REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF SLAvE.--Ws
understand n vessel has arrived here from
Washington, N. G. bringing a yellow girl
belonging to George w. Davis, of that city.
She was secreted on board by the mate. A
bed was thrown into the poor for her TO lie
upon, and concealed by piling wood around
il. The authorities at Wilmington, almost
knowing her to be on board, made repeated
searches, and smoked the vessel several
times, after loudly announcing that they
would smother her if she did not show her
self Upon coming out of tho river the ves-
sci was boarded by the posse for the last
time, and had the girl been found the cap.

withstanding he knew nothing of the runa-
way. During the voyage the girl was fed in tho
watches, without the knowledge ofthe mas
ter. Atthe wharfhere the vessel was entfust-
ed to the care of the second mate; but in
the evening the first mate went aboard, and
persuaded the second mate TO go on shore
upon an errand. He returned, however, 90

where she was discovered by the steward

versing in the cabin, that there was woman

C. There are two Wing or Taylor or
gans at Washington, viz: the Republic and
lntelligencer. The former AYERS that the
passage of the Wimot Proviso would be
"perilious to the tranquility of the country"
and the other regards even the agitation of
the Slavery question, in view of the vast ter
ritories, as an "ulcer." These organs, and
President who owns two plantations, and
800 negroes-one who has chosen for his le-
gal adviser, man who believes that the
Wilmot Proviso is nconstitutional-are the
stock in trade of the true liberty, alias the
Wing party of the country. There is one
man whom we occasionally meet, who yet
holds out, and still persists in believing in
the anti-slavery character of this true liberty
party, but he is so green that he has spoiled
the "green spectacles" business of all the
neighboring opticians. lie will answer du'

The CHERoREEs.-The Cherokee Adpocdte, re-
ferrng TO paragraph, stating that the Chcrokees
intend to apply for admission into the Union. in
a few years, and, with that view, are exceedingly
anxious to compete with the whites in all kinds Of
improvements, Gays
'To emulate the people that boast ofthe greatest
civil politcalaid religious institutions in the world,
is certainly commendable. But TO say that the
Cherokees are making such exertions for the pur-
pose Of becoming part of the Union, is saying
more than we arc prepared 10 admit. SO far as we
know the feeling of the Cherokee people, 1t is right
to the reverse q the statement. Although there
might be some individuals among US in favor Of
such project yet, the majority Of the Chcro-
kec people, suoh thing cannot be justly alleged
against them. And if it were true that we did
wish to Join the Union, do not say that we would
be culpable. But il is our wish to remain distinct
and separate community"

The HEMP CRoP IN MrssoURI.-A correspondent
Of the St. Louis Republican, writing from Carroll
county, on the I'd instant, gives the following ac
count Of the prospect Of the hemp crop in the State
of Missouri;
''As there is much said by commission merchants
and the manufacturers of bagging and rope, rela.
tive 10 tho present crop of hemp, and reside in
the hemp region Of this State, and have know
ledge Of what is said by hemp growers relative TO
the present CROP feel confident in saying that the
Weld will not be so large anticipated
at the hemp-cuttng season last August The rea-
son is obvious; we had unusual quantity OF rain
last summer and fall, during the warmer weather,
and consequently hemp became very much injured
before il spread out in the fall and this state OF
things caused many farmers 10 spread their hemp
very early-the consequence is that the lntsof all
such hemp is light, nnd will not yield much over a
half crop.
"a hemp grower from an adjoining county
Iafayette) writes 10 friend, and says My
crop OF rs acres at cutting time was good for rs
tons, but now would be glad to sell at ~ tons,
owing 10 the heavy tall of rain during the rotting
season and ths, he says generally the case In
this county On the night OF the fret of Februa
ry, had heavy fall Of snow, covering large por-
ton of the late spread hemp, much Of which was
nearly quito rotted enough TO take up and,
should this snow remain on the ground any length
/ Of time, the hemp will be injured; and under NO
circumstances can we look for n full crop or fair
| yield

know when that article is up, that hemp takes the
! place OF II in very many manufactured articles,
/ can acc no reason for decline in the price Of
hemp; and believe that last years prices will be
fully maintained before the close OF the season.
know the manufacturers OF hemp shrewd spe-
culntors, and they use every device in their power
To put the price down at the opening Of the market
where the grower s compelled 10 put his crop into
an early market Owing to low duty on foreign
hemp, see that our eastern markets have been
partly supplied with the foreign article during last
Year, and particularly with the article Of foreign
hemp yarn. But, from recommendations from
high places, il is 10 be hoped, that Congress will
have an eye to the subject, and levy such duty as
the country requires, for see that none Of my De-
mocratic friends object to the word protection when
IL relates to hemp.
81 have had some experience in the South in the
cultivation of cotton, and ! know that the cotton
planter can raise one hundred pounds Of cotton
with less labor than the hemp grower raise the
game amount Of hemp and prepare II for market
and geo the price of cotton now more than dou-
bic the price Of hemp, and yet the article manu-
featured from hemp IL much more durable and Of
greater value. Hence the indictment for the con,
sumption Of hemp"
