LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM

ceve bv this days mail will probably be, that
the entire Sdfffage party 10 this Stale IL disbsn
ded aud anniAilaled. and various other rIdcu-
louS reports too bumgrous 10 mention. But
dOn'l believe them. Gov. DORIS troops have
been on the, ground, true 10 h,m and the causs,
since his arrival in this CITY from Washington
But the LandhOlder's party have obtained a
temporary triumph, by resort to one Of the
most coWardly and dastardy s'ratagems that
dlsgraCed the annals Of Indian warfare. No
attempt was made 10 arrest Gov. DOrr,
during yesterday though the most lerociOus
threats we're made to that effect Understand
that mos, honorable proposition was made
BY Gov. d. to The other party fofa peaceful
and immediate settlement Of the whole difficult
ty, but it was sent back as not agreed 10. Mr..
DIS men continued 10 arrive until midnighl,
and large force had accumulated.
In The morning of To-day the Algerines hav-
ing become completely reinforced, sent uPby
prominent Suffroge, man, the most positive
assurance that they we're ready 10 move IN an
honorable manner towards adjusting the mat
ter assuring them that no more arrests under
the Algerine law should be made, &c. All
this threw the companies completely off their
guard. Orders were given to allow the men
peaceably 10 depart 10 their homes; and by The
advice of Mr.. Doris friends he was induced 10
leave the city for short time, to obtain rest
and await the final adjustment of The whole
matter. The officers of the companies had
left, and only few men remained without any
organization, making preparations 10 retire.
But all This proved mere stalagem-an ar
mistice to produce disorder amOng the PeO-
pIe's ranks, for the purpose Of exhibiting their
courage against an unarmed foe Mr. Harris
had received from King the promise that he
wou ID appear personally and make recOnca-
ton among The people and from the window
of the house Of Sheriff Armstrong made !hem
an address to that effect. Pending this exPec
tation on the part Of the people, King made
his appearance in company with the County
Sheriff, Mr.. Potter, and as he approached the
house the people gave way in the most respect
fll msnner. He entered the house with hat
in hand. and supposiDg him 10 have come with
the olive branch Of peace, the people greeted
him with three cheers.
He aecended to the upper window Of the
house in company with The Sheriff, made a
respectful bow to the ihrong outside, and then
addressed Them as follows: i have come here
in company with The Sheriff with preCept for
Thomas W. Dor; am informed that be is not
in the house; presume you are willing he
should make the necessary SEARCH
To this most unexpected address shout,

inslinclVety stepped aside 10 save my own
head, and hearing rushing in below, the Gov.
