(Sundays: oQialgpmaraw sols ia ts Wai Ment More about the “ Elifot Certificates’—Mr. Barker’s Reply to Misrepresentations. On Saturday last for the first time I was favored with the perusal of a pamphlet which has been put into circulation by the aut! oreo the Whig meet- ing which was convened at the St. Louis Exchange on the 34 J uly, 1844—professing to describe the conduct of the Inspectors of the late election, and the proceedings of the Legislature in relation to the Elliott certificates, in which pamphiet I am sorry to be compelled to say there ere some errors, also, some omissions. “What happened at any other Poll than that of the First Ward Second Municipality, I have not any knowledge, but as to what happened at that Poll 1 am not mistaken. The authors of the said pam- vat are mistaken in saying that James P. Freret, Seq. my associate inspector, adopted a separate box and received the votes after the difficulty arose about the Elliott votes, without being recognized by me, until the close of the Polls; the second box was adopted by both, and not a ballot placed in it which was not recognized by me—as well as, by Mr. Freret, at the time, and before it was put into that box. baly one ballot, (that of Mr. Keily) was placed in either box without my consent, and that was put into the origival box by Mr. Freret, betore the second box was introduced ;—this led to the compromise, after which the business of the elec- tion was conducted with all possible despatch and harmony, and not a voter remained at the poils ot- fering to vote when the hour arrived for closing; and it is not known that a single voter lost his vote by the short delay which took place. Hence, the declaration that the Whig majority was probably reduced forty or fifty by this delay, is an imaginary figure senmesopaile as their statement as to the conduet of the two Inspectors, is erroneous To have effected this majority of forty or fifty, there must have been more than one hundred and fifty good votes rejected, as the Whigs did not get two- thirds of the votes polled. pti The statement I here make, the reader will find corroborated by the proces verbal bearing the signa- tures of both Inspectors now on file in the office of the State Department—a copy of which will be found on page 37 of this book. It will be seen bya perusal of the proces verbal (page 34 to 47jof this pamphlet,) that Mr. Freret is mistaken when he says that Mr. Barker had given his opinion in writing that the Elliott vote was good ;—all that Mr. Barker urged was investigation, which was retused, and to consider them good it in due form, and not impeached. After having thus described me es one ot the of- fending Judges, the Committee go on to say: “The undersigned would only further observe, that criminal prosecutions have been instituted against the offending judges, who have beenbound over t ar before the Criminal Court, and true bills of indictment have been found against them ” _ This, so tar as relates to me, is all fiction, nor is it true that bills of indictment against those judges ea whom proceedings are pending, have been foun The committee have published in their pamphlet the penalty of the law jor disfranchising a citizen, but omitted to proclaim the penalty of the law tor interfering with the jameatens in the discharge of their ne It is to be found in the Act of Novem- ber 7, 1814, Ist Mo: Digest page 431, sec. 5, and is in the following words:— : i ‘Tf it may be made to appear to the gatiefaction of the proper court that at any election held or to be holden, under the laws of this State, any intim- idation, threats, or violence, shall have been used or practised, with design to influence unduly, or to overawe such election, or to restrain the freedom of choice; or if any officer of election shall be threatened, or violence used to his person, or be interrupted in the execution of his duty, every per- son who shall be guilty of such intimidation threat, violence or interruption, being convicte: thereof, shall be fined in a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, and be imprisoned, not exceeding three months.” —_ 4 The statement in the said pamphlet is obnoxious to another suction “Ah ene Bihe gay. “The report of the House of Representatives, respecting them, (the Elliott certificates) discloses a scene of gross neglect, fraud and corruption throughout the whole process under which they were issued, unparalleled in the history of this country.” - “ They then go on to say: ‘ “ And the Senate in their proceedings, sitting as a High Court of Impeachment under the solemnity of ap oath, after a jaborious examination of testi- mony; and hearing eloquent and able counsel on the part of Judge Elliott, adopted the following ar- (ho gf Impeachment presented by the lower ouse. In these articles of Impeachment which they set forth at length in thats pemaphlet, itis among other things stated, that 1748 certificates were unlaw- fully and corruptly caused and permitted to be is- sued between the 2d March, 1841, and the Ist Jan- uary, 1844, and which it is stated in the pamphlet, that the Senate sitting as a High Court of Impeach- ment, adopted. 