Irested over the Sabbath, attended ehurch, and on Monday morning | took leave of home, ‘sweet home,” ‘andcame here on foot, through the rain, wading the ereeka and swimming the Kansas river. I met Governor Robinson at Kansas, as I ascended the Missouri river, on his way Fast, since which I learn that be was taken off the boat by a mob at Loxtagton, Mis. souri, and is now in ‘‘durance vile,” gaardei by border roffians and io imminent peril of being hung, without benefit of clergy, for the encouragement of the growth ef hemp tn Missouri.

Brown, the editor of the Herald of Freedom, on his way home from the East, was arrested bya mob at Westport, and is stills prisorer. Day unto day uttereth outrages and new arrests, and night unto night darkens the horizon of a free State for Kansas, Divers prominent fodividuals of the free State party have found it convenient to be out ©. barm’s way about this time, for sundry good ressons: ‘The Uni ed States Marshal has posted printed procla- mations over the Territory, calling upon the lovers of “Jaw and order” to assemb'e at Lecompton, to aid him ta making arrests in Lawrence.

INTENSELY INTERESTING FROM KANSAS —THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT IN SESSION—INSTRUOC- TIONS OF JUDGE LECOMPTE—RESISTANOB OF BEED- BY TO THE PROCESS OF THE COURT—IS SUSTAINED BY SHERMAN AND HOWARD. We have letters and papers from Westport to the 18th inst, From the Leoompton Union, publishei at the seat be! — of the Bik, we take the following ex- racts:— UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. The United States District Court, for the First peghay Kansas Territory, began its session in this olty on las Monday, at 11 o’clook, Judge Looompte prestding. We were present when the Judgs charged the Grand Jury. His ergo was fall, forcible and explicit, covering tne en! ground. It requires n9 little nerve on the part of the Judge, in these exeiting times of ours, to impzess upon the minis of the Granda Jury their reeponsible cuties. Judge Lecompte knew his daty, and as an able, fearless and resolute jurist, he discharged, that duty. He called the attention of the jury to the rebellious and son- able spirit now mt in our Territory, and reterred to the foul assassination of a public officer while in the discharge of his official func\ions. He spoke of the at- ia oe eee men nize tee an nt government, in op) on prosent exis a ‘to assume offices of public trust without dae authority, and many other criminal offences committed in our midst. He told them that it was their duty, as law loving and law abiding citizens, made imperative by solemn oath, to arreign these men before the recog- nized tribunals ef the country, and make them suffer the just penalties of the law. He told them to summon evi- ‘denee, in order to sustain them, and in all sases the eum- mons should be executed, without regard to station, {r- fluence, threats or menacese. He pledged them tha! ia any and al cases where such charges could be substan- tiated, the guilty person or persons sheuld abide the dread correquence incurred by their own bind folly and crime. He said the law of the land shou!d be execatedat all bazsrds. Judge Lecompte’s manner during the charge was firm, dignified and impressive. Occasionally, Qwhilst resarring to the many outrages upon iff and law, he grew warm and eloquent, which produced @ deep impression, not only upon the jury, but all in attendauce. Judge Le- compte is the man of the right stamp, both asa jurist and gentleman. The Grand Jory have returned several bills of indict- ment, and it 1s rumored that the Marshalis now upon a visit to their Highnezs Reeder and Robison; but of course we cannot 5 with certainty, as thesa matters are confined to the knowledge of the Court for awhile. The Marshal and deputies are out for something, and no doubt they each have beach warrants in their pockets. Afew cays will explain all. Wo shall attempt to our (riends posted, as this is an important coart, upon the pretent crisis of affairs. REEDBR THREATENS THE MARSHAL’S LIFE—THE COMMITTEE SUSTAIN HIM-~INFLAMMATORY SPEECHES BY SHERMAN AND HOWARD. News has just reached us of a very important charac- ter, and wejstop the press to insert it. The Court, day Before yesterday, issued a subpons for A. H. Reeder to foto ped) the Grand Jury. The Deputy Marshal was to rerve the process, and immediately pro- ceeded to Tecumseh, where ler was then atte the session of the committee, and served the summons. Reeder told the Marshal