 Gentemen--On my arrival at this place last evening, from Columbus, found the town thrown into considerable excitement from recent attempt on the part of the Michigan authorities to collect taxes from the citizens of the disputed district From a statement of the facts by Judge Wilson, who called on me to-day, and who was one of the sufferers by this recent act of violence l gather the following particulars :
 The town of Whiteford, as organized under the laws of Michigan, passes over the northern boundary of the State, to the Fulton fine, and comprehends the town of Sylvania in 0hio The Assessors of White ford, having made out their assessment roll, an attempt was made few days since, by a Michigan officer, living north Of the con- stitutional line of 0hio9 to collect taxes from the citizens of Syivapia. Against these proceedings the citizens ofSylvania remon- .strated-alledging that they were ia Ohio, and that they would pay taxes to that state enly. The officer thereupon levied upon the property of the citizens among whom were Judges Wilson and Jerome, Cyrus Ho!laway, James Egnew and Benj. Joy, Esqs. A number of cattle and horses be longing to these gentlemen were seized by the ofieer,w who proceeded on the 2Sth inst. to sell them at public auction. Among O. ther outrages, the dwelling of Col Hoadly, living some fifteen miles byond the Svly- yania settlement, was broken open III his absence, and a large amount of personal property taken and sold. The people at length becoming enraged at the several acts violence, collected in body, and after having taken out a warrant for the offender urRger the laws of Ohio, seized him and conveyed him to the jail of Wood County.
 This has created high degree of ex- citement as well in the neIghboring towns within Michigan, as among the inhabitants within the disputed district. The officer, who has since been bailed out of prison, swears vengeance upon the citizens, and declares his determination ofralsing posse to carry out his threat. The people are therefore in daily expectation of further out rages; and if something definite is not spec ally done by Congress, to silence the claim ot Michigan, or by this State to put stop to further aggressions, the scenes of violence of the past summer, will inevitably be act cd over again among our citizens, with in- creased yrulence and rancouf. The pre- sent acting Governor of Michigan. will no doubt, endeavcr te prevent any further pro- ceedings; but such is the feeling in some of the neighboring towns in Michigan, and the remoteness of the seat of government of that Territory, that much mischief may be done, notwithstanding the pacific policy of the Executive, and his jealous exer- tons fo promote peace upon the borders.
 How long this state of things is still to continue--or how much longer our perse- cuteds harrassed and deianceless citizens are to be subject to the lawless aggression D, power which appears to have no other object in claiming their allegiance but to 'yfannlze over and destroy them, Congress alone es;s <: s!ss s, unless Ohio, weari-
