Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-08-29

AGRICULTURAL PRoDUCTs.-The patent Office
report gives an estimate off the vegetable pro-
duets of the United States for 1856, the leading
items Of which are as follows:
VALUE.
Indian Corn, S3eOO 00,0 900
Wheat, 274, 500, 600
Hay and Fodder, 1901 900
Pasturage, 143, 000, 600
Cotton, 1876, 000. $50
Oats, $4,000, 600
Carbon Products, $4,000, 900
Potatoes, Al $50, 900
Sugar, So, 900, 900
Orchard Products; 25,500,00
From the above table it will be seen that if
cotton is king" it has not honestly come by this
prominence. The crop of Indian corn in 1856
was more than twice and a half the value Ct that
of cotton, which only ranks as fifth among agricul.
tural products.
GLORY be to God on high, and on earth peace
and good will towards men," These words are
to be the first message transmitted over the Allan
tic telegraph. In the whole body of literature,
nothing could be found more sublime and appro-
pirate.
The iowa Republican State Convention met at
Iowa City on the 10Th inst and nominated Gen.

Lieut.. Governor.
NHlPPING w HlTE MEN IN COUTH CAROLINA.--
The Sum pier Is. c. Waterman, states that the
Vigilant Society Of Florence on the Wilmington
andManchester railroad, recently punished with the
lash, two individuals, named Defee and Cooper,
who had been charged with negro trading, stealing
etc., and who had notice from the Society to seek
their residences in some other quarter. The lash
was applied with no light hand, and the recipients
Immediately took their departure.
A New SOUTHERN SrATE.-S.F ulsoln,a Choctaw,
and one of the most prominent Of his nation, paid
us Il visit yesterday. Mr.. Fulsom is in favor of
having the Indian Territory west of Arkansas, be-
tween the Red and the Arkansas rivers, and extend
ing westward to the one hundredth degree Of west
longitude, organized into a State, and admitted in
to the Union. We think such a step absolutely
necessary for the protection of the South. The
Choctaws andCherokees are slaveh olders and would
add another slaveholding State to the Confcderacy.
The treachery of Buchanan has given Kansas tc
the North; let the south, before it is too late, create
a barrier against this wanda! encroachment. which
is fast heming us in. These Indian tribes are
better citizens, more advanced IN the principles OF
our government and laws than the people of New
Mexico, or the mongrel adventures from foreign
nations and our own, who are to make n free State
of Kansas.-Memphis Enquirer, July 16.
The current number, July l7.) of the Illustrated

Miss S Durant from the Exhibition of the Royal

title. In no public place do the ladies appear to a
greater advantage than in the uncom promising
sculpture room Of the Royal Academy. Besides
this bust, zone of the very best Of its kind " there
is Miss Hosmer's Beatrice Cence, one of the best
statues exhibited. Another lady sculptor, Mrs.
NJ. Thorneycroft, is also there, forming a powerful
triad in the Gallery. The critic characterizes and
highly commeads this fact.
MAN-HUNTING IN New JERsEY.-ID the "Chap-

+ brief paragraph from the Belvidere IN. J.) Iutcl-
ligencer. abiding to a recent unsuccessful attempt
to capture four fugitive slaves in that place
The following extract from the same paper of a
a later date gives fuller particulars of the occur.
renee.
1.-The excitement in this community consequent
upon the attempt to return into slavery The fugitives
resident in this place, has conaiderably abated: and
F has settled down into q feeling OF deep indignation
against the persons who originated the outrageous
proceeding, and we are cow able to give fuller par.
| tieulaIs of the occurrence. The suspected fugi.
tives were four negroes, one of whom has beeh a
resident of Belvidere for thirty seven years. The

That the first named had once been a slave, was
known to every one in town, and his friends trust
ed that his character and high standing as a Christ
n ian and a man, would afford him a complete pro
q lection in our midst. The other three have only
f been known as fugitives by vague reports current
Q in town. These reports reached the cars Of
Z one John Nj. Bryan a resident of Belvide.t
f who industriously set himself TO work tC
replenish his depleted exchequer by traffic in hu
man flesh. In the course of his inquiries hi
Q learned that the three negroes belonged to thu
: Reynolds of St. Georges, Delaware, and concoet
ed with the masters a sheme for the capture o
5 the fugitves. Having once engaged in the ne
:. farious business, Bryan included his fellow towns
t man among his victims. All things were ar
ranged for concentrating the scheme; and OF
the Sd inst. the Reynolds arrived in town late il
the evening, fortified, as they thought; with the
proper papers; to reclaim their slaves. They APP
piled to Bryan for his assistance, when they fOunC
j.. out that 1t was necessary to have some local mag
9 istrate to inspect their papers, which, on examina
a ton were pronounced to be defective, and a return
to Delaware for further afidavits was necessary
The negroes, it appeared, had been on the watch
and the names and residence of the Reynolds OF
, the hotel register, together with the company the,
kept, excited suspicion, and the alarm was sound
ed, and the iugitives escaped and nave not sine
6 been heard of. Thus ended the first slaye-hunt Of
the soill Of Warren County"
' The anti Slavery Standard says:
Y The Reynolds above alluded to are. we suppose
the celebrated peach-growers of Delaware, The.
are said to be a very wealthy family. That mel
a. of such pretensions should condescend to tn
y meanness of pursuing slaves is a striking proof o
{ the degrading influence Of slavery upon human
nature. We hope the moral atmosphere of B0lvi
dere may speedily become too hot for such q mis-
= creant as John NJ. Bryan.
