GREAT WALKING FEAT.-A gen
tleman, a citizen of Annapolis, Md, left
that city few days ago, on wager that
he could walk from there to Baltimore
in eleven hours, carrying with him forty
pounds extra weight. The task, rather
difficult one, was duly undertaken and
performed in nine hours, thus winning
the bet; not, however, without consider.
able fatigue. The distance is about for.
ty miles, making over four miles PEI
hour. The hero of this exploit, after
reaching Baltimore, refreshed himsel
with playing several games of Billiards
He would not make bad match for thu
distinguished Ben. Perley Poore, o

VICTIMS OF INTEMPERANCE.-Joh

small harness shop in Keeseville, n. Y,
was found dead in his room on Monday

perate habits, and gallon jug half full

was found by the bedside. The Coroner
having been summoned, an inquest was
held, whose verdict was death from in
temperance The body was taken care
of by the Overseers of the Poor.

TROUBLE AMONG THE RUMMIEs.-
The goth was blue Monday for some
half-a-dozen foreigners" who wander
ed into our city from the surburbs, for
the purpose Of kicking up row on the
Sabbath. They succeeded in procuring
the strongest kind of incentive to riotous
and disorderly conduct, in the shape of
some very bad rum, at the house of one
Lewis King and also at the residence of
Michael Cleary. The parties directly
implicated, through the prompt action of
one of the titheing men of the Catholic
Church, the constable and others-were
Accommodated with lodgings in the Yer
genness black hole" dignifed by the
title Of Jail by some. They were brought
up before his honor the Mayor on Mon
day, searchingly examined, and disclosed
the places were they obtained their Ii
qaor. The amount of fines and costs
they required TO pay was $53,76. They
appeared perfectly satisfied that they had
been most egregriously mistaken in sup
posing that our city was the promised
land Of loaferdom. Warrants were i'm.
mediately issued against the parties &C.

RESISTANCE TO LAW IN MIss1ssIP.
PI.-The Holly Springs (Miss.) Demo
crat contains the proceedings of a public
meeting held at Byhalia, for the purpose
of resisting the enforcement of certain
acts passed at the last Legislature, pro-
hibiting the circulation of bank bills I'm.
der the denomination of IS, and the
punishment of slaves with more thar
thirty-nine lashes for any one offence
They denounced the first as "inconven
lent, unnecessary and intolerable," ant
the second as "abusive of power, insult
ing and injurious to the South" They
also determined to disregard both thu
laws, and to resist by force any attemp
to punish their violation, " throwing tn,
responsibility of what may follow resist
ance upon the Legislature, who are tn
aggressors."

HONOR TO ALBANY-The people of
Albany had May festival on the first
inst, and spent the day in setting out
trees. Some 200 were planted in the
cemetery, and eight men promised to
line the river road with them for two
miles before the close of the month
Well done, Albany! but weary not in
we'll doing. Continue TO plant trees on
each first day of May for every year
until your cemetery, and roads, and gar,

"Injustice, like justice, is a two-edged
sword, which can cut the oppressor as
well as the oppressed. The bred Scott
decision has already been turned to the
advantage of the negro. Last week q
negro was sued for debt in a Michigan
court. He put in the plea, that, under
the recent decision, he was not citizen
but thing-not humanity, but real es
tate-and therefore not indictable. The
plea was sustained, and the creditor wen

STRIKE ON THE BALTIMORE AND
OHIO RAILRoAD.-Baltimore, May 1.
The strike on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad resulted in a very serious riot
this afternoon. Four freight trains were
started out in charge of armed guards, in
obedience to the proclamation of the
Governor, issued to-day. All the trains
were mobbed near Ellicott's Mills by the
rioters. Some thirty muskets were free
from the cars, and two of the rioter:
wounded. One train got through, bu
the others were uncoupled by the rioters
and had to return to the city.

rEr ANOTHER SEIZURE.-If the traf-
fc in rum is not utterly exterminated
from our town, it will not be for lack of
energy and vigilance on the part of our
States Attorney, Justices, and officers.
Last week Thursday, large quantity of
liquor was seized, contained in no jug,
barrel or cask, but in the mortal body of
one of our citizens, whom it rendered
very uncomfortable both to himself and
others. 1t not being quite convenient to
spill the liquor it was put in jail to evap-
crate, which being done, the then sobe:
man was brought before Justice French,
TO give an account as to how and where
he procured the liquor. He told the stale
story that he had bought his liquor Of
some strangers, whom he met on the
bridge in Paddock's village. After 6
sharp crOss-examination he admitted tha
he had known the mans name, but coulC
not now remember it, whereupon he wa
advised by the Justice to return to thu
jail and endeavor to revive his recollec
tons. At our last advices, he still re

IMPORTANT FROM KANsAs-THE

the New York TTmeS.) Advices have
been received here from Kansas, by the

under the leadership of Gov. Robinson,
have resolved to cooperate with the en-
deavors of the Administration to secure
fair expression of the will of the peo-
pie, in relation to the question of slavery,
and viii abandon their previous policy Of
inactivity. This is not matter of sur
mise, but is the explicit declaration o.
Robinson himself, and it has been com.

turc to be excluded from its columns,
and a merchant or a mechanic who
may be unfortunate will not be morti-
fled by seeing his name 'gazcttcd in
the Independent. 1t would have been
we'll if the conductors of that paper
had arrived at this determination long
ago, for it has served no purpose except
to feed the craving appetite ofthc seek

effected in that quarter.
