How THEY RAISE THE WND.-Among the
items of news from Charleston floating around
loose in secession circles here, is story that
the Hon. VIM. Aiken has been made to eds

as follows: He was notified that he wac expect
ed to advance forty thousand dollars to that
end. He plead his right to advance or not, as
he might please; adding that he did not have
the money. He was then promptly notified that
he had been assessed that much and mus
promptly pay it, under the penalty of having il
raised by the immediate ccnfscaton and sale OF
his property in Charleston, worth many times as
much To save that from utter destruction. h.
did raise the amount demanded, and in paying il

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati, Gase.te.l

The dispatch announcing the noble and pa
triotic attitude assumed yestsrday by Mr.. Chit
tenden in the Senate Of the United States. was
received here to-day with the walsnest express.
sions of qualification. It formed 50 refreshing a
contrast to the craven tone of our late Conven-
ton, that its selfsacrifcing devotion to Liberty
and the Union show the brighter against that
foil a.
The impression is continually gaining ground
among the best informed in this place, that q
peaceful solution of the present imbroglio will
certainly be found. 1t is impossible to be for
any time in Mr.. Lincoln's presence and not feel
q new hope in the fortunes of the country, when
they are committed to his charge.
While there is no man more thoroughly we'd
ded to his own convictions of right and justice,
there is no politician of the present day so wide
in his generalizations, or so tolerant of the prin-
,ciples, or even prejudices Of his opponents. As
long as he is the President elect, no word will
issue from him. of concession to enemies which
would sound like rebuke to his friends-no
cringing to obtain what is his of right.
But when the successful candidate is the &C.
knowledged head of nation filed with incon-
gruous and conflicting elements of interest and
conviction, you will see President for the
whole people-not careless of principle, and vet
most careful of harmony and of the greatest
good. 1t is said by those best qualified to speak,
that he has long cherished the idea announced
by Gov. Seward, in his late speech, of Con-
venton Of the people, to deliberate concerning
amendments to the Constitution-regarding the
people as the supreme court of appeal on all
matters concerning them.
MR.. LINCOLN's CORRESPONDENCE
Suffers no diminution. / learn that his daily
mail amounts to an average of one hundred let
tiers, and papers, pamphlets, poems, odes, and
advertising devices innumerable. The greatest
number, are doubtless from men who, in the
classic language of the immortal exhibitor OF
WAX fggers,' are "hunting a small oriice." But
others are dictated in far more catholic spirit,

were effectual he would by all means let then

TRAIN IN FROM THE WEsr.-Yesterday Con-
ductor Northups train, which left here Tuesday,
came in, making the round trip to Jessup in just
one week. The most Of the time was consumed
on the outward trip as they did not reach Jessup
until Sunday dight-sx days, which we take to
be the longest trip on record.
They left here Tuesday on time, and on that
day succeeded in getting as far as Dyersville.-
The next day they reached Nottingham. Thurs
Gay they made Manchester, and Friday they spent
the night on the open prairie ina big snow drift,
about three miles this side of Independence.
Saturday II. B. Clifford was dispatched out
with train of cars consisting of some body cars
and three engines-two in front and one in the
rear, to pull them out of the snow banks. They

three engines, ran into heavy snow bank and

FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE AT CLEyHLAxD-GREAT
ExCfrENEsr.-The United States officers at
Cleveland on Saturday morning, arrested ne
gro woman, about Is years OF age, who called
herself Ann, as the fugitive slave Of VIM A.
Goshorn, Of Wheeling, vs. she was taken to
jail where she Confessed that she was a fugitive
from Wheeling, and was known to her masters
family by the name Of Lucy. Her escape took
place on the Sd of October last, when she crossed
from Virginia to Beaver, Pa, in company with
one OF her owners daughters; that gentleman
helped her from Beaver to Pittsburg, whence
she went to Cleveland. The Herald of Saturday
evening states that when the woman was found
to be in Jail, great excitement ensued, chiefly
among the eolored population. Probate Judge
D. K. Tilden having granted writ of habeas
corpus, an examination was held in the afternoon
at which the prisoner was not present, as it was
not deemed safe to take her from Jail. The ne.
grOes were very uprorious, and large butchers
knife was taken froLi one man. -
Mr. R. P. Spaldng the Judge having called
the case, denied the authority Of the q. s. Com
missioner to command the jailor of Cuyahoga
county to detain u prisoner or escaped slave
Mr.. S. then read the commitment, and said the
Commissioner had exceeded his duty in command
ing the detention Of the woman Lucy in the
county Jail. He said it was unnecessary for him
to say that an escape from slavery was no crime,
and was not made such even by the Fugitive
Slave Law. The fugitive was never punished
for attempting to escape, aud such attempt could
not be called crime. Then, as the State law
only provides for the detention of criminals, the
Sheriff of Cuyahoga county had no right to de-
tain the woman Lucy upon the Commissioners
commitment. IF the Sheriff holds the prisoner,
he does it entirely through comfy to the U. s.
authorities, and he (Mr 81 protested against
such comfy.
Judge Tilden cautioned the colored people
against any acts of violence, and then announced
that he should hold the case for advsement until
Monday at 9 A N. -,
The Judge charged the Sheriff that the pris-
oner was in his custody, and he should hold her.
Some of the colored people say that a colored
woman named Graves wrote to Lucy's master,
giving information of the fugitive's whereabouts
and they say that after Lucy has been rescued
they will attend to the woman Graves.

weak-backed pniOnis:s would do yell to ponder
at the present time:
disorder and confusion indeed may arise:
scenes of commotion and contest are threatened,
and perhaps may come. With my whole heart |
pray for the continuance Of the domestic peace
and quiet of the country. desire most ardentIy
the restoration of affection and harmony TO ali
its parts. desire that every citizen of the whole
country may look to this government with no
other sentiments but those Of grateful respect
and attachment But cannot yield even to kind
feelings the cause of the Constitution, the true
glory of the country, and the great trust. If the
Constitution cannot be maintained without meet
ing these scenes of commoton and contest,
however unwelcome, they must come. We can
not, we must not, we dare not, omit to do that
which, in our Judgment, the safety of the Unioa
requires. Not regardless of consequences, We
must yet meet consequences; seeing the hazards
which surround the discharge of public duty, ii
must yet be discharged"
