Four ilOrC Slaves Rrmandcd TO their Owners
from Pennsylvania.

A despatch from liarrisburgh, dnicd Sep
teniber 9Th, states tint the four ilgtives,
John Sinucher, John Bell, Edward Michel
aud Finton Mercer, charged by Michael
Lenlz Oh suspcion of having participated in
the Chrisliana riots, were to-day brought he
fore Judge Pearson, on writ OF habeus corpus,
The Judge decided tlIat the magistrate com
mitied gross derelicIion of duty in issuing
commitment without evidence. The pris-
oners were, therefore, discharged for want Of
evidence.
Immediately after their discharge, Com
missioner McAllisier pointed to Them, and
declared that they were in charge of his off
GERS. The negroes were ilon handcuilrd in
open Courl, and conveyed to the Commits
sioner's office, where an examination was
held with closed doors.
The examination before the Commissioner
has resulted in the slaves being hnuded over
TO their claimants.
Great excitement has been 'cuused by this
procedure, but there has been no violation OF
law.-Irue Democrat.

THE CORPORATION.

Mn. WINS: Some Is months since The
oood citizens of Athens asked the County
Cour, TO grant it the privileges Of incorpo-
ration, which request was granted. Well,
it was incorporated and Its ordinances pub
lsbed 10 the four winds of Heaven, yea,
they were published in Gath and proclaim
ed in Askalon, and things went on pretty
we'll for a lew months, but la'terly teeY
have been ,rampIed under foot, anH no
more attention or respect is PAID 10 mem
than the old and .upersitious statutes that
used 10, in ancient times, disgrace aud
render odious the lawmakers Of Rome
What has brought about this lethargy
among the vigilant and enterprising Athe-
mans. They have not certainly come 10
the conclusion that the enforcement OF the
corporate authorities is useless and uncall"
ed for. Has our citizens become such or
der loving people that there is no cause Tor
prosecuting these laws? IF such is the
fact, must admit that there is happy
state OF affairs in and about our town. But
/ hear complaints that some Of the Alder"
men break the peace by knocking men in
the head with rocks; others OF them may
be distinguished by the enormous size OF
the wood piles IN the street fronting their
doors, while some will occasionally wink
a, quarrel or dispute between their neigh
bors. But this is hard for me TO believe,
because all corporations are provided with
a vigilant and energetic officer, who. Of
course, would bring such offences as have
enumerated above before the proper tribu.
nal. Misrepresentation and calumny al
ways follow, and is attendant upon justice.
and to check and keep 1t a. bay, would
that the enforcement of the ordi-
nances be attended to or if it is useless and
their entire aunulment would
not be out Of place. MENTO.

from letter from an intelligent young gen.
,lemen of Athens, now in Augusta, dated
Aug. %:
have had the pleasure of hearing the
Union candidates for Governor and Con-
gress speak since wrote you last, to.wil:
Honorables Howell Cobb and Robert
Tombs. They are both very forcible rea.
soners, and set toIih the principles Of the
Union party in this State, in the must ia

The latter, Mr., Tombs, is one of the best
orators | ever listened TO, and is decidedly
eloquent. His style reminds the more Of J
G.. Jones than any other public speaker |

and was very large and enthusiastic. The
Union Party, in my humble estimation,
will carry tins Stale by an overwhelming
majority. There IS considerable sympathy
exhibited in this city in behalf OF the Cuban
Patriots. There will he public demon
