An Agency TO Assiss fagitioe Slaces TO
Return to their Masters. An enterprising
Southerner has opened an agency in Detroit
with the charitable view of assisting those
fugitive slaves in Canada who desire it.,
to return to their masters. The Free Press
says
He says that he has MADE such investlga-
tons in Canada, especially at Chatham and
other places where Africans most congre-
gate, to satisfy him that large numbers of
them are anxious and ready to return to
their masters at the South if they only had
the means, and he proposes to furnish them
with transportation tickets and to send them
in company with an agent, looking to their
owners for remuneration for his benevo-
lence. He is evidently man of nerve and
determination, and is possessed OF the means
to carry out his project 4.t.
The following is his circular addressed to
the colored population:
The undersigned having made arrange
ments a t the South to furnish means to those
of the colored population who are DESTROYS
of returning, has taken an office at No. 2
Desnoyer's block, entrances on Jefferson av-
enne and Bates street, where he can be
found from 10 A. NJ. to p. NJ. Arrange
ments entered in with parties will be guar
antend beyond question as to the strict full
hllment of all obligations. Parties DESTROYS
of retaining can communicate with the I'M
dersig ned, either personally or by letter.

There are numbers of the poor creatures
who are starving to death 10 consequence of
their inability to support themselves, and We
have no doubt that the new enterprise will
have successful run Of business.

The Late Tragedy in Franklin County,
The Lynchburg Republican of Tuesday,
says that MIR. Vincent Witcher and his
grandson, who killed the Messrs Clements,
ia Franklin county, Va, on Saturday, sur
rendered themselves to the authorities, and
were promptly acquitted on the ground of
sslf-detence. The same paper, speaking of
Mr.. Witcher, says:
Capt. Vincent Witcher is one of the first
men in the State, and represented the coun.
ty OF Pittsylvania in the Senate of Virginia
for many years, and was also brou ght before
the Legislature of Virginia during his term
of service as Senator, as candidate for Gov
ernor, and came within two votes of being
elected. OF late years Capt. Witcher serv.
ed as President of the Richmond and Dan
vile Railroad but resigned about two years
ago on account of his age.
The Enquirer OF Wednesday notices for
mer ARRAY growing out of the same cause
which led to the recent one, as follows:
A suit was instituted in the fall of 1859 ,iby
Victoria Clements against her husband,
James Clements, for divorce. Dispositions
were taken soon after the instisution of the
suit, which gave rise to difficulty between
the defendent and VIM. p. Gilbert, in which
both of these gentlemen, as well as brother
OF Mr.. Gilbert, were seyerely.wounded.

The Pittsburgh Post says that manufacto-
~ of bogus coin has been discovered in that
city, conducted by former inmate of the
Penitentiary, where Mexican coins having
the appearance of copper, about the size of a
franc piece, and worth four cents, are ex-
BY machinery run by steam power, and are
very perfect. The establishment turns out
some ten thousand of these coins daily, and
they are transported to Mexico in novel
and ingenious manner, the coin being pack,
ed in hollow cast iron cylinders, closed up at
both ends, which have the weight and ap-
pearance of solid iron columns, thus eluding
the vigilance OF the Mexican Authorities
In Mexico the coins would pass readily on
the unsuspecting natives. As the manutac-
ture Of foreign coins ia no crime under our
laws, and there is no Mexican consul here,
no immediate steps will be taken for the
punishment Of the offenders

The Cincinnati Enquirer late Douglas
democrat, gives the following ult;mahm to
the Black Republican Chief:
The withdrawal from the Union of some
hall-dozen States by the 4th Of March,
may, for all practical purpose, be regarded
rs already accomplished. The disasters
that are likely to follow such an event,
and the means of avertipg or modifying
them, should receive prompt consdcra-
ton. A great point is to keep the border
Statcs-Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and North
Caroina-irom following the example Of
the Gulf States. That can be done by
strengthening the influence of the Union
loving men in those States. And that
can only be accomplished by removing all
just cause of complaint that the South
may have against the North. We must
keep them bound to us by justice, kind
ness and interest. The President elect
has it in his power, in this connection, to
make for himself n name second only to
that Of Washington. We have heretofore
board the Republican party-renounce it
completely and entirely. Let him mako
up his Cabinet and announce it at an early
day-the earlier the better. Let him
choose for his Cabinet distinguished citi-
zcns Of the South, from among those who
did not vote for him, and distinguished
citizens of the North from among the con-:
scrvatives Of the Republican party. ThaJ(

Agitation.

