We last week reported the vote cast for Mr..

Civil WAR IN omo.-A dispatch from Ci

Civil WAR IN OHIo-A dispatch from Gin
cinnati, on the Doth, says:
deputy United States Marshal Churchill land
eleven assistants, left this city last Tuesday, to
arrest four persons in Mechanicsburg, Cham
payne county, Ohio, charged with harboring fugi-
tive slaves nine months ago. The arrests were
made on Wednesday, when writ of hebeas cor
pus was taken out but before it could be served,
the United States officers were beyond the bounds
of the county. Another writ was taken out in
Greene county, and served by the Sheriff, assist
ed by large crowd of citizens. The United
States officers resisted, and several shots were
exchanged but finally the United States officers
were overpowered, taken prisoners and brought
to Springfield for trial for resisting the Sheriff
in the discharge of his duty. The greatest ex-
element prevailed. The United States Marshal
telegraphed the Secretary of the Interior to-day,
for Instructions regarding the arrest and impris-
onment of the United States officers, but the ma
ture of the instructions received in reply has not
yet transpired. Judge Leavitt, United States
District Judge, issued q writ of habeas corpus
to-day, and the Marshal has gone to Springfield
to serve it. In case resistance is offered it is
reported that the United States troops will be
called out"

A BATTLE WITH STEAMBoAT.-The st Louis
Republican of the Sd has an account of q pitched
battle between the citizens of Fort Madison and
the crew and passengers of the steamer Sara
cen, arising out of an attempt to bring to the
boat from the town negro boy who fled to es-
cape punishment for knocking down the mate
The citizens interfered and commenced throwing
stones at Captain Stran, of the Saracen and 9TH
ers who were on the main deck, slightly iniuring
some of them. BY this time many of the citi-
zens had armed themselves with muskets, shot
guns and pistols. The officers and passengers of
the. Saracen were also armed, and firing COM
menced on both sides. Which side fred the
first shot is an undecided question One thing
is certain, the firing went on briskly on both
sides for several minutes. The mate of the
Saracen was wounded By shot, Captain Stran
received two or three wounds, and others on
board were slightly injured. One man on shore
was killed by shot from the boat.
After the Saracen left Fort Madison, the
crowd on shore pursued the boat for some dis
lance up the river, and continued firing at her
while she was within shot, much endangering
the lives of passengers, and the boat was finally
compelled to put back.

Advertising Agents, of New York city, and de-
sire to add our testimony to that ototherjournals
in regard to them. In few words then, they
are, without exception. the most accommoda-

body has ever lost a cent by them we have yet
to hear oft. The aggregate amount Of our loss
es by oIner ageut1 10 quito considerable, ana
some who have finally paid up have put us to
as much trouble in collecting the accounts as
they are worth. Nearly every week we receive
advertisements from New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, which never see the light in our col
umns, but Pettingils communications are al
ways treated with respect.

Lieutenant Governor.

Gov. Wise has appointed James l.. Carr, ESQ.,,
of Kanawha county, Lieutenant Governor, to
fill the vacancy occasoned by the resignation OF
E. w. McComas. The appointment is made by
authority of that clause in the Constitution
which requires the Governor, "during the recess
of the general assembly, to fill, pro tempcre, all
vacancies in those offices for which the con-
stitution aud laws make no provision; but his
appointments to such vacancies shall be by
commissions to expire at the end of thirty
days after the commencement of the next SEES
sion of the general assembly" The Legislature
will then pass upon Mr.. Carrs claims, and con-
tinue him in office or confer the honor upon an
other person. 1t is probable that, as the prin-
cipal duty of the Lieut.. Governor is to preside
over the Senate, a member of that body will be
chosen

Drowned.

We regret to learn that little son of Mr..
Grouse, of Waynesborough, aged about five years,
was drowned in South River, on Friday last
1t seems that his father had crossed the stream
for the purpose of planting vegetables, and the
little boy in attempting to follow, without the
knowledge of his father, fell in, and was carried
some distance down the river, when he was dis
covered by several boys who were fishing. They
fore it could be obtained the unfortunate little
fellow had disappeared beneath the waves
When the body was found it was still warm, and
it is possible that he might have been resuscta-
ted but for the fact that none Of the Physicians
of the place were at home.

