The Bulletin says about the time that the
mail steamer Sonora proceeded to sea, yes
terdsy. report gained currency, that Gar
chy" the alleged slave, had been transferred
from the County Jail to the Revenue Cutter,
and would be shipped for Panama. 1t is
hardly necessary to state that such report
was altogether without foundation, and that
Arcby bad been all the time aud is still, iu
the County Jail The man who claims him,
G. A. Stovali, has taken his departure he
left on the steamer, and will probably not
return to the State again. 1t is supposed by
many persons. that Rig evidence before
Court Of Justice, would have shown absolute
ly that Archy is not a fugitive slave. 1t is
said that he has left power of Attorney,
empowering Samuel H. Brooks to receive and
ship Archy to him, should the boy be pro-
nounced his property. II is also rumored,
that Stovall feared q criminal prosecution
would be instituted against him. Many per-
sons particularly interested in Arcby, com.
plain that hts claimant was allowed 70 leave
the State thus. without being taken up for
perjury, which they claim to be apparent in
one or the other Of the two affidavits made
by him before che U. ). Commissioner. Geo.
Penn johnson. On the other hand it is ru-
mored that he had received an advance of
one thousand dollars on Archy, and there.
fore did not feel much pecuniary interest in
the disposition OF the alleged slave.
