Yet determined to secure plaintiff, and
against all exposiulations, they forced him
down another flight Of stairs TO Main Street,
and thence up some other stairs 10 a back Of
fee. As soon as the plaintiff was thrust IN

soon made open again by the crowd that iol-

subjugation Of the plaintiff the crowd became
SO much excited that proposals Of rcconcllia-

klDYAPPiYG.-The ST. Louis Union Of the
18th, gives the following particulars Of II
someN hat singular case which occurred in
tina, city lately. A mulatio girl, formerly tho
slave ui a Mrs. Mitchell, who came 10 ST.
Louis several years since from Virginia, and
who received the girl from her father, as sta
ted in tl'e first article. Upon the removal of
Mrs. Miichtll's family to Illinois, the girl
was assigned to John II. Gay, Esq, Of st.
Louis, in payment Of a debt Of five hundred
dollars. The giFl remained in Mr.. Gays
family on wages until she had worked out
the debt, when he told her she could 90
whepe she pleased. She then went to her
former mistress in Illinois, lived with her
f there three or four years, and subsequently
with the same family in Wisconsin for seve-
raj years more-supposlng herself free, hay-
ing paid for herself, although never having
procured any legal papers to that effect
From Wisconsin she was "run oil" by Mr..
Mitchell to Galena-placed on a boat and
brought 10 ST. Louis. She was there placed
Oh a boat with the Intention OF removing her
to Virginia, but was discovered by some of
Mr.. Gays family, and rescued. Mr.. NJ. is
a Methodist preacher, and is indicated to APP

above charges, and also 10 a similar one on a
Previous occasion.
The girl has kept within doors quite Close
ly for some time past, knowing that she was
watched. On this occasion the family with
the exception Of one or two small children,
were from home, and the outside door bolted.
This was, however, no impeachment, for the
door was forced open, the girl seized with
her infant, thrust into the carriage, and con-
yeyed to the steamboat Algoma. An officer
was Immediately sent for by Mr.. McSherTy,
and search made; the citizens in that part oil
the city where the circumstances occurred,
becoming very much excited. Sh9 was at
length traced 10 tue steamboat where she was
= found secured in a state room, aud guarded
by the person who took her from the house.
I Lawyer Blannerhasset was some time since
employed to procure her papers Of freedom,
p but could find no person on whom 10 serve a
r writ as defendant. Mr.. McSherry has now
1 taken the proper measures to have her legal
+ ly made flee, and the matter is now in the
q hands of L. Polk, Esq. The girl will re-
r main in jill until the March term ofthe Court,
when she will undoubtedly get her free pa
perS, and be placed in such a situation that
future attempts to modest oil. remove her will
|, be considered a criminal ollence.-NorM a.
