THE WORST FEATURE OF KDNAPPrNG.-We
find the following statement in the Cleveland
Herald Of the Goth ult. 1t speaks for itself:
Yesterday, when the cars arrived at Salem, in
Columbiana county, from Pittsburgh, crowd
had gathered at the depot, q dispatch from Pitts
burgh having informed them that slave girl
was on board under charge of her master and
mistress. When the cars stopped big negro
stepped into them, and accosting the girl, asked
her if she was slave She made no reply, but
her mistress answered that she was. Thereupon
the black rufian seized her, and she clinging to
her mistress neck, begged most piteously not to
be torn away but the black fellow violently
tore her away, and in the effort bruised the
lady's neck severely, and carried the child out
of the car on one arm, and fourished revolver
in the other hand, amid the plaudits of the ex-
cited crowd
The master of the child was not just then in
the car, and upon hearing Of the rescue, offered
to 60 before any officer and execute free papers,
if the girl wished to be free, leaving the matter
to the girl, But the mob would listen to no such
thing. The child's screams were heard above
the tumult, 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
to carry grief to the mother of the child
This is an outrage, and the people of Column
biana owe it to themselves to wipe out this stain.
That long haired, brainless G. G. Burleigh, was
on hand, and made an harangue to the crowd.

IR1sHMEN's Civil AND MILITARY REPUBLICAN
UNIoN--A regular and numerously attended
meeting Of this organization was held at Vaux-
hall last evening, President Molloy in the chair.
The meeting was addressed by Mr.. Masterton,
DR.. O'Hanlon, Counsellor KERN and others
The gist of their remarks was the necessity of
prompt and speedy action in the cause Of Irish
emancipation. DR.. 0'Hanlon said, aside from
all parties and creeds, the most fitting leader
for the Association was John Mitchell,
The meeting concluded with an address from
the President, urging such as had not enrolled
their names to show their patriotism by coming
forward, contributing one dollar, and enrolling
themselves in the legion of freedom. If they
did this they would speedily be taught the use
of arms, and then if they did not like to go to
the lengths contemplated by the organization,
they would be at liberty to back out, He said
it would be suicidal to the association were he
to divulge its means and aims in public, but
once the name of an individual was signed and
his dollar deposited, then the objects and means
would be disclosed.
The address was listened to with much atten-
ton but either nearly all present were MEM
bers, or exceedingly apathetic, for but a very
few awaited themselves of the chairman's inyi-
tation. IN. Y. Tribune, LIST. .-=.
