From the New York Tribune Extra
Important from Rhode Island

Intelligence received this morning friday
from Providence, confirms the fears expressed
yesterday ofrenewed disturbance and outrage
in Rhode-Island. From the energies and de-
cided proceedings Of the lawful authorities, it
is evident that the adherents of Dorr are pre-.
pairing for new acts of agitation and violence.
We learn that on Thursday Gov. KING left
Providence in The Massachusetts at | o'clock
for Newport. He ordered all the Militia ofihe
State 10 proceed to Providence The steamer
Providence had been chartered, and would take
The troops from Newport, Bristol, Warren and
other towns on the River-so that 5000 men
were expected 10 he under arms at Providence
to-day. They will march without delay IN Che
pachet, sixteen miles distant the headquarters
Of Dorr and his adherenls. II was generally
believed that Providence would be placed under
martial law tonight, These facts we learn
from officers of The steamboat Massachusetts
We think i, not unlikely that the principal OBJ
ice, of the rebeious pariiZans of Dorr in these
demonstrations is 10 create q fresh excitement
which shall prevent the Legislature from pass
ing any acts favorable TO The extension Of the
right of Suffrag ge-as that would at once frus-
traie all their schemes of lawIess violence. We
trus, that these considerations will MOI be al
lowed to influence the members of the General
Assembly-bul that the steps already taken to-
wards calling Convention Of the people TO re-
wise the Constitution will al once be carried into
full effect. This course alone will save the
State from continued anarchy and disorder
We have received the following slip from the
Office OF The Providence Journal:

MOST DIABOLICAL. OUTRAGE.
Messrs. c. j. Shelly, J. C. Keep c. A. Har-
rs, and S. w Peckham were stopped on The
highway near Chepache, last Wednesday eve
ming, by some of Doris armed ruflians. The
two latter were met by patrol on horseback,
about quarter of mile from the village. One
of the patrol Immediately started for the village,
and sixteen men, with muskets, stopped the
chaise in which Messrs. Harris and Peckham
were riding: one Of them jumped upon the steps
and exclaimed, "lhey are damned landholders;
let's ares, them AT this, the party pointed
their muske,s al them, their arms were taken
from them, and they were carried 10 Sprague's
tavern, where, with the Two first named, their
hands were bound behind them with cords, and
the four were marched on foot to Woonsocke,
twelve miles distant under guard of 80 men.
Half of This distance they were marched with
their hands lied behind them. Al Woonsocket
they were put in barn, and supplied with food.
In the morning they were liberated, 1t is sup
posed, by the iniercession Of Mr.. West, who,
although one of Mr. Doris men, appears not 10
have made up his mind 10 a highway robbery
Some OF The men were alarmed at the probable
effect of This outrage, and as report was in
circulation that fotcc would be Instantly senl
from Providence, 'hs undoubtedly had great
effec, in procuring iher release. Their arms
were no, restored Il Is impossible 10 describe
the sensation which the news of arrest caused
in the city, and which had increased 10 aterri-
Die hight, when il was partially relieved by the
intelligence of their release.
One of the men upon whom this outrage was
committed being exhausted with The painful
march, was urged on by the bayonet, with which
he was repeatedly pricked, until, being faint
into wagon The others were also abused
and insulsed during their march
Ii is to be considered that the men upon
whom this outrage was committed, were not
accused OF any offence, even according TO DORIS
constitution, nor were they arrested by any
warrant or other authority. The only charge
against them was, lha! they were damned land
holders"
Two gentlemen, who were riding near Woon-
socket on Wednesday evening last, were stop
ped by eight men with muskets They instant
iy drew their pistols and the scoundrels step
ped back; one OF them struck the horse with
such violence as to break his musket. They
screamed out stop Them" aud number of peo-
pie ran oul with muskeis, but they did not sue
ceed in stopping them again.
Auoher Of The men engaged in the attempt
TO steal the Warren guns, has been arrested and
carried 10 Bristol. More will probably be Ia
ken very soon.
Twelve hundred pounds Of scrap boiler-iron
