T=IAL 07 3ON. P. S. BROOKS PO ASSAULT ON SENATOR SUMNER. In the Criminal Court at Washington Wed nesday, Hon. P. S. Brooks appeared before Judge Crawford to answer to the charge of as sault upon Senator Sumner. Mr. Brooks was accompanied by Senator Butler and a number of other friend'i. The District Attorney appear ed for the United States, and John A. Linton. Esq. and Hon. Mr. Orr of South Carolina, for defence. The Star of Thursday evening gives the following report: The Distrit, Attorney read the correspondence that had passed between him and Mr. Sumner -a letter from Mr. Sumner, dated Silver Spring, June 30, in which he expressed his inability to attend on the day assigned for the trial; a letter from the District Attorney to Mr. Sumner, sta ting that wiinesses were in waiting from a dis tance, who were anxious to be examined, and inquiring what day his health would permit him to appear, and if he would be willing to accept the proposition of defendant's coansel, to sub mit the ease upon the evidence before the House committee; a letter of Mr. Sumner its reply, ex pressing surprise at the communication of the District Attorney, that he (Sumner) had nothing to do with the case directly or indirectly ; that its whole conduct belonged to the Attorney of the U. States; a letter from Mr. Key, replying that though the conduct of the case belonged to the Attorney of the U. S. he did not suppose that in any case the desires of a public prosecu tor to confer with and cons4 the wishes of the injured parry would excite 6urprise; that having received no answer to his inquiries, the trial would proceed on the 8th of July, at which time he hoped Mr. Sumner would be able to at tend; a letter from Mr. Sumner that he would not probably be able to attend' at that time, and reiterating his desire not to take any part in the proceedings. The examination of witnesses was then enter ed upon. William Y. Leader, J.mes W. Simonton, Hon. L. M. Keitt, Senator Pearce, Senator Tombs, Dr. -Boyle, Dr. Lindsay and Senator Benjamin were examined, the evidence being substantially the same as that elicited before the Congressional committee. Senator Benjamin testified to Sumners speech having been printed in advance of its delivery. Senator Toombs, while on the stand, at the request of the counsel for the defence, read from the speech of Mr. Sumner the portion at lacking Senator Butler and South Carolina. The evidence being concluded, Mr. Brooks rose, and the thronged court-room listened in absorbed silence while he proceeded, in a few brief words, moat appropriately expressed, to address the court, as follows: May it please your Honor: 1May I be permit ted to say a word?3 [Judge Crawford-Certain ly.] I appear ini person before this honorable court simply to receive. is judgment. I would have preferred that the persopn upon whom the delivery in the 8 nate. . . feel cotnfident that under oath he could not -have denied this fact, which, with due deference to your honor, 1 re gard as material to my defen~ce, inasmuch as a libel is sontrary to law, and to that extent would operate in extenuation of my offence. I would like to have inquired of him, in per. son, as to the degree of his personal injuries. and to have been itformed in what way he could reconcile that part of htis statement as to the words used by me whent the assault was made with the sentence whi,:h immediattely succeeds this language, in his testimony before the lii vestigating Committee. and which is as follows: "While these words were passing from his [my] lips lie commetnced a succession of blows with a heavy cane on my bare head, by the firsl of Johich Isoas stunned so as to lose sight." -It would have gratified me had he becen com pelled to answer unader oath as to the violence of the first biotv, which, I aver, was bu-, a tap, and intended to ptut him on his guard. But, sir, he is convetniently and deliberately absent, and on travel, notwiths.tanding but six days ago this case was postponed on account of - his extreme indisposition and the materially of his testimony ; and yet. wvith all these disaidvan tages, I prefer to receive the judgment of the court than to continue in auspense. I have already accomplished more than half of the journey of life, and this is the first time that it has been my misfortune to be arraigned before any judicial tribunal as a breaker of any law of my country. I confess, sir, and without *shame, that my censibilities are disturbed by my novel position, and I have but to express my profound regret that in discharging a duty imposed upon me by my own sense of right and the sentiment of the gallant people it is my pride and honor to represent, I atm constrained as ta consequence to approach you as a violator and ot as a maker of the laws. In extenuation of my offence, permit me to) say that no extraordinairy power of invention is requsite to imagine a variety of personal griev anes, which~the good of society and even pub. lie morality require to be redressed; and yet no adequate legal remedy may be had. So also, are those cases which may fall under the con demnation of the letter-of the law, and yet