We are particularly indebted to several of our friends for the active part they have lately taten in extending our subscription list, and we take this method of returning our thanks. A reference to a few particular cases will show whit a little exertion and enterprise can do. A friend at Bloomington has, in a short time, increased our list at that post o.Tice alone, from some 20 to upwards of 130 ! In a few month- last past, our lists in Charlestown, Franklin, Gennantown, Annapolis, Logansport, Rockville, Montezuma, BloomSeld, New Maysville, Noblesvillc, Milroy, Ladoga, Andrsontown, Plymouth, Danville, Mooresville, Brownsburjrh, Belleville. Spencer, Sugar ! Creek, St. Omar, Jefferson, New Winchester, East j Germantown, Kinnard, Strawtown, Leesville, Woodbury, Muncietown, and several other places, have been increased from ten to a humlrtd each ! This is doing the thing up right! If one in fifty of our subscribers would do as well, we should soon be enabled to procure additional machinery, (which is our desire) and otherwise improve the paper. To perfect the improvements as we wish, would involve an expenditure of near three thouand dollar. To obtain this sum, we must depend entirely on our friends; and they can, if each and every one will obtain us one or two regular subscribers, which it seems to us might easily be done. It would be for their benefit as well as our own. It is a fact, which, though often asserted, is not generally known, that the papers at the capital of this Staid do not receive the patronage now, and never did, to make them as efficient as they ouht to be. Costing nearly llHJ per cent, more in their conduct and management at this point than in the country, it is impossible to incur the necessary expenses desirable without bankrupting the conductors, unless they are more liberally patronized. Either of the two great political parties of this State can cast upwards of GO.IXX) votes. Then why cannot a leading paper at this point have al least 10,000 subscribers, or less than one in six of the voters 1 If every voter but did his duty to himself, his Stale, and his political principles, double that number could be had, and each and every '. local paper in the State be increased in a similar ' ratio, and all would be the gainers. What say our friends, one and all, to mike the trial of increasing our list! A threat Oiler. As an inducement to have our subscription list still further increased, (it now being larger than it ever 1 has been.1 we nrooose to make the f illnwino- nffir " : has been,) we propose to make the following offer That county sending us the largest list of subscribers in proportion to its population, during the year, say commencing on the 1st of September, 1847, and ending on the 31st of August, l-ite, shall be entitled to the same number of papers, to the same peron.i, for the succeeding year, without charge. The subscriptions to be according to our published terms. There is a chance, now, that ought to set every body at work ; and we desire all wins are active in attempting to obtain this bonus, just togo it strong." Mamson, Aug. 20, 1847. To the "Old Cock :" Being pretty generally known around these diggings" as a dealer in that valuable and useful article called "coon skins," a whig friend of mine has doce me the honor of presenting mc with the accompanying razor, more as I iiijose, on account of the inscription than anything else connected with it. And as I have for a long time been an admirer of the energy and skill with which you have fought the ''varmints, and as to that kill and energy more than any other circumstance, are we indebted for the preservation of the recommendation of this article, I have taken the liberty of forwarding it to you, hoping you will find it capable of doing as good service for you as your crowing has done the party. J. M. Accompanying the above we received a beautiful razor, on the blade of which is emblazoned "TVS Chapman to Crow" for which we tender our acknowledgments. And to the flattering compliment contained in the accompanying note, we can only say, that we have endeavored to do our duty in our humble manner ; and however much we may have fallen ahort, must be attributed to the want of ability rather than to want of inclination. A more faithful discharge of it, and greater exertions are necessarily called forth when met by stich approval; and we can only say, that if our Ten will keep the edge of our Razor, we shall continue the business of "skinning," until, hkc the poor native of the forer-t, we are obliged to "leave for sun-down" to '-find the came."

