On the lst inst. our community was con-
vulsed 10y one of those violent excitements,
before which customary barriers give way.
A horrible murder was followed iy n SUM
mary aud terrible punishment The details
of the tragedy, as accurately as we can as
certain, are these:
About . o'clock p. W., of Wednesday, n
negro, accompanied by white man, called
at the Mayors Office. The object of the ne
gro was to hive paper purpOrtng to be "A

Poston, WaldsHn and Frazer, the latter of
whom made some remarks to the negro
relative to his conduct; and Mr. Chester

THE CINCINNATI "FUGITIvE SLAVE CASE"
We referred yesterday TO the arrest OF n
eolored man by our city watchmen. We
have since seen the individual who was ap-
pretended as Fugitive" and locked in
enc of the cells of the watch-housc. The
history OF this aflar is somewhat singular,
and may be interesting TO our readers. We
yesterday saw the npprehcndcd Z" fugitive"
and found him TO he the barber, Hamilton
Jackson, of Walnut street. He lives al the
corner OF New and Broadway. On Sunday
night lnst, man who gave his name us Cbas.

and inquired of him, after some circunilocu-
tory proceedings, where the watchmen were.
Jackson showed Hooker the Ninth Ward
watch when Hooker ordered them to arrest
jackson ms q runaway slave from his father.
Jackson was accordingly taken into custo-
dy, and marched TO the Mayors Office, all the
time supposing it was n joke, and that the
parties knew him. At the Mayors office the
Chief of The Police and the officers were nc
ting in good filth, and even sent TO Mayo
Spenccrs house for his honor. Jackson wa
put into cell and locked in! lie had bccl
there some time, when he began to think TN
joke had lasted long enough, and asked Il
he let olt, but was then informed that th
proceedings were in earnest, aud that h
was really imprisoned Ht the instigation @
Hooker, and 10y affidavit by him, held as
"iugitive." This was rather n serious mat
ter for Jackson; sill hc knew that he coul
establish his freedom, as hundreds ha
known him here for ten years or more, an
there were persons here, also, who kue,
him when u child in Chillico,he.
The Fourth Ward watchmen came in dur
ing the night, and seeing Jackson confne
there, and knowing him well had him releas
ed. The officers are now after Hooker, br
he is not 10 I've found. We presume iher
are few people of color better known her

GUATEMALA, FEB. III, ISoI.
Tie U'ar b1woen Guatemala, Honduras, and San
Salrador--Ike Batte Of La acknowledgements Of
the Gaa,cmalion Army, SC.
Believing it may be acceptable, send you here
with enclosed, the last number Of the OGfcia Ga-
.dte. efGuatemala, containing matter Of moro than
ordinary interest respecting the occurrences which
have recently taken place in these countries.
As prelude to the news, l would observe that
since tho month Of September last, the States Of
San Salvador Honduras, and Nicaragua formed IN
alliance, and set on fvct the project of reforming
federal government for Central America each State
to send two representatives to Chinandcga, Qn Mica
ragua,) TO constitute federal Congress Before
the meeting, however, of this great body of six
individuals, the States Of San Salvador and Hondu-
ras, against the tact consent of Nicaragua, raised
an army Of some five thousand men, and invaded
Guatemala, to obligc her to enter the compact.
The battle Of la Arada will show You the result Of
their mad undertaking.
Ii is to be hoped that this will be the last attempt
oftho sort, us Il Is my candid opinion that no go-
yernment OF the kind can or ought to be formed.
These countries Mt present, totally unfit for IL,
and every attempt TO form a federal government
must and will tend to create revolutions, anarchy
and confusion.
What is most wanted, in my opinion, in these
countries, and what would more than anything else
tend to secure FOR them peace, is TO bring about
good understanding and uniformity Of action be-
tween the American and British representatives
here, to the want of which, the preeent war Is in
no small degree owing; and IL would be very de-
sirable that some decided steps Of this sort were
adopted by the two nations.
Since the battle La Arada, General Carrcra is
said 10 have marched with his victorious army
10 Santa Ana, some twelve leagues into the terri
tory Of Salvador reinforced by 1000 fresh troops
from Guatemala. whore, il Is supposed, he will re-
main for the present. for the purpose of preventing
any attempt al a second invasion, and to obligc a
change Of government in san Salvador, without
which, mediation of ours, any other amicablc
arrangement can take pace-to obtain which, IL
necessary, General Carrera will no doubt march to
San Salvador. This war upon Guatemala has been
her neighbors has been throughout honorable aud
forbearing, ever wishing TO avoid coming TO blows,
as her readiness to accept friendly mediation Of
the foreign agents amply proves. w.

THE RrMoREp OUTBREAK ~ CrBI-The various
rumors respecting an outbreak in Cuba, have their
origin in the fact. well known here, that large
number Of the patriots have been leaving Havana,
since the 10th Of this month, for Nuelta Abajs,
with view Of joining tho revolutionary movement
az soon ~ II breaks out. This movement has been
hastened by the orders which have been issued for
the arrest OF the leading patriots In Havana, and in
other parts Of tho island. A considerable number
Of them have retired to the mountains, carrying
with them an entire company Of Spanish soldiers,
which was stationed at San Crisobal. at tho foot OF
the Corco mountains, and many deserters from the
army. Thcse mountains afford retreats inaccessi-
bic TO tho Spanish authorities. The arrests re-
ferred to were made during the festivities the

Senator from Illinois, Is to deliver the Annual
Address before the Agricultural Society OF our
state at It's Fair IN Rochester on the Goth OF next

and was bred a cabinet maker, but, removing to
Illinois, he descended to the Bar, and addicted
himself to litigation and Loco-Focolsm. He is
low III stature but lofty In aspiration, and Is
thought to have an excellent chance for the Baltl
more nomination and thus the refusal OF the next
Presidency. as Gen Cass had before him. He is
vet Young man, with very little starch IN his
composition, and as a candidate by no means the
boy to be laughed at, though Middlebury Col

HIM accountable for that folly.
