I'reeaoil Heeling the Capita*. The Stale Sentinel, of August the 31st., oontains a discription of* Freeeoii meeting convenedat Masonic Hall in Iiadisnspolis,on Monday Isst, consequent upon ihe release of Freeman the alleged fugitive slave, by BllingtoiH It was a kind of an indignation tneetutg, got up. suppose. by George W, Julian, John D. Ehtfrees dt Co., for the purpose, no doubt, of making political capital. The Sentinel says tb*t the meeting wss large, bui, lhat a msjoriiy only attended through curioaiiy, anxious to witness tbe result of ihe deliberaiions of the Albino Leaders, and that of the wool if hcadeo. W/u'g*/ The Rev. S. T. Gillett, presided, and George W. Julian, was the principal speaker—be gave the Fugitive Law an awful scurvy hit. J. Ketcbum, a national and true democrat, who was one of Freeman's counsel, replied to the harangue of the Albino gentleman, fully sustaining the law and its provisions. The question was taken, a resolution in favor of repealing the fugitive slave law, and though but a very few voted, the chair decided that the tesoluiion was adopted. This being the ease, we suppose Congress must go to work nt the next session, and repeal said law, because forsooth, a set of fanatics and moral and political plunderers have thus determined. What presumption What audacity I! What recklessness nnd a total disregard to the compromises of the conslistitution, and the pesos and happiness o^ this glorious Union of ours! We are pleased to learn that, but few whigs, only diem of the Defrees stripe, were engaged in this miserable effort to creftte excitement and inflame the public mind on this question —one that has been settled by the author! ties of the constitution and may it thus remain ss an everlasting memento to them that enacted them, and of the patriotism and devotion of the people, throughout our broad land to our country, our couatitutioo, and our union. &

Tbe Trustees iu their circular state, that at a recent ancual meeting of the board, tbe Faculty was re-constituted, in a manner considerate of tbe feelings and self respect of all its members, and so as to secure entire harmony aud co-operation."—

They further state "that they feel great confidence in presenting tbe following gentlemen, as a strong united and regular body ysfc®-? -5ST jjprf f^ ol Instructors." *,tv

MATTHEW M. CAMPBELL, A. M., Adjunct Professor of Languages and Principal of tbe Preparatory Department.

The third term begins four weeks after the first Wednesdsy of April and ends cn the firat Wednesdsy of August.

The next session opens on Thursday morning, the 22d day of September, and with an intermission of eight days including the winter Holidsys, instructions and lec« tures are oontinued until th0 first Wednc* day of April.

The Law School of the University opens on the 2d Monday ol December, and will continue in session about three months.

Each county in the State is entitled, by law, to send two students,, free of ejisrge, to Ihe University.

The Comet,with its beautiful fiery tail,whioh has been observed here for the past week, has about disappeared below the horizon, at least it has not been visible to us for the past two nights. This is the first Comet, we believe, that has been visible in this region sinoe *42. It is doubtless tbe same Comet whioh appeared in 1553, and caused a monsroh to abdicate bis throne* tnd has consequently been three centuries in makk«% ing its revolution,

It is gratifying to learn from our exchanges. that an effort is being made in all oar principal cities to raise mean* to relieve the afRioted of New Orleans. The cry for aid which comes up from tbe despoiled city has been nobly and liberally responded to.

The fever baa not yet begun to abatenearly two hundred nre dying daily, and no prospect of immediate relief is seen.— September will probably be more fatal than July and August have been.

RAPID GROWTH OF OKBOOR.—From tbe flrst week in 1853, to the intelligence by the last dates, it appears that ihe territory of Oregon, is over ten thousand already settled on her soil, and the natural inorease since the tsking of the last census, must bring her present populstion up to forty-four or fortyfive thousand. So then we may ssfely calculate that Oregon will be the next claimant for admission to the Union as a State.

Grant Thornburn ssys of his last wife, in a letter to a Philadelphia paper: "My wife is a blooming lass of forty summers 1 succeeded in capturing the prize only two weeks ago my own age is 81, so that my wife just meets me half way. She is two inohes taller and five pounds heavier so I think on reflection I have got the best of the bargain."

