Colquitt, the Commissioner of the At lantic aud Gulf Railroad for Baker county, was present, and u Railroad meeting held ou Mon day, but no one subscribed anything; and up to the time of our leaving on Wednesday night, we were iufurmed nothing had been subscrib ed." Bi.oody Assai-i.t—About two o'clock yes- terday, amonster named Andrew Keaton made a bloody aud cowardly assault upon his wile, os we are informed, witli n large {racket knife, inflicting several dangerous wounds upon tier person, probably disabling her left hand for life. We understand that the wounds about her head are even dangerous. A physician was promptly on the spot, and dressed the wouuds. The woman bears a respectable character, whilst her hnsband is n drunkard. Ho made tlie assault whilst under tiie influence of rum. He was carried to the lock-up, and will he brought before his Honor Mayor Anderson tills morning for examination. Tile Rev. Pardee Butler of Kansas. We publish to-day a letter from Rev. Pardee Butler, to the New York Tribune. Wo had a few days ago to allude to tlie misrepresentation which were made of us in Kansas,comparing the correspondents ofcertalu papers of tlie North to the celebrated German Baron of mendacious re putation. Tho Rev. Pardee may with pro-, priety be termed tho ‘Muncbamm Ecluiaitic' of tho Tribune. We have no doubt whatever that there are thousands, ay! tens ol thousands nt the North, who believe every word of such stuff. It might safely be relied upon ns n rule injudgingofsuch correspondents; 1st. That no such man as tho Rev. Pardee Butler exists, 2d. That If ho does live, he has no character, is not nu actual in- habitant of tho Territory, oris tho actual pnid agent of the Tribune ; 3d. That no such occur rence over took place; or i f anything approach ing it ever did, lie has not given such an account as would Ira recognized hy any of tho parties present at the time. Wo publish It because it is rather amusing than otherwise. [From tho Balubrldgo Argus.] Savannah—The Pride of Georgia* At a public meeting of the citizons of Sav annah, on the 14th instant, the following reso lution, on motion of Wm. B. Hodgson, Esq. , was adopted : Resolved, That tho Mayor and Aldermen are hereby instructed to subscribe two hundred thousand dollars to tho Atlantic ft Gulf Railroad aa soon as they are assured that the sum of fouv hundred thousand dollars has been subscribed, ttorn fide to said road by other parties. Thus It will be seen that, without the slightest difficulty, this noble and patriotic old city has put her hand to tho paper, In behalf of Southern Georgia, and, Io, two hundred thousand dollars is legibly and Indclllbly written. \vc know the old lady is rich, and able to assist those who look to her for aid ; yet, rich as she Is, her heart is fully as large as \icr purse, aud if the truth was known, it would bo found to bo a good deal larger. Wo would likewise remark, that notwithstanding her remarkable age, her eve has lost none of tlie fire, her spirit none of the energy, enterprise and patriotism they possessed in the days of her girlhood, when the revored Oglethorpe pressed tlie trem bling maiden to his heart. And though beauti ful lu youth, aud claiming many admirers, she is more beautful and attractive in oldugc.uud her admirers embrace, almost, the entiru popu lation of the Empire State of the South.

A gathering of •' Old Line Wldgs” was held at Memphis last Saturday night. On taking tlie cludr Leroy Pope, Esq., delivered an eloquent speech commencing ns follows: We have met. here to-night to counsel and console each other in the midst, of our troubles, as political shiners. We have come to see aud and to inquire if tlie little remnant of the good old Whig party, hi ami about Memphis, is so broken, ami disheartened, and disbanded, aa to tlud “ uouo so pour as to do them reverence.” Of that glorious phalanx were there but three hundred, nay, were there but three, I should be proud to ho recognized as one of that three, and •hould hold myself ever ready to tread tho pass- of a new Thermopyhu in Uefeuse of its time honored Hag.

Deserted, but not annihilated, our little bund seems to be standing on tho shore of the wide ocean of Am erican freedom, and there watching the tem pestuous play of the waves, as they are driv en to ana fro by tlie breath of contending fac tions. Far aloof from the radicalism of one party, the fanaticism of unother, and the dis- socializing proscription of a third, we have kept our faith and our allegiance nn.scduced.un- contaminated and undisturbed by the mad ele ments of strife ami commotion around us. As regards tlie coming contest, Mr. Pope said: In tho approaching Presidential Cauvass, with open aud magnanimous confidence, let us go with that party, by whatever name It maybe called, which holds out to us the strongest as surances of safety to the South, and of security to tho Union—reserving to ourselves the pri vilege of returning to our ancient faith when ever it cun be made effectual in the political organizations of the dny, or in the councils of the nation. Whatever temporary alliances we may form, let us continue truo to ourselves; aud, whenever and wherever we can, let us hold on to Whig instincts, Whig sympathies, nnd Whig principles.

