Dats the whole of yesterday, the expected meeting of last night was he universal topic 0° con Versation. Cro* da of visitors arrived by the several trains from the surronading cities and towns, even from aa far as Detroit and St. Lous, attracted by the announce mens that Judge Douglas waa to ad dress his constituents, During the afternoon, the Tribune, trae to its flendish instinct, issued, as a last effort to creste a aisturbance, an iyflammatory handbill, headed py the exciting words: PCCD SOOSDSOODODOSONS OCOD NH 0 P “ ORGANIZATION OF THE IRISH BODYGUARD.” 939000008 000009000009900% Asserting that an Irish body guard had been organ iged to prevent Americans enteridg or participating in the meeting. Z he effect produced by this and othe: nefarious means on the pabdlic inind wil! be seea hereafter, In uence of the extreme heat of the wea- ther, it was deemed advisable to nold the meeting on the outside of the hall instead of the interior, as had beem announced. ‘At early candle light a throng of eight thousand 808 assembied at the south part of North Kiara Hall. t the time announced, the Mayor of Chicago called the assemblage to order, aod Judge Dougias then addressed the meeting. We have been unable to prepare in time for this morning’s paper, a full re- port of the What follows is but the merest skeleton of what was said: — Fellow-citizens, I vome before you to-night to ex- peas to you the provisions of the act of Congress known as the Nebraska and Kansas act. (Groaus and ee Tf at avy time beg 4 ed I make aay 6tstement which you will ask the authority for, I as gure you I will make a kind and respectful response. (Cheere.) All I want is to presen; that measure io its true light. I know that considerab'e excitement exists in this city res,ec ing the measure, but I do not know whether you have had any opportunity to read the bill. The whole press of this city has de- nouseed this measure, but never hill this day has any per in this@ity ever published that act, You have oe told that the bill legislated slavery into terri- tory now fiee, by act of Congress. I will read th: 4th section of the bill to you, by which you wilt see that the act itself declires that its true intent aod meaning is not to legi-late slavery into any ter- pie 4 orto exclude it ther-from, but to leave the people thereof free to regulate that subject for them. selves. (Cheers and noise.) It is perfectly con- sistent for those who have denounced and slandered me to seek to pervent me from being heard in my own behalf- (Tiemendous cheering.) I say that I have been charged with legislating slavery into free territory. I say that the bill leaves the American People in the territory free to decide that question for themselves. Hi A Voror.—We knew that before. Judge. D—If you knew tnat before then you knew that the charge aguiast me was false. (Great cheering.) The bili is tramed on the great rinci- ple of tue right of the we ple to regulate their own government, (Great noice was tere made in the crowd, interrupting him for some time.) Waen order was restored Judge D. resumed by saying that the attempt to prevent bim from spe indicated a desire that the truth should.not be discuseed. A good” cause needed no violence to defend it. He | said he knew his rights, and would not permit { them to be violated. He kaew that threats of per- sonal violence bad been made if he attempted to speak, or to offer any exylanation. After jurther confasion and remarks respecting it by the speaker, he read the 14th section of tre act, that slavery was not so rat into or excluded from the tevritories, pd was the correctness of that principle de- A Voroe—We deny it. - Judge D.—Them you deny the right of the people to self government. That is the principle of the Nebraska bil. The great obje.tion you have is the repeal of the Missouri compromise. (Cries of yes, -) Well, what was the Missouri compromise? it was the prohibition of slavery north of a tine, _ nd the recognition of slavery south of that line. Was there, he asked, a man in this crowd in favor of slavery south of any line? (Tre- oheering) He would show that the abolitionists and free soilers, in 1848, were pledged to the repeal of the Missouri compromise; the can- didate who was on the Buffalo platform was pledged | for the total prohibition of slavery io all the terri- | tories of the United States, nortn and south of the line of 36 30, therefore tae whole abolition and free soil porty who voted for Van Baren in 1848, voted for the repeal of the Missouri compromise. Having disposed of the free,‘soilers aud abo- litioniata, he desired to given them company.

He said that in 1848 he had offered the Missouri com as 8 settlement cf tre slavery qu«stion, | and i¢ was resisted in the House of Representatives by Northern votes. A Voice—Why did yod re it? Judge D.—The reason for its repeal, he sid, was because it bad been repudiated by the North, and a new settlement was necessury.