NKW ORLEANS.—The pestilence at this ill-fated city has been raging with fearful violence. Hie deaths per day by yellow fever have been as high as nearly three hundred. This would be about equal to from 1500 to 20G0 in a city of the population of New York. 4,..

A lste number oi tbn Cincinnati Tlasss says Last a%bt, a lady tike wife of a broker, of this city, on returning from a party, where sbe bad spent the evening, to her home, in the Third Ward, found her sleeping apart* ments bad been invaded by a stranger who bad taken possession of her bed and who commenced a very unprovoked and wanton attack upon ber. Having no weapons of defence near her, aba seised a bucket of scalding water scd dashed it upon htm, completely saturating him from bead to foot Finding that be had mistaken bis game, be then endeavored to escape, but the effects of his bsth were too severe, and be was easily captured* His sufferings are said to be 'intolerable,' tbe flesh in many places peeling from his body. There sre no hopes of his recovery. So unprovoked an attack, at so early an hour in the evening upon a very quiet an respectable family, is something new in our criminal calendar. He is a stranger in tbe neighborhood, though we understand he has given his name as B. Bugg, and says that bis native place iis Louisville Ky. It is not known how he entered the bouse, the doors being all locked, unless he entered during the day and remained secreted until night, "s

At the request of tbe lady, from mwuvea of delicacy, we suppress the name of the family. If such villains always met with sucb receptions, we should hear less of midnight marauders. ,-

Col. Fremont aad the Pacific Railroad. We learn from the New York Coarier, that Col Freemont has just left that city for St. Louis, from which point he will immediately set out over the plsins with a suitable party for California. He will first direct his search for the great depression whioh he believes to exist in the Rocky Mountains, a little above latitude 38 degrees, in whioh rise the waters of Rio Grand del Norte, flowing into the Gult of Mexico, and the Colorado of the West. If he find that Lt. Besle has passed through this depression, he will follow on his route, and complete any deficiencies in his notes which the want of instruments and time may have caused.— Col. Fremont expects to resch Cslifornia in November. He will immediately turn upon his steps and retraoe his course to the States, in order to observe with accuracy the depths of the snow along the line, and the degree of obstruction whioh they will interpose to a railroad. His design is full of daring, and worthy of the intreped and adventurous spirit which he hss displayed in former explorations.^.^,jjp**?1

CAPTV INGRAHAM.—The Buffslo Commercial states that this gentleman, whose spirited conduct at Smyrna hss excited such a general feeling of satisfaction throughout the country, holds the rank of commander in the navy. We find, on reference to the Navy Register, that he is a South Carolinian that he entered the service as a midshipman, in 1812, and was made a commander in 1841. The St. Louis the vessel of whioh he is now in command, is a sloop of wsr of the lsrgest class, mounting twenty guns. She was built at tbe Washington yard in 1828, and was fitted out for her present cruise at Norfolk in 1851. She is a staunch, fine ship, cspable of giving a good account of herself in case the Austrians provoke a collision with her. We have no knowledge of Ingraham. He has only been twelve years at sea out of his forty one of service but he is evidently a gallant and determined man, and knows how to fight his ship as well as to sail her.

NATURALIZATION

A»n

PROTECTION.—The

question of protection abroad to a person clothed with an inoomplete oitizenship, is well disoussed in the Journal of Commerce —that is, in a just Americsn spirit hut the Journal has fallen into an error, we regret to say, in supposing tbat the following clause in the Naturalization Act of 1813, is still in force, to-wit "No person who shall arrive in the United States aAer February 17, 1815, shall be admitted to beoome a citizen of the United States, who shall not for the continued term of FIVE years next preceding his admission have resided within the United States, vilk' out being at any Urn: during the said Jive peart out of the territory of the United State*."

This clause was repealed by Congress in July, 1848.—National Intelligencer.

