FIFITIVF. SLAVE CASES IN BOSTON.
Warrants were issued yesterday, by the
U. S. Court, under the Fugitive Slave Act of
1850,' for the arrest of Win. Crafts and Ellen
Crafts, his wife, and Win. Jones, alledgeil fu
gitive slaves. Crafts is a cabinet-maker, do
ing business at his trade in Cambridge street,
and with his wife made their escape from
bondage in Macon, Ca., about two years
since. It will be recollected that Mrs. Crafts,
who is of very light complexion, disguised
herself in male attire, and travelled from Ma
cou to this city, as a dashing youth from the
South, with her husband as her slave servant.
Mrs. Crafts has left the city, but her husband
remains to await the process of the law. No
warrant had been served upon him last even
ing. Jooei has left the city for Canada. He
wa. employed at Parker's eating house.
The fact of .the warrants having been issued
caused considerable excitement in our com

THE RESULT. , w
The returns of the late election have
come in very slowly. We are happy, at
last, to congratulate our friends upon an.
other triumph of the democracy. Morri,
son, Brawley and Banks have carried the
slate by a mnjority exceeding 10,000.
The democrats have gained six congress
men. The majority in the Legislature, on
joint ballot, is large enough to secure the
election of a democratic IT. S. Senator in
place of Dr. Sturgeon. The amendments
to tho constitution have carried by 71,000,
This is essentially a democratic measure.
It is another step towards placing the
whole power where it should be, in the
hands of the people. We may now look
for a complete reform of the judiciary
Men will be selected on account of their
legal ability and moral worth, instead of
political services and private friendship.
We may hereafter depend upon their de
cisionsand may hope to have the law es
tablished. Lately there has been such an
inconsistency in the opinions of judges that
one can scarcely discover what the law is.
We hope the next legislature in determin
jng when and how this election shall be
held, will not direct it to be held at the
time of the general election. To fix upon
another time will avoid confusion in the
number of boxes, and have a good effect in
preventing local causes from operating in
the selection of such important officers as
the judiciary.
THE TURNPIKE BRIDGE.
We mentioned some weeks ago, the in
tention of the Centre Turnpike Company,
and the County Commissioners to erect a
new bridge over the "Gut" at the western
termination of this road. We said then
that the breadth between the abutments
would be such as to permit the stream,
when at its height, to pass through easily.
If this was intended, it has not been accom
plished. The mechanical work is good
and substantial, but the abutments are too
close to each other to permit the water, at
all times to pass freely. Some years ago
the water washed away a portion ol the
turnpike just east of the bridge. This has
never been filled up, and in consequence,
when ever the water rises a few feet, this
unrepaired part is under water, rendering
the bridge useless, and compelling passen
gers to use the rail road bridge.
We are inclined to believe that this gul
ley is intentionally left there by the Com
pany to act as a waste wier to carry off the
water that cannot pass under the bridge.
The stream was rushing through it like a
torrent on Sunday. The thing is a nui
sance. How the constables, who make re
turns of the condition of roads and bridges,
under oath, at each Court of Quarter Ses
sions, could have conscientiously omitted to
notice this, is rather singular.
THE FRESHET.
The heavy rains of last Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, have caused another fsesliet in
the Susquehanna. During the whole of
the first two days the rain poured down in
torrents, deluging our streets and swelling
the neighboring streams to a height little
short of the freshet in July. The Shamo-
kin creek overflowed its banks and did se
rious damage to the fields of grain along
them. Fortunately the fences carried
away at the former freshet had not been re
placed ; otherwise much more damage
would have been sustained. The Centre
turnpike was overflowed by the creek in
several places, compelling vehiclei to travel
upon the embankment of the railroad. The
railroad itself sustained very little injury.
The cars were unable to pass on Monday ;
but are now making their regular trips.
The Susquehanna at this place was not
to high by several feet as it was in July.
The West Branch was much higher. The
low grounds at Northumberland were com
pletely under water. The North Branch
did not rise much, but, we understand the
canal along it, was seriously damaged.
, This is the third freshet that has occur
red in tho Susquehanna since the first of
July. "The oldest inhabitants" cannot re
collect a season in which to many heavy
rains have fallen. The Shamokin dam is
usually perfectly dry during a portion of
the summer, and the river below it has gen
erally been fordable at the same time. This
year the dam has been continually covered
with water, and the depth below it so
great as to preclude the possibility of ford
ing. Many farmers aiong Shamokin creek
lost nearly the whole of both winter and
summer crops. The hay and wheat hav
ing been carried away by the freshet in
July, and the corn overflowed and destroy
ed in August. Now their fields of winter
grain have again been covered by the wa
ter. .

