SLAVE EscRED.-A correspondent of the
Boston Bee, states that a valuable negro, who
had been at work as blacksmith on the dry
dock at Pensacola, arrived at Portsmouth, N. H.,
on the 29th inst, in a vessel from that place
Letters had been sent to Portsmouth to detain
the black, in order that he might be returned
and the pilots and others We're on the look out
for him, But some persons got wind of the
natter, and on the arrival of the vessel, went
down to her, in the lower harbor, to obtain pos
session of the negro, but were resisted by the
captain, and were forced to leave. They then
procured a warrant for assault and battery, went
down the second time with an officer, arrested
the captain, and summoned the negro as a wit
ness. As soon as they reached the city, the
captain was suffered to go at large, and the
slave was taken care Of by his friends, The az
fair created considerable excitement 19a "A

l The immense value of the timber stolen

Important from Texas.

We have later news from Texas Ii is stated that
public meetings in relation to the state of affairs in
Santa Fe have been held in number of the west
ern counties. The determination not to yield to
the Federal Government without struggle, or a
consideration, is universal but opinions are divid-
ed in regard to a sale to the United States.
Many persons express themselves as in favor Of
the measures, and many as bitterly opposed to it
in any shape. The politicians are generally OPP
posed, but the great majority Of the people are
yet unexcited, and quietly awaiting the action of
Congress and the meeting Of the legislature
The Governor belly has written letter to the
senator's and representatives of the State in Con-
gress on this Santa Fe business. The whole of
this letter is adverse to the claims set up by the
administration at Santa Fe, and it expresses a
firm, calm, resolution to resist these claims. We
have room for only apart of the conclusion Of this
Important document. 1t is as folows:i
p "To curtal Texas of her limits is to deprive
her Of portion of her wealth, to say nothing of
high political considerations, which cannot in
these turbulent times be too much guarded. Texas
to its whole extent is her rightful boundary. She
carried her flag to the lower and middle Rio
Grande, and actually established there; and, left
untrammelled, and even unaded, was perfectly
prepared, and would soon have conquered her
boundary to its whole extent. Texas signs for
and really requires tranquility; but II she loves
peace she hates dishonDr. With the inhabitants
Of Santa Fe consider the issue clearly and dis
tnctly made, and if in like manner with the fede-
raj government, it is greatly to be regretted, but
it will not change Our course. Texas knows her
rights, and will maintain them with all the means
which God and nature has given her.
The constitution and laws of the State indicate
to me my duty too plainly to be misunderstood.

Savannah for $3.50.

The friends of the Clay Compromise in
Savannah, Georgia, have failed most sgnally in
their attempt to drum up recruits. The Repub-
Acan Of the 3Oth, print friendly to the Com
promise, gives the following brief notice of the
last meeting ,l.....g a..s...ar.
The public meeting last night was organized
by calling w. L. Williams to the Chair, and by
appointing T. H. Harding, Esq, Secretary
committee of three (Hon. w. B. Fleming
Chairman,) was then appointed, which reported
resolutions favorable to the Compromise now
before Congress Whereupon, Dr. J. P. Screven
offered as substitute other resolutions uphold
ing the sentiments Of the Nashville Convention.
After considerable discussion, the house divided,
and the resolutions proposed by Doctor Screyen
were carried by large majority. s,II n.
We refrain from adding more at present, us
the proceedings will appear in full tomorrow.
The Georgian gives short sketch, and adds
We consider the enthusiastic voice of this
meeting as conclusive Of the feelings of our
citizens in favor Of the Missouri line of $3.50,
and the Nashville Convention. The meeting
was called irrespective of parties" nevertheless
was got up by the slime honored" Wings, a
g0Odly number Of whom were present to back
up the Clay platform, yet all we have to say is,
it was no go. We shall publish the whole pro-
ceedings tomorrow. .a5 I,

ferred to the first meeting party affair only.
We hope it is satisfied no,c as to the senti-
ment of the mass of the people of Savannah.
