ANOTEEER EUGITIVE CASE.

A man by the name of BoLDIHG has Just been
taken away from Poughkeepsie, charged with
being fugitive slave. The man has been living
in that place some four years; he was recently
married. and was intelligent and respectable
He was seized in bis own shop, and forced on
board of steamboat and carried to New YORK:
without having an opportunity to say goodbye
to his family before he went OIL
/ There he is brought before Commissioner.
The District Attorney, whose duty it was, did
not appear; but the friends of humanity saw
that he had efficient and faithful counsel. They
bring evidence that the man had Indian blood in
his veins, instead of African. And they bring
decisions Of Southern Courts to show that his
African maternity should be proved before ne
could be adjudged or sent. back as slave. But
the Commissioner, contemplate wretch. says
the affidavit of the claimant is satisfactory TO
him.
| Before he was removed ont of the city of New
York, however report arrives of the decision
of Judge Conkiin, of Buffalo, which showed that
the "act' was erpost (acto, and could not effect
those who had runaway previous to the passage
of the act.
By this decision the man wonld have been
| freed The counsel entreat of the Commission
err to reserve his certificate till full evidence of
the decision should arrive. He, however, stub
bornly refused to delay the mans surrender to
bondage until ne could have the decree of a con-
stitutional and responsible tribunal.
They then appealed to the magnanimity CD of
the claimants, Gust as though nigger-caichers
could be suspected OF having any of that com
modity) to wait until it could be decided wheth-
err the decision Of the Commissioner was just,
and in conformity with the law.
They Will not reply. Their object is to get
the victim ont of New York and into Carolina
law or no law. This thing they accomplished
although the amount claimed for him was raised
by the humane friends of the man.
Yet although the sum was large enough to
satisfy their price and cupdity, they said he
should be taken to Carolina first. They want
ed to hrowbeat the north a little, and let them
know the south must be obeyed that they arc
masters still.
But the less northern men say about the in
suit the better We have pocketed so many,
and have been 50 subscryient, we deserve them
all.
They demanded $1,000 for the value Of the
man, and $500 for the costs of retaining him
and the friends Of humanity paid it-and after

Summary OF Late News.

Our news from Nicaragua, by the Prometheus,
is interesting. We had thought thai We would
receive by this arrival intelligence of a battle
between the revoutionsss and the troops OF the old
govern ment. All we know, however, is that Munoz
was to have marched on Granada on the sixth of
September with the intention of taking that place.
By the next steamer from San Juan de Nicaragua,
We shall very likely hear the result Of this move
ment. Our correspondent at San Juan del Sur
gives interesting particulars of military at
tack upon house in that vcini y, for the purpose
of capturing an American named McLane.
Our advices from Belize, Honduras, are TO the
sixth of September, at which time all was quiet in
Central America. Previous accounts, purporting
TO come from that region, by the way of Mexico,
to the effect that battle sd taken place be-
tween the Guatenalan and Salvadorian armies, in
which the former were successful. We stated, at
the time this intelligence received, that it was
no doubt, revival Of an old story. Such appears
TO be the case.
The new clipper ship Flying Cloud has astonish-
ed every one by the remarkably short pass ige
which she made from this city to San Francisco
She acconplis he'd the distance in ninety days,
which is six days shorter than it was per-
formed in before. She would, no doubt, have done
still better, but that she sprung her mainm4st
when ten days at sea. The Samuel L. Fox,
other clipper, built in the United States, has
astonished the people of Van Dieman's Land by
her speed. She sailed 5,795 miles in the short
space Of overweight days; and so pleased were
the people Of that country with this extraordinary
performance, that they purchased her. 1t would be
ungenerous and unmanly, in any nation, to deny to
the United Stltes the supremacy Of the seas. We
have struggled for it, and have obtained it. Our
steamships, clipper ships and our yachts, have
been proved TO be the fastest in the world, AMI we
are fairly entitled to the honor.
The interesting ceremony Of the ordination OF a
mission airy for the Micronesan Islands, in the South
Sea, where the gospel never yet preached, took
place, last evening, at the Tabernacle. The mis-
sionary, Rev. L. H. Gulck, NJ ID is son Of one Of
the Sandwich Island Missionaries from this country,
and is a native Of Hawai-. He appears not to be
more than eighteen years Of age. IL was intended
TO crdan another missionary, r. Lobdel, NJ. d.,
for Kurdistan, a different region of the globe,
namely that where ancient Nineveh and Babylon
stood. In conse quence Of sudden illness he was IN.
able to attend. The medical profession is deemed
. most important acquisition to missionaries, both
~ regards the safety Of their lives amidst the
savages, and its favorable influence upon their
success.
