From, The Petersburg inteiFgrnccr
We are sorry Mr.. Brooks dirtied his cane by
laying it athwart the shoulders of the blackguard
Sumner. We regret that he did so. not that sum
ncr got lick amlSs, not because he was not
justly entitled to all he got and more beside but
because the nasty scamp ans! his co-scamps will
make capital for their foul out of the affair."
They will raise howl which will split the public
ear about the violation of the privileges of de-
bate, Southern bullyism, &c. Master Horace
Greeley in particular will jump out of his
boots and breeches, have about four thousand fits,
and thus put up the price of asafetia ami burnt
feathers throuI hout the country. Disagreeing
with the Richmond Wing as to the effect Of Sum
ncr's thrashng, we entirely concur with it, that
if thrashing is the only remedy by which the foul
conduct of the Abolitonsts can be controlled.
that 1t will be very well to give Seward Il double
dose at least every other day until it operates
freely upon his political bowels. 1t is true that
the cunning rascal is little too smart to violate
the dccorum of debate, but his adroit dcmagogu-
ism and damnable doctrines are infinitely more
dangerous to the country than the coarse black
gu1rdism of the per ur2d wretch, Sumner, who
will, to his dying dav, remember that hi Brooks
is not the stunning Brooks that one Shakspeuc

y NRGINiAN VIEW OF THE ASSAULT on SENATOR
SUMNER--JrsrlFicAToN OF BRooKs.--The tcle-
graph has recently announced no information
more grateful to our feelings than the classical
Gaming which this outrageous AbOlitionst re-
caivcd on Thursday ut the hands of the CHI Various
Brooks OF South Carolina. 1t is enough for
''gcntlemcn' to bear TO be compelled To associ-
ate with such character as Sumner, and to be
bored with the stupid and arrogant dogmas with
which his harangues Invariably abound but
when, in gross violation Of senatorial courtesy
and in defiance of public opinion, the unscrupu-
lous Abolitionist undertakes to heap upon the
head of 4 venerable Senator Vulgar TRADE of
calumny, no punishment is adequate to n proper
restraint of his insolence but Il deliberate cool.
dignifed and classical Gaming. The only regret
we have is that the chastiscment was not post
poncd until Sumner had left the Senate. The
Senate Chamber would thus have been prevented
from being the scene of such an exhibition, and
the cowardly Abo,itionist would he favored with
IN opportunity-of which there can be no doubt
he would have ayailed himsclf--to make his
escape.

PEACE HATH HER VICTORIES NO LESS THAN
WAR.-Mr. Charles Sumner, Senator from Mas
sachusetts, whose reputation scholar rests
chiefly upon discourse the foregoing
text, seems bent upon illustrating his theory
in his own person. He concludes u two days
discharge of scholarly plati,udes and pedantic
dullnes. by venting filthy stream of billings
gate Oh heads hoary with age; answers insult
from men who would afford him personel salts
faction with vulger epithet; and when cancd for
eowardly vituperations falls to the floor an IMAM
Innate lump of incarnate cowardicc, and a most
glorious exampler of the man of peace.

Mr.. Brooks, of South Carolina. after the adjourn
ment OF the Senate on yesterday, administered
to Senator Sumner the notorious and foul mouth

The only regret we feel is that Mr.. Brooks did
not employ horsc-whip or cowhide upon his
slanderoaS back, instead of cane. We trust
the ball may be kept in motion. Seward aud
Others should catch it next.
THE RWER.-The water in the Mississippi and
Minnesota still continues to fail. River emigrants
are on their way East.
