astrphes were those Of Squire Lightfoot
and Lieutenant Darling. The IS quire
being pursy and short winded, was over
taken by the bull, and received tremen-
dous butt in the rear, which disabled him
so that he could not sit down without a
double cushion for fortnight; and after
knocking him over, he turned upon the
other, and the Squire was obliged to climb
up into the tree and take refuge with the
parson.
The LieutcEant's was a still harder case.
He was short, duck-legged fellow, and
happened 10 be dressed in a pair Of stout,
old-fashion leather breeches. The bull,
having freed the Squire, came, in the twin
king Of a bedpost, right upon the Lieuten-
ant, who was waddling off in double quick
time. The bull hit him poke, no doubt
intending to serve him as he had done the
Squire; but one of his horns, catching the
waistband Of the Lieutenant's inexprcssi-
bles, he was taken off his legs in an in an
instant and whisked off upon the BULLS
horns.
Away went the bull, securing after the
fugiiivcs, with the unfortunate Lieutenant
dangling by the waistband, and fairly out
Of his WIS for terror His capcrs.in the
air were only brought.to an end by the
bulls bringing up, butt, against the stone
wall, and pitching the Lieutenant over
into the road.
The rest Of the party got over the wall
without any help. and escaped the fury Of
the animal. And now commenced a regu-
lar set-to. The party armed themselves
with stones and clubs, and began a pitched
battle with the bull, for the deiverance Of
the parson. Thumps, bangs, thrusts,
pokes and missiles Of every description,
were showercd upon the hide Of the furi-
Gus beast, who shook his horns, 0ourshe1
his tail, and ran butting and believing here
and there, wherever the attack was hot
test, the Parson and Squire. meantime,
shouting from their citadel in the appe-trec
cheering on the assallants, and attacking
tie bull in the rear by peting him with
small shot in the shape of winter pppins
This holy war lasted for thrce-quar;ers
Of an hour, and the bull seemed likely to
win the day. Ichabod fancied himself
already reduced TO to the necessity OF ia
king up his quarters in the tree for the night
but luckily, at this moment n reinforcement
arrived, and the bull began to retreat; the
assuilans headed by Bill Mugs, pressed
their advantage, carried the stone wall by
cscalade, formed a solid column, and in IA
short time the bull was driven from the
field without the loss Of single man. And
thus the victory being achieved, Ichabod
came down from the tree
But it was all over with him. His SER
mon was gone, the afternoon was gone,
and he soon found that his hopes Of wag-

bull was never out Of his mind He never
had the courage to attempt another sermon
and at the very thought Of marching TO
church in surplice. to this day, he hears
a boo-boo-ng and sees pair Of horns.

states, because he found his men leav-

Had they not deserted or deceived him,
he would, as can be understood from
the general tenor Of his letter, have

of consequences, to carry his points,

failure, and his escape, we give the
"summing up" as the lawyers say, in
his own words, as follows:

approved the military operation proposed on
Tuesday evening but the first information
of an open opposition aud general resignation
was received by Inc, as already stated, on
"Wednesday morning. 10 this ! must add
that, before the receipt Of Col. Wales letter,
Mr.. Anthony requested me not to mike his

"Nearly one hour and n half had now clap

our ranks had been increased hu; by few ad-

men Of all arms. including the arlillcrsts, as

FiRE.-The wood house Of Mr.. l.. w. Law
ton, was discovered TO be on fire on Thursday
night last, about half past IL o'clock. The
building was situated but a few feet north OF
Mr.. LIS dwelling house in Washington square,
and when discovered was blazing to great
height, and a threatened destructive conllagrn-
grafton The active aud timely cxertions Of
tho fremen and citizens soon, however, sX-
tinguishcd it, aud fortunately before any ma
tcru damage had been done to the nd djacent
dwellings of Messrs. Lnwton and Dennis
Loss about 5000.
The fire was undoubtedly the work Of mn in
condary, as by the Card of Mr. l.. it will bs
seen that neither fire nor lights had been used
in the building for u long time previous. OBJ.
siructions being found in the hose Of the new
Eugne, No. 80 which was nearest at hand,
strongly established the belief that such wns
tho fact.
So we'll satisfied were the citizens that tho
abovs fire was tho work Of design, u very nu-
merons meeting was held at the State House in
'hc Hi'efnooh VI rfiuay, hnd Noi"hteer N'gN
Watch, was forthwith established, to be con.
linued for an indefinite length Of time. The
whole number that have already volunteered
10 compose this Watch, exceeds 200 in the
several wards-20 go on each night. THIS
watch, together with the regular Town Watch,
and the strong military watch at Armory Hall,
constitute a pretty efficient nightly Patrol
But we shall be glad and no doubt every body
oIso will be also, when this disturbed state Of
things shall cease, and peace and quietnsss
bo again restored To the community.

