FREIoHT STEAMERS, of light tonnare,

are very much needed on the Jamesriyer to carry
produce to market, and We have no doubt that If 4
line were established, the farmers along the river
would readily take stock and guarantee to 1t a
liberal patronage. On all the farms along the
river there are now thousands Of dollars worth Of
fruits and vegetables actually wasting because the
farmers have no means Of sending such articles
to market. II there were small freight steamers
running regularly on James river, as there are ou
the Northern rivers, farmers would pay more at
tention to the raising of poultry and the cultva-
tion of fruits and vegetables. the markets of Nor
folk and Richmond would be better supplied, aud
the farmers would be enriched by the sale Of their
products.

Fun IN New YoRK.-A correspondent of the
Boston Post, writing from town 10 New York, has
the following amusing accoun, Of "fugtive slave

name Of which town tortures couldn't drag from

The Saline City Now, the Inhabitants of this city
have great and abiding horror Of the fugitive
slave law. They have fugitive slave bell, TO be
rang only upon dire emergency they have fugitive
slave vigilance Committees and cooked and
primed generally for United States Marshals
Now, some wicked man, name unknown once
telegraphed from Buffalo that the slave catcbers
had seized a colored gentleman in that city, aud
that they and their victim would be 10 the Saline
City by the II SO train.
Immediately the fugitive slave bell was rupc:
its effect was marvellous 1t reminded one of Mrs
Heman's Blended Bow" or Roderick Dhu's Fiery
Cross.
Every colored person who heard it dropped
whatever be was doing and hasteued to the SQUARE

gentlemen half shaved, boot blacks lefe inceused

Caused late breskfasters to go hungry, and in the
twipkling of an eye the square was filled with
dense mass of 'thick darkness that could be

The crowd were told of their cause of their be-
ing called together, and we're admouished to be