1n place of which, the Court qual. fied their condemnation—saying—that the said Benjamin C. Elfiott was guilty ot the issuing of vies of the said certificates as charged, but not of all. Ten members voting in the affirmative, and four in the negative, ‘because they believed that the question could not be divided.” See page 30 of the Official Journal of this trial. And the Court turther resolved, _ “That the Senate in giving their votes upon the articles of Impeachment in this case, are not to be considered as expressing, and do not intend to ex- press an opinion as to the right of the parties pos sessing certificates of naturalization issued from Judge Elliott’s Court, to enjoy and exercise the franchise of American Citizens.” i This resolution is withheld from the pamphlet in question. P 4 Here we have evidence that Mr. Freret was mis- taken when he said (see page 34,) that the Legis- lature had impeached the Elliott certifica It will not escape notice that the charges against Judge Elliott are limited to a period subsequent to the 2d of March, 1841; and yet all the certificates issued by him for some six or eight years, during the whole course of his judgeship, are to be consi- dered a nullity, on the authority of these proceed- ings, and without regard to the rights of parties hol iding them L ¢ The aforeseid Thomas Quinn was among the number disfranchised by this act of injustice ; his certificate, (see page 41) was indue form, and as good as any certificate of naturalization granted by any court in the United States, yet he was disfran- chised by the arbitrary conduct of the Whig In- spectors, p Again, this Committee say, that ? “ Previous to the election it was publicly stated, and indeed proclaimed, that the locofoco party were determined, netwithstanding the notorious and acknowledged frauds in issuing the Elliott certificates, that these votes should be received, or they would close the voting in the Whig Wards.” _ So far as I was concerned they are mistaken, is proved by my proposition to Mr. Freret the day before the election—to examine into the validity of all the Elliott certificates which should be pre- sented, rejecting such as should appear to have been improperly granted. Also, by my report to a pub- lic meeting held the same evening, of Mr. Freret’s tefusal to agree to this proposition, and deter- Mination to reject all the Elliott certificates with- out enquiry ; with a notification to the meeting that I should not have the capacity to resist any such an act of power; and again, my. proposition to leave the questions which might arise to the Whig Judge from whom we derived our appointment; and finally, re} letter written to that Judge on the morning of the election, and before it began. inti- ane, my wish for another to be appointed ingfmy place. ‘i Can there be stronger evidence that I was not obnoxious to the charge this Committee have thought proper to make against all the Democratic Inspectors on the authority of public rumor? As to the supposition that the Elliott voters were hired te go to the polls to interrupt the election— the Committee rely on their own imagination,with- cut having adduced a particle of proct, and no circumstance has come to my knowledge to war- rant the supposition, that any such criminal con- duct took place! aie However probable that men willing to make so grave and feartul a charge against others without the slightest proof, would not balk at committing such acts themselves—I will not return the compli- ment by accusing them of having sent a man to the polls with one of the corrupt Elliott certificates, and what they call a forged receipt to interrupt the election, in the hope of benefit from the moral in- fluence of leading the public to believe the Demo- crats had done the vile deed. It is not my province to remark on the other part of the statements put forth in the said pamphlet further than to say, that—the reader of every par- he will be much less likely to afford it his full cre- lence than he would have been—had not the er- rors and omission | have pointed out been