Fugitive Slave Excitement,

!BosroN, Sept. 81.
The Bath (Me.) Mirror Of Sept. 20, states
that there has been some excitement in that
city, relative to fugitive slave on board the
barque Franklin, at that port, from jackson
vile.
The barque put into Holmes Hole on the
18th, and the captain gave notice at the Gus
tom House that he had fugitive slave on
board, and the authorities at Washington also,
whereupOn the revenue cutter Caleb Cusl.ing
appeared at Bath harbor, and remained there
until Tuesday morning. She disappeared
soon afterwards, when the barque passed up
the River.
The crew of the barque state that the slave
escaped while the vessel was lying at Holmes
Hole.
When she arrived at the port of Bath, II
citizens, including a member of the Boston
vigilance committee, boarded her, determined
to have the slave at all hazards, but he could
not be found.
At the stated meeting of the North Baptist
Church in this city, to-day,a letter from the
Twelfth African Church was read, which sta
ted that the Church had lost many of its old
members, who had fed from the city, alarmed
at the rendition of Anthony Burns back to
bondage.

The cypress train on the Cincinnati, Ham
hton and Dayton Railway uhder the COM
mand Of eonduetor Whitney, rs it was ap-
preaching the Sixth street depot, yesterday
morning, met with an accident, by which 80
persons were injured-one MORALLY. The &C.
cident occurred about two squares from the de-
pot, and was Occasioned by switch-rod
breaking, in consequence Of an imperfection 10
the iron.
The train consisted of locomotive. with A
tender, baggage car, and three passenger cars
attached. When the rod broke, the track nee
essarily shifted, and threw two passenger cara
down walled embankment of ten feet. into
the Whitewater canal. One of the cars was
turned completely bottom upward, and ths
other was thrown on its side. The locomo-
tive, tender, baggage car, and the hindmost
passenger car remained on the track, the con-
nection having broken. Notwithstanding
there were about eighty passengers on the
train, there is but one death to record, that of
little son Of Henry F. Moore, No. % John
street. His left leg was severed from his body
and other injuries were received, from which
he died during the day.
About thirty persons were wounded, many
Of them badly.
A number of physicians were on the ground
as quickly as possible after the disaster, and
rendered what aid they could in relieving the
sufferers.

Later from the Plains.

A gentleman has arrived at St. Louis from
trip across the plains. In coming from Salt
Lake City, as late as the Sd of June, he en-
countered snow in the mountains ten feet in
depth.
Rains had been abundant, and there was less
necessity for irrigation this season than usual.
On the plains there was great scarcity of
water.
Many Mormons were going out, and some
few returning. One train had suffered loss
of one hundred and fifteen head of cattle, which
were stampeded off by the buffaloes
The settlements all along were prosperous
and Furnishing. The Mormon emigration is
unusually large.
The Indians seemed we'll disposed towards
the whites, but they are fighting among them
selves.

Cholera Increasing.

The Pittsburgh Post Of the 10th has the
following:
There seems to have been less d at me It of
the cholera during Sunday and MONDAY tlan
was expected, from the favorable turn it had
taken on Saturday. The sudden cha ge of
the atmosphere from the cooling breczes and
pleasant weather of Saturday, to the hot and
snltry Stiffness Of Sunday, Immediately caused
a slight increase in the number of cases, al
though not materially adding to the Deaths
Yesterday slight falling off was perceivable
in the number of persons attaeted-which ia
vorable symptom, however, was more than
counnterbalanced by an increase in the fatal
cases.
BY order Of the Mayor and Board of
Health, fires were kindled in the streets of the
city during Sunday night, and kept up all day
yesterday and last night; and other precau-
tionary measures adopted as were deemed best
under the circumstances. Nearly all the dirty
alleys and courts have been cleaned out; or
are being eleansed, with lime spread literally
over all.

The Minneapolis Land office.

We regret to have heard insinuations
thrown out intimating that the Register of
the Land Office at Minneapolis, has dis
position to prevent the Lands in that Dis
trict being brought into market at as early
a day as possible. A greater injustice
could not be done that gentleman Since his
appointment, he has been unceasing in his
efforts to procure the necessary books, &C.,
to enable him, at once to open that Office,
yet, up to Thursday night his efforts have
been unavailing.
On the 4th inst, Mr.. OLps addressed to
the Commissioner of the General Land Of.
flee, Hon JNo. WILSON letter on the
subject, from copy Of which We have been
permitted to make the following extract:
"Will you be pleased to inform US whether
the act of 1874, in relation to entering town
sites applies to the Military Reserve? And,
also, what course we shall pursue in case the
necessary books and papers do not reach us an
time for the sale on the 18th inst
; "In the mean time, if, in such case, no an
! swer to this should be received before that
time, we will adjourn the sale from day to
day. Yours respectfully,
d. L. OLDS, Register"
In answer to the last paragraph of the
letter quoted above, MI. Obs, on the 2Sth
inst, received the following Topographic dis
patch:
"WAsHNGrox, Sept. 10, 1854.
70 Register Minneapolis, Minnesota:
In case the necessary books and papers do
not reach you in time, the sale cannot go on.
w. s. WILSON,
Acting Commissioner"
The above we think will convince those
persons who have been complaining Of Mr..
Obs, that they have not only done that
gentleman great injustice, but also that he
has labored to forward their Interests, and
if bllme should attach to any one, the Com
missioner of the General Land Office is the
person justly chargable for the lands in the
Minneapolis District not being now ready
for sale, by his refusing, or neglecting, to
forward books and papers to this end.

