, and drinking
mimby, or palm wine, in large quantities,
when he died the same night. 1t is suppos-
ed he was poisoned. This may be the case
or it may not, we cannot tell. The aged
mother cried out, in African frenzy, that she
had lost her last child, and now had none to
whom to leave her property and, therefore,
plenty of slaves must be sacrificed. Those
at market, and all who heard in time, fled in
to the bush and will remain concealed, or
out of the way, until the sacrifices cease,
which is sometimes more than a whole year"
Which are less horrible than those they per-
petrate themselves. Read the following:
Ghasfly Fun.-In Mexico, where our butch
erly government is killing of the people Of
both nations by steel, lead, and fever, as if
their lives were of the least possible conse-
quence, there has also been established a
little of the more civilized sport Of killing
with hemp. The commanding General has
established at Tampico a little Of what is
called ''prOtection Of human lJe," and APP
pointed an amateur butcher, one of the edi-
tors Of the New Orleans Picayune, Judge
Judge F. A. Lumsden, it must be confessed,
goes through the role with becoming gravity
and dignity. A poor Mexican is broughtbe-
fore him, who. taking pattern Of a couple Of
Christian nations that shall be nameless,
fought a little battle on his own hook, in
which his enemy's loss was " one killed."
1t was not thought best to shoot him, or
make him sleep on the ground, without a
blanket and die Of the fever, according TO the
general practice of the locality, but to finish
him, for the fun of the thing, judicially. So
the ceremony of trial and conviction was
gone through with before an American jury.
And the sentence Of Judge Lumsden was So
lemnly delivered, with lie usual quotation IF
Scripture made in such cases. The Judge
asserts that The Almighty atone has the right to
take life, an old judicial joke, which became
very luminous in Tampico by the military
light it reflected. -Chronofype.

ity except in acquiring the routine of militia

WESTERN ANTI-SLAVERY FAIR

1t is proposed to hold a Fair, TO aid the
cause of emancipation, at the time and place
OF the next Anniversary Of the Western An.
ti-Slavery Society and the object of this
Circular is to invite all, TO assist in prepar.
ing for that occasion, who are the foes of op-
pression-who desire that our country shall
be redeemed from the rule of tyrants-who
wish to break the yoke of the captive, and to
repel the aggressions which slavery is ma
king upon our own rights. Whether the
contributions shall be worthy of the cause
worthy the high professions of those who
stand forth as the friends of liberty, may
greatly depend, reader, upon your Efforts
Are you willing to contribute Of your abund-
ance or your penury ! are you willing to slim
ulate others to good works, and unite with
them to bring your neighborhood Offering,
and lay 1t upon The altar of humanity? II
you have neither silver nor gold, are you
willing to consecrate a portion of what you do
possess to this cause? Let the farmer and his
wife bring grain and wool, brooms and bask-
cts, cloth and other manufactured articles
let the dairymaid come with her cheese and
butter, and the miller with his flour-let the
halter and timer, the saddler and shoemaker
present such needful things as their several
handicrafts can furnish-let the merchant,
contribute literally of his stock, and those
who are skilIful with the needle bring such
useful and fancy articles as their ingenuity
may devise.
The proceeds of this Fair will be appro-
priated to TIE support of the Anti.Slavery
movement In the West, either by placing
them at the disposal of the Western Anti
Slavery Society or applying them by direc-
ton OF the donors TO some branch of this re-
form in harmony with the views of that So
ciety.
The cause for which we ask you to labor
is one which Is lraught with the deepest in.
terest 10 millions of our race-it meets with
favor t.om the ~vlrtuous and the good, and is
approved by the Father of the oppressed
We affectionately invite you to share the tot
and the reward of this work-we appeal I,
you In the name of MAN, robbed and outra
ged-we ask you 10 be True to the instincts
of your better nature, and 10 prove by you
actions that you appreciate the blessings o
liberty and the safeguards of virtue.

Decision of The Supreme Court.

THIS week we publish the report of the Su-
preme Court of the United States in the VAN
zandt case.
Inc EIitor Of the Era says that this decis-
ion and the one in The case of.Prigg VS.. Penn
sylvania, have done and is destined to do
more In unseiiling the popular reverence for
law, and spreading the sentiment of Disun-
ion' than the actions Of all other departments
Of the government" The editor adds, "In
England, so far back as we can trace the re-
cord, the Judiciary has been the guardian Of
popular rights" That may be altogether
truc' but if the Era wants a Judiciary which
will, In this country, prove itself TO be the
guardian Of popular rights, it must have one
that is not solemnly sworn to support the
Constitution Of the u. S.; a Constitution
which has est lblished that same court as its
exponent, and in its decisions Of what tina,
Constitution is must ~unsettle in the minds OF
those who have any regard for right, for jus.
tice and for liberty, their reverence for the
Constitution, and spread the sentiment o
Disunion. Let but the people fully realiz'
what that Constitution is, and if they are no
totally depraved, they will reject it as I'll,
most dangerous foe to Liberty and the enem.
of right and justice.
We say down with that Union which i
held together by such a Constitutions.
