GOV. WISE OF VIRGINIA.

This half.crazed, rattle-headed braggart has just
sent q letter to the Legislature of Virginia, accom-
panying the Resolutions on Slavery passed by the
last Vermont Legislature, of which the following
is an extract. No Union with Shareholders! =
Read
In the present posture of relations, we can but
wait in calm, dignifed and patient composure,
either for the worst to come to the worst, or for a
returning sense of patriotism, reverence for the
past, a sacred regard to law and order, a love of
justice and of peace to be reawakened, and to re-
store q sisterhood of States, its affection, its har-
mouy, its glory and strength.
l, therefore, that no action be had
or taken upon these resolutions by you. 1t is
proper, perhaps, that they should be preserved on
ly as State archives. in proof of the wrong offered
US, and of our forbearance; and this, and respect
Tor State sovereignty alone, determine me to notice
them as | now do. They are but minor results of
the same cause of apprehension and danger which
has assumed q much more formidable phase, and
now arrests the gravest attention OF our country
The Federal government is arrested In its opera
tion, the representative branch of Congress is dis
organized, and the representative principle itself
is brought into disrepute by it at this very mo-
ment; and, in such a crisis as this, we can hardly
descend to look to its results upon a Vermont Leg
~islature and Executive.
Our attention is called to Washington city, not
to Montpelier. Parties, affiliated with those OF
Vermont, who have sent to us those resolutions,
have grown so strong rs to succeed in electing to
Congress more than one hundred representatives
to oppose a mere minority who are now defending
the Constitution, and in Withholding from that MI
nority the support of thirty representatives more
chiefly of the Southern States; and the effect is,
that the House of Representatives cannot be or,
ganized, except upon terms that are su5verslve OF
the Constitution and the Union, and the South is
distracted and divided against itself. Is the de.
sign of the plurality disunion Is the purpose OF
the faction division among ourselves? If SO, it is
time that all people and all interests in our coun-
try should be aroused TO asen Sc of the fact, that
the easiest step 10 disunion is a withdrawal Of rep
resentation, and that the most potent cause to compel
a ~ithdraical Of representation as to disorganize,
distract and degrade representation.
How long Virginia shall be kept waiting for Or
ganization on Constitutional terms? How long
she shall be kept waiting on disorganization, to
oroid being put upon terms Of dishonor or being er-
posed to daRgerP are questions for her people and
her Legislature to determine. For my part, l re-
peat the recommendations of calm, collected digni-
ty, and of patient and forbearing patriotism
Wait! but be not wanting to ourselves and our
posterity, | inplore you.'

REV. PRIME,
EXTRACT OF A LETTER.

Your ahectionate letter, my dear Grace, reveal.

mourning over the loss Of your two precious little
children last spring, ] got a few days ago in Wor.

good and Christian man. lie has been, Tor many

With only one exception the school houses were
comfortable and in good taste, and their fixtures
reasonably convenient. Attention has been given
to uniformity in reading books. Teachers have been
secured, competent to give the instructions requir-
ed in the several localities.
School discipline is better understood, and con-
sequently better order sustained, than we had an
~ticipated. The scholars appeared industrious and
showed happy, cheerful faces; their reading and
recitations told well for the teachers care, and the
scholars application; in brevity we were richly paid

meuts. A C~ommitte, consisting of one from each
of the seven districts, is appointed to raise funds.
by voluntary contribution to be expe nded in pre-
miums of books to those who excel in the useful,
practical branches.
The sum to be raised is not known, but one
house holder who has no children, at a recent pub
lie examination, promised to give as much, and no
more, as the township would raise, between FIVE
and, and a hundred dollars. 1t was a kind unos-
%tentatious offer, made from an intelligent, earnest
desire to promote the diffusion of equal, useful eiu-
sution. ' if
At the examination, after some twenty scholars,
had given specimens of their proficiency in read.

that a comparison might be made between past
and present teaching. With some fhesitancy. ten

Among them were two females (what an example.)
There seemed to be a general acquiescence in the

AN INCIDENT IN THE History OF SLAvErY.-A
few days since q stranger, apparently a Southern
gentleman, arrived at Washington on his way TO
the North. Learning that no train would leave in
the direction he desired to travel till the next day,
he booked himself at one of the principal hotels,
where he received such attentions as are always
due to gentlemen, and passed his time as agree
ably as one could be expected to do who was some
what anxious to prosecute his journey. The next
day he went to the Railroad station to take the cars
for the North where he was arrested by the chief
police, on the ground that instead of being = gen
tlsman, as his appearancei ndlcated, he was merely
a chattI personal, belonging 2 to a butcher Of Rich
M fond by the name of LYMAN. There was moth
ing in his complexion or appearance any way that
betrayed the slightest faint of Ethiopian blood
and he spoke the English and German languages
~huently.

ESCAPE OF FucIrIvEs-ExcIrING C~HAsE-USFoR
TUNATE CAPTURE OF oNE.-A paper published in

gives a description of a late stampede of slaves
from TINT vicinity, 1t appears that six of them

wagons and four horses, came to Hoods Mill, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, near the dividing
line between Frederick and Carroll Counties, on
Christmas day. After feeding their animals, one
of them told Mr.. Dixon whence they came. Be
lieving them to be f~ugitives, he spread the alarm,
and some eight or ten persons gathered around to
arrest them but the negroes, drawing %revolvert
and bowie-knives, kept their assailants at bay until
five of the party succeeded in escaping in one Of
the wagons, and as the last one jumped on a horse
to flee he was fred at, and the load took effect in
the small of the back. After going a few rods he
reeled and fell to the ground when be was pOunced
upon and secured. How he was used by his cap

probable result.
