On last Sunday evening just before Run

tho deed must have been behind the spring
liovse, and when M r. lviscl camo within a
a few feet of him, he discharged a load of shot
in his brain, aud relieved him of his money.
No clue has as yet been obtained of tho vil

very eccentric mun, living entirely alone, und
some distance from his neighbors. Ho was

a desultory discussion ensued on mi miry
amendments.
At 4 o'clock an unsuccessful motion was
made to adjourn.
Mr. Toombs obtained the floor, saying,
thut as the Senate was anxious to discuss the
(ticstioii now, he would proceed to give his
views ut large.
Mr. Hunter Will the Senator yield the
floor for n motion to adjourn ?
Mr. Toombs. No sir. The Senate has
just refused to adjourn. I intend to speak
on the subject, nnd when tho Senators get

Toombs proceeded to give the history of the
rise und progress of tho Navy, going back to
the foundation of the government.
Very few Senators remained in their seats,
und there was much conversation going on in
audible tones.
Tho Speaker several times railed tho Sen
ate to order, when Mr. Toombs said, "the
talking does not disturb mo in the least. 1
am glad to hear Senators discussing the sub

C3"Tho friends of Mr. Fillmore nre deter

by the following orticle from the 'Amcricun

Should the Republican color lead, Americans

meiit to the pending resolution
objection was made.
Mr. Meacham moved the previous question,
which was ngreed to.
Mr. F.dmundson, by general consent, made
n statement all'ectiug himself.
Mr. Kdinunsoii said he did not complain of
the conclusions of the Committee as to the
effect of his testimony, but objected to the
grounds on which they proposed to celiMiro
him. While he had been interrogated on all
points concerning his knowledge of the affair,
was it nut singular that the Committee did
not serve a notice on him to uppear iu his
own behalf? The Committee sought to celi
suro him because, having bton in'onnid of
the contemplated assault, he did Hot lake the
means to prevent it, or inform Senator Sum
ner of his danger. Now, he thought if any
one was iu danger, it was Mr. Brooks, who
hid only a walking stick, while the report had
cone out that M r. Sumner was uriued. He
would have degraded himself if ho had re
vealed what hud been privately suid to him
by Mr. Brooks, uud the condemnation of the
llotise could produce no chung.i iu his mind
on that point. If he was to bo punished for
not turning traitor to n friend, if degraded
for this, then be was ready for his sentence.
He had no idea of taking any pait in the oc
currence, unless som.! third party should
attempt foul play on either tide. In that
event ho would have adopted the Kentucky
und Virglnfii doctrine, und insisted upon fa r
play. He was there to do justice or nothing,
flu's was the only ground on which lie wus
invited to be there, nor would ho have been
there on any other terms. Tho committee,
in their report, say that his conduct was rep
rehensible. This was un unjust word, und
wounded his Sensibilities, lie said, iu re
spouse to n question by Mr. Dunn, thut the
first intimation lie hud '.hat the committee
designed censuring, wus from the correspond
ent of a newspaper, and further, he would
have satit-lj d the committee, had he had uu
opportunity that he wou!d liute interfered
only iu case of foul play.
Mr. Pennington said, so far as be was Con
cerned, he was anxious that Mr. Fdiuundsoii
should bu heard bel'oro the committee, hulas
the gentlemiin had made no such request, Mr.
P. cume to the conclusion that lie hud nbuu
dolied the desire.
Mr. Ldmiinds.'U replied that it was too
late for him to avail himself of that courtesy
after the character of Ihe report had been
determined upon. As justice had been denied
him iu the tirnt place, he preferred uppculiug
to the Douse.
Mr. Orr desired to know whether Mr.
Sumner's te stimony was, on the evening of
the same day it was taken, furnished to the
newspaper press by the uiilhoiity or conni
vance of the comuiil tee.
M r. Campbell, of Ohio, gave this an urn -
qtuvocul uud omphalic denial.
Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, corroborated this
statement, saying that tho testimony alluded
to was not procured from uny ono connected
with the Comiiiitten.
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, said, Mr. Orr had
made a charge which involved his integrity
us a member, namely, thut the Committee
had sought, by this report, to muko political
capital.
Mr. Orr then replied, thut ho did not im.
pugn the motives or the gentleman or his
ussociates but the report itself looked us if
they" hud gone into the investigation to make
Presidential capitul. He stuted expressly,
that ho did not intend to reflect peisonul'y
on tho gentleuiun.
Mr. Campbell expressed himself satihficd.
He said that up to this morning liu bad not
only been willing, knt anxious that gontlo
mnn implicated in this transaction should
present facts. He argued that the real
question involved strike nt tho very exis
tence of tho government, whether the people
pliull havo the power to govern or whether
tho Constitution and laws shall bo on one
side, nnd the freedom of the cudgel on the
other.
Tho llotisn then voted on Mr. F.nglish's

Mr. Brooks rose to a question of privilege
saying that he had felt that tho lights of his
constituents uud the rights of members have
been violated by tho action of the House.
Mr. (iiddinus I wish to know what the
ques-tion of privilege is.
Mr. Brooks 1 will state it.
Mr. Dunn 1 ask that by unanimous con
sent the gentleman from S iuth Curolina be
heard.
M r. fiiddiugs For one I shall give no sncli

