FUGTTIvE SI.AvEs--The figures OF the last
census reveal the curious fact that The nusibes
OF slaves vino escaped ffom their masters in
1860 is not only much less in properties thaa
in 1850, but is greatly reduced numerically -
| Thus, the number OF fugitives in 1850 was l :
OIL, being l.3O Of one per cent of the whole
i1mber; while ii 1860 Only s03 escaped, be-
ing l. 80 of one per cert. In both cases, it is
not pretended that anything like alI Of those
%ho escaped from their masters ca ne into the
free States. The superintendent Of the cen
sus estimates that mp to the present time tie
number of escaI e5 La, been gradually dim;n-
ishing, to such an extent that the whole annu-
/ 81 loss to the SoUthern States from this cause
bears less proportion to ihe amount of api-
tai involved than the daily variations which,
in ordinary times, occur in the fluctuations OF
| State or Government securities in the city OF
New Y 0rk alone II will BE seen, therefore,
how utterly gr, undess is the pretense, once
made so much of, that the insecurity of slave
property had much to do in causing the pres
ent Infamous rebellion. Besides, if the ale
cation had been true, the leaders Of the re-
bellion would have furnished the most remark
able instance on record Of jumping out of the
frying pan into the fire, for there have been
more escapes in the last year than in the pre-
vious quarter of a century, and the process is
only just begun.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN ARIs-oCRACY.-
Two events have occurred recently in England
WHICH are significant of the state of public
feeling toward America. On the annual Com
memoration Day of the Founder of Oxford
the studerts are IN the hahitj before the usual
address is delivered, Of cheering and kissing
the different names of popular or odious pub
lie men as they are proposed. The name of
Garibaldi had been cheered, and that of Ea-
polcon both cheered and hissed, when some
one shouted out the rame of Jefferson Davis;''
it was received with tumultuous and unani-
nous applause. president Lincoln" was
proposed and it was greeted with Kisses and
groans.
The other incident to whicl we allude,
was the public meeting of the operatives in
Manchester; the hard working, plnched, hun
gry masses of men in the cotton and other
manufactures of that city. They were called
together to hear a Propossl from Member OF
Parliament, that the English Government
should intervene in the American civil war
nominally for the sake of peace, brit really to
establish the Southern Confedsracy. These
men had been the great sufferers from our war;
their wives and children were crying vainly at
home for bread to feed them, while all their
aristocratic teachers assured them they had
but to acknowledge the South, and cotton
would pour in its streams of labor and wealth
to them. They had heard continually from
the higher classes, that the only objects of the
North were power and territory, and that the
South were but asserting the rights of the
Declaration of Independence and struggling
| for liberty. With these fallacies before them
with hunger and want behind them, the opera
tives of Manchester reversed the whole object
of the meeting; rejecred the proposition of Mr.
Hopwood; passed motion, with immense ap
plause, in favor of supporting the policy o
President Lincoln.

CONTROLLING rHE INCLINATION.

1t is hard to coutrol the working Of inclina
ton and turn the bent of nature; 6ut that it
may be done, know from experien ce.- God
has given us, in measure, the power to make
our own fate; and when our energies seem TO
demand sustenance they cannot get, when
our will strains after path We may not fol-
low, we need neither starve from inannition
nor stand still in despair. We have but to
seek another nourishmeut for the mind as
strong as the forbidden food it longed to taste
and perhaps purer, and to hew out for the ad-
venturous foot a road as direct as the one For
tune has blocked up against Us, ifrougher than
Chuilote Bronte.

The Pursuitof Fugitive sIafes undsr Difficulties
The Memphis correspondent of the New

incident:

his runaway slaves. Il know of only one
way, sir" replied the General, "and that is
through the Uniled States Marshall" The
unsuspecting planter started in anxious pur-
suit of that officer, and was at last directed tc
Colonel Hillyer's quarters, where he asked:
''Is this the United States Marshall"
"No sir; the Provost Marshal"
"Where can find the United States Mar
shall?"
"Have you business with him."
"Yes sir; want my niggers. General
Sherman says ne is the proper officer to apply
to-"
ooh yes" replied Colonel Hillyer, who per
5eiyed the jol:e;; "he undoubtedly is, SO the law

driven out, and the National codrts broken

inquired sadly if there was no other way OF
recovering his chattels, The General re-
piled:
None to my knowledge, sir -
"What can do about it?"
"Well, sir, the law provided remedy for
you Shareholders, lin cases like this, but you
were dissatisfied ard smashed the machine
If you don't like your own work you'd better
restore it and set it running again. Unless
you do that very soon you'll have no need Of a

NO. 81.


We have a great natural ally among the
nation, and that is Russia. The Importance ol
friendly relations with this great and growing
power cannot be easily over-estimated. 1t is
true that Russia is an absolute monarchy; but
there is no doubt that advancing intelligence
will develop propo,tioBate degree Of politi-
cal freedom. Indeed, there are reasons for be-
leving that the Empire win eventually become
a great republic, or confederation Of republics.
But while speculation upon her futue might be
pursued with interest and probability, her act
ual attitude is full of present importance to US,
as a people. Like the United States, though
for a different reason. Russia stands alone a
mong the nutions-ieared and respected, but
nn5eoved. Like the United State5, eh5 is the
great aistarbei of that ancient engine of des-
potism, the balance Of power.
