Personal.

A most interesting difficulty" and ex-
plantations have taken place in the House
Of Representatives between the Hon. Lewis
D. Campbell, of Ohio, and the Hon. Al
bert Rust, of Arkansas. It appears that
on Tuesday, the 18th inst, Mr.. Campbell
told Mr.. Rust that if he meant to apply to
him a certain remark which he had just
made in the House of Representatives, he
(Mr. Rust) was liar. After this gentle
expression of his sentiments, coming near
Mr.. Rust in the Rotunda of the Capitol,
Mr.. Campbell tried to maui him with his
fists, but was prevented by the Hon. A. K.
Marshall, of Kentucky.
We will state, for the information of our
readers, that this Mr.. Campbell is the same
man who recently expressed his supreme
contempt for manufactured rags, oil and
lampblack," alias newspapers. Mr.. Rust
is the same man whom the Hon. William
H. Seward eulogized as ian honorable gen
tleman" after his cowardly attack upon
Mr.. Horace Greeley, ian editor of news
paper" to quote the same Senator's chaste
and beautiful English; and Mr.. Marshall
is the distinguished Representative who
was so squeamish lest he should exalt the
conductors of public journals into undue
importance by noticing them in so elevated
a body as the House of Representatives
He is the son of a Kentucky schoolmaster,
who, whatever other virtues he may pos
sess, seems to have neglected that judicious
discipline of his own sons which might
have been instrumental in teaching them
the manners of civilized life.
Hereupon, those not familiar with the
usage in such cases experienced the fear
that duel might grow out of this gentle
squabble between the honorable gentle
men," Instead of that, however, on Thurs
day, the 18th inst, it was settled, very
much as it would have been in that other
famous institution, the Pickwick Club
On that day, the Hon. Campbell got up
in his place and said that he had learned
that the Hon. Rust regarded remark
which he had made on Tuesday as an in
suit to that ahonorable gentlemen" but
that in thus contingently giving him the
lie followed by an attempt to maui, him
with LIS fists), he had not intended to in
suit him or cast any imputation upon him,
and he now disavowed any such design
This being delivered with as much gravity
as could have been shown by Mr.. Tracy
Tupman, or even by Mr.. Pickwick himself,
the "honorable gentleman" got up in his
turn and said that he had understood the
Hon. Campbell differently at the time, but
was now gratifed by his disavowal!
All Of which the manufactured rags,
oil and lampblack' hastens to record, with
all the admiration due to such elevated
personaees.-M Y. Tribune.

From the Cincinnati Gaze,


- -GlO0
LAWRENCE, Kansas, Jan. 80 1857.
The rummies were out this morning at
an Indignation Meeting, called by them
selves, to take into serious consideration
the transactions of Saturday last, at which
time several women of the city of Lawrence,
did, with malice aforethougt, arm them
selves with axes, hatchets and hammers,
attack several shops where whisky was
sold, and with said sceapons stave in, break
and otherwise destroy sundry barrels, bot
tells and demIohns, spilGng their contents
upon the ground, thereby depriying sundry
citizens of their daily drains; and, there
fore, we. the sufferers, being no longer full
Of whisky-for we can't get drop to drink
ARE justly indignant at such conduct on
the part of ladies, and we do protest that
we will no longer love any woman that will
interfere with our whisky.
In cellar, under building in the afore-
said city of Lawrence, the eonvocation did
assemble, to be indignant at such waste
of whisky, and to take such measures as
should be deered necessary to prevent the
recurrence of such scenes as were witnessed
on Saturday last.
An ex-rumseller, named Hancock, was
called to the chair, and dfinker (when he
can get whisky named Curtis, was elected
Secretary. -
Hancock read several resolutions de-
nouncing destruction of spirits, and urged
upon the members of the rum party the
necessity of having the women arrested,
tried and imprisoned for their warlike attack
upon private property,
He also, in few remarks, characterized
by profanity and vulgarity, stated that he
loved whisky, always had loved it, and
meant 10 die loving it and hating all wo-
men who would deprive him of his dram.
He defined the proper sphere ofwomen, as
he thought-considered il disgrace for
them to spill liquors-said the Constitution
of the United States gave them all the
right to drink and sell whisky. For one
he respected that Magma Charta of our lib
reties, and he was going to drink as
much as he pleased in spite of every body.
Curtis then made few obscure remarks.
At this time one of the faithful espied re-
porter in the room, and started towards
him crying out, Hthrow him into the streetw
''out with himr'- A temperance man step
ped between the two and prevented the
throwing out and the man of items escaped
unharmed Two parties in Kansas are
down on reporters-the rum and slavery
parties-but the news gatherers are always
about, notwithstanding the opposition
against them. An attempt was made to
have the preamble and resolutions adobted.
But sfte. great noise and confusion it
failed So many temperance men had
come in to see the fun, and of course, they
voted, and the rummies were whipped at
their own game The meeting was fizzle,
and the cellar after while was vacated for
the night-no one wounded or killed. On
coming out into the open air we found the
stars shining as usual, the world resting
upon sure foundation, and Lawrence as
great a city as ever. 1t is now midnight.
Yours, ION.

wParris was recently thrown into great
excitement by the announcement that the
imperial baby's nose was stopped up With a
cold, which it was feared would settle in its
head. Orleanists' and Legitimists' stock
Immediately took a rise. The fears Of the
people were soon relieved, however, by an
official announcement by the Moniteur,
that the imperial nasal had again resumed
its functions. The Parisians must be a
weak people to allow themselves to be led
by the nose in this way. re...- =
