The business of the day having thus
far proceeded, the Hon. J. A. Black an
nounced that he had that moment received
the subjoned series of resolutions from
the Hon. w. c. Preston, whose feeble
state of health precluded him from being
present and offering them in person
| Resoired, That the persevering and sys-
tematic assaults made by the non- slave
holding States upon the property and feel
ings Of the slaveholding States, renders it
expedient and proper that the latter
| should adopt measures TO arrest the griev-
ance and secure to themselves that peace
and safety, the enjoyment of which is the
object of all government.
Resolved, That the attacks upon our
honor and our interests, subject us at once
to insult and injury, under which no gov
eminent is worth preserving, and to avoid
which any danger should be encountered
Resolved, That firm and concerted &C.
ton is necessary for the protection Of the
Southern States, and, for the purpose Of
effecting this, it is expedient to organize

Gen. VIM. o. Hinton left for Columbus
yesterday morning, with an escort con-
>is,ing Of Mr. Way, of Wellsville, and of
ficer Mills, of Aokron, Ohio. 1t is an
ticipated that his trip will be safe one,
and that his friends who accompany him
will not desert him during his perilous
journey. He appears to have had hard
time of it since he escaped from Cleveland
on the night of the 2Sth ult. When he
left the hotel, his keepers being safely
locked up, he made for the lake, and trav-
eled along the beach until daylight. Du-
ing the day he secreted himself in barn,
and at night resumed his journey. He
travelled on foot for about four days and
nights, through the most unfrequented
parts of the country, subsisting on green
corn, and once or twice getting some 9TH
er food from the spring houses along the
way. AT length, worn down with fatigue,
he bought horse and rode into Wells |
vile before daylight on Tuesday morning.
He stopped at the hotel of Mr. Way, with
whom he was well acquainted, and sur
rendered himself, remarking that he ( Mr.
Way might as we'll get the reward as
any one. He was brought here on
steamboat on Tuesday evening, and kept
at the L. S. Hotel during the night. |
Columbus, we presume, will be his
place of trial. He expresses confidence
in his ability to establish his innocence,

THE FREAKS OF FoRruNE.-The New
York Day Book says there is man in
that city who has seen some fifty sum
mers, OF good stature and commanding
figure, who drives a Waverly omnibus,
and who has actually grown gray in the
service. He commenced this occupation |
in March, 1888, now more than seven
teen years past, and has pursued it most of
the time since. His father was a veal
thy upholsterer for many years in Maiden
Lane, and now be is rich retired old
gentlemen, highly respectable, on Long
Island. The son is man of fine capaci
ty, has more than ordinary intellect, and
is handsomely educated. His fast living
for while pretty rapidly dissolved two
moderate fortunes, which, together with
some family disagreement, had the effect
of enlargement between himself and IA
Their. All ill-leeling is now over. His
father has given him $4,000, a small
portion of what he doubtless will receive
the interest of which he draws as he
desires and appropriates as he likes. He
lives with his family in snug cottage in
22d street, in quiet christian like way,
still following his profession of stage
driving, because he likes it-because It's
his pastme because he earns his living
by it. and not from compulsion. Many Of
the ten thousand passengers who ride in
that excellent line have, doubtless, re.
marked this extraordinary man with his
piercing black eye, his long black hair
now mixed with white, his brown face,
his tall and rather slender figure, his
broad brimmed hat and the rapidity of his
movements, his stage passengers little
thinking that they were thrusting their
six-pences into the fingers that had at their
command $4,000.