like considerations will restrain its penalties. The villain who perverts the best feelings of the bettr sex, and rewairds unsuspecting devotion with ruin, may bid defiatnce to this honorable court. But where a sister's dishonor is blotted oit with the blood of her destroyer, an inteli gent and wholesome public opinion, embodied n an intelligent and virtuous jury, .always has, and always will, control the law, and pimpular sentiment, -will applaud what the books may condemn. -It is the glory of the lawv that it is founded ini reason. But can that reasoning be just which is not regardful of human feelings ? Sir, no one knows better than yourself that such a reproach dos not rest upon our jurisprudence ; for. even the stern I -tter of the law touches with tender ness the husband who slays in tbe act the usur per of his bed. The child who kills in defenace -of its parent is excused by the law, which is ever regardful of the virtuous impulses of nature. By a parity of reasoning patriotism is regard ed by every nation upon earth as-the cardinal political virtue. Sons are made to reward it, and to perpetuate the names of those who are its exemplars-and can it be expected, will it be required that 1, with a heart. to feel and an arm to strike. shall patiently hear'and ignobly sub mit while my political mother is covered with insult, and obloquy, and dishonor? while her character is slandered, and her reputation libel Sir, the substance which I have been gather ing for my children may be snquandered, my body may be consigned to the common jnil, my Jjfe itself may be forfeited, but I will be true to the instints of my nature-true to thte home of my maturity, and to the mother that bore me. The first political lessofl which my ripening acuties fully comprehended and appreciated was the high moral hnd social obligation of every citizen to bow liinself- to the majesty of he law. In cobeince to. .the prec-epts of. my youth which si'r sanctioned by. the experence and jdgment -of mature years I anbinit -my ea ,t...aht.iwtionl of jte eonrt, with entire confidenee, that while you, sir, as a maistrate, perform your whole duty to the country and yourself, you will remember that in every regu lated community public '0inion distinguishes be tween crime and honorable resentment, and toler erates the refuge which men somet'es seek in the magnanimity of their judaea. Upon the conclu',ion of Mr. Brooks' remarks, Judge Crawford proceeded to give the follow ing decision: "As this matter will be within a short time the subject of investigation in another place; an it is not necessary to the discharge of my duty that I should remark on the avidence adduced, which I could t.ot do without touching on some points that will probably be raised elsewhere, it appears to me to be proper that the sentence of the court should be pronounced without com ment. That sentence is that the defendant pay at fine of $300." EING'S KOUNTAI XILITARY SCHOOL. The examination of tlis flourishing tnatitut ion commenced on the 25th ultimo, and continued three days, ending with an Exhibition and an Annual Address on Friday, the 27th. Those, who were present during the examination of the various classes, must have been forcibly imprds Ked with the superior advant.-ges for education and mental discipline, which this excellent school :ffords. The exercises were conducted by Capt. U. Jenkins, Lient. A. Coward and C. A. Sea brook, Esq, and embr:aced the following branch es of study, viz: Arithmetic, English Grammar, Parker's Aids, History, Algebra, Geomeiry, Nat ural Philosophy and French ; in all of which the Cadets gave the most satisfying evidence of hav ing been thoroughly taught, and reminded us strongly that the old adage-" What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well"-has not been ,-ntirely ignored. The more fashionable phrase -- un versal accomplishments"--we fear is gaining ground in our country; hence the grow ing superficiality of education: hence the for midable lint of 'ologies in the programme of our chool studies. In these remarks we are very far from seeking to cast censure upon the system of any single inAtitution, our object being if possible to arouse a potent spirit among us-a spirit which we be lieve is at work in some quarters, beneath all this noise and smoke. There is a force at the but om which will yet work out good and perfect fruits. We say, then, let the education (of our vouth be the substantial nutriment or the mind niot intellectual pyrotecbtics that dazzle and blaze for a time, yet leave only a vague and misty impression behind. When institutions ot learning can be made to subserve such a purpose, they become mighty engines for good to any and every comit'unity, and should be regarded and cherished as such. We must not omit to notico the Exhibit'on, which was decidedly the most interesting we ever had the pleasure of attending. The crow ded auditory of parents and friends. proved their appreciation of the education of their sons and wards, and, indeed, the progr.s, of humanity, as onward and upward. Generaily speaking, the young gentlemen acquitted themelves well. [Yorkrille