be- The New Haven, Connecticut REGISTER thinks
that we are mistaken In regard to the fugitive slave
who got away from this port in schooner, and
was off from The United States Commissioners
Office i'll New London, Conn., by Judge Brandagee and
others. The Register thinks that if there had been ev-
dcncc, the negro would have been detained and re-
turned. Now, there 1ras evidence. The negro
admitted it himself as stated by the New Lon
don Chronicle Of the fact there was neither doubt
nor qucstion--ncithcr Judge Brandegee nor any
other of the appointment citizens " of New London
doubted it, nor do we believe that a bit more res
pect would have been paid by these persons to
the rights Of the owner in person. The history of
the past is too plain to admit of doubt on that
point We take the liberty of quoting from the Reg
iSter itself of the 9th instant to sustain our view of
the transaction The Register, a Democratic paper,
which goes for sustaining the law thus answers the New
London Chronicle, Black Republican
The New London Chronicle tries to excuse the con-
duct of its partizans in that town. who recently run Off
fugitive slave by saying that the slave was not legally
beld that no claimant for hin appeared" &c There
had not been time for either The editor knows he yas

in which the slave came to New London to say nothing
of the equity of ownership-requred that he Should be

FEVER AND FRosr.-The New Orleans Crescent of
the 9th instant, in reporting the Talk on Change"
says:
There was, of course the usual talk sickness and
its continuance 1t will its course and would
ere this have materially decreased had it not been for
the influx of strangers. We shall not have to wait for
frost for its entire cessation, if unacclmaed persons
will refrain from coming into the city.
In 1924, in 1929, in $780, in l847, in 1858, the fe
yer ceased before frost How it in Cuba where there
has seldom been weather cold enough Tor frost! The
fever comes and goes in the spring OF the year. or in
June and Juy-runs its course without the intervention
of cold or frosty weather
There was change in the weather yesterday morn
ing but no chilling blasts followed the very light North
erIy winds. Undoubtedly, it can be safely assumed
that the epidemic has near its course. The talk
is that the diagnosis of the fever is little better
dcrstood by the medical profession than at the com
mencement of the epidemic. In fact it is more than ap
parent that the disease very little better understood
its general management any more successful than 1t
thirty and fifty years ago, IN the days of Doctors
Flood, Davidson, Rogers, ker Randolph, Mercer, Neu
and Marshall, whoselmode ofpractice and dependence
was on the lancet, and calome with little jalap They
used to phebotomze patient till scarcely drop OF
of blood remained in She system yet about great
percentage of the attacked recovered during this
son. or in 1858, in! lS47. The talk is, that it will
be many years before the mysteries of this fever of the
country will be understood.
1t is hop cd that the medical writers who assert that
only onctcnth in ten that attacked die, will
prove the assertion. When we see three four, more
in families consisting Of eight ten persons fall victims
to the disease is it not making great demand the
creduty of the public expect they coincide in such
report?
In the meantime the inquiry is made when will it
swer for absentees to return? This is hard question
to be answered until have change in the weather
the change yesterday unless it grows colder within
few hours, will fall back to 81 So deg. Fahrenheit
