policemen started for Berne, among the lieder-
burg mountains, for the purpose Of arrestng the
rngleaders of the anti rent party, who had tarred
and feathered f. M. Fish last April. The police
we're armed to the teeth. They reached the
place Of their destination about o'clock this
morning, and breaking into the house OF the two
Turner'S, the principals in the outrage, arrested
and carried them Off The anti-rent war cry
was then sounded, ard large party soon as

after proceeding some distance, were stopped by

manded the release of their prisoners. This
was refused, and upon the police drawing their
pistols and threatening to use them, the anti
renters retired, breathing threats of vengeance.

The Legislature Of Alabama adjourned on
Tuesday last. The Montgomery Journal, in
noticing the doings Of the legislature, says,
Politically, the session has been humbug."
Though coming with at least forty Union
or compromise majority, the whole tendency Of
matters has been averse to the decision Of the
people last August, owing either TO the wretched
bad management of the Union majority, or to
the treason Of some Of its members.
aOur gallant Union senator has been sacrificed,
and as far as we can learn, by the treason Of
professed friends from his own section. South
Alabama stood up to the last. For this whole
