The Cincinnati Press states that a Mr.. FRRE-
NAN, mail-agent on the Cincinnati Dayton and
sandusky Railroad, position he was filed for
six or seven years in an outwardy exemplary
manner, has, it seems, disappeared from his
post, and under circumstances somewhat peou>

Freeman, who is over fifty years old and the
father of eight children resided until recently in
Dayton, but fortnight ago he informed his
wife that he designed removing to Sanduskyr
and consequently, she paid visit to her father
in Michigan. Freemans consort had been gone
only few days when he repaired to Sandusky,
and there urged handsome wife oftwenty five,
with a single child, to elope with him, and the
twain arrived here last Monday evening and
stopped at the Walnut street House, occupying
the same apartment, under the name of l.. Dun
can and lady. The next morning they departs

heard of either of them. No doubt remains in
the mind Of any one acquainted with the cir.

The slave-drivers smell an insurrectionist in
every strolling stranger, and the evening of the
18th man was snapped up in Washington
City or ouspicion OF being one Of Capt. Browns
men. The daily pro. slavery papers OF the city
the next morning represented that the prisoner,
at the time of his arrest, was covered with
rags, and had the appearance Of an Cctogens-
rian, but, when divested of his outer covering,
turned out to be a well dressed, accomplished
man, some 35 years ofage. Recent shot marks
were also discovered on his neck and breast,
the peppering he got at Hoper's Ferry beyond
question.
This was enough to put the chivalry in mo
tion. Gov. Wise was telegraphed and answer
ed hold on to the traitor! All Virginia pricked
up at the prospect of snuffing the blood OF a
fresh victim. Five witnesses from Harper's
Ferry and two oficers from Baltimore hastened
to Washington to identify the prisoner, and
one of the Harper's Ferry citizens did identify
him as a person who had passed through TIE
toll-gate at Harpers Ferry on the Sunday
morning previous! The game was as good as
bagged by Wise, but alas! disappointment

Kentucky Republican State Convention.

AANhAhGhy nthuullHuh AOuNeutlOu-
1t is an old saying that "small parties make
up in vigilance what they lack in numbers Il"
and this seems to be the case with our Repub
lican friends in kentucky. They are the first
to appoint Delegates 10 the Republican Nation
al Convention, and have selected Messrs Cas-.
sius NJ. Clay and George D. Blakey to repre-.
sent the State at large.
The Convention was held at the office of the
moi demolished Free South" in Newport on
the afternoon of the 9Th inst and several coun.
ties of Kentucky were represented. The mob
spirit of the chivalry of Kentucky was again
manifest, but was somewhat held in check
probably by the presence oftho "nobIe Cassius."
He has way of dealing with pro-slavery mobs
rather more effective than the Bailey women
though they put the first to fight with the con-
tents Of bucket!
We learn by the Gazette that the house in
which the Republican Convention met was SUR
rounded by groups Of "rounders," who were
doubtless armed, a fact which, we Judge from
their having announced their intention to de.
molish the bullying if the meeting were held,
as also from the scrutinizing glances which were
devoted TO all who attended the meeting. Some
of the outsiders, in state of semi intoxication,
made their way into the room where the meet.
ing was held, and at every opportunity inter
rupted the proceedings.
The Convention organized by the election of
DIR. William Jones as President, and William S.
Bailey as Secretary.
Mr. Cassus NJ Clay stated the object of the
meeting as above, and offered the following res.
olutions, which were adopted
Rssoiusd, BY the Republicans of Kentucky,
that they re affirm and stand by the Philadelphia
platform Of 1856
?. That they are in favor Of law and order, of
State Sovereignty, of National Supremacy, of
tho Constitution aud the Union
3. That they are determinedly opposed TO
seryne lnsurTeetion, and illegal interference
with slaves at home or abroad
4. That they stand by and defend the free
dom of speech, the liberty Of the press like all
other policies and institutions, open to the will
OF the legal m0joritles, the omnipotence of con-
ventions, and the progressive civilization of
ages. III.
MessTs, Cassius NJ. Clay and George D. Bla-
key were then, upon motion, appointed delegates
at large to represent the State in National Con,
-vention.
By second resolution, the several Congress,
sional districts were recommended to appoint
delegates
The Convention then resolved TO meet at
Riehmsnd, Madison county, at such time as the
Central Committee shall designate, to form an
electoral ticket and counties are, by the same
resolve, requested to form clubs, and correspond
with the Committee at Madison.

Canadian RED River Expedition

The Canadians have made good progress in
opening the Red River route in the far North
West. A detachment Of the Red River ex-
pedition party has returned, and report that the
road has been completed from Thunder Bay,
Lake Superior, to Dog Lake, through a sec.
ton of country which was believed to be the
most difficult on the whole route, and from the
head OF Dog River line has been opened
across the summit Of the watershed to the
Savano River, which, with the Lao des Mile
Lacs into which it discharges itself, presents
an unbroken navgRble reach of rs miles,
Communication is now opened within sixty
miles of Rainy Lake, from whence an unbro.
ken navigable reach of 200 miles extends by
Rainy River and the Lake of the Woods with
in sixty miles of the prairie region.
The enterprise is looked upon as an i'm.
poItant one in Canada. A steamer has run
regularly to the head of Lake Lnperior the past
season, two sections of road have been opened,
and another year will probably see eommuni-
cation perfected through British territory to the
prairies of the North West, a wide extent of
country with climate and fertility congenial to
hardy, enterprising race.

AFRICAN ELEPHANTS AND MoUNTAINs.-Drii
Livingston, the famous explorer Of Africa, who
at the last accounts was on the river Rambczi,
reports the valley Of Shire as abounding with
wild elephants, having magnificent and most
valuable tusks. In Que herd he saw over five
hundred of the giant game grazing on the plain.
The Shire is good navigable river for over
one hundred miles from its confluence. The
mountains of Merembela stand 40O0 feet over
the plain, possessed of a fine climate and pro-
fuse vegetation--lemon trees, oranges and
pine apples growing wild in the woods, prom

Oh SPRINGS Tho Oil Springs Of Western
Pennsylvania are attracting considerable atten-
ton, and there is quite speculative rush for
tho oeaginous loca ions. According to the
Mercer Dispatch some of them are better than
gold mines, for it says that until the recent fire
which burned up the works of Mr.. Drake, at
Oil Greek, the well yielded from 25 to 80 bbls.
per day, at cost of ten cents per barrel New
works are to be erected, when it is supposed
double the quantity will be obtained.
We presume 10 cents per gallon should be
substituted for 10 cents per barrel. Another
paper puts Mr.. brakes profits at 80 cents per
gallon clear, or over s4OO per day
The Reporter states that two of the citizens
Of Conneaut visited the newly discovered de-
posits of oil in Titusville, Crawford county,
Pa, last week, and brought back samples of it.
The Reporter says:
Our readers will recollect that this Oil was
found issuing from fissuTe in the rock on the
bank of a small creek, and early in the past
season shaft was sunk, and at the depth of
sixty nine feet, oil was found in apparently in
exhaustible quantities. About forty barrels of
oil is pumped daily from this well, and which
IT is said finds ready market. More recently
another shaft has been sunk and oil at the
depth of seventy feet found Arrangements
are now making for the sinking of other shafts;
indeed, We learn that the land IN the vicinity is
eagerly sought for by companies, and corner
lots and oil springs are at high figure Geol-
| ogists tell US that underneath this rock where
the oil is found are large deposits of coal,
and that for ages this oil has been collecting
from it.
