Wo are informed by a gentleman i recently from Cn Tomm llial h warm j nnr' strong feeling of indignation has J boon excited ihronghont that Slate, | and pltfticnlarly anion;; the new emi-! i:nst Messrs Kreemont and T. Hntler Kuigi for their alleged mis- j representations of the country in their! pnb'ieations'ti the States. Thesenrs-j representations are avercd to be of j ine most paipauiy and notoriously , false character. A highly responsi j* b'c. gen* Ionian assured ns that it would i n >1 in' safe for either of the individual referred to to trust themselves in the mines. We were slow to credit ! snHi serious and damning impnta1 ions against men who have heen honored with the confidence of the neon'0 'v,t ?lu< source from, which these charges erafn.au?, and ino pr rtimlal it v with which t hoy arc brought forward and sustained, leave us no onvmi^o for (1 ^belief. If they are true. ' :i fearful responsibility will lie thrown upon the heartless speculators who have thus sported with the lives and happiness of thousands. An immense number of persons have been decoy-1 ed fr )m comfortable home bv the ww ii^ mm t-.\i i ?iv <if.'<uii uescri|juoii.s which have heen put a flout respeci-njjr the facility with which fortunes ron'd he made m the mines. There is no escape from this respon ihiljlv on the pha of the generality of the descriptions and the universalitv of the reports upon which they weir, founded. Men occupyn<r the positions of Fremont and finder KinjOvcffe under a solemn oh-" ligation to ascertain the truth of every statement issued hy them. They e'ther neff'ected to do this and cred Med idle and unsupported rumors, or they purposely disseminated the most false and deceptive accounts of ihe country in order to promote their own speculations. One illustration waspfiven wh en may he t-'iken as a fair suecimen of the general character or those misrepresentations. Jt will he recollected that Mr. 'J'. Butler Kinjr published allowing and extravagant description of the richness of the quart/, rock, from which, by means of simple machinery, ffold in large puantities couh Ijo extracted. This publication went into every p. rt ol the country, and excited in thousands a desire to emigrate, whi' li would not have possessed them even from previous descriptions. Thisclass of emi/rrants was composed of tiiose who had some means, who possessed : kill in the application of machinery. and would not have been willing to go to ihe country to engage in the drudgery of mere physical labor, such as that of minors. One gentleman from an adjoining Stale, who had capital, energy and s' ill. invested some %2,5()0 in the necessary machinery, and hired twenty good hands to accompany him to California, with a view of working the quai l/, rocks. On Ins arrival in California he proceeded with his machinery and his hands to 'he very reg.on indicated l>y Butter King as dial in which this quart/rock abounded. Here i'e found a great quantity of tho rock, but was astonished to )bsorve that the minors, instead of being engaged in boating up the rock, were digging in the beds of streams I . * / j i * iiiiecu aim i weniy ieei aeep, and making a bare support with the produce of tile most severe and exhausting laboi. He enquired of them where the quart/ rock could be found in I lie greatest abundance. They replied that any quantity of it could be found anywhere. "Well" asked qui*informant, "why don't you pet the gold out of it." "Gold out of it!1' r/tt\li/wl Krt ?v m j/nrvi mi' nuiiwi JiMI llliiy blood out of ft turnip before yon can find a grain of gold in this rod; ; if that follow, Butler King, ever comes out here, will beat his bones up smaller than we have beaten some*, of that rook in pursuit of gold." Our friend* however, determined to satisfy himself, went 1o work on the rock, and continued heating it , up, until he was rem>sded I hut d ho : went on working at this unpiofiita* I hie employment, ho would he out of piovi$ions before his labors could yield him anything. Tie therefore abandoned the region of quart/, rock i - I and, leaving his expensive machine* ry behind hid), proceeded to another part of tbo country, where ho worked long enough to got tb?*nieans of coming home. This getitlemnn is a highly respectable citizen, f. Oeorgian I?\ birth, and perfectly rasponsiblc for his statement. lie pronounces Mr. Butler King'4 publication a tissue of gross and cruel falsehoods from begimng to end. Iffe a)so avers y . that thethe r riclmoss nf T<Y?>Amnnt s W?>'.wAR<sir?na are equally unfounded and false?to use his own languange, kl would not give a blind mule for all the gold that could ho found in the land wliicb Fremont pretends to own."

We have received communications froi persons who have gone to California under these false representations, censuring us in common with oilier journals of the country for giving them currency. This, of course, is not just, as we had no I'^nsnn to linlini n llmi ploln??enKi published l>v us wore not. true; but we can easily appreciate and excuse the irritabiliiy and bitterness which . ry .l..rto??wv,uj il/urn / Jlli'.lllated to excite.?New Orleans Delta. Fugitive Slave Case in Philadelphia. ?Another fugitive slave case has occurred at Philadelphia. On Saturday afternoon a colorded man, passing by the name ol Adam Witisnu. was an* sted and taken to the United States Marshall's office whero a hearing' took place before Kdward IX Ingraham, Esq., United Stales Commissioner. The man was claimed to he Kmorv Rice, who had run JlWMV from Win. Kmirhf. livinnr in Cecil county, Aid., in 1811, and his age stated to be 35. His identity was proved l?v a witness, who testified that lie had seen him on Mr. Knight's farm at that timely. At .ilie ~loso of the arprmrrrnt tlw commissioner declared that all the formalities required by the law had been fulfilled, and being satisfied of : the fugitive's identity, he ordered him to be remanded, for the purpose of u,.:,... ..i~ i --- i ui-'iifj; |>uu;cii in iiiu j9?jsa?jst)iuii UI IJ1S owner. A In'',tc crowed of colored people* had congregated in front of Independence //all, whore the case was beared, and still continued thereat a late hour ; lnit the fugitive had been re: moved by the back wry, and was to go youth by the evening train. SnuaL-inir r>f llin nlirtirn (tin VA IIIU UI/W? u L-UOC IIIU Southern Press remarks : "The proceeding was a striking instance oi the immense moral force of the law. The fugitive was arrested on a pretense of < hicken stealing, ho was stolen away from thecout house by the officer and owner through a haclc (loor, to escape from the mob in front. l,As the compromise was passed under false pretenses, it is perhaps appropriate that it should be executed under false pretences."