Enquirer. From the South Carolinian. EXPLANATORY. The reporer wio arranged Judge Butler's speech fur publica ion has setit us the following, which we take pleasure in publishing: WASHINGTON, July 7, 1856. DEAR SIR: I observed in the " Charliston Mercury," a few days since, an article reftiiting raher unjustly on the honorable Setiators from your State. IL reads thus: "MEsSRs. EDIToRs: It is somewhat strange that gen.lemen holding the position of Messrs. Butler atnd Evans, should betray ignoratnce of the Constitution of the State that they represent. The cudgeled Senator from Massachusetts says, in the speech that led to his just chasliseent, that the Constitution of Southi Carolina requires that all voters should hold land and negroes as a qualifieation for the dischiargo of the elective ranchise. Our Senators answer that this is an error; but, in answering, fall -into an error them selves. Mr. Buttler says that the voer is re quired to have paid a tax of seventeen shillings before he can deliver his ballo. 'Mr. Evans cor is three shillings. .In this both are in-error, as the humb.est voler itn the Staite can inform them." I arranged the speech for publicntioni, and know that the article of the Cutnstitution as quoted in Judge Butler's priinted speech was purely accidental. The reporter, as is customa ry in such cases, was handed, with numerous other books, one conitaitting the Constitutiotns of all the Status-and coipied the suffratge article from the Constitutioni of Suth Cagulina of 1790), instead of the amenided artiele of 1810, which reads as follows: - Every free while man of the age of twenty one years, paupers and non-commissioned officers and private soldiers~of the army of~ the United States excepted, being a citizen of this State, and having resided thtereini t wo years previous to the day of election,atid who hath a freehold ot irty acres of land, or a town lot of which lie hath been lega-lly seized and possessed at least ix months before such election, oir, tnt havim2 such freehold or towna lot, hath been a resident in the election district in which he offers to give his tome six tmonths before the said election. shall have a right to vote for a member or mem ber.a to serve in either branch of the Legislature for the election district in which he holds such property, or is so resident." I did not ob~erve the error of the reporter un til too latte for correction. Youra very respect, fully, TIIOS. P. MORGAN. THE DISMIssAL OF CRAMP'ro.-The follow. iig is ati extract of a private letter, aated Lon do, June 17, 1856: We are all in -high spirits to-dazy at the break down of Lord Paltnerston on Cramptotn's din missal. It was a bad tig for him Lo do, antd both he and Clarendon were in favor of dismiis sing Dallas. They became convtnced that a large miajosrity of the Hoause of Cuammons would oppose the mensure, anid that pubbec opinion, in cluding that of the Coutrt, was strongly agaitist them. There is no doubt that the Queeni, ad vised by Prizace Albert and the Duke of Cam bridge, refused to sustain the di missal. I was at the House last eventing, and it was a most interesting scene, the House was crowded by members and the galleries by strangers. Lord John Ruissell spoke with great serious ness, and every body felt that it, was a most ium portant crisis itn the career of the Anglo-Saxon race. When Palmerstr'n rose t) atnnoutice the deternination of the Minietty, the silence was profound atnd the anxiety intentse. At the atn nounement that they had determined not to suspend relations with the American Minister, there was a perreet thrill of etnotion and satin faction. So close the Cabinet kept the matter. that when I arrived at Mr. Dallas's to congratu late him, he hiad not received the slightest inti mation as to his fate, and I had the very great satisfaction of announcir.g it to him and his family. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE FRESCE PRE~5 ON THE CRAMPTON DIFFI cuT.-The Paris correspondent of the Ne~w York Commercial A dertiser. writes on the 19.h ult :-The astoni-4hmenit in France on the back tiut of Etnglad wias very general. The tone of the Morning Post up to the very last, duiy had beei so firm, and even warlike that nobody in France was pre paired for the speech which Lord Ptlmerstont made ini the House Ott Monday night. The two legitimist journals of France taut the Engli~h Ministry, atnd say that there wts something more thant the cotton interest ehid tha-ir decision ; they were afraid of the Americans. The Pays, Government journal, wvhich has been so severo against, the United States in this contest, tad which has called upon the English Ministry aliost daily to stand firm, must be thunderstruck, for it bias not uttered a word on American affairs since thte Engliah Government gave way. All the rest of the French journals have confined themselves to the publication of the facts without comment. G. GADSDEN.-IL is now stated thant Gen. Gadsden wan allowed to return to Mexico at his own urgent request. and for the purpose of set tling hi4 personal affairs. He has been recalled, and will cnrry out the notice of that fiter.

