CHARGE OF ABDUcTIoN.-A young
man who gave his name as s. NJ Sut-
life, and stated that he was resident
of Forestville, Connecticut, was COM
mitted by the mayor, yesterday, on a
charge of attempting toabduct young
lady, native of Franklin, in the parish
of st. Mary's, Louisiana, for the pur-
pose, it is alleged, of placing her in a
house of ill-repute, in Philadelphia
The Young lady alluded to is scarcely
seventeen years of age, and the daugh-
ter of highly respectable parents-her
father being editor and proprietor of a
very influential Southern publication
She met with the defendant some time
ago at Franklin, where he attended a
store, and the parties being mutually
pleased with each other, an attachment
sprung up between them. Shortly af-
ter this meeting, the young lady and
her sister were sent to a seminary in
Licking county, Ohio, to finish their
education. Sutliffe followed them thith-
er, and by promising the girl that he
would marry her Immediately, and rep
resenting to the proprietor of the insti-
tutidA that he had been deputed by her
father to take the lady to the east for the
benefit of her health, he induced the
foolish girl TO leave the establishment
and accompany him to this city. From
the treatment which she received at his
hands on the road, and the strange man.
ner in which he conducted himself here,
it became evident to the lady that his
intentions were not honorable, so she
resolved to tear herself from him, and
for this purpose applied to Mr.. Rely,
proprietor of the hotel at which they
were stopping, for his protection. This
gentleman at once interfered, and on
Sutliffe attempting to take the girl from
the house, he had him arrested. The
mayor, after hearing the case, desired
the prisoner to leave the city in six
hours, or he should send him up as a
vagrant, but taking no notice of the or
der, he was again arrested, and in de-
fault of $4,000, committed as above
stated. The prisoner is dashing look
ing young man, and maintains that his
towards the girl were purely
honorable. He exhibited letters from
various firms in Philadelphia, and de-
clares that his arrest is an unjustifiable
act, and one which he will not fail to
resent when he regains his liberty. The
young lady is still at Mr.. Reily's; she
will be sent back to the seminary to-day,
a wiser if not better girl than when
she left it.

wATERMEN's STRIKE.

WHEREAS the price for hauling
w water in Gallipolis has always
been and IS now much lower than is
charged at other towns on the river
and as the prices Of everything necessa-

have nearly doubled. rendering it i'm
possible for US to make anything at the
present prices, we have concluded to
haul water for no one under eight and
one-tlird cents per barrel. Our motto
being "live and let lve." we bind our
selves to comply with and be governed
by this price in future.

EE-0ur abolition neighbor refuses to
give the names of those to whom he
read upon the public streets the Porter
abolition communication concerning us,
but says he believes they were all white.
1t is merely an expression of opinion,
however, and as an aboiitionists opin-
ion goes far to equalize the whites and
blacks, his opinion will go but little
ways with an intelligent community.
We have seen negroes much whittier than
our neighbOr. and of far better princi-
ple. in whom no traces of the African
could be seen, except in the heel, and
this is not always sure test, as our
neighbor is fully developed in this res
pect, and it is rather mixed question
with us if he is altogether simon pure
at least his acts go far to carry out the
projection of the heel. We are not
surprised at his refusal to give the
names of those men, for it would open
the eyes of both Wings and Democrats
to the object had in view in showing
this abolition document. The swipe he
gave the abolitionists across the shins
as a blind to the Wings and Democrats,
was rather more than they could bear,
consequently he has lost their conf
dence, and the blind was too fimsey
for the others to not see. through.
Now since our neighbor has barked
the shins of his abolition friends, we
should not be surprised if his Porter
friend would send us the private cores
pondence that passed between them,
during their harmony, for publication.
1t would be rich treat for all parties,
besides it would be no breach of faith
for an abolitionist TO expose private cor

r.; DEATH OF Rev. w. z. BUELL.-We
learn by the last Presbyterian Herald
that WILLIAM PLUMER BUELL. died al
New Castle, Hardeman county, Tenn,
on the 1st ult. The deceased was a
native of Marietta, Ohio, and brother
of Mrs. DR.. HEBARD of this town. II
WILDE remembered. that he gave few
very interesting lectures in the Presby-
terian church Of this place, about three
years since, on the manners and Gus
toms of the Chinese. He was a mis-
sionary to Siam, where he devoted five
years of his life to outstanding the
gentiles, but his wife being suddenly
smitten with paralysis, he was compell-
ed to return to his native country. The
immediate cause of his death was apo
plexy. He was about 40 years of age.
We make the following extract from a
lengthy article in the Herald, in regard
to the death of this good man. The
crowded state of our columns alone
prevents us from giving the whole arti-
Gle:
1t may be truly said, that he possess
ed qualifications of no ordinary charac
ter in regard to the great work for
which he lived, and in which he died.
His mind was so constituted as to be
one of peculiar ardor, resolution and
determination. 1t was capable of in
tense feeling, and led him to make any
sacrifice to which his sense of duty
might impel him. His heart was the
seat of great tenderness and affection.
If at times, it had too much sensibillity
under certain trials, it was at the same
time, so charitable, and had become so
well diciplined in the true providence of
God, that no agitations, under any cir
cumstances, could long disturb, either
its quietude or equanimity.
His trials and sorrows were all taken
to a throne of grace, before which he
delighted habitually to bow. He
was remarkably conversant with his
Bible and loved to preach its doctrines,
to enforce its precepts and to proclaim
Its promises. He was frank and cor
dial, and sincere in his intercourse with
his people, and with his brethren in the
ministry, As husband and father,
none were ever more considerate, de-
voted or affectionate. To his helpless
partner, he was as ministering angel,
bearing her often, as an infant in his
arms, and by his constantly assiduous
and affectionate attentions, endeavoring
to do all he could for her comfort and
happiness. May God now be her sup
port and comfort in the saddest of all
bereavements, which could have befal-
len her in this changing and dying world.
And may He now be Father indeed,
to her two dear fatherless children
The last illness of our late brother was
short. A neuralgia affection had afflict-
ed him for some weeks, but a sudden
stroke Of apoplexy interviewed, and rem
dered him speechless the last twenty
hours of his life. His work, however,
was done, and hehad nothing to do, but
