Among the appointees recently made by the
President by the advice and consent Of the
Senate, is Mr.. James Tilton as surveyor gene
raj for the Territory ofWashington,
The Madison (Ind.) Daily Banner, thus
speaks Of the appointment:
"The unanimous appreciation Of this com.
munity in which Mr.. Tilton was reared, would
heartily ratify this appointment if its opinion
could be taken. The only possible objection
to IL would be that the duties Of the Office will
transfer our very respected fellow-citizen to a
new and distant scene Of operations, and sever
the associations which he has always here SO
warmly attracted to himself We say this is a
really excellent appointment
"Mr. TiIton's accomplishments as . civil en-.
gineer are known to be of the highest order,
and OF tho most promising character. His
qualifications, therefore, are Of the most iaeri.

Disgraccful Rescue at salem, Ohio.

We are no apologsts for slavery, but at The
same time We despse rodyism and blackguardism
when used by fanatics in their rash and illegal ef-
forts TO carry out their mistaken notions Of phian
thropy.
Yesterday, when the cars arrived al Salem, IN
Columbiana county, from Pittsburg. crowd had
gathered at The depot, dispatch from Pittsburg
having informed them that slave girl was on
board under the charge of her master and mistress.
When the cars stopped big negro stepped into
| them, and accosling the girl, asked il she was
slave. She made no reply, but her mistress an
swered that she was. Thereupon the black ruff
fan seized her. and she clinging 10 her mlstress's
neck, begged most piteously not 10 be torn away
but The black fellow violently tore her away, and
in the effort bruised the ady's neck severely, and
carried the child out of the car on one arm, and
fourished a revolver in the other hand, amid the
plaudts of the excited crowd
The master OF the child was not Just then in the
car, and upon hearing Of the rescue, offered 10 go
before any officer and execute free papers, II the
girl wished TO be free, leaving the matter TO the
girl. But the mob would listen 10 no such thing.
The chids screams were heard above the tumut,
begging TO go back, so that she could again see
her mother, who belongs TO the same owner.
The life OF The owner was threatened, and he
dare not remain over, but went on in the cars 10
carry grief TO the mother OF the girl.
Ths is an outrage, and the people of Column
biana owe il TO themselves TO wipe out this stain
That long haired, brainless c. C. Bureigb, was
on hand, and made an harranguo TO the crowd.
[Clereland Herald, Augna 30.
Since the above was put in type, we have
been shown letter from resident of New
Lisbon, Ohio, to gentleman in this city from
which we are permitted to give the following
extract:
"There was tremendous excitement in
Salem, Columbana county, on yesterday. The
inhabitants of Salem were informed by tele.
graph from Pittsburg, of the fact that a gentle
man and lady were homewards bound to Ten
nessee, with servant along. This servant
was about fourteen years OF age, and was
present from the lady's mother in North Caro-
lima, where they had been on visit The
parents of the servant were slaves in Tonnes
see. Upon the arrival of the cars from the east,
gentleman, who resided ear Salem, entered
the cars and inquired if the girl was slave.
The reply was very natural one that it was
none Of his BUSINESS in a moment large
strapping darkey entered the cars, seized the
girl and dragged her out she crying murder,
not knowing what they were going to do with
her, and moved her off. 1t is said there were
near one thousand persons present, many of
them negroes, armed with revolvers, knives,
clubs, and stones, and surrounded the girl as
the cars started. The crowd cheered and fired
a volley from their revolvers. This is the be-
ginning the end is not YET God save our
country from the evils of the curse which is
now gendering so much i'll feeling"
Such al outrage is toe fragrant to call for
comment.

The CoWs.-The dry weather is serious
matter 10 The cows, which depend for subsistence
on the grass of tie common lands in and around
Washington II is distressing 10 see those peace
ful animals snubbiag the short scorched grass, in
the hot sun, during this trying season. We trust
that the owners will remember that il is their duty
well their interest TO provide additional food
Tor those serviceable creatures Ii may not be
generally known that COW, after feeding all day
on whatever she can fild on the uGgraded streets
and unoceupied lots Of the city, returns home
punclualiy at certain hour. As soon as ste ap.
proaches the residence Of her owner, she says, in
a besceching tone, moooo,' which, being inter
preted, means, please open the gate !" and when
the gate is opened, in she walks with ali the
q stately majesty" Of = COW. Afterye!ding her
collected nectar, she relres, ehews the cud until
dark, when she reposes until daybreak, aud again
returns TO her home 10 offer the result finer nights
recreation.
Persons who viii allow such faithful animals TO
want for food, do not deserve the bounty which
cows SO regularly bestow upon them TO the extent
Of their ability.
