One of our citizens, Mr. R. R. SAULTER, lately visited Cincinnati, and purchased a drove of horses. After they were collected together, the free-nigger and saur-kraut authorities of Porkopolis arrested him and took his horses away, on the ground that they would not permit anything to go South,and threatened to imprison him if he created any disturbance about it. Our friend "Dick," as the boys familiarly call him, kept his own counsel - employed a number of persons to assist him, and taking two horses at a time across the different ferries to Covington, Kentucky, got them all over into the "white settlements" before daylight next morning, and took up the line of march for this town, where he and his horses safely arrived last Friday.
