Kansas Incident.

We were handed the following statement
made by Mr.. Hindle, witness of the scene,
dated Lawrence, May %. 1t illustrates that
the tender mercies of the Ruffians are but
cruelty:
81 saw Mrs. Mundell, a sister of G. w.
Brown, 60 to Jones and ask him if he had
wife, if he had Children father and
mother" He replied yes. Then, said she,
"for Gods sake have mercy on me-" and
while tears were streaming down her cheeks,
her eyes fixed steadily on his, Jones replied,
with scowl, "Madam, am acting under
orders" Mrs. Mundell again addressed
him: "My husband is gone and my brother
is prisoner, and have no one to protect
me and my home. Oh my God, save me
from this mob" and turning about she
walked a few rods and fell upon my Shout
der, exclaiming, "Mr Hindle, will you see
me butchered by these fends 2" l replied,
"No, / will die before l will see you injured,
and led her into her own house but find
ing it not safe for her there, persuaded her
to leave and go to her mothers, west of the
rayine, about half mile distant. 1 gather
ed up a few articles of bedding, forced a
way through the mob, and reached her mo-
theirs in safety.-AtOn Courier.

occasioned by the assault upon Mr.. Sumner
and the recent outrages in Kansas, is beyond
anything the country has ever before wit

SCHENECTADY, May "a.

SCHENECTADY, may ~.
At regular meeting of the Adelphic Lii
terary Society of Union College, held in
their Hall to-day, the following resolution
was passed almost unanimously:
Resolcea, That we deeply sympathize with
the Hon. Mr.. Sumner, in the severe suffer
ing and pain lie is now passing through, in
consequence of the most brutal, beastly and
dastardly assault History has ever been
called on to record, and that in this inhuman
act we recognize the merciless hand of the
Slaveocracy, who boldly assert awe will
subdue you," and that it is a bold and inhu-
man attempt to crush not only the freedom
of man, but also the freedom of speech and
that Justice and Humanity call on us to
execrate the principle, and the man who
committed this dastardly assault.
Little opposition was offered to the pas
sage of this Resolve from Society whose
members, coming from different States in
| the Union, are still proud to recognize
among their brightest ornaments, those
true-hearted sons of Freedom, William H
Seward aud Preston King.

attached to wagon which was being loaded
at Larpcnteur's Store, took fright, and run
ming up Third Street came in contact with a

around, heading down street, and throwing

ceired no injury. Its horses started full
speed down the street, running over a man
Who is stranger in town, and severely cut
ting his head and face. When at the height
of their speed, they were suddenly checked
by G. P. V. Lull, ESQ.,, who in the most
daring manner rushed in front of them and
seized them by the reins. Mr.. Lull, perhaps
saved the lives of halfa-dozen people at the
imminent risk of his own. The wounded
man was taken into room adjacent to the

MIR. Champions Dismissal.

The Tribune's Washington correspondent
says it is we'll ascertaned now that Cramp-
ton was instructed to close the legation on
the event of his dismissal. Hence his alb
rupt departure yesterday morning. Mr..

The New York Indi gnation Meeting.
NEW YORK, May 81.
A meeting was held at the Tabernacle last
evening to give expression of Indignation Of
the community in regard to the assault on
Mr.. Sumner. The building was packed full
and there seemed to be but one pervadine
sentiment, that of decided and unqualified
horror and contempt for the crime.
N. 0. Griswold, President, supported by
200 Vicc-Presidents, including Moses II
Grinnell, p. Perritt, President of Chamber
of Commerce b. T. Butler, ex-Mayors
Have mayer, Kingsbury, William Ev S, E.
Brooks, l.. Bradish, and others.
A series of appropriate resolutions were
offered by Mr.. Evarts, in which the assault
was characterized, in the language of Senator
Wilson, as brutal, murderous and cowardly
,f
tives to expel Immediately and uncondi-
tionally from the House Mr.. Brooks. The
resolution was supported by Daniel Lord
Chas King +. d. Morgan, and j. Stephens
President of the Bank Of Commerce, and
H. w. Beecher.
The burthen Of the speeches were, that
party feeling among patriotic, conservative
and Union loving men of the North must
henceforth be sunk, and united effort made
to avenge the dastardly assault on Senator
Sumner Enthusiasm ran very high and
the crowd was so great that an outside
meeting had TO be organized and the pro-
ceedings were OF Il Ike character as those
inside.
Spain VS.. Mexico.
New YonK, May 81.
The Tribune has letter from the CITY of
Mexico which goes to confirm the reports
received here from Havana, touching the
hostile expedition against Vera Cruz. The
difficulty has reference to certain claims of
Spanish subjects against Mexico, which
Mexico has once admitted but now refuses
to pay, on the plea that some of them are
fraudulent.
The writer says: have the information
from an authentic source that squadron is
preparing in Spain which is to be Joined by
several ships Of the feet at Havana, to back
the demand. The fuH payment of outstand-
ing claims which the new Minister of Mexico

FIRE AT ST. PETER.-The Courier Of the
18th states that fire had taken place in
that town. 1t broke out in the Wood Yard
belonging to and near the Steam Mill Of Mr..
Ayers. The citizens, generally, were on
hand in very short time after the alarm
was given, and headed the destroyer with
the spirit, energy and effect of the well
trained firemen of our Eastern cities. The
Steam Mill, together with other buildings
near where the fire occurred, were in great
danger, and strong wind favored the spread
of the confagration, but the steady, untrue
ing efforts of our citizens prevented the
destruction of much valuable property and
confined the loss to from ten to twenty
cords of seasoned wood upon the Yard. Mr..
Wright, citizen of St. Peter, was seriously
injured by a fall while laboring to prevent
the spread of the fames-he had rib or
two fractured.
The Courier also says: "B. F. Pratt's
Saw and Grist Mill, under the superinten-
dence of Capt. Shaw is progressing with all
the celebrity that an efficient directing mind
can accomplish.--The 4th of Jnly next is
the day set for this Mill to cut the first log
