After watching him some time, the officers opened the door, whereupon the negro hastily retreated through a window, leaving his cap behind. The proprietor of the house subsequently captured a negro named Cyrus, the property of Jno.

The negro effected an entrance into the house by forcing open a window. The amount of his plunder was 150 coppers.

course of his remarks, counselled the preservation of the status quo by the Government; but said if peace were to be preserved, the South must act in a friendly spirit. It won't do to take the forts, ships and arsenals. He denounced the firing into the Star of the West, eulogized the magnanimity of Anderson, and argued against the right of secession. Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, maintained that the acts of the South were unjustifiable — that conspirators and traitors had been influencing the Executive for the last four years--the Republican party ought to die if it engrafts property in man on the Constitution, etc., etc. If the President had done his duty, these troubles would not now exist.
