EXCITEMENT IN CINCINNATI.

There is a substantial aud solid argument as
well as recital of stirring facts, in the follow
ing text from the Cincinnati Atlas and the COM
ment from the Memphis Enquirer:
RUNAWAY NEGRo CApTuRED-GREAT Ex-
c1rEMENr.-Yesterday afternoon, Walnut St.,
was the scene of an unusual excitement Pas-
sing there about one o'clock, we saw two men
armed with pistols and bowie knives, hurrylng
a negro towards the river. Two others fol-
lowed likewise earmed-brandishing their wea-
pons and bidding defiance to the crowd. A
large mass of people, attracted by the unusual
sight followed in the rear The negro was
resisting and calling for help, but his captors
hurried him on, without interference to the nv
or. At the foot of Walnut street, the Ferry
Boat, which had been waiting loosed her fas.
Jennings as the captors approached, and, as soon
as they were on board pushed into the river.
When fairly under way, those on board gave
three cheers, and the boat and her passengers
with the negro and his captors, passed over to
the Kentucky side; all this took place in broad
daylight in one of tn e most thronged streets
of the largest city in the west
We understand the negro's name is George
Jackson. 1t is said he has resided here some
three or four years. He worked as barber
at Cousins, on Water street, between Walnut
and Main. He had also been employed at La
Belle Restaurat, on Broadway. We presume
that the civil authorities of Covington will
at least allow him the benefit of legal inves.
tigation, for it must not be assumed that every
colored man is slave, whenever any one sees
fit to call him so.
Cincinnati Chronicle g. Atlas, llh
COMMENT (by The Memphis Enquirer, a ,ohig
paper.) We have received very different ac-
count of the above affair. Mr.. ]. V. Baush
went from this city with the fixed purpose to
arrest and bring home slave, who had rama
way from Memphis, and was known to be in
Cincinnati, THAT most respectable city, where
negroes are protected and white men mobbed)
He stopped at Covington, on the Kentucky side
of the river, and procured the assistance of
Messrs. Benham, Stroud and Mcbride. On
their arrival in Cincinnati, the negro was found
to be on Sixth street He was arrested, as a
fugitive slave, but instantly mob was raised,

/ loved her when the sunny light

And not trace of care was seen,
Which shades so darkly now.

Lay smiles in beauty rare,
1t seemed that naught could ever harm
A loveliness so fair.

A change came Ger her heart,
Yet knew that earth could never more
One ray of joy impart.
The rose upon that fading cheek,

Twas marked by eartlis coroding care,
Toearly pass away.

Be Coop NEIGHBoR.-Some men are az
ways in hot water and are never on good terms
with their neighbors. What is worse than to
quarrel with next door neighbors The tooth
ache is nothing to it. You cannot bear any
thing from one of his family. fhis children
are in your yard, or on your fence, they must
be driven away with harsh words--poor inno-
cent things! who have not learned the ways of
the ,vc-li You forbid your wife, who is per-
+ osed to forgive and forget, ever to bor-
+, o.. or lend to the adversary--nott to speak
to lis children, or have anything whatsoever to
do with the family. Does not a man feel bad
ly who has such disposition and quarrels with
his neighborse
We pray you to be good neighbor. Over
look the faults and foibles fyour friend. lfhe
is morose and sour in his disposition, there is
more necessity for you to be forbearing, mild
and persuasive, you have but short time to
live; Oh, spend your days in peace.
