Trim of the Canada over the Rapids

The fine steamer Canada has followed the
America safely down the rapids Of the St Law
renee. The two boats cost nearly half million
Of dollars, and they are objects of curiosity al
Montreal Whether the boats will be employed
between Montreal and Quebec, or form a line
f,,n ST Johns to Portland and Boston, or be
taken to England, to be exhibited, is yet unde-
termined. Some of the leaps made by these
vessels of 800 feet in length, were six or eight
feet in depth, and the trip was regarded as
neck or nothing experiment The first rapids
passed, the Long. Sault, are at least seven miles
long. and extremely rOcgh, the boiling water
beaying ND from eight to twelve feet high' and
d,sbing about the rocks like the ocean IN a Vio-
lent storm. The Canada leapt the seven miles
in fifteen minutes
The rapids of Split Rock, heretofore deemed
impassible by any vessel more than two hundred
feet in length, were next reached The account
says;
This was the most dangerous part ot tie
passage, it being necessary to make curve IA, q,

American Horses In England.

1t is probable that Mr.. Ter. Brock knows what
he Is about, and so some of the English sport
ing gentlemen think. At the EPSON meeting
the American colt Babylon run a huntred
yards behind until he came nearly to the end of
the race, and be was then rushed up close to the
other nags. The London News suggests that
this style Of running was intended as ruse to
throw dust in the eyes of the handicapPers for
some future and more important event Mr..
Ten Brock has two nominations for his hosses
in the GoodwoOd Cup, besides the following:

appointment" None such want place behind

and the good of the Party" influenced their
action in the premises.
1t is probable that the new Postmaster Will
not take possession of the office until the lst oi
July, which will commence a quarter; and thai
the Post Office will be continued on Water

WARREN CORRESPONDENCE.
4 Fagilirs sIa.s Essllsneal-Lunea La.e.

WARREN, June Is, 1858.
EDIToR DAILY LEADER Quite an excite
ment sprung up yesterday morning in our quiet
little town, about fugitive slave. Some of our
citizens learned yesterday morning that fugi-
tive from Missouri passed through our village
Sunday afternoon, with the owner and Marshal
in close pursuit, and much comment and feeling
ensued. 1t seems that the owner met the fugi
tive near Youngstown, but feared to attempt
his arrest alone. he then went back to the
village, before Francis Barclay, Esq, who is
sued a warrant of some kind which was placed
in the hands of Calvin Predmore, marshal,
constable, OF slave catcher, and, armed with the
document, the owner and officer made pursuit.
The fugitive. as they supposed, came to War
ren, and they came here, stopped at hotel, and
began to look around. They were soon seen in
conversation with q colored man of suspicious
character, and presently they went to the hotel,
took their horses and pursued the fugitive west
| from Warren on the R1venna road. These facts
became known, and an inquiry was mlde into
the case by the other c5lOred people here, and
it was found that the fugitive came TO this town
in company with a colOred man by the name Of
| Ben Scott, who sent him west upon the rail-
road track that afterwards, and IN but a short
time, the owner bribed Scott TO give informa-
ton Of the course of the runaway, and they took
the county road for several miles running be-
side the railroad in the pursuit, Scott admitted
Yesterday morning that he received $50 for the
information.
Yesterday morning the colored men here took
Scott by force below the Town, upon the Rail
Road track, and there gave him very severe
whipping. He then came to town and tired sew
eral attorneys for assistance, who all refused to
give him any, save one but Scott was given 10
understand that severer measures would be re-
sorted to if he did not desist, and fearing that
judge Lynch would pronounce severer judg-
ment than what would be agreeable, he gave
walking bail and has not since been heard Of.
1t was rumOred last evening that the fugitive
was caught between this town and Ravenna,
somewhere, but what credence can be given the
information / am not able to soy
The castigstiOn given to Scott was severe
one and clearly violation Of all law and order,
and the perpetrators are amenableto the penal
ties of the law but the outrage of Scott upon
the laws of hospitality, humanity and liberty,
were SO great as 10 Justify IN a measure the ac-
tors in the course they pursued, or at least to
furnish an excuse for the hasty exhibition OF
feeling and as a manifestation Of their sense OF
the wrong and outrage -,
1t is to be hoped that the blood hounds VIII
vet he foiled in their pursuit of human game
Our Court Of Common Pleas commenced It's
session yesterday-Judge Potter presiding
Everything is moving on in the usual manner.
Yours in haste,
JUNIUs, JR.

Virginia can turn out about as many venera-
bic patriarchs of color who have been some way
associated with the great WASHINGTON, as dis
tiaauished F. F. VS. One of Gov. Wise's ver-
liable and venerable ebo-shins called yesterday,
a specimen of the true Virginia old school He
had found Jorion hand road TO trabbel" on
foot, wanted money to try riding on rail, and
guessed his years were over ninety Of one
important fact he was sure-he was I" Mt.
Vernon plantation boy" He couldn't tell e1-
actlv what river Mt Vernon is located on it was
SO very long since he had been there, but af-
terdeep eoeitaiion concluded il must be on James
river or the Sandy. Washington he had often
seen when a little boy in the "quarters," and
he well recollected his return to Mt Vernon
from the wars When asked to tell about it,
his face above the grsly beard lighted up Ike a
dark lantern-'' Yes, yes, masser, members

The CRoPs-We receive cheering reports OF
the crops in different parts of this County, not
withstanding the long continued rains The
wheat is coming forward rapidly, the oats
which were sown early, on rolling land, or
sandy soil, look well, while the prospect OF the
rrass crop, was never better. Considerable
corn Is planted, bot it is probable much more
ground would have been pat in corn, had there
been less .wet weather -.
MAsKErs-Wool is coming in freely, selling
from 25 to 35 cents per pound The prices
range some eight or ten cents less than last
years prices.
Cheese has begun to make its appearance, IN
quantities, and like wool, is selling at lower
prices than last year, bringing from 81 to % cts
per pound.
Butter has declined. and was selling yester-
day for I2t cents.-T T'rHablA ChrOR June l6fA-

tronage Of the United States Government, and
appealing to the great powers of Europe to sus-
tam them in their independence, and not leave
the coast of Central America at the mercy OF
