We have, By telegraph, a report Of speech
delivered By Senator Critsenden before caucus
o. Opposition M Go1essment r.: ni II Is eaoqnent and
and full Of the earnest devotion to the Union
which eu9At to characterize Senator of the
United States. and which alwavs Aas Character
ized Mr.. Crittenden. It is q little singular,
however, 5 that 50 SoaserEattve statesman as
Southern men, should be 50 entirely oblirious
Of the fact thai Ill The threats against the Union
come from his own section, and should seem 50
disposed to change all the alienation Of feeling
TO the account OF the North. The Kentucky
Senator's age and ioug service in the National
Councils give him The right to "talk like
father" to the whole country, aud while his
kindly admonidons will not hurt us of the North,
we should hare preferred to hare him use liz
tie patetnal frankue4a Of Temonstr1nce with the
open mouthed advocates Of disupion on his own
side of the threatened line Of demarkation.-

mcnt By the Lean Of the Medical Faculty, Of the
University Of Pennsylvania, that the number Of
students who have recently left that institution,
so far rs is known, docs not exceed eighteen,
This statement is partly made to correct the e1-
aggerations on this subject which hare found
currency, hut msinly 10 relieve the anxiety OF
parents and guasdians at = distance, who might
be apprehensive that their xons or wards we're
complicated with the rash and foolish afIair that
has excited so much surprise and regret Iu-
quines by telegraph hare already rcached here
from remote points, and it is manifest that con-
siderable unsasiness is felt By those 10 whom
We hare adrerted- This is one among many
eril consequences that must result from the
misguided action efthe secedess. -
That there has been gross wrong somewhere
in tampering with the iniamm4ble passions Of
beyond The exercise of sober Judgment, is
now certain, aud l. is 10 be hoped that means
will be speedily t,len to detec. and expose

The following particulars concerning the SELL
ing into slavery Of fire. negro, we're yesterday
related TO us by leYal gentleman, in whose
hands the matter has been placed for the prose-
cut'ou Of the offending parties. Some time
since teiegraphic dispatch was received bv d
detective officer Of this city, requesting him to
arrest md retain in custody negro acting IN
the capacity Of cook On board \ steamboat ply-
ing between this city and Cincinnati. The dis
patch Set forth that he (lhe negro) WAS runa-
way s1a7c, tue property Of a gentleman named
0rerton, residing about one hundred miles
from this city. The officer fulfilled his or
ders, and placed the supposed runway in
jai1. 4 couple Of days after this, Nr.
Uve1fon came hero and identified the negro as
slaye Of his, and afterwards placed him in
the hands Of . alaye.trader, who disposed Of
him to Southern gentleman named Niseman
for very round SUN ofmoney. Wiseman took
tue darkey to New Orleans. and there sold him
for t. 900. Shortly after this last trunsaction #
vas asce1ta.nea ttat the negro WAS in reality
ire man. He was born slaye in North Caro-
lima. = He afterwards moved ,{with his master to
Mobile, where be was emaoc;pnted -,-&
After his emancipation he moyed to Ohio. and
engaged hlmself8s cook on board river steam
boat. lie left his free papers in Ohio, not
dreaming, rs he says, that any person should
claim him as slave. BY some means his emaz-
cipator heard Of bis enstavement, and immeti-
atcly interested himself in his BEHALF His free
papers were taken to New Orleans. and br due
form Of law, he WAS declared q free man. Pros
ecution has already been commenced against
some parties in New Orleans for being concern
ed in selling Of the free negro, and in short
time suit will be brought against individuals lin
this State for the same ofensc.

We stated yesterday, and day befo,e. some-
thing with regard to the appointment of the
day morning Afr. Fisher, the Receiver was to
enter upon the duties Of bis office. At the
The time Of writing the article in YESTERDAYS
journal, VIC were informed that the trustees for
the bond. olders had yielded quiet possession,
1t appears that in short time after, that this
order WAS rescinded, and the trustees instruc-
ted their officers and employees 10 refuge to
yield possession. On yesterday morning train
west, Sir. Fisher had conductor On the train
III the person Of John BramhalI, who had, Us
one of the old conductors, yielded 10 the de-
uiunds Of the Receiver. Mr. Biddlecome was
also on board as the conductor ior the trustees.
On arriving at the junction, Mr. Diddlecome no.
tiled Ar. Bramhall that he could 20 no farther
on the train unless he paid his fare as any other
passenger. Mr. Hramhall replied that be should
expect fare Of 3lr. Biddleconc, aud gave tho
order for tue train to more on. About this time
Mr. Diddlecome tells Uramha1I that be must not
come On to the truin unless MS passenger, and
that he should put him Of if he did. Mf. Bram-
ball yielded to what force was applied, and leik
the train-1ir. Bidd1ecome taking the iroin and
moving On west At tue arrival Of tue cars ut
Union Grove, where the cars met, Samuel
Brooks, Esq, who Ind been appointed couduc-
tor for the incoming, train, showed his authority
to Nr. CapelIe, the conductor in possession for
the trustees, and demanded his papers and non-
ey, which were Immediately yielded by Mr. Co.
pel!e, and Ar. Brooks took thee&rain. Mr.. Ca
petEe, however, run it in at the request Of Mr,
Brooks.
We understand that Mz. Strong went to James,
vile On locomotive on Wednesday night to
see the Judge. Mr.. Fisher was there y vesterday.
and We should not he surprised to learn Of ar-
rests being made for contempt OF court There
is scridently music ahead.-l4eine journal a3d.
We have but few farther items Of interest a.
to the difficulties in regard to tue railroad. We
learn. that By mutual ogreen,cnt between Matt,
T. Carpenter. representing the Receiver, aud
Marshal u. Strong, representing the Trustees
for the First Mortgage Dondholders, {who were
ct Jant sTille on TnuFs.ay,) e truce for ten or
fifteen days has been agreed upon, within which
time the latter arc TO prepare aud tile GOOD and

case will bc definitely decided.
The trains yesterday were under the charge,
