at the depot in Barton, on the arrival of the

disturbance grew out of a strife between the
runners for the two hotels. Lanterns were
freely brandished over the combatants heads

States Attorney is sitting the matter, and we
hope will bring the guilty parties to Justice

pendent of the New York Tribune saws /:
POLITICALLY, it is considered utterly disas-
trious to the Democracy, by the recommends
ton of protection to slavery in the Terrific
ries, which is more than leading Southern
men desire, and which the Supreme Court
never decided, as asserted by the President.
This, and the proposed invasion of Mexico,
have excited much comment, as a barefaced
bid for denomination. Mr.. Douglas friends
are greatly excited, as the whole movement is
aimed principally against him" The Heralds
correspondent says: "The friends of Mr..
Cobb pronounce it bid for the Charleston
nomination. So say some of the supporters
OF Gen. Lane. The Anti-Lecompton and
Douglas Democrats denounce it, if possible
IN stronger terms than the Republicans. -
The Times correspondent says "Neither
wing Of the Democratic party is pleased with
the manner in which the President treats the
subject of slave property in the Territories. y

SABBATH School CoEoERT.--One of the
most solemnly interesting occasions we ever
witnessed, was the Anniversary Sabbath
School Concert, at Rev. Mr.. Lords Church
in this place on Sabbath evening last. 1t was
solemn from the fact of ts hcing the first an
niversary after the sudden death of their be-
loved Superintendent-Ho f. F. Merrill
who had been connected with the school in
that capacity for seven years, 1t was inter-
esting from the fact that the report of the
present Superintendent, Hon. Joseph Poland
showed the School to be in an unusually pros.
porous condition, and manifestly increasing
interest on the part of the whole school
There were also reports from four Mission
Schools, which have been sustained in the
vicinity, by the efforts of the Young Men,
Christian Association of this place. We omit
particulars as we hope TO be able to present
these reports in full next week.