TcMitiioiiiul to tlic Merits of Silas W rig lat. The news of the death of Silas Wright had reached New York just as his friends were about to give a public tcstimcnvil of 'lie his'1 rf,gir la which leY hold his character and his public services. A subscription paper was circulated some weeks since among the mefchants of that city, of which the following is a copy : "The Merchant of the City of New Yoik, desiring to

pieseia thiough Gen. John A. Dix. a Setvire of Plate to Silas Wright, aa a testimonial of Ibeit eteem and respect fur his public ai.d personal chaiacter, lesoectively subscribe for that puipose the following ums t A considerable sum was immediately collected, and a service of plate was ordered, bearing this inscrip tion : rarscwTED TO SILAS WRIGHT, BT His Mercantile friends of the City of New Yoik, ia le.Umvuy of ibeir high lespect and regaid for his rCBLtC AUD rBIVATC CHARACTER, 4th July, 1847.w The service of plate is nearly ready for the presentation, which was to have taken place in a very few days. It will of course now pass into the possession of his family. As a testimonial to his merits, says the Eve. Tost, it ia the spontaneous tribute of men, who had no interested designs to promote by what they have dene. The contributors are nut politicians of that class who are looking for offices or would even accept them if offered. They admired and revered the man, and wished to give him a token of their sincere and unbougbt respect both for bis public and his private virtues. Gov. Wright, says the Albany Atlas, was only 52 years cf age. He was born in the town, of Am. herst, Massachusetts, on the 24'Ji day of May, 1793. The subsequent year his father and family removed to Vermont. In 1515 he was graduated at Middlebury College, in that State, and in the fall of that year removed to this State, to commence the study of law at Sandy Hill. In the fall of 1323 he was elected to the State Senate, from St. Lawrence county. In 182G he was elected to Congress. In 139 he was chosen State Comptroller, to which office he was in 1332, reelected by the Legislature. In 1333 he was chosen U. States Senator, to w hich office he was re-elected in 1337, for the term of six years. In 1343 he was J agnin re-elected, and in 1344 was called from the Senate o take the post of Governor, on which he en tered on the 1st of January, 1345, and from which he retired on the 1st of January, 1317. The Republican and Sentinel of Ogdensburg, give a few particulars of the calamity which struck down one of the noblest men in the country. On Friday morning he called at the post office, (which is also the medical office of Dr. Darius Clark, his family physician,) and seating himself, was perusing his papers. when he was seized with a pain in the client, of which lie complained, and said that it was extending through his limbs, and that tiiey were powerless. His physician was culled in, and after receiving some aid, he remained an hour, or thereabouts, when Dr. Clark accompanied him to his house. He took to bed and the Doctor got liim into a gentle perspiration and left, a few minutes after which he departed this life from apoplexy. The intelligence of the departure of this great and good man from the 6cene of earthly hopes and ambition, was communicated before night on Friday, throughout the line of telegraphic communication as far west as Columbus, Ohio, and east to Boston, and ßouth to Richmond, Va. The shock that paralyzed that iioble heart and closed forever the working of that calm, strong brain, spread through the fame of the country and was imparted, almost simultaneously, to millions of sympathising minds. No better idea can be given of the pursuits and character of Silas Wright than is furnished by the following narrative of an officer of the army, who had visited him at his own home and fireside: "I had occasion to visit Canton in October, and as 80tm as 1 "nted" I inquired for the residence of Mr. Wright. I was directed to a small neat cottage, I wanner l mane my way; ana on approaching n i i paw a man, with his coat off, wheeling a whetlbarrow 'VVKS "l a verJ UHe ,r'ica u-n ntt.n-hprl tn fhf hmwn An I r.imo iii,r I linv. ered tiat the laborer was my friend Wright.

He further said, with the greatest apparent satisfaction, that he had recently purchased a farm, and intended to extend his agricultural operations. He was asked how large the farm was that ILJ 1 I a,.t l I . J A - lie uau purrnao iu which lie earn, iwcniu acres; that either from natural inclination, or the effect of, early habit, he was much uch devoted to the Dure and simple pursuits and pleasures of the country." - . Death or Silas Wright. We are pained to announce the Midden decease of the Hon. Silas Wright. This sudden bereavement will cause a thrill of anguish in a multitude of hearts. Mr. Wright has long been one of the most prominent citizen of this State ; has filled the office of Governor and U. States Senator, and at the date of his decease would probably have been President of the United States, hud. he not peremptorily refused to be a candidate. He possessed a strong and well-balanced mind, and unbending integrity. Few men of ski much political distinction have closed life with a reputation so enviable. He was naturally of a full habit, with a tendency of blood to the head. To this tendency doubtless, i to be attributed his sudden departure. His age we do not know, but suppose it must have been about C5.-aY. Y. Journal of Commerce. Respect io the Memory of Gov. Wright. On the announcement of the death of this distinguished man the national flag was displayed at half mast from all the public buildings and hotels in the city. N. Y. Jour, of Cmn. Stages. We are gratified to state that Messrs. J. & P. Voorhees & Co. are now running a daily line of four horse Tost coaches through to St. Louis. This is the line which caused so much trouble a few months back, and turned many a passenger in other directions. They also run a line direct to Springfield, 111. The coaches are all entirely new, and furnished with the best of teams and careful drivers. The running time from this city to St. Louis is 50 hours, being the quickest and cheapest route to that place. We state these facts for tie information of the public and our friends generally, who will be governed accordingly. Our word for it, they will meet with neither unnecessary delay nor disappointment uuder the present manaiemcnt.

