A STRANGE AFFAIR-An Alleged Team Abolition
,st Kidnapped IN Nen,phis.-We copy the following
strange affair from the Memphis Aralanche, of
Thursday:
"Last evening three men arrived in this city on
the steamer John Walsh, and at once proceeded up
town. They returned to the levee in short time,
accompanied by another person, and all four went
on board the steamboat. While conversing in the
| cabin in friendly manner, the three men all at
| once showed their companion into stateroOm and
secured him. They then proceeded to Captain La
mothe, of the Walsh, and told him that they had
arrested man who was guilty of melting in
surrectiOn in Texas and desired to be landed the
| Arkansas side of the river, Memphis as
possible. The captain inquired of some of our cti-
zens if they knew the three men, but as they were
strangers in this section, he refused to have any
thing to do in the matter.
"The prisoner protested his innocence and ex-
| pressed his willingness to return to Texas with his
| child, who live in the city, with his departure.
This refused, and he was placed in a skilf and
| taken to the Arkansas side We could not learn
| the name of the man arrested. We are Informed
| by gentlemen who witnessed the affair that they
would sooner suspect the captors of being guilty
than him. 1t may be, however, that he is guilty,
and if he should be punished. But there Is
way to dispense justice, and we OF Memphis, as
general thing, like to it administered with
order and decency. 1t was the duty OF those
men to take legal steps for the arrest of their
prisoner and the fact that they would not let him
communicate with his wife, even in their presence
shows that there was something loose some where.
On the whole it is one of the strangest affairs
that ever came to our knowledge, and the appear
ances are that very great outrage has been com
mitted."

WARNING TO FREE NEGROES AT EVANSVILLE, ,IND.-
The following handbill has been posted in Evans
vile, Ind. We have no other information than it
contains concerning the formation of Vigilance
Committee at that place:
Notice to Free Negroes.-The laws of Indiana pro-
vide that after a certain date no Free Negro shall
emigrate to this State. Other cities and towns in
Indiana are expelling the negroes from among
them, and owing to the laxity exhibited by au-
thorties and citizens generally, Evansville is being
oyerrun and cursed by the worst class of this lazy
worthless drunken, and thieving race, and to such
an extent that those who have suffered from their
bad conduct are resolved to suffer no longer, and
,oU take the laic in their oiCn hands. This notice is
therefore given, that at the end of FIVE days from
the date hereof every negro, of either sex, who is
not by law entitled to residence among US, must
not be found in the city, else he will be dealt with
in summary manner by
THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.

THE GREAT CR0TON PIPE--BALTIM0RE

AS the new main over the High Bridge is one of
the most interesting and important public works
in progress, and presents in itself and in its
manufacture many features of novelty, we have
taken some pains to gather the following facts in
relation thereto. The tube is made of Baltimore
charcoal pig iron, the plates for which are prepared
at Horace Abbott Sons, Canton Rolling Mills,
Baltimore; firm which has made the widest iron
in the world, sheets ITO inches wide by y an inch
thick having been manufactured by them. The
pigs of iron weigh about 100 pounds each. Several
pigs having been broken up into three four pieces
each. as many as are required are thrown into the
pudding furnaces, with an allowance Of about so
per cent for loss of weight in manufacture. The
mass soon becomes of the consistency of dough,
when it is stirred up with slice bars OF pudding
irons, very much woman would stir up the ma
terial for a loaf of bread
After the lapse of about an hour, It is worked up
into what is termed puddle-ball, in this case of
about 30 inches in diameter, and then by the aid of
tongs and a crane is placed beneath large Ma
smyth hammer, and, after tremendous pounding,
it out in the form of a slab ~ feet long by
Is inches wide and inches thick. After being al
lowed to gradually cool off, this slab is put into
reheatng furnace, where it remains few minutes,
and is then taken out and rolled to the required
thickness, and the ragged edges trimmed off by
means of large shears. The sheets prepared for
this pipe are feet wide by long, and half an
inch thick. The iron used is required to stand
strain of 40 900 pounds per square inch. The pipe
is 1850 feet long and 7% feet in diameter; the tall
est man, therefore, would not Craze his hat in
passing through it. 1t will be made in sections of
II feet. There will be III of these sections, re.
quirng CTS Sheets each of which contains As square
feet, and weighs $50 pounds, or 20 pounds to the
| square foot.