permit- ted to escape the notice of this Committee before they gave their signatures to the public, he Whi igs pretend that their intention was to recommend only such foreigners, for naturaliza- tion as could furnish legal roof of the reqai- sites for citizenship :—if this be so, let them tell the note of the Secre- us what is meant b of the Se to Mr. Gaiennié written of the Clay Club « in French, and published in that_language on page 39 of the official Journal of Elliott’s trial—and also on page 8 of this book—the translation of which reads thus :— \ “Mr. L, U. Gaienné ‘*A Mr. Martin and his son have returned from Lafayette, without having been naturalized, indi Elliott requiring their witnesses; when you told Mr. Martinit was not necessary. Shall I tell these persons to provide themselves with witnesses.” “* Your ob’t servant,” Cuar.es GugNet. The Whigs threaten if they get into power that they will repeal all the naturalization laws; if they should do this—such repeal could not spoly to those who shall have had recorded, a declaration to become citizens—as the declaration would se- cure a vested right. Hence it behoves every per- son now in the United States who was bornin a foreign land, as also all those who shall hereafter arrive in the United States, tofmake the declara- tion before a Court of competent jurisdiction with- out the least delay. ‘ACOB BARKER. Tue Yacur Squapron.—The harbor of this fashionable watering place (Newport, R. 1.), has been enlivened, for the last few days, by the appearance of the yacht squadron ot New York, and the crack suil- dng craft of Boston. The admirers of boat railing in New York, with a view to the better encouragement of build- ers aad other artists, have organized themse.ves into a Club, and elected John C Stevens, Eaq., of New York, ae their Commodore. As far as I can learn, the squadron how consists of the following boats:— Gimerack, Stevens, owner, 24 tons, schooner. Gygnet, ei ipa , 45 i , itkes, Mist” be we « “ Dream, 8cl a tf La Coquille, Jay, 26 - Minna, Waterbury, tt Petrel, i “ Bes% sloop. Rollins, In addition to these, there have been here, at different times, the Belle, schooner, 78 tons, formerly a pilot boat of Boston, chartered by Mr. Forbes, of Boston, with a party of his friends—the Northern Light, Colonel Win- chester, 70 tons—and the Lancet, 22 tons, Mr. Swett— , two sloops, used as freighting vessels on the North River and vicinity of New York, one of which was chartered by some gentlemen of that city. It had been announced in the newspapers, that a Regatta, for all Yachts, was to come off at Newport, ona given day—but no arrangement of the kind had been made In fact, it was an experimental trial of the qualities of the various boats of the New York Squadron, most of which were on their firat criise. Various trials of speed had taken place, between the vessels of the squadron, on their cruise from New York, and with them and the Belle, be- fore my arrival at this place—and, as the reports of their resulta are so various and so contradictory, | 1efer you to the Newport papers for the accounts of the same. The Yachts from New York are fine looking beats—and their models essentially different from anything seenon your side of Cape Cod. Some of them have centre s—a machine which, in my Jud ent, entirely alters the char- acter of the vessel, which should not be tolerated in any boat that pretends to sail in blue water. The boat of the Commodore, the Gimcrack, is well titled to her name. It wouldbe idle for me,in the limits of a single letter, to describe he uliarities, and contrivances, to enable her to go ahead—and, inasmuch as it is probable that her highly scientific and liberal owner will abandon these notions, and build for himself a vessel according to legitimate rules, sieptod to the high position to which he has been unanimously chosen, I pass {all her oddities by. The hendsomest boat in the squadron, to the sailor’s eye, and the admitted fastest boat, jn the C; eet Her rig is thut of our Boston boats, but her model is entirely differ- ent. In interior arrangements, the New York boats are entirely er. from ours. ile ein | carry so many—but the erst take have the comforts of shote lite with ‘the excite- ment of the sea. We commend their interior to the careful scrutiny of our builders and their employers. As [ have before mentioned, the boats had various trials of speed, before the arrival of the Northern Light. This splendid recMty so well known to all the amateurs of your city, arrived at Newport on Thursday night, after a pas- sage of filty three hours—fourteen of which were passed at