The CANADA FUGITIVE Casa fugitive
sIave case has lately been before the Cana
da Courts, which has excited considerable
interest, both in that country and the Uni
ted States. An escaped slave named An
derson had been arrested under the extra
dition treaty, and after careful hearing,
the Court of Queens Bench decided that
the case clearly came within that clause Of
the treaty requiring persons charged with
crime to be returned. The case, however,
was appealed to higher Court, and final
decision was given on the 10th Of February.
The Court sustained the decision of the
Queens Bench, on the question Of law, but
discharged the prisoner on technicality.
Anderson was therefore set at liberty, to
the great joy of the colored population.
This is q reversal Of the decision of the CAL
ifornia Supreme Court 10 the Archy case
In the latter case Judge Burnett gave the
law to the North aud the niger to the
South, but the Canada Court gives the law
to the South and the niger to the North.
The judiciary is queer institution.

Jefferson Davis was inaugurated as Pres
ident of the "Confederate States of Ameri-
ca, at Montgomery, on the 18th Of Feb,
and bis inaugural address, as reported by
telegraph, is published in the Union of
Thursday. Judging from this document
the Cotton States have separated from the
Union, not on account of any real grievan-
ces, but because they believed il to be to
their intesest. He speaks of "many years
of controversy" with The Northern States,
and of having 'vainly endeavsred to secure
tranquility" and respect for their "rights," !"
but does not specify single instance in
which the tranquility of COttondOm has
been disturbed, or their rights encrOached
upon by the Federal Government.
The Inaugural is said to have given great
offense to the people Of the border States,
as it not only sets at defiance all their Of
fers of mediation, but intimates that they
will not be permitted to have any part or
lot in the glorious career upon which the
Cotton States have now entered. On this
subject Davis says:
With Constitution differing only from that
of our fathers in so far as it is explanatory of
their well known intent; free from sectional
conflicts, which have interfered with the pursuit
of the general welfare, it is not usual Lunrea-
sonablc Z to expect that the States from which
we have recently parted may seek to unite their
fortunes under the government we have insti-
tuted. For this your Constitution makes ade-
quate provision. But beyond this, if mistake
not, the judgment and will of the people are
thai ipnion with the States from which we have
separated, is neither practicable nor desirable.
From this authoritative declaration, we
conclude that a fence has already been
erected on the northern boundary of the
Confederate States" to prevent any exten-
sion ia that direction.
jeff Davis and the politicians Of his
school have now accomplished what they
have been working for for many years
they have "precipitated the Cotton States
into revolution" To effect this result they
broke up the Democratic party at Balti-
more, and by putting up boiling candi-
date assisted 10 the election of Lincoln, in
order to give them pretext for seeding.

DISTRESS AT CHARLEsToN-How CALL
FoRNIA Is AFFECTED.-In the meantime, the
distress in the South increases daily, as con-
sequence Of the secession movement. The State
troops at Pensacola have mostly withdrawn
from the field, having become discouraged and
demoralized by inactiOn, want of provisions,
sickness, ETC., and at Charleston, also, the muir
muring Of the volunteers has become quite au-
dible. / see private letters every day nearly,
coming from authentic sources in Charleston
and other parts of the State, all concurring in
the statement that business is stagnated, that
taxes are already very burdensome, that reign
of terror prevails, and that inevitable bankrupt
cy is the lot of the people unless some peaceful
adjustment of their relations to the Federal
Government is speedily arranged. This, you
may rely upon it, is not an oyerrdawn picture.
And out of all the evil comes one good for Cal
ifornia, to wit that the men Of means, who
foresee already the time when taxation will
press them out of the Southern Confederacy"
or the seeding States, almost invariably look
to the Pacific coast for place of refuge and
their future honest Wash. Cor. Bulletin.

LIncoIn's Policy.

