We annex one or two: (From the Athens, Ohio, Atheneum, Sept. 12.) We learn verbally, as well ag by the letter of our cor- respondent, found below, that thé most intense ex ci ; t The particular causes which have given rise to these lawless proceedings (for | we cancali them by no miider name) are suiticiently portrayed by our correspondent :— Loaax, Sept. 9th, 1845.—The greatest excitement has revailed in our town for the last twodays. Our county a8 been infested for the last six or eight years by a luw- Jess band of horse-thieves, ceunterfeiters, &c., who made Green township, in the enstern part of the county, their grand councils. — Ajania Matheny, the leader of this banditti, became so bold aud impudent that he walked our streets like a lord, armed with a butchar-knife some 12 or 14 inches in length, together with firearms, threatening those who dared to speak disrespectful of his profession, with immediate destruction. On Monday morning this Matheny came into town, walked up to one of our citi- zens standing in the door of the post office, and whom he had previously threatened with death, placing ono hand upon the handle of the butcher-k ife, very impudently accosted him with, good morning Mr. Nelson.” Mr. Nelson expecting Matheny to assassinate him, instant! returned the salutation with a blow across the arm,which disabled him from using his knife. Matheny ran into the post office, but was followed close, and the blows repeat- ed with a heavy cane, until he attempted an escape trom them by his speed in runuing ; he wae overtaken in the mide of the street, felled to the ground and severely beaten. It is thought, however, that be will recover.— ‘The work was then begun—a meeting of the citizens was immediately called, at which spirited resolutions were passed, to rid our county of said Matheny and his accom- plices, who are not fewinnumber. A committee was ap- jointed to wait on all those persons ruspected of harbor- or being connected in any manner with ny, and give them so many days to settle th and leave the county. This committee discharg: duty with fidelity and to the general satisfaction of the citizens. They gave Matheny till to-morrow at? o’clk, some 24 hours, to make his departure, The buildings of some have been laid low as a certain indication of what we mea: [From the St, Louis Republican, Sent. 16] We gave yesterday an account of a fresh outbreak among the Mormons and Anti-Mormons in Illinois, and to-day have to add the follo. ing, dated Quincy, Adams county, Illinois, Sept. 14. “We write in haste to inform you of a serious dis- turbance that has taken place in the upper part of this couaty, between a portion of the “ old citizens” of this and Hancock county, and the Mormons. A gentleman belonging to the city, returned from Lima, in the vicini- ty ott e outbreak, last evening, and informs us that on hursday last the anti-Mormons attacked a settlement known by the name of ‘ Morley’s Settlement,” a short distance north-east of Lima, in this county, and that up to the time he leit, twenty-five or thirty houses had been burnt, together with several barns and wheat stacks The excitement was very great, and large bodies of anti- Mormons were pouring’ in from the adjoining counties and from Missouri, and they were still burning and de- stroying property, and were determined to drive the Mormons out of the county. Our informant saw about fifty Mormons under arms within two miles from the set- tlement,who appeared determined to defend themselves. It was in contemplation by the anti-Mormons to attack two more settlements last evening.” In addition to what is stated in the above letter, we learn by the Die Vernon, that a gentleman who had visit- edthe camp of the anti-Mormons, near Lima, estimated them to be about 300 strong. He was also at the camp of the Mormons, and found them to number about 100. After leaving the camps, he returned to Warsaw, where he remained some time, and learned that the Mormons had all moved into Nauvoo, and that Backenstos, the Mermon Sheriff, had ordered out the Legion, to arrest those who had commenced these disorders. Ifthis re- port should be true, and the Legion turns out, aconflict is inevitable. A letter to Messrs. Mathews and Patch, of this city, on Saturday evening, from Warsaw, says that business was suspended on account of the difficulties with the Mormons, and that several houses had been burned, and lives lost. {From the St. Louis Republican, Sept. 17.] We have already given to our readers such informa- tion from the seat of civil war and commotion in Adams and Hancock counties, Illinois, as we have been able to obtain. A long letter in the Quincy Jaily Courier of Monday last, confirms all