Mischief Still Afoot. We published, yesterday, telegraphic despatches from Philadelphia, announcing the serving of warrants upon two U. 8. Deputy Marshals for alleged assault in making an ar rest of a fugitive slave at Wilksbarre, The name of the negro arrested is William Thomas, who is claimed by Isham Keith, of Fauquier county, in this State, as his runaway slave. It is also stated by the Washington Star that the Secretary of the Interior, in reply to a letter from the S.

Marshal for the Eastern District Pennsylvania, apprising him of the circumstances of the case, lias written a letter to that functionary advising him to lose no time in obtaining the necessary legal assistance from the lato oflb cer of the United States, and assuring liim that the Department and the whole government at Washington are determined, at all hazards and at any cost, to carry out the provisions of the fugitive slave law. The constant recurrence of attempts in the free States to resist the execution of that law is well calculated to awaken serious reflection in the minds of all true friends of the Union and the Constitution, both in the North and the South. There is not one provision of the Constitution more clear and binding than that which relates tothe surrender of fugitive slaves, and there never was a law passed by the Congress of the United States more unquestionably constitutional, more explicit, and more stringent, than the law of September 18th, 1850. All this is admitted by the rankest abolitionists, and it is their great glory and boast that they trample under foot the law and the Constitution. Here is, daily, practical nullification of the worst kind, and unless the Government put it down by measures which will compare in vigour and stringency with the spirit and provisions of the law, it will proclaim the lamentable weakness of the Federal Union, and its utter incompetency to fulfil the purposes for which it was established.

It is a singular fact that the slightest whisper of nullification in the South arouses the universal indignation of the' Northern press, and the United States Government is invoked in tones of thunder, to execute the laws and to hang as high as Hainan the rebels and traitors who resist them. But when the law is resisted, and its officers insulted day after day in the Northern States, the leyal and patriotic devotion to the Constitution, which just now made the whole heavens red with a blaze of indignation, sinks into a sickly and smouldering flame. We hear no more of hanging rebels the slogan of Death to Traitors dies away upon the ear, the only blood shed is that of Southern men in pursuit of their legal rights, blood which cries in vain from the ground for vengeance. And it is considerfcd a marvellous exercise of patriotism, and a most praiseworthy and majestic vindication of the law if the Southern master, after enormous expense and great personal risk, secures his property, and the officers of justice themselves escape hanging! we do not believe for a moment that the mass of the Northern population, however strong may be their convictions of the unprofitable character of slave labour, sympathize with the purposes of abolitionism. At the same time, it is true and natural that, for the most part, they do not sympathize with slavery, and, when a slave escapes from his master, they do not feel called upon to make any active efforts for his re-capture.

The whole brunt of that battle falls upon the officers of the law, who generally perform their duty in good faith, but are not inspired and sustained by the powerful moral aid of a sound and healthful public opinion. It is clear to our minds that, unless the good and patriotic men of the North cease to content themselves with a passive position in relation to the execution of the law, and become, like the abolitionists themselves, bold, active and aggressive, the fugitive slave law will, in the end, be a mere dead letter and a nullity. The South has on its side the constitution and the law. This is its vantage ground. But of what avail is the law unless it is sustained by public opinion And consider the influences which are daiiy and universally operating in the formation of that public opinion.

The pulpit, the press, the politician and the schoolmaster, are, with the exceptions of the chief commercial cities, engaged in daily misrepresentations of the institutions and the people ol the South, whilst novels and romances, like "Uncle Tom, arouse the sympathies of the multitude in behalf of imagined sufferings, and lead even honest and ingenu minds to believe that they are doing God service in assisting a slave to escape from his master. We have endeavoured to write calmly and dispassionately upon a most exciting topic, and in thus writing, we feel that we best reflect the spirit aad temper of the Southern people. The day has past for angry recrimiuations and empty menaces. Bat the South sees its position and its future the more clearly, because its eyes are no longer clouded by the mists of passion. It will be prepared to meet whatever exigency may hereafter arise, with a dignity and resolution becoming its history and character.

