TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT. ~ c

" TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT. D Ac-
counts from Lexington (Ky) state that
there was much excitement in that place,
caused by an incendiary article which ap-
peared in the ssTrue American" an aboll-
ton print established there and edited by
Cassus M. Clay, who has obtained great
notoriety as an Abolitionist preacher. Mr..
Clay addressed letter TO the meeting call
ed to determine what course would be best
10 pursue, in which he states that the Of
fensive article had been written by his
friends during his sickness, and that for the
future the paper would be conducted diff
lerently.
The meeting, after an address from T. F.
Marshall, Esq, passed series of resolu-
lions, one of which appointed committee
of sixty persons to take possession of the
office, pack up the materials, and send them
to Cincinnati, subject to the order of Mr..
Clay, which was quietly and peaceably done,
and the immense concourse of persons who
surrounded the office retired.

PORT TOBACCO TIMES.
THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. %, ls45.

CHARLES COUNTY Court is still in ses-
sion; the Hon. Judges DORSEY and MAGRU-
DER upon the bench. We believe there has
been as yet little business of importance
brought before the Court, the cases coming
up in order upon the docket and the most
OF those reached being of minor importance.
There is however a case before the Court
to-day OF importance. 1t is the testing OF
the will of the late Jno Barnes, for num-
Der Of years Clerk of Charles County Court.
in which there is large amount of prop
erty involved.
A bill of Indictment having been found
by the grand jury against Bill Wheeler and
Mark Caesar, for being prime movers and
instigators in the late negro Instruction,
their trial, so soon as the will case is deci-
ded, will come up. By an act of the Leg
islature, the crime of instruction is made
punishable with death and as they are in
dicted for this grave offence, their punish
ment will be in accordance to the law,
should they be convicted.
1t is conjectured that the Court, having
a great deal of unfinished business before
them, will be necessarily compelled to sit
during some part if not the whole of next
week.

A WHOLESALE TRANsACTIoN-The Sun
of Saturday last says rumor has been busy
in our city for couple of weeks past with
a gambling transaction, which has so in
variably presented SO monstrous charac-
ter that we can scarcely credit the details.
1t is alleged that young gentleman of this
city, very respectfully connected with some
of our first merchants in the leather bust
ness, was, two or three weeks since, be-
guiled into house in Light street, where
he was induced to play by these men until
he had lost under their kindly auspices, a
bout $4,000, for which amount he gave
checks on one of the Baltimore banks, be-
ing within $500 or $500 Of all he was
worth. He was then kept engaged, or, as
some say, locked up, until nine O'Clock
the next morning, when, on the opening of
the bank, his checks were presented, and
the whole amount drawn. If it is true, as
related to us, it is strange that no legal
action has been taken by the friends of the
party to protect him from such ruin; and
certainly it is the bounden duty of any
one cognizant of the affair to bring it to
the notice of the grand jury. There can
be scarcely doubt, if rumor has got the
story any thing like the truth, but that the
whole transaction is nefarious fraud

TEXAS AND MEXICO.

TEXAS AND MEXICO.
Important Movement Of Troops-Regusi-
sittcn for Iroops-The caHresponded to.
The New Orleans Bee Extra eff Saturday,
August Is, says: We hasten to lay before
our readers the important intelligence we
have just received, relative TO the movement
of troops for the purpose of protecting the
newly acquired territory of Texas from the
dangers of projected Mexican invasion
Gen. Gaines, now in our city, having re-
ceived authentic information to the effect
that ten thousand Mexican troops were
within eight days march Of Gen. Taylor
who is posted at St. Joseph's Island, imme-
diately despatched messenger to Governor
Mouton, at Pass Christian, claiming a re-
QUESTION of two regiments Of volunteers
(of ten companies each, one to consist OF
infantry and one Of refemen and two
companies Of artillery, with eight field
pieces. The requisition was Immediately
granted, and will be put forthwith into ex-
ecution.
The two volunteer regiments are to be
stationed at the forts and barracks on the
Gulf, subject TO the orders of the Govern
ment; and the United States troops at pre-
sent in garrison at those stations are to be
Immediately transferred to Texas The
two companies of volunteer artillery will
leave on Wednesday, on board the steam
ship Alabama, together with four companies
of United States troops 9th regiment in
fantry), two of which are expected to-mor-
row morning, from Past Christian, under
Captains Moore and Holmes.
The above information may be relied
upon as authentic.
The Picayune, after announcing the facts
contained in the extra Bee, says: The re-
QUESTION was of course Immediately re-
sponded to, and will be put forthwith into
execution. We understand that the whole
artillery force of the city, most effective
and well-armed corps, have volunteered their
services, and that they have been accepted
Our uniformed infantry companies are not
in the mean time, listlessly resting on their
arms; calls for meetings Of the officers OF
the Washington Regiment and Louisiana
Volunteers may be seen in our paper to-
day. In fact the question will not be, Who
will be suffered to remain at home? but,
Who will be permitted TO enrol themselves
amongst them, the defenders of their coun-
trymen beyond the Sabine Before to-
morrow's sun ascends the meridian, the
draft, in mercantile phrase, will be honored,
and were it numerically ten times the a
mount which it is, it would be met with
the same alacrity and good will.