Pardee flatter, Described by Himself. Lawkknck, Wednesday, May 7,1850. One year ago 1 came to Kant** and bought a claim ou Sugar Creeks Atchison comity. On the loth of August the Border Ruffians of the town of Atchlaon aent me down the MIsbou- ri River on a ralt , . , . . We parted under a mutual pledge—I, that if my life waaspared,! would come back to Atch- laou: and they, that If I did come hack, they would hang me. Faithful to my promise, in November but 1 returned to Kansan with my Ikmlly; visited Atchison In opeu day, announced myself on hand, and returned without molestation. . Kansas being yet aparcely settled, and having few meeting housoa li was determined that Mrs. Butler should live on our clalma with her broth er’s wife, while I should return to Illinois aud resume my lubora as a preacher. 1 have been for a number of years iu the employ of church es iu tho comities of Brown and Adams, Illinois, a majority of whose memlier were, I suppose, horn aud raised lu Kcutucky. April tillth I returned to Kausas aud crossed the Missouri at Atchisou. 1 spoke to no one in town, suvo with two merchants of tho place, with whom I lmd business transactions siucc my llrst arrival In tho Territory. Having re mained only a few minutes, I went to my bug- ry to resume my journey, when 1 was assaulted jy Robert 8. Kelly, Junior editor of the 8qnat- ter Sovereign, anu others, wus dragged into a roccry, and there surrounded by a company of _>oiitli Carolinians, who are reported to have been sent out by a Southern Emigration-Aid Society. In this last mob, I noticed only two were citi zens of Atchisou or engaged in tho former mob. It is reported that these emigrants from the Palmetto State seek out a claim and make for themselves a home; neither do they enter into any legitmato business. They very expressive ly descrllai themselves as having “come out to see Kansas through#?. They yelled-“Kill him!” “Kill him!” “Hang the d-d Abolitionist!” One of their number hustled up to mo nnd demanded— “Huvo you a revolver H l replied—“No.” Uelutndcdmna pistol, saying, “There,take thatjuid stand oil' ten steps, uud G—d—11 you ’ will blow you through In an Instant!” 1 replied, “ 1 have 110 use for your weapon.” 1 aftcrvvurds heard them congratulating them selves in reference to this—that they had lieeu honorable with me. The fellow was furious; but his tomimnlons dissuaded him from shoot ing me. Ruylug they were golug to luing me. If I can picture to myself the look of a Cuban bloodhound, just ready with opeu jaws to seize a puntiug slave iu a Florida swamp, then 1 im agine wo have a correct daguerreotypo of the expression worn hy these emigrant representa tives of the manly scutimeut, high-toned cour age nnd magnanimous feelings of the South Carolina chivalry when lirst they scented—in their own imagination—tho blood of a live “Abolitionist.” ‘‘Hang him!” thoy yelled; “hang him, hang thdd—d Abolitionist!” Thoy pinioned my arms behind me, obtained a rope, but were interrupted by tho entrance of a stranger, u gentleman from Missouri, since as certained to be Gen. Tut, a lawyer, of Buchan an county. He said: “ My friends hear me. I am an old man, and it Is right you should hear me. 1 was born in Virginia, ami have lived many years in Missou ri. 1 am a slaveholder, and desire Kansas to he made u slave State, if it can bo done by honor able means. But you will destroy the cause you ure seeking to build up. You have tukcu this man, wlio was passing through your streets and along the highway, doing no person auy harm. We profess to be law aud order men, and should l>e tne last to commit violence. If this man has violated tlie law, let him be punished according to law; hut for the sake of Missouri—for the sake of Kansas—for the sake of the Pro-Slave ry eauso, do not act in this way.” They dragged me into another grocery aud appointed a moderator. Kelly told his story. 1 rose to my feet, uud calmly, and iu respect ful language, began to tell miue. I was repeat edly jerked to my seat, and so roughly handled that 1 was compelled to desist, My trleud tW>m Missouri again earnestly be sought them to set me at liherty. Kelly turned short ou him and said, “Do you belong to Knnsas V” He replied, “No; but I expect to live here iu Atchison next fall; and in thia matter the in terests of Missouri uud Kansas are identical.” Mr. Lamb, a Lawyer in Atchison, and Mr. Dix on, a merchant of the same place, both pro slavery men, also united with Gen. Tut in plead ing that I might be set at liberty. While these gentlemen were thus speaking, I heard my keepers mutter—“D—n you, If you don’t hush up, we’ll tar aud feather you!” When Kelly saw how maters stood, he came forward und said—“He did uot take Butler to have him hanged, only tarred and feathered.” Yet in the other grocery they had said to the mob “ they should do us they pleased i ” He dared not take the responsibility of taking my life; but when these unfortunate men, whose one-idea-ism on the su Id ect o f slavery and South ern rights has become Insanity—when these ir responsible South Carolinians, sent out to be bull dogs uud blood houndB for