Wasfeful.

Our opponents are harPIng over the ex-
nens.s If the last session of the Ohio Leg
~i,lature. To suit them, it should have adj
iourned Immediately after meeting, and
thereby saved a few thousands to the people.
Had they done so, these economists would
have scorhed the few thousands paid men,
bers, and seemed to be brim full of grief be-
cause no Legislation was had. They are de-
termined to complain, to tell falsehoods, and
to overlook the truth when applied to their
own case. For example, they will not tell
on the previous Legislature which was Lo-
cofoco, and which swindled the State out
of $4,000 in the control of the Peniten-
tiary, S150,0OO on the new State House,
$l17, 900 in contracts on our Public Works,
and other items, amounting in all to a half
million of dollars. What of these items?
Do they tell their readers aught about
them? Yes, they deny the charges, but
forget to publish the proof. They are un-
common honest when the boot is on 'tother
leg, but when their own is pinched, the
pain is never mentioned.

and his accomplices, towards the prisoners,
while in their custody, which go to very
far towards showing that they were engag-
ed in a scene to kidnap these men under
the color of legal authority, take them in
TO Kentucky, and deal with them as their
depraved passions might dictate. They
not only had hand cufed the prisoners, but
they treated them with all manner of indig-
nifty; as for instance, remarking when a
convenient limb projected over the road,
that that would be a good place to hang
such ID abolitionists as they were.
They also threatened to instantly blow
their brains out if thoy opened their mouths
TO tell anybody that they were under ar
rest, or what for. Although they stayed
all night at Esq. Clemans' in Jasper town.
ship, he did not learn the character of the
strangers he Hospitality entertained. When
they left his house in the morning they in
quired the shortest road TO the Ohio river.
Such brutal conduct, by presiding United
States officers, towards free achite citizens
of Ohio, deserves to be punished with the
highest penalty of the law. If the
law is lame, then they should be made
to taste some of the blessings they them
selves were attempting to administer to
their betters. .

Gen. Walkers Surrender.

From a statement made by GEN. Hen
who has just arrived ut New
York, we gain the particulars of WALKERS
retirement from Central America. Gen.
followed WALKER and his forruncs=tn
the last. WALKER had been entrenched
at Rivas, but on the 18th of April Gen.
MORA, at the head of the allies, made an
attack on the town, but was repulsed with
great loss, leaving 10s prisoners in WAL
KER.s hands. The Fillibusters were In con-
slant hopes of reinforcements by way of the
San Juan River, but finally began to despair
of help, when they heard that Capt Davis
of the American sloop-ofwar st Mary, had
seized a large quantity Of WALKERS am
munition, in transit. Then the PROPOSE
ton to retire from the country was enter
tanned, and Capt. DAVIS of the st Mary
proceeded to the seat Of war, and WALKER
and his men surrendered to him as a United
States officer. One of the Costa Riean
generals attended WALKER and his staff
through the lines of the enemy, as a guar
antee for their safety. The women and
children, numbering 20, wereremoyed from
camp on the goth of April, and on the Seth
formal evacuation took place by the troops,

FisHY.-The l~ocofoco press of this State
are trying to make a little capital out of ihe
passage by the last Legislature ola law for
the protection of fish. They don't know,
or perhaps forget to tell their readers that
the Bill was introduced by Mr.. LANepoN,
simon pure democrat, and that it was
voted for by quite as many Democrats as
Republicans. Of course, it would be just
like them tell the whole truth if they knew
it, but being ignorant of the facts, they can
very well blame it all on the Republicans.
The law itself will be found in to-day's
paper, and twill be found on examination
that it does not prohibit fishing in Killbuck,
or any of the creeks in this county. The
law is a commendable one, and was intro
duced for the protection of the fish while
spawning in the Greeks and Bayous ada
cent 10 the Ohio River. If enforced, it
will have the effect to give us q better quail
ity of fish from the Lake and River.

The Fugitive Slave Case in Cham
paign. County.

