ARREST OF A FUGITIVE SLAvE-Ex.
c1rEMENr IN BosroN.--A fugitive slave
named Burns was arrested in Boston,
Mass, on Friday last, and confined in
the court house. An attempt was made
to rescue him, in which a special officer
of the q. S. Marshal named James
Bachelor, was shot dead. On Satur-
day morning Burns was taken before
the Commissioners hand-cuffed for ex-
animation, when great excitement en-
sued. Military companies were called
out which prevented an open revolt at
that time. The Mayor issued special
bulletin calling on the citizens to pre-
serve the peace. The examination was
continued until Monday.
A dispatch from Boston of the 99th
states the subject still agitates the pub
lie mind. Printed notices were left in
the pulpit of every church on Sunday,
requesting prayer for the escape Of
Burns. The abolitionists were very ac-
tive in getting up secret meetings. One
hundred revolvers were sold by dealers
on Saturday. A mob of 1000 persons
were in the vicinity of the court house
all day Sunday. The doors leading to
the room where Burns was confined
were occupied by troops. A third des-
patch from Boston says:
Burns was taken into Court this
without irons. None were ad-
nitted into Court without a plss from
.he Marshall. The immense crowd
outside was very quiet. No further RI
1t anticipated. If rescue is attemp-
ed, it will be bloody affair.

The Do Nothing CONGRESS.

The Congress, says the Bulletin, which has
just adjourned, has probably been the most
worthless ever convened in the national pa
lace of legislation. For good, it has been bars
ron. For evil, unfortunately, it has been pro-
life. The best thing done from the commence
nent until the end Of the session, was the final
adjournment. The whole country, "breatEcs
freer and deeper" since the dispersion Of the
grand senhadrims of dcmagogues and mischief
makers, over whose deliberations the advice of
wise, good and patriotic men, exercised not the
smallest influence. May We never look upon
their likes again.
The following important bills before the late
Congress were lost:
The Homestead Land Bill.
The Texas Debt Bill, appropriating $S,5OO,COO.
Tie River and Harhor Bill, e, 100, 900, vetoed.
French SpoIiation Bill. S5,OOO,OOO.
Ramsay California Mail Route Road.
Shanghai Steamship Bill.
Weekly Mail to California Bill.
Ocean Steamship Bill, SS5O,OO0.
Pacific Telegraph Bill.
Pacific Railroad Bill.
To Increase Rates of Postage.
Capt. Duncan Ingrahap's Resolutions.
Minnesota Railroad Bill, repealed.
No Bill making land grants for Railroads
was passed.
The Steamer Appropriation was lost on &C.
count of Mr.. Pennington's amendment, which
put the contrast within the power of 4 trium-
yiratc of hostile Ministers.

says:
For our ability to "put on airs" we are Who'll.

you no efforts shall be wanting on our part to
prove our appreciation for such a generous
support. It has been now almost a year since

the outset, as to whether the enterprise We
were about to undertake, would prove success.

continuance Of the liberal patronage We have
hitherto received and the exercise Of The same
charity with which you have uniformly regard.
ed our faults, and in return, we promise to do
all in our power to deserve the one and correct
the other.
Like the worthy editor Of the Gazette, we
certainly have our misgivings too, now about
commencing the same description Of enter
prise as that in which he has so happily sue
ceeded, through the assistance of his generous
and enlightened community. We shall do all
that we can'to deserve suceess-if failure en-.

u Watl Morrison, a Scotch clerc

u Watly Morrison, q Scotch clergyman,
was a man of great wit and humor. On one
occasion he entrcated an officer at Fort George
to pardon n poor fellow who was sent to the
halberds. The officer offered to grant his re.
quest if he wonld, in return, grant him the first
favor he would ask. Mr.. Morrison agreed to
this, aud the officer immediately demanded
that the ceremony Of baptism should be per-
formed on a puppy. The clergyman agreed
to it, and a party of many gentlemen assem-.
bled to witness the novel baptism.
Mr.. Morrison desired the officer to hold up
the dog, as was customary in the baptism of
children, ard said, "As [ am a minister of the
Church of Scotland, | must proceed according
to the ceremonies of the Church."
"Certainly," said the Major, 81 expect all the
ceremony"
swell, then, Major, | begin by the usual
question-you acknowledge Yourself the father
Of this puppy" 3
A roar Of laughter burst from the crowd,
and the officer threw the candidate for baptism
away. q r,s