A Man Hanging his own Son.

The following from the Rowan IN. CO. Wing
is description of one of the most brutal acts
on record:
ave learn that in Cabarrus county, last
week, man by the name of Holbrooks hung
his own son. HolbrOoks had sent his son off
to some neighbours house to get something to
eat, and he returned without it. HolbrOoks
then sent him back, and threatened that if he
returned again without it, he would hang him.
The boy returned again as before, whereupon
his father took him to tree and hung him
The man has been arrested.

Washington County Democratic Con.
VemtiOn.

The Delegates of the different precincts
of Washington County net in Convention
on the 2Sth inst, and nominated as County
Officers Mr.. MOWER, of Saltwater, for
County Treasurer, and Mr.. GOLD T. Cur
IT'S, for Probate Judge After which, the
Democratic voters of the precinct of Still
water balloted for two candidates for Rep
resentative, and the following was the re-
suit:
On motion of Mr.. CAErEs, one candidate
only was balloted for at time.
On the first ballot,
J.B. Dixon received 81 votes.
William Willim ID
Mr.. Thompson
Mr.. Kelley Il
On the second ballot,
Mr.. Willim received 43 votes.
Mr.. Thompson " l8
The above are good nominations, and we
doubt not the Democracy will rally around
and triumphantly elect them. Mr.. DIXON
served with marked ability as Secretary of
the Council last winter; his knowledge of
Parliamentary law, his devotion to business
and his steadfast adherence to the princi-
Piles be processes, leave but little doubt of
his success, as the large vote he received for
nomination indicates.
WuLM is also an old fashioned Demo-
crat, a gentleman of intelligence and I'M
swerving integrity. Let our Democratic
friends of Washington elect these gentle
men, and they can boast not being behind
any section Of the Territory for competent
Legislators.

brand Of falsehood upon the statements Of
Gen. JONES, and we shall not be surprised
if Gov. GoRMAN and ex-Delegate SrBLEY
should feel called upon to give him a taste
of their quality also. He richly deserves it,
whether they regard him worthy Of their
notice or not. --.~
Meantime, we would suggest to Gen.
JONES, and his friends, that an application
be forthwith made to Mr.. RICE, to assist in
bolstering up the waning political fortunes
of the Iowa Senator, by inditing commu-
nication to the people Of that State, in which
he shall declare that, inasnuch as they have
not the knowledge or good sense requisite
to judge of the character of their own pub
lie servants, he will graciously inform them
that Gen. JONES is "great man." an "in-
defatigable Representative" and one of the
leading spirits in the Senate Of the United
States. Why not play out the broad farce
to the end, since it has been commenced !?
1t has come to sorrowful pass, when Con
gressmen are compelled to solicit the good
Offices of those from other Districts and
States, to bear witness that they have acted
with common honesty in the discharge Of
their official duties. We trust that per-
Torrance so ridiculous and disgraceful, has
not extended beyond the boundary Of eur
own Territory, and that of the contermin-
Gus State of Iowa. But, even in these Sec
tons where it is practiced, the extraordina-
ry and miserable expedient will not save
them from the public condemnation. HEN
Ry NJ RICE and GEORGE w. JONES both
need far more than the most generous ap-
probation of their own personal characters,
to induce their respective constituents to be-
lieve them either immaculate or pure.
We have already stated that We did not
consider the comments of the Democrat as
of sufficient Importance to he referred to at
any length. Its sentiments are regularly
echoed by the Minmesotian, and both print
the letters which they profess to believe are
exculpatory of Mr.. RICE, but neither has
DARED to publish the sworn evidence pro-
duced before the Committee of Investiga-
ton. They know it to be sufficient to sink
Mr.. RICE and his confederate, Senator
JONES, politically and morally speaking to
a depth of disgrace from which they can
never rise again.
Thus we go-the M1nnesotiam and the
Democrat! Both training on the same
working in the same harness-pre-
pairing the way to nominate a mongrel
RICE ticket-and both doomed to a like
disappointment and defeat Let the fu-
sionists and the favorers of the Railroad
Swindle come on, with Mr.. Delegate RICE
and his personal friend" Ex-Governor RAM
sEy, at their head. The Democracy VAL
storm their stronghold, and aided by hon
est men of all parties, will visit them with
a righteous retribution.