Atchison and Stringfellow—when they could be used as tools to take my life he waa ready to do it Our gunpowder moderator cut the discussiou short, by saying, “ It is moved that Butler be tarred aud feathered, aud receive thirty-nine lushes.” A majority said “Aye,” though a number of voices said “No.” The moderator said, “ the af firmative has it.” I began to speculate how that sort of thing would work os far uortli us the latitude of Kau nas. There was a good deal of whispering about tho house. I saw durk, ominous and threatening looks in the crowd. The moderator again cainc forward, and, in an altered voice, said: “// is moved that the last part of the. sentence be rescinded It was rescinded, 1 was given into tho hands of my South Caro lina overseers to be tarred and feathered. They muttered and growled at this issue of tlie mat ter, “IJey , said there, “if wo lmd known it “would Imvoicome out in this wuy, we would have let shoot Butler at the lirst. He would have done it quicker than a flash.” One little shurp-vlsaged, dark-featured, black- oyed South Carolinian, as smart as a cricket, who seemed to be tlie leader of the gang, wus particularly displeased. “D—n you/’ said lie, “ if 1 came all the way from South Caroliuuaud spent so much money to do things up in such milk and water stylo as this.” They stripped me naked to the waist, cover ed my body with tar, and then, lor the want of feathers, applied cotton wool. Having appoint ed n Committee of throe to certuinly hang me tlie next time I should come to Atchison, they teased my clothes into my buggy, put me there in. accompanied me to the suburbs of the town, ami sent me nuked out upon tlie prairie. 1 adjusted my attire about me as best 1 could, and hastened to rejoin my wife and two liitle ones on the banks of the Stranger Creek. It was rather a sorrowful meeting utter so long a parting. Still, wewero vory thankful that, un der the blessing ol a good Providence, it lmd fared uo worse with us all. Tim lirst mob that wnt me down the Mis souri River on a rail—always excepting Robert S. Kelly—wero courteous gentlemen,compared with this last one. When 1 was towed out into tlie middle ot Hie stream I do not remcmlier to huvo heard a word spoken hy tlie iuuii ou the shore. This last mob, when they lull me eu tlie border of tho town, shrieked ami yelled like a pack of New Zealand caiuiilmls. The tirst mob did not attempt to abridge my right of speech. 111 reply to all the hard and bitter things they said against me, they patiently heard mo to the end. But these men who have come to intro duce into Kansas tliat order of things that now exists in South Carolina, savagely gagged me into silcnco by rapping my face, ehoaking 1110, pulling my beard, jerking me violently to uiy seat, ami exclaiming, “D—n you, hold your tongue 1” A11 this was done while my arms were pinioned In-hind me t Many will ask now, as they Iiavo asked al ‘ready, wlmt Is the true uml proper causo of all these troubles which I have had lit Atchison. I huvo told tho world already, and I can only re- mat my own words. 1 have said: “Tho very head and front of iny oll'ending hath this ox- tent, no more.” I lmd spoken among my neigh bor* 1'avomblo for making Kansas a Freo Stute. It is true that Kelly, by uu afterthought, has two new counts to his bill of Indictment agaiust tne. The lirst is that I went to the town of Atchisou last August, talking Abolitionism. 1 imvo not tlie honor of bolng an Abolitionist And second, that I spoke, somehow or other im properly in the presence of slaves. All this is not only utterly (also, hut the charges are ox- post facto ; Tor uot a word was said of thia the day they put rue on tho raft The New York Tribune publishes me os a Methodist preacher that was put on a raft for preaching abolitionism. I am a member of tho denomination known u* Disciples (Campbell- Ues), uud have uever alluded to the subject of slavery In my preaching. I published a narra tive ot tho whole uflUlr In the Missouri Demo crat, not one word of which ha* ever been de nied, to the best of my knowledge, except this: I sold 1 had heard that Kelly waa born in Mas sachusetts. He nya he waa not bora there; that he wo* bora in Virginia* Robert S. Kelly, , uiiior editor of the Squatter Sovereign, aud toverament Printer, shall, be bora Jon where he pleaaea. Still It will be regarded aa myateriOhi and in credible that a man should receive such treat ment for uttering such words aa I report myself to have uttered. The matter la clear enough when the foots are understood that I will ex plain. Prior to August 10,1855, there waa, proper ly speaking, no Free-State party organized in Atchlaon County, perhapanot the whole Terri tory or Kanina. Free voters did not know their own strength, and all were disposed to bo pru dent—some were timid. Hero In Atchison County we wero determined that if tho Border Ruffians wero resolved to drive matters to u bloody issue, the responsibility of doing so should rest wholly with themselves. There are many Free-Soilera in this County; brave men, who have no scruples to hinder them from urm- iug themselves and preparing