4 SINGULAR CoINCIDESCE.-It is a singular
historical coincidence that the grandfather
of Major ROBERT ANDERSON, OF the United
States Army, now commanding in Charleston
was an officer in the American lines at the
siege of Charleston, in 1880, by the British,
when it was captured By Cronwallis, their
commander. Eighty-one years have passed
away, and the town which the grand father
fought to save is now in arms against the
Grandson.

The Canadian Fugitive Slave Case,

The history of this case is briefly as
follows: JOHN Anderson, the prisoner.
was The slave Of Moses Benton, in Howard
county, Missouri, from 1914 10 1853. In
the latter year Benton sold him 10 one
Mcdonald, who lived in Saline county, in
the same State. McDonald's residence
was about thiity.two miles distant from
that Of Benton. The vile Of Anderson
lived with Samuel Brown, in Howard
County, about two miles from Benton's
place. In September, 1858, Anderson
ran away from his new master, (Mc-
Donald, )and took refuge on Browns farm,
where he remained for three weeks. On
the Goth OF that month, he was discovered
by one Seneca 7. P. Digges, who de-
manded his pass, and on his failure 10
produce one, denounced him as a rum
away. Anderson started 10 run. Digges
ordered four OF his own Legroes 10 pur-
sue him. Anderson then drew Knife
and threatened to kill any one who came
near him. Digges himself continued the
pursuit and came up with Anderson, who
stabbed him in the breast with long
clasp.knife. Digges turned 10 run from
him and caught his foot in vine and fell;
when Anderson went up to him and
stabbed him in the back and ran off,
Digges got up and walked fifteen or
twenty yards, and then fell, being unable
to gel further. The negroes continued
10 pursue Anderson. but he escaped from
them and found lis way 10 Upper Canada,
where he was recognized and anpre.
hended in the spring OF 1860.
Ills extradition was demanded under
the Ashburton treaty, not as fugitive
from justice and on this ground the
Court ordered his rendition to the author.
lilies of Missouri.
Justice Mclean, in dissenting opinion,
used the following emphatic language:
"The prisoner was committing no crime
in endeavering to better his own condition;
and the fact of his being slave cannot,
in my humble judgment, make that a
crime which would not be so II be were
white man. If, in this country, any num-
Der Of persons were 10 pursue colored
man with an avoweG determination 10 re.
turn him into slavery, it cannot, think,
be doubted that the man pursued would
be justified in using in the same circum-
stances as the prisoner Of ths same means
OF relieving himself from so dreadful
result. Can, then, or mast the iap of