The Union, whilst the common compact is observed by North and South, is a diadem of strength and glory, fit to be worn upon the brow of great nation. But, when the provisions of that compact are violated by either party to It, and when the spirit of Union has departed, exterior splendor can secure its lost empire in the hearts of the people. Errors in Life of Patrick Henry. Mrs. 8.

Winston, a daughter ef Patrick Henry, who Athens, Alabama, WnU in the k. iL COrrectil, errors in Wirt's life of the great Virginia Orator Wirt wu not acquainted with Mr. Ilenry, in- deed never saw him. and consequently relying entirely upon the information of others, might naturally fall into mistakes sometimes. Mrs.

Winston says: There an error on 4H of the Life of P. Henry, where it stated, that in one of earlier purchases he blamed for having availed him of the existing laws of the State in paying for it In the depreciated currency of the country, nor wu he free from censure on Account of participation which he is said to hare had in the of the Yaxoo Of the parr hate of land with depreciated currency, I know nothing, and am therefore it miwt a mistake. At the close of Washington's administration, Patrick Henry spoken of hit successor, and a charge app -ared in the of the day, that he had repaid a mm of money borrowed from Mr. King of Norfolk, with the depreciated Continental currency. Being conacioua of his ionocence, he took no to contradict charge in a public manner; but mother, who waa a high-splrited woman, wrote to Mr.

Ambler, the then Tressurer of Virginia, through whoae agency the repayment had been made, and got hia statement. that the money naed on that occasion waa gold and This statement was publiahed in the ot the day. and I doubt not this is the affair which gave rise to the charge above mentioned. Had there another transaction of the same nature, 1 should heard of it." Birr. Winston concedes that Mr.

Henry was interested In the Yazoo remembers that he sold his interest to a Mr. Burwell, who sold it again to Henry Lee. Colonel of the celebrated "Legion." She remarks, however, that "the well informed need not bo told, that many persons of unquestionable integrity became purchasers of the Yazoo stock, and that all the criminality of the afTair is attached to the originators of the scheme." All Americans will feel interest in the rectification of every historical error connected with the life of the great man whose heaven inspired eloquence gave an impetus to the ball of the American Revolution, without which that Revolution would have been a failure. The filial devotion and loyalty with which Mrs. Winston seeks to efface the slightest imagined spot upon the glorious disc of her father's fame, proves her the worthy daughter of such a sire.

Virginia State Agricultural Society. THREE CHEERS FOR To this noble county, more than to any other county in the State, is Virginia indebted for the existence of the Virginia State Agri cultural Society. When less than two years ago a call was made for assembling in Richmond the friends of agricultural improvement, the response of Albemarle was such as at once to inspire the hope of complete success in the attainment of the object tor which the convention was assembled. Her best men and best farmers came in imposing numbers to cheer the hearts and enlighten the councils of one of the most important assemblages, as the future will reveal, that has ever been convened in Virginia with reference to her agricultural interests. Had she made no further efforts, she would have entitled herself to the gratitude of her country.

Hut what has she done Not content with setting the ball in motion, she has been actively and constantly engaged in increasing its momentum. She has contributed, through her liberal and enlightened citizens, upwards of $500 of material aid, and is still in the field, with a zeal and enthusiasm which, we doubt not, will, by the first day of November, nearly double the amount. She has established her claim to be the standard-bearer at the State air to be held in this city in November next, supported by Orange and Charlotte, and close at their heels the county of Caroline. Thus will the worthy custodiers of the remains of Jefferson, Madison, Patrick Henry and John Taylor be the leaders of the van, whilst many other counties will win honorable and all Virginia, may we not hope, will give a good account of themselves. Deaf;" Dumb and Blind Institution.

There is no benevolent institution in Virginia which reflects more credit upon the philanthropy of the State than the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institution at We were deeply impressed upon a recent visit with the wonderful and beneficent results of the exertions which have been made to enlighten and elevate this unfortunate class of human beings. At some future time we design to speak of the subject more in detail. The Rev. J. D.

