Profit and Loss,

Here is an account of the flight of more slaves
in one week, from two counties in Kentucky,
than have been recovered under the Fugitive
slave law in all the Northern States in eight
months.
Moro STAmrEDE.--The Maysville Post Boy
of the I'd inst, says
During the past week, leave-taking fever
has prevailed among the slaves in this section.
On Sunday night, a woman and three children
the property of 4. NJ. Weldon of our city, left.
On Wednesday night, nineteen in one gang left
their owners in Lewis,-eight belonging to Mrs.
Eliza Sheppard, two TO Chas. Wood, and the
remainder, owners names not asccrtained.--
From Nicholas several have also departed from
freedom during the past few days

News from the lSthmus-The Robbers and
their COnfederafeS,

A correspondent of the Herald, writing from
Chagres, on the Goth ult., says:
"Chagres has been quite disturbed of late. II
is pretty well known, and has been for some
time past, that an organized band of robbers ex
listed on the Isthmus. Robberies have been
frequent, and but short time since, one Cali
fornlan lost about $1,000 in gold dust, taken
from his trunk in broad daylight Others both
citizens and Californians, have been robbed at
Chagres. The residents of the place for long
time delayed any action whatever, and it was
not until the 10Th inst, that meeting was
held. large and efficient patrol were drafted
for the night, and at an adjourned meeting, or
the following day, the AlcaIde was present, anc
issued writs for the arrest of certain suspicious
characters! He also appointed strong pole,
OF Americans, who Immediately proceeded to tn,
Point and with some struggling, succeeding il
arresting four white honbres and one negro
! previously received by the Georgia. who were
instantly confined, and kept on shore Sunday
night, surrounded by large guard On Mon.
day they were removed on board of the schoo-
ner Clara, and an efficient guard placed over
them day and night, as strong limitations had
been received that an attempt would be made
by their confederates TO rescue them No out
break occurred until Thursday evening, when
the negro population assembled in secret con-
claye, aud well armed. The meeting was dis
covered by one Of the citizens, (Col. Smilie,)
who is ever on the alert, and before they had
made any progress, he called on the Indepen-
dent Boatmen's Club, whose members had hith-
erto taken no part with the Americans in ar
resting the men confined on the Clara, and the
meeting was suddenly broken up by the club
thus undoubtedly preventing a serious fire and
outbreak. They afterwards made an inelfect-
ual attempt to hold meeting on the other 81 le
of the river. The Americans in Chagres desire
to assure their fellow-citizens elsewhere, that
they are thoroughly organized, and are fully de
termined that all depredations shall hencelorth
be stopped, and wish to give notice to all burglars,
rse'tbieves, and loalers of their sort, that if
they come to Chagres, they will suddenly find
themselves in hot water, and as soon as they ar
rive, they may expect to leave for other parts.
They are also determined that the place shall
be thoroughly purged ofnll doubtful characters.
The FIVE prisoners were put on board the Eng
lish brig Viking, bound for Matanzas, on Sun
day last, the goth.

POPULATION OF CALHoRNIA-It has been
generally estimated on this side of the continent,
that the population of California would not ex.
coed 200000-our own was to that amount
but more recent estimators reduced the num-
Der below that amount We are therefore sur
prised to find by the following article, which we
extract from the Sacramento Times, careful
and reliable paper, that the population of Cali
fornia amounts to $4,000, of whom 100000
were engaged in mining during the past year.
This will entitle California to three representa-.
tiyes in the United States House of Representa-
tives:
In the northern mines or that scope of coun-
try lying north Of San Francisco and Feather
river, we give population of 100000 Feather
river, with all of its mining tributaries, $4,000.
The Yuba, 10000, Bear river, 1000. The Anne.
rcan fork, 10000. The southern mines, or all
that portion Of the mining country Of California
lying south of the American river 10000. The
San Joaquin valley, 10000. The city of San
Francisco, with the population scattered in its
immediate neighborhood, $4,000. The Sacra
mento valley, including all above San Francisco
10000. The coast, or that portion Of the State
which lies below San Francisco, bordering upor
the ocean, 10000; making in all, population
Of $4,000, which we believe is as nearly correc
as the means at hand will allow us TO proximate

One NfcD More,

The Senate of Massachusetts passed unani-
mously Except four Dissenting voces) the fol-
lowing:
Resoired, That Massachusetts afiirms anew
her hostility to slavery and her devotion to the
Union; that inspired by these cherished senti.
ments, she longs for harmony among the differ
ent parts of our common country; but she can
not conceal the conviction that this can be final
ly and permanently secured only by the over
throw of slavery, so far as the same can be con-
additionally done, every where within the juris-
dicton of the national government; that the
free States may be relieved from oil responsible
ity therefor, so that freedom, instead of slavery
shall become national, and slavery, instead of
freedom, become sectional
Massac usetts, We see, is loud for the Union,
