Mow:x, Ala, Aug. 16, 1856, The Incendiary Publications—Tne Case of Strickland & C»,—Action of the Vigilance Commitiee~Flight of the Guilty Parties, de., dc. In my letter of the 14th inst. you were informed of the feverish excitement pervading the public mind ip consequence of the discovery that incendiary abolition documents bad been circulated among the slaves from Messrs. Strickland & Co.’s book store, Every effort has been made by the Vigilance Committee to keep the matter secret until they could ascertain the real facts of the case,and it has been quite a difficult matter to get reliable information reapecting their pro- ceedings. Meantime all sorts of rumors have prevailed, and it has required ali the tact and energy of Mayor Withers, and our efficient City Marshal, Captain Moury, to prevent violence upon the persons and property of the oflenders, Nothing has yet been made public, but your corres- Pondent has been favored by the Shairman of the com- mittee with the following facts, in addition to those al- ready communicated to you. Avon of Dr. Woodcock ealled at the store of William Strickland and Edwin Upson—firm of Strickland & Co,— on Wednesday, and considerable searching found the “Life and Writings of Frederick Douglass,’’ for which Mr. Upson charged the exorbitant price of $2 50, which Mr. Woodcock promptly paid. A Committee of Vigilance consisting of twenty-five of our leading men, soon met at the Battle House,sent for Mesers. Strickland and Upsou,and after giving them @ fsir hearing, required them to give bonds in the sum of $5,000 each for their appearance be- fore the (obtaittee the next day, for further examination, sicantime an examination of their stock and account books proved the statements of Strickland and Upson, to bave been utterly false. instead of these two or three copies having accidentally got in their store with a lot of second band books, as stated by them, their press letter book contained an order, in Mrs. Strickland’s handwriting, for fifty copies of said work. On Thursday the culprits appeared before the committeé, dad were ordered to “settle up’’ and leave town within five days, after which the Committee would not be answerable for their lives, ‘The potalty of the law here, in such case provided, is “death, or 99t less than ten years’ imprisonment in the ‘Peritentiary.”” Thursday night a [arly etarted for the residence of Mr. Strickland, armed and equipped tor a “ tightrope perform- ance;’’ but by the prompt interposition of the more mode- rate portion of the Vigilance men the “ performance was postponed.’’ Mr. Upson has not been seen since Thursday. Mr. Strickland was in his store yesterday, and passed through,our streets unmolested. Though the proofs of his guilt were not then known, two of his friends, meeting bim, eccosted him in this wise:— “Strickland, if I believed what is reported of you to be true, I would hang you as bigh as Haman.” “ Yes,’” said the other, ‘if balf of it was true, I would help to lynch you oa the spot.’ Sentiments like these are in every mouth, and great dissatis‘action is felt among many at the lenieut course of their committee. Strickland has not been seen in the city to-day, and it bas been ascertained that he left town in a sail boat yes- terday evening, soon after the warning he received from bis friends. It is supposed he bas gone North by the underground route. Great excitement prevails since it bas become generally known that he has mate his es- cape, and an indignation meeting was called for 2 o'clock to day; but owing to the exertions of the committee and a beavy fall of rain, it was postponed to this evening, when a large crowd gathered about the Court House, and flaally succeeded in calling out Mayor Withers, who made au able, calm and dignified law and order speech, recom- mending all good citinoms to refrain from any act of lawless violence, and unite in preserving order wna {hh good name of the South, This had the desired effect, and the’ areemblage dispersed without disturbance. ‘The chairman of the committee says the books and evidence before them are of such a character that they “dare not make them public at present.” They and the city authorities are determined to preserve the peace of the ci nd prevent violence at all hazards, aud are equally determined that Northerners or foreigners com- ing here sball abide by our laws or suffer the conse- quences.

Papers received from Kangas Territory and from "the border counties reiterate the report of attack of the abolitionists upon the town of Franklin, K,T., but with- Out stating the number of persons killed or wounded. The assailing party ordered all the inhabiants of Frank- in to leave, threatening to kill them if they did not. It was expected that au attack would be made on Lecompton the following night. In these outrages, it is apparent that the toois of the black republican party began them ; and it is equally apparent that they were dicta, ed by the black republicans of the north, who found that the work of agitation was dying out for want of ex- citing materials, Hence, at the risk of the lives of par+ ‘ies ou both sides, and’ with a full’ knowledge that it wyuld be productive of general civil war in the Territory, they have choten their course.