Tyler, the late gifted and lamented Principal of the Institution, rendered invaluable services to the State in founding this noble charity. He is worthily succeeded, as Principal, by Dr. Merillet, an accomplished gentleman, who ha 3 special charge of the Blind Department, and by Mr. Covell, a most efficient and indefatigable instructor, who is the Vice-Principal, and has charge of the Deaf Mute Department. Women's Rights.

There is a good deal of noise still kept up by some women in Bloomers and some men with long hair, in the North, about Women's Rights. What the masculine wing of the agitators mean by such nonsense, we can't imagine, unless it be to ingratiate themselves with their female confederates. However, there are some men, who are only formally and externally men, who have a beard upon their lips and wear pantaloons, but are inwardly and essentially women, and whose disembodied spirits will appear on the other side of the river Styx in the garments appropriate to their spiritual sex. To this class undoubtedly belong the nominally male creatures who figure in the Women's Rights Conventions of the North. They are not men in any just sense of the when they maintain that women are fully equal to the other sex, if they judge that sex from them selves, they have abundant grounds for their conclusion.

But it would be crying injustice to declare that these agitators in trowsers boots resemble woman in any respect but her weaknesses and infirmities. Destitute of the manhood of the lord of the creation and of the modesty of the other sex, they can neither claim the respect of the one nor the sympathy of the other. On the other hand, some of these female agitators are essentially men, and the gentler sex, to which they professedly belong, is not responsible for their eccentricities. Women who make speeches in public assemblies, who practice medicine and accept the pastoral charge of congregations, are simply men, and will be regarded as such by all who have any dealings with them. Who could feel towards them as women 1 Who could ever fall in love with them 1 One would as soon think of entertaining a tender emotion for a steam engine.

If women will become men, they must bo content to surrender the sway which the dainty softnesses of their character have hitherto excrcised over the hardy and ragged sex, and to inspire no other than those which belong to their new character. For oaraelveo, wc believe that If there ever have been wottten in Christendom who did not exercise their rights, it was the mothers of these agitators and fanatics, who had the right, but evidently did not see fit to employ it, to use the rod upon a fool's back. Spirit of the Press. Yesterday's comments upon the enquiry whether the Administration sides with the Hards It the fact that the Washington Union has, for the last two kept up an Incessant fire upon the Hards, and that the Washington Sentinel assailed the and Barnburners, repudiating the idea that the President sympathises with them. The chooses to regard the Union as the organ ot the Administration, until there shall be some authorititive renunciation of tt as such.

Presuming, therefore, that the Union re fleets the and affinities of the Administration, it concludes that every attack by the Southern Democratic press upon the Soft Shell, Free Soil party, in New York, is a blow struck at the Administration. Tho Whig further comments upon Mr. Mab ct's letter. It quotes an extract frotn it, in which it discovers certain anii-fiUibuttering touching the policy of tho Administration the consoling assurance that the President means to iterate the solemn pledges of his Inaugural address The Enquirer considers the people of the U.

In the midst these exalted ideas, itthiuks we might find occupation at home just now, in tho preservation ol the lives and property of our own citizens. Alluding to the Indian depredations on the frontiers, and thejoutrazes of the Mexicans, it sajs: It mav seem a little ludicrous, but it will not be uninstructive, to contrast our high pretensions to transatlantic influence, with our utter inability to protect our own citizens Iroin the hostilities ot a tew hundred marauding Indians.

Fairfield was a very interesting day at Fairfield, owing mainly to the tact that the great South Carolina mare "Nina," who had conquered the renowned Virginia horse "Red Eye," one of the best sons of the almost invincible "Boston," was to run in a three mile race for a purse of $500, against "One Eye Joe" and "Trogan," two horses of celebrity on the turf. Like the day before, the track was exceedingly heavy, on every foot of which a horse would sink fet lock deep in the burning sand and as the wind was biisk, and travel abundant, the air seemed loaded with floating fields of suffocating dust, which apparently encompassed all around.

