The BREADsTUFF PANIc.-There is great
excitement !" in onr midst''-as Mr. Jeffer-
son Brick would have written it-'' in our
midst," that is to say, in the region situated
somewhere between the epigastrium and the
thorax-that portion, in short, of the human
physique where the sensation known as hun
ger is commonly felt. Certain wiseacres,
says the Herald and Mirror, drawing terri
bic pictures of what might happen if such
and so were..to be the case, have ventured to
warn the public that scarcity of -four and
other food is impending, and that to the fears
of a hundred nameless diseases predicted as
the inevitable consequences of the general
submergence will be added an unprecedented
mortality from famine. The people of this
State, in any contingencies short of perma
nent immersion in water of the entire coun-
try, need be under no apprehension of such
scarcity. The common supply was shut off
not because the proceeds of the last harvest
had been destroyed, but because .'communi-
cation from point to point has been tempor-
arily stayed between the cities and different
points in the interior. An authority who
knows. assures us that there is now more
wheat and flour In the State, making the
largest allowance for losses and shipments.
than can be possibly consumed during the
year.

\ur. wickiIffe's Negro Abduction

Mr.. WIcKLrFFE, of Kentucky, on the 9Th in
slant, introduced into the House of Representa-
tives bill to protect and grant relief to the
citizens of loyal States, where property 10
slaves has been wrongfully taken and seized
by the officers and soldiers of the United States
army. Mr.. WIcKLIvFE, in explaining the ne
cessity for such an enactment, stated that no.
less than FIVE hundred slaves Of bona jide loyal
masters in Kentucky had been taken and seized
by the army marching through IL under General
BUELL. within month or six weeks. "There
are Colonela," said Mr.. WIoKLIFFE, "now &C.
cupying posts In Kentucky, guarding bridges
and railroads and depots, who are enticing and
seducing the negroes of loyal men to their
camps, and who resist at the point Of the bayo-
net the efforts Of their owners to regain them" ."
He also stated that when the army under Gen.
BUELL. returned into Kentucky, they brought
with them ragged, worn-oui negroes, belong.
ing to the South, that had been captured some
where, or somehow, and they sold some Of them
to his (WIcKLuFE's) knowledge. When they
went off they left others there, and that there
are hundreds of them now held in jsil as runa-
way negroes Me. WlcKIlsTE proceeded to
cite numerous instances Of the forcihle abduc-
ton OF the slaves of loyal masters by officers
and soldiers, and Of their resistance TO the
service of process from the civil courts for the
recovery of such slaves. as
Mr.. WIcKLIFFE moved to refer his bill to o
select committee of three; but Mr.. LovEJoY,
after ridiculing Mr.. WIcKLITFE for introducing
Il, and ssying he (LovEJoY) would ''not aid in
any lssisls.!en that shall allow our officers or
soldiers to engage in the criminal practice of
human being to bondage who has
escaped from under the lash Of the despot that
,wns him." moved to refer the bill to the
Judiciary committee. It was SO referred, and
hat is probably the end of IL.

charges made, or alleged to be made, against

Among these arrests, that of the Hon. Edison
B. Olds, Of Lancaster Ohio, 10 one Of peculiar
hardness, and demands the prompt attention OF
the Government. He Was arrested on the l2ih
of August last, at his home In Lancaster, Ohio,
under the order of the War Department, car.

made by political opponent 10 the heat OF
party contest This report was false, and early
in September evidence Of it's falsity was sent
to the Judge Advocate, consisting OF the aiii-
davita OF fourteen respectable citizens. The
Judge Advocate refused to receive the evidence;
and, though on or about the 30lh of October
last he recomm ended the release of Dr. Olds,
he is still held, and that too without an oppor-
tunity for trial. Such course can not eventu-
ate in good. Perhaps the order OF the War
Department, of the 22d OF November inst
may be intended to release DR.. Olds, though
We are not yet Con the 9th November) advised
of his release.
On behalf Of the law-abiding people of Ohio,
whom we represent In this statement, we insist
that Dr.. Olds shall have, II not already dis
charged, prompt hearing according to the
lave OF this country, and believe that, upon
such hearing, nothing will be shown to impugn
his character as an American citizen.
As the exponents OF the public voice Of Ohio,
as recently expressed in the elections, we insist
that such arrests, unwarrarted as they are by
the Constitution of tho United States, shall
hereafter cease and demand that oil who may
be noV incsrcerated under similar cifcumstanc
es, shall have that trial aud dsliverance which