to ropel force by force: The Border Ruffians sought, by a sys tem of terroism so to intimidate Frec-Sollera us to prevent them from organizing a Free-State Party, or even discuss.ug the sulject of Slavery and Freedom in Kansas. They carried this to such an extent of outrageous violence that ii came to be currently reported that it was nu much as a man’s life was worth in the towu of Atchison to say: “I am a Free Boiler.” We deprecated violence uud wished a peace ful discussion of the subject. It was therefore moat lilting that a man whose profession for bade him to go urmetl should put to the test of actual experiment whether un Aincrcan citizens of blameless life could permitted to enjoy the the right ot free speech—the privilege of ex pressing views favorable to making Kansas u Free State—such views being uttered without anything of aiigry.ubusiveor insulting language. It was for tills purpose tlie above words were spokeu, uud which lias been the cause of all niy troubles in Atchison. if the llorder Ruffians had permitted mo to depart in peace they would have been without tho shadow of an excuse to mitigate its atrocity. Bat, whatever might have lieen the result, I had counted the cost and was prepared to abide the Ihsuc. If there ho any class of men tliat stand be hind tlie curtain and pull the wires, we would respectfully recommend to them that it will do no good to urge these underst rappers on to these deeds ol' violence aud ruffianism. We are not of a class of men to utter childish com plaints at any wrongs we may sutler, but we know our rights, und we intend to have them. lu conclusion, wo would suggest to Smith Carolina that she had better send for her emi grants home again. They will do her cause more harm than good. However tills way ot doing work may do among the Held hands of u rice plantation, it won’t do here at ull. We, iu Knnsas, are not liiadu of metal to lie worked in such a tire. Respectfully, Paiidkk Buti.kh. A Ainu Voluntarily In lied for Forty- nine Years. * The last London Illustrated News has the fol lowing : On Friday, the 7th of April, were consigned to their linal resting place, in the church-yard of Keighley, Yorkshire, the mortal remains of one of the most eccentric individuals that ever lived; in fact, a parallel seems scarcely possi ble, of a man voluntarily going to lied in good health, aud remaining t here for a period ot for ty-nine years i lio went by tho. cognomen of “Old Tlireeliips” in the neighborhood, hut his real name was William Sharpe. He lived in un isolated house called “Worlds,” (probably an abbreviation of “World’s End,”) not fur from Uraitlnvuitc, in the parish of Keighley. He was the sou of a small funner, bom A. I>. 1777, and from an early age showed little predisposi tion for steady work. When thirty vearsot uge he took to his bed aud the room, which he uev er left till curried thence ou the day of his fu neral. The cause of this extraordinary conduct is believed to have been a matrimoniul disappolut- meut: his wedding day was fixed; accompa nied by a friend be weuded his way down to the parish church, and there patiently awaited the arrival of his bride elect; but she uever came; her father haviug sternly and steadily refused his consent. Henceforth the young man con signed himself to a small room, nine feet squure, with the determination of spending tho remain der of bia existence between the blankets— which resolution he kept most unflinchingly. jjitAt the time of Sharpe’s death, the window of hia room had^uever been opened for thirty- eight years. Jn this dreary abode did this stranger being Immure himself. He constantly refused to speak to any one, aud, if spoken to, never answered; even to those who wero his constant attendants. His father, by his will, made provision for the temporal wauto of his eccentric son, and so secured him a constant at tendant. During the whole period of this self- imposed contlneraent, he never had any serious Illness, the only case of indlsposltiou, those about him can remember, being a slight loss of appetite for two or three days, caused apparent ly by indigestion, aud this notwithstanding, he ate on the average, as much us any farm labor er. Though arrived at the age of seventy-nine years his flesh'was firm, fair, and unwriukled, save with fat, and his weight was estimated at about two hundred and forty pounds. The curious used to come from far and wide to see him, but whenever a stranger was ushered into his deu he immediately buried his head beneath the bed clothes. About a week before his death his appetite began to fail, aud his limbs became partiullv benumed, so thut be could not take his food in his accustomed mauuer. From this uttack he seemed to rally, and not until the evening before his dentil wero any apprehen sions entertained that the attack wonld be fatal. However, during the night of Sunday, April 2, he boenme rapidly worse, nnd died nt four the following morning. Shortly before ho expired he was heard to exclaim: “ Door Bill—Poor Bill--Poor Bill Sharpe!” Uie most connected sGutenco he hud hecu kuown to utter for many a year. NOTICE C. It. ft.

