Washington, August 8.
The Senate was ehiefiy occupied tn-dny, in the dis
cussion of Mr. Pkarck’s hill, and the various amend-
inenta submitted by Mr. Ewing ami Mr. Dayton.—
The first of there amendments proposed to adopt
nearly tbo tame line propored in the Otnnibus bill
tile differ* nee being against Texas. Tin- amendment
oi Mr, Dayton, modestly proposed that the public
lands of 'Texas should he relfaei d to the U. States,
until the ten millions were received by the U. Stares,
when the land remaining should revert to Texas. In
other words lie proposed to adopt the policy of Billy
Termination, whoso standing offer was “ ten bushels
of potatoes, and dig ’em out of your own patch."
* The amendments were rejected by very decided
rotes.
In the House, thn committee on the memorial of
Miss T, I, Dix, reported a bill granting 10.000 acres of
land to be divided among the several Stutes for the
relief and support of the indigent insane.
After some unimportant bu.-iiiePs the appropriation
billwns taken tip, when Mr. BaoWNof Mils., add re-*,
fid the Hcuso for an hour again.t the jyriitiona as
sumed in the President’s menage in regard to the
boundary queetim. He characterised the message
as the most extraordinary which emnnnted from an
American President. He said the kite which bad ac
cidentally fallen into the eagle’s nest had threatened
a sovereign State with the nrmeol'thr Federal Union,
because such a State had attempted to exercise the
rights whigh belonged to her by the provisions ot
the treaty between Tbxbb and tile United States. He
quoted the resolution admitting Tc-xns into the Un on,
to show that, by such act of admission, the claims of
Texas to 42 degrees north were recognised.
The committee rose and the House adjourned.

Mr Beutmi said that they were exactly at tile point

making Additional States out of the Territory of Tex-
h*. He foresaw and said, five years nc.i. that Texas
would make her own terms about the reduction of
her territory.
The question nnw was about buying a peace. Ho
said it they would purchase a pence in this case, they
would have a plenty ot customers hereafter, so long
as money would la-1 iu tho Federal coffers to make
tho purchase. He concluded by saying that lie would

