RUFFIANIsM.N We learn from tho Ger
mantown Independent that some cowardly
ruiRAn threw club through one Of tho Edi'
tors parlOr windows, on last Saturday night
breaking the glass and sash, and carrying
the window curtain across the room BY the
force Of the blow. This was a most repre-
hensible and villainous demonstration, and
the porpetrator ought to meet with the pun
ishment he justly merits.
We regret that the editor Of the Inde-
pendent in mentioning the oowardly assault
upon his house, should have exhibited HE
malice towards us in the connection. He
knows that we have never even hinted that
violence should be uced toward him for eith'
er the entertainment or expression Of his
opinions. On the contrary, we expressly
deprecated such conduct, while he counseled
murder, IL necessary to rescue fugitive
slaves from the hands Of officers Of the Cow
eminent, whose disagreeable duties the Con-
stitutou aud the laws impose on them; and
yet he meanly insinuates that in the attack
made upon him--"his (our) advice has been
carried OUT so Far as circumstances permit
ted" As If to make the petty baseness Of
his cowardly charge against US stand out
more prominently, he says in the same arr
tiole
awe have no personal difficulty with any
man in this village, aud, therefore, ascribe
the assault upon our property to the dislike
Of our course upon the Temperance ques>
ton"
This contradiction, Il will strike the editor
Of the Independent, is rather too glRringi
the more especially as we mentioned the
Germantown movement with favor and we
have never said one word denuncistory Of
temperance in the whole course Of our life
The Germantown man has exhibited about
as much meanness in his course toward US
as the fellow who threw club through his
parlor window, did towards him. Their
several performances result from difference
in taste or pluok-or both--as to the better
way of exhibiting the quality 1t is mat
ter about which we will not particularly
complain.
We again repeat thatwe denounCe violence
of every kind We especially depreeate vie
olence toward the press 1t is species of
iliterate barbarism unworthy the age; and
we hope our Germantown friends will see
that such an outrage as was perpetrated on
Meyers residence, on last Saturday night,
will never be repeated in their midst.

Messing the extraordinary sight there presented
The gathering Of children and adults exceeds
the expectations Of every body indeed it is nc
knowledged that it is the largest collection oi
young folks ever before congregated in this vi
ciuity; and the attendance Of the "old folks" ia
also very large, very many Of whom brought
their baskets along intending to pass the day
with the little ones.
We sec the Members Of the Board OF Educa.
ton aud tn oity Fathers on the platform, to
gether with other notSbles of the city and
neighborhood. The exercises, given by the
programe published yesterday, are exceedingly
interesting, and the efforts Of the participants
elicit great applause. But az we propose "a
speak at some length ofthese things tomorrow
We now barely report prcgaess.
The children are we'll behaved, and seem "a
enjoy themselves exceedingly. The major pOr.
tion Of them are congregated around their sew.
eral school banners, about the platform, while
many are bivoucked about the Hill, and on the
County Fair Grounds. The day promises 10 be
pleasant, and the prospect for passing an agree
able day is decidedly good. Avery large num-
Der Of gentlemen and ladies' are present, with
their lunch baskets, while additions to these
are being constantly made.
1t is estimated that there are between two and
three thousand children on the grounds. and
that there are at Least 1000 adults. These mum.
bers will be greatly augmented this afternoon.
The omnibuses are starting every few min
utes from the Phillips House corner to the Hill
and as on dime is chsrged, the ride and
