The U.S. Marshal, A.T. Hillyer, Esq., received a dispatch this
morning from officers Horton and Dellugelis, at Baltimore,
stating, that they had arrived there with the three slaves,
arrested here yesterday (the Penningtons), the owners
accompanying them. The officers will return to New York, this
evening.--_N.Y. Express_, 27_th_.
NEW YORK, May 30.
The Rev. Dr. Pennington has received a letter from Mr. Grove,
the claimant of his brother, who was recently taken back from
this city, offering to sell him to Dr. Pennington, should he
wish to buy him, and stating, that he would await a reply,
before "selling him to the slave-drivers." Mr. Groce, who
accompanied his "sweet heart," Matilda, in the same train which
conveyed the Penningtons to New York, had reason to apprehend
danger to all the Underground Rail Road passengers, as will
appear from his subjoined letter:
ELMIRA, May 28th.
DEAR LUKE:--I arrived home safe with my precious charge,
and found all well. I have just learned, that the
Penningtons are taken. Had he done as I wished him he
would never have been taken. Last night our tall friend
from Baltimore came, and caused great excitement here by
his information. The lady is perfectly safe now in
Canada. I will write you and Mr. Still as soon as I get
over the excitement. This letter was first intended for
Mr. Gains, but I now send it to you. Please let me hear
their movements.
Yours truly,
