The charge made in the Springfield

a Catholic and STAKEHOLDER, is thus met by
the Hon. c. G. Chaffee, American Repub-
lican member of Congress from the 10th
Massachusetts, District:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Washington, D. c., April %, 1856.
To the Editors Of the Springfield RepuJlj-
can:
The following note sent to the Ameri-
can on the 9th inst, and again on the 18th.
Not seeing it in that paper, conclude they
do not intend to publish it; and as it is
simple act of justice on my part to correct
the Misrepresentation, I ask you to publish
it:
40 the Springfield Daily american:
81 notice in your paper of the 18th inst,
you call John G. Fremont a Catholic and
stakeholder This is simply untrue. Col.
F. is a member of the Protestant Episcopal
Church is not a STAKEHOLDER, and IS intense
ly opposed to the further extension Of STA
'pery. Respectfully yours,
&c. c. CHAFFEE."

Exciting from Kansas.
Governor Robinson held in Custody-Re
der aInder arrest.


der under ArreSt.
St. Louis, May II.
The steamer Star of the West arrived
to day from Kansas, and the following in
formation is derived from passengers. =
The steamer left Kansas on Saturday the
10th, Gov Robinson and family being
among the passengers. AT Lexington, No,
Governor Robinson was called upon by a
committee appointed by the citizens, and
notified that they should detain him on the
ground, that he was fleeing from the Terri
tory to avoid arrest on an Indictment of
treason, which had been found against him
by the Grand Jury of the U. S. District
Court. Gov. Robinson replied that he had
been informed by one of the Grand Jury
that an attempt had been made to find a
bill but failed. This did not satisfy the
Committee. They insisted that Mr.. Rob
inson should remain, and finally did so. The
Committee agreed to send messenger to
Kansas to ascertain if an Indictment had
been found; if not, all the expenses of Mr..
Robinson's detention werc TO be paid. The
Committee consisted of Mr.. Sawyer and a
number of the most respectable citizens.
1t is reported that dispatch from Leay-
enworth has been received, stating that an
armed body were en- route for Lawrence for
the purpose of destroying the evidence tax
en- by the committee while Gov. Reeder
was in attendance at the session Of the
Committe of Investigation.
AT Lecompton, on the evening of the
Sth, the Deputy Marshal served on him
(Gov. Reeder) a writ to appear before the
Grand Jury at Lecompton to answer to a
charge of contempt for having refused to
comply with summons from the Grand
Jury, previously served upon him. Mr..
Reeder refused to obey the writs, and ap-
pealed to the Congressional Committee,
but they decided that they had no power
in the case.

The long talked of Railway from Detroit
to Toledo now promises to be built. A
meeting of stock holders was held in De
troit lately and a board Of enterprising di-
rectors elected. The AdUertiser says of the
road and its prospects of an carly compile
ton: "While in session it was the unani-
nous voice of all that the work shall be
carried on to completion as rapidly as pos
siblc, and active steps were made towards
securing the right of way, which in some
casos on this end of the road, has been diff
cult. But Notwithstanding all opposition,
it is expected that the road to Toledo will
be completed as carly as October next" p
So may it be!

and, this morning, publishes statement of
her husbands detention at Lexington. 1t
says: "Robinson was going East on per-
sonal business, and denies that he knew of
the Indictment previous to his leaving the

The Coal Bank Disaster.

Tho excitement all along the Muskingum
river, consequent upon the burying of the
four men in the coal bank at Blue Rock ap-
pears to have been intense. The whole
valley was aroused, and at times from one
to two thousand persons were present to
witness the heroic efforts of the workmen to
rescue their brother miners from their per
ilous situation. The names of the persons
entombed were, Edgin, Savage, Getwood
and Pearson. Eighty men, in gangs of
eight, were engaged day and night constant
" for two weeks, and much of the time the
work was prosecuted With but little hopes of
success.
On Friday last the disheartening labor
of the men was cheered by knocking from
within, and soon after faint halloo gave
indisputable evidence that the confined pris-
oners were alive. The work continued un-
til Saturday morning, at one o'clock, when
the four men were brought out to their over
Ijoyed families and friends.
A public meeting has been called in
GAINESVILLE to give expression to the public
feeling upon this exciting subject, and to
raise contributions to pay the heroic work
men for their labors.-O. S. Journal.

The NEGRO RESURRECTION AT GAINESVILLE, Tenn.
AND HopK1NsrILLE, KY. -- Much excitement has
existed recently in different portions of Tennessee,
Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas, in relation to eX-
pected slave Instructions In several places the
existence of such plots has been discovered and the
ringeaders punished severely. In the neighborhood
of Louisa Furnace, near GAINESVILLE, Tenn. an attempt
was made to blow up church, a key of gunpowder
having beeu placed under it. The following extract
from GAINESVILLE letter, dated Nov. IS, gives the
main particulars
The plot was discovered near Hopkinsvi1e, Ky, by
gentleman who found stock of 500 fire arms
near that place Some of the negroes in the neigh
borhood where the arms discovered, were taken
up and whipped very severely. They implicated some
negroes in Dover (Stewart county, Tcnn.) and when
they were punished, they implicated some thirty ne
groes at the mill Cumberland Iron works.) They
were Immediately arrested, and We're made to tell the
whole plot. Some of the favorte servants, (at the
Iron Works,) who have been greatly INDUCED, were
in the plot and had to be whipped very severely be-
fore they would reveal any thing Mike, negro
whom you would never have suspected of such a
thing received four hundred lashes before he would
speak word They all told the same story about it.
The plot was this they were to kill Mr.. Lewis the
manager) and family, your brother Henry aud my
SELF and then the balance of the whites on the place;
after they had accomplished this they were to march
in body to Clarksvile-kling all OF the whites they
could on the wayrob the bank, kill the inhabitants,
burn the town, and then fight their way through to
free State. Did you ever hear of such horrible
plot

FROM SANTA FE.-The mail from Santa Ne arrived

FROM SANTA FE--The mail from Santa Fe arrived
at Independence, Mo-, on the 22d ult bringing full
files Of the Santa Fe Gazette. The following are the
only items of interest:
A large amount of stock was stolen by the Kowa
Indians from the vicinity of Las Vegas. They also
destroyed some fields of corn in the same vicinity.
On another occasion they brutally violated the per-
sons of two young females. The Gazette speaks of
Gov Merriwether's neglect Of duty in no very com
pmentary terms in connection with these outmges.
From the mail conductor we learn that great
number of the citizens of Santa e had left for the
gold mines. There seems to be little doubt but that
gold exists on the ella i'll greater quantities than
even in the richest portions of California.