From the Chicago Democratic Press, dem} Mr, Douglas bed a storm: at the North Market Hall. There was a amount of groans and cheers, but there was no! like @ riot or avy approach to it. He said some bitter vou against the press of Ciicago, ard did ntt compliment the intelligence of citizens in very pleasant terms. They refused to hesr him on trege eubdjects. Towards the close of his speech they became so uprearious that he was obliged tc desist. ‘The plein truth is there were a great many there who were unwiiling to hear him, and manifested their disapprobation in a very noisy and diarespect. ful mapner. We regret exceedingly that he was net permitted to mike his speech unmoiested. Taat would rate been far better than the course that was pursued, teal ag make no further efforts, the people retired peace- ably totbeir homes, and all was quiet. - {From the Chicago Tribune, abolition.) At quite an early hour on yesterday-morning, a very parceptibie degree of excitement was obsery- | able among all claases of our citizens. The certainty of the fact that Stephen A. Douglas would attempt, in the evening, to vindicate himself from the charges which the city of Chicago, the State of Lilinois, and the whole Northern confe had brought against | him—the well-grounded apprehensions entertained of undue and reprehensible méans resolved upon to choke the real sentiment of the city, and to subdue the expressions of the opinions of. her citizens at almost exclusive subject of conversation and remark; and, although every one appeared determined to resist to the Jast any attempt to misrepresent the poopie of Chicago in the eyes of the country, yet so | conflicting were the rumors, and s0 various the | Mined that no definite plan of action, on the part } of the citizens, could be determined on. The weather was oppressive to the last degree, the heat being more sévere than any we have yet experienced this summer, At about four o’clock, reliable information to that effect having been obtained, the follewing hand- bill was issued, and added greatly to the excite- ment already raging:— IRISH BODY GUARD ORGANIZED! AMERICAN CITIZENS, BEWARE!! At a meeting held at the office of the nototious Charles G’Mally, on the north side of the river, on last evening, Collector Snowhook acting as chairman, twelve Irishmen from each ward were elected to act as a special body guard at the North Market Hall this evening. Shall the voice of the free citizens be stifled in this way? Daring the efterroon the railroad trains brought in some hundreds of Douglas men from.fhe country, who had been sent for in order that their presence might intimidate the citizens. The m‘ crlty of Wie Apis were from Springfield and that neigh- hood. The flags of all the shipping in port were dis. played at half-mast shorly after noon and. re- mained there daring the remainder of the day. There can be no doubt of the feeling entertained towards the recreant Douglas. Ata quarter past six the bells of the city com- menced to toll, and continued to fill the ai oe @ city wore an air of mourning for the disgrace which ae Senator was seeking to impose upon her, and which her citizens have determined to resent at any cost. The Douglas cabal, bs to a late hour yes! 7 afternoon, issued no pubji: call for their meeting, but did all their work in secret. They worked with that decuitical policy for which their leader is a0 de- servedly calculated, and had all their arrangements weli and skilfully perfected. Their last and most effective move was to give the Irish of the city twenty-fiye cents per head to attend the meeting, end follow the beck avd nod of their leader. To- wards sundown on last evening the following ph. card was issued by arder of Douglas, which was the only call made for the meeting:— ecoscosocoosooeog oso oeo Oooo ooo THE HON. 8. A.

He began to denounce the assemblage as a mob, and declared “that the tone of it was pro- duced and regulated by the influence of that organ of the whig and free soil parties of the State, the Chicago Tribune.” At is, three hearty cheers were given for the Tribune, and the same number of groans for the Press and Times, all of which were afterwards pereny repeated. - Douglas now apparently gave up all hope of mollifying the assemblage, an: ce go on his hat, faced the crowd, and attempt to tire and bully them into silence.

It (parpested to be a letter threatening personal violence if he spoke bere. It is to that no euch letter was ever written, at reliable things, tor which be received no lack of groans.

Thus ended the vindication of Senator Douglas | before the people ofChicago. It cannot be regarded as anything but a complete and hamiliatiog defeat and overthrow of Douglas and his cabal, and as a most glorious triumph of the people. No skill, no diplomacy, no expense bad been spared to get it up, aud tohave it result by fair means or foul,in the endorsement of Douglas by Chicago. Weeks of labor have been spent in its arrangemen’, and han- dreds of dollars hate been expended in Carrying it out. It wasallin vain.

A gentleman writing from Eagle Pass, i be 4th, informs us , says the Austin Z¥mes of the 19th ult-, there bas been t excitement on the other side of the Rio Grande, on sccount of the Lipan In- dians, ol. Castener gave these Indians permission to run wild cattle in the lower part of Coahuila. Theee worthies saw proper to take an excursion into Tamaulipas. . About that time several robberies were committed by Indians. The Lipans charge it upon the Co manches, They say they had s battle with them, killed aix watriors, and took two prisoners, which they brought in, besides about fifteen mules, anda co rable ey of money. Gen. Wool ordered Capt. Frugas, with 150 men, to pursue and chastise the Lipats. Col. Castina, who is military chief in depertment near Presidio de Rio Grande, ordered all the people to take up arms in defence ‘of the Lipens. The Col. also sent an order to Capt. Fratas to balt bis command until they could communicate further on the subject. Capt. Meliata, with an escort agerieen men, met Col. Castinasat Morales, near Juan, They had a quarrel—caliing each other thiever, burglars and ro! * After this trathfal interchange of ideas, CofC. ordered Capt. M. to retura and report to his commanding officer. The opinion is that this will stir up a fight between Coahuila and Tsmaulipas. ‘ If it be true the Lipans and Comanches did have 8 fight, the gathering of the latter reported. by P. Colhoun, may be for the purpose of crossing into Nexico and Syst! the defeat of their braves. A lovg and deadly hostility has existed between these tribes. However, in going to and from the Rio Grande these red rascals wou'd neglect no oppor- tunity to kill and steal. Phey are opposed to see ing citizens encumber themselves with too many horses. YELLOW FEVER IN GALVESTON. We learn trom a responsible gentleman, who writes to us from Houston, 13th inst,, that the yellow fever bas broken out at Galverston with co: le violence. Some twenty cases have been reported by telegraph as having occurred within the three or four daya preceding 13th inet. On the 12ch inst. there were seven deaths. We are sorry to learn the death of Mr. Fields, the candidate in that district for district attorney. Murder in St. Louts—| Stabbed, {From the 8t. Louis Democrat, aug 31.) Night before last, about eight o’clock, a man by the name of Francisco Edward Hordeth, an Italian, was shot by William Midaleton, mate of the steamer Forest Rose, lying at ous@vharf, under the following circumstances:— In the evening, a little boy coming along the levee snatched an apple from a fruit stand situated be- tween Vine and Locust streets, and running down towards the river was pursued by the Italian, Hor- deth. ‘The boy jumped on board the steamer Forest Rose, and ran up into the of the boat; and as the Italian was attemptin| gue him, he was stopped by Middleton, alone, and to leave the staging he was standing.

