TINS ILtiSois coNrrsr--Dougss and Lin
coin, the illinois, rivals, had the Hrst Of their
seven Joint debates at Ottawa, Saturday tae 2lst
The talk on both sides was mostly personal. =
A Douglas account says, "DougIas was borne
off IN triumph, leaving Lincoln paralyzed on
the stand, with bis mouth open and that 6nel-
". being unable to walk, he was carried away
A republican report says "t is Acknowledged
universally that Douglas Is used up mau," -
that Lincoln chawed him up completely" and
that Douglas hasteued out Of town by the ear
lest train, while Owen Lovejoy "divested himself
Of his crayat and collar, opened his vest aud
shirt" and seized the democratic bull by the
horns and administered to him terrible Aagel-
lotiou;' "eyery sentence fell Kissing hot upon
the conscience Of his Douglas listeners II our
readers cannot understand the merits Of the
days debate from these particulars says the
Springfield Rspublican, We will add, after hav-
Jog read the speeches of both Douglas and Lin
coln that the former seems to us the best ar
gued aud most adroitly conceived, aud the lat
ter to have the most truth in it. Douglas was
smart but mighty unfair. Lincoln was enter
tanning, had the most friends in the crowd, and
defended himself handsomely froa the attacks
of his opponent. but did not press home upon
him the points which be should have done.
A CLrE--A trace has been found to the
mysterious fate of Mrs. Brennan, wife Of Capt
BREySAS, of Staten Island, whose disappear
auoe, as was supposed, from the most public
street in N Y. City, in open daylight was no
tieed some week or two since, in the papers Of
that city. It has been ascertained that she
crossed the ferry, procured carriage aud driv-
er at livery stable, and set off about oclk
in the evening. A man was seen to take a seat
in the carriage with her, but whether as an at
tcudant or not, is not known, The police are
ferreting the matter, and do not according to
the Tribune disclose all they know. The pro-
babiity seems to be, that the lady was the vic
tim of lust, with murder, superadded for con-
cealment.
SLAYER CArrURED.-Thc brig Echo, Of Bal
timore, entered Charleston harbor on the 9th
ult with 300 Africans on board. She was
captured Eve days previous off the north coast

affair has created much excitement
Dispatches have been forwarded to the
U. S. Marshall at Charleston to move the
recently captured slaves to Fort Sumpter

tindac, Esq, of Cleveland, as an Assoc late

The CABLE CELEBRAnoE in n. Y :, on Wednes-
day, was probably the most brilliant and impos
ing affair thatever took place in that city The
programme, in liberal expenditure, and extent of
design has had no parallel in that unparalleled
city. twas altogether too extensive for US
to give even an abstract of it. We were ena-
bled, through the aid Of our Park street friend
and electrician, who sent US a couple of bot
