Fearful Tragedy,

Our exchanges confirm the tele-
graphic account received several days
since, of the tragedy at. Christiana,
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania
The circumstances are briefly as fol-
lows: A Mr.. Gorsuch, a citizen of
Maryland, and his son, were in pur-
suit Of several fugitive slaves belong
ing to the elder Gorsuch, and having
learned where they were located, pro-
eeeded in company with Che deputy
Marshal to arrestthem. The negroes
it seemed had received notice Of their
masters movements and we're pre-
pared to resist. When the company
in pursu lit arrived on the ground they
found IL lat the fugitives, in company
with ma ny of their colored friends,
we're in possession of a building from
which they Immediately commenced
firing. The elder Gorsuch was
killed by a shot fired by one of the
fugitiye$, and his son was badly
wounded by another. Several Others
of the pprsuingparty werealso wound
ed. The negroes we're also fired upon
and som e are known to have been
wounded, and perhaps mortally. :
The Governor has issued his proc
lamation, offering $1,000 reward fol
the arrest of the murderers, and some
arrests have already been made.

.SAowers Of Flesh al lBeni.cia, call.
fornia.-On Saturday, the goth ult
shower of meat fell at the army
station near Benicia. It was first
observed by Major Allen, who was
struck by one of the falling pieces.
The shower lasted two or three min
utes. The pieces we're from the size
Of apigeon's egg up to that of an
orange--the heaviest perhaps weighed
three ounces. No birds were visible
in the air at the time. Specimens
of this meat, which is apparently
beef were preserved by Major Allen
and the surgeon of the post.
A piece that was examined three
hours after it fell showed a portion
of a small blood vessel, some of the
sheath of muscle and muscular fibre.
It was slightly tainted. The ground
on which the shower fell was about
300 yards long and so wide, and the
entire amount of meat between two
and a half and five bushels in bulk. |
No pieces of bone we're found. A
strong wind from the west was blow
ng at the time, and the skies were
lear. This is the third occurrence
# the kind on record in the last six
'ears.

publish to-day the proceedings O.
two meetings Of cotton planters held
in Maconscounty- The principal OBJ
ject' of these meetings seems to be,
to adopt measures to ascertain the
extent Of the present crop of cotton,
and to secure representation in the
Planters Convention at Macon, Ga,
in October next.
We are pleased to see the planters
moving in this matter. They have
been too much in the habit heretofore
of submitting their interests to the
custody of those who do not pro-
duce but speculate in cotton. They
are certainly as intelligent as any
other body Of men in our country;
and engaged.as they are in the pro-
duction of a staple in which the
whole world are vitality interested, it
becomes them to adopt measures

RESOURCES OF VIRGINIA.-The re-
port Of the committee appointed by
the mercantile convention which re-
Gently met in Richmond is published
in the papers of that city-the OBJ
ject being to show the ability of Vir.
ginia to maintain a direct trade by
steamers with Europe and South
America.
The report gives some interesting
statistics. The trade on the James
river and Kanawha canal for the last
year reached in value an aggregate Of
S6,l35,065 from the interior, and OF
s., 727,224 of merchandise and
goods carried into the INTERIOR
The business of the Central railroad
has doubled within the year. The
inspections of Virginia tobacco a.
mount to $4,000 hogsheads, ofwhich
the larger portions is shipped to
Europe, whilst the remainder, with
a large amount not inspected, is
manufactured in the State for con-
sumption at home and abroad.
The tonnage employed in the di-
rect foreign trade between Europe
and THE waters of James river
amounts to nearly $4,000 tons.
There are now compile ted in Y ir-
ginia 565 miles Of railroad and 468
miles of canals, aud there arc in
course of construction $50 miles of
railroad and 220 miles of plank
road. The appropriations for those
works are already made and the
money has been almost entirely
raised at home without the necessity
of mourning a foreign debt.

you Of the prospects Of the crops
here, and to add other items of inte-
rest CT Importance, from special and
domestic engagements. The drouth
this year has been partial; in some
places only 10 or u miles in extent,
and mostly on the ridges, while the
seasons were good along the streams.
The previous yigor of the crops en-
abled them to withstand the drouth
where it only lasted six weeks, but
where it endured for.two months the
crops diminished to one-half or two
thirds of an average, and where it
continued three months they we're re-
dueed to one-fourth or spoiled. This
irTegularity Of the seasons extended
quite over the southwest, from the
Potomac river to the Del Ncrte.-
Corn will be sufficient here for ordinary
consumption, and more plenty than
last year; but the rains after the
drouth have occasioned cotton, which
was of small growth and stinted, te
she'd its SIN all hollis nd squares, Sc
as to reduce the crop to one-half Oh
one-third where the drd nth prevailed
The allies or dupes of northern
federalists ard fanatics, who are in Sc
cret alliance with the aristocracy o
England, seem to prefer a credulou'
dependence on wealth and nobility, t.
a reliance on their own energies, ca
pacity and exertions, to protect anC
defend their rights and property.x
The policy to reduce the wages Of la
Dor below the cost Of slave labor, o.
Of board and raiment, is doubles
fallacious and false, and also iniqui
tous and wicked. It only convert
bondage into vassalage, or change
the slave into a serG vassal, or pau
per, by the introduction Of povert,
and beggary, as public charge
The true remedy for a dense and su
perauous population, is emigration
land colonization. 40 other has we
been discovered in the history 0
man. It may be reduced by war
pestilence, famine and celibacy; bu
such remedies are as intolerable ans
monstrous, is the difficulty which
they would remove.
Henry Clay appears to be in cor
respondence with his old friends, The
British agents of abolition, or such a;
now act in its behalf in Jamaica
island. His letter Of the 10th O
May last, 10 Hankey, encourages the
rescue and transfer of fugitive slave:
from the United States and from
Canada, to the coast of Honduras il
Central America. The federalists
made similar feathers and down and
hair and fur ly about resistance te
theIalien and sedition laws in 1893
9, TIL Jefferson's election as Presi-
dent -stigmatising it as notification
disunion and treason, as they now dc
about resistance to the compromisory
plumber and delusion pf 1850; to the
abolition Of a provisip n of the con-
stitution,- ard of slavery without re-
enumeration; and to the mad crusade
in a career of stea lth by federal IA
ma icism.
When the people are placed in a
false position, the cause may gene
rally be traced to betrayal or in
competency, and often both, of their
leaders. AS with Hull's army at
Detr oit, and Georgy's army in Hun
gary. so it was in New England under
the advocacy, by Hamilton and Ad-
ans, Of an irrepublican and therefore,
Legitimate form of government for
the republic.
