Hut later accounts say it is a truc story: Ohioans Caftured! - Great Excitement! - On the evening of ihe 9ih, three men from Ohio, Mr. C. Lornne, Mr. Gnrner, ond Mr. Thomas, all of Washington County, Ohio, were seized on the Ohio shore, by a body of men from Virginia, ond lodged in jarl at Pnrkerburgb, upon the charge, that tliey had aided the escape of slaves.

Gazttle.Or A paper called the "Baltimore Roy,'' referring to the escape of fugiiives, talks nbout the prospects of slaveholders in Maryland as follows: ''Slave proper ty in Maryland s becoming nearly worlhlcss. The abolkionists are doing their work efiectually, and in a few years more, Maryland will be numberedamong the free States. Emissaries are at work, secretly but surely, in every section of the State, and the fruits of their labors are seen, in movements like the above. The fate of Torrey is not sufficient to deter them from their stealthy eflbrt.s, and the slaves will continue to abscorid, until there are but a few left, lo be liberated by thal enlightened policy, aikick wc have no doubt vñll be adoptcd a no vcrydistant day, unless it be rolarded by the unwise policy of the abolitionists themselve s."0 Many persons are apprehensive that should ourRailroadsbesold, the rates i of fare and freight would be augmented. We have not before us the rates of the Eastern Railroads, but our impression is that the charges for freight on our road, are quite as high as at the East. A gen.leman in the milling business informs us that when he sends a barrel of Flour from Ann Arbor to Detroit, a distance of 40 miles, he pays 25 cents: for carrying the same barrel of Flour from Greenbush to Boston, a distance of a linie more than 200 miles, he pays 28 cents. Thus the Michigan charges are four times the greatest.