England and France with their navy will not be able to arrest the progress of 200,000 Russians, who will seize the Ottoman empire. France will threaten Russia by land, but at this stage, Prussia and Austria will take off their masks and face Franca. A revolution will break out at this time, and Napoleon will take to his heels and go loafing to America. Henry Y. will be enthroned King of France, and peace wiU ha concluded.

Later intelligence from Monte Video aod Buenos Ay res has been received by the bsrk Edwards. Gen. Vinto, Governor of the province of Buenos Ay res died on 28th June. Official notice has been received at Buenos Ayres that Geu. Floras hsd landed at San Pedro on the northern Frontier with 600 men and bad commenced his march towards the city of Buenos Ayres, when Urguiza will be completely hemmed in. Urguiza has no means to carry on the war, and his army is gradually wasting away by desertion.

There have been several arrivals at Buenos Ayres since the commencement of the blocade, and.trade was reviving.

DREADFUL MORTALITY.—Cspt. James Price, of Jeffersonville, formerly commander of the Bostonia, lost his whole family by yellow fever—his wife, five children, snd mother. They were residing st New Orleans. The fifth child died on board the Fanny Smith, on which Cspt. Price had taken passage with it.

THE DOOMED CUT.—The New Orleans Bulletin, at Baltimore, on the 24th, reports that there is nothing in the ooodiiion of the weather, atmosphere, or daily returns of the deaths, to suthorize any hope at present lor the abatement of the epidemic. The fever now prevails in all parts of the city. 40J discharges of cannon daily have been ordered, and tar was to be burned at the grave yards and other infected localities.

Gen. Houston, U. S. Senator, intends removing shortly into Wsihington county. The authorities of Galveston have ordered lhat a quarantine be established on all vessels arrived from New Orleans.

The New York Herald of the 24th ult., contains the following: "According to letters from Prince Edward Island, the American Fishing Schooner Starlight, reported to have been captured by the British steamer -Devaststion, was taken in Canadian waters—consequently our Consul protested sgsinst the jurisdiction ot the Court of Admirallty, and she was released pon the payment of costs and the promise of ber captain that he would hereafter be more careful where he cast his bait, lt is a curious fact that notwithanding a large number of American vessels have been captured by tbe British, only two or three have been condemned."

STATE FAIR.—Matters are in progress for a fine Exhibition of the State Fair at Lafayette, in October next. Hie Lafayette Journal says: "Persons residing at a distance from the city are already writing and anxiously inquiring as to the accommodations during tbe State Fair. We presume, in fact we know, tbat every effort possible will be made to accommodate strangers visiting tha city. Extra trains will be run on all the roads late aod early so thst persons aAer staying here all day may, if they choose, go to Crawfordsvilie, Greencastle, Michigan City, Indianapolis or the intermediate towns.

CONTESTED ELECTION.—The St. Louis Intelligencer of the 24ih inn, ssys: "In tbe Memphis (Tenn.) Congressional District, the candidates were Mr. Yerger (Whig), and Mr. Staunton (Dem) It has bean announced tbat Mr. Staunton was elected. But both tbe Whig papers at Memphis deny this claiming a tie between diem, for the reason that votes for Mr. Yerger in Shelby county were improperly rejected. These two votes counted for Mr. Verger would, tb«y say, make the votes for both the candidates equal.

Attorney at law, (of New Haven,) and Jamas H. Concklin, his clerk, who have just been tried for attempting fraudulently to obtain some 94,000 on a revolutionary claim, A few days since similar information of tha ooviction of J. G. Nesbit at Auburn N. Y., for a somewhat similar crime. He has been sentenced to six years imprisonment in the Auburn State prison.— Tlieae convictions make the fifth which have been effected by the officers of the Pension Bureau since the 1st of April last, when tbe present Commissioner entered on the discharge of his duties.- ..

J. Willis has been appointed Consul at Loango, Africa: John F. Kinney, of Iowa, appointed Chief Justice of Utah E.

Campbell, of Iowa, has been appointed Post Office Special Agent, for Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska George C. Smith is appointed Mail Agent on the Rochester and Niagara Falls road.

