The 0ber1in Rescue CAse-The mar1hal
takes Bushnell from the Sheriff.

THIS morning, about 10 o'clock, Mr.. Bush
nell, who was convicted in the rescue case, was
taken By the United States Marshal, from the
Jail Of the county, and conveyed to the Marshall s
roon,, in tue government building, where he is
now confined.
The sudden change Of programmed is supposed
TO have reference to TN anticipated writ from the
Supreme Court Of Ohio, at Columbus, looking
to 1hc getting Of Bushnell out Of the Marshurs 5
custody, as news was brought br the night train
from Columbus, tba. Judge Spalding is there
seeking writ Of habeas corpus.
We wait further developments before COM
1nenting upon such unusual steps Of IN officer

laws Of the State.
Since writing the uboye We hayelearned from
Sheriff Wight,nan the particulars as to the re-
,noyal of Bushnell from his custody. During
the forcnoon-say 10 o'clock-the Marshal ba-
liz, 5. 4. Abbey. came to the jail, and speaking
to the Sheriff, said tl,at Mr.. Bushnell was wanted
in Court for i few minutes. The Sherif III
formed Bushnell, who prepared to 80 with the
baihf. Just then another bailif1, Mr.. Holden,
came up to Mr. Abbey, aud after holding con

HAAaxe1ON, April - 1859.
John 1etcher 1till remains among us, but
hopes to be ablc to resume his conflicts with
Goggin in few days. Goggin, il is evident,
will poll large rote but 10 spite Of the best
edorts Of his friends, he will fall from ten to
twenty thousand votes behind Lctchcr. The
contest which is going on in Virginin ut this
time in references to the soundness Of Goggiu
and letchcr is disgusting. Twas in Virginia n
few days since, and conrersed with several in
diElduals who urc connected with slavery and
they all laughed at the strife about the pro-
very or anti.sla,ery character of the candidates
us ridiculous and prep1osterous. Yet the whole
state is apparently convulsed over this humbug
Issue. John Letcher il personally very popular
here and in Virginia and his popularity will
carry him triumpAantly through the election.
The Americans Of this place arc very much
e1ated by the state Of things in Virginia, and
claim that there is to be revival Of ancient
whiggcry. or something Of that sort. So dcs;r-
Gus were some ofthese gentlemen Of throwing
the balance Of power in the ne1thouse Of repre-
sentatives into the hands Of Americans that
they labored for the defeat Of the Republicans,
encouraging such men as Ezra Clark in stand
ing out, and thus defeating if possible, the Re-
publican candidates. Now that the elections
are over, these men shout as loud a anybody
else the rictory, and proceed ut once 10 die
satc the nomination Of some American or old
whig for the presidential candidate "of the op-
position" in 1850.

The Springfield. (Mnss.) Republican, in
speaking Of the recent speech Of Carl Schurtz i'll

some and deserved compliment:

Action to Recover 815 700 for A1icna-
ting Tie Affections OF q WIFE,

lt'rom the Cleveland (ohlo> Statesmau.l
4 novel and unusual civil action is now being
action is Il suit brought by Lucius A. Bowers
against Ira i. Preston. his wife Margaret Prs
ton, and Aaron d. Griffin, all residents OF Perry
township, Franklin Co., to recover fifteen thou
saud dollars damages sustained BY the plaintiff.
lIowcrs by the alienation Of the affections Of his
wife, Mary E. Bowers, formerly Mary f. Kent,
and tile eventual separation Of tue pnir, pro-
duced by this unlawful conspiracy, confedera-
ton md contriyancc of tue said defendants.
Tie parties iu the case arc all highly respect
ublc, and Of good character. The plaintiff, Mr.
Huwcrs, is i very intelligent man, about thirty
one years Of aye and Of good appearance; biz
wife is also intelligent, Of prcpossessing appear
unce, and is about twenty years OF uge. She
occupied seat in Court, and appears to sylnpa-
thize altogether with the defendants,
From the mass Ut testimony In the case, we
gather thuse points; Mr. and Mrs Bowers were
married in Benrdstowu, 1llinois, in 1858; she, ,as
itwould seem, ,cntertuinln. neutral affection for
him. was induced to 'narry him by the persuasion
ut her friends, and ut his own earnest entreaties.
They were married but short time when, US it
is alleged the defendants persuaded hcr to lcaYc
him, {the defendants, it is said, though this has
mt yet appeared in the evidence, were instiga-
ted to this by Ill old rival Of the PLAINTIFF and
cane to Ohio, which she attempted to d., but
was oycrtaken on the way by her husband, and
PENDANTS, however, continued their efforts, and
finally succeeded in separating Dir. Bowers md
his wife. aud they. both CAME to Franklin Couu-
ty, she to seek refuge among her friends, lc to
renew lis efforts 10 regain her. The principal
reason and Justification Of The defendants Tor
their part appears to be that, though they were
married, Mr. and Mrs. Bowers were not man and
wife in spiritual sc,sc, aud were consequently
miserable, though no striking evidence Of the
existence Of or reason for this unhappiness has
yet appeared in the cSidence. 4 grea. deal of
negotiation upd palayering" took place between
the rival houses before thts suit, and We hear
that even al unsuccessful a.tcmp. was made by
t|e plaintlil'to sever thu ties that bind him to
curth, and prove nt once his honesty and sinceri-
ty by shutfling off this mortal coil. We believe
the atfair has undergone an examination by the
Church and BY the Society Of Odd Fellows, but
neither resulting in the restoration Of his wife
to Nr. Bowers, lie has now come down to civil
court, suppcating Us ba1nl for his many
wounds, damages III the round sum Of $l5,tn0.
What the real cause Of the trouble is, has not
yet transpred. Thirty witnesses were sum.
nloncd, aud by the time their yoluminous testi-
mony is completed, something may turn up"
to shed ray Of light upon this mysterious, and,
to us, invisible point.
