DeilileilMi la e met on the ear a few days since two families returning from Kansas; and their looks told too plainly the suffering they had j endnred. Their recital of what they and their less fortunate neighbors had endured was painful to the heart of every listener. Kind friends in Ohio had furni.bed them the means to return to their old homes, but tbey said thousands were comp iled to stay 41 usifullT atarvintr: and that uiciw, e.uu "v.- - o- J some must die unless relief v. as sent to tbem. The personal appearance of the I families we mettheir haggard looks worn out clothing and humbled tone, spoke the truth of their story. From every source of information we learn the same ad tale of destitution. Will not our citizens respond to this ery from the wilderness? If you have the o A .ond it to them. The wealth which a beneficient providence gavelo you, j n iti full and abundant crop of the last f season, should be liberally divided with the sufferirir snd destitute.

It is very important that ( all kinds of seeds should be sent as soon as possible. An IsaporlMnt Luw Point. A negro in escaping from slavery in Missouri killed his master who pursued him. lie reached Canada, but was sooo after demanded under the extradition treaty as a murderer. Tbe Canadian Court decided that be was liable to surrender under the treaty. His attorneys, through Edwin James, a celebrated English Barrister, ap plied to the Court of Queen's Bench in London for a ha bra $ corpus to take the negro out of the hands of the Cnnada Court. Tbe Queen's Bench granted the writ, and thus! removed the case to England, whence, judging from the tne of the London papers, the fugitive will never be returned. The Times holds that the English law, refusing to recoirnize slavery, caunot bold any man guil tv of a crime in escaping irom it i ne iew l crk World thus comments on this extraordinary proceeding: The question of slavery in this country bas entered upon yet another new and most important phase. The Court of Queen's Bench bas issued a writ common enough in itself, but of singular moment in this particular instance and at this particular time a writ of habeas corpus for Anderson, the slave who killed bis puieuer, and who is now in Toronto jail and claimed by the United States Government under the A-hburton Extradition Treaty. The writ is issued on the grounds that the jurisdiction of the Queen's Bench is lmit d only by the boundaries of the British Empire, and that it has yet to be made clear thst the homicide committed by Anderson was not ntirelv inatitiitblo. and that therefore the decision of the colonial ecurt, which was for; his extradition, must be subjected to rcvis- j ion by the court ot highest authority. i ' The issuing of the writ of habeas corpus into a remote colony is ver y unusual, and it ', is manifest that it was applied for and grant-' ed in this case onlv on account of ihe great interest which it bas excited in England : among the legal profession as in the more j intelligent part cf the publio. The judges; retired to deliberate upoa the motion lr the writ, but were in consultation only twenty minutes; and the Chief Justice, in) announcing the decision, used language , which showed that all the contingencies of;, tbe case had been taken into consideration. . .v 1 t Aue writ merely remotes tun ifffs, preliminary to the er's extradition or liberation, from to England ; but the movement itself most signi6cant indication of Great Britain's position in the present crisis of the slavery question in this country ; and tbe final decision will be an important declaration of the extent to which she is prepared to admit tbe relations produced by local laws into tbe consideration of the alleged criminality of individuals affected by those relations. Io Uiasouri the killing by a slave ol his pursuer is an aggravated form of murder ; in the British Empire it is justifiable homicide. ' The editor of the JefTersonian is 'dreadfully indignant" that Governor Morton has appointed Hon. C. B. Smith as one of the Commissioners to the Border State Convention, Our neighbor shonld remember that. Mr. Smith, was nominated by tbe democratic came, and was proposed by several democrats in resolutions offered by them to the House and Senate. The ap pointment of Mr. Smith was demanded by ail parties, and a was an appointment eminsntly fit to be made.

The Editor of the Jefferscman

says, the Republicans "have time and again declared thematlves is favor of "le ting the Union slide." Will the editor inform ns when any Republican meeting ever made any such declaraiiot.? This same editor holds the Republican parry reponsible for the declarations of Wendell Phillips. Mr.' Phillips is not now and never has been a member cf the Republican party, but a bitter enemy to it and its platform. ' '1 his same editor quotes from speeches mad- by prominent Republicans deprecating the institution of slavery. Is it any violation of the constitution for a free white man to declare that slavery is inimicable to the peace and barmoty ol the Union? Would the editor gsg the tongue and muzzle the press The constitution did not create slavery, nor does it maintain it; therefore there is no impropriety in discussing a measure which the framers of the constitution regarded as too odious to be acknowledged in its provisions We might tolerate the discussion of a diisolu'ion, however impolitic it might be; yet our neighbor evidently sympathizes with the overt acts of the South against the gov eminent. Moody and Heffren. These distinguished beligerents have settled their difficulty, and c v r... there was no fi&ht. I hey met on the grounds , . , , , , , selected for the duel on Monday morning last, and by the intervention of f.

