AN INCIDENT INTHE LATE SLAVE PRO.
CESSI0N.

The editor of the Trumpet, Rev. Thomas
Whittemorc, Cooked upon" as did almost every
body, else, the late Burns fugitive procession. In
the last number Of that paper, handed us by a
friend, VIC notice an incident of interest. The pro-
ceSsion had lust turned into Commercial street.
At this point II company with muskets had been
posted to stop the flow Of business which comes
through that street to the vicinity Of the Custom
House, and to Long, Central and Indian wharves.
The Trumpet says:
Here a truckman, who had been homc for his
dinner, and to feed his horses, and was returning,
was stopped by the soldiers. He could not pass,
and waited. Other teams came up behind him,
and Il great body of people also, and thus hcmmed
him in on all sides. lie was required to fall back.
lie said il was impossible. The man could go nei-
Their back nor forward. The officer became cnrag-
ed, and the truckman also. Finally, the officer
threatened 10 fire upon him. This reused him like
the awaking Of a lion. Fire, said he, "If you
wish to- using a plentiful sprinkling of oaths.
Tlc officer ordered his men to put percussion caps
on their guns. At this the truckman elevated
himself upon his horse, for he was on horseback,
took off his hat, and held it above his head, crying
Fire, YOU towards, fire. at the same time showing
them his naked breast. The officer gave the word
ready, and the soldiers brought up their pieces
to the poise, with their fingers ON the triggers,
when the truckman lifted his hat again, and held
it over his head, cXclaiminG, fire YOU - rascals
you - towards, fire. They did mol fire but n
posse Of cQnstdD!cs went to arrest him, and for a
time he was out Of sight, los in the crowd we be
ieYe hc was pulled from his morse. Bat we saw
him a short time after, on his horse again. 4
body of lancers were brought IN, who ranged he
hind the infantry at this place, and sat upon their
horses with their pistols unhoistered, capped and
cooked in their hands. 1t is a great wonder that
there was not blood she'd at this point. But thank
God there was not, Had the truckman been shot,
Il poor hard working man would have died but he
had a heart az incapable Of being moved by .feay
as that of the braycst of the brave"

COL. SUTTLE,

Does not think that the Mayor Of Boston cxcr-
ciscd the proper alacrity in aiding him to capture
Burns. So It appears from the following letter
addressed to Tie Alexandria Gazette
LETTER FROM col. SUBTLE.
10 the Eitor Of tie Alerandria Gazette =
| see by the newspapers that resolutions have
been passed in several of the counties of Virginia,
commanding the course of Mayor Smith OF Boston
As | 40 not concur in those complimentary resolu-
tions to the Mayor, [ think it my duty to give u
short statement of facts, showing his acton III the
beginning Of the trial.
The fugitive was arrested on Wednesday night,
aud brought before the Commissioner on Thurs
day. After the identity of the negro had been
established, and he repeatedly acknowledged That
he belonged to me, the Commissioner, for some I'M
accountable reason, adjourned the case till thc
following Saturday. During the next day, Friday,
the Abolition newspapers and the fanatics OF Dos
ton were actively engaged in Manufacturing excite
ment against me. The Mayor was applied to tor
the use Of Fannuil Hall, and requested to preside
over their meeting. lie gave them permission to
use the hall, and said nothing would give him
more pleasure than to preside over their meeting,
but that he had an engagement for the evening
which would prevent his doing so. lie assured
them, however, that all his sympathies were Tor the
negro he had none for kidnappcrs.
After the meeting had assembled, and by a unan.
imous vote had declared that they would rescue
the fugitive, and attack Us at the Revere House,
lie was CALLED upon by the L. States Marshal for
part of his police force va protect me CoH'f House
where the negro was kept in the custody of thu
%oficcrs. lie replied that he had no force to spare
There was no mob in the street, and he had II,
right to anticipate a riot; his duty was to have thu
streets cleared, if n mob assembled. The propric
TO? or the Revere Iloosc' also called upon him at
ter the murder of Batchcldcr, and asked for a pc
lice force to protect his house, as well as for tn
protection Of Mr.. Brent and myself. Who wer
staying there. Ills reply was that he had II
force to spare
On Saturday morning, his honor finding the re
spectacle portion of the community ceusured hin
! for his course, and no doubt smarting under tn
! conviction that he was to some extent accountable
for the murder of Bat3helder, changed his position
and declared in the language of President Pierce
thai the law must be executed This cours
brought down upon him the curses of the Aboli
. tionists, who abused him rs u traitor, and fnlled t
command the respect of the law-abiding citizens.
take this occasion to return my thanks to tn
proprietor of the Revere House for his kindncs
and attention during my stay in Boston, aud be-
that he may not be forgotten by Southern men win
visit that city. Yours. truly

Mr.. Naodersliee, Indian Agent among the lown'

were from Ohio and Pennsylvania, and that there
were twenty thousand cmiSrants from Mass"chu-
sets.
Therefore this fellow and his gang ordered the
agent out Of the territory, under the penalty OF

Mr.. Cradle says that Nanderslice ordered him
out of Kansas with all frcesoilers and abolitionists,