anchor, between Sandy Point and Nontucket pm in a dense fog. Theresto{ the time she had light and head winds and tides. On Friday morning the wind blew from South and Southwest. Col. Winchester ordered his boat uniler weigh at 11 o’clock, and ex; sed his desire to ti the speed of his yacht with thal of any vessel of the squad- ren, or the sloop, which I mentioned before. The wind, however, was too much, in the estimation of the gentle men, for any of them to venture out—aud the Light, there- fore, stood out alone. He put on her three galls, passed Beaver Tail Light, close hauled, stood some eight or nine milesto windward and returned, sailed twice across Newport harbor, and came to anchor. On Saturday the wind was from atout the same point, but net so fresh—and atthe invitation of the owners of the Cygnet, the Light and Cygnet stood out, in order to try their powers. It reed by the respective owners of the boats, that the trial should commence at Beaver Tail Light, thence dead to windward. The Cyguet stood ovt sometwenty minutes ahead, under ber jib and mi he Light, following. Two miles to the leeward of Beaver Tail Light the North- ern Light set her foresail and stood for the Cygnet, which boat had come to under her three sails The Northern Light passed tinder the stern of the Cygnet and came to, taking a leeward position — abreast of the Cygnet, and about twenty-five yards distant—time 2 o'clock 90 minutes. The Cygnet away immediately, which movement was followed by the Northern Light, and both boats stood out with the larboard tacks aboard. The wind moderate, with some sea. After standing on this tack for about a mile, the Northern Light tacked, leaving the Cygnet to leeward, and astern some distance. At 18 minutes past three, the Northern Light hauled her jib sheet to windward, at which time the Cygnet was to lee- ward and astern. At 28 minutes past 3, the bf nw was abreast of the Northern Light. It will be seen, therefore, that ina race of 48 minutes, while hoth boats stood on their course, the Northern Light had beaten the Cygnet ten minutes. The time allowed in the English yacht races, by the largest to the smallest boat, is a minute a ton, in a race of fifty miles. It will be seen that the Light beat the Cygnet even more than the difference to he al- lowed for her tonnage. That the Northern Light would beat the Cygnet, was expected by those who knew the capacity of the former boat—bi that the difference in their performances should be #0 it, was unexpected by all; especially by the gen- lemanly proprietors of the Cygnet, who had, in ir contest with the Belle, fair reason to believe them- es equal, at least, to that boat, which was said to be superior to the Northern Light in all situations—a matter, however, which is somewhat doubtful, as the Belle and the Northern Light have never hada trial of speed with each other. The zeal and interest manifested ig the members of the New York squadron, give Tg Opes that their Club will increase in numbers, and be worthy of the great commercial city to which it belongs. | think, from what I observed, that the members ef the squadron will not, however, be satisfied with the present size of their boats—and that another year will show our Boston amateurs craft of a tonnage that may fairly expect to try the fastest of our boats, in all weathers.—Newport Letter to Boston, Aug. 12.

Great Excitement in the Mormon Country: (Correspondence of the Herald.) Waxsaw, Illinois, July 31. James G. Bennett, Esq Sir— What in the name of heaven are we all coming to? The people in this section are much excited against the Mormons—they are urged on by a few notorious blacklegs. A fellow by the name of Thomas J. Perkins once sold a farm to an English Mormon, and received his pay in sovereigns from the Mormon, and is trying to stir up the people againat the Mormens that he may get possession of the property again without paying for it. Another, by the name of Weir, who ran away from Indiana some eighteen months since, and has been making every attempt to get up an excitement against them. If rigid measures are not taken to suppress these villains, there will be bloodshed—such as has never been knowa in America, in this section of the country—for it appears that the great aim is to rob, and drive them away out of the country. There is no doubt of there being bad men among the Mormons, but that is no reason innocent men should be driven from their hemes, which they have honestly paid for. Indeed, everything is in an unsettled state, and great excitement. Can’t the United States Government do something, and put a stop to these things?

