KEEP THE PEACE.

A citizen asks of us whether the civil au-
thority and officers in the town consider
themselves exempt from all responsibility to
protect the community from such disturbances
as occurred night before last. We do not
know what answer they would make to such
an inquiry, but we look upon it as a neglect
of duty when they let noise and disorder pre-
vail in the streets, by night or day, without
an attempt to stop it. 1t is rare thing for
the streets of this town to be the scene of such
a racket as was kept up the other night for
several hours Had it been promptly intor
ruptcd, as it should have been by the officers
of Justice, and few of the chief disturbers
put under lock and key for the night, and
brought before II magistrate next morning
for breaking the public peace, it would have
had II wholesome effect for the future. Years
ago when we had but two or three justices of
the peace in town, it was not thought to be
outside Of the duty, or beneath the dignity OF
Il Justice OF the peace, whenever Il dlsordcrly
proceeding began, to step forward at once
and see that an end was put TO it. Now We
| have fifteen justices. and we too often find
the old saying, "what is cvcrybody's busi-
ness is nohody's," verified, ut least SO far as
such duties are concerned
1t matters not whether such Il disturbance
springs from II spontaneous outburst oi IL
desire for fun, or from mischcvous intent, II
is injurious in its effects ON those engaged
and grevous infliction ON others. The nois,
alone, dsquiets great many, and deprive'
them of rest which they need and have Il
right to enjoy. The knowledge that it is
disordoriy transaction, dsturbs the feelings o
many to high degree and the sick, on botl
accounts, are most seriously distressed by it
Painful instances of this sort occurred
Wednesday night. That those who are en-
gagged in such disturbances do not often thinl
of such things is IL poor excuse for them
We hope that whenever any such doings ar
attempted .again, the magistrates and con
stables will take energetic measures to arres
them. In 50 doing they will certainly fin
themselves seconded by the good judgmen
and countenance Of the great body OF tn
community.
We should be sorry to have strangers Gam
there were many in town at the time spoke
! oD judge of the place from what occurre
then; for such judgment would do
great injustice. The general sentiment of on
people is eminently in favor of good order
and not only 50, the place is cminently Il
orderly one, and it has long been so, as
ssert from more than thirty years residenc
in it. We think it would not be easy

praise in this respect Yet from man

PUBLIC DIsTuRBANcE.-The inhabitants of
of the village were much disturbed on the I'd
by rowdyish gang who marched through
many streets in the dead of the night, beating
heavy drum, rattling on pans, blowing
horns and making other unsccmly noises.
We do not know who were engaged in the
indecent employment, but from what we have
learned, we believe the party was made up
some College students, some other residents
of the Town, and some persons from out of
Town. Such proceedings are very shameful,
whoever were concerned in them.
We learn, also, that three students were
detected, that night, in an endcayor to lower
the College bell from the bellry-thcy having
broken away part of the iron railing to fa-
cilltate the attempt. Two were sent away
from College by the Faculty, next morning
1t is deeply to be regretted that, from a low
and unmanly spirit of mischief, any of the
young men should bring grief to their friends
and future rcmorsc to themselves, by doing
that which brings upon them such deserved
punishment.
We do not wish to prolong remarks about
the late midnight disturbances in the streets
Of which we have spoken hitherto. Yet we
have word or two to say morc-wc hope the
last-on that unpleasant topic. We have
often observed a disposition on the part Of
persons mperfcctly informed of the facts,
to imputc blame to the College faculty for
not ciiectually preventing or controlling any
disorder engaged in by those under their
charge. We know that they are always
ready and prompt to do all they can to
prevent or rcpress disturbances, so far as
their authority goes. That, it should be
remembered, is entirely of a moral character.
They have no cisH authority whatever. In
the case referred to, they did all in their
power. We have the best grounds for be-
licving that their entire action ON the subject
has been characterized by promptness, good
judgment, kindness, and efficiency.

