Clark Warren, Deputy Marshal, ordered him to
desist, and, fearing the "cane," he did so, and
she went on board. A stout negro then stepped
forward and said, "you are an officer of the law,
this is the law OF the land, but there is law or
God" "Yes," replied Clark, sand if you don't
leave this spot, you'll feel the grace of God over

the good sense to prefer the guardianship Of
those who had always been kind, to the cold
charities Of those whose professions would fur

a Boston correspondent of the New York
Herald thus frankly admits the farce which is
now playing in that "loyal" city, in mockery OF
justice and law. Any sop, it seems, is deemed
good enough to stop the mouths Of Southern
"acquiescents:"
The trials Of the persons charged with having
reduced the "higher law" to practice, by the
rescue Of Shadrach, are regarded here ms being
neither more nor less than jokes, and too dull to
be laughed at The inability of the jury TO
agree in the case of Scott, which is said to be
the worst of the entire batch, is supposed to in
dictate what will be the final result Of the affair
Ia legal farce. The jury was equally divided
--.six for convicsion and six for acquitta Now,
If there be any merit in hejuste milieu, so much
admired by some people, our jury are entitled
to praise, for they hit the mark exactly in the
white, and so happily that they did nothing at
all. Uncle Sam viii get his purse pretty well
emptied by these trials; and that will be the

BY Friday morning the water had risen several
inches, and every exertion was made to, secure
the grain and other property from any injury
that might result from the continuation OF the
rise. The water, however, rose so rapidly as to
cause the destruction of large quantities Of por-
duce. Many of those suffering from the effects
of the flood are farmers who had grain stored
here in sheds, and who, in spite of every exer-
ton have sustained heavy losses.
Throughout the whole of Saturday, the work
of salvage was carried on with renewed activity.
During the evening and night the river com.

heavy thunder storm roaring and crashing around

We can add our own testimony to the value

usual remedies we have also seen in the five
years, its wonderful benefit in many other cases;
