AT an early hour this morning large

troops were called out, and on approach oil
the steamer every thing presented the ap-
pearance Of tumult and disorder.
On her arrival, however, it was ascer-

had disembarked at Curret St. Mary about
two miles below the city. Some cheers
for the troops were given and the assem-.

The Frankfort Convention, called 10
consider what course it becomes those who
are opposed to The increase and perpetra.
ton ofslavery in this State, to pursue, a.
dopted sundry propositions.
They say-1st. Believing Slavery
as it exists, by law, in Kentucky-injuri-
GUS to the commonwealth, inconsistent
with the fundamental principles OF free
government, contrary to the natural rights
of mankind and that it ought not to be per-
petuated.
I'd. Any scheme of emancipation ought
to be prospective-operating upon the ne
groes born after the adoption of the scheme.
The following points are recommended
to be insisted upon in the new Constitutions:
1st. The absolute prohibition Of the i'm
portation of slaves into the State of Ken
lucky.
I'd. The complete power in the people
of Kentucky to perfect-in or under the
new constitutional system for the grad
ual and prospective emancipation of slaves.

The Canadian Outbreak.

The Detroit Free Press, specializing up
on the final result of the present outbreak
in Canada, says:-"There is extreme Bit
terness existing between the two factions
in Canada, which cannot be smothered in
day, or in year. We have no idea

succeed the present outbreak. 1t will tako
time, but the time is coming. The "Tea"
has been thrown overheard, and nothing
short Of a separation from the home gov
ernment can now put stop to the feeling
which exists. 1t may take years to accom-
plish the separation. The annexationists
have already gone farther than the revo.
lutionists in this country went, at the frs,
outbreak, and had our Canadian neighbors
the same energy of our fore-fathers, they
would stop at nothing short of annihilation
or success.
"The home government may recall Lore
Elgin, and send successor made of differ
ent material, and of different views, and ,
calm may follow, but it will be Of short du
ration. The Canadians, during this littl
outbreak, have unbridled their tongues AM
discussed the advantages and disadvantage
Of separation. They have used language
which can be called treason, by their laws
and for which many arrests have beel
made. If punished, trouble will follow
if acquitted, from motives of policy, it will
embolden others, and the discussion vii
continue. In any view of the subject, Can

ple and those who risked their lives in de-
fence of British connexion. as traitors to
the liberties of their country.
On motion of Robert Hervey, Esq, OF
Maitland Mills:
Resolved, That however offensive and
insulting such declarations were, as ema'
mating from the paid and confidential SER
wants of the Provincial Executive, they
might be borne with for the present; but
when the Royal sanction is given to an
act by which the public taxes are to be
appropriated to reward the rebellious and
misguided men who took up arms against
Her Majesty in 1897 and 1888, this meeting
cannot hesitate to characterize such as an
&C: immorta, in principle, as treacherous
to the Crown, and as tantamount to lega
acknowledgement and justification of re-
bellion.

District, and the other to the President O
Town Corporation, requesting those func

es, this terrible disease will probably spread
over the country. During the ravages of
this malady while it was in this country
before, happily we escaped its terrible rava-
ges, but it may not be so again. At all e.
vents, the necessary precaution should be
taken to provide against it. Cleanliness is
regarded as one of the best safeguards a.
ainst this as well as other maladies. 1t
would be we'll for those who have charge
of the matter, to see that the streets are
kept clear Of filth and dirt; and especially
would it be agreeable to have the frog pond
in the center of our main street filled up; t
would be pleasant to the sight and smell.

built for. and occupied as a market house
st AIMS until the removal of the Gov.

is the property of the city, and was rented
to the Government for about four thousand
dollars per year. The Government ex-
pended large amount in fitting it up for
their accommodation The building was
perhaps worth from fifty to sixty thousand
dollars. That can be rebuilt, but the jour

NEST valuable libraries in this or any other

Mob and Bloodshed at St. Charles, iii.

st. Charles, April l9.
st Charles has been under the supreme
reign of a mob since 10 A. M.
The cause of the outbreak of the sever
eigns of the land was the open and reckless
manner, in which DR.. Richards and his stu
dents have supplied themselves the last few
weeks with subjects for dissection.
A company of men-father, brothers
and husband of young lady, from De
Kalb county, who had recently died came
here on Thursday last, alleging that she had
been resurrected, procured search warrant,
and with Sheriff Yates, searched the dissect-
ing room and premises of DR.. Richards
not finding the body, yet finding enough to
satisfy the relations that she had been there,
and under the hand of the operator, such as
hair and other evidences of ofidentity.
The relatives returned home; we heard
no more from them until this morning about
ten o'clock, when double teams loaded with
men, and men on horse back were seen COM
ing into our town in every direction, until
some two hundred men arrived, with full e.
quipment from rifle to revolver.
cannot give you all the details, but af-
ter some negotiation as to giving up the
body 10 her friends two shots were fired
from Richards house.
This was signal for general battle;
the mob fired in return, one ball taking eli.
feet in Dr.. Richards side and passing out
between the shoulders near the spine an.
mother ball making an entry above the hip
bone of one of the students (Mr Rood }
and passing diagonally through him.
1t was Immediately reported that Rich
ards was dead, but he presented himself u.
gain at the door 10 show his wounds, when
heavy stone hit him on the right side of
the face, which brought him down or near
ly so, at the same time pistol shot took
effect in his right hand or wrist.
The mob then broke all his windows,
and injured his furniture, but now dispers.
ing. The citizens of the town took little
part in the proceedings; such as did,sym-
pathsed with the strangers for this eslab-
lishment has been grievous nuisance for
years.
After dressing the wounded they are
found to be dangerous. Very little pros
poets Of the recovery Of DR.. Richards.

but it has been provoked on by DR.. Rich

This is mistake as to Pittsburgh. No case
of cholera has originated here; and no
steamer, especially the Beacon, quoted as
having been "driven from our wharf," has
been interfered with, or requested to 60 or
stay away. -

Ifhe had only been elected instead of Chase,
they would have been perfectly satisfied.
and if Townsend and Morse had only vot.

have been silent. Yet, Mr.. Giddings, if he

The CHOLERA IN EURoPE.-While In
England and Scotland the ravages Of the
Cholera have been stayed, in Ireland they
have been fearfully fatal. In the city Of
Limerick one thousand had perished Of the
disorder, and many as fifty or sixty dying
every day. At the last accounts, the daily
deaths had fallen to thirty. Throughout
the south of Ireland it has carried off many
OF the inhabitants. In Paris it was still
raging. A Bishop and several members
of the Assembly were its victims.