We Lojk; to see the Journal one day "indopendent" enough to "speak out it real sentiments," instead of, as ucial, resorting to tho most miserable species of clap-trap for no other purpose than to throw dust in the eyes of it readers. The Erookville American says : " By a letter from Dr. Geo. Berry, to a friend in this place, we learn that the Doctor intend returning home in November, and will claim his seat in the Senate of luJ.ana. He contend that he is entitled to it."

This, however, does not prevent others from volunteering; and those who do so earliest, will stand the best chance of beini retained. We have concluded it best to publish the orders of the Adjutant General in full assuring all desirous of going, that they must enrol their names quickly, or they will be too late. This also is tlte very best sea son to go to Mexico, as on their arrival, cool weather will have set in, and no doubt but the regiment, under the gallant Lane, will be immediately marched to the table lands of Mexico, where the climate is as healthy and delightful as any in the world.

James H. Lane, of Lawrencebuigh, "authorizing him to raise for the war, a regiment of volunteer infantry, to be funned wholly or principally from the officers and men of this State, who have been in service in Mexico t" An o whereas, the undersigned is by said communication, requested to co-optrats in raising and niganizing the said regiment in conformity with ceitain regulations therein enclosed, which are embiaced in tbe subjoined General Order, and to cause to be appointed ia accordance with the laws of the State, such of th officers of the regiment as may not be already in commission, Now therefore, I, James Wbitcomb, Governor of the State of Indiana, in behalf of our common country, do hreby invite the patriotic officers and men above indicated, and such other citizens as may be found necessary to complete their numbers, to proceed forthwith and organize themselves into volunteer companies with all possible despatch, to serve during the war, unless sooner discharged, and to report the fact of auch, their organisation, with the least practicable delay to the Adjutant General of this State, at this place. And in conformity with the request of the Acting Secietaiy of War, that a place of rendezvous be appointed on the Ohio river, for the several compauies as fast as they shall be organized, a suitable and convenient place will be designated iu ample time lor mat puipose.

I. As the company only have the titfht, under the laws of the Mate, to elect their captain, as well as their other Com missjoued officers, no person need to wait for a more special ! authority to raise a company. Should any one iaie a dm- I nanv in Ihe hone of hein.. it. futme commandant, his uecess will piobably be consideied by them as sulhcivnt e i- 1 dmce t.f his slauding and fitness for the Station.

To this end the Inspector win ue accuiupaoieu uy a nieuicai oiucer ui ine Aimy, auu the volunteers will be submitted to bis examination." VIII.

