DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO MUIR.
DER JUDGE LANRABEE.

On Wednesday afternoon, Judge LARA,
bee left Appleton to speak at Wrightstown
intending to 20 thence oy land 10 Depere,
where he was announced to speak ia the
evening. The Green Bay Advocate had
stated that the people must be punctual
or the Judge would have to disappoint
them
The boat reached Wrightstown quite
late, after s p. NJ, where over two hun.
dred were waiting on the wharf; and
Judge Larrabee addressed them from the
wheel house of the boat for half al hour.
W. Field, Jr., went to Wrigh,sto~n with
team to carry the Judge down, but as it
was quite dark and rainy, he sen, the team
back With the driver, got aboard and went
with the Judge by water.
In crossing a bridge the horses stopped
and refused to bulge. II was very dark.
The driver got out, aud on examination
found the panks removed for space of
fifteen or twenty fee. over gulf fifteen to
twenty feet deep. He unhitched, left his
buggy, took his horses around the gully,
and went to Depere.
Ear y Thursday morning, on examina.
ton, it was found that all the plauks were
replaced, and that secenteen of them had
been removed. There can be no doubt
but the intention was to precipi,ate the
party into the ravine with the hope of de-
stroying them.

WARRINGTON, Friday, DC. 49,
We have very dull times at the Capital
Just now. The different disputan,s are
being engaged in preaching their reports.
and the political wire pullers have gone to
work in other fields Of action, where they
will remain and pursue their deleclable
calling until election.
A leading and influential member of
Congress from Virginia left here day or
two ago, and before leaving he stated to
friend that he had no idea, in the even.
OF Lincoln's election, that the delegation
will take their seats in the House of Rep.
resentatives. 1t is stated on the very best
authority that meeting of the delega
tion including Senators and Represel ia
tlves, has been called will take place sew
eral weeks prior to the converting of Cor
gress. The event of the meeting is only
known to the initiated
Rumors are rife about extraordinary
overtures from the Republicans to the
South, il the leaders there will only keep
quiet. Corwin writes that Lincoln will
execute the Fugitive Slave Law to the let
ter; that he will no. couAenance the
abolition of slavery in the District of Col
umbla without the consent of the inhabi-
tants. Report says that combinations are
forming which will astonish the country.

~ CHALLENGE EVERY MAN
WHO IS NOT A LEGAL VOTER.
FROM GEORGIA.

We make the following extracts from .
private letter from gentleman residing
Ia Kingston. Georgia:
l believe the Brecks count upon South
Carolina, certain. They are advancing
(backward) in good order, to the tune Of
secession, notification and d-n the Uni.
on. Bat all men look to disunion 10 the
event Of Lincoln's election. The party
that considers his election a. sufficient
grounds for secession is very small, but
most people here believe that the Repub-
licaa party are sincere in their niger
worship, and that Lincoln will attempt tn
carry some Of his principles (f principles
we can call them) into practice, which
must and will lead to dissolution, for
the Southern people will not stand Feder-
al Interference With their domestic af-
fairs, and will have equal rights in the
Territories. The majority believe that
the principles Of Popular Sovereignty
give them those rights. I say the majo-
rity, because there is not State, with the
exception Of South Carolina, where the
Bell and Douglas parties, if united, can
net beat the Breckinridge faction and
they agree upon that question, at least. 1t
is conceded now that the only chance for
Breckenridge in this State is ir the Legis
lature, ss the State is 50 near equally di.
vidsd, between Douglas, Bell and Brock.
inridge, that the choice will fall upon the
Legislature.
Douglas is to speak in this place on the
10th, Atlanta, 18th, and will finish his
speaking in this canvass in Mobile, on the
day before election
Billy Seward once taught school in this
section, and he writes to An did acquain-
lance, to have no fears Of the Republicans
that the leaders will never let them 20
90 far rs n carry their doctrines into
force; that they--ths leaders-are merely
feeding the popular appetite, and will not
allow any in.emperaace, &c. But people
wont believe Billy. bat think if the thing
is joke that he is carrying it little too
far, especially as they, or his disciples,
have got in the way Of late Of putting
strychuiue and such like innocent things
into peoples wells, which IS the frog said
to the boy "may be fun for them but
death to US"
! suppose BY this time the Republicans
have pretty much come to the conclusion
that their mission Of freedom will require
two seperate and distinct battles-the
first to force the whites to give up their
property; the second, to force the niggers
to accept freedom. don't think there is
q negro in the county that would take his
freedom as gift, and happier and more
contented set Of beings do not exist in the
the United State. C. I. p.

A SNAKE DuEL-A traveller saw two
snakes, black snake and rattlesnake,
in the road before hin, moving round in
a circle, and apparently following each
other. The cautious maneuvre was pur.
sued for some time, the circle closing at
each round, until, when within few feet,
the blscksnake was observed to stop, coil.
aud pacs itself in an attitude to strike
The ra,tlesnaks then passed round it's an.
'agonlst several times, lessening the dis
lance at each round when it also stopped
and began to coil. But before i. was
ready to strike, the blacksnake suddenly
darted upon it. The evolutions were too
rapid to be detected; aud when it was
again distinctly observed. both snakes
were stretched out at full length-,he rat
tlesnake anreloped in the folds of the
black, which had also seized the rattle
snake at the back of the head, and held
him there. After a short interval, the
blacksnake gradually unfolded itself, loos.
ened its grip with its mouth from the rat
tlesnakes head, and moved away. On
examination, the rattesnake was found to
be dead, and apparently every bone in its
body was crushed.