QRKA T EXCITEMENT W WASHING TON.
Tlie Washington correspondent gives the following
particulars of the late attempt in Washington city, to
nhduct the slavesof Messrs Stephens and Tombs.
It affords a most striking illustration of the applica
tion of the non intervention principle, as understood
by the ulioiitioiilsts. JVc a-k what Bill.- of Compro
mise, sacrifice or submission cun qive peace and se
curity to the South white such a spirit actuates the
enemies of her institutions 1 The writer in the Sun
says:
For several weeks past the police of this city have
had reason to believe that qper.-on Jill the jiaino of
Win. I,. Chaplin, (together with some others in this
city,who it is not now deemed proper to mention ) lias
been the principal agent in running ott nil or nearly all
the runaway -lave- from thi-district. Tlie plan seemed
to lie for him to have a two-huive carryall or carnage
and start early iu the night 11c Would take two or
three and proceed through Maryland by tlie way of
Bandy ,Spring to Pennsylvania, they paying him 820
or 82,‘iia piece.
A few days s nee n particularly constructed two-
horse carriage arrived in this city, and put up, about
12 o’clock at night, at Hmifhry & BLeckclis 1 livery
stable, riu piciun immediately attached itself to
the affair ; and the olllcers were intent on wattiling
every movement. It was nscert ,ned that-Chaplin
conn mpliiti d moving on Tuesday night, the Gth in
stant : accordingly lie paid his bill, and liis carriage
was driven away by a tree yellow man. bv'the name
of Winner Harris, of the l-r. Ward. Harris played
around tlie oily, going at 11 number of places, until
10 o’clock, when he took ill, in tin- neighborhood of
41 mill U. streets, two runaway slaves, b-longing to
tin- lion. Mr. Toombs and the II n. Mr. Stephens,
both of Georgia, in the meantime a party had left
tin- c ty and proceeded to a ulnihle plnve up the road
l.-adingto Montgomery county. foptliepurpLS ofinter-
ceptin Cliapihi and bis .tub 11 propeity. After wait-
in.- until 01m o’clock, they concluded that something
had happened, and they returned to tin-city. It ap
peared that the negro Harris, after t(|king in the two
-laves referred to, drove ofi'at such a luriou- rate that
he run his hor.-e into a dray, in the rear of Brown’s
Hotel, and in-t ntly killed him—tho slaves jumped
out and cleared themselves, which stopped tlie expe
dition for that night.
On the 8th, < iiaplin bought another horse, and
settled his hill about ten o’clock in the morning, and
Harris drove off' again. Alter going round lii city
a good deal, lie brought up at his own house and
took out the horses, waich are a very fleet pair, mul
put them iu his stable, or one close to the house.
F,1.-y remained there until near night, when Harris
hitched up again and began to drive around the eity.
At this time tin- party ul police, and other citizens,
conei-ting ol Cupt. Goddard, olticers Untidy, Cox.
W .Hard, Davis, Win. Smith- y, John Cook n.ici
Richard Butt, of tlie county, repaired to the Dis
trict line lending to Montgomery, and there awaited
the arrival of Chaplin, who arrived at that place
about hall past eh veil o'clock.
The police being posted in proper manner, at the
appointed moment C fence rail was run through the
hind wheel of the carriage by Capt Goddard, which
brought it up, and at the same time two persons,
riinilhey and Cox, caught the horses by Hie head,
tlie balance of the party being at the sides of the
carriage. Chaplin, who was driving, whipped the
horses and fired h pi-tolnt riinilhey.'who had hold
of the near horse, which bullet went through liis
lint. At that time Davis Mini II indy pulled him ott'
the seat on to the ground, and 11 tierce contest took
place to secure him. Tue slaves inside, (who wore
luruished with revolvers,) were during this time
playing h quick game in firing at Goddard, Butt,
Wollard und Cuok. who were on each side mid in
front endeavoring to prevent their escaper, it was
almost pitch dark, and-grant caution hud to be ob
served to keep trom “hooting each other.
Mr. Toombs, servant made his escape, supposed to
he limily wounded fiorn tin- 'net id bis leaving his coat
a line ilitanei- tiffin the road, with much blood on it..
Mr. Stephens’ man was shot in the back, ami a bullet
went through his watch in his Ibb and lodged under
the face, which no doubt snved hjs life. He tired five
ot liis barrels, and Toombs’ man tired his whole six.
Chaplin fired but. once. Tue wonder is thut they
done no more damage than they did to the cilleers,
which consj-ted of Mr. Butts receiving a bulletin the
arm: Smithey one through his hat; Capt. Goddard's
eyelir iw soon bed with the tire of Stephens' man; Cos
a slight wound ih. the rjilit cheek.
The white man and Mr. Stephens' slave were
brought to the city and committed by Capt. Goddard
before daylight. The free luun.Ilun is, was arrested
and committed for further examination.
A telegraphic despatch in the Sun, dated Wash-
inton, 9th, rays:
The white man who was officiating in attempting
to abduct the slaves o Messrs, riteph -ns and Toombs
is nam'd Chaplin, He In hugs to Philndt Iphia
He is t,he person who tired first at tlie pursuers,
wounding one of th,- police officers. It proved, how-
ever, to lie only a flight ilesh wound. .Some others
ot the officers engaged in the capture were slightly
wounded. A black man. named Warner Harris, has
also been arrested us an accomplice in the uttriiy.
He was captured near .Sylvester Spring, on the farm
oi Mr. Bli-nfn. by Captain Goddard, Chief of tlie
I’olico. and Mr. Willard Handy, liis nasi-taut. Quite
« high - tut - of excitement now prevails, iu conse
quence of this atf.iir.

During the past week Cnpe Island has Bern a tho
atro ol wild, singular ami continued oxciti-inent—
tlio most bitter sectional feelings having been* en
gendered and encouraged, nr.d the most disgraceful
acts of arson and brutality attempted. On rfatur-

whole Dlnnd. It appears that nn in lividual hail

construed into imp *rtin ’lice by the g-'ntleuian from

saucily, refusing to take up the baggage at any tiiriri.

