TRIAL OF THE OTTAWA REscUERs

Correspondence Of the New York Evening Post.
CHICAGO, February 90 1860
Having just Witnessed the second day Of the
trial Of one of the Ottawa rescuers let me say II
word as to the proceedings. The circumstances
are well known 10 your readers a negro man was
kidnapped in Perry county, Illinois, tied with
ropes and further secured by n log-chain. For
sate-keepng taken to JouesborO. uniun
county, aud i'm Prisonod for three weeks. All this
occurred in the early part of the winter No pro-
was issued fer his apprehension. but during
his detention in Jail the tormaIity Of copfning him
under color of some law neglected. A master
Was al VerIised Tor and found.
In the meantime, Judge CAton granted a writ of
"abeas corpus, which the Union county Sheriff and
jaor ubeyed. They arrived at Lasule, aud led
the boy Jim through the wn tied with .opes, aud
with rope about lis neck. Eight or ten we'll
armed men accompanied the negro. The furlorn
appearance Of the wretched darkey aroused tue
symputhies OF some Irish laUorers. lie was rag
god, frieEdlcss, aud led through the streets hy II
halter, after the southern fashion. The laburing
men thought him proper object Of pity.
After jim started up To Ottawa, his master
procured II United States warrant, under the Fu-
gtive act, Tor his detention. This was the first
iegal steps taken against him up 20 this lime he
WAS illegally cUnbued.
Judge Caton decided that the first imprisonment

United s ntes Commissioner ut Springfield entitled

negro. To the Marshal lie remanded him. The
crowd was very great. aud IN the couiusioL jim
retired from observation, and has not been seen
since.
