by w. w. Brown, Of the circumstances ur-

appeared that neither of them could read or
wrlle-yet the man evinced a degree OF
shreWedness, intelligence, and talent, CON-
biued with promplness and ready wit, which
show him TO he no ordinary man. In tho
course Of the questioning, inquiry was made
OF him, respecting various persons, who went
from this vicinity, and who now reside or
have resided in the place whence they es-
capped. These inquiries came from all quar-
tiers Of the audience, and were promptly an
swered. In most Of the cases, he knew the
persons inquired after, and. in several insian-
ces, spoke Of their business, named the firm
with which they were connected, or told the
location of their business, or residence-con-

Fugitive Slaves.

A meeting was held at Waldo Hall on
Friday evening, at which William Craft and
his wife Ellen, fugitive slaves from Georgia
were present. They escaped from their mas
tiers four weeks since, and arrived in this CITY
from the south, an hour or so before the meet.
ing. William w. Brown, another fugitive
slave, well known in this vicinity, met them
here, and represented their case TO the peo-
pie. As has already been stated a day or
two since, the mode of escape was, by the
dressing Of Ellen in male attire, and PASSING
her as a young gentleman travelling to the
north, with William as her servant. From
this it will be inferred, as is the fact, that
she is so white as to induce no one to sus.
pect her colored origin. They belonged to
different masters. William is a cabinet max.
er, and had been allowed by his owners TO
hire himself out where he pleased, by re.

EXTENT OF II GoLD FEvER.-Within the
last FIVE weeks, 3,O95 persons have actually
sailed for California, from Northern ports /;
2,2s3 via Cape Horn; 2 via the San Juan
2l5 via Vera Cruz; and sos via Chagres.-
Thousands more are on the eve Of departure,
and we may safely predict that six months
more will swell The number Of gold hunters
to so 1000.
Emigrants to California suffer very much
on the route from Chagres TO Panama, and
at both Of those places. before they get TO the
gold region. A correspondent Of the New
York Herald, in writing from Panama on The
.Tlh inst, says -
No urgency short of life and death should
bring a man on this route; for a female it Is
utterly ont Of the question. " 4
One word to our friends in the L nired States,
who are feverish TO 90 TO California.
lst. Stay at home.
ID. IL you 90 there, take any rout but
this.
Sd. If you insis, on crossing the Isthmus,
bring but one trunk, weighing not more than
1875 lbs. you should also bring tea and sugar,
hard bread, and ham enough to last you from
Chagres to Panama; brandy, 10 be used il

Whittier gave early indications of 20

the productions, and resolved TO make
their author visit, TO Offer their assist

literary notoriety Accordingly they
took carriage that soon set them down
in the picturesque town OF Ware, IN H.
the residence ofthe young poet. With
somr difficulty they found the residence

best room OF the house by the mother, to
whom they made known their desire to
see her SON.
