DEATH RATHER THAN ARREsT,-Last Mon
day evening, a young Irishman, named
Sweeney, was arrested at Warren, on charge
OF rape upon a young woman, and on the
following morning he escaped from the Off
GERS and fled East upon the railroad track.
Men were sent ahead by the highway to cut
him off at the crossing, about two miles dis
tant, while others started in immediate pur-
suit; he was thus placed between the two
parties, with the Quaboag river at his left
hand, and being closlly pursued he fled to
the river, plunged in, and was drowned de-
claring in his latest breath that he would die
before he would be caught.

an appeal to British cupidity in behalf of Ameri-

manufacturing interests Of England, and Gen.

They now fully comprehend the idea, and
freely admit the fact that IL an adequate supply
of cotton is to be had at ALL II aust come from

trade has convinced them that any fanatcal in.

only unwse and impolitic, but that a successful
invasion Of The rights Of slave owners, in the
Southern States Of the cOnfederaey, would react
with fatal effect upon British commerce."
