[■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.” Specif Notices.

Augusta, Jan. 24, 1856. n6-2m Wistar’s Balsam ol Wild Cherry, The Great Remedy for Consump tion, and all other diseases of the Pulmonary Organs. 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 the wrapper. Prepared only by Sktii W.

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.

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.

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.

Madison, January 10,1850. 3-ly 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. ALEXANDER & CLARKE, Proprietors. S. F.