emphatically the! he would not attend. Upon such return being made, Judge Lecompte issued an attachment; the officer proceeded to Lawrence ‘o serve it, He found Reeder in the committee room, and informed him of the attachment he had against him, wkereupon Reeder told him ‘if he laid his hsnis upoa him, it would be at the peril of his lie.” He said he would not obey the summons; he did not recognize its legality, and that he was exempt from suy atrens, “being & dele- gate to Congress from Kansas Territory,” and repeated again, if the Marshal attempted to execute the attach- ment, he should do it at the pertl of his life. During the remarks of Reeder he was several times ap- lauded by the crowd gathered in the room fend around the houre atthe doors and windows. Upon Reeder taking his seat, Sherman, one ofthe committee, in very animated and warm manner, sustained Reeder in his‘entire postiion, acknowledging him as a delegate from the Territory of Kansas, and that no ‘little Terri- torial court” had the power fo interrupt Mr. Reeder, or that body, by the arrest of Mr. Reeler. He was sacred to the touch of any such attachments. said that they (the committee) had the power and sufficient grouncs to have every member of the Grand Jury and the court arrested and sent to Washington. He said many other things of a similer character, that inflamed the crowd to frequent outbursts of Co peed for Sher- man andexpressions of resistance to the laws. Imme- diately after Sherman concluded, Howard, the other abolition member, rose and sustained hoth Reeder and Sherman. His remarks were passionate and inflamma- tory, and wore received by the crowd in the same man- ner as Reeder’s and Sherman's. Mr. Oliver several times requested the committee not to say or do Ge bo inthe matter. It was a matter on Paar tan haen no mre to act—that erin wag not ® part of t and that his presence and privileges wore only allowe’ through courtesy. He ed gi hitfield had no r'ght to demand of them any privilege that they were forced to obey further than courtesy compelled them, He said this wasa Polet sprung ‘and unanimously consented to in the beginn’ the investigation, and that was surprised to see gentlemen pursuing the eourre they had upon this occasion. Mr. Oliver said that he, as a committeeman, fecling he had no right or au- thority to act in the matter, would do nothing. Mos:ra, Heward ond Sherman etill perstated in their course. The Marehol returned witbeut making any arrests, and #0 the matter stands up to this time. These are the facta just commuricate’ to us by the: fen on, present during the proceedings, and if we time, should take their affidavits to the statements After the remarks of Mr. Oliver, Reeder very {ndignant- ly and inaultingly told Mr. Oliver that no msn wao ac- Knowle imeelf a lawyer would dissent from the opinions of Messrs. Howard and Sherman, that he was privileged from arrest as a Territorial delegate, and re. ated, “thatif the Marehal Ista his hands upon him, hat he would do it at the peril of his li’e.”” We wish we had time to make some comments, but, as ‘wo stated in the begis ning. we stopped the press to give these itema; but this we will say, and time will bear us out in the assertion, that this act of Howard and Sher- man has done more to create civil commotion in Keusas then any preceding act done in our midst. This unsalied for, unanthorized interference on the part of the commit. tee will, no doubt, involve Kansas ina war. We stood by and saw our worthy fellow ci'izen shot down tn the attempt to execute the laws. We now see another one threatened if h pti that threat sountenanced and sustained by ® committee tant by Cor gress, professing to restore and amity in our wuch disturbed Territory. Those men came amorgst us, and profess to enter into an impartial iaves- tigation of our disturbances, but grossly libel their own declaration, by countenancing resistance to Jaw, and in- flaming the populace to open rebellion. These are facts which should go forth to the nation. Messrs, Howard and Sherman, this day we assert that you have declared war in Kanses. You have allied yourselves with this periys who resist the Jaws, and by #0 doing you havs sent ‘th to the nation the declaration of war. Sire, you have diegraced your cowmission, you have saorificed your honor, and stand accneed of @ foul orime bef re your country 1.91 tho cation promouncs your sentence, | War Declared én eee terore UNITED ST4T39 TROOPS ORDERAD TO AQREST BAEDEX AKD ROBINSON, Wesrrurr.

