The Syracuse Outrage.

This case continues to cause great excitement in
the State of New York. The Syracuse Star says
no similar occurrence ever will or can take place
there again, because more stringent measures
would be taken TO prevent mob violence, sober re-
Election would prevent repetition of the outrage
and the punishment which must follow this afro
cious conduct will effcctually check it hereafter
Vandenburgh, the abolition colonel, who ordered
the troops to disband, has come out with lame
apology, which has already in part been contra
dicted by the company officers who subject to
his command In reference to the arrest of the
slave which caused the riot, the Star says
"Andwhat was the cause ofthis outbreak? Sim
ply that colored man who had been four times
sentenced to the penitentary of this city during
the present season for crimes, charged upon oath
with owing service or labor to man in Missouri,
had escaped from that State and come here, upon
which a warrantwas issued by proper officer of
the United States and the fugitive arrested by the
marshal for trial according to law.
Gle was not soughtto be charged by any exparte
evidence taken in Missouri, but by witnesses in
open court where he had the benefit of counsel
and the right of cross examination, and the right
to produce witnesses in his defence
$50 far, then, as this case was concerned, the law
of 1893, approved by Washington, would have been
all the law required in this proceeding; that the
hue and cry against the late law has nothing to do
with this case, and mightas well be applied to the
law which has been in force since the organization
of the Government.
"When there such violence to the exc
cution of the former law? Never never, Have
men become much wiser, or better, or more vir-
tuous, than those patriots who formed our Federal
Constituon-who made 1t a part of the fundamen-
tai law that held to labor and service in one
State escaping into another, Gas we'll as fugtives
from justice,) should be delivered up?'
Geographic despatch from Syracuse, of the
18th, says:
Numerous dispositions have been taken before
United States Commissioner Sabine, bearing upon
the law. Several arrests have been resolved upon ,
the parties to the being generally identified
1t will be satisfactory to the lovers of law and order
everywhefe to know that the ringleaders of the
riot not likely to escape the penalty of their
temerity by any lack Of evidence"

CULTURE OF THE TEA PLANT.--Mr. Junius Smith
continues to pursue with zeal and success the cul-
tvation of the tea plant in South Carolina In
letter OF the 23d ultmo to the New York Journal of
Commerce he says:
'The tea seedlings which have terminated this
summer, and are now from eight to ten inches in
height, are far more numerous than | have had
them at any former period. The excessive drought
and heat have, no doubt, been prejudicia to the
vegetation Of the tea nut, as well as to the growth
and vigor OF the tea plant The absolute necessity
of more thorough irrigation is quite apparent.
My older and larger plants stand heat and
cold, and have grown finely since they were trans
planted from the village in March. Most of them
are covered with blossom buds. The first blossom
appeared yesterday. Numbers of others are just
ready to open out. The autumnal planting of tea
nuts have terminated more generally than those
planted in the spring and summer in lesser num-
Der. The nuts which have just received from
China, of this years growth, are in sound condi-
ton, small quantity of which will be spared for
those DESTROYS of planting, which will be the best
that can be obtained am aware that farmers as
well as others, are apt to be impatient, and grudge
the long time they must wait for the latter har-
vest. Many of them, doubtless, with me, can re-

The PRoPosEp STEAMERS FOR AFRIcA.-During
the last session of Congress public opinion was
loudly expressed in favor of the esta bsbment, with
the aid of Government, of line of steamers to run
regularly from certain ports of this country to Lii
IBERIA. We were gratified that such an object re-
ceived the attention of Congress- and cherished the
hope that something would be done which would
secure it's speedy execution Our views are UNI
changed, and we trust the effort to the aid
Government to the projectwll be renewed As to the
size of those steamers, different opinions may and
do exist among the friends of the enterprise. We
have always thought that the largest size would
not be the BEST but that for many those of
moderate size would have the advantage. Deep
water near the shore is not usual on the African
coast. The Coionisdtion Herald protests against
huge steamers of four thousand tons, while 1t de-
sres greatly that line of communication by steam
to Africa should be established. The large steam
ers would have an advantage in bringing emf
grants and goods from Europe on their return,
and we should wish them, rather than that the pro-
jet should be abandoned England and France
are both earnestly engaged in endeavors to obtain
the benefits oil African commerce. Our interest in
that commerce is should be greater than theirs,
and we have opportunity through Liberia of avail
ing ourselves of special and peculiar advantages

Who vice, in all its pomp and power,
Can treat with just neglect;
And piety, though clothed in rags,
Religiously respect.

A Poem for Lovers.


What are kisses ?
Short~lyed blisscss
As the dcw-dreps in the sun;
Yet by giving
And receiving
Them are hearts off lost and won
Foolish Tipping,
Nectar slipping,
Sweeter than the honicd flowers;
Such employment,
What enjoyment,
1t imrarts 10 twilight hoursl
Bright eyes shining,
Brown locks lwining,
Checks as rudy as the rose;
Smooth chin rounded,
Straight neck bounded
BY hcaving bosom's SHOWS.
All these charm me,
But not harm me
Half 50 much as ruby lips
Sweetly smiling,
Soul bcguiling,
\, sweet poison thence 1t sips.
Words they've spoken,
Trembling, broken,
Low, but all my frame then thrill,
"Thine for ever!
will never
Cease to love thee, come what will !"
With blc'sing,
Fondly pressing
Many time those lips to mine,
Thus | murmur,
Lovely charmcr,
| too am for eysr tn inc "
