the Prince Lieutenant General, with praise
worthy regard for the scanty revenues Of the King
has sketched out plan Of officers for the first and
second battalion of Infantry, for company of Ar
tlllery and for troop of Cavalry to serve entirely
without pay, excepting only the Captains of Arti.-
lery and Cavalry, to whom so per month, or
$40 year are allowed, and three other officers
to whom, collectively, S1,0S0 are allowed yearly.
Sd. You will observe from Schedule b. that
with the anxiety spare the public revenues,
the Lieutenant General proposes only tao compa-
MES to be continually service, consisting only
OF one-half of their regular complement, &C 100
men receiving pay, the other half to be furough,
and TO receive no pay, but the officers Of each
company to be constantly on duty-and one de-
tachment Of Artillery of only 20 men, the whole
costing for pay and food at the rates fixed BY him

The above recommendatory Resolution having
been land before the King and Council on the 9th

Of which the following is copy
"REsoLvED, That IN conformity with the recon-

servation of the Kings authority of law and order,
the Minister of Finance is hereby authorized to
hold at the disposal of the Secretary at War the
sum of $1,000, out of the funds now in the Trea-

Revelations subsequently made have only tended
to confirm the verify of the latent dangers to
which the Kings Government had been exposed
for many MONTHS and the necessity of the precau-
tons aforementioned, and of others which have
been taken to avert these dangers without detri-
ment to life or properly. What those revelations
were, who made them, End what those other pre-
cautions are, cannot at present be dlVulged with
out detriment to the Kings service, and, perhaps
danger TO the nation. The Legislature In their
own way can satisfy themselves as to the main
facts, and the Kings Ministers feel confident that
the Legislature of 1854. cannot Otherwise construe
the 4th Section Of the appropriation bill OF loo3

Two slave-nun.s in PENNSYLVANIA.

Last week, our county was honored with
two slave hunts, and we had the privilege
of witnessing the denouement OF one OF
which happened within our personal ohserya-
ton. One morning, the 9th inst, three tall,
likely specimens of "human chattels, from
Maryland. for whose ears the music OF clank-
ing chains, and the task masters whip mad
lost their charms, passed through this place en-
route for land Of freedom Not long after
followed, in hot pursuit, couple o. claim
ants, offering a reward Of $500 as they went.
But the "chattels " had got the start The
chase continued as far as Harrisburg, where
the pursuing party had the pleasure Of learn
ing that their prey had taken the under
ground railroad " about half an hour before,
and were beyond their reach The hunters
returned through this place on Friday evening,
having spent some four or Ave days IN the
fruitless chase.
On Friday last we had another "hunt,
gotten up by several of our own citizens,
whose dutiful regard for the Constitution and
laws of the country led them to rot,@'teer their
services in the reclamation Of g fugitives from
service or labor 1t seems that a party Of
colored persons, consisting of a husband, wife,
and child, and another grown man, were over
hauled near Arendtstown, in this county, as
fugitive slaves, by Andrew Hartman, (mlller)
OF franklin township, and a Mr.. Gallagher.
After some delberation it was determined to
haul them down to Gettysburg, here to await
the arrival of their masters Hartman acting
as teamster and Gallagher as out-rider. BY
some means, one of the darkies, soon after the
arrest, managed to effect his escape, leaving
the husband, wife and child in the possession
Of the captors. The husband was thereupon
securely corded, and all went well till within
amile OF so Of Gettysburg, when it was deemed
advisable tLat Gallagher should ride to town
and make arrangements for the reception Of
the prisoners. The latter had gone but short
distance, when the wife Embossed the cords
which fettered the husbands arms, and he
springing from the wagon, took to the woods,
and was out of sight before Andy had time to
communicate the escape to his comrade. Gal
lagher turned in fruitless pursuit of the hus-
band, and Andy proceeded to town with the
balance of his charge, now reduced to the
wife and child. Driving up to the County
Prison, he demanded room for his prisoners
but Sheriff Scott, not clearly understanding
that he had right to furnish accommodations
for Others than those officially committed to
his custody, referred him to our committing
magistrates. Andy Immediately drove his
team to the front of The Star office, but not
finding the Justice at home, went in search of
him, leaving the wagon in care of the woman
and her child. A kind word from gentle
man passing by, induced the weeping mother
to leap from the wagon, and away she went,
leaving the team to take care of itself That
night the whole party got safely on the "un-
derground railroad" and have not since been
heard of by tier generous captors !-Gettys

WAGFR AS TO THE PRoDUCTIyENE OF
AMER1cAN CoRN.--In the month OF January
lS47, at certain dinner party in London, at
which Lord John Russell, Lord Morpeth, and
many other distinguished men We're present,
the conversation turned upon the Irish famine;
and the remark was made by Lord John, that
he reioiced that so good substitute for the
native breadstuF has been found as Indian
Corn, Turning to Mr.. Bates, the American
partner in the house Of Barring Brothers, his
lordship went on to say, "Why, Bates, some
of the cobs have twelve or fourteen rows Of
corn on them" Mr.. Bates coolly replied
"Yes, my lord, have seen from twenty to
twentv-four rows on a cob" THAT is a rank
Yankee-ism,' was the pleasant retort OF the
Premier, and the whole company shouted IN
approval The burst of incredulous merrl-
ment over, Mr.. Bates bought his peace by
wager of dinner for the company all round
that he could produce such an ear. "Done,
exclaimed Lord John, and the bet was clinched.
The dinner passed off. Mr.. Bates returned
home, but not entirely at ease. He had done
a strange thing for the first time i'll his life
he had made an engagement he was not alb
solutely certain of his ability to fulfil. He
had misgiyings that he had rashly pledged the
honor of his country. 1t had been long since
be had looked upon an American Grub and
however patiently he winnowed the corn
ucopit Of his memory, he found that the cobs
of his carly days had gone glimmerlng,
through the laps Of time, among the things
that were, and were now SO far off that he
couldn't count the rows. He was, as Platus
would say, yedUctas aG mvitas-in Yankee
parlance, 'hard up" But Fortune favors
the brave. 1t happened that a friend of ours
dropped in the next day at the counting house

FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE IN NIAGARA CoUN-
TY.-- Warren's Corners, Niagara Co, Ja,1e 20.
l954.-Southern bloodhounds and slavecatch-
ers are abroad Our remarkably quiet neigh
borhood has this day been thrown into excite
ment from the appearance and suspicious de-
pertinent OF some strangers. Charles Brown,
colored man, who has resided in our midst
more than two years, and who has won the
respect of all who made his acquaintance, was,
at an early hour this morning, rather surprised
by the appearance of his masters nephew
from Kentucky. Two gentlemen had been
making strange maneuve rs inthe eighborhood
for one or two days, and on Tuesday they
passed by the residence of Brown on the Lock-
port and Warren Plankroad, going toward
Lockport. They stopped nearly in front of
Mr.. David Cartons, and appeared to consult
together in whisper, then wheeled around
and drove up the lane to Browns house. One
then went back to Mr.. Mighells, (on whose
farm Brown liyes,) the other remained in the
carriage, looking directly through the door Of
Browns house, watching apparently for some
one. The one in quest of MIR. Mighell pretend
ed to want to rent his farm for the ensuing
year . Brown saw him and, recognized him,
II toas the neplsetc Of his old sastert Brown fled
to the woodswith the avowed intention Of eros
sing Niagara River We have not heard from
him yet tonight, but we hope that he has kept
clear from the river, as all the crossings are
undoubtedly watched. 1t probably was the
plan of the hunters to start him from this place
and trap him there. But we knoD that Others
are on the alert, and that the fugitive will not
be captured without struggle.