that has been published in re- gard te the pretended origin of the difficulties— the firing upon a meeting of anti-Mormons, near Lima, assembled to consult upon measures to protect their property from the depredations of the Mormons. ‘That such an attack was made, without injury to any one, is admitted to be true, but, while the Anti-Mormen party charge it upon the latter allege that it was a trick of the former, to secure a pretext for the depredations which they are now making. The meeting, at all events broke up ina hurry, escaping out of the doors and windows, and some of them leaving their hata behind them. On Wednesday and ‘Thursday, after brief warning to the oc cupants, the burning of the dwell of the Mor- mons commenced. On Friday, o' 4 were fired In the course of thet day, a committee of Mormons, with a tlag of truce, entered Lima, to treat with their enemies. Saptain Newton volunteered to introduce them to some citizens of Hancock county, and did so, They met in couucil—Kdson Whitney, Joel Catlin and Samuel Flem- ing, representing the anti-Mormons, informing them at the same time that they were not authorized by the pub- | lic to do any thing, but acted on their own responsibility. They were ready, however, to receive any proposition tending to allay the excitement. The follow proposition was then submitted : Apams County, Sept. 12, 1845. “ We, the undersigned, a Committee appointed by the | ‘and Hancock settlements, (a branch of the Mor- | Morle; mon church.) Whereas, as there is seeming to be some difficulty between said body and the Anti-Mormons, we, as representatrves of said body, wish to make some pro- positions so as to make peace. We wish to sell our deeded lands as well also as our improvements, as low as it could be reasonably expected—reserving to ouselves the crops now on the pretwises—and will take in ex- change, working cattle, beef cattle, cows, sheep, norses, tore goods,and any available property, and give possession as soon as our crops can be taken off, and receive the pay for the same, the whole of which may be purchased from the undersigned, acting as Com- mittee, orfrom the respective owners Daniel Tyler, Ho- race 8. Rawson, Marcellus McKown, Samuel Alger.” Mr. Whitney remarked to the committee that he be- lieved their proposition would be unsatistactory in one particular : that if he had to buy out a bad neighbor to get rid of him, he would like to know what distance he wonld removefrom him. The committee replied they would not agree to leave Hancock, nor would they say in what part of that county they would again settle. it 1s useless perhaps to add that the interview amounted to nothing ; and the work of destruction commenced again tiatevening. On (to-day) Saturday several more build- ings were burned. In passing ulong a roud about three quarters of a mile distant, about 3 o'clock, | saw the smoke and flames of two rising upon the air. On ar- riving at Lima | ascertained the buildings were situated abouta mile aud a half from that place. Many men were collected in groups in the streets, and the doors and windows of the houses were filled with women and chtl- dren looking in silent despair upon the work of the de- stroying element. Where the work of destruction will stop, God only knows. ‘The feeling is deep and intense, and the excitement continually spreading. Up to Friday morning, a near as I could ascertain, twenty-three buildings were burned. Duriog last night and to-day the number is probably swelled to thirty, or perhaps more. The party engaged in the work go undisguised, in broad day bght, ana apply the torch. So far no one has been injured, nor has any property, | was told, been destroyed but the houses, except by accident. Sparks from some of the buildings tell upon a few grain stacks, which igni- ted, and were consumed. ‘The party which first commenced the work of destruc- tion did not amount to more than twenty or thirty. What tue number is now cannot be ascertamed. ‘The Anti- Siormons, not engaged in the burning, are collecting and preparing to act upon the defensive. 1 understood a eeting of antiMormons was to be held at Carthage to- day. What it will amount to e will determine. The ped ubout three miles from where the scene of destruction first commenced. Their number on Friday was variously estimuted, from one to three hun- dred, but an hour's time may greatly swell their rauks. Both parties are well armed, and all the anti-Mormons with whom I conversed, expressed the belief that the work of destruction could not be stayed until the Mor- mons were driven into Nauvoo. Time will either con- firm or negative this belief. _ Our accounts by the last boats are brought down to Sunday night.

