SLAVE CATcHERs BAFFLED.-There was q
good deal of excitement in Mechanicsburg
and vicinity, on Tuesday last, caused by an
attempt on the part of five Kentuckians, ac-
companied by Deputy Marshall from Gin
cianati, to arrest fugitive slave named Ad-
Olson.
They made a descent upon the cabin,
which is about mile from Mechancsburg,
early in the morning, but Addison in the
meantime had taken refuge in the loft,
through a hole barely sufficient to admit his
hugh body, he being a remarkably large and
stoute negro. Some one of the Kentucky
gentlemen mounted the ladder, with a double
basrelled gun in hand, to ascend to the lot
He had scarcely got his head and shoulders
through the hole, when Addison fired upon
him, the ball striking the gun in front of the
Kentuckians breast and glanced off, which
saved his life. This reception caused the
chiyalrous Kentuckian to descend the ladder a
good deal faster than he went up, and finding
that he was not killed, fred up the hole
through the roof, and retreated from the
house. BY this time the courage of the party
had fairly oozed out at the ends Of their an
gers, and no further attempt was made to
ascend the loft.
These facts were soon known in the town,
when quite a crowd came out, and the Ken
tukians aud Deputy Marshal left the neigh
borhood in double quick time, and have not
since returned UrbanG Citizen

WAsHINGToN, May 20 -Information has been
received in this city, by which il appears that the
difficulty in entering Austria is now increased by
the new passport system, which makes it necessa-
ny that the passport shall be given up at the IRON
tier. Travellers will therefore have to enter at
the principal routes, if their passports be not in
proper form. A use for Austria cannot be OBJ
tanned of the Austrian Legation in Frankfort,
unless the passport has been already verified
by the Austrian Minister in Washington, Lon
don, or Paris, or unless occasionally, through
courtesy, when it has the else of an American
minister abroad. The Austrian Legation takes
no notice of a, commercial or consular rise
The festivities at Lord Naper's continued up to
o'clock this morning. In addition to the dis
tnguished guests mentioned in last nights dis
patch, were the Secretaries of the War and Ma
Wy, the officers Of the latter in uniform.

INTERESTING FROM WAsHINGToN.-W Wash
sngto@, May 2S.-Thc excitement about
walkers return is intense, though not word
has been received from him by his friends
here, nor has the Secretary of the Navy re-
ceived any dispatch on the subject The
Navy Department do not credit the report of
the capituation with Capt. Davis of the st.
Mary's he having, it is said, no authority to
entertain any such proposition 1t is under
stood, however, that Capt. Davis was IN.
structed to render Walker such assistance as
he might need; and the threat to take the
schooner Granada was only blind to afford
the latter pretext for surendering.
1t is confidently predicted that Walker will
return in ninety days, at the head OF five
thousand men.
Mr.. Morse, late Minister to New Granada,
discredits the report that the Republic had
ceded TO England the islands in Panama bay.
1t had before been rendered to the British
Minister near the government, and positively
declined in view of our treaty stipulations.
learn that Mr.. Morse urged upon our
government to seize this island if indemnity
was refused us and hold it until settlement
was had. 1t the report proves true, our gov
ernment will take possession of the Isthmus.
Gov. Broome of Florida has requested that
the regiment of regular troops be substituted
by mounted volunteers, to be raised in that
State, for the purpose of prosecuting hostilities
against the Indians vigorously during the
summer. The War Department has assented
to this proposition, and will cause to be mus
tered into the service of the United States for
that purpose not exceeding ten companies of
such volunteers.-Co Cor NeU York Herald.

The SHOOTING OF AN sAMERIcAN AT CAL
LAo.-A letter from Callao contains the fol-
lowing particulars of the accidental shooting
of the clerk of the American Consul at Call
lao, by a soldier -
"On the oath, whilst the funeral obsequies
of Gen. Plaza were being celebrated, an alarm
was spread that Vivancos troops were disem-
barking. The soldiers discharged the blank
cartridges in their muskets, to load with ball,
and thereby added considerably to the confu-
sion. During this excitement, Mr.. Eaton,
the clerk of the American Consul went to
the top of the consular building to watch the
proceedings, and received bullet wound from
q soldier in the street, which unfortunately
proved fatal. Mr.. Eaton's death is univer-
sally regretted among all the residentsin Call
lao. In the evening of the same day, Gen.
Canseco paid visit to the U. S. ship John
Adams, to express his regret for the death of
Mr., Eaton,''
