Another Rescue Case.

We have heard Of q remarkable attempt
at rescue, that occurred yesterday at Mil
waukee aud in this city. Caas. d. Smith,
agent Of the State OF Missouri, went to
Wisconsin with reqGisition from the
Governor of Missouri upon the Governor
of Wisconsin, for Thos Fitch, a sometime
local of the Free Democrat. The Cover.
nor Of Wisconsin examined the papers and
issued his warrant. Fitch was arrested by
the sheriff Of Milwaukee county, on the
Govcrnor's warrant, but before he was de-
livered over. Fitch's friends sued out n
ho6eas corpus before John A. Savage, IT,,
esq. court commissioner and Judge Blu
chanan, and exjudge y. d. Smith, of ha-
6eos corpus memory, appeared before the
commissioner to satisfy him that he ought
to oyerruls the Governor, and discharge
the criminal. The commissioner, howev-
er, held the act Of Congress and the Gov.
ernor's warrant obligatory. and remanded
the prisoner. The agent proceeded with
Fi.ch to the depot, when another bogus
advice Of counsel, disregarded and left with
the train. Fitch's friends telegraphed to
Chicago, and the impression was produced
that a slave was being conducted out OF
Wisconsin. Whereupon about ono hund
red niggers surrounded the Milwaukee de
pot to rescue the victim: The train arrived
the niggers looked the tr0in through and
through, but unfortunately for Fitch, he
was white, and lost The relief his brethren
intended for him. Fitch is safely in Gus
toby. and left on the night train for St
