NO. 42.
From the St. Joseph Journal, July l Great Excitement at Doniphan.

R'nors cf lPar-A Challenge yjor Dusl giren
 ant accepted-Parties arrested and bound oUer
 to Keep the peace-I Ii0o hundred and fifty men
 under arnss--Speech of Gen. Lans.
 Col. w. 5. Thompson, of our city, who ar rived yesterday morning from Doniphan, k. l., hnngs full accounts of the late disturbance. It appears that a man named Mitchell, who hgured rather conspicuously as an officer during the difficulties last fall, took exceptions at some remarks made sy Mir. Boyd, ill his oration on the fourth. Mitchell sought an explanation from Boyd, during which time some insult was passed, when Boyd knocked Mitchell down with his fist.
 challenge was then sent by Mitchell to Boyd and readily accepted by the latter. Sec onds were chosen, the distance measured off and the muskets presented, when the civil au- thorltes arrived on the ground, arrested the bel llgerant parties, who gave bonds for their good behavior for limited period of time. The bonds had not been signed more than fifteen minutes before Mitchell renewed the challenge, but Boyd declined, saying that he had given bonds, but as soon as the time expired he would give satisfaction.
 The pro-savery and free state parties then took it up Gen. Jim Lane, with his follow CTS, seized upon thirty seven muskets belong ing to government and placed themselves in a defensive attitude. Runners and expresses were dispatched to all quarters for recruits Speeches were then made by men belonging to both sides
 On Monday night, armed men, belonging to the free state party, were stationed out all around the city. Lanes excuse for his course and conduct is, that he understood the pro- slavery men had sent for the Kickapoo Rangers, and he pursued this course for the benefit of all concerned. Col. Thompson and Mir. Mid dleton, of this city, had aninterview with Lane, and used their utmost endeavors to dissuade him from his course. He made faithful pro- misses to capitu!ate, and then proceeded to make a flaming speech to his excited comrades, in which he stated that he and his men were not afraid 10 meet the pro slavery men in any shape or iorm-that they would meet them single handed, in fist fight, or with bowie knives, swords, revolvers, rifles, or in a body with twenty five pounders, that they knew no fear -nlne free state men could be mustered at any time to two pro-slavery ones. He con- cluded by making proposition which all par ties conceded to, which was both parties sur render up their arms to the civil authorities; which was done. Tuesday a runner was sent to Gov Walker, requesting him to issue proclamation. When our informant left-Tues- day, nine o'clock at night--eveyy thing was quiet, but how long it will remain time only can tell.