In this latter case tbe advanced commutation for clothing will be paid on the Captain's ceilificate that be ia satisfied ii will be o applied." IX. Tbe volunteers, on their arrival at the place of rendezvous, and thenceforward will be furnished with quarters, camp equipage, fuel, cooking utensils, and subsistence by the United States. Tbe less baggage of any kind, (except suitable clothing.) that can be taken from hone to tbe place of rendezvous, the better for the soldier, as the United Stales will furnish all necessary articles of the kind at that point, and those taken, (at least if not of the proper desctiptioo,) will not be paid foi by the United States. As in that case tbey would be cast aside, they will be a useless expense. X. Arras, accoutrements and ammunition will also be furnished to tbe several companies by the United Slates. XI. Besides Ibeir monthly pay in cash, each non-commissioned officer, musician, and private, who may serve during the preseut war, or who shall have been discharged before the expiration of his time of service, in consequence of wounds received or sickness incurred in the course of such service, will be entitled to a bounty of 1G0 acres of laud, lo be located by the volunteer or by his heirs, at any land office of the United States, he or they may choose, or instead of the land, be may if he desires it, receive a treasury scrip for one hundred dollars, bearing an interest of six per cent, per annum, payable half yearly. XII. In respect to subsistence before arriving at the place of lendezvous, and for travelling home from the place of discbarge, the allowance is fifty cents for every twenty miles distance, to be paid by the United States, but not until after Ihe volunteer is received into the service. XIII. The proper office is of tbe Staff Departments of tbe United States will be immediately scot to the place of rendezvous, with funds lo defray the necessary expenses which may be incurred, agieeably to law. XIV. Kach Volunteer, except commissioned officers, will receive from tbe United States, besides his clothing psy, an allowance for travelling fiom his home to lhat place. As this is 60 cents for eveiy 29 miles, it will be more than sufficient to defray the expenses in travelling there. If the officers of a company, or any citizens could advance the sum riecessaty to gel the men to the place of rendezvous it might be done without the slightest risk or loss, by the men signing an older 19 tbe paymaster to retain from their pay the amuuot advanced, and pay the same over to those who bad advanced it. This course was pursued last yesr by many of the companies without the slightest loss ar difficulty, and thereby much delay was avoided. XV. In relation to clothings a dress or parade uniform is never required in actual service, and doubtless would not be used by either officer or private of the present regiment, duung their term, even if procured, io puichase such would Ibetefort be a useless expense. A service uniform only Is Qccc'tary. Il is iceotnmcuded that for neatness and

'he sides. The servants and fcorporlas aie tj be dressed as

private, except lhat sergeants Will wear white woisted epault ttes on each shoulder, and white wotsted stripes down the sides of their pnis, and corporals will wear white worsted epaulettes without tbe stripes. The otdetly sergeant will be distinguished by a red worsted sash on duty. XVI. No more will be needed for each man thin .oe uniform suit, two pair of stout shoes with bioaJ and thick soles, a lorage cap. two cotton shirt, two flannel shiits, two pair of diaweis, four pair of stockings and ona g'od blanket. All these mitteles ran d tubtless be procuied in a Oy deniable quantity, and made to older on reasonable terms, at or near the place of rendezvous, wbeie,as has already been remarked, the funds will be furnished by the United Slates Iu euable the volunteers to procure them. XVII. As the authoiity to raise the regiment is by Ihe Department given to Col. Lne, no company will legatd itself as accepted until a written communication from him to that effect is leceived ty a member of Ihe company. All applications on the subject, theief ie, should be adJiesscd to Col. James II. Lane at Indianapolis. And as it is required by tbe War Dipaitmeoi, that the regiment shall te " foimed wholly or pinicii ally from the efficers and men who have been in service in Mexico, the following rules become necessary for r liny ing out that object: 1. The invitation is extended to all of the requisite age and vior, whether they ha been io service or not for the putpoe of filling up deficient numbers, if ntcessaiy. But, 2. Should any one who has been in service fiom this State in Mexico, apply to be received into any company after it is full, without regard Io where Ibeir resideuce may have been in the State, tbey will have the prcleieoce, and for that puipose an tqual number of fiesh tecruits who have not been io service and who were last rereived on the company! list, will give place to them. New tecruiis will not be disturbed unless applications on the part cf voluntteis who have been in service aie made, and then only to the extent ef such applications. 3. After the companies are reported to Col. Lane, be will still give the prefeience by accepting, in order, such companies as have the largest number uf volunteers who have alteady been in service in Mexico, until the ten compauies composing the regiment, are completed. 4. As there are 30 companies of returned voluoteers in the Slate, and as it is not probable that any one of those companies will or can be collected and vffeied entire and complete, and as but 10 companies are now wan ed, the propriety is suggested of differeot fiaclions of returned companies joining together tinder the piescut iequiiliou, for the purpose of making whole companies. XVIII. To avoid all error or mistake, the offer of a com. pany to Col. Lane for acceptance must be accompanied with a complete list or roster of the names of all the members of the company stating against each name whether the member is a new recruit or a returned volunteer. XIX. The commissions will be issued after the company to which they belong is accepted, and of course not un'il Col. Lane reports it to the uuderigned as by him accepted. XX. No company theiefore will march to the place of rendezvous until directed by CuL Lane, which will be done in all ra-es by letter. XXt. The commander-in-chief will repair to the place of rendezvous, wheu the regiment is concentrated theie, to aid in its final organisation, and geneially of consulting the comToit and wellaie ot the troops XXII.

