Henry A. Wise once thanked God in Con-

The Chicago Tribune Of Monday morning,
has the following relative to tho fogltiyo case
in that city:
About IL o'clock yesterday Sunday, an
attempt was made in the vicinity of the Rock
Island Railroad Depot TO take n fugitive slave.
Three mon named John and George Buchanan.
and Wm. Grant--al from St. Louis-seized
tho negro as he was walking in the street. lie
Instantly discovered them, and mado efforts to
release himself, in which he sncceedcd. Du-
ring tho scuiile, the slave had his coat torn
nearly OF. and one OF the Buchonans lost out
OF his pocket a revolver, which the negro picked
up, and told the others to 'stand off" II is
asserted that John Buchanan then fired at the
slave, but did not hit him. Doring this time
crowd had collected, but os soon as the pistol
was fired. John Buchanan was seized by the
police and others, and escorted by largo
crowd down Clark street to the Watch House
where ho was locked up. The other Buchanan
and Grant ran down to Young America saloon
IN front of which an immense crowd quickly
collected.
Marshal Knights went To the saloon and cs-
corted the two over to jail.
What was become of the negro, we cannot
state. The occurrence drew together crowds
of people during tho early part of tho after
noon, ia the vicinity of Young America and
Court House Square. There was no demon
siraton attempted, and the excitement was
wholly confined to the knots of persons dis
cussing the subject.
An examination will probably be had this
forenoon.
The Tribune of Monday afternoon has the
anneyed:
1t seems litllc singular that this matter
should have been attempted during tho present
state of public excitement. If the slave catch
ers wish to try tho public temper and bully
Chicago after the fashion attempted in Boston
in Juno last, they will have the sorricst expert.

blotted our history. Common prudence should
teach them not to como there and .ire pistols

an attempt.

| further violence. When the examination come:
ois we shall endeavcr tc give full report of the

late hour this forenoon, before Justice D.

THE ARMED EXPEDITION AGAINST MEXICO

"A few days ago wo stated that rumors were

three months, and the utmost secrecy has been
observed by those interested in it.
