entrance to which a sign in large letters in

it looks suspicious. [Roslyn, L /, planter.

Detroit, October 8.
Great excitement in this city On Monday
the U. s. Marshal arrested negro, who has
been in the city some time as fugitiue from
Tennessee.
The colored population evinced much ex-
element and AIMED themselves, threatening to
rescue the fugitive The military company,
known as the Grayson light guards, proceeded
to the Jail and prevented any attempt at res
cue To-day the MAN claimed as slave,
was conveyed to the u S. court house, guard
ed by the Grayson light guards, the Attn in
fantry, the Scott guards and the City guards
The trial has been continued until Wednes-
day.
A REGULAR STAMPEDE.-The passage of
the Fugitive Slave bill by Congress, caused
great commotion among our colored popula-
ton. On Saturday ii large number of them
left the city for Canada, we believe. Some
of our first hotels are left very bare of servants
by this sudden movement We had no idea
that Pittsburgh was the home of so many
fugitiyes, and feel sorry that law has been
passed by Congress that either drives them
out ofthe Union entirely, or back to perpetual
slavery. PIdsburg Chronicle Esd.
There is great and manifest feeling of op-
position to this law, now exhibiting itself thro'-
out the whole of the Northern states. In ma
ny of the principle cities, towns and villages,
meetings have been called condemning in the
most unqualified manner its unjustness No
man of color is safe He is liable at any mo-
mentto be seized by the heartless slave-catch-
er and sent to the south, there to serve out his
life in bondage.
We learn that Oh Wednesday last two men,
one dressed in woman's clothing came to our
place and visited several of the colored fami-
lies, and made inquiries as to their former
residences, freedom, age, number of colored
persons in the place. &c, g., preparatory prob
ably, to an attempt to "run off" such as they
can. Our colored population had better be on
the alert But we can inform all persons who
have any idea of making the attempt, that
our citizens will have little to say on this
subject "a word to the wise," DC.

the latter part of the extract is highly amusing
The writer to think it will be glorious times
when every body will have to live in hotels. Such
life may be very good for the French it will hardly
satisfy us plain Americans
"There is no news of any great importance this
week, except, perhaps, the discovery OF a new ma
chine for weaving velvet of large widths Velvet
is one of the richest and most beautiful tssues-the
delight of woman's fancy, and therefore not indit-
| ierent to human happiness. A revolution in the
| world OF Velvet-weaylng is more pacific and not
less progressive contest than revolution in the
world of politics. 1t may, perhaps disturb the in
| terests of few manufacturers but nobody cares
for such class. They have soldiers at COM
mand and loaR-contracLors pursue their avoca-
tons just well with machines as with the
old ones, SO long money will secure to them the
profits of mechanical inventions. Hitherto velvet
could only be produced in very narrow widths; the
new invention Of the Lyons manufacturer enables
him to weave'both plain and ornamented velvets oil
any quality from six TO twenty-lour feet in width
and | suppose of any length. This may possibly
be no particular advantage for the cut of ladies
dresses: but when mans abode is elevated from
the isolated and confined proportions OF a few small
rooms to collected and associative dwelling in
which public concert-rooms and drawing rooms are
added to the private family apartments the beauty
and the comfort, and the humanising influence o
expensive rich velvet tapestry will be important

all ages who inhabit the new palaces of democratic