SLAVERY DIsoussIoN--Th New School Pres
byterian General Assembly, recently in session
at Cleveland, Ohio, got completely by the ears
on the slavery question. On the 18th day of the
session, May 28th, the report on slavery being
up, Rev. Mr.. Paynter of the Synod of Tennes-
see, native of Virginia, offered as o substitute
for the report of the committee resolution that
the Presbyterian Church will not permit any of
her ministers to preach the Gospel in the slave
holding States, without subjecting them to the
annual admonitions and reproofs of the General
Assembly. The venerable Southern patriarch
addressed the Assembly, stating the difficulties
under which Southern ministers labor but q
motion to indefinitely postpone the resolution
was carried by large vote.
VIM. P. Cutler, of Ohio, then introduced q
substitute proposing censure in the case of the
slaveholdiDg Presbytery of Lexington, South,
which was not acted upon.
On the following day, Rev. Thos. H. Clelland,
of Kentucky, read manifesto of the Southern
delegates On the tenth day of the session, June
2nd., Mr.. Dewitt, of Pennsylvania spoke on the
Slavery Report, taking Southern ground. He
charged the North, especially the Synods, as be-
ing too extreme in their measures. He believed
many of the churches in Pennsylvania would
object to have anything to do with an Abolition
General Assembly Mr.. Newton, Of Ohio, re-
piled. The eleventh day was occupied by q Vir-
ginia delegate in speech on the same subject.
A vote was taken on the Slavery question,
which resulted in the vote of yeas 1877, nays 90.
The delegates from the Northern States voted
yea unanimously. The Southern members pro-
tested.

THE RIOT Discussion. letter from Wash

still discussing the riots, and all kinds of fabul.
Gus stories are propagated, having the effect of
increasing the excitement and political animos-
ity that has already led to such terrible and de-
plorabe results. One says that four collins were
yesterday carried ont on the Baltimore road and
another tells q story of lady searching among
the killed and wounded for lost member of
her family. All the rows that may occur in
Washington for year to come will be charged
to Baltimore, as has been all the disturbances
here on election day. although the rioters were
in hundreds whilst it is well known now that
there was but fifteen, mostly halfgrown boys,
in the party from Baltimore. The Star to-day
speaks of q "Plug Ugly" who told friend that
he lived near the Bell-Air market, which is the
very heart of the sold Bloody Eighth Verify,

reader will think. He was one of a party en-
gagged in breaking down the shrubbery and pail.

The AdminjstratIon and Kansas.

An influential portion of the Southern De-
mocracy is complaining loudly of the official con-
duct of Gov. Walker and Lieut.. Gov. Stanton in
Kansas, overlooking the fact, however, that they
are acting under instructions from the Executive
at Washington. The Richmond South says
Gov. Walkers official language is sufficient to
convict him of purpose to betray the South,
and to delicer Kansas into the poecer Of tie A
bolitionists. His private talk is all in the same
strain. Thus, Mr. Perrin heard him say at a
dinner party, in the presence of thirty or forty
gentlemen. "that if he (Walker) lent his aid or
influence in any way towards the formation of a
slave State in Kansas, he should consider him.

Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, and is intro
duced to people by the Free State Governor,

In virtue OF his Office as Governor OF Kansas,
the Hon. Robert j Walker hes nothing to do
but enforce the execution of the laws. iSut he

So much. says the Petersburg lntelligencer,
for the election Of James RuGhspen, which was
advocated as the only means of securing Kansas
to the South
But this is not ALL The Hon. Mr. Keitt made
speech in Cheraw county, South Carolina, in
which he was very free-spoken about Walker,
Stanton and the "National Democracy" He
expressed his want of confidence in Walker and
Stanton, both of whom he denounced as unprin-
oipled trading politicians, who were ready to
sell the shareholders interest in Kansas for q
price. He also spoke OF the National Democra'
tic party-"of its want of princ land its readi
ness at all times to sell the South at any price
which would secure to its leaders the glorious
spoils of victory" Mr.. Keitt, be it remembered
was an earnest advocate of Buchanan's election
and stumped the State of Virginia during the

WAR; ON SMALL SoALE.-The Indians in
Florida, who are giving the Government so much
trouble, number ITO men and boys capable Of
bearing arms. Gen. Harvey, an able and dis
tinguished officer, with large force of regulars
and volunteers, has been after these 10 Indians
with a sharp stick since January LIST. All his
operations are said to have been marked by I'M
usual skill and energy. The result so far is, that
five of the Indians have been killed, and three
women and two children have been captured !
This is all, except that the captives report that
the Indians have been kept constantly on the
wing, never stopping an hour in security, and
with no time to plant. The Florida paper which
mentions these facts, in long article on the
subject, says that the Indians can now be gotten
rid of if operations are continued during the
summer; the Indians having held out thus long
with the anticipation that, as usual, operations
would be suspended during the summer months
and enable them to take fresh start

THE PREDICTED COMET is now visible in the
northwestern part of the heavens, near Ursa
Major The assertion of the French astronom-
err, that the comet would strike the earth, seems
to have met with general skepticism.. ut is
useless to speculate" says Professor Mitchell,
sin reference to the possible consequences of a
collision with comet, as there is scarcely one
chance in millions that it can occur. Science
has as yet discovered no guarantee for planet
against the possible shock of a comet, but an ex-
animation of the delicate adjustments of our own
system and those of Saturn and Jupiter, would
seem to indicate that in all past time no derange-
meut has ever occurred from such q cause"