The speeches Of Lincoln while on his way
by the most direct route, from Springfield to
Washington. and the action of his party in
Congress, afford some indications of the pol
icy that will be adopted by the new Admin
istration. The idea of marching an army
down South, with the view of subverting
the provisional government instituted by
the Cotton States, We presume has never
been entertained by Lincoln, or any con-
siderable number of bis party. But the
passage in the House of Representatives of
what is known as the "force bill," and
which was doubtless introduced at Lincoln's
suggestion, indicates determination to col
lect the revenue from goods coming into
Southern ports, even If it has to be done by
men-of-war outside the harbors. The forts
which are still held by the Federal Govern
ment 10 the seeding States will be rein
forced, and probably an attempt will also be
made to retake the forts that have been
seized. The right of the Cotton States to
secede will not be admitted, nor their inde-
pendence acknowledged. This policy may
produce occasional collisions during the
next two Or three years, but nothing that
could be called civil war. The Cotton
States have not the means to send an army
North, aud with the exception OF few fa-
natics, no one in the North will be disposed
to send force South to coerce the seeding
States.

The UTAH DELEGATE.-The Silver Age
says that those best acquainted with the
Mormon strength, are of the opinion that at
the next election for Delegate to Congress
the Genties, if unanimous, can elect their
candidate against all opposition. This, the
Age says, will be worth trying for, and to
that end it recommends that the people
should sink all minor differences, place but
one candidate in the field, and give him ev-
cry Gentle vote in Utah Territory.

IMPORTANCE OF THE VIRGINIA CONTEST.
The importance Of the late contest in Vir-
ginia, which has fortunately been decided as
the friends Of the Union hoped, is shown by
the appended note from Senator Douglas, which
he wrote day or two before the election, to a
gentleman residing in Petersburg:
have only time, in reply to your inquiry,
to gay that there is hope of preserving the peace
and the Union. All depends upon the action
Of Virginia and the Border States. If they
remain in the Union, and aid in a fair and just
settlement, the Union may be preserved. But
if they seoede under the fatal delusion or a re-
construction, l fear that all is lost. Save Vir-
ginia, and we will save the Union.

SILVER CTY.-The editor Of the Silver
Age has lately permitted the light Of bis
countenance to irradiate the street of Silver
City, and speaks thus of the town and its
inhabitants
Silver City is essentially a mining town,
producing at this time more of the precious
metal than all the balance of the Territory,
we mean of course in an available shape.
Its numerous Mills appear to be unceasing-
ly engaged, aud the monOtonous crash Of
its many stamps produces a sensation not
unlike that Of dead silence the unaccus-
toned ear is kept on continual strain,
watching for a change in the programme,
until aud overwhelming fatigue" weighs
down the listener, and be is fain to escape
from the unvsrying din. In Silver City ev-
cry thing is sacrificed to utility, and nOugbt
of beauty in sight, or sound, or sentiment,
greets its denizins The common eOnver-
sation is of groupings, indications, prospects
traces Of silver, and yield of gold. The
Pick aud Shovel are equipments according
to law association is fast marking the old
er citizens their eyes have metallic lustre;
their lips wear a chrysLalized smile their
hearts are turning to stone and their gait
as firm as the price of their stocks.

FOREIGN MINERS TAx.-The collectors
Of the foreign miners tax were arrested last
week for forcing some Cinnamon on Fremont's
grant to pay the license, when they were already
in possession of the license of Col. Fremont to
mine. The charge was robbery. The Maripo-
sa Gazette says, alt is generally acknowledged
that foreign miners licenses cannot longer be
collected upon the estate"

LECTURE ON WAsHINGToN.-The Acade-
my of Music, at San Francisco, was literally
crowded on Monday evening to listen to the
Rev. T. Starr Kings lecture on Washington,
notwithstanding it had been delivered there as
lately as the 23d ult. Incidentally, says the
Bulletin, the lecturer suggested to the military
of the city grand celebration on the Goth Of
June, in commemoration Of the day when the
stars and stripes were adopted as the national
flag Of the Union.

GREAT preparations are being made at Tou-
lon, France, for an experiment to be tried with
the steel-plated frigate Gloire. This vessel is
TO be impelled with all the power of steam to
strike against ship-of-the4ine, and endeavor
to cut her in two with her bronze prov. The
steam engines of the Gloire are enveloped in
mattresses, to protect them from being too
much shaken by the force of the shock. Should
it succeed, several large steamships will be
built on the plan of the Gloire.

died instantly. Hagge received a shot in the
forehead, and died at eight O'Clock the next

ted to escape. He was fired on and instantly
