The passengers in the cars from York, PENN

killed near Lancaster 1t appears that Edward

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 marshal commanded
the company to assist him, but they refused.
Gorsuch and friends retired being overcome,
and when retiring were fired upon by the ne
groes, from the windows of the houses, and
were also attacked by the crowed from the out
side. Edward Gorsuch was shot in the arm
and shoulder, and has since died. a.
He was beaten with clubs after he was shot.
Another Mr.. Gorsuch was also mortally shot
DR.. Thomas Pierce was shot and badly beaten,
and it is feared will die. The Messrs. Hutchins
escaped to Philadelphia. Two or three Of the
negroes were also shot. Such was the violence
Of the attack that none of the survivors could
best could.
The crowd of blacks and whites numbered
about two hundred. None interfered to save
the lives of the citizens.

1t has been thought by many that newspaper

probably solve this problem--or at least it will
possess no such patronage not voluntarily given,