We trnst there wilLbe a (nil tnrn -nout of our fellow itizens upn this occasion; and, in the name of God nd our Country, let every one come prepared to ren der some substantial aid to the Southern cause in Kanssa. Mr WILKES is a respnnihle gentleman and a high. toned representative of that gallant set of fellows who have obeyed the impnlsets of true Soutjhern hearts and have gone tn plant and todefenJl Southern institntions in an important point of the North West. To advance their ohj -et eff-ctually, he comes now before the peo. pie of Edgefield and asks of each one of them any small or large sum of money which a sense of pro priety may dictate, to sustain himself and his South ern brothers in their self-adopted task. LET US HAVE A FULL MEETING ON FRIDAY NEXT; and let not our patriotic viitor be seat away empty handed. Mr. WILKr.5 is, moreover, one of the Editors of the Leavenworth Journal, and solicits subscriptions to his paper. A list will be found at the Advertiser office, where all desirous of doing so can enter their names. We trust he will be liberally patronized. CAMP MEETING. A Camp Meeting will be he'd at Mt.

Several letters in response to our call for a dancing 'master have been received. We hope to get others yet. Those wvho have applied cannot come until fall; whereas thne school, if we-understanld the matter, BY" I-r will be seen by the following notice, from the Mercury of the 11th inst., that the funds front Edgefield for the Calhoun M1onument have been re ceived. The contribution of $65 was not however raised entirely b.y the ladles of the Village. On the contrary, we think rather the larger part came from the coun try : CALInOUN MOAIoNUENT Assoc;AT~oN.--We have received, by the hands of the Editor of the Edgefield Advertiser, S165 for the Ladies' Caltioun Monument Association, nhtch can be had by calling at our fflie.

WE hear of considerable fresliets in otir creeks and rivers from the rains of last week. Ont the Saluda side especially, it has resulted in no little devastation. Little Sailuda River, Dry Creek, Richaland and oilher streams in that section were as high as almost ever known to be. The low grounds upon them were much was.hed and a good deal of corn and cotton injured. From big Saloda we have not heard. Some of this destruction we saw ourself, happening to be on a visit out that way. There was one bottom, somewhere on the old Cambridge road, which was in some degree prevented from washing by a magnifi cent crop of grass which was coming on pcripassu with the corn. Th's is one of the ways grass occa sionally renders good service. THE ROADS. Tn: roads of Edgefield are at all times hei- worst feature ; but now they are absolutely ahominable. Would that a more complete system of working them could be set on foot ! Would that ouir Commisnioners could agree together to have the whole 12 days ntozk ed out for once ! Something of the sort must be done, or there will be no permanent improvement amongst us in this respe'ct. Will not some one take this matter in hand and discuss it through the District papersl A more im portant topic could not be selected at this time. SOUTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURIST. THE July number oft this Journal is before us, well illed with varied matter. Considering the dillicul ties incident to gettinug out of the shallows of a com-~ muencement, it is doing well; and we continue to-ask for it a liberal support. Let every farmer subscribe to and foster his own home agricultural paper. THE CROPS. There is now a fair prospect on this side of the State for a very full corn crop. In a few localities a drotih of soime severity had prevailed up to Tuesday of last week. On that day we were blessed with a general rain, in tinte to beniefit even the most sufferinig spots; aned where there was little or no suffering, the rops may be reckoned upon as fit-rate. We hear of crops about Cambridge that will average 30 bush els t the acre. Ini many other parts of thte District, the promise is unusually fine ; while thtere is a fail ue nowhere. The cotton crop is also likely to prove a good aver TROTTI AND HAY. Barnwell District has recently least two of her most herished sons in the Hon. J. W. TaovrTi and C. C. HAY, Esq. We observe very handseome tributes to heir worth and usefulness from MiEssas A. P. AL. >RaCen and W. A. OwENs of the same bar. TRoTTI and HAY were both noblemen of nature, and filled a large place in the affections of their acquamntance W. A. OwENs Esq., thius speak of them in his con cluding remarks: A striking coincidence appears in the lives of these to friends: They wsere near the same age; boys together ; friends at college'; graduated shout the saue time ; they c-ame to the bar together ; never had a moment's difference in t heir lives ; a wa-ys entertained the same plhliical vicws ; bollh becamne professors of riglen at the same time, and died in twoe clays eof each other.