As the Italian started to leave, boy threw something at him, at ro ee (Hor- when g against the Sioux, and the sasurance was further gives bim that several battles would be fought, in one'@t which he-—Hole-in-the-Day—would be killed. He gathered about him some one hundred and thir- ty warriors, and on his way from Crow Wing to Lac qui Parle, fell upon a camp of thirty Sioux, with whom he had a running and hard fight, in which the Stoux appear to have been the successful com- patents. One Chippewa was killed, and his body hacked to pieces in the sight of his friends by the old Sioux Squaws. Three of Hole-in the-Day’s band are also wounded, and as they returned to Crow Wing without any acalps, their story of the fight, in which they represent themselves as victors, is not by any means believed. ‘This attack ronsed the Sioux, and r¢taliation twas resolved upon. Several parties went out on the war path, and one of these encountered and massacred a party of Pillager Chippewas at a point between Otter tail Lake and Lorg Prairie. @ party was upon abunting expedition, and-were not prepared for battle. Twenty-five were killed, and seven wo- men and two men escaped. They sought refuge at the Agency, but soon returned to bury their ead, They aver that they found one Sioux upon the field of battle, but as no scalp was brought in, the atory is not thought to be trae. The Pillegers charge this heavy disaster upon: Hole-in-the- Day, and his untimely war operations, ‘Txrrcrara ConsouipArion Darzarep—We le from the Utica: Observer that the posites of the: stockhoWers of the Morse line, held in city on the lst instant, to determine the question of copsolidation with the House line, to endorse the proposition.

The Timour left our wharf last Thursday Yor Weston and St. Jozeob. On Saturday morning, absut 1 o'clock, while wood ing at Edward’s wocd yard, about three miles below Jefferson City, explosion occurred. We bave heard no cause assigned which resulted in the catastrophe. All three of the boilers burst simoultazeously, while the boat was lying at shore.

We hope sobaognent reeulta will prove the case not quite so serious. Many were blown into tte river. Among the victims woose bodies were recovered, and whose names are ascer- tained, is that of the pilot, Mr. Dix, brother of the captain. Mr. Dix’s body was brought down on the Elvira to St. Charles, whence it will be taken to Bridgeton for interment. The bodies of five deck hands were recovered, Dames not mentioned. The second. mate and a striker, both badly wounded, were brought down on tke Elvira, Several others brought down by the same boat { severely, Mr. White, merchant, of Roanoke, Mo., and nger, was badly scalded.

Dix had just ascended to the boiler deck, and was in the act of walking to the clerk's office when the volcano beneath feet sent the whole. forward part, of the boat shivering into the air. His escape was Miraculous. . Mr. Charles Dix, his bro- ther, one of the pilots, was in the Texas or pilot house, and received injuries of which he soon died. Mr. McPrereon, the first clerk, escaped without serious injury. Mr. Eckley, the-secona clerk, was crossing the forecestle with three of his children, all of whom were blown overboard, and fortunately saved from drowning. The children were severely injured, one, if not two of them, dangerously. There ‘were, perhaps, five or six cabin passengers, all of whom escaped without material injury, except Mr. White, spoken of previously. Capt. Dix does not recollect the names of any of the victims; all killed and missing were believed to bave been firemen and deck hands, who were eshippéd in this city, a majority of them but a few hours before the boat left port, and their names, if taken down, are in the possession of Mr. McPher- son, first clerk. The first and second engineers escaped with slight burns. Charles McCord the first, was seoypes the Texas, and fell with a ion of the wreck into the river. The second snd astriker were on duty. The striker was badly burned; the second received one or two slight acratches. We have heard it stated that the explosion was caused by a want of water in the boilers—a very cammon, and nine times in ten the only true cause of explosion. * It is said there was little steam, no water, but apy quantity of Lig itit rd boilers, as ithe appear- ance of the wreck, and the barned and o: bo- dies of the unfortunate victims too plain! wed.

The following is the list of the dead as far as discoved: Wm. Kelcher, Edward O’Mahey, Dan. Conners, Fleming and Charles Dix. All but the latter were deck hands.