On the 30th uit. a Baptist c'ergyman, by the name of Pardee Butler, wee assaulted ta tha streets of Atchison and mobbed by « gang of ruffians, He was dragged from his oarriags, taken into a grocery, and with revolvers cocked and pointed at him from all sides, he had a mook trial (the jadge eiting on the head of a whiskey barrel) and was sentenosd to ceath. Some of the bystanders intertsrod and recom. mended @ milder treatment. Then he was taken into another ry anda similar ceremony performed, and amid the howls and curses of an infuriat drunken crowd, he was doomed to recsive thirty-nine stripes well laid on, and to be tarred and feathered. Again did the bystanders interfere to leave the whipping out of the question. To this the mob at last assented, whereupon they stripped, tarred anc feathered him, and having ap- pointed a committee of seven to certain'y hang him the next time he was seen in town, he was placed in his buggy and escorted out of the plase. A young mac was taken (abont three miles south of this piace) last night by « band of raffians, and detained el night by them. During the night they’ took him into @ grocery, and havieg drank « goo’ dea! of Hquor (which they afterwards refused to pay for) took » bowle knife, and holding {t to his breast, told him if he did not ac- bnowledge himself » pro-alavery maa they would kiU him, and gave him just five minutes to do itin, (the men holding the knife so drunk that the polat dropped two or three times), and he said that at the end of four minutes and a half that he was a pro-alavery man—thus compelled to do that which is almost aa hard for a free State man of Kansas to daa it would ba to give up life, Governor Shannon was heard to say the other day that “the d—d abclitioniats had rerused to ovey hia mea, and had obeyed the United States troops, but now, by G—d, 1 will show them that my men shali be obeyed, or I wil hang every free State man in the Territory.” Such is the man we have te deal with, and to combat with govern- meat officials of such a character is enougn to try one’s soul. Another case of mobocracy ocourred at Leavenworth last week. A young man was riding along the street, when a ruffian—one of the murderers of Browa—rushed on to him, seized his horse by the bridle, and toid him that he arrested him for burning the ferry boat last fall. The young man asked him, ‘ By what authority do you arrest me?’ He replied, ‘By this authority,” at the same time brandishing bis bowie kaife. Tho ones man then drew his revoiver, and the ruflian walked off. As he was gr'1g home he was overtaken by the same rut- fian, in compary with seven or eight others, and flourishing their knives about him took him t» Dela- ware city put him into # log jail, and there lott hin all night and the next day.

The St. Louis Republican of this morning publishes a despatch from Westport, of the 20th, giving an account of ‘n encounter on the rcad between Lecompton and Frank- lin. The correspondent of the Republican says :— Mr, Cosgrove and Dr. Branson, while going from Lecompton to Franklin, were hailed by a party of free State men, who demanded their names and destination. Belong an- ewered, the commander of the party turned to his men, asking their motto. They replied, ‘Sharps’s rifles,’ and Immediately fired on Cosgrove and Branson, Branson waa wounded, when Cosgrove shot the leader of the party through the head, and the remainder fled.” A free State man was shot at Blanton’s Bridge on the 19th. Particulars not give: It was reported at Kanras City that the inhabitant: of Lawrence were preparing to evacuate the place, and had called upon Col. Sumner to protect their property. So many men had responded to the proslamation of Marshal Donaldson, and gone to aid him against the peo- ple of Lawrence, that the towns of Kickapoo, Leaven- worth, Doniphan and Atchison were almost deserted. A gentleman who arrived from Jefferson City yester- day, informs the editor of the Democrat that a despatoh had been received from Lawrence stating that @ baitle had been fought at Lawrence, and a number of persons killed on bath sides. He was unable to give particulass. ‘The Democrat has further information from Kickapoo, stating that a meeting had been held there, at which it was resolved to sack the Kansas Hotél at Kansas City. It.was understood to be owned by Massachusetts men, and #0 certain was its destruction considered that fami- lies were moving out. The citizens of Kickapoo havo offered a reward of $200 for the arrest of Gen. Pomeroy, and parties had gone in search of him. Mr. F, Conway, awriter for the Democrat, and Genoral fchuyler, while en route for St. Louis from Leavenworth, were arrested at Parkville, Mo., on the charge of being fugitives. They were detained until {nformation could be received from Lecompton. Governor Shannon had deen nolified of their arrest, but at last accounts no reply had been recetved from him. The arrest was made on the 8th inst. Se, Louis, May 24, 1856, Adespateh from Boonville to the Republican ai Lawrence was destroyed on Wednesday.