APPLICATION FOR A DIVORCE The
Richmond papers contain a notice of S. C.

Tuesday afternoon last the candidates
for Congress, Messrs. CHAPMAN and KEY,
addressed their friends in this village, and
together opened the campaign. Of the me-
rits of these gentlemen, as they are no
doubt we'll if not intimately known to the
voters of this district, it is needless to speak.
But political prediction aside, we know
not which to choose-they are both, SO far
as our judgment is capable of discerning,
men of high caste of talent and moral
worth, and therefore we'll deserving of the
station TO which they aspire.
We can but admire the cordiality and
good feeling which was manifested on the
occasion between these two candidates
they met as old and long-tried friends, and
discussed the national policies of their re-
spective parties with calm and dispassionate
feelings, such feelings as should ever per-
wade the bosom of our public men, show
ing clearly that an honest difference of OPT
Mon is no cause for strife.

POLITICAL STRENGTH IN THE NEXT Con-
GREss.-Thc next Congress (the 29th) will
be composed of two hundred and seventy
eight members, excluding Texas, viz: fifty
four Senators and two hundred and twenty
four Representatives. According to tables
compiled by the Journal of Commerce, it
would appear that of the actual members OF
the Senate at this date, "a are Wings and
26 Democrats. Four States, Indiana, Ten
nessee, Virginia and Mississippi, are to elect
one Senator each, and will probably send
Democrats. These will give the Democratic
party six majority in the Senate. The last
House Of Representatives contained sixty
eight Wings and one hundred and forty-two
Democrats. There have been two hundred
and ten members of the next House elected
who stand seventy-six Wings, one hundred
and twenty EIGHT Democrats, and six Ma
tives. There remain to be elected fifteen
members, viz: six from Mary land, four from
Mississippi, one from Florida, and one Ito
fill vacancies) from each of the States Of
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and
New Jersey-the one from Florida and the
four from Mississippi, which elect by gene
raj ticket, will probably be Democrats, max
ing 1873 Democrats in the House, and CIV
ing them large majority of the members.
From this state Of parties the administra-
ton, it is evident, will be we'll sustained in
all its movements of a party character, and
may carry almost any measures, excepting
perhaps the modification and reduction Of
the tariff; against which almost the entire
delegation from Pennsylvania will probably
vote. If they should vote against that mea-
sure, the parties will then be nearly balanc-
ed indeed, and the vote be very close one.

A DIPLoMATIsT.-Mr. Stiles, of Georgia,
Charge to Austria, has appointed N. P. Will

embassy. This has induced Mr.. w. to
change somewhat his European route, and

tons in his travels.

EMIGRATION TO L1BERIA.-The N. Y.
Sun Of recent date, says: We understand
that a number of intelligent colored people
in this city talk of sending out committee
to Liberia to examine the condition of the
country, and if found advisable, to select
a site for colony. Liberia is now to the
colored people what the Western Territory
was to the whites some years ago-a land
of promise. When they once get know
ledge of the great advantages secured to
themselves and families by settling in Libe-
ria, few will remain in the United States.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, under date Of the 23d inst,
gives the following in relation to the trial
and commitment of Elliot before Mags-
trate's court relative to shooting William Z.
Kendall, son of Amos Kendall of that city.
1t will be remembered we gave brief no.
tice of it in our last. 1t appears Elliot has
been indicted upon two counts-for an
assault upon Josias H. Bailey with intent to
kill and for killing Kendall.
Yesterday morning Gen. Jones resumed
his argument in this case, rehearsing the
statements of the witnesses with that ex-
traordinary tact and ingenuity for which
he is so distinguished.
Mr.. Philip R. Fendall followed upon the
same side, and gave the weight of his elo-
quence and vast experience as criminal
lawyer TO the discharge of the prisoner.
This gentleman particularly applied himself
to an analysis of BaiIey's deposition, and
with much warmth contended the contents
of it was contradicted by his acts. He
closed with a beautiful and touching remark
concerning the grave of poor Kendall, and
hoped that in the discharge of his duty he
had not rudely stepped upon it.
At half past O'Clock Mr.. Hoban COM
menced his closing address; and for near
Iy three hours held the great crowd in
breathless attention by his powerful effort
for the prosecution. He again analysed
the evidence, and in the minds of many
established the fact that Elliot fired once

In our paper of to-day will lie found the
Resolutions passed at public meeting ofthe
citizens ofour sister county St. Mary's, held
at Leonardtown on the 18th inst for the pur-
pose of adopting measures relative to the
better security and control of the colored
population of that county. The meeting
was addressed by Messrs. H. G. S. Key, ].
NJ. S. Causin, B. G. Harris, VIM. !. Black
istone, and Jas. T. Blackstone, urging upon
the citizens of St. Mary's county to carry
out these resolutions, and of using every
legal means to secure a rigid execution of
the laws relative to free negroes and slaves.
One Of the resolutions causes a Committee
of Vigilance to be appointed for each cleo
ton district to consist of ten members. We
believe the organization Of a vigiant COM
mittee TO watch over the negroes and see
that they are not influenced or corrupted
by designing and villainous knaves, to be
greatly efficient, and no doubt will have a
tendency to suppress all disatfection among
them. Therefore we say, in regard to our
Committee Of Vigilance, let only such men
be appointed as can be fully relied upon.