We noticed a few days since, the abortive
attempt on the part of the United States
Marshal and some Niger hunters from
Kentucky, to capture a negro named AID
olson. Deputy Marshal Churchill, from
C~incinnati-so says the Gazette ofthis city
ON Tuesday last, with a posse of eleven
assistants, armed with a warrant issued by
Commissioner Newhall, visited Champaign
county and arrested Charles and Edward
Taylor, Russell Hyde, and Hiram G~uttridge,
charging that they aided in the escape of
the negro. The excitement was intense at
Merchandising, and writ of htbeas corpus is
sued, but the officers got their prisoners out
of the county before the Sheriff could over
haul them. Another writ was issued in
Greene county and the Sheriff, backed by
a big crowd, took the Marshal and his posse
and their prisoners into custody and carried
them to Springfield.

a The aSouth"-an ultra and illiberal

l The @sSouth"-an ultra and illiberal
proslavery journal, published in Richmond,
Va. suggests in an article which appeared
a few days since, some amendments to the
| Constitution of the United States, with a
view to the perpetuation of Slavery. It
says the balance of power in the Senate Is
lost, or will be lost in a few years, and ex-
presses a fear that the time is approaching
when the Free States will be Invested with
power to amend the Constitution ashley
WILL" should no efforts nop be made to de-
prive them of that privilege. "A glance
at the map of the United States satisfies
the "South" that the Republican party will
ultimately triumph in this country. To
prevent them Withdrawing from the "pecu-
liar institution" its ancient constitution
props, that journal throws out the following
suggestion:
"If, now, we can so amend the Constitu-
ton as to provide that no such power b a
ever be conferred upon-th e General Govern
ment, except by the same unanimity which
is already required to deprive any State OF
its equal representation in the Senate,
that danger might be obviated. If the
Constitution be not now amended, to curtail
the growing power of the Central Govern
ment, as sure as the sur will rise upon the
morrow so surely will it be amended, if the
Union continue so long, to increase that
power. If the States of the South now
fear to ask amendments for their protection,
how long will they be better able to resist
amendments for their subsection! Do not
the muttered thunders of Northern indigna-
ton at the bred Scott decision, already give
earnest of the coming storm? Is it not
wise, is it not eminently prudent, for us to
INSIST now upon a revision ofthe articles Of
Union, while we are capable of withstand
ing assault-when with every day comes
increasing comparative .weakness-and,
with that increasing weakness, comes in a
geometrical ratio the disposition to asssii
and subdue!"

This expedition of WALKER's was gen
generally approved by the opposition press
in our country, and much was said by them
about 'Manifest Destiny" "Liberty," "Glo-

This is an honest and earnest little book,
designed to aid the young people of our
great republic in becoming true American
ladies and gentlemen. The author seems
to desire to make his readers something
better than mere imitators of foreign man
ners, often based on mere social conditions
radically different from our own-some
thing better than mere imitators of an,
manner in fact, and has dwelt at a create
length and with far more emphasis upol
general principles than upon special OBJ
s~ervances, though the latter have thei
place in the work. 1t seems 10 have beef
his first object to impress upontheir mind
the fact, that good manners and good moi
ais rest upon the same basis, and justic
and b~eneyolence can no more be satisfe'
without the one than without the other.
The work is essentially different iron
any other manuel of etiquette, and wi
aid we hope, in building up a-truly Amer
can and school Of ~pnliteness.

that rather upsets the theories of those who
expect the visit of the comet. The comet
that Europeans said would strike the earth
in June, and which is now visible with the
Telescope, was nearest the earth on the 9Th
inst, and is now receding at a rate not to
be mentioned the same year with railroad

A correspondent of the Missouri R.n,b-

were stolen from a stable in that plaee.-
The thieves were pursued by three men.

thieves o~utnumbered the pursuers. DOu-
bled barrel shot guns were borrowed from
a 0nice young lady," who was down on all
horse thieves, and offered to volunteer for
the war. A brisk chase was continued, and
the result is thus given by the letter-wri-
ter:
We had a hard chase and the animals
on both sides were greatly exhausted, but
we finally came so near them when within
about four miles inside of the Nebraska line,
that they came to the conclusion further
flight would be useless, and turned and
formed a line across the road, side by side,
with their revolvers all ready for a fight
but there was no hesitation on our side
we had made up our minds to recover our
property or die in the attempt, so we sep
Grated a little so as 10 divide their fire, and
then charged with o yell. As We got with
in twenty steps of them they fired one shot
each, and then fled; we reserved our fire,
not wishing to wound the horses, and pur-
sued; as we got up with them, they again
turned and fred three shots, but without
effect, and once more broke and run. We
then commenced bringing down u double
barreled shot guns, which had been well
loaded with buck. AT the first fire we had
the satisfaction to see the thief on the gray
(Rrichardson's Express Company's) horse,
throw up his arms and give a yell-what
he said we could not hear-and then tum-
bic from his saddle. His horse, jaded and
trembling like a leaf, stopped short upon
being relieved from the weight of his rider,
and went to grazing. We continued on