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
A convention assembled in Worcester,
Massachusetts, last week to deliberate on
the best meant of securing to women their
rights. The leaders of this demonstration
were Mr. AUey Kelley, Esq., Col. Lucre
tia Mott, Major Abby " Kelly Foster, Mrs.
Wm. Lloyd Garrison and Mrs. Burleigh,
the red , bearded abolition fanatic. The
rights of woman; as set forth by the various
speakers, female and male, black and white,
upon this interesting Occasion, are peculi
arly charming. They contend that women
shall and ought to have the right and pri
vilege to frequent gambling houses and grog
shops, swear and make political speeches,
go to Congress and get drunk, wear breech
es and fight duels, and do all. and every
other thing or things that the masculine
gender can or may do. ' They consider
nursing babies, educating children, manage
ing household affairs, and every other do
mestic duty as beneath woman's dignity,
and decidedly out of her proper sphere.'
All the female sex hitherto have been fools
for submitting to such degredation. . They
have as good a right to drink rum and go
on a bender as men, and they : mean to do
it. The course of things is onward and
they must keep up with the times. They
have voted St. Paul a heathen tyrant lor
saying that women should obey or do any
thing else that does not to them seem right
and proper. Henceforth they will permit
no distinction between the sexes. If God
did not make them men, they will make
men of themselves. There is nothing like
independence.
Although we can not approve all that
was said and done at this Convention, we
should like very much to see some of the
principles there preached, carried into
practice. There h nothing like constant
employment of mind or body to keep one
out of mischief. Mrs. Kelly, Mott fit Co.,
have been employed at little else than ma
king speeches on some extravagant subject,
all their lives. They have never enjoyed the
pleasures of domestic life, and upon their
own showing are not qualified for its duties,
If they had been obliged to labor for their
living, they would perhaps have been bet
ter able to understand and discuss the rijrhts
and duties of woman. If they had earned
their bread by employment in the many
lactones by which they are surrounded
and toiled as others of their sex have been
forced to do, they could better appreciate
the blessings which they enjoy. They ve
hemently recommend their sisters to labor
to maintain an independence, but are care
ful not to set them the example. A little
work would do them good. Employment
would prevent them from running about
the country, preaching extravagant non
sense and creating mischievous excitement.
The cause of woman's rights will never
prosper under their tutilage. The vast
majority of American women are now far
ahead of them in all that tends to usefulness
and refinement ; and we would not insult
them by a comparison with these fanatical
non-descripts.
ELECTRICITY AND HEAT.
Our readers will recollect the recent pre
tended discovery of Mr. Paine, by which,
through the agency of the galvanic battery,
&.c, water was to give light and heat to the
world. Not only were cities to be lighted
with gas which should cost comparatively
nothing, but our steam engines and tea-kettles
were to be fired up by the same simple
element. Some noise was made about the
same time over an invention, by some one,
of a'n"electro-magnetic engine, of great
power and velocity, whose motive power
cost next thing to nothing. A paper was
lately read by a Mr. Petrie, belore the
British Association, on the subject of the
application of heat and electricity as mov
ing powers. He demonstrates that the
consumption of zinc in the galvanic battery
is very light, and that the cost is less than
ot coal. Mr. Hocking, a scientific gentle
man, in an article in the September No. of
the Athenxum, takes occasion to correct
this error, and shows conclusively that coal
is by fur the cheapest and best material for
producing heat. He says :
The author (Mr. Petrie) is in error when
he states 'that the best Cornish engines onlv
yield one-fourteenth of the power that the
com butt ion of the carbon actually represents;'
for it we consider ttio healing value of the
coaU to be represented by the quantity of
caibon which they contain, it will be found
that one pound of coal of a good quality and
such B8 will raise in the bed Cornish engine
t,U00,000 ib. one foot high will have healing
power equal to above 10,000', which, being
multiplied by Mr. Joulu's equivalent of 70o!
as used by the author, we shall have for the
theoretical power of one pound of coal the
sum of 7,000,000, and the practical result in
the Coruish engine being ihe sum of 1.000,
000, or one-seventh 'of the power that the
combustion actually represents.' The author
has not therefore given a correct alatemeutof
the practical value obtained from heat. It is
in fact, just double the value which he has
given it. The comparative cost of power ob
tained I rom heat and eluclricity, according to
the author's statement of the quantity of zinc
required per horse-power per hour, theoreti
cally and practically : Theoretically, the
consumption of nine jn the buttery should be
1 66 pound per hour per horse-pow er. Piao-
lieally it is from 50 to 60 pound per hour
Assuming that the price of zino is SO, per
ton and the price of coal 10s pei ton, their
relative prices will be as 40 to 1, 7'u-o
pouiuls of tool per hour will, used in the best
Cornish engine, produce the power of one
horse ; and to produce the same amount of
power by Ihe best electro maguetio engine
fifty pounds of xinc must be consumed.
Their comparative cost will, therefore, be as
(40X50 v ' ' '
- -1,000 1,000 to 1. Even auppo-
ing, with Ihe author, that engines may be
constructed to give one-fourth of the theore
tical power, the cost compared l the cost of

