l came down yesterday on visit of con-
s''tation to Mr.. TEscrtEMAcmER, shot in
battle here last Wednesday. A party of
Abolitionsts succeeded in getting into the
town n short time before day and attempted
to get possession Of Il pcicc of Artillery.
The alarm WAS given by the guard, but tho
pro-slavery men being scattered about in
different houses, could not get together Il
larger force than ten men to resist some
screnty-Iivc or eighty. Firing from behind
houses was kept up for some time with
equal ar'lor. The towards (you know who
mcan) finally withdrew about ay-brcak,
leaving blood on the ground, although they
do not confess to any loss or wounded ON
their side. TEscuEMAcnEn was shot in the
lung just as he left his door. No one else
was touched, although TEscuEMacuEn's
house was completely ritlclIcd with Sl,arp's
Rifle balls, his family narrowly escaping.
TEscHEMAcnEn will die.
Gov. SHANNON is doing his best to put a
stop TO this state of affi,irs, but he lacks
that Jacksonian decision and energy which
are such dcsidcrata in an cmcrucncy.-
SUMNER has his troops stationed in various
parts of the country, with orders to dispersc
all bodies Of armed men. But what but
his parlialiiy to the Lawrenceitcs can ex-
plain his inactivity, when Il troop of ORA
g"ons only Il milc-and-a-llalf off, cannot
protect Franklin from midnight assassins
and robbers: Last night lady here re-
ccivcd Il message from Il free soicr to re-
move from the place Immediately, for that
his party would not come again with less
than one hundred men. There are not
over twenty-five here who arc considered
right on the G. g." the greater part Of
whom are BrFonD's men.
These i;,natics little imagine the lion
spirit tllay arc arousng. The Border Ruff
ans have not yet engaged in the difficulty.
There were not seventy five of them at tho
attack on Lawrence; hut they sent lis word
that they were in readiness ut Il moments
warning to march any force that is rcoui-
site to defend the law. fear that these
blind fools will urge the point to that issuc;
if So, God help the Union!
There are very few cmigranls coming
into the Territory, while great many of
'hc more pcaccahly inclined, are leaving
daily. A. present, believe. We lave the
majority every where except around here
At amy rate VIC can hold our own by force
Of arms, ii necessary, until the October
elections, by which time expect the arri-
val of larg'. bodies of migrants from both
North AMI South, will materially affect the
issue at the ballot box. One cannot prc.li-
cate from the past or present state Of affairs.
what it will be then. The South must
awaken, for the struggl: has but Just began.
We need her men, her resources, her conn.
tcnaccr; but above all, we need the divine
blessing OH our ist cause.
Sincerely yours,

AN GORGEOUS ERROR.

We not unfrcqncntly sec in Northern
journals the charge that the South, in a
war, would Le impotent-that our slaves,
III case OF rupture, either with Eng
land or with the North, would rise
Ill arms against the masters of the South.
and hence, we would be compelled to vast e
our strength in quc!ling insurrection at home.
Though it is only in abolition prints that
we fiHd such contemplate and fallacious
arguments advanced. We can understand
how such inordinate folly can possess the
crazed and distempcrcd brain of such men
rs BEEcHER, GREELY, and others Of their
kidney but we cannot comprehend how
such mental halucination could come
over the mind Of rational and thinking
men. Yet we are not blind to the fact
that there are thousands at the North, who
suppose the negro to be a maltrcated and
dIscontentcd being, ready at the first oppor-
tunty, to lift his hand against bis muster,
and strike for freedom from his authority
But these deluded abolitionists have sadly
missed their reckoning. Nowhere has the
negro attained higher iutelligence-upon
no spot upon the face of the globe has he
risen higher i'll the scale of human beings,
than he has under the control of the South
crn master. Stamped by nature with in
ferIority, he aspires to no higher civil liber-
ty than that of being slave to humane
master. If troubles come upon us, if per-
mitted, it is true that he would bear arms.
not against their masters, but against their
oppressors. Thousands would face danger
to save their masters from harm.

Two hundred and four inhabitants of the counties
of Mackinaw Chippewa, Delta, Emmett and shebog-
gan, in the northern part of Michigan, have adj
dressed q communication to Governor Bingham, re-
presenting the suffering to which they have been sub
jected by reason of Mormon depredatons, and pray
ing some relief from the nefarious conduct of their
troublesome neighbors. They state that their pro-
perty is not safe from the encroachments of the
Momons, who, by the convenient process of "sancti-
flying" chattels appropriate to their own whatever
falls in their way. Cattle, fishing boats and appa-
ratus, sailed fish in barrels, wood wagons kettles,
lumber, etc. all come convenient to the robbers and
are "sanctifed" to their own use by force and arms
