Resisting the Law.

We learn that in the neighDorhood
of Union School house, Due West
township, u negro woman, named
Ann Clinkscales, refused to allow q
lawfully deputized constable with u
search warrant, to search her house
tor stolen meat. She leveled a double
barrel shot gun at the officer, and
snapped it ut him, who looked down
the muzzle Of the gun, and not liking
the looks of the load retired. The
negroes assembled, it is said, to the
number of fifty or sixty near the
house on Monday when it was under
stood that the officers would make
further search, with the intention OF
defying the officers of the law. Henry
Young and others went in pursuit of
the officer, and when the officer was
over-tahen he gave Young a blow over
the head, and when the constable lev
eled his pistol at his assailant be left.
After this q considerable number of
whites assembled and we're ready for
whatever emergency might arise.
Night came On and the whites retired
with the intention of meeting next
morning. Mr.. j. B. Kay who lives
within u mile of the house of the
woman, says the report reached him
on Monday night thai there would he
u large number Of. armed men both
whites and blacks, who would assem-
BILE the next morning to settle the diff
ficulty. The negroes it is said passed
resolutions that they would not allow
any further search Or any arrests,
while the whites were equally deter
mined that they should submit to the
legal process of the law. Mr.. Kay
acted as mediator between the two
parties, when the negroes abandoned
the idea of resisting the officer, and
the officer made the arrest, and all
parties dispersed. Thus ended peace
ably all occurrence which at one time
looked to violence.

On q Mission of Peace.

Judge Cooke and Solicitor Blythe
were here on Thursday night to inves-
tigate their constituents OH the war
question: 1t is said that Judge Cooke
has a pride in his circuit and is anX-
ious that it should have credit for be-
ing as peaceable as any circuit in the
State. and to promote that end came
here and lecttred the colored brethren
and their leaders soundly for their OBJ
streperous conduct on the Friday pre-
vious. We learn that the Judge is Il
peace man, and has instructed the
Trial Justices here that it was their
duty to command the peace !; that they
were not appointed to Office for party
purposes, but to promote the public
good, irrespective of race, or political
creed. We learn that the Judge in
structed the Trial Justices here to bind
over to Court any man who might
make an incendiary speech, and said
that any n that delivered such
speech if proof could be obtained,
should be arrested. He was
also very emphatic in his denuncia-
ton of the distribution of cartridges
to the bearers of Chamberlain's bay
onets. Trial Justice Bruce denied
having furnished the four thousand
rounds of ammunition to the blacks,
with which rumor had Charged him.
1t is thought the visit of the Judge
and the Solicitor will promote the
public peace.
