A few days since, (say, the Dela,0art
State Journal, of Tuesday, a poor bu
honest Iaborer named William Shaw
while examining an old uninhabitrd brick
building IN AppoquInimink Hundred
near Commercial Corner, thrust his hand
spike into the frame If one of the WIN
dows and gave it wrench, when a per
feet shower of golden coin, of English
stamp, came pouring down upon him, Ia
his surprise and delight. Upon further
examination he finally succeeded in COL
lecling seven hundred and eighty dollars
when his impatience and eagerness tC
herald the good news, impelled hun tc

who Fastening TO the spot. secured about
three hundred for himself, making in III
about one thousand dollars.
These two kept the secret for time,
buI Shaw said he did not feel as though
he oug ht TO keep The gold, and therefore
made it known TO one Or TWO gentlemen
in the neighborhond. The owner of the
house was infomed of the fact, where
upon the matter was left to three refer
ees 10 determine whether the finder or
owner of the building was entitled to the
treasure. In the meantime the gold is
deposited in the Smyrna Bank.
ne Journal adds, that the House was

cause during the Revolution and renderd
himself thereby odious to the n4iobors.

TO burn his house and destroy his life. He
died very suddenly, and it is supposed
that he secreted the treasure in momen,
of fear. One cannot but be struck by
and commend, the honorable scruples of
good and honest William Shaw.

B zalong this curiously indented frontier of
sneighhorng States, fitted, dove-tailed INTO

scation will soon be run with blood and
Hire Our mighty rivers, that bear the
worlds commerce, east and west from the
Atlantic coast 10 the interior; or which
sparkle down the continent from north 10
south, as if the great circles Of the globe
were chased in living silver along its sur

Whose eternal border wars have fixed up

forehead of Asia. queen of nations, cradle
of mankind, to the dust. This it was that
struck down the shortived civilization of
Greece and Rome, and overwhelmed it
with millennium not of grace but of bar
barism. And if read Alright the signs of

boats from the Missouri, yesterday even

Major Fitzpatrick, U. S. Agent for the In
dlans Of the Plains. Major Fitzpatrick
passed a portion of the winter at Fort
Laramie. We learn from him, that he left
Laramie late in February-traveled over
The Plains 10 the head of the Arkansas,
and down it to the crossings OF the river.
In doing so, he collected delegations from
several tribes of Indians, who were assem-
bled for about a month at the crossing of
the Arkansas, in the expectation of Com
missoners TO hold council with them.-
The delegations were from the Cheyennes
Arapahoes, Sioux, Apaches and Kiowas;
and IN answer to messages sent 10 them,
the Camanches said they could not meet
the whites this season, for fear Of the chol-
era, but that they would do SO hereafter,
and would engage in no more hostilities
against the Americans. Not receiving in

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

in question was presented to that Committee
who declined however, TO present il 70 tho
Convention. How far his action in the Com
mittee led to that result, he would not say. II
was subsequently, introduced into the Convcn-
ton by the mover, and adopted. He desired
while up, to say, that the Liberty Party was
composed of men of as pure character a. that
of any body of individuals over associated for
political purposes; mon who had the honesty
to avow what they meant, and the courage to
fulfil what they resolved.
In the HousE nothing of any importance.
Both Houses adjourned over till Monday.
Monday, Jan. 2s.--In the SENATE Mr.. Ma
son OF Va, spoke at some length, in favor of
the resolution in reference to the capture of fu-
gitve slaves. lie said no had no idea. even If
the bill passed, it would remedy the evil. lie
contendcd that the constitution made it the du-
~ OF the free states to recapturc and deliver flu
gitive slaves taking refuge within their borders
Mr.. Mason urged that the master should be per-
mitted to enter any house or grounds for the
purpose OF capturing his slave, without being
liable to action for trespass
In conclusion, he would express the hope that
the bill would pass. 1t was only a pcaccablc
remedy and if a measure aiiortling cfcctual
protection were not adopted, he would recon-
mend ms people, as a matter of necessity, TO
provide by law for rcprisal upon the property of
the non slaveholding states. There was no 9TH
or way by which the south could secure redress
for the great loss which the people sustained in
consequence of the intentional failure of the
north to execute its federal obligations.
MIR. Seward gave notice that he would sub
stitute bill to effect the same legal rcmcdy-hc
then read the substitute.
MIR. Foote follwcd, in some sarcastic remarks
relative to the Senator from New York
Mr.. Seward replied-IIo said that Mr.
Chase, who had been called from his scat bv
the intelligence of severe domestic bcrcavc-
mcnt, desired to address the Senate upon this
subject.
The further consideration Of the bill was post
poncd till to morrow.
In the HOUSE nothing of importance was
| done.