RIGHTS OF SCHOOL TEACHERS.
On the trial ol an action ot assault and
battery against a female teacher in ono of
(he common schools, of Philadelphia, lor
chastising a pupil, the Court (Kino, Presi
dent,) laid down the law a follows :
1st. That a Teacher of the Publio Schools
has the right to inflict chastisement upon a
pupil for improper conduct and breach of
School Discipline.
2d. That a Teacher of a Publio School has
the same right, in this respect, as a teacher
of n private school, or if there is any differ
ence, it is in favor of the rights of Public
Touchers.
3d.' That a Teacher can onlv be convicted
of assault and battery, where there is clear
evidence that the chastisement was uncalled
for, or immoderate and excessive. These,
raid the Judge,, are the principles of the law
the common law the law of Old England,
introduced into this country, and by these the
Jury ousht to be governed. There is no oth
er law no higher law and though we hear
ot members ot the branches of the Govern
rnent invoking the higher law, it has not as
vet toutiU any lavor in our judicial tribunals.
The question of fact for ilia Jury to consider
was, he said, whether the defendant had
overstepped the authority with which she
was invested.
KF" Another outrage was committed in
Moyamensing last Tuesday night. A party
of the police were fired upon, and Capt.
M'Shea and a policeman named Slaven,
were severely wounded. M'Shea received
two balls, one in the groin and another in
the thigh. Slaven was wounded by two
balls in the abdomen, and one in the leg.
His physicians have slight hope of his re
covery.

Master General is at the work of reform,
he had better extend his operations in this
direction.

EXCITEMENT AT CHICAGO.
The City Council at Chicago has passed
resolutions nullifying the act of Congress re
specting the Fugitive Slave Law, and releas
ing the Police from obedience to it. This act
of the City Authorities has caused great ex
citement, and last night a meeting of four or
five thousand people was held the Major
presiding. Senator Douglass made a power
ful speech, sustaining the acts of Congress in
passing this bill, and also the Compromise.
His speech had a powerful effect on the
meeting, and caused a change in public opin
ion in favor of the law and against the acts of
the City Council.

