[■he Assault on Mr. Sumner.
The Washihgfon Star has an account
' die assault, said to be from an eye wit
lSs. in whose judgment and the integ
t y of whose statements it says it can
; lv, which is as follows:
On Thursday, after he had sought Mr.
uniner elsewhere, without finding him,
Ir. Brooks went to the Senate chamber,
he Senate having adjourned,) and Mr.
being there, Mr. Brooks sat near Mr.
miner until a few ladies, who were on
ie floor, bad retired. He then went up
Mr. Sumner, who was at his desk,
riting, and said:
“I have read your speech carefully,
id with as much disposition to do you
stice as I could command; and I have
iliberately come to the conclusion that
iu were guilty of a gross libel upon
y State, and of a wanton insult to my
jftsent and grey haired relative, Judge
Sutler, and I feel myself under obliga
j§Bns to inflict on you a punishment for
•is libel and insult.”
Mr. Sumner thereupon essayed to rise
►in Ids seat, as though to resist what
r. Brooks had said, when he (Brooks)
•uck Mr. S. with rapid and repeated
dws about the head with a gutta-percha
oe, and continued his blows in spite of
r. Sumner’s efforts to ward them off
and seize the cane, until Mr. S. fell. As
Brooks was suspending his blows
rich he did the instant Mr. Sumner
) Mr. Crittenden came up and inter
ied, saying “don’t kill him, ifcc.”
. Brooks thereupon left the spot and
named with his friends in the Senate
imber, until Mr. Sumner’s friends,
era! of whom were present, (Mr.
rgan, of New York, and Mr. Foster,
Connecticut, among them,) lifting him
bore him into one of the ante-rooms
:he Senate.
I'he Star also states that Mr. Brooks
h his friends, after the police officer,
o served the warrant, had retired, went
to the office of Justice Ilollingshead and
sred security for court. The Justice
not think it proper to take security
court until he knew the condition of
, Sumner, and therefore held Mr-
Jjjboks to security in SOOO for his ap
pearance at the office on the 24th inst.,
for a further hearing.
ggriio Union says: “As the attack was
made by Mr. Brooks when the Senate
was not in session, and when the cliam
1. her is open to all persons, we presume
that the place where it was made can
have no bearing on the legal quest’on
Hpcli may be involved.
correspondent of the New York
*l|iald, says about half past one, after
the Senate adjourned, Col. Preston S-
Blocks, member of Congress, of South
Caiolina, approached Senator Sumner,
ami made substantially the remarks above
|BHl'ol. Brooks then struck Senator Sum
ner with his cane some dozen blows over
the head. Senator Sumner at first show
ed! tight, but was overpowered. Senator
Chittenden and others interfered and
saturated them.
||Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, did not
interfere, only to keep persons oft',
fjisenator Toombs declared that it was
tbt proper place to bavo chastised Mr.
Sttmner.
* -.About a dozen Senators and many
(gangers happened to be in the Chamber
at the moment of the fight. Sumner, I
Iprn, is badly whipped. The city is
hjpisiderably excited, and crowds every
where are discussing the last item. Sum
ner cried, “ I’m most dead! oh, I’m
most dead !” After Sumner fell between
two desks, his own having been over
turned, he lay bleeding, and cried out,
“I’m almost dead—almost dead !”
Mr. Brooks waited at the Porter's
Lodge about an hour yesterday, and as
« long this morning, hoping to meet Mr.
Sumner, with a view to attack him.
Failiug in this, he entered the Senate
Chamber to-day, just as that body ad
journed, and seeing several ladies pre
sent, seated himself on the opposite side
to Mr. Sumner. Soon all disappeared
but one. He then requested a friend to
get her out, when he immediately ap
proached Mr. Sumner, and made his re
marks in a very quiet tone.
Sumner attempted to spring
to his feet, showing fight, but whilst in
the act, was struck by Col. Brooks a
back -handed blow across the head with
a gutta-percha cane, near an inch thick,
hut hollow, and he continued striking
him right and left until the stick was
blWken into fragments, and Mr. Sumner
was prostrate and bleeding on the floor.
No one took hold of Col. B. during the
time, so quick was the operation ; but