1t is certainly to be regretted that any
portion OF the press of the State should
now be engaged in keeping up and en-
couraging a spirit of rancor and bitterness,
Yet it is so. Every article cmanating from
rabid and insane abolition writers is seiz-
ed with avidity and paradcd in their col
umns with evident relish. We have all
been partizans long cnough--lct us drop
that character, and be patriots, at least
until existing troubles and dangers are
disposed of. We want to see public SEN
timent in this State consolidated in uni
on and harmony, not in madness and
excitement. Those who labor to work
the people up to state of haste and pre-
cipitation, are bad advisers and unsafe
guides. We admit the prospect for main
tanning the present Union is dark. But it
is not altogether desperate; and il it was,
so much more reason for calmness and
freedom from excitement. When the
house is on fire you can hardly arrest the
flames by casting combustiblcs into the
burning building If the nation is bent
on suicide, let's 60 about it deliberately.
The act can be just as well committed to-
morrow as to-day-perhaps better. Po-
stions taken under undue excitement,
are sometimes untenable and have to be
receded from. at would be well to be
discreet now, if we were never discreet
before" gitation-agitation North, and
counter agitation South induced the
present troubles and dangers, and its con-
tinuance only tends to thicken and in
tensify, not disperse, them. If we have
any rights in the Union, don't get in a
hurry to runaway from them-to rush out
and have the door double locked and bolt
ed behind us. There is an occasional
CLEAN of light, notwithstanding South
Carolina has already seeded from Column
bia down to Charleston. Above all, let
us unite, not distract our people, so that
when the election for delegates to the Con-
vention comes on, we shall be in con-
dition to select wise and good men, and
not political puppets and ranting parti-
zans

Sensible Talk.

A writer in the Nashville Banner, over
the signature of "Fabius," breaches the
strong words Of truth and soberness"
upon the mad proposition to break up
the government. We give an extract
from his last article:
"And what are the false pleas held out
to the people for these departures from
the teachings of their fathers? We hear
much of "aggressions" from all quarters,
not from the North alone that is not
the burden OF the cry that goes up at
prcscnf. ii is the "accursed Unionp that
bears heavily on the Secessionists, that
cramps their energies, and dwarfs their
commerce; that causes Rhett 4 Co.
to wish to set up for themselves. These
men do not now complain of the effects
of multiplying fugitive slave laws, but they
cannot bear the sway of the general gov;
ernmo ut. They declare it IS "too late" to
listen to proposed redress of grievances.
Do not all know this to be SO?
Let me whisper a few words in your
ear, . citizens of Tennessee-let me do
this seriously, sedately; you who until
this late fuss never knew, intellectually, you
were oppressed or "aggrcsscd" upon ut
all. Are we not all in the situation of
the man who went into court, and heard
from his lawyer plea on his behalf of SO
lachrymose a character, that he fell to
weeping. from sheer sympathy with his
own sutlerngs, expressing at the same
| time his belief that she didn't know hos
much he had been abused, until he heard
his lawyers plea 7" Has the General Coz:

State of Feeling To-Day.

Charleston, Dec. l7.--This is the day set
apart for the State Convention at Column
bia. Some of the delegates are of the
anti-Rhett school, and the Governor elect
is of that school, also. Among those who
desire to avoid precipitate action are some
of the leading men of the State, like the
Hamptons, Prestons, Orrs, Mannings
Memmingers, Hugers, but though against
the precipitation and for dcliberation,
they are none the less for Secession
There are still more moderate class here,
who are for cooperation with other South
ern States, but such are overruled for a
season. Our thoughtful people, while ex-
pecting the worst consequences from Sc
cession, are preparing for the worst.

the Commissioners who will be selected to

Greeley on Coercion,

But if the Cotton States generally unite
with South Carolina in seeding, we insist
that they cannot be prevented, and that
the attempt must not be made. Five
millions Of people, more than half of them
of the dominant race. of which at least
half million are able and willing to
shoulder muskct, can never be subducd
while fighting around and over their own
hearthstoncs. If they could be, they
would no longer be equal members of the
Union, but conquered dependencies
Suppose they could be overcome and their
military forces destroyed; what them
Can you compel them to send members
to Congress? Can you make them accept

tarring and teathering those who do? If
not, how idle to talk Of subduing them.

Hon. Jere Clemens.

This gentleman has written quite n
lengthy letter in which he takes the
ground that separation of the Confed-
cracy is imminent-n fact, at hand
He, however, counsels Alabama to de-
liberation-and to arm and prepare for
the results. We can only quote one para
graph:
The Governor should be requested to
convene the Legislature for the purpose
of putting the State in an attitude to
maintain whatever policy is adopted
do not suppose that there are twenty
pieces of artillery in the State, and have
no idea that there are one hundred can
non balls. | know there is not in the
whole Of the Tennessee Valley, arms and
ammunition enough to resist the incursion
of five hundred maraudcrs and do not
hesitate to say, that n well armed and
well disciplined regiment could march
from the Mississippi to the Georgia line
and never meet force that was able to
stand against them. A State so situated
absolutely requires time for preparation,
and the delay incident to the plan
suggest is necessity in any aspect of the
case. Talking of peoceabie secession will
not make it peaceabe. We may assert
the right as loudly as we please, but it
will be respected only when we have arms
in our hands; and the act of plunging
into revolution before we are half ready
is simply to invite desolaton to our
homes, and erect gibbets for our most
prominent citizens.