GEN. WASHINGTON. The following cx-
tract is from the diary OF chaplain in the
army of the Revolution, communicated for
the n. Y. Observer, by his grandson, Hon.
j. Y. Headey:
JUN 4M-I have seen the new general
appointed by Congress to command the ar
mics of the colonies. | had heard much of
his hcrosm in the wars with the Indians and
French, but thought the selection an injudi
cious one. There were much older officers in
New England, and if Mr.. Adams had not
made the nomination, l doubt whether the
New England colonies would have been con-
tent with it but few are disposed to question
his wisdom and patriotism On seeing him
am not surprised at the choice. | expected
to see an ardent heroic-looking man, but such
a mingled sweetness, firmness and seli-posess-
ion, / never before saw in any man. The
expression ''born to command" is peculiarly
applicable to him. Day before yesterday
when under the large elm tree in Cambridge,
he drew his sword and formally took com
mand of his army of II 600 men, his look
and bearing impressed every one, and could
not but feel that he was reserved for sone
great destiny. / have heard much of his
religious character, and hence look ed with
great deal of anxiety to his first order tc
the army, to see if there was anything than q
formal recognition of the Supreme Being
To-day he issued it. and it was with heart
overhowing with gratitude to God that
read the followign passage in it. "The gene
raj most earnestly requires and expects thu
due observance of those articles of war estab
lished for the government of the army. whicl
forbid profane cursing, swearing, and drunk
enness, and in like manner he requires an'
expects of all officers and soldiers not engages
on actual duty, punctual attendance ol
Divine service, to implore the blessings o
heaven upon the means used for our safet
and defence" Truly God is with us, an,
though the way be dark and dresry, vii
believe he will carry us safely through a
last.

TIs latest news from Ossawattomie states
that that place was threatened. by 800 Mis-
sourans, and that messengers had been dis
Matched to Lawrence tor arms.
1t appears from correspondence emanating
from the head quarters of the Kansas militia,
and published in the Lawrence Republican,
that Caps. Montgomery and Payne, were de-
prived of their commissions on the 18th of
February.
The 0ssawattomie Herald confirms the ac-
counts of the murders in Lynn county on the
18th. 1t was rumored that Brockett's party
were besieged in Fort Scott, by the Free State
men, who are waiting endorsements to take
the place by storm.
The Democrat has information from a
gentleman Just from Kansas that the Deputy
United States Marshal was sent in pursuit of
Capt Montgomery, and was taken prisoner
by the latter on Thursday night last that
after some conference he was released. Tho
Marshal states that Capt. Montgomery in
formed him that the recent outragcs were all
committed by Capt. Hamilton, who is the
head of the remnant of the party formerly
commanded ny Major Buiiord. 1t was re-
ported that Hamilton had left the Territory,
and was en- route too Georgia.

SONG OF THE SEwlNG-MACuINE.
BY GEORGE p. MORRIS.

BY GEORGE p. MORRIS.
I'm the Iron Needle Woman
Wrought of sterner stuff than clay
And, unlike the drudges human,
Never weary night nor day
Never shedding tears Of sorrow,
Mover mourning friends untrue,
Never caring for the morrow,
Never begging work to do.
Poverty brings no disaster
Merrily glide along,
For no thankless, sordid master,
Ever socks to do me wrong
No extortioners opprcss me,
No insulting words | dread
I've no children to distress me
With unceasing cries for bread
I'm of hardy form and feature,
For endurance framed Alright
Pm not pale misfortune's creature,
Doomd lifc's battle here to fight
Mines song of cheerful measure,
And no under-currents flow
To destroy the throb of pleasure
Which the poor so seldom know
In the hall hold my station,
With the wealthy ones of earth,
Who comm end me to tho nation
For economy and worth,
While unpaid the female labor,
In the attic-chambcr lone,
Where the smile Of friend or neighbor
Never for moment shonc
My creation is blessing

The ILLINOIS TORNADO. The stories told
of the freaks of the late tornado in Illinois
are quite as astonishing as the hurricane
must have been to the frightened inhabitants
The Peoria Transcript tells the following.
Sat Kapps, two ladies were blown away.
and have not since been heard from. They
probably wore hoops. At Chenoa. it demol-
ished a house completely, and yet left book
case that was in it, without n scratch
broken pane of glass. 1t carried a large
mirror sixty feet and laid it down unbrokcn,
The next morning after the storm a man was
seen to crawl from under barn, who, after
being questioned, stated that as he was COM
ing across the prairie the wind picked him up
and carried him half milc setting him
down in pond of water four feet deep; he
waded out and got on little raise ground.
when the wind took him again and hurried
him with violence against the side of the
barn, under which he crawlcd and spent the
night.
"The most wonderful feat of all, however,
occurred at Chcnoa. A farm house was
blown at two jumps, not less than three hun
dred feet from where it stood, and set down
so easily that the plastering was not cracked,
or the dishes knocked off the table, which
was set for supper \ similar occurrence
took place at Gilman, where kitchen was
blown from the side of Il house into slough
without plate being broken and when our
informant left, the inmates We're iourneying