Indeed the aveuues leading to the Course strongly reminded one of an Arabian Simoon, sweeping onward in its parching, suffocating destructiveness. A continuous week's rain would not begin to make the track as heavy as on yesterday. Long before the hour of starring several hundred persons had gathered about the long house, and every ane seemed anxious to invest a few dimes on the success of "Nina." By this means the South Carolina mare soon had the call at three and four to one agaiubt the field, and in some instances heavier odds than that were offered. A few minutes before 1 o'clock, the three contestants appeared upon the field, ech looking remarkably well; though, to our eye, the great favorite bad improved vastly since her late match, and after examining her, and seeing her perfect keep, and the confidence manifested by her admirable trainer, Mr. Young, we have no idea that the masses would have shrunic from her support, however fleet and lasting her competitors might have been, regardless of the distance.

"Joe." certainly a fine liorse, seemed to us rather thin, and Trogan, from the apparent tenderness of his ''pins," was scarcely countea upon. The time having arrived for starting, the horn sounded, and the trio came up in handsome style, Trojan first. Joe second, and Nina third. Atthe word "go," the three dashed off together, when Lewis, the rider of the mare, instantly took her in hand and brought up the rear, Trojan leading off handsomely, closely pursued by Joe. Strung oft in tingle file, with several lengths between them, the three quarter pole was passed, and Joe made play for Trojan as they came down the quarter stretch, the mare also eating up by way of keeping company, but the sorrel was first to pass under the string, having gone the mile in 1.59.

The second mile iseutered and Trojan cmtitinues to lead, Joe being aclose second, the mare making athird, well in hand and evidently abiding her time. But now the three quarter pole is reached, and Joe, unwilling to stand the dusting longer, Jets out a little, passes the sorrel, and enters the quarter stretch at a killing stride, the mare having assumed the second Elace, by one of her beautiful brushes, and reached is withers as he passes under the string, the second mile having been run in 1.52. Joe now has the lead, with the mare for a close compauion, the two having parted company with the sorrel, who, disgusted with "gracefully falls back, determined to have no further say in the matter. The half mile pole in the third heat is now reached, and once more the rider of the more mahes a call upon her, to which Bhe responds with the fleetness of an antelope, laping Joe, coquetting with him for a short time, and then 6howiug him her heels, tills his eyes with loose sand, and dashes off for home, making the last mile in 1.59, Joe being second, and Trojan Time of the heat 6.50. The chances against the mare now, had all vanished, and one hundred to twenty, aud even to ten, went begging, all seeming to think that unless she broke her neck or leg, she was boui dto win: for the little spin of three miles that she had taken, had been nothing more than good exercise for one of hoi- speed and bottom.

Forty minutes having expired, the two were again "blowed" to the score, each looking fresh and fine, and at the word, the two pumped oft together, but Lewis again took his mare in hand, and continued to trail his competitor, running the first mile in 2.03, and the second in 1.55, until coming down thfe back stretch in the last round, when he went up easily, passed Joe, and beating him home, mare well in hand, making the last mile in 1.56J, and the heat in 5 5-IJ.

Taking a Tack. negroes from all quarters of the State flock iuto Richmond as their city of refuge, and notwithstanding the viplance of the Police, and the untiring ettorts of the Mayor, to drive them from our inidst, we occasionally find one who liangs on to the "Metropolis" with all the desperation of a sinking man to a floating straw A case of this character came before the Mayor yesterday morning A free negro, named George jones, emancipated by Osborne Jones of Amelia, and ordered to leave the Commonwealth two years age, was arrested by the Police under a criminal charge, having in bis possession the following pass: Richmond, August 6, 18j3 The bearer, mv servant, George Jones, has permission from me to look for a place to work.

I cau recommend Uim as honest, steady and iudustnoas. For terms of hiring and further particulars, apply to me. Joseph M. Carringtom. The prisoner, when taken iuto custody, declared himself to be the property of Jos.

M. Oarruigton, and was so entered upon the watch book. Mr. Carrtagton was therefuie summoned before the Mayor, and on being shown the note, declared that the negro ro Perty, and that he had purchased him ef himself, and gave the pass copied above. Mr- Carring Um supposed a free man had a right to dispose of 'son as he pleased.

The Mayor seemed astonished at such a declaration from a member of the bar, and should be glad to see the law authorising one free man to sell hioMelf into ilmrj to mother. He had bens public prosecutor for nearly thirty years, and had nearer seen one law for roch an act.

