RENEWAL OF THE WAR IN RHODE ISLAND
MILITARY CALLED OUT.

The State of Rhode Island again plunged INTO
troubled waters We cannot believe that there Is
any serious danger of violence and boodsh ; put
certain it is that there is general armlng oil the ct-
on both sides and when parties so intensely ex
cited meet each other with deadly weapons IN ther
hands, there is it must be confessed too much reason
for alarm.
1t is impossible without great deal of sitting, to
get 1t the true of facts from the publications m
the Providence papers. The Express, the organ OIL
the Suffrage party profess entire ignorance IN regard
all the movements that have given rise TO the ru
mors of war in the other Iapers. AL the same tme
il declares that the members Of the party have mol
been supine for month pastthat they have prepar-
ed to defend themselves against the military despo
tism that rules the Statc-that "they are well APP
pointed, well organized and well armed, lof the
council or the camp" Our friend Of the Chronicle,
who processes to be neutral, is terribly frightened
again ne is in cold sweat, and shakes like poplar
leaf his eyes full of ghosts, and those internal
twelve Founders" still ringing in his ears, albeit
they have gone away to New Orleans, and perhapsto
Texas, instead of Providence. But the Chronicle
man has one good trait; he continues to exhibit ms
generous feelings for the softer sex his concern Is
not for hmself he does not fear for his own plood
and bones, but for the 6 honor oil our wives ana
daughters He should remember that II Is the Go
pernnent and not the comen that the suffrage men
are after. The Providence Journal IS the organ OF
the Charter party all It aims at is to make Out nor
rble against the suffrage men; and nctoi., II y
answers this end is quite agreeable to II as truth
Our readers will perceive the difficulty OF obtaining
clear and sober facts from such sources we shaii,
| however, by the aid of private correspondence anu
such accounts are generally confirmed, ehoeaNor
to give an curate history of events as they occur
/ On Wednesday night the confused and alarming
reports from various quarters had produced lneise
! agitation in Providence There had been military
trainings at Chepachet Woonsocket, Diamond nm,
and other places Two or three hundred men had
been under arms and cannon had been openly trans
ported to and fro through the streets. Several men
/ had been arrested on the road between Providence
and Woonsocket and their character and business
inquired into. Ammunition had been stolen, ana
| cartridges were being prepared Gov Dorr hao
landed at Norwich with small party OF friends as
stated by yesterday, and It was believed TO De ms
! intention TO proceed Immediately to Chepatchet and
establish his headquarters there
From, the account of this matter IN the Chronicle,
on, would suppose that Gov Dorr was about 10 m
wade Rhode island with army from New York
nearly as large as that which Napoleon marched 10
| Moscow. Now, in reference TO this rumored inva-
sion from New York. we have word to say, IL is
false from beginning to end. Even he magnliylng
| Journal does not pretend that Gov. Dorr had more
than twenty friends with him, and we know that on
the day before he said to have arrived at Norwich
there several Of his friends from Providence IN
| this city. We and conversed with some oil them
personally and learned that they intended to leave
that afternoon We subsequently learned upon un-
doubted authority, that they did leave and Gov.
/ Dorr with hem. There were not dozen IN all
Some two or three gentlemen from this city may
have been accidentally their travelling companions.
And this is the great invading army from New York
4 that has again thrown the Chronicle into fits
/ The proceedings of the General Assembly at New
port on Wednesday had no reference to the right of
suffrage and were of no general interest, except that
few petitions upon the subject were referred to
the select committee
On Thursday Gov. King arrived post haste from
Newport at Providence. The excitement and alarm
at the latter place greatly increased by his ssu-
ing order calling out all the military and directing
them to parade al half past three O'Clock IN the alter
noon, at their respective places of rendezvous, to
created a violent ferment in the public mind, which
continued to increase up to the moment that lhe
boat left
