DIED.-At Kirkwood, Miss, on the 10th INST.
in the 7,h year Of his age EDWARD ANDERSON,
son OF Col. William Melville. His dea;h was
very sudden, being occasioned BY fell from
horse, which occurred few PAGES from his Fa-
theirs premises. Those VI no sawjh bright cour-
tenance of the little boy as he leitt the hous. and
then but a moment after beheId his lifeless body
borne back, can alone appreciate the awful sad
ness of the scene. He was a most sprightly, in
teIgrnt, amiabe, and generous child, and ani-
versaI tavorite with all who knew HIM.
More than his Fathers family feel they are be-
reaved, and in that family and its connections
void has been made which can only be filed by the.
haIowed memory oflhe sweet little boy himself
We add the following stanza as one which this
interesting child had long since committed 10
memory, and which was often lisped by his gull
less lips. The sweet flower that scents the morn"
truly embodied the image OF the innocent and the
blooming bov; but how little did his fond parents
and tender sisters, as they listened with delight
when he lisped those lines, expect to witness so
soon, and so sadly, the application Of the concu-
ding one.
"As the sweet flower that scents the morn,
But withers in the rising day;
Thus lovely was this infants dawn,
Thus swiftly fled his life away"
T.S. ANDERSON.

Fre1rIvE SLAVE Law Iy CINctSNArIr
First Caw.--Ihe Cincinnati Enquirer thus
cooly and conplaccntly records Tie way the
fugitive slave law works in that city. Each
new instance bat confirms our original state
ment, that the bill would prove failure:
On Monday last man named Almon, living
in the neishborhood of Cynthiana, Ky, calne
to our city in search ofa slave that had run
away since the fugitive slave h!l had become
law. When he came, he applied to an Off
Ger to hunt him up, promising the officer one
hundred dollars in case he succeeded. Well,
the officers, accompanied by Almon, heard that
the slave Was cook in tie Wacousta house, to
which place they proceeded and when they
arrived there they found company Of darkies
eng .ged in dancing.
The owner of the runaway poiated his pro-
perty out to the officer, through the window of
the building, and in went the representatives Of
the law t. arrest him. 1t WAS an undertaking
much easier suggested than accomp plish"d, for
for when the officers laid hands upon tic dar-
kew, his friends and associates moved both him
and the slave e-hunters outside the doors in quick
time. Finding that it was useless to make
another attempt to recover his property, with
the small force he had, Mr. Almon and the Off
GERS came back. and the darkey. no doubt,
made al immediate escape. If he is not now
on his road to Canada, he is safely ensconced
in the house of some Abolition friend who, if
we Judge rightly, has but slight scruplcs in what
he does in that line.

Yankee manufacture. They are made by Hen.

the most abundant success in his enterprise.

WAR N HAyrI.-Advices from Jeremie,
Hayti, to the 18th of October, state that hcstili
ties have actually commenced between the
Haytiens and Dominicans. On the 9th inst,
as the van guard of Solouque's army was de.
scelrding the Pass of Bonica, they were attack
ed by about 500 Dominican troops, who drove
back the Elaytiens with terrible slaughter. The
announcement of this defle skirmish caused
much uneasiness to the Emperor, who march
ed on the llth from Petit Goaye, at the head
of his staff, and 400 of his guards, to take the
field in person against the Doriuicians. In ad'
dition to tie above defeat, Haytien brig-of-
war, with $50 men on board was capturee off
Scots Bay two Dominican schooners-of.war,
or gun boats, and carried as trophy into Ma.
Gao Roadstead These hostilites have had
very disastrous effect on the trade of the island.
There was no coffee to be had, and the cutting
of logwood and mahogany was under restric-
ton.

A VISIT To THE CAp1roL.-We embraced
an opportunity yesterday, of visiting the State
House, and were forcibly impressed with the
great loss South Carolina has sustained since
last her Legislators had assembled there. The
Hall Of the Representatives and the Senate
Chamber are most tastefullv draped in deep
mourning, whilst the initials of the iamentea
dead speak to the heart of the visitor that South
Carolina has lost her brightest jewel-John {.
Calhoun. The official chambers arc also hung
in sable drapery, in memory OF him to whom
South Carolina owes much of that which has
given her name and prestige. With saddened
hearts will the Legislature of South Carolina
assemble in their halls; but the worth of the il.
lustrous man whom they mourn, his unbend-
ing patriotism. his transcendant talents, and his
unsullied purity of life and character, give to
them model of all that constitutes a states-
mau.-Ih