Cass and Old Hickory—Democratic Display at t.amilton— Equestrian Exercise—A Pathetic Story of the Heart. Dear Sir :— T am now in the queen city, the seat of the wes- tern empire. It is indeed a beautiful city, but the streets are ia a worse state than the streets of any other city in this country, or in any other within my knowledge. They are paved with lime stone, and so numerous are the excavations made by car- riages passing over them, that it is almost impossi- ble to move faster thana walk, For the last two miles of our journey to this city, we moved along with a slow hearse like pace. The driver in- formed me that they never could drive through the city faster thana walk But we had a very lively company of passengers on board; General Cass and Senator Norvall of Michigan, were among the pas- sengers. General Cass on his way from Columbus to this place, stopped a few hours at Hamilton, and addressed a large enthusiastic meeting of the de- mocracy. He is on his wer to Tennessee, to pay his respects to the hero of New Orleans—‘‘to see the old general once more before he dies.”— He was not expected to be at Hamilton. We arrived there about twelve o’clock on Tuesday last; an immense procession had been formed, and were moving on with their cheering music and floating banuers. Soon after we arrived, Iinformed one of the Marshals of the day that General Cass had just arrived. Jn five minutes the word was passed along the line for two miles; each division Biving nine cheers for the de- fender of our country’s glo! The multitude as- sembled on the green near the Court house, and a young man, whom we did not know, introdueed the General to the crowd, and made some very ap- propriate remark respecting the character and ser- vices of him who was about to address them. The General arose, and the multitude gave three times three hearty cheers. He then addressed the au- dience for more than hour. It was one of the finest efforts I have heard for along time. I was stand- ing near him during the whole of his speech, and I have seldom seen an audience more delighted. Mr. Todd, the candidate for Governor, followed Gen. Cass in a very enthusiastic speech of one hour and a half. Several others were to speak when we left. General Cass and Senator Norvall addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting in this city on Thursday evening. Both parties are awake in this part of the country. You may rely upon it there will be a hard fought battle here this fall Both parties are confident of success. 5 Riding on horseback seems to be a favorite musement for the young people here. I resolved fast evening to take a ride into the country at an early hour this yeaa and accordingly ordered a carriage to be ready at half-past four. We were ready at the hour appointed, and took our course in a north-west direction, over the hor- rid pavements of the city. After riding about two miles, we found one of the finest roads in the country.@) We rode leisurely along, turning our eyes in every direction, as is usual when travelling a road for the first time. When we were about three miles fromjthe city,we saw,a mile behind us. six gentlemen and ladies, with their horses in full run. Ina few minutes they came up and shot by us with a speed that almost made me shudder. The lady that led the race was seated on a large black horse, apparently well trained to the course. She sat with as much composure, at the speed of a mile in three minutes, as_ if she had been seated on the sofa in her parlor. Her lover (as we sup- pose) was close at her side, but two or three feet in the rear. The other four were close in the This exceeded any thing I have ever seen in F land. Such rapid riding must be attended witha great deal of danger. young lady, afew months ago, in this place, was thrown from her horse, and killed instantly. She was to have been married on the day she was buried. , EA An almost runaway marriage came ofl in this hee a few days ago. A young man formerly from lew York, had jsecured the ‘affections of a beauti- ful young heiress of this place. She was an only daughter—the idol of her parents. They objected to the match, and determined, if possible, to pre- vent it. They coaxed, and hired, and promised; and when they found that would not do, they threatened. Still she declared she loved the young man, and would marry him. They told her then she should leave their house, and that they would disinherit her. She wasunder the age of eighteen, and could not be married without the consent ol parents. This legal provision they attempted to avoid. The young lady left the house of her fa- ther, and in one hour was on her way with her lover to another State. On. La 8 there they found the same legal prohibitions. ey returned to this city incog, went on bogrd one ef the steam boats, pr § were about to leave to fly to some more congenial spot, where hymen’s gentle cord could be entwined “without a why or wherefore.” They were discovered, and were sent to the father, who came with an officer to arrest his daughter. The matter soon became noised abroad, and thousands gathered around the boat to see the sport. They had agreed to tell her father i ng were discovered, that they were married. This worked well. —When the father came on board the boat with the officer, attended by several friends, the ‘oung lady stepped forward, took her father by the hand. kissed Rie affectionately, then turning to her lover, said, ‘ father, this is my husband.” The father made no reply, but as he looked upon the young man, then lurked upon his lip the curl of in- dignation. “Father, I love him,” she continued ; “T will live with him, or die for him if necessary; he is my equal in every respect, and more dear to me than all the world besides. [love you—I love my dear mother—I should be glad to inherit aoe wealth—but 1 cheerfully resign all for him, Tam willing to forsake you for ever for him, and not only would I leave a father, but even a mother, and houses and lands for him. Besides his, all friendship is cold, and without his presence this world is as dreary as the tomb. Father, do you wish to make your daughter happy, v “Most sure- ly I do,” said the father. ‘* Then, the daugh- “recognize this young man as your son the lawful husband of your daughter, and I happy.” The tears began to flow copiously from the eyes of the father, as he held his daughter’s hand and Jistened tother burning el quence ay daughter,” said the father, “I sup- pose it is too late now for me to object. Take the young man with you to our carriage, which stands on the shore, and go to our house I shall be there in a few minutes, and we will try to settle the whole matter.” st surely,” said the daughter, and taking the arm of her lover, she was hande into the carriage, and soon drove off tothe splendid maasion of Ju The consent of the parents was obtained—a license procured—the clergyman sent for, and the marriage, as the father thought, re-solemnized. The young married couple are now enjoying the sweets of the honey-moon—caressed by friends, and almost envied by all their ac- quaintances. Yours, in haste, C. Liexum.