immediately afterwards, Senator Critten
den caught him around the body and
arms, when Col. B. said, “ I did not wish
IS hurt him much, but only whip him.”
■ No one knew of the anticipated attack
Mut the Hon. 11. A. Edmundson, of Va.,
tjjfho happened not to be present when
the attack commenced. It was reported
the streets for several days previous
®iat Senator Sumner would be armed
when he delivered his speech, and that
til IAKIII Till! 1 #!
if occasion required it, he would use
his weapons. He was not armed when
attacked by Col. B. to-day. It is sa ; d,
also, that Senator Sumner gave out, be
fore he made Ins-speech, that he would
be responsible for anything IfS might
j Sil J-
The local editor of the Washington
Organ thus describes Mr. Sumner’s ap
! pearance, after the assault:
His wounds consisted of two deep
gashes across the scalp; a heavy bruise
running from his mouth to his forehead;
brumes on his hands and arms, and also
on his legs, which was caused by his
sudden contact with a desk, with such
force that he immediately uprooted it.
The doctor partially shaved his head
and put two stitches in each wound, at
the Capitol, and completed the dressing
at his rooms.
Kansas.
The majority of the House Commit
tee of Investigation in Kansas are bus
i!y engaged in encouraging, by all the
means at their command, resistance, not
only to the laws and functionaries creat
ed by the Territorial Legislature, but al
so to the United States Court and its
immediate officers. They are scouting
the idea that there is either privilege,
power or law of any description there,
not concentrated in themselves and their
commission. In counselling ex-Govern
or Reeder to resist the summons of the
United States Court to testify before
the Grand Jury, in a case where the
crime charged was treason, and more
especially when to obey that summons
would have token him but a few hours
from the side of his friends, was to go
so manifestly in the face of all pretence
ot law, as that every one who knows
anything, must comprehend that they
are simply laboring to back up the cause
of abolitionism, over, against and around
the law, without the slightest regard to
the obligations of their position. Their
conduct cannot fail to have the effect
of discrediting their report, whatever
that may he, in the eyes of all fair, hon
est and sensible men of whatever politics.
Ihc truth is, wherever Abolitionism is
in the ascendant, the obligations of law
and common honesty are scouted when
ever they may conflict with the purpose
of carrying out the principles of Aboli
tionism, or the prejudices of the vicin
age upon any other subject. All dwel
lers in non-slaveholding States know
that this axiom holds good in such local
ities. Messrs. Howard and Sherman, in
the way in which they are discharging
their present duties, are but simply par
odying the conduct of Theodore Park
er and Wendell Philips in the Burns
slave case, and of the leaders of the
“ Jerry rescuers ” in the famous New
dork fugitive slave case. When the
country comes to obtain full informa
tion concerning their present line of
conduct, their report and recommenda
tions will have as little weight any where
with moderate and fair men, as though
it was signed by Philips and Parker,
rather than by two Abolition members
of Congress. They are indeed com
pletely over-playing their game.— Wash
ington Star.
Lawrence City.
The loss to the world will not be
great, even should the telegraphic dis
patch announcing that Lawrence has
been “ destroyed ” prove literally true.—
The following picture of the place ap
pears in the Hartford (Conn.) Times. —
“Mr. Tease, of this city, who recent
ly went out to Kansas with Mr. Lines’
company, has returned, no says that
Lawrence City presents an unfavorable
appearance. There is no thrift, no pros
perity, apparent; but whiskey—poor
whiskey, too—is poured down on every
hand. It is dealt out in almost every
building. Drinking is the principal
business, and it is backed up by idlers,
the people generally waiting for‘aid’
from the East. Sharpe’s rifles were of
fered to him, he says, for ten dollars each.
The price in Hartford, where they are
made, is $25 and $28.”

