negro men, belonging 10 Curtis Jacobs, of Mary
land, were committed to Jail, in this place, as
fugitive slaves. The circumstances of their
escape and capture, as related by one of the
negroes, and Thomas Barker, who captured
them, are as follows:
Mr. Jacobs owns farm in Baltimore Hun
dred, IN this county, ON which resided these two
negroes. One Of them, who seeras TO be very
smart, 10 bis overseer, and had the management
of the farm. Adjoining the farm of Mr.. Jacobs,
resided man by the name of Smiley Calhoon,
formerly resident of Baltimore. II appears
he wns very intimate with these negroes, tam
pering with them from time to time taking
advantage of their CT edulity and ignorance, he
persuaded them TO run away, promising 10 go
with them, and provide for them better hemes,
in place where they should be free. Believ-
ing his promises, on Thursday night last they
met him at mill, near Millsboro', where he
had proceeded with his cart and oxen, and some
grain to be ground, telling the miller that he
would leave thu cart and oxen in his care for a
day or so, as he was going TO Laurel on BUSH
ness. He aid the negroes. who were secreted
near the mill, waited until dark, and then set
out for Laurel, intending TO take passage in the
cars early next morning. Constable Barker,
of Millsboro', hearing of the affair. Immediately
set out for Laurel. intending to capture the me-
grCes. Arriving at Laurel, he proceeded to the
Railroad Depot, where he found the negroes,
waiting for the cars. Calhoon, seeing the ne
groes captured, made his escape. It is supposed

The Italians are impatient for Democracy.
The inhabitants of northern Savoy, availing
themselves of the empty proffer of Napoleon,
covet annexation to the independent cantons of
Berne, and with the syrnpathies of the progress
sive world abroad and at home, monarchs like
Emmanuel and leaders like Garibaldi, who
shall doubt that Italy may take her place among
the nations, as fondly imagined in the aspira-
tions of art. With new institutions, her ruined
cities will be resurrected, and with the spirit of
her people her ancient glory shall be revived.
The Morocco war has resulted in a treaty ad-
vantageous to Spain, and Europe will avail it,

tutons. Compared to tho struggles which agi-

own States sink into insignifcance, and we de-
duce from her jarring continent, divided as it

the fate of our Union when we are likewise
disparted aud discovered.
HOMICIDE IN SussEx.-James Vaughan, of

town. Hastings was brought up before Esquire
Rench. He admitted that he shot Vaughad
but said he did it in self-defence, as the latter
was beating him over ihe head with an axe

did not die from the effects of the wound re.
ceived, but from other causes. Hastings wat
committed to jail to await the investigation o.

Destructive Fire at Georgetownl
GEoRoErowN, DEI., April l4. lef

6EoReETowN, DEL-s ,Aprh IA, 1ooO.
Mr.. EDIroR :--Ths morning. about two
o'clock, the building occupiedby the Messenger
ofice,lby Mr.. James P. Barker's variety store.
BY shoe shop, by tailor shop, and by an am
bro,yPist and oil portrait painter, was dscov-
cred TO be on fire. Our town being poorly pro-
vided with apparatus for selfpro,ection, and
our spirits upon such occasions being blamed
sight worse, the building was consumed to the
ground in one hour and half. Happily, just
then there was lull in the wind, or much fur
ther damage would have been done. To add
to the perplexity and horror of the occasion, it
was reported there was full keg Of gun
powder in the store! This prevented many
willing hands from saving much valuable prop
srty and account books, printing press, type,
and other important articles, had to go right
before our eyes. Besides, lives were endanger-
ed, by many not knowing the presence of the
powder. Several young men, thus unconscious,
were within forty feet of the building, endeav-
oring to prevent the ignition of an adjoining
building. when a shooting, burning piece Of
timber struck of the hat Of Prof. Hemsireet
and caused him and others slight injuries. Thi.
occurrence should be warning to storekeeP
ers, for people will not incur such imminent
risk to save others property. The misfortune
was disastrous to all of the occupants. But the
citizens are to-day assisting with commendablt
liberality. The Messenger will resume op-
erations again. - asE 84r

The writ OF Habeas Corpus, spoken of in the
case Of G R. Evans by our last weeks DovsI
Correspondent, did not avail anything, as the
Chancellor overruled The point taken by bis
Attorneys, and he was remanded TO prison.
We are Informed. saysihs Dslaparean, that
the point raised by The counsel for the prisoner
was, thatthe charge, if true, which they posi-
lively deny. was notan indiciable offence by
the lave of this State. Mr.. Eli Salisbury and
Edward Ridgely, Esqrs.. were the counsel for
the prisoner. and George P. Fisher, Esq, ap-
peared for tho State. We are also informed
that Messrs. Sausbury and Ridgely intend
raising the sarne legal point before the court.
The Sheriff returned that he held the prison
er by virtue of lawful commitment on a
charge of sending letter to Daniel Cummns,
demanding money and threatening his life il
not paid. He produced the Indictment The
following is sn extract from the chancellor's
opinion:
Our code does not particularize this offence,
but IT provides in chap. l27, sec. lS, that as.