The murderers of Steele, and their misgui/ed and guilty as- sociates, will be brought to justice. The powerful arm of the law has at length been extended to protect the | rights of the unoffending, maintain its own dignity, and bring the guilty to punishment. A melancholy but cu- rious state of things is here presented. The County of Deluware declared by the Governor, in an official and solemn proclamation, to be in a state of insurrection—300 | State troops within its borders—the jails overflowing with its ciuzens, nearly one hundred of whom have been already indicted for murder, while their homes are left unprotected, their wives and children unprovided for, their crops uncut—misery, want, care and terror, brooding like a bird of evil omen on the threshold of their dwellings. Within these, the wife and mother sits mourning and wailing —her children gather around her, but she will not be comforted. the husband whom she leved, the son whom she held dear as her own life, are incarcerated within the gloom y walls of a felon’s cell, waiting trial for the vilest of crimes. Has she not drained the cup of bitterness to its very dregs? No hope is left her, but in Him who " feed- eth'the ravens”—the partner of her loves and sorrows isjgone, perhaps, for ever, and all that remains is misery Aud him—the man who brought this wretchedness upon his wife, and made his county the abode of anarchy, confusion and murder, does he not merit the fate which the law provides? In open day, disguised in a most hideous costume, with weapons of death in their hands, and minds imbued with the spirit of a fiend, hunareds of infuriated men have marched forth in batallions, and re- sisted the officers of justice inthe exeeution of their duty, fired the dwellings of their landiords and neigh- bors’ held the whole couaty in dismay—and at length, in mere wantonness, put to death an innocent and har less individual. ‘“ And all for nothing.” For the grati- fication of eval passions and base desires, tho offspring of cupidity, meanness, and avarice. For many of these meu were rich in this world’s goods—worth $12,000, the profits of their leased farms. ‘Lhe causes which produced this great anti-rent move- ment, have been so frequently dwelt upon—so clearly and faithfully pointed out in the editorial colums of the Herald—that it would be idle to attempt a further ex- planation. No other explanation can be given; and the of the Herald are, therefore, becoming the settled ns of all thinking and reasonable men in this quar- The “elements of fanaticism, of disorganization, of wild any dreamy speculation,” have, indeed, been’ at work, &nd anti-Rontism is the offspring. Designing knaves and brawling crazy enthusiasts, Bers yniligstie press an instrument for corrupting the minds of the masses, by appeoling to their lowest and most brutal passions. Demagogues from all directions, have loudly proclaimed dogmas and creeds which tend towards a complete and entire derangement of the social sy: they have visited these disaffected counties—disaflected in Consequence of reading the doctrines of the new school of politi enthusiasts und visionuries—and after making inflammatory appeels to the passions and prejudi- ces of the inhobitants, roused them to action while thus goaded to madness by'a sense of imaginary evils. Upon these men rests the greatest sin--upon their heads a portion of the just vengeance of an enlighteved, but out raged community, should fall, Even the misguided men now in custody, curse the anti-rent lecturers, and the papers tit have so wickedly misled them. But they must also bear the punishment which theirown acts have rendered necessery to the continued safety of the community. ‘The war is not over and wil! not be while the spi discord and disorganization blooms and flourishe: rank growth must be stopped—the serpente head must be crushed ere its venomous fangs have spread destraction around. Anti-rentism is not dead—the arrest of the prin- cipal ‘‘chiefs” and the sof their craft, has struck terror into the souls of many insurrectionists, but there are enthusiasts enough among them, who, though now | silent, are but waiting an opportunity to arguse the de mon of misrule and again spread terror and dismay among this once happy people. ‘The green and beautiful valleys, homes and happiness of joy—the giant talls, tan- gled wilds and rockyglens—abodes of solitude and peace, may again echo and re-esho to the tramp of armed men and the shrill war whoop of “ Indians.” Their swarthy and hideous forms be seen gliding through the forest wih stealthy tread and malign aspect. Murder, rapine, ar son and all the horrors which follow the