It is observable that-in all licussions of American matters before the people of England, the sox populi is decidedly for the preservation of the most friendly relations between the two coitries. Every remark in their public speeches, whiclficondemnfl an approach to hostilities and upholds the policy of constant amity, is invariably greeted % ith 'hears' and ' cheers.' In te House of Commons, Mr. IIsaAELI lia recently delvered sentiments of this castwiich were received as usual with demonstrations ofapplause. The truth appears to be, that -English stitesmen are just begin ing to comprehend aright the nature of out govern ment and the power of its position, whiletonN BuLL's instincts have long ago informed him that the United States is not the country to pickfurtherquarrels with.

Fr my own pert, I look oni all that lies happened with regard toi the enlistment question, as indicative or the distrust which prevails in the United States. nd which has its origin ini the conuviction that the policy o'r this counitry is hostile to the legitimate dhe velopment of their pi wer. It isi my opimion that all that America ha. fairly a right to expect shse nmay obtain, without injury to Europe or toi England in particular, and that it is the business of a statesman to recognise thme necessity of an inicrease in her power, nd at the samie time to make her uniderstand that shte w il mst surely acpompliish all the objects she prii pies to hean-etf hy recognising those principles .uf int-ratioal law which in civilized csommnniiies have always been ut held; and ito impress upon her that, instead of vaiuntingilhat she will build her great ness on the Monroe ducirine, which is ihodoctrine oh iolat in, shte should seek to attain it by defernngi to the public law of Europe, and by alluiwing her ds tiny to hi- regnlated by the sama high prneiples of policy which all niations ghich have-great destimes to accomplish have invariably recuginised. SENSIBLE AND PATRIOTIC. It -will afford the many friends of Coll. .JonNz Cua NINiiAn, Editor of thme Evening Netts, real mntisfic ilon to know that he has manfally shaken off certain pculiar ties which have to a great degree diminished his usefulness for a year or two past, anid has taken the jensible and patriotic position of- a Southiern Bit chanan Democrat. We admire the independence wich fears not to renoune an inexpedient policy and to embrace a better and a wiser one, even though te circumstance involve some appearance of fickle ness. It will not be surpposed that this feeling has any share in the see-mitng change of position here alluded to. Cal. CUrNNINout is too well known for a sterling, bold and true man, to admit any such construction of his course. We congratulate the NNews upon this happy clearing up of its political opinions and commenid the subjoined extract from its columns to the attenion of the Democrats of the up In the present attitude of Presiidential parties and isues, and upon the asstumption that South Carolina prefers to cast a vote between the regular candidates in the field, we can see tbut one consistent enuirso for hh to pursue, anid that is to vote with thme Southern Democracy for Buchanan.

I am well acquainted with he District in point of Territory ; I believe it is arger tan any District should be at this period; d if some practical mode of division could be dopted, the probability is, it would result in gene al benefit to the citizens of the District-but to the node of division set forth in the 'Memorial, I am pposed, viz: that of a Judicial District. I often have said, and yet say, to a judicious and rquitable mode of division I Ehould not object; and hould I have the honor to be elected, and the fact hould be properly developed, that a majority of he voters of the District are in fav:,r of a certain prescribed mode of division, I should feel in duty bound to favor it. Otherwise, I should act to the ontrry. Thus I have in a brief manner expressed my views on this subject; yet reserve to myself the right of Independence-the right to do in all cases what I may think best calculated to promote the general interest of my fellow-citizens at the time of action.

