THE CIRCULATION OF THE BUGLE.

We have the pleasure of acknowledging in our
receipts this week, Tico Hundred Dollars from the
Cincinnati Ladies' Anti-iSiarery Seeing Circle, in
payment for papers to be sent to persons not now
subscribers, with the hope that they may be dis
posed to become such, thus extending the circula-
tion and usefulness Of the paper. Persons, there
fore, who are not subscribers and who receive the
paper from this number onward will understand
from whence and how it comes. No bills will be
sent to them, We have received payment for such
time as We shall send it to their address. Never
theless, if any choose to pay VIC will place their
money to the credit of the fund for gratuitous cir
culation, and some one else will receive the paper
in consequence, who might not thus have access to
this means of anti-slavery intelligence.
We feel greatly gratifed and encouraged by this
liberal contribution of our Cincinnati friends to-
ward extending the circulation of the paper. Will
not others also be thereby encouraged to for
ward and cooperate in the same work, and aid us,
by procuring new subscribers. We had rather
have a new subscriber to the Bugle than donation
of its price to the funds of the Society. We have
some few friends who are laboring nobly for this
end. We hope their faithful example may find
imitators.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Some two or three weeks since we gave notice,
that after mature reflection and experiment, the
Executive Committee had come to the conclusion,
to dispense with the rigid rule previously adopted
by recommendation Of the Society, enforcing pre-
payment ia all cases. II seems to be hardly up
plicable to paper like ours advocating ultra and
unpopular sentiments, and for which VIC wished to
procure many readers, from whom we could hard
ly expect adUanoe payment, as the paper was often
engaged in exposing their wrong positions and re-
buking their wrong doings.
Notwithstanding this, We still desire prepay
mcnt and hope to receive it, from the great major
iy Of our subscribers 1t will be for their interest
and for ours that we should.
In order that all may have the opportunity of
paying as soon rs their subscription expires, the
Publishing Agent will send notices Of the time
when subscriptions terminate at least three weeks
before the time Of their expiration. Thus all will
know when to forward their subscription money.
All who wish to discontinue arc requested to
iorfe Their names and address, with the word dscon-
tinue on paper and direct it to the Anti- Slarery
Bugte. This is the easiest cheapest and best
method of notifying dscontinuancc, and will SO.
cure prompt attention.
Subscriptions may be sent by mail at our risk.
money comes safely; occasionally a
letter is lost. But in such case subscribers will
not be the losers if we are made acquainted with
the fact. Better to keep description of the mon
ey sent, and let the postmaster know when you
mail the letter. that it contains money. Postage
stamps can be sent for change

The TESTIMONIAL TO j. w. WALKER.-Will not
some one in each ant-slavery neighborhood take it
upon him or herself to visit the friends in the vi
cnity, and collect their contributions for the family
of Mr.. Walker. 1t will be an appropriate tribute
to his memory, and but an act of justice to hi,
fatherless children. They are entitled to home,
where they may be sheltered and trained for use
funcss and happiness, and the abolitionsts should
provide it. Thousands have been enlightened and
improved by Mr. Walkers labors and they will
not grudge and should not withhold small con-
tributon. Surely, a thousand persons can be found
who will bo willing to contribute dollar each for
this purpose. Send it on promptly, dear friends,
and the work can be done at once.
We would suggest to the numerous and attached
friends of Mr.. Walker in Michigan, tina t they can
send their contributions to Thomas CHANDLER, the
Corresponding Secretary of the Michigan Anti.
Slavery Society. JAMES BARNABY and BENJAMIN
BowN, of Salem, Columbiana Co., o., will also re-
ceive contributions.

KIDNAPPING AT AKRON.

On Thursday of last week, bold and outrageous
attempt was made to kidnap a colored citizen Of
Akron. 1t seems the kidnappers had been prowl
ing about Cleveland for week previous, but the
colored people and their friends were ON their
guard, and they were unsuccessful. After ar
rangements made, they therefore made their de-
scent upon Akron, with what result, the following
correspondence of the Leader will tell
AKRON, 18th p. N.
EDs. MORNING LEADER Two men came here,
three days since and visited colored barber by
the name of James Worthington at his house, pro-
posing to buy the house; their object was to gain
information.
They came back Wednesday, and Thursday
morning, arrested WOrtbington at his house at 9
O'Clock A. NJ, and took him to the cars, charging
him with counterfeiting, and refusing to let him
half an hour. Worthington begged his friends to
get him counsel. The alarm was given and an
immense crowd assembled
The writ was examined by Mr.. Wilson who
found it to be totally iooythIess.
The excited crowd refused to permit them Il
take him. They left threatening that they should
return-they had a writ from Judge Leayitt, an(
one of the men who made the arrest is from Louis
vile, from which it is alleged by Marshall Fitch
Worthington escaped, stealing himself and $l75
Worthington has been here ten or twelve years
i writ from the Governor is expected. Dennis
a deputy Marshall was with the Kentuckian.

How is 1t that these scoundrels--the kidnapper
are always suffered to escape. Tho thousand in
dignant citizens of Akron, should have not only
released Worthington but have secured the mar
thief and his accomplces. They are not to b,
trusted m rnn nh lor1a Ono of tba MAN ,ros ,
citizen of Cleveland, a U. S. officer. Will the peo
pie Of Cleveland let him go prowling abroad fol
more victims among his neighborSf To him tn,
end of this outrage should not bo his discomftur,

PRESBYTERIAN AssENBLIEs.--Tho two General
Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church have met
this year, the Old School at Buffalo, and the New
at Philadelphia. The meetings of both, were un-
marked, so far as we have seen their proceedings,
with anything Of interest to the cause Of freedom.
The questions which were propoundcd last year,
in the N. S. Assembly, in reference to slave hold
ing statistics, were passed over without answers
or any important notice. Slave holding swagger-
ing has efectually silenced the church as tho
state. The New School meets next year in st.
Louis.

