Our POSTAL AR MOMENTS WITH SPAM.-
We call the attention the government to the
fact that the postal arrangement concluded some
four months ago between England and Spain is
about going into operation. The matter, we be-
licve, had been in negotiation some seventeen
years, and was finally concluded during the
Ministry Of Lsturitz, statesman Of the English
school, and formerly and since Envoy to ST.
Jamea 1t win be worth while to inquire how
far the passage of letters to and from this coun-
try in the same direction may be affected by it.
Certain it is that to this time letters are sent
to Spain from this country that however we'll
covered with ten cent stamps, the postage is re
quired to be paid anew for the distance there
from England. The articles Of this treaty
twenty-four in number-are draw up with care
and clearness, and are signed the 21st of May
Last. No better opportunity is likely soon to
occur for putting forward like measure by US
than under the business-like administration of
O'Donnell. One not for the bare transmission of
letters through England and France only, but
to and from Spain and her adjacent islands
to her West Indian possessions through the
United States. At present our public documents
are unknown in that country, as are our news
papers, except as they are read from through the
f<taitions of the periodicals Of London and Paris
according as they deem the articles proper or
important The moment Is most favorable, we
say, and another so COED may not present itself

CAPTURE OF TWO RUNAWAY SLAVES BY
UNITED STATES OFFICERS,

A couple of runaway slaves, owned by Robert
W. lngraham, Of Mason county, Ky, were captured
in this city on Thursday evening, and cent across
the river before they had half a chance to raise an
objection. 1t seems that the boys" who are fine,
muscular fellows, of the deepest ebony color, and
valued at 5000. upon other soil than that of Ohio,
escaped from slaVely some time last March, and
Immediately made their way to Canada, where they
have since resided. Not content with securing
their own freedom, however, they made arrange.
ments in Mason county, to run off some eight or
ten others. With this view they were in active
CORES pondence with friends.
Unfortunately for them, ono of their letters, de-
failing the conclusion of their plans, and naming
the day they would arrive in this city, was inter.
cepted, or fell into the hands of some person who
gave information to Mr.. lngraham, who made ar,
engagements to capture his runaway chattles. With
this view he came to this city and procured a war
rant from United States Commissioner NewhalI,
which he placed in the hands of Deputy Marshal
u, T.. Churchill, who called to his assistance Dep.
dty Marshal Manson, officer Harvey and John jeff
reys. For a day or two the party watched the
Hamilton and Dayton depot, but the negroes hap
pened 20 come by the Little Miami. SO that their
arrival was not known until they had been in town
for n day.
The officers ascertained Thursday afternoon that
the boys were to take the train that evening for
New Richmond, thence to Ripley, for the purpose
of crossing into Mason county. An arrangement
was then made with a city hackman to drive to the
depot, and when the pair Of runaways came with.
in ha;ling distance, he was to cry out, Here's a
hack for New Richmond" The arrangement was
successful, and the negroes fell into the trap. The
officers followed IN another carriage through seve-
raj streets, until they arrived at the corner of Pike
and Congress streets, when at a preconcerted sig.
nal, the driver Of the hack with the negroes stopped
and the officers threw open the doors and jumped
in, and before the slaves had time to demonstrate,
or use the weapons with which they were armed,
they were securely manacled with government
"wristlets."
The party then drove to the United States Mar. ,
shafs office. in the Custom House building. and
Commissioners Newhall was summoned between
nine and ten o'clock at night. lie objected TO go

upon the roadside, but upon recovering his pow,

and complained to the authorities, who granted
him warrants for the arrest Of the individuals en-.

A SLAVE DRIVEN TO DESPERATION BY

Mr.. EDIroR: Enclosed you will fnd an accoun,
of The recent examination Of a slave for killing Il
cannot say murdering) his master, in an adjoining
county of Gilmer, | have to add that the slave has
since been tried, convicted and sentenced to be
hung in October, but the opinion seems to be very
general in this region that it was a case of justif-
able homicide. According to the statement of the
slave, which is generally credited. the master was
in the habit of whipping him till his back was
covered with bloody gashcs and his strength cx'
hausted, aud then to revive him, he would wash
the bloody back with brine, and arouse him by
the application Of a red.hot iron. Let mo add, to
the honor of human nature that, | have only heard
the most decided expression of horror at such cru
city, and | INDUCED the hope that Governor Wise
will i~nterpose to save the life of this poor outraged
negro, and let us pray that this additional proof of
the natural and legitimate result Of entrusting to
fail man arbitrary power over his fellow'citzens
to the folly and wickedness Of tolerating u system
that admits not to FAY encourages, such abuses.

OPINION OF the FREE CohoRED PEOPLE IN REGARD
TO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to colonization out Of
the country. in any form, wnkens at once the spir,
tied indignation Of the great mass Of free colored
people every where. IIeie and there one disbear,
tened by tho crushing power of prejudice may be
found it's advocate, but in general, the few who ad-
vocate it, do it from some uworthy and interested
motives. And this feeling seems by no means abs.
ting.
The colored people Of Chicago, recently held d
meeting to discuss the question; after the discuss.
ion with great unanimity they assigned tho follow
ing excellent reasons for their disapproval Of oil
colonization measures.
1st. Because we believe nature has not pre-.
scribed any particular locality on this broad and
beautiful earth for the special benefit and puubliHf
privilege of any ore class to the entire excluioD of
oil others, not purely Angelo Saxon, consequently
in this important regard, oil men have a natural
right to live where i, may seem best to them.
81. Because this scheme would have q tenden.
cy to foster pro,slavery prejudice, u%nsottle and dis
tract the colored people.
3D.. Especially do we regret it as ~impolitic at
this time, as it affords our political enemies nm op,
portunity of seizing on this occasion as a fit one,
out of which to manufacture political capital.
4th. Because we think it would tend to rcvive
the old colonization scheme, against which we have
long since protested.
9Th. Above all do we oppose it, because We
have no certain apprehension that it would actual
~ fenofit even the COO, 900 free people of color, far
less the 100000 slaves who are not permitted to
act for themselves.
9th. Because we believe we could DO more like
ly to promote the general welfare of both free and
slave by uniting our industry, capital and skill,
right here in our own native country, and continue
to labor and wait therefore,
Resolved, That as we have been with this peo-
pie from the beginning, we still intend to remain
with them to the end for we have already planted
our trees in the American soil, and, BY the help of
God, we mean to repose under the shade thereof.

DR.. McUally was next introduced on behalf Of
the prisoner, and questioned as to his mind and
idiotism also ns 20 the scars on his back, their age
&c. whether or not his brain was injured by n
blow received from his master last spring, on which
occasion he was sent Tor. lie answered that the
skull was fractured Mt that time, but did not think
the brain had changed its locality, or the prisoners
mind was impaired FROM the wound. lilo believed
tho prisoner to be Of sound mind. As to the
wounds on his back, q great many were very old
aud some few that had been inflicted ON old wounds
were recent but not very. The burns, he said,
were from two to three weeks old but did not know
whether they were put there or came 10y accident.

The SLAYER had on board three hundred and eight

and its human cargo was brought into Charleston,