Cuba. I LAW 1TOIS. Some of our cewspapers are veiy busy about CuM. Of these, some say that we ought to annex it immediately; The Cincinnati Herald contains a report of the triOthers that, Spain would readily se i it to u, and that the , r , . ,. r ., tl ,t v; Cuban, would le.d.ly luinish the price by tutsctipti.-n ; and al of.a eUe ca!e' Drie!1 ranbh' ln lhe U' yet others that, if we do nut seize it, the BiitUb government Circuit Court, at Columbus, at th July term. We

will. The subject is ceitainly important, and Iheiefotc ihould not be hastily decided. We doubt not that Biitish intn-ue 1 is busy about plans to acquire this magnificent country. At the same time, we aie Dot blind to the American intrigue that covets Cuba for a far different puipose lhau keeping it out of British bands. Let us not be the dupe of either. As a fundamental principle of Amencan policy, we assume that Cuba must be kept out ol Bnti-h hands. Its position, which tenders it ihe key to the Gulf of Mexico, and consequently to tbe valley, ol the Ohio Mississippi, and Missouti, tbo-i roughly foil ids such a destiny. Dur natural rivals, not to .ay natural enemies, are tnt.enched along our Northern and Eaktem frontier. They own the Bermudas, a naval station dnectly in our path to Europe, and consequently a point of formidable annoyance to our commerce in any war between , ife'niTV.t'i'' t.A"d tha,Kk. VVi tiU, f.

And then they will have a Halifax and Bermuda on our Pacific, as they have on our Atlantic coast- And if to all lhee possessions, they add Cuba, they will belt us with a vengeance ! We shall then be completely caged, and obliged io fight our way out. Therefore on no account, for no coosideiation, mul we pei mit Cuba to pass into Biiti-h hands. But we do not want Cuba. lis acquisition would be injurious for several reasons. Our political views should be bouuded by the continent, the whole continent, and nothing but the continent. Going off the continent to take a great island, we must, to keep it, continually maintain a moie formidable and expeusive navy than our merely continental position would requiie. We should alarm tbe jealousies and fears of England about Jamaica, of Spain about Porto Rico, of France about its West India Islands. Each of these nations would say that, having left the continent in pursuit cf tenitory, we should next want something contiguous, until we crossed the whole West Indies; and this would unite the thiee in a hostile position against us. At present, France and Spain, plundeied as they have been, and thieatened as they still aie, by Britain, are our natural allies. But so soon as we begio Io covet a colony of either Fiance or Spain, we shall convert both into our enemies, and allies of our natural enemy, England. A sense of common danger now unites the two first against the last, and inclines them to alliance with us. But if we inspire all three with a sense of still gicater danger against us, then we shall conveit the three icio mutual friends and' our enemies. Another objection to our possession of Cuba, would be an addition to our buideus in the curse of slaveiy. As a political burden, the confedeiacy has slave States enough, and therefore should not augment the number without necessity. For these reasons, and many .others that muht be men. tioned, our best policy is to let Cuba alone, to touch it not. unless to save it fiom Buti-h hands. If nothing but our acquisition would save it from this fate, we should take it as the least of two formidable evils. But we aie not yet reduced to this giievous alternative. Why must it be taken fiom Spain f 1 hat nation has not the least desire to relin tui-n , na U let alone Dy other nations, is able to keep in'eiest iu defending her against the inxatiable rapacity of extinction. If deplorably debilitated, she has great elements of strength, and is now in the process of regeneration; and uo great political sagacity is required to see that, the inter ests of Continental Euiope will never neitnit her to be fur ther plundered, ever annihilated, by Britain.

