The Aitnry Slave Case. A negro, named Archy, was sometime slneo ar-j rested by tho U. S. Marshal, in Califor- lima, as a fugltlvo slave, in accordance to tlio claim of a Mr. Stovoll, and af ter being carried up to tho Supreme Court, was remanded to tho custody of the claimant. Tho case has excited considcrablo attention, and caused' much commotion among abolitionists and frco negroes. When about to leave San Francisco for the States, tho caso. was brought beforo Judgo Freclon, u-lin kkhiwI n writ of hnhtna rnrnui fnr tho release of Archy, and a warrant for -the arrest of Stovallfor kldknap ping. The case was still in litigation In San Francisco at last accounts. The following dispatch, dated 17th; March, to tho Sacramento Union, U the latest wo havo received. It seems to us that it is an extraordinary procecduro on tho part of Judge Freelon in thus ignoring the decision of tho Supreme Court : Judgo Freclon, at 3 o'clock this af ternoon, denied the motion to dismiss tho warrant on which "Archy" was arrested, and said he would givo his reasons for this decision when it became necessary for him to pass upon tho writ of habeas corpus. On tho strength of this announcement, the counsel for Sto vall, after consultation, agreed that they would not make a rtturn to tho writ ; whereupon Col, llaker moved that Ar chy be discharged, to whioh the coun sel for S to vail consented, aud the peli tioncr was discharged. Tho negro was immediately again arrested by the U. S. Marshal, on a warrant, charging that he is a fugitive slave. Ho was there upon taken in chargo by several oil! cers, to the Marshal's office on Uattcry street. Thero was a large crowd of people, cf all colore, following through the streets, and several unsuccessful de monstrations were made to tako him from the officers, After depositing Ar chy safely In tho Marshal's office, the nolico took several darkies into custody far tnakiug themselves to officious. While the alleged fugltlvo was being taken through the the streets, there was great excitement both in the Court and in tho streets'. The Chess Tousnament.

On Thursday night of last week, says tho Yreka Union, of tho 26th, abuut 12 o'clock, a murderous attempt at toh- Ihcry was committed on Mr. Qtiinqne, wliilo on his way homo from tow n to his ranch, situated on ins middle urcen. horn trail, n short distance ouliidn tl'or town limits. He was attacked by three persons, undoubtedly tho ssmo scoun drels who attacked Mr. McFall somor two or threo vfeclta since, as stated by us. A blow was aimed at his breast with a knife, which fortunately .csniii in contact with tho (tuC& of nis pistol.

Ho was knocked down with a club, or nlber)ieavy ln strument, disfiguring his facoand leav ing him senseless for tho timo, and rob bed of 9'iO '.Xj. Tlio roads in tlio di. rcction of Greenhorn seem to be tlicr favoritn points of attack of this band of outlaw, who havo so far managed to cheat tho gallows of its dues. Extradition Case. Two men named Spangcrand Edwards, wero ar rested in San l-Vanciscn week befnro last, on a warrant Issued by Gov. Wel ter under n requisition from tho Gov crnor of Oregon. They aro charged with being implicated with Walton, re cently convicted of grand larceny in Oregon, and sentenced to seven years Imprisonment in the penitentiary. Itii said that tho In'ter in his confession, charges them with complicity in the crime. Tho Herald says : "Tho prisoners were brought before Judgo Freelon on habeas cortms, on an application to bo discharged from cus tody, several objections wero made to tho sufficiency of tho warrant of ar rest, l csterdny, Judgo Ireclon uocld ed to dischargo tho petitioners, on tho ground that tho warrant of arrest did not set out that any Indictment had been found, or an affidavit made, charg. ing tho prisoners with any ofTenso. The prisoners were at once rearrested on another warrant, whlchhad been pro cured from Got, WclUr. A vrrll of habeas corpus was again obtained, and another hearing Is to take placo next week."