footsteps of an infuriated, ignorant and excited multitude, who have thrown off the shackles of law and freed them- selves from the common bonds which hold society to- gether, may sgain reign triumphant. ‘The hearth of the husbandman made desolate, the torch of insurrection blaze throughout the towns now apparently quiescent Unless the Grand Jury now empannelled, and the Petit Juries who are to try the causes at this Oyer and Termi- ner, do their duty boldly and fearlossly, this state of things will surely ensue, But the Grand Inquest have listened to the able and judicious charge of Judge Par- ker, and will do their duty. Let the Petit Jury attend to theirs. A rumorhas reached here that Scudder, the principal chief at the Earle sale, has been arrested in Stueben county, but it is net believed to be true. RLEVEN O'CLOCK—TUESDAY KVENING, In corroboration of the truth of the above views | have to :state, that one of the piquet guard, named Wm. Claghorn, about half a mile up the river, was shot at by some persons in ambush to-night. The ball passed through the lappel of his coat and horse’s mane. A possee of nearly 100 men are out in pursuit of the villains. Great excitement exists in the town. INTERESTING Sratistics.—The population of the town of Fishkill 18 10,651.

Morr Cricxerina.—The entertainment given to the Cricketers at Russel’s tavern on Wednesday evening. after the great contest between the men of Sheffield and the Star Club of Brooklyn, led to the making of various ches, for considerable sums of money, between the most prominent players of both ies. The first of these new engagements came off yesterday at number of persons were on th ground. The match that excited the most loterest one of single wicket between Hine, E. buckle, J. Buckley, and Southern onone Nai '. Dent, Pidcock, Berry, and C. Smith on the other side, They were to play two Janine euch, with a con- ion that if both could not be con luded before * sun- down,” the first should decide the wager. Hine, the hero of the Star Club, got sixteen runs for his party, ond his colleagues did not make a single score. Nash’s sido made only nine runs, and the second innings not being finished when time was up, the Brook ym men,of course, | won, The next match to be playec is one of single wicket between David Price and T. Dent on one side, | against Messrs. Hine and Julien. Weare not informed when it will come off. An offer was made by a gentle- man or the ground to back the great gun of tho Star Club, against Mr. William Russell, one of the most cele- brated players in the Usited States, for a large amount of money ; and a friend of the latter agreed to take up the challenge, in the event of Mr. Russell’s accept- ing it. ‘, ‘Another offer was made by a well-known sporting gentleman to back the Star Club of Brooklyn to play the entire strength of the New York Club. It remains ta be seen whether the New Yorkers will venture to Seay ee neighbors across the river on the terms pro- posed. By way of varying the sport, and adding to the enter- tainment of the many spectators pre several foot races were got up, in which first-rate speed was shown by some of the competitors.

Styrole has been discovered to be one of the | most remarkable of substances.

It is a volatile oil ob- | tained by distilling the balsam, styrax, or storax, al- though in small quantities. In distilling storax to obtain | this liquid, twenty parts of storax are mixed with seven | parts of carbonate of soda, and water put in the retort. | Forty one pounds of balsam have yielded 12 ounces of | styrole. | It is said that the fresher and softer the storax tho more productive it is.

The canal is scant 2} miles long, has four or five | locks of 185 feet in length by 50 feet wide, and will pass | steamboats of over 600 tons burthern. ‘I'he tolls are pro- bably more exorbitant than upon any canal in this coun- try, they being atsessed not upon the amount of cargo cartied through by @ vessel, but upon the tonnage of the vessels as shown by her register. Thus a light steam- boat pays just as much as one having on board a full car- go. ‘The rato of toll is 40 cents per ton—a vessel of 500 tons paying $200 for a pr ge of about three hours. — Two fifths of the stock, we are informed, is owned by the State, and the balance by individu: ad the annual dividends reach 45 per cent, besides leaving a large fund on hand for repairs. It is but just to state that when the river is high, the steamboats never trouble the canal,but | run over the falls, It is only at a low stage of water like that of the present year, that the canal can control all the business. None of this canal stock is for sale.

