:
the rails were recognized and assailed
soto voce with screams of choice black
guardism. One was struck by decayed
apple thrown at him from the mob
That more deadly missiles were not en-
ployed is no doubt due to the fact that
the members Of both parties sit intermix-
ed on the floor. Mr.. Murphy's speech
was of the most inhammatory character.
He proclaimed that Callicott, even il
elected, would never be allowed to take
his seat, and here another yell of appro-
val from the threats Of his audience rat
flied this revolutionary threat. Matters
were now assuming most alarming as.
pect. Some nervous persons-but, thank
heaven, no Union member-left the
Chamber precipitately and matters were
just at that pass when the murderous
mass outside the bar evidently wanted
but a signal from their leaders on the
floor to force themselves withiR and pre-
cipitate themselves upon Mr.. Callicott
and all who should rally in his defence.
In vain the clerk announced the special
order at II o'clock. 1t was insisted up
on that the Journal must be corrected
before the special order could be taken
up, and the mad debate went on. Mr..
Fields followed in TRADE almost as long
and as violent as that of Mr.. Murphy.
He, too, declared in the most threatening
manner, that if the Inauguration of Mr..
Callicott took place, it would be under
circumstances which both sides of the
house would regret forever" And Mr..
Hutchings of New York took ap the
theme, and in swelling and tureid rhet-
oric sought TO operate on the fears of the
majority, and dashed the rufTians in atten-
dance into new fury. The mob was not
silent for an instant; their yells gave a
constant and fearful emphasis to the
threats of their favorite orators.
At o'clock the Union members, for
reasons which viii hereafter be made
public, decided to adjoorn the house, and
no democrat objecting, Mr.. Hu:chings
suspended his speech, and Mr.. Bemis
rose, and in a few words of wise and gen
tie, but strong, reproof, protested against
the exhibition which the chamber had
hat day witnessed, and moved the adj
iournment. Bot he was greeted with
kisses, cheers, and sounds aud gestures
too vile for description. And so the
house adjourned"

that unless the weather may prevent,
the meeting will be held at the time ap-

sustain and nourish the common schools

The Democratic Peace Makers

Al the democratic peace meeting at
Springfield, Ill.,, a few days since, Mr..
Gowdy said
In the event Of the president refusing
to Withdraw the proclamation, he was in
favor of marching an army to Washing
ton and hurting the officers ofthe present
administration from their positions
He thought it would not take much force
to do it."
In the democratic caucus of the Illinois
legislature, on Monday last, considerable
treason talk is reported to have been
uttered. Dick Richardson said boldly
that he did not believe the rebels could be
snbduod and did not think they ought to
be. One Merrick said he did not know
which was guilty of the greatest treason.
the government at Washington or that
at Richmond, and that the country will
never be united till every fanatic is hung.
from Charles Sumner down. Merrick
went for leaving New England out in
the cold, and organizing a western re-
public. Mr. Gowdy of Chicago declared
himself unequivocally for revolution, at
which there was great applause. Some
ofthe members were for Withdrawing the
troops Of Illinois from the field, saying
hey have been enlisted on false preten-
ses
ex-governor Price of New Jersey, at
a meeting at Bergen, one night last week,
declared himself willing to say to the
South -
Come back; you shall have all the
guarantees you had before, and if YOU
want more for the institutions in your
respective states, you shall have them"
Rev. c. Chauncey Burr, of not very
fragrant memory, said at the same meet
ing that he would say to the South -
"The doctrine of our fathers, the rights
of the states we will obey; come back
and help us uphold them for our sake,
and for the sake Of the constitution of the
nation, come back and help us conquer
this abolition fanaticism and treason,
which has undermined the whole country
and set the temple of liberty Keeling and
staggering TO fall"

who can swallow such stuff as that. or
can listen patiently to it, JEFF Davis has
not long to wait for the rebellion 10 bis

hope for success.

the capture of Arkansas Post by the fed

s9g Chester Brown, of the Craitsbury
BOOKSTORE, has laid US under obligations
for a supply of note paper, envelopes,
pens, &c, which he says he can furnish
cheaper than any other man in his line.
He bought before the rise in paper, and
he has therefore the advantage of all
competitors in that respect. He says he
will sell cheaper, anyhow. We have no
fault to find with our bargain.

NEWS FROM MEXIoO.-The ews
from Mexico is of a highly interesting
character. French communication be-
tween Vera Cruz and Orizaba has been
completely cut off by the Mexican guer-
rillas, and can only be re-established
and kept up by the French posting very
strong guards all along the routes. The
Mexican guerrilas are in strong force
all along the road and worry the French
increasingly. 1t is also reported that the
French have again been repulsed and
driven back from below Puebla. with
great loss. The French Gen Bartheir's
vanguard, 1000 strong, was completely
surprised by 500 Mexican cavalry, and
about 1000 of the French troops were
killed and wounded. Several French
officers were taken by the lasso and
dragged off. The prospects of the French
look exceedingly bad. They can get no
supplies from the country, and they are
surrounded by most determined enemy
who watch every opportunity to take
advantage of them. No French soldier
can stray from his camp without being
lassoed and dragged off by some Mexi-
can guerrilla who is on the watch for
him. The small pox in its most malig.
Dant form has broken out in Vera Cruz,
and lazaretto is being built for this
class Of patients.
The Bahama Herald of the 17th an
nources the arrival of the British war
steamer Galatea from Bermuda, and the
Spiteful from Havana. and says it is
reported from highly credilable source
that the commander of the GaIatea has
received positive orders to take Admiral
Wilkes when and wherever found, and
convey him to Bermuda, where he is to be
detained until further orders from Eng
land.
