plantations after their experience in Cincinnati
On Friday of last week, (thc 7h,) four Of them,
the two men, Simon Sen, and Simon Jr, with
Margaret and her infant were shipped on board
tho steamer Uenry Lewis bound for Arkansas. On
Saturday afternoon, at ! o'clock, the Henry Lewis

ward bound steamer, the +. Howard. The latter
vessel was not materially injured while the former
was made n perfect wreck and sunk instantly with
the loss Of fifteen or twenty lives, and among them

Courier says:
Among those known to DO lost were two chill
dren, on deck, belonging to n poor irish woman
going to New Orleans a v woman, name unknown,
was also lost from the deck. Fou- of the fugitive
slaves of Mr.. Gaines, were on the boat, including

Joy at the loss Of her child. She was accompanied
by the two Simons, father and son, all in charge of
Marshal Butts, Of CovinGton. lie had n narrow

after the collision to get something, and was got

TIE REQUlSITION.
As the only thing left to be done to vindieate-
the majesty Of Ohio law" and assert her SOW
~reignty, Governor Chase adopted Judge Leavitts
suggestion and sent q message to Governor More
head OF Kentucky demanding Margaret for trial
for murder. The Messenger reached Frankfort on
on Thursday, presented his demand and ON
Friday morning received from the Governor an
answer that the demand was complied with, and
furnishing the necessary documents for her arrest
and return to Ohio for trial. The messenger then
proceeded to Louisville, where he arrived in time
to find out that Margaret had been shipped to
>Arkansas and SO was as thoroughly out of the
reach Of Governor Moreheads authority rs that of
Governor Chase.
Whether she will be followed to Arkansas in
time to find that she has been shipped. to Missis-
sippi, we cannot say. But this VIC do see, that
this method of running around the slave States to
catch this poor woman that she may lie tried for
an offence against our laws, is n miserable way OF
restoring our lost credit. And probably we shall
not soon hear the last of Governor Morehead's
magnanimous spirit and the liberal principles of
inter State comfy which prevails in Kentucky

the English difficulties and tn, Kansas ques-
tion. On the latter subject, the Committee on
elections in the House have presented a report
in favor of sending for persons and papers in
the Reeder case. The minority have also pre-.
scented a report on the same subject. There is
little probability that a majority of the House will
grant the request or, indeed do anything effectuai
for the relief OF Kansas or for any other interest o.
freedom. individuals are doing what they can
but if they So We their own souls, it is all that can
DO expected.
The anti. Nebraska men at Washington are doing
something, as we'll as their opponents in the way
of President making. They have issued an invi.
tation to the friends Of Judge Mclean, Mr.. Bell,
Governor Seward, Mr.. Chase, Mr.. Hale and General
Houston, to attend a meeting of Anti-Nebraska
Congressman. 1t is supposed that from 100 to l2O
Senators and Representatives will attend.
That looks like an attempt at fusion on a large
scale. There will not be much aati-slavery leaven
