attempt to arrest Fugitiue SLAVES IN Ohio.
From the Sandusky Register


Our city was thrown into intense excitement
last evening, by an attempt to arrest two negro
men, two negro women, and several children, on
board the steamer Arrow, at the moment of her
departure for Detroit. Just before the boat left
the dock, the woman and her children were for
chilly dragged on shore and taken directly to the
office of F. M. Foet Mayor. by individual
claiming them, assisted by Mr.. Rice, the City
Marshal, who we presume, was deceived by his
title into the belief that his powers were co-exE
tensve with those of the United States Marshall
or one of his deputies.
The Mayors office was instantly filed bySa
crowd of anxious and excited spectators, among
whom were more than twenty blacks. A nam
Der of both blacks and whites had clubs in their
hands, and much confusion prevailed.
r. r. Sloane, Esq, was employed by the
colored persons of the city counsel for theal-
legged fugitives. After waiting nearly .hpfEana
hour for movement to be made by We Claim
ant, as provided under The FugitiveS Slave law,
Mr.. Sloan inquired if Mr.. Rice was ia tho room
After little delay Mr.. r. came forward, and, in
reply to an inquiry from Mr. Sloane to whetl-
or the women and children were in his cusfodyss
he said they were not. Mr.. S. then Inquired III

LATER FROM TEXAS.


BY the steamship Mexico we have files of our
Texas exchanges to the 23d inst.
1t was reported at Galveston that some cases of
yellow fever had appeared at Indianola. The
lndanola Bulletin of the 2lst says:
There appears to be tendency to bilious dis
eases along our coast Aside from the cases in
lndianola and Lavaca Of dangue, we hear cases
els where. The crews of several vessels at the
Pass have been sick of bilious disease, but have
far recovered as to go to sea again.
Inc western fosNs.- statea that a man named
Thomas Fowler lately lett IndanoIa for San An
tonic in charge of wagon loaded with goods
The goods were afterwards found scatteredon the
ground, near the Calavera's crossing, and Fowler
hanging dead to a tree. The only facts known in
the case are, that boy in the neighborhood saw
the cart descending hill near where it was
founl, the driver on horseback in the rear; the
oxen having no one to control or guide them run
the cart off the bank upsetting it that on seeing
this the rider rode off in the opposite direction,
aud it is supposed hung himself in consequence
of the accident. A coroner's inquest was held
and a verdict returned in accordance with the
above facts.

met at Syracuse June 10, and ballot was taken
for Delegates. Henry Fitzhugh tScott) received
10 votes and Thomas H. Bond (Fillmore) 10, the

the evils which they anticipate from
the prevalence of Chinese competition.
Meetings have been held at the Most
important points--vehement resolutions
passed--and a determination shown to
exclude all Cinnamon from a chance at
the diggings. The proceedings, for the
most part, have been conducted in an order
" manner, the claims of the Chinese hav-
ing been cold at auction, and the avails
handed over to the owners, with An I'M
mistakable hint to make speedy tracks.
This state of public opinion at the mines
has not been without effect. The Chinese
show little disposition to resist the current,
but are rather disposed to retire before its
pressure. A timid and peaceable genera
ton, they are not prepared to brave the
wrath of the Sacramento diggers. 1t ap-
pears that they have dispatched circular
to their countrymen at home, informing
them of the excitement that prevails, and
dissuading them from further emigration at
present. This may produce something
serious on the part of the Chinese Govern
ment in relation to the American residents
in China, although it is probable the diff
culties will be settled without retaliasory
measures. There is room enough in Cali
fornia for all the Chinese who wish to emil
CRATE. The present excitement cannot last
long, as it is alike contrary to the spirit OF
California enterprise, and the most enlight-
encd public opinion. "Live and let live"
is the true motto and it is as certain as the
DEGREES of fate, that no permanent monopoly
can be established among the placers. At
all events, the number of Cinnamon in
California is not such as to warrant con-
ste,nation. According to careful estimates,
it does not exceed 10000, which is not
large proportion, compared with other
foreign elements in the population.

found to possess considerable interest. Our
accounts of the Quartz Mining operations
continue to be of an encouraging character,
and show that by the introduction of eff
cient machinery, the harvest of gold will
not only be preserved, but will receive
large increase, more than supplying the
loss occasioned by the gradual exhaustion
of the placers. The principal topic of
interest by the present arrival is the ex-