Battie or Bunker Hit—-Discovery or Iy- rerestine Revics.—For some days past, workmen have been engaged in digging a well on the Battle ground, in Charlestown, on land owned by Phineas J. Stone. On Saturday, quite an excitement was produced by the discovery of several entire human skeletons, and on some careful search being made, x large number of other articles were found, which at once indentified the spot as the depository of the remains ofa large number of those who fell in the memorable battle of the 17th June, 1776, Che skeletons were in amunusually sound condition, and on one of the skulls,a wound, apoarently inflicted by a sword, was plainly ‘visible. On another, the hair was found almost entire, and in a remarkable state of preservation. Quite » number of metal buttons, numbered from 43 to 62, were also thrown up. These would seem to have belonged to the enemy,ns they bear the numbers of several of their regiments, and as itis well known that none such were worn by the Americans. The other articles consist of knee buckles, musket balls and copper com, the latter being too much corroded to discover their character or dates. The place where these remains and reli ere found, is supposed to have formed a part of one of the main entrenchments at the time of the battle, and that the bodies were covered up where they fell or were thrown in immediately after the conflict. This common grave could not have been bg ia nally more than three feet under the surface of the ground, but the earth having since been filled in and fuised considerably, in order to produce a gradual slope from the Monument, it is now found to be some fifteen feet below the present surface.

Henry F, Ketchum.—This was an action brought by plaintiff against defendant to recover damages fora malicious trespass which it was alleged had been committed by defendant, contrary to | the provisions of a written agreement between the par- ties in relation to the letting ofa stable situated in Chrys- tie street. It appeared that some time in the fall of 1844, defendant let the premises to plaintiff, reserving the right of occupancy of one stall, for the keap of horse, and also a place on the premises for one wagon. ant, however, it SEpenTed cont! ed accommodation for two hors acertain occasion put ont one of plaintiff’s horses, and tied it opposite to the stable in the street; and also put out his carriage on the street. Plaintifl remonstrated with defendant as to the alleged violation of the terms of agreement, whereupon defendant told him he would not allow him’ to enter the stable on any conditions, and plaintiff was accordingly compelled to seek other ac- commodation for that night. On the following day, how ever, he was restored to his right in Chrystie street sta- ble; and brings suit for the trespass committed by the alleged interruption of his right of tenure. The defence set up was thatthe agreement (by parole) gave tothe plaintiff possession of less room in the stable than he had occupied, and that defendant ejected upon the ground of his having claimed and taken possession of more than he was entitled to. His Hoon charged, that shongh it might have ap- peared that plainuff had occupied more room than he was entitled to, it still gave no right to defendant to for- ciblyeject,ashe had the alternative to test the question by civil suit,and thereby had the power to indemnify hi self for any damages he might have sustamed.

The Jeeches were placedina small timber cask, aud were taken away by the clerk, who gave them to a carman and hed them deposited in tue store of a party named Wittes. Subsequently, on de- fendant’s receiving the cask, he founda deficiency of 1000 leeches, there being but 2000 in it, for which defend- ant offered payment at the stipulated price of $96 per thousand, which plaintiff refysed to accept defend- ant’s clerk deposed that he saw the 3000 leeches counted out, and also testified that the cask in which they were placed was deposited in Witte’s store. The question at issne between the parties was that in relation to the re- ceipt and delivery of the 3000 leeches, the plaintiff claim- ing the amount die for the same, and defeudant contend ing that the tub in which the leeches were deposited on- ty contained 2000, and not wishing to be “ bled” to the 95, by the slippery customers who had, he npped the bucket” by slight of hand, or otherwise, leaving him minus the amount, tendered pay- ment for the 2000 leeches that remained “true to their al- legiance.” A nonsuit was moved for on the ground that no copartnership existed between the plaintiff's, and al that one of the plaintiffs had sued in a false name.
