The FUGTTIvE SLAVE BILL.-The bill intro
duced into the Senate of the United States, by Mr.
Mason, of Virginia. on the 4th inst, to secure to
the Southern States the benefits of the constitu-
tlonal provso for the recovery OF runaway slaves,
provides that in the of any person alleged to be
fugitive from involuntary service, the owner, or
the agent or attorney of the owner, may go before
any U. 5. District or Circuit Judge, Collector or
RnSiEnsstsE and depose to the fact s6 sg ma
be brought before the same functonary upon a m
davt, and thereupon it shall be the duty of sucb
officer to grant certificate as to the character Of
such alleged fugitive and upon that, if it is in favor
OF the claimant, the person shall be rendered I'M to
the custody of the said claimant Another section
provides that penalty of $1,000 shall be levied I'M.
on any person who shall aid or harbor the fugitive
claimed as above described, or shall resist the
owner or agent in his attempts to reclaim him.
on Mr.. Mason's motion, the bill was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary, and Mr. M. sio-
nihcantly remarked that he hoped a report upon il
would not long be delayed, for many of the South
ern States were deeply interested in the decision
OF the question involved in the bill-none more so
than the commonwealth of Virginia.

IHE MAILs.-The Washington Republic is not
pleased with the freedom of the newspaper press,
In complaining of mail failures, and suggesting
mail improvements. In the following tart style it
reads lecture to the editors of all parties upon the
wickedness of mentioning mails, except by "Ietter
or petition " to the Department itself-any other
course leads to dissatisfaction "-and is proof of
personal or political malice This is new STYLE
OF treating of the duties of the press and the pry
leges OF the Department. Certainly it did not find
much favor when Cave johnson was Postmaster
General, and is not likely to be received with favor
now.
"1he lHatts.-When any one of the seventeen
thousand Postmasters in the Union makes a mis-
take, or any one of the many thousand daily mails
fails OF arrival, even when any negligent cores
pendent fails towrite it furnishes occasion TO some
spieneic ocofoco editor for attack on the Post
office Department I; and it seems now that even
wing papers are muchSinclined to occupy space
with. suggestions, defects and proposals for i'm
provements an mail routes and service Now il
must be obvious that such course is not intended
for good, or likely to produce it. When action by
the Department is sincerely desired, it should be
addressed by letter petition thereto sent or pre-
scented. 10 insert paragraphs in newspapers on
such subjects, can produce no effect but dssatsfac
ton and readers should understand that such is
their object-not good. They are invariably the
expression Of those who have been denied BY the
Department some request unreasonable in its esti-
nation, or who are the uniform enemies of the Ad-
ministration. There are so many thousand news
papers published weekly in this country that very
lew OF them attract the attention OF the Depart-
ment; nor can any communication produce any
good effect unless 1t is transmitted in some direct
channel to the party for whom il is intended

Washington have been prophesying the rejection of
Gov. Lelcher rs Minister to Mexico, on the ground
of his premature departure on his mission, before
his nomination had been acted on by the Senate.
The fact, however, happens to be otherwise.
The failure ofthe arrival of the British mail steamer
at Mobile, has detained Mr.. Lstcher in the coun-
try. We cannot guess that this accidental deten-
ton will be accepted by the Senate as moifer of
their resentment whether they will insist that
the intention to go is sufficient proof that he in
tended disrespect At all events, he is saved from
the act, and we suppose will take the warnings Of
the Senate debate Of service of ne Great or
as the New York codiiers translate law Latin, a
notice Of T" no go.''

AMERIcAE THEArRE.-A great triumph was
achieved last evening at the American Thesfre. n
the first appearance Of the celebrated actress,
Miss Davenport, Of whose performances in other
cities we have lately heard so much and SO favora-
bly,. Tbs house was full, even crowded, with one
Of the mosf fashionable and discriminating audi
ences Of the season. The cast of characters was
unusually good. MI. Jamison playing Sir Thomas
Clifford and Mr. Charles Webb appearing as Mas.
ter Waller. Mr. Jamison played with his usual
good taste and Judgment. Mr.. Webb's Master
Waller of the most chas,e and finished per.
formanees of that difficult character we have ever
witnessed, and well merited the commentator
which ii received from all quarters.
Miss Davenport was the bright particular star
OF the evening, TO whom all eyes were directed
She has fine voice, a clear enumeration, an OK
presaive face and noble figure, which abe dresses
splenddy. The character has been delineated SO
often by the most celebrated actresses upon the
stage, within the few last years, that any great i'm
pFovement in its conception could hardly be posi-
Bile. Sill, there was no copyist in the exquisite
performance of last evening. One great merit oil
Miss Dayenport's acting is her measured and plain
enunciaticn, enabling every one in the house 10
catch each word that fell from her lips The most
vOcifeFous applause Of the audience was the best
comment Of the estimation in which the acting was
appreciated BY all those present Miss Davenport
will appear again this evening.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF SLAvE-We under
stand vessel has arrived here from Washington. N
G., bringing yellow girl belonging to George w.
Davis, ofthat city. She was secTeted on board -by
the mate. A bed was thrown into the poop for her
TO lie upon, and concealed by piliRg wood around it,
The authorities at Wilmington, almost knowing her
to be on board, made repeated searches, aud smoked
the vessel several times, after loudly announcing
that they would smother her If she did not show
herself, Upon coming out of the river the vessel
was boarded by the posse for the last time and had
the girl been found The captain would have been
in great sri, Notwithstanding he knew nothing of
the runaway. During the voyage the girl was fed
in the watches, without the knowledge of the mas
ter AT the wharf here the vessel was entrusted to
the care of the second maie but in the evening the
first mate went aboard and persuaded the second
mate to go on shore upon an GRAND. He returned
however so quickly, that the mate had not time to
get of with his prize, but hid her in another place
where she was discovered by the steward. He
told the two mates, who were then conversing in
The cabin, that there was woman on board but

HOMICIDE mr.. Dufie, German, and a mer-
chant Of this city, killed the evening of the
10th inst. by w B. Martin, of Girard, Alabama
The circumstances, we understand, were as follows
There was ancient feud between the parties
arising out Of family difficulties. The deceased
and Martin were not observed together until few
minutes previous to the homicide, when they ap-
peared in angry alteration. Martin was heard to
exclam twice, before firing, Do MT strike me -
The weapon used was pistol, the ball from which
passed directly through the heart of Duffie, killing
him instantly. An examination of the prisoner
was held on the following morning, when he was
bound over in the sum of $4,000 for his appear
charge of murder Columbus [Ga.l Times.

SINGULAR OUTRAsR.-On the night of the 18th
ult., the Band-office at Henderson, Texas, was
broken open and large portion of the records,
files, certificates and evidences of title, in many
instances, we regret to state the only evidences,
were cut out and deliberately burned and otherwise
destroyed Upon the discovery being made, the
office with its contents was locked, and the Chief
Justice of the county sent for, who, upon his arri-
val, appointed committee of three citizens TO re-
port upon the damage. As this was labor that
required time, the result was not made known until
the 25t h. On that day many the citizens of the
county assembled in public meeting and appoint
ed committee of twelve citizens to hear evidence
and report the names of such witnesses as might
be deemed important. AS the whole affair is to
undergo legal investigation, the grounds of suspi-
cions against individuals are not published.