Nacvoo, July 3, 1317. Mr. Caulder, representative of a committee of arrangements for the celebration of tlie 4th of July : Dear Sir. Having further considered the propriety of granting the use of the Temple, for the celebration of the Fourth of July, the National Anniversary of our Independence, I have coins to the conclusion, (representing as I for the present do, the entire interest in this place, of the church of J. C. of L. D. S.,) to say that in building the lemple tt was never contemplated to use it for any other than religious purposes ; nevertheless, under ordinarj circumstances and rela tions which should exist between every religious com munity and the civil government, this objection might with some propriety be waived : but when it is considered that as a community ice are riot permitted to enjoy a single foot of ground in all this boasted llepultlic, but are compelled to seek a home, a place of retirement, from the land of civilization, because of ojpression for opinion sake ; and when it is further considered that a weak remnant have yet hardly passed through a struggle for our lives and our existence, unaided by government, either Slate or National a Civil War, in which was unfurled against us the "Star Singled Banner," and in use the public arms of lhe State, and with impunity ; I 6ay in view of all this, however much I respect you, sir, and those with whom you act in this matter, a proper respect for myself and for thoe I represent, forbids me to grant the use of that building (towering as it does toward heaven as a, monument of our sacrifice,) on tlie present occasion. V here is our snare ot t.iberiy : wnere is our independence, that we sliould participate in the celebration of that one notable day ! Towards you, gentlemen, I have none but feelings of friendship and respect, and In any mattcr which is personal, would be most happy to render you auy accommodation ; but to respect this nation or to aid in the celebration of its independence, I can never more do until I am amply satisfied for the wrongs which I have suffered by the strong arm of power, and am made to feel that my right are respected with those of otlrer men. I remain, dear sir, Very respectfully, JXO. S. full'mek. Ohio Ships. We find the following .in the Philadelphia Ledger: j' Ship Building in the WKt. The beautiful barque John Farnum, which is now lying at Washington street wharf, maybe regarded a somewhat of a novelty, being launched at Marietta, Ohio, on the "-iolh of last February. Since then she has made a passage to Cork, Ireland, with a cargo of Ohio corn. She was named in honor of a gentleman of this cit, well known in the commercial community, and is owned by Messrs. A. &, I. Waters. She was built by Captain Win. Knox for the above firm, in the modern and most improved style, of the very bot materials, and her model has been judged to be equal to the best picket ships sailinjr out of any port in the Union. Her dimensions are as follows : length on the deck IUI foot, depth of hold 12 feet, breadth of beam 21 feet 3 inches; 273 tons measurement, draws 0 feet 6 inches torward, 1 feet 10 inches aft. The cabin is on deck and is well lighted, and the state rooms are furnished with every convenience. The anchor and chaiu cables were made in Baltimore, the 6ails in this rity, the brass castings and patent windlass in New York, the cordage in Pittsburgh, and the furniture for the cabin at the place she was built. This vessel was built by the Marietta Ship Company, who have launched the following vessels: The barque Washington, about the 20tii of January, 1315. She registered 213 tons. The barque Marietta, of the same tonnage, on the 10th of November, IS I!i. The schooner Grace Darling, of 100 tons, on the lOtli of November, 1310. The sclrootier Ohio, ISO tons, on the 10th of December. The two latter vessels are owned by Messrs. Kimble & Co., of Salem, Mass. Previous to the war of 1312, several small vessels were built at Marietta, but in consequence of a difficulty in getting them out of the rivers, aud the detention at New Orleans on account of the embargo, the enterprise received a check. The vessels which have been built there have been towed by the aid of steam to New orlcaus, a distance &f two thousand nulcf .