From an examination of the correspondence between Hon- Horace HefF.en and lion. G. C. Moody, submitted to us, and from other sources cf information, we nnderstand the grounds of controversy to be as follows: In the conre of a debate. 'in the In) iana House of Representatives, Jfr. Moody was understood to reflect upon the memory of the alte Gov Willard, a political and warm personal friend of Mr. Heffren.in connection with the location of the County Seat of Newton county; and that subsequen tly, he charged Mr. HefFien, by implication, wi;h being a traitor to h

Mr. Heffren. in repl used which furnishes the ground of the pending affair. A rhurOTA that fr Afnov arnq im n!Trafirt in certain frandulen: land spe ula ions has been withdrawn in the correspondence. It is our opinion that Mr. Moody should first declare that he did not mean to charge the late Gov. Willard with corruption, and if so understood, he en'irely di-claims it; and that the charge of being a traitor.which Mr. Hctireu conceived was applied to him. by implication; was liastely spoken and not seriously intended to convey the full force' ot that term, anil that he lias no hesitation in withdrawing it. And th-n Mr. Heffren should withdraw the offensive language complained of. Thos L. Jones, Wm. G. Terrell. The terras of settlement contained in the above proposition are agreed to by us. U. H.

The legislatnre sbould now promptly expel tho principals, every one who encouraged the sending the challenge, or the carry ing out the duel. " Lincoln's organ says that the sou' hern States must he forced to remain in the confederacy and submit to whatever negroism his administration may see proper io iiiuici upon iiK'in. Lincoln s great Mea is .bat a negro has the same right to be beard in the government in the enactment and enforcement of laws that the wnite man has, (see Peoria speech 1854.) When Mr. Lincoln calls for volunteers to jTurce this doctrine down the moulds of a free people, with cannons and muskets, we think he will have something of a time of it before he gets through."

gards the weather, but notwithstanding this ; drawback, a large number of people assem bled to witnesr- the departure ol the President elect. When Sir. Lincoln went on to the platform of the cars, be turned and addressed a few words to the people, with most of whom he had individually exchanged farewel in the passenger room. Sor rowfully but firmly he sid: Aht Frtendt : One who has never been p'aced in a like position, cannot understand my feelings at this hour ; nor the oppressive ; sadness I feel at this parting. For more 1 than twenty-five year I have lived among; you. and during all that time Ilmve rcteiv-j ed nothing but kindness at your hands. : Here the mrt cherished ties of earth were! assumed.

By the six o'clock train of this morning, ; a lrge nuniler ct Cincinitatians arrived. ' The Legislative Committee. consiting of . Messrs. Flagg, Holmes and Brown, were also on hoard. Tiie Cincinnati City Council Committee are expected by the train due here at 7 PM. Excitement in the Rdlroad City is at fever heat. Business is temporarily suspended, and the visit of the President elect is the one all-absorbing topic of conversation. The citizens have made every preparation for giving Mr. Lincoln a' reception commensurate wilh the dignity of j his position, netermtried to ao their share j toward honoiing the incoming Chief Magis-1 tr.ite's visit to their midst.

Moore, and others, fourteen in all arrived here at five o'clock. As soon as it approached the Union Depot, a National Salute of thirty four guns was fired by tbe City Greys' Artillery. On arriving at the depot. Gov. Morton welcomed the President elect, in tbetollowing speech : fcm : On behalf of the people of Indiana I bid you welcome. They avail themselves of this occasion to off r their tribute ol hi-M respect to your character, as a man and as a s atesraan, and in your person to honor ' the high office to which you have been elected. In every free Government there will be differences of opinion, and these differences result in the formation of parties, but when the voice of the people has been expressed through the iorms of the I ontituiion, nil patriots yield toils obedience. Submission to the popular will is the esemial principle of Republican Government. and so vital is this principle, that it admits ot but one excep ion, which is revolution. To weaken it is anarchy; to destroy it is j despotism. It recognizes no appeal beyond j the ballot box. and while it is preserved,! liberty may be wounded, but never slam. j To this principle the people ol Indiauaj men of all parties are loyal, and iheyf here welcome you as the Chief Magistrate j elect of the Republic. j When our lathers framed the Constitution ' they declared il was to lorm a more perfect; Union, to establish justice, anil to secure the 1 bleesicgs of liberty io themselves and their i posterity, and lor these considerations we ' proclaim our purpose lo mnintai-j that Con-! stitution inviolate as it came from their D alius. i This Tjnion bas been the idol of our' .hopes, the pa j shield of prote the respect and .. yi t 5 rent ol our prosperitv, our! protection abroad, and our title ta' d consideration of the world.' y it be preserved, is the prayer of ev- j ery patriotic heart in Indiana, aud that it S all be is the determination.

