Yes, LII (hic) go Marshal, if (hic) my p-pegs

RAcE.-The steamers Kate Casscll and Lu-
zerne had trial of speed coming into this port
Tuesday. The Kate was well loaded with pas
sengers-ninisters going to attend the Congre-
in little behind. We understand some feeling
arose between the two boats, caused by the pre-
ference of the ministers to take passage on the
Kate Cassell, and the crew OF the Luzerne made
use of opprobrious epithets during the time the
two boats were together = g4. zel

A short trip into the country enables us 70
Judge somewhat Of the crop prospects for the
present year. Wheat never looked better at
this season. Corn looks thrifty but we are in
formed bv farmers that owing to the dry wealth
or. much Of it did not come up. As our farmers
very generally plant corn too close, we do not
apprclcnd any very great loss from this cause.
The favorable weather during early Spring was
improved to the utmost, and much larger ex-
tent OF country than ever before, is pu: under
cultivation Farmers ere greatly tiatca, and be-
leve that they see in the present favorable pros
meets an early exemption from all their difficult
ties. Ii needs blu. reasonably good weather for
the balance of the season to change their hopes
to glad frution. A. Lansing Mirror
Tie prospect for abundant crops in Mills coun-
" and vicinity, never was more hattering than
at the present time. Although in the early part
OF tae Spring mapy people we're apprehensiyc
that We were going to hayea very uf, season,
and few Gro kers began to predict famine YET,
within the last few weeks, numerous refreshing
showers have d. scended, and SC, ptics have again
been reminded that while the world stands seed

The CASE OF JAMES WAGGoNER ---James
Waggoner was brought before Mayor Hawkins,
yesterday, on writ Of haJeas corpus served upon
the TAILOR to show by what legal right Waggoner
was detained in Jail
Three witnesses--John Whiteman, ELIZA S.
Whiteman, and Mary Miller-testifed that they
had known James Waggoner and his father since
1852, and that they had resided in Ohio since
they knew them. and were always regarded as
free people.
The affidavit of Joseph Thomas, Of Cincinna-
ii, was read, stating that James Waggoner had
worked for him as tcamstcr, and that during
the time Peter Wagsoner bad visited James,
and they recognized each other as ta.hcf and
son. The affidavit Of the father was read but
the testimony of negro not being legal IN Ken
tucky. il was not admitted as evidence. We
give its pith, however Peter states he was 0
slave, bnt had been set free by the will OF his
master. Peter Waggoner, tfor whom he was
named, } in Wythe county, Virginia, IN ls2s.-
That he removed to Ohio in 1881, and that James
was born in Brown county, Ohio since that year,
and had meyer been in Virginia. The evidence
on the other side showed nothing whatever TO
dsprove the foregoing facts but two men from
Virginia, who, it appears came here ~ search
for fugitive slave, stated that they knew ieter
Wacgoner. the father Of James and that he had
been set free in 1928, but that the will was an
nullcd in 1S43. One OF these witnesses also
stated that James rescmbled negro who had
ran asay from, Jacob Waggoner about five years
ago. but ise could not Identify him. Il will be
seen that James was boin in Ohio fef0te the win
was annuled, two facts which, admitting that
that could affect the freedom OF bis father, could
not affect his.
After hearing the testimony, the Mayor stated
that he had iio doubt from the first that James
Waggoner was slave, and had heard nothing
to disproye him such; therefore, he ren.anded
him to Jail. Hardly had he reached it, when
he was hastened into a buggy and driven off
to Alexandria, to the auction block. An injune-
tion, however, which had been sued out, was i'm
mediately dispatched, but the party having the
negro in charge, were a few minutes ahead A
she party neared Alexandria, Col Smalley, with
one OF his fastest horses drove up, passed the
pursaers and REACHED the Sheriff. party, inform

No one in that place either saw or heard Of the

they heard that the ne gro was purchased by Dr.
J. Q. A. Foster, Of Ncspos1, for 5000 on his note

The CASE OF JAMES WAGGoNER. james Wag-
goner has been sold into slavery, with what at
tendant circumstances Of disregard to law, I'M
fairness, and cheating generally, full account in
our local coulans will show. II any of our read.
era can read that account and be unmoved to
anger and detestation, he possesses tempera-
ment which nothing could excite. Here is free
man, man born of parents legally freed and re-
siding free in Ohio, kidnapped, kept in Jail six
months, and finally sold for Jail fees, while his
kidnappers were allowed to escape. Of the dis
graceful alacrity toenslave human being which
certain individuals in Newport have manifested,
we cannot trust ourselves to speak.
Not only has greyious and irreparable wrong
been done to Waggoner, but the honor of the
great State of Kentucky, in whose name the
wrong was committed has been sullied, and the
dignity Of the State Of Ohio insnlted. For an
uhioan has been made slave by tricks which
would disgrace a "shyster" before the lowest Of
human tribunals the Toombs Police Court in
New York.
We trust our readers whase blood will be
stirred by the recital OF this wrong, will not for
get that the Democratic party is ire champion
and defender of that system which this whole b,.
siness is but the legitimate outgrow,h. Their
Indignation should not vent itself in frothy decla-
nation and violent invectivc, but should chrys-
taize into efficient action.

literally supplied with intellectual entertainments
for all Who may attend upon it. First upon the

Next, an address by Rev. Mr.. Clapp Of New York,
and then Sermons. Orations and Poems, closing
up with the exhibitions and general reunion
ON the last evening Of the session. Prominent
among the speakers, we notice the pane of Rev.
J. =. KalDch, late and for some years pastor Of
Fremont Temple Church in Boston, now Of Lear-
worth, Kansas. No young man in America, It is
claimed, has ever preached regularly and for so
long time to 30 large congregations, as Mr.
kaloch, not less than 5000, it Is said, regularly
and twice every Sabbath coming into the spa
cious Temple to hear him. We see also, that the
Governor and DR. Lille Of Des Ncines, are an.
nounced to perform parts in tl.e services Of the
