The ssRufu. souie,, Affair.

Another war breeze has sprung up be
tween this country and Great Britain
The capture and burning of an alleged
SLAYER, sailing under the American flag, is
the exciting cause. As all this was done
on the American coast, in apparent con
formity with the construction put by our
Secretary of State upon the treaty on
this subject, and probably with substantial
Justice on the side of :he British cruiser,
we can afford to swat for the facts" as
given by both parties TO the transaction.
We can then better judge whether this is
really m .outrage," as the friends of the
slave traders maintain, or only sham pre-
text for enl;sting public sympathy on the
slave piracy.
The account before given was from one
of The doomed vessel. Even this state
ment renders it morally certain that the
Rufus Soule was SLAYER. In boarding
her, the commander of the Viper was ex-
ercising the police power distinctly re-
cognized as his by Mr.. Cass, yet to be
used at his peril; that is, subject 10 all the
consequences of mistaken arrest and cap
ture. In that case the'injured party would
have a remedy. But if the vessel is really
found to be SLAYER, the cruising officer
would be only doing his duty, in seizing
and confiscating her.-Cin. Gaz.

High Times i'm Kansas.
Sr. LOUIS, Feb. 8-P. 1

ST. LOUIS, req. Or III.
The Kansas City correspondent of the
Missouri Democrat writes from Lawrence
unJer date of the 4th. He says that Old
Ossawattamie Brown was blockaded at
Halton which is near Nebraska. A posse
of Misscurians from Platte and Bates
counties followed and came up while be
had but four men with him, sheltered in
some log houses. Their force was about
thirty, yet they forbore TO attack, and sent
to Weston and Lecompion for help. Gov.
Medary, fearing the effect of letting Mis-
sourians interfere, sent Marshal Colby with
us. troops to take him, but before they
arrived party of Free State men went to
the spot; the Missourians retreated, leav-
ing Brown untouched. The. Lawrence
people were excited about the affair, and
some talked of marching force to Platte
City to destroy the Jail and release Doy
and his son. -
The correspondent says that that or
some other retaliatory measure will be tried
unless they are set free. Platte City is
under martial law. The same paper learns
that Major Alexander Culbertson, Of the
American Fur Company, has arrived di-
rect from the Upper Missouri at Sioux City.
He brings thirteen hundred dollars in gold
dust, obtained on the divide between the
Missouri and Columbia rivers. 1t is lump
gold not ofvery fine quality, being worth
only fourteen or fifteen dollars per o., but
plenty in that locality, which is known as
Gov. Stevens pass. The sources of the
two streams are so near that he drank wa
ter out of the Missouri on the east side of
the Rocky Mountains, and half an hour af-
ter drank out of the Columbia on the Pa
cific slope Cincinnati Com. Dispatch.

AsHTABULA.-The Ashtabula Sentinel,
speaking of their Jail, says-This valuable
institution of ears seems to be in very
flourishing condition. There are at present
six persons confined in it; one for Petit
Larceny one for Forgery; one for Burglary,
one for Assault and Battery with intent to
kill !: one for Bastardy; and one for Burgla-
nv and Horse Stealing.
VINToN.-The Macarthur Journal saws
that a wretch ramed John Downe was re-
Gently arrested for cutting off the leg of a
horse, which had broken into his field.
He was bound over, and we trust he will
expiate this act of hideous cruelty, by a
full term in the penitentiary.
HURoN.-The Reflector says-Richard
Boyle, who resides on the farm formerly
owned by Samuel Lewis, was robbed of
sISs in money, on Wednesday night last.
The robber raised the window of the bed
room in which Mr.. B. slept; reached in and
got his pantaloons, from the pocket of
which the money was taken. On letting
down the window the thief was not quite
caref enough, and Mr.. B. was aroused
by the noise. He arose and seized his gun,
started in pursuit of the rascal without
stopping to dress himself. The robber ran
in the direction of the barn, where was an
accomplice, who had been getting out the
horses. Mr.. Boyle attempted to shoot the
fellow twice, as he pursued him, but his
gun missed fire. Mr.. B. then returned to
the house to dress himself, and in the
mean time the robbers made their escape.
Also that a daughter of Joshua Bis
sci, of Wakeman township, aged 8 years,
was accidentally drowned in the Vermill-
ion Rivei, on the 3Oth ult. She, in compa-
nv with her two little cousins, had gone TO
the river, short distance from the house,
and seeing an old log cabin on fire, she at
tempted to cross, but had not proceeded
far before the ice gave way and let her in.
In attempting to rescue her, the elder of
the two remaining girls broke in, but sue
ceeded in getting out. All attempts by
the two, to save their little cousin were in
vain, and at last they saw her disappear
under the ice. the body was discovered
after it had been in the water about twen-
ty minutes, but all efforts to restore life
proved unavailing.-Revivals are in pro-
gress in the Methodist churches in Olena
and in Norwalk, and in the Baptist church
in Peru.--At the meeting Of the Board
of Directors of the Huron Co. Ag, Socie-
ty at Olena, on Saturday last, the Fair was
located at Norwalk for three years.

The wool which was worth 40 cents q

The commercial history of lock of Sax

will serve to illustrate the Importance and
truth of that economical principle, which

not eighteen hours distant from this city.
The clip of which it is sample was sold

The purchaser carried it to dealer and re-
sold it for SO cents. The dealer waited
awhile for manufacturer of fine goods to