ASTRONOMICAL.
A circular from Professor Schumacher, o
Altoim, received by the editor of the Astro
nomical Journal, "announces the discovery
of a planet, on the 13th of September, by Mr.
Hind, at Mr. Bishop's Observatory, London?'
"From the discovery of Vesta by Doctor
Olbers, of Bremen, in 1848 no additions were
made to the number of known planets belong
ing to our system till the discovery of the
Asirc a by Hencke, on the 8th of December,
1845, a period of nearly forty years. Now,
in less than five years past, the have been ad"
ded no fewer than nin primary and two se
condary planets, so that our Solar system, as
at present known, consists of twenty primary
and the same number of secondary planets
or moons.
The discoverer of the new planet has pro
posed for it the name of Victoria, and 'a star
surrounded by a laurel wreath for a symbol;'
but it is not probable this name will be re
tained by astronomers. Lest some of the
readers of the American, who feel an interest
in such subjects, have not access to the names
of the nine new planets discovered within
the last five years, a list is subjoined, viz:
Aslrea, Flora, Iris, Hebe, Hygea, Metis, Par
theuope,. Victoria, and Neptune. To Neptune
has been discovered a satellite, and an addi
tional one to Saturn within that time."
Omnibuses in Lonbon. The total number
of omnibuses travelling the streets of London
is three thousand, paying duty, including
mileage, averaging 3 per month, or 324,
000 per annum. The number of conductors
and diivcrs is about seven thousand, paying
annually 5s. each for their licenses, or 1,
750 collectively. Tho average journey of
each omnibus is six miles, and that distance
is often travelled twelve times a day by each
omnibus. The proprietors pay their servents
fairly, and exact rigid sobriety, punctuality
and cleanlinesss. Their great difficulty is to
ensure honesty. Every proprietor insists upT
on the difficulty of trusting men with uncount
ed money. Several plans have been resorted
to, to obtain a check. One plan now in pra
tice, is to engage a well-dressed woman
sometimesaccompanied by a child, who trav.
els by the omnibus, and immediately on leav
ing it, fills up a paper for tho proprietors,
showing, tho number of insides anil outs, of
long and short (ares. Many other schemes
are employed to prevent dishonesty. One
of these women kept the list of passengers
with a bag of beans and peas.
Fugitive Slave Law in Boston About
half past four o'clock, on Saturday afternocn,
H. J. Knight, who is alledged to be a slave
catcher from Georgia, was ni rested by Depu
ty Sheriff Rugg, on a writ of slander.
The writ alieges that Mr. Knight chatged
William Crafts a citizen of Massachusetts
with being a slave, to the damage of his bu
siness, and detriment of his character, in the
sum of $10,000. Mr. Knight was taken to Mr
Rugg's office, where a great crowd soon as
somblcd, composed of whites nnd plncks
abuse was heaped upon Mr. Knight, but no
violence offered. Mr. Knight, after remain
ing in custody about half an hour, obtained
bail in S10.000, and was set at liberty. This
is said to be one movement of a series by the
opponents of tho Fugitive Slave Law.jo ren
der its execution as obnoxious as possible
The Committee of Vigilance have had seve
al sessions, ami hnve, it is said, resolved to
invite the suspected fugitive slave seekers to
leave the city foreivith. So far no attempt
has boen made to arrest a fugitive. The
warrants lie dead in the Marshall's office
The excitement is great. Many say Ihe law
should be enforced, while others cay it shall
not. A number of fugitives, fearing they
cannot be protected, have fled to Canada.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.
By the kindness cf a friend we have been
favored with the perusal of a letter front Cu

