one Of our first families, went into the
kitchen of their house to tamusc them
selves with some trihc OF pet cooking"
which, by the way we think, is rather
singular amusement, and being dressed in
somewhat thin robes, that were subjected to
the modern tremendous swell, incident to
a series of whalcbonc rotund rigging in the
shape of s'hoops," and the draught caused
By an open door adding to the swell, the
robes came in contact with the fire, and a
s'il8re up was the result, which was soon
duelled by faithful old negro woman, who
threw bucket of gyeasy water oyor the
dear young cooking DANES, which soon put
the fire out, and made them "clear the

FREE NEGRO o0LIEGE PROPOSED.

FREE NEGRO COLLEGE, PROPOSED.
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Dajfy Ae,cs, says the proposed
institution of large free negro college in
the Federal Metropolis, whore free negroes
from all parts of the United States could be
brought and educated under the very nos
trils Of Congress, is but low device IF the
Abolitionists to tantalise tie South They
are in earnest about making this city the
site Of such an institution, but there is
enough of white manliness in this District
to resist the concentration of free negroes
within our midst to disturb our domestic
peace and to impair the permanency of
Washington as the seat Of Government
The people Of Washington owe it to them
selves to prevent the location Of such col
lega here. Under their charter they can
impose an unlimited tax upon free negroes
coming into the city. Let their corporation
place the tax at 81 900 per head, and then
we will see how many students. tie phiian.

that all offences committed in the Ter

tried before the Territorial Courts and
BY the Territorial laws. Starting upon
this pretext, while the Court was in
progress on the 18th ult. the Mormon
members Of the bar aud others of the

the wisdows, and then, with rcvolvcn At

Judge Stiles yielded, dismissed the Ju-

the crier to pronounce il adjourned sine

the Court adjourned sine die, but also
stated that il would meet the next day,
for the purpose of transacting any Ter
ritorial business that might be brought
before it. The Judge, At the bidding Of
the Danites, notified the United States
Marshal, Mr.. Dodson, that after that day
his presence would not be required in the
Court,-That q Territorial business was
to be transacted, the Territorial Marshall

might appoint to assist him, be consider

account of the expenses of the Court
would be kept by the Territorial Marshal
and rendered to the United States Mar

ing asked BY Gentle, directly after the
adjournment Of the Court whether it was
possible that he could imagine his pro-
ceedings and decisions just, frankly &C.
kuowledged that he knew they were nei-
ther, and added: "you understand my
