Dear Sir-1here are decided move
ments here. Cannon pass through our
village at night, and armed men are seen
lodging about at alihours. between dark
and daylight. / have not doubt, but
some decides, work is in progress. Night
before last, there was an arrival in our
village, between twelve and one O'clock,
in some kind Of conveyance,of four orrfive
strange looking men, and in a short time
afterwards, body of fifty or sixty men
were seen on .theamarclf to thesuthef side
Of the river, where the principal move
ments of a warlike character seem to cen
tire. There is strong watch and patrol
here. and ,igilant look out is kept up
during the whole night. | have not a
doubt but there is large collection Of
arms and ammunition about here some
! where. There can be no doubt but
some great event is on foot. The more
prominent Suffrage men here do net. pre-
tend to know any thing about What is do
ing. They look Oh, and with as much
surprise at proceedings around them, as
possible. fcanrot, aud will not believe,
they eountenance violence, or that they
know that any thing Of a violent charac-
ter is threatened, and hope they will not
open their eyes when it is too late.
Cannon have been sent from this vii
lage To- Chepachet, and | have DOT the
slightest doubt but that that place is des-
tined to be the ''trystiBg place. Of What
ever maneuyre is coming off. VlGIL.

| Cbepachet.-There seems to be nc
doubt that several cannon, intended to be
used against the government, have arriv-

the same that have been stolenfrom vari-
Gus places, within few weeks.

not what view that paper takes of the
movements above alluded to. The Re.
