ARREST OF ANOTHER FUGITIvE SLAVE
AND HIS Rescue BY A MoB.-About noon
at Boston on Saturday, Deputy Marshal
Riley, and assistants, arrested at the Corn
Hill Cofee-house, an alleged fugitive slave,
one Frederick Wilkins, or Shadrack, ne
negro waiter, on warrant issued by the U.
S. Commissioner, G. Il. Curtis, on com
plan. that the accused was The property Of
John De Bree, Purser in the U. S. NAVY, Of
lion, and carried Immediately TO the U. S.
Court room.
After an examination Of the documents
upon which the warrant was issued, the case
was postponed to Tuesday yesterday y
The Deputy Marshal then ordered the room
to be cleared Of spectators, which was gradu-
ally done, when a mob Of negroes rushed
into the room and rescued the slave from
the hands of the officers, and it is supposed
he will not again be recovered. Great ex-
element was caused throughout Boston. as
one of the most daring oulrages upon law
and order ever committed.
In the Senate, on Monday, Mr.. CLAY Of
fered resolution calling upon the Presi-
dent TO lay before Congress any information
he may possess in relation to the recent out
rage in Boslon-to communicate what mea-
sures he has adopted to NEE. the occurrence,
and wha, additional legislation is necessary
TO execute existing laws. The resolution
lies over.
A Washington correspondent of the 9Th
inst, says: "The greatest excitement pre-
walls about the recent fugitive slave case in
Boston and Cabinet meeting has this dav
been held on the subject. ! have no doub,
whatever, but that The President will do
his duty, and that the evidence Of it will be
shown in lees than twen,y-four hours, mark
my words.'

The Senate of Ohio had under consideration for
some time a General Free Banking Bill The
basis upon which the system is formed is the pledge
of one dollar of State stocks for every dollar of
bills for circulation the banks may issue. This is
of the banks for the redemption of their notes
Speaking of this measure the Ohio State Journal
says:
The effect of the passage of the free banking bill
viii be, to draw back to Ohio the millions of our
stock, scattered abroad over the Union and
over Europe. The annual payment of our interest,
amounting to over one million of dollars, will then
be to our own citizens, to those within our own
countr., thus saving at home, a large amount that
otherwise would go abroad In specie or its equiva

The Mayor and Councils ofWashington have me-
morialzed Congress upon the subject of African
Colonization of Free Negroes. They ask the ia
vorable action of Congress upon the proposition for
the colonization of the free negroes Of this country
upon the coast Of Africa, upon plan reported ia
vorably upon in the House Of representatives.
They state, in recitinr the evils arising from the
increase of the free negro population in this coun

population of 10000 within that city, 5000 are
free negroes.

AT the opening of Court on Monday
GEORGE BRENT, Esq, declined continuing
to &C, as Deputy Attorney General for this
county. Mr.. Brent stated tina. lie felt this
course due 10 hmsef-lhat the Attorney
General bad informed him few days since,
that he desired hin to continue in the dis
charge Of his duties as deputy during the
present term, but that Immediately upon the
adjournment Of Court he intended 10 dis
place him for a political friend. Under these
circumstances, Mr.. Brent thought if he con-
unued his official capacity, he would appar-
emily recognize as proper the course the At
torney General proposed 10 himself to pur
sue, in being guided in his appointments by
political feeling, which he could not and
would not do.
We are informed tta, in lhis county the
piuCe ol Itputy Htioiuty oeuel7l udo oteI
kept disconnected from politics; and conduct
ing as we do a strictly neutral paper, we
sincerely regret that this important trust
should be reduced to party subserviency.-
Party has already too much to do with the
beslowal of public trusts, and no one can
see It's additional Entertainments without
pain.
These views, with a sentiment Of deep
regre, at the loss of most efficient officer
Of the commonwealth, have been generally
expressed by members Of both political par
lies since Mr.. BIent's announcement on
Monday.
Mr. Brent has been for some years past
the Deputy Attorney for our county, and
in that capacity has protected the interest
of the State in all her cases in our Court
with marked and decided ability as a law
yer and high-toned justice as man.
N. SToNEsTREET, Esq, under the ap-
poinlment of Court, is now acting as Deputy
Attorney General for the county.

EXTRAORDINARY Whedt.-

EXTRAORDINARY FERTILITY.-Whedt.-
Bishop Holiday, residing in Utah Territory,
on South Cottonwood Greek, about ten miles
south Of the Great Salt Lake City, raised,
trombone bushel sowing, one hundred and
eIg hly bushels Of the choices, and cleanest
VII eat, measured up, and i, weighed plump
sixty pounds to the bushel. This bushs
was sowed in drills upon three or four acres
OF ground, and seasonsbIy irrigated This
same gentleman informed It's tina, bis wheat
was better this last season than i, was the
year previous, and he fell confident that
portion oi his last crop would produce two
hundred bushels from one busheI sowing,
though not then threshet out. That j,
truly great country for wheat. bu, il re.
quIres much labor and attention during the
season Of irrigation; and connected with
this operation, there are many lille things
TO be observed, or you will RUN your cron.
Every new seliler Can learn them all from
The experience Of those who were there be-
fore him. No country that we ever saw
can equal it for vines, and vegetables of ALI
kinds. Melons in great abundance are pre-
duced there, Of the larges, size and richest
quality that we ever saw. II is not natural
for Indian corn, yet it is grown there, and
the land has been made 10 produce fflv
bushels to the acre, though this is an un-
common yield.
Farmers begin to sow wheat there i'm
August, and continue 10 SOW every month";.
and perhaps every week, when frost does
not prevent, until the next June; and about
The goth Of June they begin TO harvest, and
continue harvesting their wheat until the
following November. We left there on the
lst day OF October, and the vines were all
as green as summer. and many pieces Of
wheat were not harvested, but were Just
turning white; and we said, surely, This is
The country where "the plowmen overlake
the reapers."
In this country, when wheat is ripe, it
has TO be harvested or the crop is lost. Not
so there. 1T may stand in the field mon h
after it is ripe, and take no harm. 1t is a
different sort Of whea, from ours. When
early whea, is harvested in that country, bv
Irrlgallng the stu background, a second
growth springs out from the roots of The
stubble and no, from the seed, and often
comes 10 maturity the same year. This is
usually the case with oals.-Frontier Guar

bill which will stand an enduring monument

refer to the bill appropria'ing ten millions
of acres Of the public lands (equal to twelve
millions five hundred thousand dollars) to
be apporloned among the several States in
all equitable ratio, for the endowment of
Hospitals for the INDECENT Insane. Most
sincerely do we congratulate the humane
and eslmsble lady (Miss Dix to whose
unwearied exer,ions in rousing public SYM
pa,hy and influence in aid Of her benevolent
scheme, is the country mainly indebted for
the success which has thus far attended this
praseworlhy measure in the National Leg
isla,ure. May the sanction of the other
House Of Congress consumma,e the act, and
render her happiness complete.
