Fugitive Slave Case.
Harrisburg, August

Harrisburg, August "A.
Our town has been the scene of great ex-
citement yesterday and to-day, on account
of the arrest and examination ofthree black
fugitive from Virginia. B.. a...t.
Yesterday the Court was engaged all day
in examination of the negroes on writ OF
Habeas Corpus. ' ..~
They were charged with horse stealing,
but were, in reality, fugitive slaves.
No decision was made esterday, but this
morning Judge Pearson decided that the
stealing of horse by slave for the pur.
pose OF escaping was not criminal offence
under the law, for reelaiming fugitive
slaves, and consequently he discharged
them. The slaves were at once ushereo
out of the prison doors, but had no sooner
reached the street when they were seizeo
by their masters. and battle ensued be
tween them. After severe struggle two
of the slaves were finally hand-cufied, bu
one of them made his escape.
The Court has Just issued warrant a
gainst the owners and all engaged IN tht
affair, for assault and battery, with lnten
to excite riot. The slaves and their own
ers are now in Jail -.
The Court has also ordered the Sheriff II
employ posse for the purpose Of dispensing
at all hazards, the mob now assembled II
front of the prison.

Old Bullion and the Omnibus.

The following anecdote, going the rounds
is characteristic of the indomitble Senator
from Missouri:
Said an old Jackson Democrat to Col
Benton, after the smash of the Omnibus
"Well, Col the old thing was pretty vel
cut up!"
"Worse than DR.. Parkman! Worse
than Dr.. Parkman, sir! They can't iden.
dfy the body, sir'" calculated the Colonel
SWELL how does Clay feel?'
"Clay feel! He feels, sir, as he did wher
we upset the great coalition omnibus be-
tween him and John Quincy Adams, under
the lead of Cen Jackson. He feels as he
did when we upset his bank omnibus.
his tariff omnibus. his distribution
omnibus, and his Presidential omni
bus! Sir, he knows how to feel! The
democrats have taught him TO feel! How
do you suppose be felt when we expunged
when we, sir, drew the black marks ol
popular damnation over his resolutions cen.
suring Gen. Jackson! Clay has always
been getting up omnibusses. Always, sir
And he never got up one yet that he did
not catch some democrats, sir! Never, sir
And they always get killed, sir That's
the case with all his omnibusses! They
always kill the passengers and save the
driver. No democrat should ever get into
an omnibus when Clay is driver, and espe-
cialy if Webster is an outside passenger
Look out for break down, them An

The people in the states are certainly de-
ranged with regard to California. They
must believe the stories published in the
newspapers with regard to this country
In reference to these publications have to
say that l never saw anything like correct
representation of California in any news
paper, book or report. As to Kings report,
it does not contain one solitary redeeming
truth. The truth is, no one writes about
California except lot and land Spectators.

word they say in reference to this country
is false. J. am induced to make these re-
marks because thousands are focking here
from Ohio, to find an untimely grave, or to
return home with broken constitutions aud
impaired fortunes. f.# F.. re.-.e
Since my last, this city has been almost
entirely destroyed by fire. This is the third
great fire we have had since the ,t25th of
| December last = all the best part of1the city
is in ruins; the loss by the last fire is esti-
mated at FIVE millions. 1t has had q most
unfavorable influence ION the city. The
confidence of every one in real estate, or
business houses is broken, and the prices of
city property is greatly depressed, still
the great influx of emigrants give the place
the appearance of great activity. Law bu-
sincss is still good, but fees are not so easi-
ly collected as they were before the de-
struction of the city. -".5 -ff..1.

Song for the People.

Stand your ground, by efforts holy,
Bravely battle against wrong,
For the meek and for the lowly,
'Gainst the wealthy and the strong;
Though your dearest friends upbraid yot
81 Though as foes they gather round,
Be secure, for God will aid you
Fearless spirits, stand your ground!
Hold your own, and never falter,
God remembers we'll the VOW
That you swore on Freedoms altar,
Never more meath chains to bow;
When you pledged your faith to sever
Ev'ry fetter o'er you thrown:
Ifyou're changelings, cursed be ever,
If you'e true men, hold your own.
Dare the worst, howe'er assaulted,
With unbending iron will;
Truth, on pinions strong exalted,
Heavenward will soar up still
Though tempest gathers DER you,
On your path full soon to burst,
Heav'n will cast q shield before you
Onward, scatheless dare the worst.
Fight your fight, and purchase glory,
With unfinching heart and hand,
Stirring youth and old age hoary
With the SPELL l-word-Fatherland; {.
Preach the word of Self-R Glance
Preach banded peoples might,
Give to despots your defiance
Onward, forward, fight the fight.
