C7"Capt. Hill's company of "killers,"
while encamped at New Orleans, '-kicked
i:p a row" in the city and were "set on"
by the police, But the gallant Captain
would not surrender: and instead of ac
companying the posse to the police ofliee,
he took them prisoner and was marching
toward the barracks, when he was met
by the Lieutenant Colonel of the Regi

free. The Captain "guv in" and next

AN ISSUE WITH SLAYERY.
There sprung up, at the close cf the
last session of Congress, a quesnon of mo
mentous interest and importance. The
Prcridcnt h-d asked Congress for a con
fidential appropriation of 2,000,000, for
the purchase, as was supposed, of Cali
fornia. Mr. Yilmot, of Pennsylvania,
oilered a proviso to the bill, declariug that
Slavery should not exist in any territory
thereafter to be annexed to the Union.
And for once, thanks to Heaven, .Mem
bers of Congress from the East, the
North and the Vv'est, were true to them
selves, their constituents and the cause of
Freedom. The amendment was adopted;
but tli3 object'of the Administration in as
king for the money, being thus thwarted,
the bill was abandoned by its friends!
But the question comes up again in a
way that atford3 great encouragement.
The President again asks for $2,01)0,000.
And again it is proposed to provide for
the Freedom of the sol to be obtained ei
ther by purchase or conquest.
This question, in our judgment, has
bearings, deeper and broader than any, or
even all others, before Congress. It is to
determine whether the power of the Re-
jr b lo l0 vvieldej ia lhe ,pirit of
. Freedom, or to become subservient to Sla-
very. It is, in a word, a contest between
Freedom and Slavery for supremacy in
the Government of the Union? In such
a conflict, in the 10th century, among a
copio advanced m civilization, and pro-
Let it be borne in mind that ihe annex
ation of Texas was sought, avowedly, by
Messrs. Calhoun, Upshur, &c, fur the
purpose "of enlarging und maintaining a
muiaiei , a oiae majoniy in the U. o.
OcilavC.
Having acquired Tex?.s, the Adminis
tration next aimed at California, with oth
er portions of Mexican I crritory. That
Territory is now Free, and it is the duty
of Congress, should any portion of it
come, cither by conquest or purchase, m
to the Union, to protect its soil from the
curse of Slavery ' ; :'. . -
-While the South was content to stand
upon the : advantages it obtained in tho

Governor Shimk makes an exhibit of
our ciate finances, m inu course ui
which he states that the public debt has
been reduced within ihe year about $190,
000. This is nnlv the operation of the

Relief notes. His estimate, that at the

may be taken ofl", is only thrown out to
forestall the passage of the bill, for the

and Bibs, belonging to .the. revenue ser
vice, have been temporarily transferred to
the Navy Department, and are to join the
naval forces in the Gulf.
The steamers Scourge and Scoiiox
are now at the Brooklyn navy yard, and
will be soon ready for sea.
The storeship Stfply, now at Boston,
and one or two other vessels under Go
vernment charter, are detained until fur
ther orders from Washington, said to be
j i' consequence of the late erroneous news
Ir .i
from the army.
The Louisville Journal" of Saturday
says: "It. was reported that the steamer
General Taylor, bound to New Orleans,
was blown into the woods on Thursday
night in the neighbarhood of Blue river,
which knocked her chimnics down, da
maged her wheel-house, &c. The Pick
away was passed by the Courier night
before last lying in shore surrounded by
timber, some distance below this, but had
apparently sustained no damage.
The Messenger reports two coal boats
and a corn boat sunk at Owensborougii,
and a flat boat from the Ohio, below Cai
ro. She met the Ilarkaway, which had
lost her cliimnies."
The Madison Democrat says, that m
the Milwaukic land district ia Wisconsin,
700,000 acres of land have been sold
within twelvemonths, leaving but 500,
000 subject to entry. This is said to be
scarcely inferior in quality and advantages
to what has been already taken up, and if
the tide of emigration continue, not an
acre will be for sale at the expiration ol
1817.
