-FOUR CITIZENS or BALTIMORE COUNTY SHOT! ONE
DEAD AND OTHERS AosrALLr WOUNDED.
~ BALTIMoRK, Sept IL.
The passengers In the from York, Penn
syyanis, state that two ostimabie citizens were
killed near Lancaster. II appears that Edward
Gorsuch and his son, Dickinson Gorsuch, resi-
dents of Baltimore county, accompanied by
Nicholas Hutchinson. Joshua Nelson, Dr. Thos
Pierce. Joshua Gorsuch, and others, went to
place called Christiana, in Lancaster county,
Pa, to recover some runaway slaves belonging
to Edward Gorsuch, who ran off q year ago.
Upon attempting to enter the house, the negroes
rushed upon them, armed with muskets and
prevented the party from entering.
Soon a large crowd Of whites and negroes
surrounded the house. The mars hal commanded
the company to assist him. but they refused.
Gorsuch and friends retired being overcome
and when retiring were fired upon by the me-
groes, from the windows of the houses, and
were also attacked by the crowd from the out
side. Edward Gorsuch was shot in the arm and
shoulder and has since died.
He was beaten with clubs after he was shot
Another Mr. Gorsuch was also MORALLY shot
DR.. Thomas Pierce was shot ard badly beaten,
and it is feared will die. The Messrs Hutchns
escaped to Philadelphia. Two or three of the
negroes were aiso shot. Such was the violence
of the attack that none Of the survivors could
remain with the wounded, but escaped as they
best could.
The crowd of blacks and whites numbered
about two hundred None interfered to save
the lives Of the citizens.
Those gentlemen from Baltimore County are
among the most respectable citizens.
The excitement was most intense.
1t appears from the above account, that the
marshal was with the claimants and hence they
were acting according to law So much for the
Fugitive slave law. The attempt to execute It
has been made in about dozen cases, and has
cost the lives Of several citizens, and ten times
the money tho reclaimed slaves were worth
If our design had been to destroy the Union,
and to aggravate agitation, we would have ad-
vised our friends to proceed under this law for
the reclamation of all fugitives. If that had
been done, we might now be in civil war; But
from knowledge of Northern sentiment, We
were from the first convinced TINT no such law
could be generally executed, and that the at
tempt would cause more excitement, violence,
and luminosity between the two sections, than
anything else. We have, therefore, uniformly
pronounced the law impracticable, End discour-
aged all efforts to invoke its agency,
But, what now say the Southern submission
lists! On the faithful execution of the Fugitive
slave law, depends the preservation of the
Union" Well, the two last cases have occurred
in New York and Pennsylvania. In the former,
fugitive was liberated after the commissioner
had given the claimant certificate of owner
ship-liberated by a habeas corpus, on the
ground that the slave had escaped prior to the
passage of the law And now Southern citizens
have been shot down, in the company of an Off
Ger, for asserting their legal rights So much
for the compromise

The FRENCH THEATRE IN PoLAND.--A cor
respondent Of the Courier des Flats Unis, fur
nishes the following incident connected with the
celebrated tragic actress, Mademoisele Rachel
"She wished to visit Poland this year, a coun-
try new to her. Her brother, M. Raphael Felix,
who accompanies her on her dramatic rounds
proceeded to Warsaw to make the necessary ar
engagements At Warsaw, as at st. Petersburg,
an individual is employed az head of the police
and director of the theatres.
M. Raphael called upon this functionary. and
requested the use of the Grand Theatre for
French tragedy. Hi, reply was-'It will be
impossible for me to grant it to you gratutously
as ia elsewhere the custom--we are deeply in.
voved---the theatre has experienced severe
losses, that must be repaired, and shall be ne.
cessitated to demand suitable indemnity for
letting the hail.
How muchp asked M. Raphael.
-Four thousand francs for each representation.
NJ Raphael thought that his ezra must havs
deceived him, but the director repeated ths
amount, and walked away. leaving the brother
of the actress trans6xed with astonishment-
But the worthy inhabitants Of Warsaw, eager
for the proposed dramatic entertainments, en-.
couraged NJ. Raphael by engaging, since it was
only question Of money, to furnish the sum re-
quiste. A subscription was accordingly rnised
and 100000 francs obtained, sufficient amount
for twenty five representations.
M. Raphael returned to the director, and in
formed him that he accepted his offer, and would
pay him 1000 francs nm evening.
IL was now the directors turn to be aston
ished, but he replied with the greatest sang fro'd,
: | see, my dear sir, that you have not compre-
hended my motive. In demanding so large a
sum, wished to compel you to renounce your
project but since you persist in il, will tell you
plainly that refuse you permission, and that
French tragedies shall not be performed in War

Later from Cuba.

BY the arrival of the brig Somers, Captain
Watson, from Havana, we have information
from that city to the I'd inst. Gen. Lopez was
executed at the Punta, one of the fortified posi-
tons near Havana, on the morning of the LIST
inst Capt. Watson knew Lopez previous to
his death, and having seen his body short
time after he was executed, leaves no doubt
that Lopez died by the garote. AT the time Of
his execution he was surrounded by the Ameri-
can prisoners in Havana, some eight in number
There was strong military guard on the spot
and an imme nse concourse of people to witness
the execution. All of the reports agree in stat
ing that he died like soldier, and he mentiones
just before his death that all his proceedingd
were intended to elevate the people of Cuba
and give them free government
Capt. WATSON did not learn that the authori-
ties had come to any determination in regard to
the prisoners yet in their possession. Among
the number, was young man BY the name of
CHAIRMAN, who says he belongs to this city
There are SO many reports in Havana respecting
the capture of LOPEZ, that it is difficult to learn
the truth. The opinion generally entertained
is. that he was taken by some countrymen while
asleep in the woods, he having been completely
broken down by fatigue and hunger. The am
munition of the patriots got destroyed in the
late heavy gale on the island, and they were af-
forwards at the mercy of their enemies. The
entire expedition, except few stragglers, have
been killed or captured.
The patriots fought desperately, and it is be-
lieved killed and wounded not less than from two
to three thousand men. The hospitals in Ha-
vana have large number of wounded in them

The IcARIAs COMMUNISTS AT NAUvoo.-This
colony, formed in Paris, under NJ. CADET, in 1871,
originally numbered one thousand persons Each
male adult member paid 600 francs, and boys
300 francs, and from 10000 to 10000 francs, in
donations were, besides, put into NJ CADETS
hands. The colony has dwindled down at Nau-
VOC to two hundred persons principally orphans,
Widows and fged persons, who invested every
thing they had in the enterprise, and are now
unable to support themselves, the society being
considerably in debt. II is estin ated that M
CADET r. ceived at lcast 300 900 for the bene-
mt OF the society, and probably twice that sum-
vi this amount, $4,000 were expended in Texas,
and $3 600 in Nauvoo, to purchase the properly

spent in travelling, it il supposed that the re-
