On Tuesday last our town thrown into most
intense state Of excitement by what supposed TO be
veriable Fugitive Slave Case
There has been very pretty girl here attending school

AZ master he sent her here To- 10 school, and a. tho
acknowledged Jathtr, he has paid her boarding and
tuiriOn.
The girl il very much attached 20 her father, but
fos the fact that he is engaged in buying no slaves
in Virginia and shipping them South, she has had the
good sense to refuse return Ia that State for fear she
might share the sane fate. Last Winter strong ef.
fort was made 10 induce her 10 return 10 Virginia and
large promises were made 10 by her father il she
would 90 so but she declined. As last resort, her
mother sent 10 persuade her 10 90, but she
still refused. Her mother her returo, shipped
South: the colored people and others here believing
that n was the Intention to ship both mother and
daughter if the girl could have been obtained.
On the day above mentioned the father, in company
with a very haTd-lookiug customer both well armed
with reyoyeIs called 10 the girl. She, having full
confidence IN her father who had always Acknowledged
and tr aied her his daughter, not ut all alarmed

cOme and bring her mOney-but some Of her
friends believing that the 5es gn was to kidnap her.
raised such cry of murder, and all other cries, that
the town instantly alarmed. and quite a crowd was
soon congregLted 10 ASCERTAIN the cause Of the row.
Tie Vrgnians s0lemny protested their pacific nteb-
tons-tEe father protesting that be had 10 visit
the GIL and pay her bills without any intention of TAX

and in proof Of this, showed Whist purpored to be a
deed 4 emancipation which he offered 10 give her.
This Instrument, however, on examination, was found
10 be Of validity Tbi. fact tended to increase The
suspeiCn. All things, however, would have gone of
smoothly but for the fury Of one Of the negroes who
had private wrong Of his own to revenge.
II that after the birth of the girl IN question:
her mother with the consent Of her master married
this excited individual, who by his efforts had bought
and paid for his own body and aou, and had made a
payment or two on hi wife, whose freedom he had
also purchased and who the mother Of this gir
before he purchased and married her.
Tawny rs bis kin il, he -eens 10 have been some

lived with her fourteen year- and had partly paid for
her. He claimed that be had other grievances-that
he had detected between his wife and the gentleman

Hereupon the chiyelry Of Virginia found safety in
the house Of colored man, drawing the curtains Of
the windows 10 prevent being shot through them.
Here were exhibited some VI the tslles specimens Of
humble suppicatOn ever poured forth from the fear

implored to save him from the wrath Of this furious
"chattel."
A; length after the crowd had been excessively
amused, and the Nlrglniers scared, L proposed
that both parties ground their arm. and come 10 a

form deliver up tie revolver, reached the ferry,
where terribly they alarmed that they offered
fifty dollars 10 the ferryman # he would land them
