"ToTHER SIDE OF JoRDAN."-We find the
following in the gainesville Telegraph:
"Some three or four weeks since, the press
gave an account of the escape of ten slaves
from Virginia, in one company-how they
were overtaken-and fierce battle, in one of
the southern counties of PENNSYLVANIA, in
which the fugitives were gloriously triumphant,
one of the noble fellows heroically throwing
himself before his old master just at the mo-
ment comrade was to deal the blow of death
with other intensely interesting particulars,
all showing how well the brave fellows were
gifted for freedom" Since, there have been
many inquiries as to the final fortune of these
fugitives, and you will undoubtedly, Mr.. Editor,
be the bearer of earnestly desired intelligence
to hundreds of your readers, when you tell
them that all of the ten, last Sunday morning,
planted their weary feet upon the free soil of
CANDIDA land where mems rights are not
graded by the hue of their skin. That Sab
bath was indeed day of rest to these hunted
fugttives. JOHN II. FRENCH.

MEssRs DENNIsroUN & Co-This eminent
Glasgow, Liverpool and London firm lately
issued a circular, announcing that on the Both
inst they will be prepared to complete the en-
tire liquidation Of their debts, which, when
they called their creditors together, one year
since amounted to G2,142,000.
The two instruments anticipated by the
aforementioned circular were not due till
Dec. 81 and Jan. 30 next. The confidence
expressed in the firm at the time of their diff
ficulties has thus been fully justified. 1t is
stated in the Times (city article) that their ul-
innate losses will prove much smaller than
could have been originally hoped under the
most sanguinc calculations.

DEMOCRATIC DIsAFFEcTIoN.-Th Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Times
says:
g understand that at dinner party in
Philadelphia, few days ago, where quite
number of the leading politicians of Pennsyl-
wanna were present, toast to the health of
the President Of the United States, although
combined with a similar compliment 10 tRe
Governor of Pennsylvania, was dshonored
upon the distinct ground that Mr.. Buchanan
had so VIGOROUSLY Endorsed fraud and perjury
and made the contamination and success of
these crimes test Of Democratic faith The
fact is worthy of mention as an illustration of
the depth of bitterness INDUCED in by men
who for many years were the Presidents
warmest and most serviceaDle friends"

The Springfield Republican, in speaking of
the municipal election, in this city, says it is
difficult to get at the real issue in Worcester !;
although one side says it was temperance, the
other denies it, and claims that the men chos-
en- are temperance men of character and in
tegrity. Col Bullock's own speech was
happy, eloquent, and every way creditable in
manner and matter and we have no anxiety
that Worcester will suffer in reputation or from
bad government under his administration.
