The Christiana Outrage Again.

We find in the Philadelphia and Baltimore papers
further details of the late atrocous outrage by which
two citizens of Maryland met their death at the
hands of brutal mob, while engaged in the attempt
to recover their property in obedience to law, and in
pursuance of the constitution The tone ofthe Phil
adelphia press of both parties is bold and open in
denunciation of the outrage and its perpetrators.
The Governor of Pennsylvania has offered reward
of 81 900 for the perpetrators. Some thirty persons
have been arrested and general disposition is evin-
ced to put the matter through, and vindicate the
law Nothing less will satisfy the relations of the in
jured parties, and the friends of justice

that the Captain General has pardoned three of the
prisoners of the Inflated Lopez expedition. Their
names are Kelly, Haynes, and Van Vichter He has
also paid their expenses to New Orleans. The Cap

JackRsS Skins.

Among the cargo brought by the Norwegian
schooner Veranda, arrived at New York from the
Rio Grande. were two hundred and eight jackass
skins, which are entered by that name the mani
fest. This is not a commodity which remember
to have seen before in the list of importations.
We had sort of notion that this peculiar descrip-
ton of animal never died. We have never seen a
dead mule jackass in our lives. We have heard
of the affection existing between . grim death and a
dead niger" bat did not know that there were any
relations established between death and a jackass-
In fact still incline to the idea that the two hun
bred and eight in question were skinned alive.

Chrstiana, a small town in Chester county, Penn
sylvania, about twenty miles from Lancaster, was,
on Thursday last 18th inst the scene of dreadful
and atrocous outrage the part of several fugitive
slaves and their abolition associates 1t that
two slaves, belonging to Mr.. Edward Gorsuch a
wealthy and respectable citizen of Baltimore coun-
ty, made their escape time since, and their re-
treat having been discovered, Mr.. Gorsuch, accom-
panied by his son, went to Philadelphia and having
obtained the services Of deputy U s. marshal start
ed for the village above named. The negroes had
information of their coming, and nstigated by
of the white abolonists, prepared to resist One of
the slaves shot Mr.. Gorsuch dead and in turn was
shot by Mr.. G's son. and Immediately another ne
gro shot the and the crowd collected and killed
the second negro. 1t would seem that the negro
population, having been advised of the nature and
intent Of the visit of the officers to Chrisana, held
meeting, and asked the opinion of several leading
aboltionists to what they should pursue.

prevailed throughout Lancaster county, and the ne

that Judges KANE and GRIER have decided the Of
