ELOrEMRNT r AM OBPHAK HKIRBSI K'trRAORDINARV PROCKBOINRS. The Claiberne (Mississippi) Advocato, of the 31st ult., has an account of an extraordi nary series of events, which is published under the heading, "Elopement, marriage, civil commotion and bloodshed," and of which the following is a condensation : About four or six weeks ago there eloped from Terryville, in Claiborne pariah, one Dr. Clement and one Sarah T. Wafer, an orphan heiress of ft wealthy Louisiana planter, being nt the time ut school at Terrvvillo. To Ar kansas they proceeded with llie utmost ties patch, where the nuptial ceremony was duly jicrformed. On the return of the parties, homeward, Ihey were met by the brother of the bride, James T. Wafer. Jr., who proceeded, as the elory goes, at once forcibly to dispossess the bridegroom of his seat by the side of his tear ful bride; but he was afterwards allowed to accompany her to tho residcuce of tho said Wafer, near Terryville. The bridegroom and brido remained but ft short time at the last mentioned place, and were then allowed to proceed to tho home of tho doctor, Arcadia, a village in Bienville jmiisu. In this village Dr. aud Mrs. Clem ent had lived, so far as we arc advised, in tho comfortable enjoyment of about 0110 half of their honeymoon, when the Brule was sua. denly summoned to the bedside nf a s'.ck sister, (a Mra. S.) then at the residence, of her brother, the aforesaid Wafer. The youthful bride, at the house of Uer lirothcr, signed a letter written by her brother-in-law. (Mr. S.) in which she accused the Doctor of having basely imposed uj,on and deceived her ; said that he wt toward in allowing himself to be chast'.sed ljy her bro ther ; that he was old, ugl'y, ami no physician j that she could not love Lim and never did; and that she could never consent again to live with him. Mrs. Clement stion uflcr accompanied her sisier, .irs . ana other relatives to tho home of anotl'.er ster, Mrs. 1., who also re tides oil Rod river, in the parish of Bossier. Dr. Cl"nienV followed in pursuit, accompa nied by fifteen or eighteen stalwart friends from ubont Arcadia, all armed cap a ie. Arriving nt the house of Mrs. D., they do ma'iided the person of Mrs. Clement. Amidst Bitch a warlike display Mrs. Clement could do no less than yield, which sho did on tho condition, it scorn.', that she be taken to the residence of her undo, the Rev. James T. "Wafer, one of our most estimable citizens, who resides in this vicinity ; at whose house it was agreed sho should remain unmolested for the space of two days (Friday and Satur day last,) at tho expiration of which time she should announce her decision as to whether she should live with tho Doctor in futuro or not, in which decision all parlies agreed to acquiesce. II "r brother, not being wholly satisfied that his sister would be dealt with according to the agreement entered iuto on lied river, set himself about raising a corps of men, armed in liko manner, who proceeded towards tho residenco of his uncle on Thursday even ing last, for the purpose, it is presumed, of rescuing his sister. On approachiug the house, the sudden clicking of a dozen or so of double barreled shot guns warned tho par ty nf danger, and they retired. Tho brother then came to Homer and gave Information, upon which tho Deputy Sherill, Gentry Wurren, proceeded at tho dead of night, with some twenty armed men, sum moned for the occasion, to the residence of the Rev. Mr. Wafer, to make arrest of Dr Clement and party, for the forcible abduction and imprisonment of tho fair heroine. Thu deputy and his party narrowly escaped being shot as they approached the house, and would certainly have been fired upon had not his official