The report OF five rifles was heard simulta-

the order to fire.
The man whose life was so mysteriously
and unexpectedly saved, as soon as he reno
we'd the rope from his neck, went into the
woods and shouted for his friends.
But they had dispersed as suddenly and
mysteriously as they came.
This act will be made the excuse for arrest

We saw yesterday evening a gentleman
Just from the scene of disturbance in Kansas.
He represents the state the country as truly
deplorable. Nowhere was life or property
safe, and robberies and assassinations were of
daily occurrence. The Free State men in
the interior were starving, all access to the
river being cut off by armed bands stationed
along all the avenues of travel. Their cattle
and provisions had been carried off in large
quantities by emigrants from Georgia and
Alabama, who demanded them at the point of
the bayonet On Monday evening last Meth
odist preacher suddenly disappeared in the
neighborhood of Westport, under circumstan-
ces which led to the conclusion that fatal vio-
lence had been used. He had been taken
prisoner by some Pro-Slavery men, but moth
ing appearing against him he was discharged
from custody. Leaving the town he was fol-
lowed by party of men, who, on their return,
reported that he chad got into the river at
place too deep for him to cross" The impress
sion was that he had been hung.
We learn further, from the same source,
that the extra publisher by us yesterday, from
the Kansas Enterprise, giving an account Of q
battle between some Pro-Slavery and Free
Soil men, abounds in Misrepresentation.
Captain II. Clay Pate, who was reported dead,
was not injured, and McGee, who was placed
in the same category, was not seriously hurt.

Mr.. EVERETT on THE SUMNER OUTRAGE
| Mr.. Everett, in his Introductory remarks to
| the delivery Of his Grafton on Washington, in
| Taunton, recently made the following allusion
| to the assault upon Senator Sumner:
| After alluding to the pleasure with which
| he always dwelt on the theme of Washington,
he continued rs follows But, with the salts
| faction which feel in addressing you this e.
yening, are mingled the most profound ankle
ty and gref-a sadness which strive in vain
to suppress, overwhelms me at the occurrences
! of the past week, anG serious apprehension
forces itself upon my mind that events are e.
ven now in train, with an impulse too mighty
to be resisted, which will cause our beloved
country to shed tears of blood through all her
borders for generations to come. Civil war,
with all its horrid trains of pillage and slaugh-
ter, carried without the slightest provoca-
tion against the infant settlements of our bre-
thren on the frontiers of the Union, the worse
than civil war raging for months unrcbuked at
the Capital, has at length with lawle violence
of which there is no parallel in the annals of
our constitutional government, stained the
floor OF the Senate Chamber with the blood of
adefenccless man, the Senator from Massachu-
sets.
Oh! my good friends, these are events
which, for the good name, the peace and salty
of our country, it were worth all the gold of
California to blot from the record. They sick
en- the heart of the patriot. of the good citi-
zen and of the Christian. They awaken the
gloomy doubt, whether the tolls, the sacrifi-
ces, and the sufferings of our fathers for the
sake of founding higher, purer, and freer
civilization on this Western Continent than
the world had yet seen, have not been in vain
For myself, they fill me with sorrow too deep
for tears. l sorrow not for myself. My few
remaining years are running too rapidly to a
close to allow me to attach much Importance
to anything this side of the grave, which con-
Germs me individually. But sorrow far be-
yond the power of words to express, for the |
objects of my affection which leave behind
For my children and my country grieve f; |
and God is my witness, that if, by laying down |
my poor life this hour, I could undo what has |
been done within the last two years, beginning |
with the disasterous repeal of the Missouri |
Compromise, / would willingly, cheerfully |
make the sacrifice. Di d 1 not think there is a |
healing charm in the name of Washington, |
and that attachment and veneration for his |
character, which is almost the only remaining
kindly sentiment that pervades the whole
country, and that in the contemplation of that
character, there is spirit of wisdom to guide,
and love to soothe and unite, would even
now throw myself upon your indulgence, to
excuse me from the duty of the evening.

love the evening twilight hour,
The time TO meditation given,
All nature meath lis soothing power
Seems beautiful and blest of heaven.
'Tis In this hour TO us so dear,
Our loved ones to the hearth-stone come,
And then how sweetly, sadly near,
Seem all the sacred ties of home.
This hour seems fitting, choicest, best,
4 To dwell on all we love beneath;
II leads our thoughts to lands more blest,
To those once loved, laid low in death.
The shades of evening gathered fast,
Nights sable curtains close us in;
do we with deep, heart-searching prayer,
Know that no guile is found within.
OH may we as each day fits by,
As each succeeding eve appears,
Feel that our record is on high, ..a
And answered are our suppliant tears.
And when with us life's sun has set,
And deaths deep shades to US are given;
Grant us, o God in that dark hour,
A holier light, the light of heaven.

A Scene at TenalIytown.

Mr.. EDITOR: At Tenallytown, a few days since,
the Sag NIGHTS raised pole in honor of Buchnn-
an On the occasion there was gathering of per-
sons from Washington and the adjacent county
but let it be remembered that this gathering was
small. The frail platform, typical of that upon
which the Sag NIGHTS always stand was occupied
by the ladies and the speakers. Among the speak
ers was distinguished functionary from the me-
tropois ofthe Union, and ID is Of him that we would
be pleased to speak on the present occasion. He
was an athletic parsonage, not very symmetrical in
the arrangement of his fair proportions for there
was in his rear huge obese protuberance, devel-
oping an uncommon amplitude Of bulbous muscle,
and bis unclassical physiognomy looked like burn
ing coal particularly the apex of is nasal adjunct.
From all human appearances this child of larger
growth was evidently SO highly charged with fluid
as to very sensibly disturb bis equilibrium
Like Capitolian Jove, he was called upon to
launch forth his tburders. By superhuman eff
fort he succeeded in reaching the front of the
stand, and attempted to address the assembled
multitude, as follows:
Friends and fellow -hic-ctizens: appear be.
fore you--hic-hem under very neutrality-suspicious.

sarily compelled to address you. Beck-ha-hicl
declare this atmosphere Of Tenallytown has so af-
fected my bronchials that l can scarcely articu-
Iate--hic !"
And thus he went on until climax was reached
do not mean rhetorical climax, but climax
produced by the confined operations of disturbed
nature, in which the lymphatics and other vessels
OF the human system were most energetically con-
cerned. He turned from the audience in front of
the stand, and faced the ladies Nature, the great
mistress Of all human events, must be obeyed;
and, with an idiotic smile upon his glowing coun-
tenance, he leered at the ladies' as much TO say