Spanish Government in that Island, &o. It is
dated, Matansa, Isle of Cuba, Oct. 15, I860)
ana nays that on tho evening of the 7th, and

with being spies and revolutionists: manvi
however, made their escape from the island
The writer of the letter then goes on to re

It is said that these men who are arrested
are some of the most wealthy and influential
persons in Cuba, nnd though they have been
taken up only on the mere supposition of be
ing spies, the whole country around, inclu
ding even the soldiers and officers of the ar
my itself, are dissatisfied, and dark mutterings
are frequently heard. By the intervention
of some olficer of the government, one or.two
of tho gentlemen were released, and managed
to leave the Island. Tho principal officers of

a remarkable degree. Some of theso veins
have been opened to a great depth, and traced
for three miles in extent, showing that they
are very regular and inexhaustible.

The Baronft Comf.oian, Sir William Don,
made his first appearance at Ihe Broadway
llieatre, new lorn, on JMondav niiiht. He
is said to bo a very fine looking man, some-
thing over six feet high, possessing a genteel
figure, and a handsome face. His voice is
good and his look and action irresistible ec
centric. He is droll without vulgarity j self
possessed without impudence ; easy, iiatuiah
and quaint, without any apparent staining nf

qualities in an actor, an.l will insure his suc

, "Killer" Dkilling. A Philadelphia
correspondent ol the Chester Republican,
says 'that in the Killer' gang to make up for
disparity of age and strength, the slung
shot was adopted as the most efficient wea
por they could use. This dangerous tool,
as used by the Killers, is a leaden ball ol
two pounds weight, fastened to a slron
cord four leet hi length, and attached to the
right wrist. When this club was organized,
crowd of young men and boys were con
stantly occupied in practicing the art of
using the shot, on the board fence in the
district. The science consisted in driving
it up to its head with one blow, and jerking
the ball back into the hand. So expert
did they become iu the use of this weapon,
that bystanders have seen men knocked
prostrate, without being able to tell bow or
by whom, it was done."

THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agriculttiral, and Liter
ary Newspaper.
The Hmlcrsicrnep submits to the dutilic Ms pro
posals for the Globe and its reports for the next
session of CmireM. , Congress has now so liber
ally pHtroniieil the undertaking that h will be es
tablished aa , standard work worthy of its official
imprimatur, unless the undersigned fails in hi
duty. This will not be the case if earnest effort
can avail. Tho Glolie is the only paper that will
furnish full reports of tho debates of the two Hou
ses of Congress; and having rccieved their sanc
tion s such, the best Reporters will be engage,!
to write out the debates of each tiny, will undergo
the revision of the Members. Tho work, IW
passing through the Ditv Gi.oi.it nd receiving
correction, will be presented, as finished, in the
CoxongssioxAl. Glork and Arrr.ltr.it.
The debates will probably increase In interest
during the next session. The one subject which
engrossed lhe last, will doubtless give way toother
of great variety, which, in this progressive coun
try, the conflictc of party and the ambition for
place and distinction, nccewarily produce. Vst
interests will be at stako upon tho decisions of
tho next Congress ; and there is great talent in
both branches, which will be evoked In their tlis
cussion.'v All the honors of the Kcpuhlic, depend,
cnt on the succession to the Presidency, as well a
all the grent and permanent interests which go to
the advancement of the power of the country, will
give impulse to tho action of the next session of
Congress.
The Daily Globe will be published daily during
the session of Congress, and weekly the rcmslnder
of the year. It will contain full and faithful re
ports of tho proceedings of both Houses of Con
gress; mid miscellaneous articles on those gener-
... nuju ni.icii u is aevoteu.

i ne vongrcsHionul IriolK) ami Appendix will

of each a week afterwards, until the end of the
session.
'jnmplctc indexes to the Congressional Globe

Nothing of a political party aspect will appear
in the Gi.ouk save that which will be found in the
Congressional reports. A paper assuming to ha
an impartial vehicle for nil sides, cannot maintain
its character if the editorial columns reflect a par
ty hue.
