Some excitement created at Syracuse, N. Y,
on Thursday last, by report that the U. S. Mar
shall had issued warrant for the arrest of fugi-
tive slave. the wife of colored of that city
She Immediately made her escape towards Canada,
and the city placarded cautionng fugitive slaves
to beware of kdnappers. The Marshal however.

the day it also became known that the grand Jury
had indicted James Lear. of Missouri. and Marshal

the soil there will not be a million of Irshmen in
Ireland in 1852" In another part of the same pa

the whole edifce in two years. which, they say,
can be done-instead of taking five years for it,

rial of the Capitol have not been decided upon and
will not be till after the report is received as to the
several quarries from which the marble offered is to

Gen. ITouston, OF Texas.


The subjoined letter from this distinguished Sena-
tor is given to readers that they may see how ut
terly sanderous was the attempt to connect his nae
with the sentiments circulated under the name OF C.
H. Donaldson. of Texas-a character manufactured
for the purpose of doing injury which no respon-
sible gentleman could venture to sanction Although
the whole transaction has been accepted by the pub
lie as hoax, vet it is to be condemned an unman
mode of assailing the character of statesman and
patriot whose services place him far out OF the reach
of such maleyoent shafts -
HUNTSVILLE, Texas, Sept. q, 1851.
Dear Sir My attention has been called by a
friend to an editorial in the Richmond Enquirer of
the I'd inst. In it you suggest that ought to dis
claim The agency of Mr.. C. H. Donaldson, so far as he
au hare sought to connect me ach his correspondence
which has recently appeared in the New York Her
aid. If there is any such person as Mr. c. H. Dom
aidson. or ever has been in Texas am not aware of
the fact, nor have been able to obtain information
of any such individual. have several gentle
men who have recently canvassed our State in the
late elections, and not Of them has heard OF
Mr. Donaldson.
Enclosed send you several editorials from news
papers, from which you may be enabled to come to
some satisfactory conclusions to the Importance
which should attach to the Donaldson humbug.
Further than this have nothing to do with the
affair. IF Mr. C. H Donaldson is real person, and
be identified, it will be found that neither
he any other person. in truth has any authority
to my name in any pledges. bargains. or agree
ments with any individuals cliques, for any polit
ical purpose whatsoever; nor could as an honora
! BILE sanction such course.
| will leave you, sir and all intelligent men. to d
vine the object for which this extraordinary cores
pondence has been gotten up, with vapid attempt
to connect my name with principles to which have
ever been opposed: SO far as it has been necessary
proper in the discharge ofmy public duties, eth
er in speaking, voting or acting. | have sought NJ
concealment of my principles and it is due to my
self that should remain consistent with the past ir
all things, which may affect my character, and
the peace prosperity and honor of our country.

Reduced Majority.

Notwithstanding our own and the endeav-
ors of others, the returns from this district have
come in but slowly. Orange county remains
yet to be heard from, and we have set down
the result there at the reported rumor.-
Crawford county, instead OF giving one for
Lockeart, gives 157 for DeBruler, or else re-
ports directly from there on Saturday are
false. In Pike, there was mistake oil nine
10 favor OF Lockhart. 10 Spencer; mistake
OF l5in favor Of Lockhart, and in Gibsoa OF
in fave OF same; so that now, with these
corrections, Lockhart's majority has been re-
duced to fsentyJfre. We may tomorrow,
owing to thedesultory manner in which the
returns come have to make other correc.
tons, but the tabs published to-day is as cor.
rect as table cans. concocted from all thu

DoN'r FIRE AT THAT FINE Fellow ON
THE WHITE HoRsE.-This was the excIama-
ton of a British Officer at the battle of
Lundy's Lane, we think, when the gallant
Scott dashed from the lines, on his snow
white charger, and performed some daring
feat.
Young, handsome, tall and brave, he pre-
sented a spectacle of heroism and chivaIrv
which dazzed even the eyes of his enemies:
and the leveled musket of the soldier. who
was about TO fire at the 'ishlning marks was
suddenly arrested by the "word of com
m md"
Gen. Scott is now a veteran, and vet more
honored by his scars than by his years. His
name is covered with the glory of many a
well fought field, and he stands before us to-
day, as ne will stand forever on the page of
history, crowned with all the triumph Of the
eonquerer. He is a man unsurpassed in mil
itary science, unequaIled in his military
achievements, unstained in his military ca
reer. in morals, he is uninpeached and un-
in politics, sound and conser-
vative: 10 society: perfect gentleman.