We have received a letter, signed ‘‘Thomas Green owner of the Fauquier White Sulphur Springs,’”’ com- ylaining that we have been duped by the writer of the communication which we published a couple of weeks sinoe, under the signature of ‘Jesse Green,” and which, he states, forms only one of a series of malisious at- tempts made to injure the popularity of the springs. As soon as we have had an opportunity of vorifying the signature appended to the last received statement, we sball give it a place in our columns, as we have no no- ton of being made the unconscious instrument of an act @f vindictiveness. A correspondent, waiting from Burlington, Iowa, refer- ring to an article published in our isvue of the 24, setting forth the abuses of the New York Central Railroad, states that nothing can exceed the rudeness and discour- tesy of the subordinates employed upon the ssction of the road in this neighborhood, and he strongly recom- meonds those having occasion to travel to choose in pre. ference any other line or mode of conveyance that they can possibly find. A legal correspondent, in making some comments on the im provements recommen’ed by the examiners appointed by the Supreme Court in the mination of candidates for aimission to the Bar, throws out the following suggestions, which he thinks are better adapted to meet the abuses complained of. He recommends that as often as once a year thiee persons should be eelected as examiners, who ate known to be qualified—one to examine the candidate upon practice, the second upon common law, and the third upon equity law; the questions and answers to be teken down, subscribed by the applicants, and th e submitted to the General Term of the Supreme Court next aucceeding such examination, with the opinion of the examiners thereon. He does not consur with the opinion of the exsmiuers, that to ouable a porson to be- come qualified for admission to the Bar it is necoseary to pursue a regular clerkship in » lawyer’s office for a given time. The framers of our prevent constitution raw the injustice of this idea, and very wisely adopted the pro- vision embraced in it. There are many persons of learn- ing and ability who can qualify themselves more tho- roughly for the profession of the law in one year, bya atriet course of study and application, than others can acquire by ® service of twenty years as clerks in law offices, The test should be only the learning and talent of the applicsnt, without reference to the time employed in its acquirement. A Fort Washington correspondent thinks the captains and owners of small steamboats are blind to their own interest in not running a ferry boat on the North river, as high as Spuyten Duyvil, making some half-dozen stop- pages on the cast side, as many thousands who live on that route would much prefer a boat to » dusty railroad car in the summer, especially if they could get to the city by8 o'clock, A.M.,and leave again at 5 o’clock, P.

The Inat religious services were performed yoatertay in the Brick church, and tts pastor, after a counsction with it embracing period of forty-ax yours, proached the Jast sermon which he will ever deliver within its walls, The occasion was of the de*pest interost, and attracted: one of the largest congregations tbat has ever assembled in tkatedifice. Every available foot of s:anding room was occupied, and the entrances were thronged with an eeger crowd. There were many who came from a long Gistance, to take their farewell of the old church, and to participate in the last devotiona: exercises ot {ts oongre- gation, Awong the large assemblage there wore some who hava been in communion with the church for more than half a century, and whose children and chtldren’s children have Deon baptised at its font.