improvement in the manners and general conduct of

Struck by Lightning. On Monday forenoon,
during the thunder storm, the residence of Mr. IIar.
i.ey, mu Broughton street, opposite Messrs. Weeds'
new store, was struck by lightning. The only dam
age the building sustained was the loss of a few
weather boardi, A negro who was in the kitchen
at the time, was slightly stunned.
Considerable excitement was occasioned in
our community yesterday, by the appearance of a
placard m several public places, notifying our eiti-
7.ens that an abolitionist ivas to be tarred and feath
ered to-day. It seems thut u lew evenings since, a
Northern gentleman, while conversing with others on
the subject of abolition, made some remarks which
were deemed offensive und insulting to tlie compnnv,
among whom were ladies. On the tollcwing day the
person alluded to was notified to leave tlie city in a
given time, if he would avoid being roughly bundled
by those whose indignation had been excited against
him; whereupon he immediately innde a written state
ment in which he most explicitly disavowed any in
tention to affront the gentleman to whom ho had ad
dressed bis remarks, and wholly disclaiming any sen
timents hostile to the Booth and her institutions,
l'his explanation with tlie assurance accompanying
it whs deemed satisfactory by those who had felt it
their duty to take tlie mutter in hand, but a report
oi' tlie circumstances having got abroad, the hand bill
f yesterday was posted, and but for the etioTts of
the gentleman to whom this letter of explanation was
addressed, very unpleasant consequences might have
grown out. of it.
The circum.-tnnce should serve to caution those
among us who hold anti-slavery opinions ugniust in
dulging ton freely in their utterance, at a time like
the present, when the public mind is inure than ordi
narily sensitive on that subject Every individual is
undoubtedly entitled to his opinions, but opinions an-
tagunistical to the interests, nnd dangerous to tlie
peace of the community, had better be held strictly
as tlie private properly of their possessors and not
obtruded on those whom they are sure to otfend uud
irritate.
Mr. Stephens and the Northern Whigs.
Two yeura ago, when Messrs. Stephens and
Toombs gave their influence to the nomination nnd
election gif Mr. Winth. op, ns Speaker of the House,
and to the deieut ot the Clayton compromise—the
immediate effect of which was to keep Van Bu-
hkn in the field at the North, and thereby weaken the
Democrats in thut section in the Presidentul election—
tlieir talents and patriotism were the theme of the
Northern Whig press, tuill nothing too good could be
said of the Georgia members by the Washington Id
ler writers, on that side. But now, since the'so gen
tlemen have taken a stand tor the South, mid since
they have shown themselves unwilling utterly to sac.
riiiae themselves and tho interests o! tlieir section
for the unity and harmony of the great national Whig
parly, the tune is. changed, anti no language of abuse
or ridicule, is too severe in which to duuo..nce them.
File f Bowing is frutn the Washington correepond-
.itice of the Baltimore Clipper, a paper wnicli preach-
oh a great deal ol Southern doctrine, good bad and

The Clarke County Meeting.
At the aojourned meeting held in Athens on Tliurs-

• New York, Aug. 9.
The farce of nn inquest lias been performed, over
the bodies of tlie men who were killed by tho falling
of the buildings in .Spruce nnd Mercor at roots, nnd a
very wise verdict has been returned—in fact the jury
should be Irishmen, who arc so celebrated for bulls.
The jury say—"noblamo is to be attached to any
one; yet they would recommend that greater care
should hereafter he observed, in taking down build
ings;" so that there must have been if want of care on
the part of somebody, though no blame is to be at
tached to any body. O I wise jurymen, nnd much
wiser coroner.
flarnbnldi is still with his friends nt Hastings, on the
North River, living in strict privney. He lias "de
clined any and all parade, and proved himself n sen
sible man. Poor Paez, was trotted out again yester
day, and hnd to stand two mortal hours in the Gov,-
ernor’.- Room, shaking hands with all kinds of loaf
ers. He boro the infliction with great magnanimity,
but I thought, seemed mightily pleased when his keep-
,ers permitted tho show to be closed.
I am glnd to learn that there is a hope of recover
ing the statue of Calhoun from the wreck of the Eliz
abeth. A person has gone down to Fire Island pre
pared wit the necessary means, and writes encour.
agingiy. No more of tlie bodies have been found. As
1 expected it would be, the respectable pirates have
been admitted to bail, and returned to their homes to
enjoy the fruit of their villainy. The U. ri. Marshal
seems to trtke especial interest in them. They are to
appear before the court in September.
We are expecting the Pacific’s news hourly—she
has been out nine days, and should have been near
Halifax before this. It is probable however, that the
news boat has missed her.
The failure of Suyduin, Bago &. Co., does not in
volve any other firm. I understand. Their liabilities
exceed two millions of dollars, it is said, but tlie as
sets will afford a pretty fuii4|ividi!ud : indeed, many
suppose that they will yet come out nil right.
The tailors continue to talk very large, but appear
to have ht.d enough of fighting. Such physical de
monstrations are unpopular, and unprofitable, and
opposed to the spirit of tho age—they must now try
moral force, nnd produce such a pressure that the
niggnrdly paymasters must give way.
The largest sum that was over in the hnmls of the