On one night of last week a party of these scoundrels made another descent upon the town of St. Bernard, broke er h aes rom ORon lon, Dus the Rostennater out of the house, fanguy <aiee merous letters and papers belong: week the outlaws of Lawronce held a meeting and resolved not to let the county assessor make any assess- ments in that place, and threatening him with personal violence if he attempted it.

At this meeting in which they declared their intention of resisting the execution of the iaws, the notvrious Babcock, postraaster at Law- rence, We Und<r stand, figured extensively. He was spokesman of their committee. Babcock, the man who i now. Postinaster wt Lawrence, is acting openly with ‘ae outlaws, and that, too, in deflance of all law. this man—a fanatic identifying himself with outlaws—‘o be retained in office? What is it, we would like to know, that is too low for such a man to stoop to? If it were not for betraying the confidence entrusted to us by a friend we could tell something on this same gentleman that would goon oust him from the responsible position which he occupies. We think that the conduct of the man— both in regard to the manner in which ho has conducted himself if Gis oMietst uttcg alld as arriy!e hostile opposition to our laws—demands ‘that he should be removed from the office of Postmaster. Herd is a man who has open'y arrayed bimeelf against our laws, and atthe same time he is holding an office under the laws of the United States—lawe which are recoguized by the United States, but which Babcock and his followers do not see fit to obey. We also learn that a law amd order man was shot near St. Bernard by a party of thege midnight assassins. We bave not been able to iearn his name. The Parkville Demo-rat of the 144h says:— Weare glad to learn that the settlers on Big Blue in Kansas Territory, instead of engaging in the turmoils and suabbles that were going on in some parts of the Terri- tory during the winter and spring turned their attention to the improvement of their farms and the prosecu fon of agricultural pursuits. There is perkaps no part of the Territory in which the citizens bave beca more quietly end iudustriously engaged than in the Big Bule settle- ment ; and the prospect now is, instead of reaping want and distress, they will, at the proper season, be enabied toreap an abundant and luxurious crop. We are in- formed by @ gentleman (Mr. Garrett) who has been stopping at our town a few days, that their corn crops at present promise a rich yield, equal, if not superior to that realized in the great country, inthe most favorable seasons. In order to accomplish this, they will have to make corn “ as is corn,’ ana shell it out” ame tune of almost an incredible number of bushels to acre. We know of no place offering superior advautages ‘o men of moderate means and industrious habits to make money, than the region of country above referred to. It 1S great distance from Fort Riley, which at present, is wbout the best corn and provision market in the country. Corn readily Commands a dollar a bushel, and we under- stand 1m nnaidered by the seitiers a “logat tender,” at price.

Every man who acki himself as belonging to the democratic looked upon with suspicion; but iuekily, office holders there are but few of them. Col. Thomas F, Marshall, late member of Congress from Kentucky, at the recent Fremont mecting in Cnicago took the stand and declared in favor of the Constitutional candidate for the Presidency. The only ?orthern State which has held an election since the organization of the Fremont Constitutiona? party is Iowa, and that has given it a majority of over five thousand. In September three more Northern States will hold their annual elections, via:—Vermoat on the 2d, California on the 3d, and Maine on the 8th. There wil! be greatanxiety tohear the acws from Maine.

Breckenridge, the democratic candidate for Vice President, has announced his {ntention to take the stump after the first of September. This is another important evidence that the nigger driving democracy are becoming desperate. He will speak at the Tippecanoe battle ground on the 8d ot September, at Columbus on the 20th, and an effort will be made to get him at the meeting to be held im Cleveland on the 8th of October. ‘Thomas H.

The New Orleans Bulletin looks with wonder and awe at the strides Fremont is making towards the White House. It says:— ‘The contest at the South being confined to Fillmore and Buchanan, people are litte aware of the immense revo- intion that has taken piace at the North ia favor ot the champion of the repuolicans.

SECTION OF MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY. The meeting was called to order at a quarter-past ten. The President, Prof. Pierox, called the attention of the Section to the resolution limiting the time of reading and discussion of papers, which had been adopted by the Ag- sociation. Prof. Hare said that the limitation of the time for dia- cussion he deemed unwise. If papers were to be read and pasted over without discussion he did not see much use in reading them at all. They were generally papers that no — but the author could follow, and were sc- companied by tical demonstrations on the black board, which but {ew could understand. These, if allow- ed to pass without discussion, were merely like speeches: to bunkum. He was proceeding, whon . ‘The Presipxnt called the gentleman toorder. There ‘was no question before the section.
