escaped from him, in Virginia. a few months
since, and fled to this city, where she was ar
rested as a fugitive slave, and held in custody,
to await tile lawful demands of the owner or
claimant The defendant contcn,icd that She
was not slave, and her rights to freedom could
be established beyond doubt, since the eyiden-
ces of her rights were in her possession, and
she claimed the privilege of producing them
under the petition she had filed, and
in conformity with the practice of the
Court respecting said suits for freedom
The Gonrt substantially decided that the suit
for freedom instituted by the defendant was
wholly collateral issue, and could not be in
quired into in the present case; that the only
question whether the transcript of the recordin
the Virginia Court (Which prime facie establish
ed the relation of master and slaye,) was prop
eriy prepared and authenticated, in conformity
with the act in question. If so then the plain
tiff, having complied with the requirements of
this law, no other course was left them to purs
sue, under the law, but to ordersttiat she be de-
liveredsnp to him. And accordingly she was
delivered up to the plaintiff, who made good use
of his time, in conveying his slave back to Old
Virginia; in fact, almost as2good time as the
counsel for the defendant, who Immediately pro-
ceeded TO the Alexandria Courthouse, and there
brought suit in her behalf Maury for plaintif;

CLIMATE OF MrSNEsorA.-Mr. Bond, in his
exciting work, "Minnesota and its Resources"
says, page 28:-
The whole world cannot produce climate
more salubrious than that of Minnesota We
have never yet known case of fever aud ague
in it, nor any unwholesome water, either in wells
springs, lakes or streams. 1t is for our cool,
healthful climate that braces up the human
frame for vigorous exertion. physical and moral
that we regard Minnesota incomparably supe-
rior to any other new State or Territory in
North America. They may raise more corn in
Illinois, more wool in Ohio, more pork in Iowa,
more cotton in Mississippi, but Minnesota can
beat them all raising Hen. Inthe coolest wealth
err, when the Mercury conseals, men may per-
form as much labor. out of doors as at any time
in the Year. The air is then still as death-the
smoke from the chimneys falls to the ground
every human body creates around itself an at
mosphere of warmth. The stiffness and dry
ness of the atmosphere and vigorous health we
enjoy, account for the comfortable enjoyment
here of degree of cold that would be intolera-
BILE in st. Louis.