( Our Government, which bul yesterday j was the iheme oi every euiogv and stood for i tne admiration ot the world, is to dav threatening to crumble into ruins, aod it remains to be seen whether il possesses a living principle, or whether in the fulness of lime, the hour of its dissolution is at hand. But we are full of confidence that th end is not yet. thst the precious inheritance! trom our fathers will not elude our grasp or I be wrested from us without a struggle , tbati we are but passing through one cf those eiv il commotions that mark the history ot every great nation, and that we shall emnrge Irom the present gloom into the bright sunshine ol peace and fraternity, and march lorward with accelerated speed in the paths ot prosperity and power. M- t-iscoLit s assrosss. In response, Mr. Lrncoln said : Gov. Morton and leflow errixens of the! State of Indiana : Most heaxtCy do I thank

To shed their blood in defence of their right-, is a duty which the citizens of South Caro'ina fully recognize, and in such a caue, the Governor, while deploring the stern necessity which may compel him to call for the sacrifice, will feel that his obligations to preserve inviolate the sacred rights ot South Carolina, will justify the sacrifice necessary to secure that cud. The tioveroor concludes bv saying that he does not desire to remind the President of the reponsibilities which are upon him. No. eikrht is a letter to Col. Hayne, signed by Wiglall, Hemphill, YuW. Mallory. !,nd other Southern Senators, urging Col. II ay tie to make no demand on the President for a few days, under the belief that arrangements would t,e made to prevent bloodshed. They suggest that an arrangement be made between the President and Col. Hayne till the l5thof February, by which ti ne a peaceable settlement could be devised. They recointn. nd. in the meantime, that Maj. Anderson be allowed supplies and free communication. No. nine is Col. Hayne's letter assenting to the proposition. No. ten is a letter from th Committee of Southern Senators, com iiinicating the correspondence to th President. No. cloven is a letter from Sec'y Holt to the Committee in behalf of the Presideut, in which he says that the President has been desirous of preventing bloodshed, and merely holds the Fort under his obligation to protect the properly of the Government. His object has ben to acton the detensiye, and ho, has given proof of his indisposition to pill blood by forbearing to resort to f rce even after an unarmed vessel had been fired upon. He refuses, however, to yive assurances that no ri-inforcements will be sent to Fort Sumter. Ha s.iys ho has no authority to make such an arrangement; al lht time there is no necessity to reinfonre Maj. Anderson, as he doe not require it. and has made no request for aid. No act of war will be waged on South Carolina, by the Pret-ident, as Congress alone has the war malring power. This letter is sent to Col. Hayne by the Committee, who replies that he will wait iiir-truciions from home, but does not regard the letter as satisfactory The last of the Seri 8 is a lengthy dispatch fmri tK Vui.iiiiva r ., ,u irom tH3 Executive Uepartment of tjonth Carolina to Col. Hayne, oUted on tbe 26th of January, in which it commends ihe deUy on the part of Col. Hsne, but expresses great dis-atbf ction at the action of the lVesident in relusing to give a guarantee, till the 15:li of February, that no reinforcements shall be sent 3Ijor Anderson. It says that an attempt to reinforce him will be regarded hs an act of war; that the assumption that Fort Sumter is only held as Government property, is inconsisient with those requirements of duty wliich the President alleges lo be obligatory up'.n him, but which seem only so in relation to a military pst. The Gov rrnor is, therefore, forced to conclude, that striped of all disguise, the purpose of the President is to keep and defend Fort Sumter within the limits of South Carolina, as a military post of the United Ststes. The Governor then enumerates the ac'a of the Uni'ed States sending out hostile expeditions to Southern States, and expresses his satisfac:ion that the real purposes of tbe Government are thus revealed. The closing instructions are as follows: "If the President, when you hav stated the reasons which prompted the governor in making a demand for ihe delivery of Fort Sumter, shall refuse to deliver the fort up on the pledge you have bten authorized to make, you will communicate that refusal without delay to the Governor. "If the PresidcLt shall not be prepared to give an immediate answer, you will communicate to him tbt his answer may be transmitted within a reasonable time to the Governor at tl.is place. The Governor does not c- nsidt-r it necessary that you should remain in Washington any longer than ia necessary to execute this ch'iing duty ol yonr mission, in the mani.er now indtctted to yoa. As soon as the Governor shj.ll receivefrom y.. a information, that yon have cl.-sed your mission, and tha reply, whatever it may br, of the President, be will consider the conduct which will be necessary on his part." Col. Uayce still remains here, and I learn tbis alternoon, does not expect to leave till after tbis week. This would ara to indicate that he had not yet received a fiaal reply from the President.
