A SIeMF1cASr Act OF PRESIDENT
BUcuANAN.--Some time ago one Captain
Smith was arrested by the Federal au-
thorities at New York, on d charge Of be-
ing concerned in, the Slave Trade. His
offence was capital crime, and the case
was perfectly clear against him, but to
avoid the chance of his getting off by
some bubble or pretense set up by him,
of not being a citizen Of the United States,
the prosecution consented to accept a plea
of guilty for a minor offence. Under
this plea he was sentenced to term Of
imprisonment and fine of 8 1000. Dr.
ring his imprisonment he freely boosted
to those who visited him Of his connect
ion with the slave trade, and his special
relish for the business His term Of i'm
prisonmentl having expired, President
Buchanan has remitted hes fine and set
him free 80.

The Michigan famine is sadly pictured
by a,wriler from Detroit, who says that
in Gratiot county he saw woman who
sustained her sick husband and two chill
dren on maple sugar and leeks several
days before she could get other relief /;
she then had to carry the provisions sew
eral miles on her back. This woman had
taken care Of her sick husband since last
August, and her family of two children,
besides which she made 100 pounds of
maple sugar, cleared the ground and hoed
in two acres of spring wheat and planted
SEINE corn and potatoes. She was habit
ed in tattered garments. lna t.aa
> Another family of a father and three
daughters, aged fifteen, twelve and ten,
said they lived on milk, maple sugar and
leeks for for week after they could bor-
row nothing more. before supplies reach
ed them