N. O. Pic., Aug. 7.1 ic. Price Two Cents, Belchertown, Mass. (Correspondence of the Herald.) BgLcnertown, Mass., August 12th, 1844, Education and Morals in New England—New Haven and Springfield Convention, Since I left New York, now two weeks, | have wandered over a goodly part of Connecticut, and am thus far in the interior of the old Bay State. The inhabitants of this section of country, you are well aware, have ever been celebrated for their piety and good morals; and if we find here, at times, individuals debased and blackened with crimes, they are but exceptions to a general rule, and tend to give a brighter and clearer hue to the Temainder. The people, too, are remarkably well informed—their excellent school system having done more here to elevate the masses, thon in any other county on the face of the globe. Even the children who have scarcely entered their teens will keep up as regular and connected a conversation on general subjects as many grey-headed men, who arrogate to themselves much learning. Even the little prattling children are possessed of a quickness and sagacity, a kind of innate knowledge of things which is truly astonishing. This is not confined to that class either, who are ever striving to foice knowles upon their offspring prematurely, but those children which are allowed to ‘come up” as contradistinguished to be “brought up,” (i.e.) those growing up without any particular care or atten- tion, or possessed of the same pa and quick wittedness, or as it might be called “mother wit.” The philosophy of this! do not understand, and willingly leave it to wiser heads to account for. Of the beautiful and quiet city of New Haven, your readers want no information. Its beautiful green and peaceful walks, overhung and shaded b the wide spreading elms, forming, as they prise forth their lengthened and fibrous arms, a gothic arch, of most elaborate workmanship, surpassing in beauty, grandness and extent, the triumphal arches of old Rome, erected to do homage to her Cwsars. A fit place, indeed, for the temple oi learning, is this city of elms, and the solemn and quiet grandeur with which these majestic forest trees bend and bow, and I suppose whisper and hold convers- with each other, seem to impart a kind of fearful solemnity to the inhabitants; fur in- stead of seeking these pleasant walks and agree- able shade, or inhaling the cool and reireshing breeze of evening, as the bright and silvery moon peeping through the green foliage, stops to catch the sound of lovers’ voices, smiling, hides itself ain behind some fleeting cloud. I say, instead of all this, these walks are deserted—nothing enjoys this delightful shade but the green grass bencath, and the bright moon has nothing to smile upon but towering spires and college walls. Alas! that all life and animation should be driven from the bo- soms of those inhabiting such a beautiful place. The railroad rout trom New Haven to Hartford is a very agreeable one,though the land, much of the distance, is poor and stenle. Hartford has more the appearance of business than New Haven, and here, too, in order to rival Yale, is situated Wash. ington College, the grounds of which to me, are far mere beautiful and appropriate than those about the elder temple. Beside the new Wadsworth Atheneum, a noble structure, there are many iuings worthy of note, but I willleave them fora fu- ture letter.

Daniel Web- ster addressed the convention in one of his heavy, loagy, dull speeches, which elicited no feeling or enthusiasm, In fact, it wasa dull, insipid aflair, and which no one, except the hotel-keepers and the loco-focos, appeared satistied with.

