Mrs SMisshelm ON Marriage.

Marriage in our opinion, is union
which would every hour be renewed, by
the free will Of both parties, provided the
state every hour allowed it. Whenever
two are really weary Of each other they
are no longer married and nobody can
marry them. II is base prostitution Of
the name and object Of marriage, to bind
two TO live together contrary to the will Of
either. Nor can we see how society can
possibly be benefited by an arrangement
which compelled the semblance Of mar
riage where the reality does not exist.
Many are of opinion that il it were not
for the stringency Of the civil law, nearly
all families would be broken up, and socie-
" 90 into chaos. We have no such no.
lion. If proclamation were made TO day
declaring every marriage in the Union
null and void, and leaving il once more to
the choice Of the parties whether the rsla-
tions be renewed, business would be sus-
pended, newspapers would stop, stores,
factories and workshops would close
The editors would be all at home getting
married, merchants operators and mechan-
les would each be awaiting their turn to
have the nuptual knot retiea. Cross fret
ful, sickly wives that had almost been felt
burden before, would grow very dear
from the thought of separation. Domi.
neering, harsh husbands would be forgiv-
en-, and in all cases where spark Of con-
jugal love remained it would be blown te
flame-where nothing but the dead en-
bers are, the ashes would be taken up, and
made into soap and society cleaned there.

On the 26th Of February, Mr. Runnell.
Of Panama, while proceeding up the Cha.
gres river, discovered dead body floating
on the water, and fastened BY the clothes

some men and woman, and two new
made graves, and the turkey buzzards
were eating the dead bodies. He pro-
ceeded on shore and found the graves of
two women who had been murdered /;
their heads and those Of the men had
been broken, and their th.oats cut. They
found, and buried the bodies of four men.

trunks and valise broken open and rob-
bed OF their contents, also money belt cut
open and rifled. Two negroes were seen

ey in Chagres. They were arrested, and
confessed the murder. The story OF, one
of them is as follows:
"There were four natives in the boat
with himself; that they got to Dos Her

says a scuffle ensued, and he struck the
man over the head with ar Oar, and killed
him and then commenced the work Of
death, ended in their killing the whole
party. This story is not believed, as from
the nature Of their wounds they were cru
ely murdered while asleep, and then rob-
bed. These natives gave information of
the whereabouts Of the other two, and one
has since been arrested in Gorgona."

we learn that the hearing OF the case OF John
son, arrested in that city as Il fugitive slave, was
brought TO close on the 9th, and at . O'Clock
commissioners Meeker, before whom the east
was pending, proceeded to give his decision
which occupied more than an hour in the de
livery. The following We're the material points
decided:
l. That the record was invalid, because the
testimony of the witnesses was not set out
therein the commissioner stating that, in his
opinion, it was the intention Of Congress TO
auf prize the Judges of the State courts merely
to make record In the nature of deposition
aud not in the nature of Judicial proceeding
2. That II was bad. because it did not show
on its face that at the time it was made the
negro man therein described owed service and
labor; that although it was stated he escaped
on the 18th of July, 1850, yet non constat but
that he might have returned before the king
Of the record, aud meanwhile been brought by
his master to this State. In the commissioners
opinion, the record should absolutely negative
any possibility Of such construction
3. That the negro in court did not answer to
the one described in the record and writ, the first
being black man five feet five inches high,
and the description in the record being that of
a copper-colcred man five feet eight inches
high. II certificate were to be granted by him
the description would have to correspond with
the one in the record, and In the co nmissioner's
opinion, If the prisoner. were to be taken on
habeas corpus before Judge, he would be dis
charged, on view, as not being the same person.
When the final decision was announced, says
the Chicago print from which we quote, the
longpent-np feelings Of the multitude found ut
terance in shout after shout ofexultant applause
the law had been ylndicated, and the sacred
domain of liberty was to be infringed upon no
lodger.--Johnson was taken by his friends,
passed out of the court room and down the
steps to his friends below, who hurried off
rapidly with him up Lake street to Wells, and
down Wells to place of safc.y in case an at
tempt should be made to arrest him again.