Afrer the usual exercises the Rev. Dr. Garren SPriNG delivered bis sermon, which was devoted almost exciu- atvely to s history of the church amd his pastorship. He commenced by spesking of the reiuetance with which his congregation were compelled to leswe, but aid that their abendonment of it had been forsed by conaideratione which, he had no doubt. were for ‘the best interests of the kingdom of God. With the futurs we have less to do, he con‘inued, thaa with the past or tne present oscasion. The Brisk-Preabyterian church had, from its origin, occu. pied 8, prominent posltion—wufficion'ly 99 to justlry some istorical notice. The first account we have of Presbyie risniem in this clty was the combinaticm of severa! Prea- byterian familfes from Rngland, Scetlan’, Ireland, France and New England, in the year 1706, Tnese famillen wore in the habit of assembling together on the Lord’s day ina private house, where they conducted their religious exer- cises without the aid of an officiating minister. Tha {ol- lowirg year they worshipped ogsasisnally in the Dutch churon, in Garden street, and in 1716 they formed them- selves into a regular congregation, under the charge of a paner. For three years this infant congregation assem. led for public worship in the City Hall, which then stood on the corner of Nassau and Wall streets; and in 1719 they ereoted the first Presbyterian church, in Wall street. The corner ntozo of the brick church was laid ia the au- tumn of the year 1766, and on the Ist day of January, 1768, it was opened by the Rev. Dr. Rogers. The congrems tion worsbipping in Wall street remained one church, un: der the same:pastor, but there was a division among the Presbyteriano-during the Revolutionary war, when they ceased to be, bour by the same identity of interests. During that struggle the edifice in Wall street and that in which we are now assembled were dexpoiled of thvir furniture; the former was converted into a barrack, while this was ured as a hospital. The Brick church was not only left in ruins, but was actually burned. [t was, however, re-erected, though at a great expense, and was reopened in June, 1784, by the Rev. Dr. Rogers.’ The ministers who were successively associated with him at the clone of the war were the . Mr. Wilson, Rav. Mr. it and Rey, Mr. Miller. It is now forty-six yoars, said “Rev. Dr. Spring, since your present pastor became connected with it, and it was at session of the 28.h ot May, 1810, that the resolution appointing him was adopted.

Or. 8; re spoke of @ long geries of discourses whish he livered a few years after his acceptance of the pastorship, on characteristics, ani whish embraced the entire system of Sheology, ot the Presbyterian Church. There were, he la, over one hundred and twenty, and they were intended to combat and remove some errors of doctrine which hsd been embraced by some of the members of his =e tion. ‘The preparation of these was the greatest of his life, and it oosupied nearly four years of laborious and intenee study, and no series of sermons that he ever delivered was listened to. with ter in‘erest. These discourses led to the formation of Bible classes, composed of merchants, meobanics and representatives from all clasees and conditions of Il'e, and at the mestings of these classes subjects of a purely religious character and ten- dency were dieciiised. The services in which they en- gaged were of the most edifying description, and there are many men, said the Rev. Doctor, who, though now widely scattered over the country, will never ferget them. The effects of these services could not be over-estimated. Toe last fifty years, said he, has been a remarkable period, not only for the progress which has been made in science and the arts, but for the extension of Evan- gelical religion. The period commences with the year 1792 and terminates with 1848, and it wasa memorable era in the ret es the American Church. Scarcely any portion of it, with the exception of the High Church, that Gid not feel the effeeta of the revival from North to South and trom Kast to West. Not only the churches, but the colleges drank largely of the fountain of living waters. ‘The reverend speaker here alluded in feeling language to the mai of kindness snd affection which he and his family received from his co: tion, and which Saree oe ion = — oe Che 4 bh td of publicly. on wu Rect 6 8 Tinnd Poon hondcied Atty. yeare-that his gil wae st alive, and thst of his thirteen children six were dead.

The proposition was not accepted, and the present congregation were reluctantly obliged to dispose of it, to be converted to other uses, It was to them a subject of the greatest regret, but had no fault to find with themselves for the manver ia which they had acted in the matter. And now, said Dr. Spring, {n con- clusion, I take my farewell face ver of this aan edifice, the companion of my minis! ugh forty-six yours.
