from J.H. Pope.
_A warrant was issued in Boston_, January 10, 1855, by United
States Commissioner Charles Levi Woodbury, for the arrest of
JOHN JACKSON, as a fugitive from service and labor in
Georgia. Mr. Jackson, who had been for some time in the city,
was nowhere to be found.
ROSETTA ARMSTEAD, a colored girl, was taken by writ of
_habeas corpus_ before Judge Jamison, at Columbus, Ohio.
Rosetta formerly belonged to Ex-President John Tyler, who
_gave her_ to his daughter, the wife of Rev. Henry M.
Dennison, an Episcopal clergyman of Louisville, Kentucky.
Mrs. D. having deceased, Rosetta was to be sent back to
Virginia in care of an infant child, both being placed in
charge of a Dr. Miller, a friend of Mr. Dennison. Passing
through Ohio, the above writ was obtained. Rosetta expressed
her desire to remain in freedom in Ohio.
