81 an exciting scene which occurred in the
Abolition city Of Brooklyn. on the previous

Ciergyman- Ali the negroes, adolitonists
and anti.fugitive sIave.lawites we've around
at once, and the "poor boys" engrossed the at
sention of all Brooklyn for the last twenty
four hours: The underground railroad was
put in order ct once and an attempt made to
run the fugitives off--not TO Canada--but to
the Alma House. Don't be in a hurry, reader;
you have not heard all yet. The two yellow
boys were not from down South, nor were
they born slaves. No, they were born az free

The Great Race.

The Eclipse left New Orleans last
Saturday morning, minutes past 10 o.
clock, with no freight. but large lot of pas
sengers, whom. it is understood, she charged
from ses enty-fye to one hundred dollars each
for passage to Louisville. She went down
prepared to make quick trip up, by strip
ping herself Of every article Of extra weight
that could be spared. Her wooding arrange
ments were complete. An agent was sent
down in advance to make the necessary pre-
partitions. IL understood that two small
steamers are lying at Red River, laden with
pine knots, awaiting her.
The A. L. ShotwelI, another magnificent
steamer, but net costing near SO much as the
Eclipse, also went down stripped for race,
and has doubtless made complete arrange
ments for wooding She is aiming for COM
petition with the Eclipse in point Of speed.
If no accident occur, they will make the two
quickest trips on record, beyond Doubt
There appears to be great excitement all
along the coast, and doubtless heavy bets are
being made
