IMPORTANT PROM RHODE ISLAND There will
certainly be movement made by the Suffrage party
headed by Dorr, to take possession OF Rhode lsanc
in very few days. There is every indication of il
in our advices from that section Munitions of wal
are stolen every night, and companies are forming
in all the principal towns. And about the iih oi
July we may expect to hear of something rich. H.
the meantime we give the following =
From Providence Journal June %
We have seen letter. dated Norwich Wednesday
ming, which states that Thomas w. Dorr had arrived In
that city in the steamboat Newhaven from New York,
eitleman who came on in the boat with him. and TO
whom Mr.. Dorr was pointed out The gentleman did not
know Mr. D)rr We think there is doubt of the fact OF
his arrival Ii reported that he proceeded
Chepache but Of the truth Of lhis, not able to
speak positively His arrival corresponds with the
rent that has been aoat for several days that he
would make his appearance here Oh Thursday
There was rumor in town this morning, that the
General Assembly now in session a. Newport intend TO

hrmed-although it may be founded in fact.
An attempt was made on Tuesday to rescue

Mn. BENNETT:
lament TO say that the expectations which were
entertained here during the two three weeks i'm
mediately succeeding our absent Governors dis
comilure, that the existing difficulties would be
speedily and amicably arranged, and peace and
qu!etness restored 10 the State, are very far from
being realized. The suffrage party are firing up
again in way that pretty plainly indicates that they
don't intend TO have their boat beaten. Meetings
are being held by them nlghrly-oaths admins
tered-companles formed and stray cannon hooked

rem, few nights ago, (well liquored up) and at
tempted TO get possession OF couple of brass pieces
belonging to the Warren Artillery. Owing to some
uncertainty to where they were kept they did not
succeed but after breaking open several buildings,
including small barn containing the village hearse,
they fled AN alarm having been given the watch.
One of the men, see by today's Journal, has been
captured and in an attempt made by his comrades
to rescue him, had his pantaloons torn Off
handsome work! Duty Greene's powder-house, a
massive stone building with strong iron doors,
ofpowder Q20o lbs.) carried off by nobody knows
who, to nobody knows where. Four locks were
broken in order to get at the powder An attempt
was made last evening, also, TO hook an eight poun-
der from the machine shop of Fale Il jerks, at Cen
trail Fails. But the firm got wind Oft, and it was
no go. Two boxes containing eighty muskets have
us been brought over the Norwich road, directed
TO one of his absent Excellencys warmest friends.
Boston, loaded with tents sufficient for four hundred
men. In short the Suffrage men all on the move
gain. On the other hand the ''landholders'' are
lying round in way that is truly astonishng-form
ing themselves into "City Guards" ''Sea Fenci-
dies, Marine Artillery Men," Dragons and
all sorts of things, drilling, parading, and firing,
night aud day. Every body is in a "high state
Of discipline" as the phrase is Churches deserted,
and members gone to drill" Pistols and musket-

MOI peace for the wicked"
1t is expected that Gov. Derr will be here speedily
with his sword-that he will join his friends IN
Woensocket or patchet-assemble his Legislature
=" fill vacancies" and go ahead Whether the
party mean to make stand at Woonsocket or Che
,atchet, (cose by the Connecticut lne) or whether
they mean to attac the city from various points,
ant say All know about 1t is, that the 4th Of
machinery, and decorations in style hitherto un
'recedented. And it will not be surprising if the
" fireworks" particularly are got up on very ex
ensive scale, without the slightest regard to ex.
,ense!' The fact is, hell bent for ca,
ace here, and no mistake
Steamer Providence brought company of U. S.
Flying Artillery to Fort Adams, yesterday. Eighty
men, forty horses and six field pieces.