mission been promptly niado known. Dr. Clement and his party submitted to the arrest. Next morning (Friday) about 9 o'clock, cur puaceablo towu was thrown into violent commotion bv the sua Jen appearance, in our midst, on horseback, and with double bar reled tuns, of tho entire body of men, some sixty in number, thrown together as above slated on the night previous, and in the cen tro of tho concourse, mirabile dirtu, the hero and heroine seated side by side in a buggy ! Very soon alter the an ival, a gun of one of the armed party was accidentally dischar ged, the contents passing through tho win dow of the law office of our esteemed fellow citizen, J. M. Thomasson, who, standing at his library at tho time, received a glancing Eliot just above tho left hip. It inllicted a bad wound, but we are happy to state it will not be attended by serious results. (About the eame time, we understand, a foreigner had a part of a thumb shot oti" ; but how this occurred wo are not accurately advised.) A writ of habeas corpus, on the affidavit nf J antes T. Wafer, Jr., was also issued by tho lion. Harmon A. Drew, Judge of our District Court, which was served upon Dr. Clemont. commanding him to produce thu body of Mrs. .Sarah T. Clement, and show cause why ho deprived her Of her right oud liberties. The defendant failing or refusing to make immediate answer to the writ of habeas corpus as commanded, was ulso ar rested for contempt of court. The trial on thoso several writs came off on Saturday. His Honor discharged the defendant, Dr. Clement, in both cases. On Monday, tho parties arrested for the abduction and imprisonment of Mrs. Clem. eut, appeared for trial before Justice Milli cun. Dr. Clement was put on trial first. The sisters of our heroine had just arrived after a whole night's hard travel, from lied River, to give testimony. Mrs S., a beauti ful, dark eyed, intelligent and resolute wo man, was put upon the stand. New facts, in this straugely complicated case were re vealed by her among them that her sister Sallie had been engaged, bofore her elope ment with Dr. Clement, to her (witness's) brother-in-law, Sidney 8., that .Sallie had re ceived a letter purporting to be from Sidney, in which he upbraided her for her infidelity, fee., aud discarded her forever j cuder thu influence of this letter, which was really a forged one, Sallie hastened into an elopement with Dr. Clement, whom sho did uot lovo, and whom, on a more familiar acquaintance, the hated. Dr. Clement, however, was dis charged from arrest. Tho counsel for the prosecution, on the following morninir. de clined to prosecute the accomplices of Dr. C, whereupon all were discharged. Thus euded the first act in this drama. Tho ucxt has already opened, for whilo the exritement was going on in Homer, our neroino was spirited away to parts unknown ; but the general opinion is thut she has been transported to Arkansas, wbero sho is pro teeted or guardod by forty duublo barrolei ehot runs and a howitzer. And thither i considerable part of the multitude, recently assemuiou in ur ordinarily peaceable town have betaken themselves, "armed and equip, red as tho law" doesn't direct. Wasaisgto.v. Nov. 25.

Tho little Ida Amelia referred to in the letter is an infant of about a ear aud a half old. She is. indeed. brought to a sad or phanage. It appears that the principal actors in this trarredv have been on terms of disagreement for some time, on account of the brutal treat ment of the husband, and she had commenced a suit of divorce. Ineersnll had just returned from .Cincinnati, where he had found her brother, Charles I. Morrison, and brought him here to endeavor to etlect a reconciliation between them.

