ren There have been so many colored

There have been SO many colored
persons kidnapped, without shadow OF
law or right, along the borders of Del
aware ard MARYLAND, that they have
armed themselves for self-defence. A
deadly conflict took place in that region
last week, respecting which accounts are
as different as they were for time from
Havana 1t is agreed, however, that the
leader of the assailing party and one or
two of the assailed were shot dead, while
others of each party were more or less
injured. 1t is alledged on the one side
that it was a legal demand for fusitives
from labor; ON the other, that it was
lawless, kidnapping attack. Several OF
those engaged in the defence have been
arrested, and will be tried according to
law, when all the facts will doubtless ap-
pear. We give, in preceding column,
all the facts officially promulgated-the

Of course, the " liberty" loving gents

there such characters are very mourniu!-
ly-disposed at this collision; and think ''the
Union" can hardly stand it For our
selves, we have no doubt Law will decide
the question, and the blacks will be suili-
ciently punished, if guilty. Whether the
whites, if guilty, will be punished, is not
50 sure, but We hope so. Piracy on the
high seas, and kidnapping on land, are
kindred crimes, and crimes most odious
and every throb of humanity and phIlan-
thropy as well as justice, must be for those,
(of whatever nation or rcliglon) who have
the courage and the manliness TO defend,
at whatever cost or hazard, the last safe

Hiking Soils.

Some nine or ten year ago, IN the early
part of my farming, | had occasion to
deepen well about six Or eight feet The
earth thrown out was tenacious blue clay,
just damp enough to cut into Jumps, and
ishing the ll well, the rnin'V nan who G had charge
of The farm was at loss to know where
to deposit it. Having a bare sandy knoll
in one of the fields, which was not inaptly
termed personal property" from its being
waited about by every breeze, here to-day
and there tomorrow, it occurred to me
that the clay would hold the sand and form
a soil. l accordingly ordered it deposited
there in heaps, the same as if manure
This was in the summer. In the fall the
Jumps were scattered over the surface and
left to the action Of the rain and frost
In the spring it was found to have broken
down, crumbled and slaked like lime
These heaps were reduced and the clay
evenly spread over the surface. The field
received a coat of manure, was plowed,
and sown with eats and peas. That where
the clay was applied, produced the largest
and more vigorous growth, Of any other
part Of the field. In the fall it was sown
with rye, and seeded GoSn with timothy
and clover The rye as wei! as the clover
was much more vigorous and heavier on
that, than any other part Of the field. In
fact, the person who occupied the farm af-
ter | left it, informed me that he lost his
crop of grass on that part in consequence
of its lodging. Thus the personal was
made real or fast property, and remains SO
to the present day.
Having experienced such beneficial
effects from mixing clay with sand, | was
afterwards induced to try what effect sand
would have on rather retentive soil
The garden at Three Hills Farm, is q stiff
clay loan resting on strong tenacious clay
sub-soil, rather inclining to moisture. The
second year after | purchased and took
possession Of it, l caused coat Of sand,
from six to eight in depth, to be put on one
of the squares, which was spadcd in with
the manure, and l had the satisfaction to
witness the most gratifying and happy re
sul:s-the crop on that square was far su-
perior to any other in the garden. Since
then / have caused over FIVE hundred one
horse cart loads of sand to be put in the
garden, and the effect is still visible al
though the sand has disappeared. ."-DR
Poole.
[The above is judicious treatment where
required, but in many fields the sub-scil
contains the amendment; thus sands often
rest N clays, and then deeper plowiug not
only fu.- -nishes the necessary amendment,
but at the same time deepens the soil

E@'The political meetings at New Ber,
LIN yesterday, we learn, were well attended,
and quite satisfactory to all concerned.
The Wings organized in front of the
County Offices, Robert ii. Laird, President
and Were addressed by Col. Eli S.ifer,
Charles Merrill, Esq, and James Aiken.
They then adjourned to the Court House,
where Andrew &. Curtin, Esq, spoke at
some length and with great force and effect,
mainly on the Presidential aspect of the
Governor election.
The Democrats assembled in the Court
House, Isaac slenker, Esq, in the chair,
and were addressed by Capt. Hummel and
Hon. Geo. W. Woodward. Judge Wood
wards speech was fully equal to his exalted
reputation. His principal point was the
Union" question (and we believe all
concur in the opinion that if the Union
stoutd be " busted up by the reelection
Of Gov. Johnston and the non-repeal of
Gov. Shunk's Anti-Slavery Law, Judge
Woodward has shaken himself from all re-
sponsibility in TIE matier.) The meeting
then adjourned to the stand in front of the
County Offices, aud was addressed by II.

ES~ Mcssrs. Kunkle and Killingcr failed
to meet their engagements in Union Co.,
in consequence Of other matters (of which
they had no knowledge when they made

We believe they had no intention of de-

The Panama Star of August 18th, says
that the British Steamer New Grenada
had arrived that morning from the South
American coast, with sS,O00,000 in silver
bullion. This is equal to 500, 600 pounds
in weight, or go tons! It is not credible
that such an amount should be ready to
cume forward at one time, or that shippers
would risk so much in one bottom. Il i.
probable that there is an error in the types
of the Star and the total amount perhaps
should read $500, 600.

MESSAGE OF THE GOV. OF INDIANA

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 4, 1851.-Governor
Wright, of Indiana, in his message to the
Legislature, expresses himself decidedly
strong in favor of colonization. Speaking
of the fugitive law, he says: "Whatever
differences of opinion may exist as to the
late compromise measures enacted by
Congress-however ultra men in the North
and South may oppose or denounce them;
there is but one course of action for the
true patriot to pursue-that is, unhesita-
tingly, and in good faith, to carry out their
enactments. There is no safety for prop.
erty or life except in the absolute supre-
macy Of the law; no higher duty Of the
citizen than to maintain, by word and
deed, that supremacy, as we value the her.
itage, rich beyond all price, purchased.
not with silver or gold, but with the life's
blood of the good and brave; the heritage
bequathed to us by our fathers, and which
in turn, we must bequeath inviolate to our
descendants. Let us bear in mind that
the first public act Of disobedience to the
law is the first fatal step on the downward
road to anarchy" The message gives
very flattering accounts Of the financial
condition of the State.