Mr. Ilustis It would be u cross violation
t.r courtesy and decency to deprive him of his
privilege.
Mr. Florence The gentleman from South
Curolina had risen, and was stating Ins ques
lion without oliiection. It wns not in ord
for Mr. Oiddings to object to his proceed
lug.
Tho Speaker U was competent for the
gentleman from Ohio to ruisu the question of
order.
Mr. (lidding? We have voted nnd did our
duty, and ought not to listen to a speech out
of order.
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, earnestly appealed
tn Mr. (iiddings to withdraw his objection.
Mr. Brooks ought to be heard, as iio was vi

Mr. Comins likewise appealed to Mr. (iid
dings to withdraw his objection, nnd Ml'- Oid-
tiings yielded only on the ground ol sntislytng
his friends.
The members crowded in the neighborhood
of Mr. Brooks, and the spectators intensely
interested, leaned over the galleries to hear
him.
Mr. Brooks said that Mr. Sumner had ut
tered a slander on his Statu and n venerable
relative, who nt the time wusnhscut; nod
not content with this, he published the libel
on his State and blood. Whoever insulted
South Carolina insulted him ; be stood readi
ly nt ull times, humbly und modestly, us a son
to perforin his dutv. lie should have forfeit

his countrymen, if he had permitted the of
fence to pass unpunished. It was a personal
nll'.iir. and in taking the redress into his own
hands he tveunt no disrespect to the Senate
or House, ucr -"d he mean any disrespect to

believed, had voted aguiiift him contrnry to

staflian member, for which the Speuker called
him to order.
Mr. Brooks snid Mr. Pennington charged
the assault as murderous, and that with a
bludgeon, 1 had attempted to kill Mr. Sum
ner. My friend from Massachusetts, over
there, has n pretty good sized stick, 1 would
thank him to raise it and submit it to the
inspection of tho gentleman from New
Jersey.
Mr! Do Witt, the gentleman alluded to,
held up his stick for u moment, (laughter.)
Mr. Trufton here rose nno usked that the
disorder in the g tileries be quieted, uud that
thev bu cleared. (Hisses from thu galler
ies. The Speuker said that if tho disturbance
was repeated, he would give that order.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee Why I don't
hear und up there just now.
Mr. Brooks, looking up. If! have any
friends in the galleries I appeal to them to
be quiet. If 1 desired to kill the Senator
from Masssachusetts, why didn't I do it?
You ull udmit that I had it im my power.
Let me tell the gentleman from New Jersey
that, expressly to prevent the taking of life,
I took un ordinary cane, presented to me by
a friend in Baltimore; I went to the Senate
deliberately ; 1 hesitated whether I should
use a horsewhip or a cowhide ; knowing the
strength of the Senator to bo superior to
mine, I thought he might wrest it from me.
If ha hud 1 ni'ght huve done n hut I should
have regretted for the remainder of my life.
A Voice He could have killed him.
Ten days ago foreseeing what the action of
the House would be, my resignation was put
into the bauds of tho Uovernor of South Car

Mit. Editor: Thus fur the question of
who shall be our next member of Congress
from this district, bus created but very little
excitement. It is true, a few trimmers to
head olf thu immaculate Colonel, at our last
county meeting procured the adoption of a
resolution conceding the next nominee for
Congress to Northumberland County. This
pel haps is not very far from justice, had it
been coupled with the idea who the nominee
should be, iiiusniiich as the frieiidsjtnd oppo
nents of Unit resolution, with few exceptions,
nre decidedly in favor of thu nomination of
omo person belonging to the Democratic
iii-yiu Norlhuiiibeiland (..ounly, w ho pos
sesses the requisite talent, integrity uud re
spectability, ami that such u person may be
found uinoug our friends there no one here
doubts. Let this be the only requisition ol
the nominee, nud my word for it. our friends
iu the county will stand by it manfully.
If, however, on thu other baud, our friends
in Northumberland County should determine
ollierwiKe, nnd nguiii think of fiiisliug upon lis
one. who has mil lung to recommend him either
at home or abroad but n cnllh instead ol abil
ilies, they will most assuredly find their error
upon a count of tiiu ballots on the second
Tuesday of October next. Such n statu of
things we would all deprecate, nnd no one
more than the writer of this mH oing. lor such
is what is intended by thu writer oi this com
munication. May wo hope then, that our friends in
Northumberland will take this us n friendly
warning und drop the notion of again impos
ing upon us a cuudidatu rejected
twice already, and get up some new mun of
good standing in the democratic parly; one
who has never run against the ticket, nor as
sisted to defeat a pol l ion of it every Fall for
Yjcr? one who is possessed of talent ami
integrity, .;nd whose character lor industry
and sobriety ivor.'d bear the strictest scrutiny
uud public investigation. (Jive us n man, Sir,
that will come up to this Mandurd, and we
will guarantee, instead of defeat, that Schuyl
kill wiil give nt least fifteen hiuiilri d majority
for the nominee of Northumberland county.