Tnc fact that the Secret League of IMatte county, Mo., has giv en Mr. Dark, the late editor of the I'arkvillo Luminary, who is on a business visit to I'ark villo, notico to leave the place immediately, or he would be lynched, has been brought to tho attention of the Legislatnre of that State by a member, Mr. Blair, who, ou the 13th in stant, offered a resolution calling upon the Governor, and, if necessary, the President of the United States, for such aid ns might bo necessary to protect Mr. Park in his person and property. This motion gave rise to a protracted and sharp debate, and finally re sulted in rejecting Mr. Blair's motion, upon the ground that when the Paikville people need the aid ot the Governor or I'resutent, they could get it by the asking. In tho meantuno great excitement prevails at 1 ark ville. It is said tho League have threatened to destroy tho town if Park does not leave. Two hundred of tho leading citizens have held a meeting, and requested Mr. Park to remain. At the same tune a committee was appointed to meet u committee of the secret body, when they came into the town, and rep resent tho wishes and determination of the citizens of Pnrkville. The St. Louis Demo crat says : Much discussion took placo on the streets, and Mai. Hichardson, Col. Summers, Col. Capt. Bui upy, and others, made speeches to the crowd in support of justice and rijiht. When the committee of the secret organiza tion arrived, they were met by Col. Burns, when much exciting discussion endued, when the committee left town. Next day another committee arrived. In the meiinlimu several men from the surrounding counties had gath ered into tho town to defend Mr. Park. Anxious to restore peace, Mr. Park made nn address to tho committee, declaring that he hud come iu a private capacity to transact business, and while ho could never concede a singlo right, ho was ready to do anj thing that was minify and honorublo to. provcut tho effu sion of blood ; but ho wns in the bauds nf his friends. Col. Burns then asked them if they were satisfied, to which they responded, "no." Col. Burns then said : "Then let the princi ple be settled in blood. We nsk tho honors of war. Set your day and we will meet yon ; but don't sneak down in the night. Come openly, and blood will flow as freely as in tho Mexican war. Ve tight lor principle, for right." Col. Summers added : "Let them come, and the streets of I'arkvillo will be hotter than hell iu fifteen minutes." Meetinrrs. both of the friends of law and order, and of the se cret lengue, contiuued to be held up to the timo when onr information terminates, and all sinus oi exciting rumors prevailed. Uur m- lormant learns tunt propositions for civil war and disunion bad been strongly urged by members of the secret league. Mr. Park, it will bo rcnembcred, gave of- icnco to those who now pursue linn by Bonio strictures on the slavery question in his paper (The Parkville Luminary) lust spring, when it was seized br a mob ani thrown into the river. lie had up to that time resided manv years in Parkville, and was in fact founder of tho town.

Hit , t CONOR BM. - Congress will assemble next Monday. A quorum will be present, no doubt, on the first day, but as the political complexion of the Honse is entirely dilTorent from any previous Congress, there may be gome difficulty id electing a speaker and organizing Tor busi ness. Neither of the three prominent parties of tho IIouso, Americans, Democrats and Whigs, have a clear majority, bnt the Ameri cans are decidedly the strongest, and will, no doubt, succeed in the election of their enndi date for speaker end clerk. Tho session promises to be a stormy one, growing out of troubles involving tho Bhivery question the Kansas nnd Nebraska elections. Our im pression is that the Kansas election matter ill bo settled or cut short by rejecting both Gov. ltecder and Mr. Whitfield, and rcfering the matter back to the people. These are the views of such men as Gen. Cass on this ubject, and will be likely to prevail. There may have been some irregularity in the eleo. tion of Gov. Reeder, but there can bo no question that a large majority of tho people of Kansas are favorable to the election or the Governor and opposed to the introduction of slavery into the territory. The President's message will not be sent in advauce as here tofore, and if there should be any delay in organizing Congress, there is no saying when it will be delivered.

Already a counterfeit $j bill has made its appcarancu in Philadelphia on the Consoli dation Bank, one of the now Banks which has just commenced business i Another Coi'ntkkfkit. A counterfeit 85 bill ou the uew Consolidation Bank of Phila delphia, has just made its uppearnnco. It is pnolograpli oi llie geiiuiue bills of the Bauk, aud of course is a very fair likeness, but the fraud is one not calculated to stand the slightest scrutiny. On the genuine bills there are two red V s in thu body of the bill. which in the photograph are black, and the signatures of tho officers resemble lilliogra pine ink, instead oi inn nrigni black ol wri ting fluid. It might carelessly be takcu ns genuine, bnt a little care will detect its true character. There are new counterfeit $5's on three of the Philadelphia Bunks, now in circulation, namely: Mechanics' Bauk, Com mercial Bank, and Consolidation Bank.
