The intelligence received yesterday morning from
Rhode Island is of the most exciting nature.
We take from slips and papers the following sum-
mary. We are indebted 10 Mr.. Gladding of the
Massachusetts,, Adams & Co., Harnden Il Co., and
10 the officers Of the Cleopatra, for the despatch
with which they forwarded the news to us.
1t is seen by the extracts below that Rhode Island
and the Providence Plantations are the scene of
much rude commotion.
We see no chance now tor an escape for either
party from violence and boodshed. There must
soon be a march 10 the grave, and the only hope is
that as few possible will Join in the procession TO
eternity. All who have had it in their power have
left the State TO avoid the horrors of civil war
Businesshas been suspended-banks closed-school
houses, colleges and churches turned into barrack
rcoms-al sorts of people made soldiers, sleeping on
their arms every night and indeed the whole State,
lltlcs, one great
military camp, and the hundred thousand inabi-
tants thereof form one big bvouac as the sun sinks
into the western horizon every evening
With the foregoing give the extracts. Read
them and prepare for an Extra Herald this morn
ing, containing highly important and bloody news
from the seat of war.
