THE SHARES in'the Ridgway Farm. and
Coal Compan.y have been raised from Two
Hundred Dollars to Three Hundred Dollars
after the first of June. This has'been done in
consequence of the great rise in gOod Elk
County Lands within the past year. It forms
a fine tract of the best Coal as well as Farm
ing Land, and the, property in the vicinity is
sellingmuch higher. It is principally bought
up by Coal Companies. In a short time it
will no dOubt be taken out of-the market al
together by Capitalists. The Company sells
at,,the old rates until the Ist of June.
THE WEATHER is getting warmer, and
we would again remind our Council and citi

measures for the protection of the public
health.

l'iolence in the fulled States Senate fhninber, An RerL7l , - fratrhed mid Nrrivred bp,
I:nmodiately after the adjournment of the
U. S. Senate, on Thursday, while Senator
Sumner, of '.llassachuntts, WaS Still in the
Senate Chanilwr, Mr. Brooks; a member ofthe
House from South 'Carolina, entered, and ap-
proaching. Senator Sumner, accused him of
libeling. South Carolina and his grey-headed
relative, Senator Butler—and upon saying
this, struck him with a gnt,t,u, .percha cane
several times, which felled him insensible to
the floor. Messrs. Crittenden, Toombs, Mur
ray, ansi others, interfered, and prevented
farther damage.
Mr. &tamer was taken to his room, and
medical aid at once summoned.
Mr, Brooks was arrested shortly after, and
was- taken -before Justice Polling,shead,. who
held him to bail in $501) to answer.
• A despatch from Washington says,rthere
are various opinions on the subject, and-/quite
contradictory. Many are applauding the act,
whilst others aro denouncing it.
• In regard to the cause of gm affair, the
Baltimore Sun says:
'The cause_ of this outrage both upon the
Senator and upon the sanctity of the Senate..
hall. was, it appear,s,___!±_words____spoken__in___de—
hate" by Mr. Sumner in a verv.elaborate, and.
' 'evidently well studied speech, which he de
livered on Monday and Tuesday laSt, on the
Kansas and slat cry subject, and in which he
indulged, directly, in such character of per
' sonal allusions and comparisons as to calf forth
from Mr. Cass immediately thereafter the de
claration that "he regarded it as the most un-
American and unpatriotic speech that he had
ever heard upon that floor, and he hoped he
' might never hear such another there or else
where." It also elicited denunciatory• re
joinders from Messrs. Douglas, of 111., and
Mason, of Va., as shown in the sketch of the
debate given in the Sun the following day.—
Mr. Sumner had spoken of the Kansas mea
sure as the crime of crimes, and treated its
friends as the blackest of criminals; and as
showing' in part the -alleged provocation for
the present assault, we make the annexed ex
tract from the more full report:
"Before entering upon the argument, I must
'say something of a general chardeter, partic
ularly in ,response to what has fallen front
Senators who hate raised themselves.to emi
nence on this floor in championship of human
wrongs ; I mean the Senator from South Caro
lina (Mr. Butler,) and the Senator from Illi
nois (Mr. Douglas,) who, though- unlike as
Don Quixotte and Saneho Panza,_yet, like this;
couple, sally forth together in the same cause.
The Senator from South Carolina has read
many books of chivalry. and believes himself
a chivalrous'knight, with sentiments of honor
and courage. Of course he has chosen, mis
tress to whom be has made his vows, and who,
- th - o - ugh - ugly to - oth ers,.always lovely - to him
though polluted in the sight of the world;is
chaste in his sight—l Mean the harlot, Sla
yery.. I v or her hiS tongue is always profuse'
in, words. Let her be impeached in charac
ter, or any proposition made to shift her out
from the extention of her wantonness, and no
gaot,t.of mall ttei tic luau d .
tion 'is then too great for this Senator. The
• frenzy of Don Quixotte in behalf of his
wench Duleinea del Sohoso is all surpassed.
The asserted rights of slavery,. which shock
equality of all kinds, are cloaked by a fantas
tic claim of equality. If the Slave States can
not enjoy what, in mockery' of the great fath
ers of the c Republic, he misnames equality un
der the Constitution—in other words, the full
power in the National Territories to compel t
fellow-men to unpaid toil, to separate husband
and wife, and to sell little children at the auc
tion-block—then, sir, the chivalric Senator
will conduct the State of South Carolina out
of the Union! 'Heroic Knight! „Exalted
,
is ti
I• a _
Exodus !"
Mr, Sumner was better at last accounts, and
it was presumed lie would take his seat iu the
Committees to inquire into the faets of the
assault- were appointed in both Houses on
Friday—Mr. Cass heading the Seuate Commit
tee, and Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, that of the
House..
Mr•. Stuart gave notice in the Senate of a
resolution, declaring it out of order tur any
Senator in debate to use language reflecting
discourteously upon the conductor motives of
any other Senator, AS'L.e.

NEW YORK, May 22.—The steamer Quaker
City arrived here at midnig,hr last night. She
brings dates to the ISth. There were rumors
at Ifavaim that the Spanish Government was
to fit out immediately at that port an expedi
tion to pt.( weed to Costa itica to operate against
Walker in Nicaragua, and that a distinguish
ed Spanish officer had already been despatch
ed to the scene of future action.
Further - rumors state that Vera Cruz was to
he blockaded and bombarded by the Spanish
forces in order to enforce the payment of cer
tain claims due from Mexico to. the Spanish
Government. —This movement, it is said, is to
proceed immediately. Unusual activity was
prevailing among the Spanish men of war at
11;1v:um in getting ready for sea, which would
seem to give credence to the rumor.