A son of Moses Y. Bench is now in Harrisburg, Pa.,

The truth, however, is too palpable to be concealed.
By this nnd similar means, B.-tieh has realized a large
fortune, and th - worst feature of the transaction is,
that it has been drawn from the pockets of the poor
classes, who in many instances, were compelled to
take the bills of his banks, or get none, and although
individual losses, probably werenot of a considerable
amount, still to such people $10 or $20 were of great
importance, mid which they could ill afford to lose.
People seem to think that Daniel Webster will set
tle the difficulty with Portugal, without resorting to
arms. His name nnd reputation will doubtless do
much towards it, and as the Portuguese tire evidently
disposed to “ eat humble pie." the obstacles to a set
tlement will not be very formidable.

A steamer intended for the North river, is nearly
completed, which is to beat every thing that has ever
run upon these or any other waters. She is called
the Reindeer; is 390 feet long and 35 feet wide. Her
engines combine improvements, never before attemp
ted; and great results are expected As she is to com
pete with the rail roads, she ought to have some speed.

This statement of the result ot the proceedings, doea

Everyday brings us evidences of the bad state of
feeling which is growing up ut the North under the
agitation of tlie question of controver-y between the
North and the South in Congress. Only a day or two
ago we had an account of a disturbance in a hall room
ut Cape May, which crew out of insults offered to a
Southern gentleman by anegro waiter. In that af
fair a targe number of persons were involved, ana the
negroes got a sound thrashing. Tlie proprietor of the
hotel made a publication iu which he treated the dif
ficulty as a very trifling affair, stating that the servant
had been promptly di-ehurged. This was done with
a view to serve tlie interests of the hotel, as the
Southerner’s money is still received at par, at;these
wntering places. But itis well known that the dis-
turbance was n very serious one. A writer in the
Philadelphia Bulletin, while speaking of the Cape
May affair “ to show that the limit may have been
with tlie Southerner.” relates the following incident
which occurred in one of the Delaware steumbouts
plying between Cape May and Philadelphia.
A Southern gentleman and his wile were a little ton
late getting down to breakfast, and the table was
filled. 'File rule being to give Ladies and their com
panions a c hance, to take first' seats—next fill the
table with those nearest, and as soon as tilled, to lock
the passage doors giving the servants room to wai
on the table. When done, the next table is tilled
first inviting any Indies clown who may have been
asleep oricnlisposed to eat atfirst table.
The Chumbermaid, a colored girl, requested the
Southerner and wile not to descend to the dining
room, as the “table was lull," ho thereupon cursed
her Ibr nu -lmpudenuiegro ” She rejoined that such
W(*re “her orciera.’’ Hu at once became vioJe.it and
threatened -‘to cut her head oflT’ She told him “he
was not m the South .among slaves now.” By this
time the Captain interfered. Tlie man made serious
charges. The Captain inquired, and finally told the
Southerner that "tin- maid had her orders from him,
tor tlie purpose of promoting the comtort ol all on
his crowded vessel; but if ins eliurges against her us
aggressor had been sustained, she should lmve been
dismissed. On the contrary lie touud that tlie gen
tleman was himself tlie aggressor, by the testimony
of all who saw tho trouble; besides the testimony of
many cm board that tbei wives lmd been particularly
well cared for by the m ud. The. strong Southern
will seemed disposed to Hum up with this decision of
the Captain. All nus promptly settled, however by
r the Capiniu sternly saying, -tjtr, you are not in the
[1 ] South now. You cue with us where allure free- I

A good deal of c bating continued to Newcastle- and

Mr. Conn’s letter will answerits purpose perlisps

toeive the approval of hut a small portion of the South,
ern people of either party. We are convinced that
party affinities are daily becoming weakened nt the
South, and that our people will not as heretofore be
controlled in their action by political partisans wh 0
view all questions, even that involving the most vital
interests of the South, through the medium of tlieir
own interests, and who trim their courseto catch the
breeze of popular opinion of the North in the hope
of making themselves available in future contingen
