An in poltation of great agricultural wonder
will be- made here by one OF our wealthy fancy
farmers, in the Spring. 1t is the brittany COW,
from France, mere miniature creature Darey
three feet high docie o. a cat, giving eight to ten
quarts of rich mix daily, and consuming almost as
little food as y goat. This breed has recently been
introduced into England, where it has excited the
utmost wonder and admiration even IRON cx'
reriepced breeders. AS described to me, every
citizen WHO boasts garden of moderate size will be
able to be his own milkman by simply lettering o
brittany cow on bis grass-rlot.

calriaqes left this city 10 seize an alleged fugve
slave named Simmons, who has lived several years

Tin bucto0 Marshal Shvers Of Camden was the
official leader of the gang, but the master spirit
who bounded them on was George Albert, man,
WHO, lOr thirty years, has been infamous IN this
CITY as d0g-catchcr and n.gr0-catcher. lie Il now
upward OF 20 years DID, and during the best part OF
this long lie has been the spy and willing tool OF
every STAKEHOLDER whose chattel was supposed 10
be laILored anywhere in this neighbOrhOod. He
has trapped and retained to bondage more lugtives
than any other man in this country His head, white
with the blossoms OF the grave, still plots aud plans

About midnight tie party reached Simmons little
cabin of story and a-balf. Hearing the noise at
bis door he retreated with his family t0 the oit,
Nhelr, aimed Will AK ana TWO iOdutu guns hC uS-
fed the party to take him, and kept them at
bay until near day light, but all the time raising
loud outcles TO alarm the neighborhOod. These
cries about daylight, brought out farmer who
lived near, who afked the party to show their war
rant, which request was refused. But while this
parley was going on, q crowd of negroes came rush
ing up from TimbuciOo, before whose threatening
demonstrations the kdnappers quailed, jumped into
their wagons and drove back to Camden. Simmons
is cow off and safe. But the attempt TO take hun

was Virgin0n gentleman.
Sorghum molass1s of excellent quality is coming
into extensive use among us. II has been made in
large quantities this year, in eW-Jersey, with de-
cided Improvement in quality. Cumberland County
has produced :, 600 gallons, Camden County 1000,
and other counties more or less.
One of Cur large dry goods houses talks Of closing
up business and removing the whole concern to
Charleston, not so much to continue business there
permanently as to enable it to collect large out
standing debts in that quarter. Northern con-
Germ, il cannot collect but by acquiring Southern
footing all viii be right provided it escape ynchng.
A paper has been got up, and very extensively
signed, hy our wOrhiest citizens, recommending the
Legislature TO appoint Nh Morton McSIichael to