A Laughabe Incident.-The Salem Gazette
says that a few evenings %since, two ladies, who
were driving through that city in a four.whecI-
ed chaise, on their way TO Marbiehead, re-
quested a gentleman, whom they overlook in
the streets, to drive them a short distance for
the purpose Of showing them the way. The
gentleman accordingly drove them as far as
Central street, and was then about to leave.
They seemed to be still somewhat fearful,
and at their request he proceeded as far as the
Derby farm, where he babe them good bye, and
on parting was informed by them that 'lrish-
men were all they were afraid Of" The gen
tleman comforted them by assurances that
they would find no difficulty from that cause,
and departed, inwardly laughing at the fact
that they had had an irishmahi's company all
the time.

An Eusolcnt Waterman.
From the Creole.

On Thursday night last, a gentleman of the
First District, after submitting for some time
to a noise which greatly disturbed his whole
neighborhood, by 4 charivari band, sailed out
in quest of 4 Waterman. After walking some
squares, and calling "watch! watch!" at the top
Of his voice, he found one at the Dryades Mar
ket. He Immediately informed the man of the
baton what was going on, giving him the place
distinctly, several squares off. He met with a
fiat refusal. "Then," said the citizen-"go and
tell some other Waterman to stop it," sTll not
do it" was the officials answer. The citizen
then looked at tho number of the hat, under
the light of the lamp. "Your number said
he--"is laS--and if you don't have that row
stopped in half an hour, I'll report you to.mor.
row. and then walked off.
When the ci izen got off about Ten rods. the
Waterman threatened to punish him for his
insolence, and raped several times on the
pavement.
At this, the citizen stopped short, and dared
the Waterman to fulfil his threat exclaiming-
"Rap away, sir, with your stick. Call all your
associates. Come and take the, sir. Why
don't you come? You talk of insoIencc! tits
you that are ~insolent. You are our servant, sir.
We employ you to keep the town quiet; and
pay you money enough to have peace. Why
don't you arrest that riotous crowd, instead of
threatening me? Why don't you spring your
rattle! Why do you keep me waiting SO long!
By speaking one word, sir, I can bring TO this
spot Jfoe hundred men in q little time, TO take you
to The coladoose, if you don't do your day."
1t is proper to add, the article states, that the
noise ceased in less than half an hour, and the
signals of watchmen were heard that night
where they had not been heard before for a
long time. The threat contained in those ital-
icised words was sufficient warning to the bur-
ly Waterman. lie had doubtless heard of the
utterance of a single mystic word, even in the
dead Of night, which assembled together whole
platoons of determined men, in a few minutes
of time, and did not wish to see a practical
demonstration. made through his own agency,
and at his own personal risk and expense.

DTlr. CLAYTON has addressed q letter TO a
friend who had written him, giving his senti-
mcnts fully and frankly in regard to American
born ~citizens and foreigners. All things being

The first claim to the honors and offices Of his
own country; that Americans are fully compe-
tent to govern themselves, and ought to DO
their own voting'and their own fighting, espe-
! cially rs all the burdens of taxation fall upon
them. The policy of Americans purchasing
public larls 10 be giren away to foreign pau

no: comprehend: nor can he understand why we
should so cheaper our birth-right rs to girc
a:cay every portion OF it, our lands, Offices, ard
the right OF suffrage, to all the world sand the
rest of mankind"
There is no country in the world where
citizenship is so cheap as it is here, and we
unierratc it by throwing it away upon every
fclon who escapes from the jails of Europe
and comes here.
So writes the Washington correspondent, Of
the Bee.