MR.. PURvIs's SPEECH.

Mr. President; The remarks you have employ
ed in introducing me to this audience oxcites
feeling in my mind scarcely ever dormant in the
terrible ordeal through which are passing every
moment of cur existence, in the presentation to-
day Of that state Of things which victmzes us by
cruel and relentless prejudice This, Sir, is
hard, very hard to bear for, with due Difference
to modcsty, we live in the consciousness of our
rights and our manhood.
But, Mr. President, you have said that this is the
twentieth anniversary of the American Anti-Sav-
cry Society; but, Sir through this long lapse Of
years in which anti-Slayery truth has been preach
ed according to the gospel of this Society, We feel
to-day the necessity Of yet presenting to the Amer
lean people the plain aud Just demands we make
upon them Is 1t not passing strange that there
is as yet needed from the people of this country
practical recognition of the fact that the cooured
man is a man and as such is entitled to equal
rights, with other monl But, Sir, we have well,
grounded hope in the history Of past success and
the present aspect of cause, that our cause will
yet triumph beg leave, Sir, to offer, az an OK.
preston of my views upon this point the following
resolution;
I Eesoircd, That the contrast between the present
aspect Of the Ani-slayery cause and as it present

The following letter is from the Conneautylle

EMANCIPATION.

Edward Davis, who so heroicaly escaped from
the south and was 80 meanly returned to Slavery
by our inhuman Government, has at length found
a release beyond the reach Of fugitive slave laws
and U. s. Commissioners and marshals. We learn
from the Philadelphia Register that application
was made to an attorney in Macon, Georgia, to act
in ~ behalf. The following is his reply
MACON, Ca, May s, 1854.
"MR. JonN WALEs--My Dear Sir Your letter
Of the 9th ult. il is before me. The person, Ned
Davis, about whom you write, died few days ago
in this city, Were he in life, would not hesitate
amoment to undertake his cause
Respectfully &c. =. A. NE.Bir."
Edward Davis was of right free citizen Of
Pc nnsylvania, not born slave The Register
adds;
whether the torture Of the lash helped 10 cut
short his life or the bitterness of his disappoint
mont prosrated body as well as spirit or his fatal
disease was engcndercd by the hardships Of his
wonderful struggle for liberty we do not know.
"But in any event, his hard fate must excite in
every human breast feeling of pity for his suffer
ings, and Of Indignation against the Internal system
of which he has been made the victim, and against
those who support and seek to extend it.
A GOOD SPEEcH was made in Congress on tho
Nebraska bill, oil the 9th inst. by Mr.. Davis Of
next week. II is an anti-slav cry speech.
ENANcIrATIoN.-The 9th inst. was the day fixed
by the Government Of Venezuela, for the emanci-
patton Of her slaves. While this noble act Of JUS
tice is being consummatcd, the President and
Congress Of "the model republic" are excrtng
every energy to the utmost, to extend the curse to
free territory. All honor to the emancipating gov
ernmcnt of Venezuela. Shame upon the enslaying
government of the United States.
EDWARD EVERETT has resigned his scat in tho
United States Senate. I'll health is assigned as tho
cause. Whether II is the disease in his back" is
not stated But is most earnestly to be hoped that
Massachusetts may be able to find Senator with
back bone, to supply his place.
THE DEMOCRATIC SENTINEL, of Garfield, has
changed hands, and with its change has greatly
improved its principles. Under the former dspen-
saton, the Sentinel was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
all. The new editors speak out mnnfully against
slavery and slave extension.

Mining News.

The average yield during the past week has
been fully equalt any we have lately had
the pleasure of chronicling. Although we
have heard Of no big strikes, still we have
gathered enough to convince US that it has
been a profitable week for the miners gener-
ally.
We were shown on Monday last, two beau
tiful specimens weighing S74 3O-and "A 70,
taken from the Day Diggings, opposite to
Pike Flat.
On the same day, we were informed that
Mr.. Potter, a gentleman well and favorably
known in this community, had succeeded in
striking rich lead at Iowa Hill, and is tax
ing out his pile at a rapid rate
A visit on Tuesday to several of the Quartz
Mills in this vicinity, showed us most graft
flying success on the part of the companies
generally. AT both the Empire Mill and the
Gold Hill company, we were shown around
by the gentlemanly proprietors, and looked
with pleased and astonished eye at the com
pleteness and high finish of all their machine
ry. The quartz interest, is HOW without
doubt properly understood, and it is to that
interest, that this portion of our county is to
look for protection and main success. It is
too, with much pleasure that we state our be-
lief in steady and permanent increase of
this interest. 1t is our intention soon to give
as complete and full an account of the whole
matter as we are able to gather
FALLING OF TUNNEL.-On Saturday last.
the Peterson tunnel, now owned by Clark.
Bosworth & Co. fell in, and came very near

This tunnel is about or 900 feet in length,
and upon this occasion. some 60 feet fell in.
Mr.. Lloyd, and two other persons were at the
time of its falling. inside the tunnel, and look
ing back, they saw the dirt falling, and ahead
the timbers crashing and giving way, leav-
ing no apparent means of escape, and no 9th
er expectation than that they would instantly
be buried alive. Their feelings were of course
perfectly indiscribable Most fortunately,
however, an old shaft chanced to be left, and
they were pulled up through this by their
friends, using long ropes. 1t was one of the
most narrow escapes from horrible death,
that we have for a long time heard of

On the evening of the 9th, very mapy of

upon which, mine host, Benton, had spread
the good things of life in ample profusion.
For full six hours, it was one continued scene
OF hilarity, pleasure and wit, and although
regret was large component, still it was
