Arrest and Rescue of a Fugitive
Slave


Some days since, warrant was issued
by Commissioner Corneau, of Springfield,
for the arrest of two fugitive slaves, which
escaped from their master, a Mr. Neuchel,
of Nebraska City. The slaves, both fe-
males were traced to this city. Hitler, a
deputy marshal, armed with the warrants
in due form OF law, came in quest of tAein.I
He was Also as We are Informed, accom-
panied by the master Of The negroes, whoG
came Tor the purpose Of identifying chem.
One was found ia ..tt57ro house of ill-fame
somewhere in the neighborlood of the ar
mory, and was last evening arrested by the
deputy marshal. .e
The arrest was of course signal for the
rising Of the republicans and their negro
allies to rescue the fugitive. Scarcely had
the marshal left the house in question with
his prisoner, than he WIS surrounded by
mob of negroes and whites, luriously clam
oring for tie liberation OF the slave and
for vengeance upon the kidnappers."-
Can't take 40 cgllo'd pusson out dis yer
town-dat you caut y exclaimed one
blood-thirsty looking darkey, and "No,
indeed that you caa't" was the signiti-
cant response Of q well known supporter
of Old Abe, who expects to be a deputy
under the next T. S Marshal for thus dis
trict Whar-whar's de Mayor gone =
ctied another darkey rushing through the
crowd in breathless excitement; " Is been
to bis office and | can't fine him." " Lets
take the woman awav.' "Down with
the kdnappers -" Kill the id scoun-
i e g,
amiable tone were heard from the lips of
the white republicans in the crowd.
The deputy who made the arrest ap-
peared to be man of great resolution,
and showed no disposition to let the res
cuers take the prisoner away from him.
But the latter manifested an equal deter
mination 10 have the negro at any and all
hazards. The crowd cye,y moment in
creased until two or three thousand per-
sons surrounded the prisoner, the marshal
and the owner of the slave. They were
in the vicinity of the armory, and the po-
lcemen hearing the noise came running to
the spot. The Republicans Immediately
called upon the police to arrest the kid
nappers." A rush was made for them;
they were arrested, and together with the
fugitive negro were locked up in the Gala
boose The latter is no doubt this NOR
ming far on her way towards Canada, via
the Underground railway.
p. SO o'clock j. M.-The negro
has Just been rescued by the mob. To
avoid breaking down the armory, per-
son named jerks, one Of the Republican
Wide AwaEes, was procured to sw ear out
a warrant before Justice D'WoIf, charging
the negro with resisting an officer. Geo.
Anderson, Republican Deputy Sheriff, was
deputed to execute the warrant.
The negro was at once let out and was
taken By the mob, amidst the most demon
like yeIIs, the firing of pistols, etc. The
warrant issued by Justice Dwell was Of
course mere pretext to get the negro
out Of the lookup by show Of legality
The Republicans did notlilo to pull down
the building SO soon after the election of
Oil Abe. But The proceedings Of last
night furnish the first practical commen-
tarv upon the result Of the late e.ection.-
