Mr.. SUMNER IN THE SLAVE STATES The
Daily Eoening Ne,cs of st. Louis, Missouri in
publishing the letter of DR.. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, pays the following tribute to Mr..
Sumner:
Meeting Of Giants.-Senator Charles Sum-
ner, OF massachusetts, is one of the leaders of
the Anti-Slavery movement in the North, and
AUTOMATICALLY one of the ablest champions of
the objects and aims Of that movement. The
sincerity which characterizes his espousal of
the Antl-Slavery cause and the accorded ability
with which he defends it, united with charac-
ter for decorum and reputation for learning,
have won for him the courtesy even of those to
whom his opinions are disgustingly abominabe
and even during the present irrtated feeling
between the North and South, which Mr.. Sum
ner himself has done so much to engendet and
aggravate, he can travel over the countrs, and
receive nowhere more sincere and expressive
evidences of respect than is paid to HIM in
Southern cities. A few months ago, Mr.. Sum
ner delivered great lecture at Niblo's Theatre,
in New York, before the Abolitionists Of that
city, which has been represented by his friends
as mastery vindication of the Anti-Slavery
movement. 1t Uds able, brilliant, and learned /;
but it was wealth of intellectual ability, bril-
hancy, and learning, msdirected by fanaticism,
and lavished on an unworthy cause. But there
are other giants in the world besides Mr.. Sum-
ner. Rev. Robert j. Breckenridge, of Danville,
Kentucky, is one. He is a Presbyterian min.
lister, and destitute of any national reputation ::
yet he is regarded by those who know him as
one Of the most gifted of the gifted family whose
name he bearsn

NEGRO CATCHIYG.-On Friday, two fugitive
slaves were arrested in the passenger train on
the Madison and Indianapolis railroad, near
Dupont, by John Mancourt Esq, and William
Monroe, Esq. The first holds the responsible
position of conductor of the train; the latter is
Adams & Co.'s Express Agent. The fGgitives
had been hunted with dogs on the other side of
the river; these, after desperate fight, they
had killed with their knives. The fugitives
wandered about from Sunday night until Fri
day, without provisions. Worn out ragged,
foot-sore, having had nothing to eat but what
the orchards and forest-trees provided, they
despaired of escape, and hailed the cars, were
taken to Vernon, to the U. S. Commissioner,
remanded to slavery, upon their own admission
of being fugitives from labor, brought to this
city on the return of the train, and before sun
down were safe on the shores of our sister State,
Kentucky.-MGdiSOn Courier.
Alas, for Freedom, when such heartless par
agraph can be found in a Northern DeD2pcratic
paper Alas, for Freedom, when such :, heart
less party receives the support of Northern
menl And that railroad conductor, and that
express agent, what shall we say of them
May the mark of Cain rest upon them forever.
They pawned their manhood for a few dollars !;
verify, they shall obtain their reward, if there
be any virtue left in the people of Indiana

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.-The stated meet
ing of the managers was held at New York, on
the 9th instant, Hon Luther Bradish in the
chair, assisted by Francis Hall and Benjamin
L.. Swami, Esqrs. Seven new auxiliaries were
recognised, of which two were in Arkansas, and
one in each of the States of South Carolina,
Texas Illinois, California, and one in Oregon
Territory. A letter was received from Rev. Mr..
Peet, Fuh Chau, China, in regard to the work
in that country, and the advantage of publishing
the Scriptures in the coloquial dialect; from
Rev. Mr.. Doty, at the Annoy Mission, stating
the unusual demand for the Scriptures there
and requesting funds for their publication ;
from Rev. DR.. Durbin, of the Methodist Mis-
sionary Society, asking funds to purchase BIZ
bles for Sweden; from Mr.. Fighter, with an
account of a visit to Russian prisoners, to dis
tribute the Scriptures, and encouraging state
ments as to the sale of the Scriptures by some
aged Turks; from Mr.. Montsalvatge, in New
Grenada, stating the destruction of the ship in
which he sailed, by gunpowder, and the narrow
escape of himself and family, and the opening
of Protestant religious service at Carthagena.
Some valuable additions were made to the IL
brary, among which were Annotations on the
Books of the Old and New Testament, 1851.
Grants were made of Bibles and Testaments to
different institutions, and one hundred dollars
were voted to the Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, to purchase Bibles
for their mission IN Sweden.-M T. Coarter.