It proper for to ear that Mr. Carrlniton. who member ef the City Council, informed the Mayor that he knew of of where were Illegally kept in the city, and he ready to fire aid to get rid of them. vegetables, eggs, poultry and butter cootinne high, owing to the fact that but few country are visiting the city, and the traders are compelled to rely upon the Northern markets for a supply.

In our notice of the markets a day or two since, we inadvertently used the word "license" in connection with "hucksters," thereby conveying the idea that these persons procured a license from the city to sell, under the market ordinance, which is not the case. The tax they have to pay is in the premium and rent of their benches, which, of course, is made out of the consumer. Our object in that notice was merely to call the attention of the City Council to the importance of affording facilities to the country people to attend the markets free of expense, for by so doing, we feel satisfied that many of them would turn their attention to raising poultry, fruits and vegetables, and thereby supply our with home instead of compelling the traders, as at present, to rely upon what they oan purchase in the Northern markets. Many of our readers will be surprised to learn that the best fruits and the finest cabbaies to be had in our markets, are brought here from New York by the steamers, and command exorbitant prices. F.ges and poultry too, as well as fresh butter, find their way to the Richmond markets, after travelling more than a hundred miles, and the owners find that they pay handsomely, even after being thst distance.

And why is this 1 We can account for it in no other way than by the presumption that persons ownin? small patches of sterile land in the neighborhood of the city, prefer to scratch it over and raise roastinsears, rather than turn their attention to the rearing of poultry and vegetables, because the city has never offered them any advantages to induce them to embark in a more prosperous business than that in which they have been engaged all their lives. We make no complaint against the hucksters who supply our markets, daily, with Northern productions. To their enterprise our city is mainly indebted for the necessaries of life, and we give them full credit for what they do. But we are anxious to see the Council ofTer our country people inducements to attend the and supply them with fruits, vegetables nnd poultry, and in order to do we think it important that some vacant sj ace sh; uld be appropriated to 'heir use, and they be allowed to sell whatever they have, free from all tax. If this is done, we have not a shadow of a doubt that small farmers in the neighborhood of the city, and large ones too.

can be induced to attend the markets and aid in supplying our people with the necessaries of life. The "Fakir of Siva'' and the Ethiopian Brothers, consisting of two infant prodigies, Master Charles (seven years old) and Master Lewis Rentz. (nine years old,) assisted by their brothers, Messrs. L.

Six days shalt thou labor.

Kraker was lined by the Mayor yesterday, fjr carrying on his usual business last Saturday and Sunday, iu violation of a State statute. The laws of the State require every man to suspend business one day out of ha can select eitherthe first or the seventh for this purpose, but if he fails to obeerva one the other, then it imposes a punishment for the offence, which the Mayor never fails to have carried out, when apprised of the fact. Nor Concluded. Shultz was summoned before the Mayor to show cause why he should not be fined for following his daily avocation on Saturday and Sunday. Officer Johnson, who gave ih infirmation, saw Shultz's store open on Saturday, an 1 saw men come out of it on Sunday, with goods in their hands.

S. denied having made any sale on Sunday, and endeavored to oxplain away the circuw stance related by the officer, by saying that the goods wt re merely delivered Sunday because he did not intend to open Monday or Tuesday. The Mayor gave him until this morning to get witnesses to substantiate his assertions. Stealing a slave, in the service of Joseph Mo6by, received a flogging by order of the Mayor, on suspicion of stealing one overcoat, one dress coat, oue pair of pants and three vests, from William Coles, the property of Mrs. Sara Thornton, on the night of the 2d inst.

Ira and William roomed together, and undercover of night, when his room mate was asleep, Ira stole away his wearing apparel, and after depositing it in a place of safe keeping, returned to the room about 10 o'clock at night, vveked William up, and told him that his clothes were gone, and that he was scared nearly to death when he came in for fear that some person was in the room and would knock him in the George Jones, an emancipated free negro, who was supposed to have received the clothiug from Ira, was acquitted on that charge, the Commonwealth failing to establish his guilt; but he was sent below to answer to a more serious of remaining in the Commonwealth iu violation of law.