European Intelligence.

ESoLAND.-There il every reason to believe
that the Nicaragua question will be amicably
settled between Great Britain and the United
States.
FRANcE.-2j, 900 men of tho army employed
to restore the Pope uro to remain i'll Rome. A
letter from Paris announces that a treaty has
actually been concluded between the Emperor
of Russia and the President OF France, the par-
ticulars Of which will yet be found anything but
desirable so far as English interests arc con-
ccrncd.
TURKEY.-A correspondent Of tho London
Times, under date of Constantinople Dec. 10th,
says that a courier has arrived from st. Potcrs-
burgh with the answer of the Car to the last
communication made to him by the Porte with
regard to the Polish Hungarian refugees. Kos
suth and the Hungarian refugees are to be con-
fined i'll fortified town in the interior.
AusrRIA.-Thc typhus fever was raging fear
fully at Vionna on the 10th ult. No less than
thirty medical men had been seized with it,
from visiting their patients.
PRussIA.--It is understood that the Ministe-
rial crisis is over, and that this day the Cham.

l60 acres be granted out of said last mentioned
land to each free settler at cost Of survey as an
everlasting heritage to them and their posterity (;
and that tho Governor of the State Of Ohio be
requested to forward copy of this resolution
TO each member of the Senate and Congress
from this State, &c.
Mr.. Whitman offered this amenlmcnt
Also the passage of a law that the public
lands of the United States shall be giren to ac-
tual settlers in quantities not to exceed l60
acres to each settler, at the mere cost of sur
vcy and entry: Prorided, that all lands here
toforo pledged as security for any portion of the
public debt shall be sold under the present
laws.
Mr.. Myers offered further amendment as
follows
Hesoired, That the selling Of the public lands
to spec ulators is unjust to the tillers of the
soil, and injurious TO the prosperity of the coun
try We arc therefore opposed to the sale of any
of the public domain except to actual settlers.

For The Duglc.
The Slave Auction.

He stood upon tho auction-block,
While trembling by his side,
With furrowed check AMI streaming ewes.
Stood his young aud lovely bride.
Her hands together tight were clenched,
As !nwardly she prayed.
Ibat ere her husbands form was sold,
She might in death be laid.
But bark a sound salutcs her cor,
Her rcvery it breaks,
As in his hand the auctioneer
Ills heavy hammer takes
lie cast q vacant stare around;
A kind of fiendish grin
Was on his lips. as thus he stood,
The auction to begin.
"His eyes arc good" he thus began,
Ellis limbs are straight and true,
And then, what's better yet" said ne,
"IIo is Christian too"
Ono hundred dollars now were bid
Next two, then three, and four,
Till he at seven hundred stood,
And vainly called for more.
The hammer falls, the auctions closed,
That noble form is sold
His mind, his soul, and all he hath
Is bartcrcd off for gold.
The buyer now approached the stand
Amid the noisy din,
Tho money paid, then claimed the slave,
And badc him follow him.
He vainly asked a moments pause,
To bid his wife farewell;
But no; upon his quivcring back
The heavy cowsliin fell.
Blush, Christians! blush and hang your heads
That such thing should be
In this our glorious Christian land,
That boasts of liberty
o Christians raise your voice against
Such horrid blackcning deeds
Remember that your sisters heart
In bitter anguish blceds.

lists have principle, and the grandcs, wlIclI