TO .TOSEPH GRIFFITH, ESQ Sua: 1 address you with profounid respect, as the ,iginator of the Division movement in Edgeliel" Distrit-or its the Great alogul, or Grand Lamna, rr most invincible and 1Holy Cz.mr, of the d ivision prty. You must pardon mie fur preferring my ap peals to the very foot of the throne. With yout atraps and Prime ihinistei s, and Lord Ihigh-Chan eelors, I have nothing to do, though I admit that rour subjects are worthy to fight under a mote ooious Banner than that around which they now stand ranged. I strike at higher game than even oo very distinguished privy council. Besides, I ave a sincere regard for your character believing, is I do, that you embody much of the genius and onesty of your party. In the first place, perm it me to congratulate you, n n your attainment of high htinors, ;mdu after the apse of many years, of undvaihing rifort, or a dis intion you have so well meriited, which distinction a calculated to give you all the prominence, in the )sttrit, that your most ardent admirers could rave fur you. You shall be made President at di iion netgs. at Barbecues, and numerous as emblis of the people; and when your adjutants nay fail to be present. you shall speak to thme as ebled multitudes, with soaring eloquence, whilst eaihing the wrongs of Saluda, and the degeneracy nd treason of her sons. You can even become a .egshator, if you desire it-and the people will In sober earnest I talk to you, because I deem ou to be the most considerable personage of the livision party, proper, in the District, andI as the nan combining the most learning, wisdom,prudence, itue and honesty. You are the best qualified to ive to an argument a candid appreciation ; and the me was when you did not " look through a giass aaly," ut saw with something like the eyes of 'hhioaphy, and aeted with the spirit and judgment i.f: _..a ...ed esfle. To that philosonhy, that spirni, that judgment, and that elevated toe, I c presume to pay my respects on this occasion. Ilear me patiently, and you shall receive the truth; and spurn from you the counsel of the selfish, the interested, the treacherous, and the ignorant. Now, " Come and let us reason together." For t the last two or three years I have been an attentive observer of the agitation here, on the question of di viding the Distriet, and I am bound to reknowledge that I have notyet caught the true points of contro versy, from any thing that has been said or done by the friends of the cause. What is the practical is sue? or is there any such issue before us? There c is no doubt that many intelligent, good men, in all parts of Edgefleld, would acquiesce cheerfully in division, if they could see any practicable mode of accomplishing it. But a feasible plan they have never seen ; and none such has ever been suggest ed. A re the friends of the reform too modest to disclose theocir scheme of operation on paper, and ex plain it to the people ? or are we doomed to have a. furious, long continuct excitement, which is to re sult in nothing but failure and mischief, and disap pointment? Are you not. my friend, most abomin ably duped by your adviisers, notwithstanding all your prescience and acknowledged sagacity ? Wise men before you have been so deceived-r.nd be trayed too, by the weakest instruments aronnd them. A creature of a very feeble understandin g may sometimes possess great cunning, and tay circum vent men of the most generous qualities and high attainments. Have not some of as true children as Saleda can boast, declined to identify themselves ;vith the agi tation you are now carrying on for the benefit of a few aspirants, solely from the honest conviction and certainty, that your movement is ill-judged alto gether, in its inception and progress, and impossible of success? They have no particular objeition to your having a new District, as you desire, but they have the frankness and honor to tell you, to your face, that you cannot obtain it as you have begun to 7geek it. They dare to tell you the truth and, for that, you utterly eschew and repudiate them. Suppose .that an able, honest man should be a candidate for the Legislature, in Edgefield District, who disagreed with you, and you were to propound to him certain grave interrogatories relative to the farcical issues you have been making with the com mon sense and decency of the voters of the District. hIow would he respond ? It would be thus: "I am not convinced of the practicability, and hardly of the necessity of division, and I see no plan el proceeding. In truth, no one has seen a plan that could command the support of the citizens generally. and I could not venture to embark in an enterprise until its purposes were clearly defined, and I was - informed of the point or cud to which my exertions would tend." Any man can, exclaim "6I am for Division," and his exclaimation' means nothing, and counts nothing; for he can modify the condlitions of his adhesion to the project to suit any event that may take place ; but let the undertaking be present ed to the people in a shape to pledge its advocates or opponents one way or another, and I will assmue mny grounds. As things stand at this juncture, the Triends of division are liable to be liumbugged.' If I favor the scheme I am liable to be humbugged. Therefore, I will not pledge myself to a course of action that I do