Wistar’s Balsam ol Wild Cherry,
The Great Remedy for Consump

The greater the value of any discovery, the
higher it is held in the esteem of the public, and
so much in proportion is that public liable to be
imposed upon by the spurious imitations of ig
norant, designing and dishonest men.
Now that this preparation is well known to be
a more certain cure for incipient Consumption,
Asthma, Liver Complaint, Coughs, Bronchitis,
and all similar affections, than any other remedy
known, there are found those so villianously
wicked as to concoct a spurious, and perhaps a
poisonous mixture, and try to palm it off as the
geuuine Balsam.
This is to caution dealers, and the public
generally, against purchasing any other than
that having the written signature of I. Butts on

EiF” Holloway’s Pills, a certaian
Remedy for all Liver and Stomach Complaints.—
The daughter of Mrs. Far.ow,of Maiden Lane,
New \ ork, was for three years iu a most deplor
able state of health, caused by her liver and sto
mach being out of order. The mother tried a
variety of remedies, but unfortunately the child
was not benefited by the same, on the contrary,
she gradually became worse. Seven weeks ago,
she commenced to use Holloway’s Pills in ac
cordance with the printed directions, they have
completely cured her, after every other remedy
had failed to give her the slightest relief.

(ESP*As a Spring ani>Summer Medicine,
Carter’s Spanish Mixture stands pre-eminent
above all others. Its singularly efficacious ac
tion on the blood : its strengthening and vivify
ing qualities; ils tonic action on the Liver; its
tendency to drive all humors to the surface, there
by cleansing the system according to Nature’s
own prescription ; its harmless, and at the same
time extraordinary good effects, and the number
of cures testified to by many of the most respect
able citizens of Richmond, Va., and elsewhere,
must be conclusive evidence that there is no
humbug about it. The trial of a single bottle
will satisfy the most sceptical of its benefits.—

Nursing Mothers.— Many ladies,
while nursing, suffer from a sore and inflamed
nipple, which is not only painful to themselves,
but causes uneasiness to the child, whose heated,
irritated gums inflict increased suffering upon
the distressed but patient parent; this afflictive
state of things, mu|( be remedied by a moderate
application of the “Balm of Thousand Flowers,’’
which will allay the inhumation, and render de
lightful and painless the most important function
of maternal love and duty. Thousands of young
mothers have been cured by the “ Balm,’’ of in
humation in the breast, sore nipple, caked milk,
and other accidents incidental to a nursing time-
The salutary effects of the “Balm” are immedi"
ate and permanent.—For sale by Bkxj. G. Lid

I HAVE REMOVED my Boot and
Shoe Shop from where I used to be SHU
to where I am now —that is: between
W. M. Burnett’s saddlery shop and
Camp’s store —opposite the Court House, where
1 would be pleased to sec all my old customers
and as many new ones as will favor me with
their patronage.
I warrant all work done in my shop, and will
repair all failures, without charge. Those in
want of Boots or Shoes would do well to call at
my Shop. WILLIAM GLEASON.

STONE MOUNTAIN HOUSE.
THE Proprietors of this large and splen-^t^.
did new Brick Building, which has njjjl
just been fitted up in elegant style, with Hm'Sh
entire new Furniture, would respectfully inform
the Public that they have at length completed
and opened it for the accommodation of perma
nent and transient Boarders.
They have made every effort to arrange it in
such a manner as to render their guests com
fortable. And having had a long experience,
they do not intend to be excelled by any land
lord.
The Furniture, as well as the house, is perfect
ly new.
Those acquainted with the topography of
Georgia, know that within her limits exist some
of the most sublime and magnificent works of
Nature, and Stone Mountain justly ranks as one
of the number.
Southerners who wish to spend their summers
at the South, instead of going North, will find
the climate bracing, and the water pure as the
purest. The climate is not surpassed.
The Proprietors flatter themselves that those
who call once, will be well-enough satisfied to
call again.
Georgia Railroad Trains stop for Supper
at this House.