Dr. Gordon, of Indianapolis, hss hoisted his name as a candidate for Supreme Court Reporter but we do not perceive the remotest chance upon which he oould have found" ed a hope. Albert G. Porter is one of the most popular young men in the State, and besides, has filled the station as well as it ever wss filled. We want suoh men there —our lswyers wish the duties of that office done up in a clear and perfect manner, and A. G. Porter, with a oharaoter for integrity, energy and intellectuality, is just the man. —Lawrenceburg Gaxettes Wfn™*"*

Release ol Freeman. vp

On Ssturday afternoon, by order of Commissioner Sullivan, John Freeman was released from jail, where he has been confined sinoe the 21st day of June last, as an alleged fugitive slave. The olaimant, Pleasant Ellington, of Missouri, alter an examination of the testimony sdduced by Freeman's oounsel, was convinoed thst he had claimed "the wrong man," aud through his counsel, J. A. Lis ton, withdrew the claim.

The testimony is clear as to Freeman's being an entirely different person from the slave "Sam." claimed as having run away from Greenup coutity, Kentucky. It is also proved beyond a doubt, that the latter is now in Canada. Freeman was identified by witnesses of excellent charactor now in Georgia and Alabama, as being a free colored man who lived in Georgia until 1844.

A civil suit will lie instituted by Freeman against Pleasant Ellington for false imprisonment, and process issued accordidgly. The damages claimed is 910,000. This case will come up for trial at the next term of the Circuit Court, the fourth Monday in October.

The result of this case proves conclusi vely thst, under the operations of the fugitve slave law, the rights of the oolored man are perfectly secure, all the assertions of the abolitionists to the contrary notwithstanding.—State Sentinel Aug

••HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICV."—We shrewdly guess that the Whigs of Tennessee are begining to see the force of this homely adage. Thny have met with some terrible reverses in the late elections, which are proper rewards for their iniquUious ger• rymandering in 1851-'52. They thought that Andrew Johnson wss legislated clear out of public life when they assigned to him a congressional district containing a whig majority of more than fifteen hundred votes. How did the scheme work? Let two withering fscts answer the question Andrew Johnson has been triumphsntly borne by the democrscy to the gubernatorial ohair of State, and his successor in Congress, Brookins Campbell. Esq., is a whole-souled and talented democrat. Verily the stock of palpable injustice will not PA*.— Union.

HEAVY VEttfcicf.—In t^p Circuit Court, during the present week, a seduction case wss tried. The parlies were a Miss Combs of Clark county, Ind., plaintiff, and B. Waller, of Csroll county, Ky., defendant.— Waller under promise of marriage, had seduced the girl, and sbe became a, mother. He then married another woman. J*

The jury on Thursday brought in a verdict of 95,000. Attempts were made by Waller's friends, after hearing the verdict, to compromise the matter, but the terms on which Miss Combs' friends would agree, were not accepted.—Louisville Journal^

A DESFERATB CHARACTER.—Sunday af ternoon, a dutchman, white laboring under the influence of cheap rum rushed into Msin street with a knife, and as he passed down the street towards tha water, be cut at every person he passed, but fortunately injurned no one. He run into one store, frightened the inmates of it, then robbed the money drawer of a small quantity of ohange, and from thenoe proceeded to tbe river, and waa about plunging ift, when he was secured by officer Bradley, of the Second District Police and conveyed to the lock up.— N. Y. Timet, Tuetdap.

Tint EMPEROR AND EMPRESS or FRANCS. —It is stated that the Imperial fsmily will not leava tha neighborhood of Paris this summer. There are three reasons assigned for this determination. First, the interesting situation of the Empress, which re* quires especial care in order to avoid a repetition of tha mishap that occurred a few months since second, tbe unsettled slate of tha Eastern question, whose constantly varying phases will not permit the Emperor to ha safely absent from Paris, the great centra of intelligence and action thirdly, the new invisible police (for since tbe abolition of tha ministry of the police, the police is known to be no less real for having beoome less visible) is said to have reported so unfavorably of tha state of tha departments, that it has been thought tan* safe to risk tha imperial parson in an excursion that woold offer so many opportunities for knife or pistol of assassins.