not understand, and that, I think. no otie else is certain about. When an issne is of fered I will meet it-I will not agitate without some sure ground for agitation; and I will not enlist un der a banner whose devices cannot be interprete. ,and the mupporters of which cannot define the great cause for which they are fighting. Of course, I will do my duty, as a Legislator, and present to the appropriate Body, atmy proper matter, that might be placed in my hands-but I will never suffer myself, either voluntarily or forcibly, to be made thme instrument of excitement, without an as surance that some good results ean spring faom it. motions of any friend to division, or of any of your most zealous co-adjutors. I impute no shade of dis honesty to any of you. But sincerity is often very nneh mistaken, and wholly at war with all the rules of common sense. Integrity, then, becomes a very rickety affihir, and akin to that spirit which imnpels the Indin to mass::cre the old. the infirm, women c~hildrn and all, that the world may be blessed by the total extinction of his accursed enemies. I have seen that your most accredited servants-your nmost truskd agents and advocates are, not only loud in their conde~mnation of those in the District, who dis agree with them in opinion, but they censure anid deounce the Parishes, and the gentlemen re'pre sentinag thme Pairishes in the Legislature, whilst, in :another breath, they dee'are that you cantnot sueceed in your patriotic purpose without thme aidl or coun tenance of the very bogs and fens that you wnuld sik inito perdition. Is thiat thte way to propitiate opposition and enlist support ? It seems to me, that an idiot might see through so transpatrent a piece of mockery. I call it a mockery of every thinig like good policy-and I am .sorry that a very worthy m:m can, be so deluded a., to be mamde the dupe (ifsuch unskllirul imanagemenit. It might be imiproved by a child not yet acquainted wvith the first syllables of its mother tongue. I have thus taken the l~berty to approach you with reason, beeause I think you can cotnpr. bend it. Keep cool, my friend-I must talk to you a little; but no malignant breath of mine all alake a lock of your hair, and no impudent intruder shall inter fere with our temperate, dispassionate conversation.

This time I am escor ming 80 at boltionmists thaek to Illinois. They came up tme River a few days ago well armed. The citizens of Leington getaing word of it, stopped thme Boat and took their arms and anmmuonitiona away ; they then proceeded up to Leavenworth, but the citizens woahl not allow them to land. At Weston they ordered inem back and placed a guard over them to Kansas City ; there 15 of us took charge of them andl wilt see them landed in Ill ni. They are mor.tifiedl and crest fallen. Comning up the river they wvere very daring and saucy and defied mthe Border Riufhians, but whmen they met dhem t Lexington their courage leaked out at their finger's ends and dlown came thme guns. On my way down yesterday we stopped at Lezing ton and I was presented with one of thme guns. Trho captain of the company yesterday asked me for my autograph. I asked him what lhe wanted with it, he said he only wanted it so he could say he had seen mte. I told him no body knew me at Chicago; lhe said I was 'mistaken for he had heard of me and intended to meet :ae under differeit circumstances. If lae had, I doubt much wethier he would like to haye renewed the acquaintance. Yesterday we and a boat going up with 50 more of the same stock. Our prisoners were very ar.xious to stop the boat and get thenm to go down with us. I was anxious to ado thte same; so we came along side. After some conversation they concluded to turn hack, and were abiout to come aboard, but when I notified them that their arms laid to lbe given up they refused to come aboard. One fellow attenmp ted to pass the guard, but lie drew his pistol and the fellow backed in a hurry. The guard acciden'ally ired his pistol thme ball sersped my arm but no body was hurt. They went on their way, not rejoicing, but scared to death. They will bestr pped at Waverly or Lexing ton-then, after deliverinig thevir aims will he allowed to proceed, but at Leavenwortha they will be escorted back. So we intend to treat all of them.

Mr. Donalson and Judg Ellmbre read the President's proclamation of February last, and Governor Shannon's proclamati on; and Mr. Woodeon read a note from Col. Sumper, saying that he would prevent the meeting of.the Legislature, but they were unheeded. About 800 persons were present, all .armed. On the 4th both branches of -the. Free State Legislature met, when Col. Sumner. entered the town with 200 United States dragoons and plant ed two canton at the head 'of Kansas avenue. The troops were drawn up before Constitutional Hill. Col. Sumner told. the citizens that he would not, disarm them or break up the Conven. - tion but had orders to dissolve the Legislature and would do so. Col. Sumner repaired to the Hall of Repre. sentatives and said:'- I am called upon to per form the most painful duty of my life. -Under the authority of the President, I am here tQ dis. solve the Legislature. In accordance with my orders I command you to disperse. God knows I have no party feeling in the matter, and ' will have none while I hold my present position in Kansas.