Cunious Procerpines at THE Buriat ov Corse, tue Rensse.arr “ Inptan.”’—A correspondent of the Albany Auas, writing from East Nassau, Aug. 12, gives an account of the funeral of young Corse, a journeyman shoemaker disguised as an Indian, who was killed by a fall from his horse during the late conference of Gov. Bouck with the tenants of the young Patroon. He says: “the time desig- nated for the ceremony was less than twenty-four hours after the fatal termination of the accident; yet on — at the church a little before two, 1 found a very lai number of men, women and children, who had come from all paris of the sur- rounding country. Conspicuous among them was the celebrated Indian force They were on he back, riding twoand two, in costume and masked; and at a little distance, made a strange and some- what formidable appesrange- The chiets, of whom there were four or five, rode in advance, and were distinguished from the simple warriors by a greater profusion of red, blue and bak stripes, and bits of cloth sewed upon their calico dresses. I counted Matera? six in number—rank and file; and os this was a day of parade, this is probably their whole number. They escorted the corpse, and between two of the chiefs rode one of the minis- ters who was to officiate. The musicians were in another waggon, with two bass drums, a bugle and other instruments, By this time, there were about two thousand five hundred people on the ground. .‘* The band rode up to the green where the ser- vices were to he performed. Fhe war Chief gave the order to_ Led ie ‘Let some ot the white men tie your horses.’ Upon hearing this or- der, many of the spectators seized the horses with greatalacrity. The corpse was p'aced on a bier, in the centre of the green. The fodiens formed a circle around it, and the relatives of the deceased were admitted into the centre. The two official clergymen mounted a wagon, from which the horses hud been detached, and the chief directed the spectators to keep silent, and requested the ministers to begin. heir remarks were in gene- ral appropriate. One of them called the Indians “an association, contending for liber‘y and free- men”—pbut afterwards seemed to think better of it, and towards the close addressed them particu- larly—saying, that it was not for a man in his sta- tion to express an opinion as to the correctness of their proceedings, but he hoped the death of their companion would teach them a lesson of caution— caution in all their deliberations and in all their ac- tio’ ‘ All that wished having gazed upon the de- ceased, the band formed into a procession, preced- ed by music as before, and took its way towards the burying ground, “They formed a circle around the grave, and the deceased warrior being deposited, one of the chiefs designated as ‘ the Prophet of the inbe,’ ad- dressed the Bennie. He entered into an explana- tion of the object of the association. They were contending for the freedom of which a usurper bad deprived them. They were not contending against the usurper himeelf, bnt against the wrong, and re- sistance to that wrong had grown into a principle, and a4 long as that principle existed, they would never lay down the steel and the gun. ‘They were not contending for their own rights merely, but for the benefit of ped neighbors also; that they were blood connections of many who stood around them, and he assured their white brethren that | although they were obliged to darken their faces, they had hearts like their white brethren. “After giving way for a brother, who attempted a epeech and failed, he announced that a monu- ment would be erected over the grave ot the de- ceased, and that the chiefs would receive contri- butions for the purpose from the tribes “The impression left on ar mind, from what I saw and heard, is that nearly the whole of that country approves of the resistance which iv offered to the service ot Mr. Van Rensselaer’s papers, and a feeling of confidence has been infused in the ranks of the insurgents by the fact that Governor Bouck has met to negotiate with them on their own ground.” Arremrt To Murper.—A case of an attempt to murder, was brought before his honor {aon the facts of which were substantially as follows :—the overseer of Mosby's factory, Mr. James P. Ford, on the Basin, ‘indertook to chastive black man named Albert, the property of Mrs. Maria Anderson, 0! Hanover, for some gross negligence of duty. ‘The negro res.sted, and threw a block at Mr. Ford with great violence, which he fortunately avoided and then closed with the negro, to secure him. The negro then drew a knife, with a blade tut twelve inches in;length,"and stabbed Mr Ford; but it chanced, most happ lly, the knife struck a rib and lanced—otherwise the thrust would suey have been fatal. Mr. Ford retreated, and was followed and again stabbed by the villain, inflicting a deep but not dangerous wound, about three inches long. He then fled, but was subsequently arrested by the police. After a hearing of the case, Albert was remanded for trial by the Husting's Court.— Richmond Star, Aug. 14.