Mr. Sumnrr’a Speec h «n7t «iie IUi n „ rlt ' 1 upon It. We publish below the remarks of Me.isi-. Cass, Douglas and Mason upon this remarkable* speech. We have rend the remarks of Mr. Sum- nor upon the Hon. A. P. Butter, of South Caro. Una. They aro perhaps ns personal mid oliensive os they could well »>o, charging him with fate-, hood und a few other trifles of t|mt kind. Hi* attack on Mr. Mason, of Virginia, one of the moat worthy and excellent of men, is tlie nio.-,t disgusting production of the age. Mr. Butler was absent from Washington at the time which accounts for the act of Mr. Brooks. The whole speech may he found in the two last num hers of the New York Tribune. Mr. Cass said he had listened to Mr. Sumner’s speech with equal regret und surprise. It was the most un-American and unpatriotic speech lie ever heard ou this floor. He hoped he might never hear such a speech again, here;or else where. Ho did not rise, however, to rauke com- meats on that speech, open as it was to censure and disapprobation, hut to soy thut the Senator from Massachusetts hud totally tnisunder.-tooi] and misapplied the case of Michigan. Tlie Tr> S ijka Convention showed no unalogy between le proceedings in Michigan And those in K uu . Sits. Mr. Douglas adverted to the malignity which characterized Mr. Sumner’s speech,& the many personalities in which it abounded, lie compar ed it to a patchwork licdquilt, made up from ail the old calico dresses in the hourejuid ahoimdii t' hi classical allusion*, most of which were Irani portions of the clasnics which were suppress ,i iu respectable and decent college*. That speedi was written ami committed to memory •. jam-, tieed before a glass, a negro boy holding a candle and watching the gestures, It was re hearsed to friend*, uud they repeated lu loons of tlio city wlmt lie wn* going to my. Those libel* aud insults, so gross and vulgar, had been conned over and written with coot ui.d deliberate miilignity, and repeated night alter night in order to find tlie appropriate grace with which to spit them ut men who differ'‘with him. Wlmt right had he to arraign tlure- fourth* of the Senate for dereliction of duty? Did the menus bv which ho got lit re give him tlie superiority? Mr. Douglas said lie had Is-eii ar raigned a* a conspirator uml u traitor by a man (Sumner) himself guilty of crime, having taken tho oath to support tho Constitution and tin n violuted it. Alluding to Mr. Sumner’s attack on Senator Butler, who was now absent, Mr. Douglas said Mr. Sinn nor would on Ids return whisper a secret apology iu his ear, and want him to accept tliat as a proper satisfaction, lie (Douglas) knew liow that was done. (Laugh, ter.) He then defended Mr. Atchison from the charge of acting the part of Catiline. Mr. Mason said—Political relation*, in obedi- eucotothe forms of our Government, bring Scuatorsinto associations which, beyond the wall* of the Senate chamber, are diriwnor, and touching whose hand would be pollution. They were compelled to listen to language here fe which no gentleman would lend an ear else where. They bear it in obedience to the Con stitution uud the trust which they have under taken to perform. He (Mr. Mason) defended Atchison, whom he was proud to call his fiend und said that when Mr. Sumner du red, in tlie pi e- sence of tlio Senate, to connect Judge Butin’s name with an untruth, he presented 'himself ns one utterly Incapable of knowing what trtilli i*. In conclusion he accused Mr. Sumner of falsifi cation with regard to his (Mason’s) rentalk-- concerning Southern institutions.
