AKREsr or WHuE BoT USDER THE fUoI-
TIVE SLAVE LAw.-In the U. S. Commission
er's Office, New York, on the 10th instant, Mr..
Commissioner scoyill gave his decision in the
case Of Henry Stephenson, who had been an
indenturvd apprentice 10 Mr.. Felt Of New Jer-
sey, 10 learn the art and mystery Of boOkbrnd
izs. !: appears ths. after serving some time
Stephenson left the service Of Mr. Felt and
escaped to New York, where he was taken un-
der the act Of Congress, known as the fugitive
slave law. The Courier and Enquirer says
The only question in the case was whether
the fugitive had served out the term Of his ap-
premiership, or, in the records of the act Of
Congress, whether he still owed service to Mr..
Felt, citizen Of another State The Commits
sioner decided that the fugitive must be given
up and taken back to New Jersey. Strange as
it may appear the case excited no turmoil.
The court room was nearly empty, and neith-
er the military nor the police had to be called
out If it had been black fugitive, then it
would have been another matter.

ToEEADo.-The following further particu-
lars Of the recent tornado, apPeaS in The Yieks-
burg Whig:
aWe learn from passengers up on the South
ern Belle, that on Monday about ~ o'clock
there was a fearful tornado in the vicinity Of
Grand Gull. The Belle was about ten miles
below Grand Guf-she is a new and stauneh
built boat but the storm was so violent that
great apprehension was felt by those on board
for her safety. AT one time she was blown
aground and nearly capsized. The chimneys
OF the steamer Eastport were blown down, and it
was thought that the vessel, at one time, was
in great peril The whar-boat at Grand Gulf
was completely demolished, and several build
ings in the town blown down. Mr.. Luther,
the telegraph operator at Grand Gulf was
crushed by the fall of the whaf-boat, whilst
sitting at dinner, and died a short time there
after. Mr. Keith, in the employ of Mr.. ]. II.
Crump, was also severely injured at the same
time, and it is supposed is now dead. Seve-
raj other persons were badly injured, and one
man is reported missing. As the telegraph
line below is broken down We can get no la
ter news or details, but from the reports given
us, it must have been terrible hurricane, and
may have extended down the river some dis
tanee ifso we may yet hear Of great devasta-
ton. Natchez has been severely scourged by
tornadoes, but we hope that the recent one
did not extend so far down.

E1- The rush of office-seekers at Washin,

EI The rush of ofIice-seekers at Washing
ton is greater than has been known at any
antecedent commencement of a new Admins
tration. This is not only remarkable in the
number of seekers for clerkship and inferior
offices, but in the usual throng of candidates
for those stations although not the highest,
yet are generally sought and filled by men
above the average capacity and character
This is feature of our republican system
which is calculated to diminish the respect of
the world for our political institutions 1t
enhances the discredit when the wide field and
ample remuneration in the United States for
intellectual labor, or that which is superior to
mere physical exertion, is considered. Delta.

BEHIND THE TInEs.-The Alton (Ill.) Tele-
graph gives the following account Of Western
travel, which somewhat exceeds the perplexi-
ties encountered on our roads;
The stage came in yesterday in adeplora-
bic fix from Jacksonville. The body and hind
wheels were left behind, perhaps in some mud
dy hole up the country opposite some anti
railroad mans door. Upon the front axle
tree was lashed crockery crate, which con-
tained the Jehu, his mails and three passen-
gers. The whole concern looked as though
il had searched the bottom Of avery quagmire,
in the country and brought away sample Of
its compost and fertilising qualities.

Eg They must have business set of men
in the Louisiana Legislature. Notice the fol-
lowing from the Daily Comet of late date:
The Legislature done nothing yesterday
there was not quorum in the morning when
they met. We do not suppose, as to-day is
Saturday. that anything will be done until
Monday, when the members will all have re-
turned from " "refreshment" and will pull off
their coats and go to work with the alacrity for
which they are getting world wide renown.

LOUISIANA LEeIsLATURE.-We learn from
the Free Trader that this body on the 21st
inst, passed bill for districting the State in
to judicial districts and on same day bill
was made the order of the day for Wednes-
day to take into consideration the propriety
of rechartering the Mechanics and Traders
Bank. On the 22d Mr.. Nixon of the House
handed in memorial to be presented to Con-
gress condemning the course of Mr. Fillmore
which was referred to a special committee Of
seven, who returned the same with preamble
and after much discussion it was passed. A
bill was also passed for the reclamation Of
swamp lands.

PARTITION OF FLoRIDA.-The geographical
position Of Florida is somewhat inconvenient
and divides the State into local parties, the
interests Of the west being different from those
of the peninsula. A proposition has been
made to give the western part of the State
as the Chattahoochee, to Alabama, the north.
ern portion of Middle Florida, to Georgia
and to erect the southern or peninsula portion
into State.

The LycEuM, was attended on Wednesday
evening last, by very respectable audience
The question discusssed--"Capital Punish.
mentn-though hackneyed, trite and state
was invested with much interest by the logic
and eloquence of the disputants Wm. T.
Lewis, Esq, jun, battled singe-handed against
the barbarous custom Of hanging, and to our
mind, made not only pretty, but forciblc
speech. lie assumed almost all the accessible
grounds against the practice, and maintained
them with dignity and ability.
The negative also did well. c. S. Kellogg,
Esq, is a youngm of fine requirements, and
always knows where to put his fingers on
good authorities. DR.. Baldwin, came to his
assistance, and made a handsome speech
The negative was sustained by the audience.
Perhaps it would be as well here, to remark
that, Wilkinson county was the first to move,
and an executive from this county-Gov. Gar
rard C. Brandon--was the first Governor Of
this State, to recommend in message TO the
Legislature, the establishments of the peniten-
tiary system, and the abrogation of Capital
Punishment SO far as related to white persons.
Indeed, so strong was the demonstration a.
cainst capital punishmentin the term ofthat ex-
oelleni officer, that subsequently, public execu-
tons were prohibited, and victims were ordered
to be hung in prirate. II struck us as being
a bright example for crime dcers, TO take a man
out Of their sight and hang him II must
effect them greatly.
But the questions settled, a change has
come over the spirit Of our peoples dreams.

How TO ACQUIRE HIGH HEALTH.-Walk-
er, in his "Original," lays down the following
rules for attaining high health. They are
worth remembering, particularly his advice
to wives and husband:
First study to acquire a composure of mind
and body. Avoid agitation of one or the
other, especially just before and after meals,
and while the process of digestion is going
on. To this end govern your temper, endeav-
oring to look at the bri ght side of things,
keep down as much as possible the unrnly
passions, discard envy, hatred and malice, and
lay your head upon your pillow in charity
with all mankind. Let not your wants out
run your means. Whatever difficulties you
have to encounter, be not perplexed but only
think what is right to do in the sight of Him
who seeth all things, and bear, without re-
pining, the results. When your meals are
solitary let your thoughts be cheerful; when
they are social, which is better, avoid dis
putes or arguments on unpleasant TOPICS
"Unquiet meals" says Shakespeare, snake
ill digestion )" and the contrary is produced
by easy conversation, a pleasant project well
come news, or lively companion. advise
wives not to entertain their husbands with
domestic grievances about children and ser
wants, nor to ask for money, nor produce any
unpaid bills, nor PROFOUND unreasonable ques-
tions; and | advise husbands to keep the
cares and vexations of the world to them
selves, but to be communicative of whatever
is comfortable, cheerful, and amusing.