III Il r. Id OF THE TIMES S.

Charter IL both the oldest and the irecsi
now existing in the world. Allow me To
say TO the Senator, who conienins il, that
il he would read II, and could compre-
hend and appreciate lis pure and liberal
provisions, he would become divorced
from his modern and destructive doc.
trines, and take those of that Charter 10
his bosom, and guard them as the apple
OF his eye.
In these hasly remarks | have for
borne 10 say any thing in reference to
the pretended new Constitution of Rhode
Island, referred Ia by the Senator from
Ohio. IL IT shall bc determined by Ike
Senate 10 permit the discussion to pro-
oeed, | may hnd occasion to examine
that instrumrn, Ia detail, for the purpose
Of showing that It is a mul,sh mixture oi
the fanatic aud agrarlnn, entirely neon
sisicnt with the Constitution OF this gov
crnment, which all are bound to support.
Allow me to say word or two AS to
the right of this Government to interfere
upon the subject Of The Constitution oi
State. When our State adopted the
/ 4Nu'i'udi toHS'HH'ib', " ""o "oHN " wv
certain qualifications, showing perfect
understanding of It's elementary prIncI-
pies.
The Senator has read the act by which
we Of Rhode Island adopted j, and even
he does not withhold an expression m his
respect for the declarations II contains
relative 10 the rights 81 The States To be
exempt from any interference on the part
of this Government in determining the
provisions OF State Constitution, fur
iher than | have before referred TO-
The duty Of this Government to protect n
State against invasion, aud, when proper
ly called upon, .hom lnsnrreciion and do
nestle violence, is plainly and positively
declared in the Constitutions Ii resulted
from the States surrendering the right to
protect themselves, by Keeping troops of
their own for tina, purpose and was in
the lig ht Of a guaranty and an equivalent
for the surrender Of that righ on the par,
of the separate States. The States,
therefore, have rig hl TO demand such
protection. And that demand cann' be
d snied, when made IN the cases provided
for in the Constitution, without breach
of The national faith.
When our State, then asks the inter-
ference OF the power Of this Government,
II will ask il not as matter OF favor, but
as claim Of right.

referred to. Not one of the interviews was
OF my seeking, nor did any proposition eman-
ate from me. Out ofa just respect to MIR.
Webster, aud other members oi the Cabinet.

Anthony, Harris and Pearce. The interview
referred to in The letter Of Mr.. Allen, was at
the request Of Mr.. Allen. consented TO all
the interviews, and was willing for one. to
accept the proposition, but from the first to
the last, expressed my doubts whether our
friends would view them in the Same light
that did. The propositions were reduced
to writing. not by Inc, as stated by hr' An
thony, but by another person who wished 70
ascertain precisely their terms. ! delivered
them to Mr.. Anthony and Mr.. Harris, in or
der that there should bo no misunderstanding
as to their import. This wos on Tuesday
afternoon, at the meeting first suggested by
Mr.. Allen. Mr.. Anthony and Mr.. Harris
did not inform me ,ha, there was an assem-
blngc of armed men at the house OF MIR. An
thony, for the purpose Of attacking the AZ
senal, but, during that and the preceding IN
tervews, they did state that they had fears
that blood would be spilled, unless their
propositions were accepted. They lett my
house between six and seven o'clock Tues
day evening, and have had 10 conversation
with either Of them since.

great number Of private Bills had passed both