extract from the report the following important dicta

of Judge McLean "Judge .McLean intimated his opinion, that authori ty could not be conferred by a master on an sgent to pursue a fugitive servant into another state and arrest htm there, otherwise than by writing: such authority being in the nature ot prrcess: but he did not decide t,js ..int, He ,e'df however, that in order to make f oWruction lhere Inusl prouf ü,al llj8 , . , . , , ' , , ' plaintiff or hlS duly authorized agents Were attempt ing to arrest, and that they were obstructed in such attempt: that, in this cae, as the agent professed to act un(ier a poWer .f attorney it must be produced, or a jos3rnu,t bertn and its contents proved ; that ., , , .. , . , jr neither of these things had been done the case stood without any competent proof of agency, and tbe charoe of obstruction must consequently fail. In regard t the charge of harboring, the Judge held that the presence or pursuit of lhe master or his agent asbistin and endeavoring to enforce a claim was not necessary to constitute the offence. It was enough if the defendant knowing from whatever source, that the person employed by him was a fugitive from labor did any act intended and calculated to evade the vigilance of the master and defeat his efforts to recover the servant. There was some evidence tending to establish such facts as could make a caee of harboring, and he would therefore permit the case to go to the ju7- . lhe charge to the Jury was delived by Judge McLean. He held that the plaintiff could at most recover but one penalty for the same act of harboring though more than one person might be harbored. He held, also, that proof of notice to the party charged, that the person harbored was a ftijritive from labor, was indispensable to the plaintiff's right to recover, and that in addition to proof of such notice, there must be proof that the defendant intended to shelter or withdraw the servant from the pursuit of the master, and thereby defeat his efforts to reclaim the fugitive; but that such proof, if made, could not be overcome by proof on the part of the defendant that he honestly believed that the law warranted him in his acts. If for example, the defendant believed that he could not be made liable unless the claims tit or his attorney should produce a judicial warrant to take the fugitive, such belief would not protect him, for no such judicial warrant was necessary. It was necessary lhat the notice should bring home knowledge to the defendant that the persons harbored were fugitives from labor. If the defendant had such know ledge, no matter whence derived, and intended to defeat the master's right it was sufficient. The intention of the defendant must be gathered from his acts. If these showed a design to defeat the right of reclamation and evade the law, he was liable ; but he was not liable if his intention, in affording the servant the protection of his house was only to secure a fair and impartial trial between the claimant and the fugitive under the act of Congress.' The Jury could not agree upon a verdict and were discharged. Pettis and Wilson were tried at the same term, for stealing the U. S. mail from the steamboat Ren. Franklin, in June. The principal point made by Messrs. Ewing and Swayne, the counsel for the ac- . . . cused, Was, that the testimony Uld not Sl)W the OHmal takiif to have been within the district of Ohio. ar,r-.I)(r lhf ruI,.d tjiat if J "UgC lULlaCan, 111 CliaH!,, UIU JUr), ruiLU mui the original act were committed without the State, and the stolen mail afterwards brought to Cincinnati by the defendants, it was a taking within the State of Onio, and the court had jurisdiction of the case. Tlie jury returned a verdict of guilty against both the defendants. They were sentenced, Tettis to ten, and Wilson to seven years confinement in the penitentiary. Important Decision. A slave belonging to Louis Alme Pigneyguy, was yesterday declared to be free in consequence of having been taken to France. A". U. Pic, 11MA. This is in accordance with decisions which have frequently been made here, and with which the south has never been satisfied. If a slave be brought by his mister, voluntarily, into this State hjs shackles fall off at once. Slavery cannot exist here for a moment. And it is so with every free state, and with every country where slavery is not recognized. The decision in New Orleans goes further,- however, than our decisions have gone or can go. It establishes the important fact, that the freedom which a slave thus acquires, by th voluntary act of his master, shall avail him permanently; and, that if he; of his own choice, shall afterwards return to a slave state,- he 6hall not again be subject to bondage. Uoston Traveller. The same court decided a few days previous, as it appears in 6ome of the New Orleans papers, that the steamboat Missouri was not liable for carrying off a slave. In this case a singular fact was disclosed, viz: a slave being so white that he would pass anywhere for a white man, and who was supposed to be such when he was taken into tho employ of the steamer and carried out of the 6tate. The 6lave had been permitted to hire himself on boats trading to places where slavery does not exist, and to remain there till he chose to leave, and the court expressed great doubts whether his master could exercise any acts of ownership over him afterwards. -V. 1'. Journal of Commerce Kidn afting Case. -It will be recollected that tho trial of Henderson and others, in Franklin county, for kidnapping Jerry Fhinney, resulted in the conviction of Henderson, who was the Justice of the Peace that issued the warrant, and the acquittal of the other defendants. The case was taken up to tlie Supreme Court, on writ of error j and, as we learn from the State Journal, has been there decided. Chief Justice Wood declared tlie opinion of the Court, in which it Was held 1. That a juror could not be withdrawn by consent, in a criminal case, and the trial proceed ; and therefore, there was error in the proceedings below. 2. That Henderson, being a Justice of the Teace, acted iti a judicial capacity, and had jurisdiction in the case of an escaping slave, and consequently, his proceedings could not be called in question, for not acting in good faith, as he would be protected by the doctrine of judicial immunity. 3. That in consequence of this judicial immunity he would not be liable to an indictment, but could be called in question only by impeachment.--CinctnnaU Herald. Mr. Clat ouT-ixtyG King Canute.
