cars, which are indeed first class that excellent road
will not be dsgraced with another such specimen OF
rowd ysm was Witnessed to-day in the morning train
from Nashua. number of young men, Who it seems,
had attended the baw Nashua on their return this
morning, seemed to have mistaken the car for bar
room, and blew off the surplus steam which had been
generated the night previous in a way to disgust every
individual present possessed of any sense Of proprey.
One Individual was playing the violin part OF the time
others joining in grand chorus, and others again, en-
ployng the car as dancing hail. Liquors, profanity,
blended number Of the passengers remarked While
in the car and others after leaving it, that they had
er Witnessed a more perfect specimen Of rowdySm
public conveyance. ! hope for the interest and honor Of
all parties that shall not have another such exhibition
soon. ooh, Susannah, don you cry does mol sound
well in too close connection with "e thou oh God,

should not be chosen when standing by the grave OF
friend or in the chamber of the dying.
The propriety and fitness of things should be
suited. In Haste,

There is now in existence unpublished let
ter from Gen. Washington to Jos. Whipple, col
lectcr at Portsmouth, N. H., asking his aid in the
recapture of faVorte slave of Mrs. Washington.
The general asks the collectors opinion as to
whether an attempt to send her back to Virginia
would be likely to excite popular commoton
and lead to violent resistance. The rough draft
of Mr.. Whipple's answer, in his own handw RI
ting, displays sufficient lack Of zeal in the un
dertaking. He thinks the woman could not be
peaceably Kidnapped, and concludes by hoping
that slavery will soon be abolished throughout the
country. Whether any further correspondence
took place does not appear, but the woman was
never molested, and died few years ago in New
Hampshire.

FREE Soil SENATOR. Hon. Salmon P. Chace Of

years from the fourth of March next by the Ohio Legs-
laure, on Tuesday. He is comparatively young man,
OF high character and great mental power, and will take
rank among The a5lest men in the Senate He is an
and out free soil man, and one ofthe most active
and influential members OF the Buffalo Convention. His
election as Senator, in the place of the demagogue Al
len, of the glorious fruits of that Convention
Time will bring forth more ola similar character.
Salmon p. Chase graduated at Dartmouth College in
1926, and is about az years of age. He is nephew,
the maternal side, of Judge Mclean with whom he
studied his profession, and whose friendship and entire
confidence he enjoys. On the paternal side he is
believe, nephew TO Dudley Chase, former senator
from Vermont, and TO the venerable Bishop Chase
Probably no man in Ohio ever stood so high in public
estimation at early period in ile he No other
