Extraordinary Developments.

Extraordinary Developments.-Events have
recently shown that plot OF a most extraordinary
nature has been long time in existence not far
away from our sister city of Covngton. For the
past fifteen years man living in Union, Boone
county kentucky, has had the reputation of
being a rabid abolitlonist, among his neghbors
from the fact that his frequent conduct has been
such as 10 lead to the belief that he favored and
lent his aid 10 the escape of snndry and various
slaves owned by the farmers in his region. On
one occasion he overheard TO say that he was
going TO aid in the escape of four negroes, (nan-
ing who they w ere,) that he was going TO furnish
them with 100 each and start them off to Canada
asserting, at the same time that the money pro-
vided for these slaves furnished from a fund
provided by society in Ohio Some people, for
some time past have suspected that all was not
right with this philanthropic individual, and re-
Gently sufficient testimony has been adduced 10
fasten the suspicion of kidnapping upon him.
To make the whole matter as brief as possible,
we will state that gentleman answering to the
name of L. j. Trundle, resident Of Union Boone
county, Ky, was, on Saturday last arrested
charged with kidnapping sundry and various
slaves owned by his neighbors. The charge is,
that he would arrange with the slaves 10 send
them to Canada, furnishing all the necessaries re-
quisite for the journey, and for their settlement al
ter they arrived there but that instead of forward
ing them TO that destination, he would have his
agents prepared take possession of and send them
New Orleans, where they would be sold. We
are informed by Mr.. Charles Kendrck, that the ex-
animation of the Doctor came off on Tuesday last,
at Union, before Judges Riley and Frazer; Gov.
Morehead and Messrs. Stevenson and Wall APP
pearing for the defendant Messrs. Benton, Kin
cad, and Menzies, for the prosecution. Al the
conclusion of the examination, the heavy bail of
S15500 was exacted for his appearance, in default
of which he committed TO Jail.
The affair has caused great deal of excitement,
we learn, and no little Indignation in that
nifty; in fact, to extreme pitch We're the people
incensed, that they threatened violence upon any
one who should go the Doctors bail. The trial Of
the case we believe, takes place in the court TO be
held in the ensuing month of October, when all
the developments attendant upon the will be
forthcoming.-C Cincinnati Enquirer

PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN

IL LITERARY MESSENGER for 1854 TWEEN
ueth volume. In issuing the prospectus of the
| twentieth volume of the Southern LiteraYy Mes-
seHger the proprietors beg TO assure the public
that no exertions will be RENTED on their part TO
maintain the high character of the work and TO

| periodicals OF America, in defence of the peculiar
institutions in the southern States. To this Office
il will still be devoted, and will be prompt TO re-
pei assaults upon the south, whether they come
under the specious garb of fiction, as in Uncle
Toms Cabin, or in the direct form of anti-slavery
pamphlets. AT this critical Juncture, while our
enemies are employing literature as their most po-
tent weapon of attack, the southern people will
| surely not withhold their encouragement from a
work whose aimt shall be 10 strike blows in their
defence.
The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its
readers with reviews, historical and biographical
| sketches, novels, tales, travels, essays, poems,
crtiques, and papers on the army, navy, and other
national subjects.

Desperate Fight with Fugitive slaves in


Carroll County.--We learn from the Westmin-
ster (Md.) Democrat, that on Thursday last four
runaway slaves, believed TO be from Harpers
Ferry, Virginia, were found 10 be concealed in a
barn at Taneytown, and that on Mr.. Jas. Burke,
constable, with posse, attempting TO seize one
of them, he fired double barrel pistol al them,
but fortunately Mr. B. was very close 10 him. and
escaped being killed by knocking his arm TO one
side, the load passing TO the right side of his head
and severely burning his face. desperate fight
then commenced, in which all the blacks partici-
pated, but there being about double the number of
whites, the slaves were at length taken.
The blacks were all armed with pistols and
large dirk knives, but could not use anything but
their pistols. Ii is said that they uhe slaves)
fired six or eight times. There were three white
men shot besides Mr. Bnrke--one in the breast,
one in the leg, and one in the arm--none of which
are thought TO be dangerous. Two OF the slaves
were shot, one in the left arm, which is very Sc
we're, and one along side ofthe head. Three ofthem
Were brought to Westminster and secured in Jail,
and the one that shot in the arm kept in
Taneytown in charge of physician, who dressed
the wound. The wound is very severe, as he re-
ceived the contents of loaded gun, the whole
load entering his arm just above the elbow.
