The editor was taken off of him, after which he went mid armed hits self, and met Mitchell on the street, and brand. ed hits as a "rdlian, a scoundrel, a highway assassin and a murderer at heart, and an in famous coward."

The whole district is an Indian reser vation, nut open to white settlers. The re• turn has therefore been rejected by the Gover nor. Judge Cato, of one of the U. S. Courts, has issued a writ against the Governor, order• ing him to give the certificates of election in the Johnson and Douglas district to the Pro slavery candidates. The Governor refused to comply. The intruders on the Delftware tndi an lands, of whom the government at Wash ington received official notice, nod whose re moval it ordered, were the Missouri voters, who, having completed the election farce, lime gone hack to Missouri. So the agent has no removals to make. The Constitutional Convention met at Le. compton on Monday the 18th, but there was no quorum presect on that or the succeeding day, anti as the telegraph has since brought us no advices of their doings, except the fart that they were to meet on the 30th, it is presumable that they adjourned until that date, in rouse. gheeo of the inability to procure a quorum.

Passengers in the cars from Chambersburg last night reported the particulars of a terrible shouting affray, which occurred at that place just previous to the train leaving for our city, is which the participants are relatives, nod teen of high position in society, The portico in the case, are a Mr. Craig, who is a resident of Pittsburg, and his two brothers-in.law, :Messrs. IWKibbehs, one a representative elect to Congress from California, and the other the Superintendent of the Merchants' Hotel at Philadelphia. It appears that Mr. Craig hail returned on Monday from Pittsburg to his wife nt Chambersburg with one of his children, who bad accompanied Idin to the former place with the corpse of its young sister, accidentally shot few days previous. While seated in the care • yesterday afternoon, in company with ten or fifteen other passengers, on his return to Pitts. burg, via our city, Mr. Craig was suddenly ! attacked by his two brothers in-law with re• solvers, one at the door 1111 d the other at a it indow of the car, with which they ct mmenced ficheg nt him in rapid succession, one of the 1 balls whirl effect in his back, and passing completely tr rough his body. Notwithstanding which, Mr. Craig immediately sprang to his feet, and, producing a revolver himself, pursued his antagonist at the door, mid shot him in the arm and leg. which caused him to retire itnme tliately in company with his brother, who had by this time exhausted the charges in his pis Mr. Craig immediately received medical at. tention, but as his wound was not pronounced dangerm.s, he resumed his sent in the cars and proceeded on his journey ns far as Shippei, burg, where, however, a re-action hal place, and he was compelled to leave the train for further medical attention. The wounds received by McKibben were al. so pronounced not dangerous, Altogether some eighteen shot were fired in the car, and the only wonder is that none or the other pas. sengers were not killed or wounded. It is stated that Congressman WEibbea had also in his hand a large bowie-knife when he commenced the attack. Thu affair is said to have grown out of an alleged wrorg inflicted by Craig upon a deal and dumb sister of the Mliibbens some two years ago, about which there have been sever. at disputes between the parties, resulting in a prosecution, hut the case has never been tried, Mr. Craig being under bail for $20,000 to saver. At last accounts the WKibbens were not nr rested, although it is said that Judge Watts, of Carlisle, had taken the preliminary steps to do so on his own responsibility. Mr. Craig is a gentlemen of wealth and high etandieg in the community of which he is a member, and the attack made upon hits is universally regarded by the citizens of Chan, bersburg as being cowardly end outrageous. P. S.—Since writing the above we have re &INA tor, 4 7ry nfeyaveg.ott-ii, of cars from Chambersburg to day. They state that Craig received two balls unload of one, cold that hut one has been extracted, the other eluding the search of the physicians.— 'lle is still remaining at Shippensburg, though his case is not considered dangerous. The surnames of the brothers Maibbens are Joseph and Robert, the fermer being the Congressman elect front California, and the .individual who shut at Mr. Craig from the door of the cur. It is since discovered that he re• ceived only a slight wound in dm arm front the pistol of Mr. Craig. This brother escaped unwounded.

The Victory of the American Mare "Prioress." Our exchanges give a detailed account of the victory of the American Mare "Prioress" in England against a field of thirty-four horses many of which have the reputation of being among the best horses ever Great Britain pro. duced. The race in`which the American mare acquitted herself so handsomely, was establish. ed in 1845, the year when the late Emperor Nicholas 1. visited England. Bo gave an an nual donation $2,500, in the form of a work of art, to be run for yearly, at Ascot; and the race fur title prize, until the breaking out of the Russian war, was alwaye regarded as one of the most important at "Royal Ascot." The Cesarewitch and the Grand Duke Michael Stakes were instituted at Newmarket, in honor of the visits of the two royal scions of Russia to the cocoa held at that metropolis of the En glish turf. The Make is reported to have been worth from $lO,OOO to $14,000, and it is raid Mr. 'a en Brooch has won its bets nearly a quat , ter of a million of dollars. "Prioress," since the event, occupies the proud position of first favorite for Cambridgeshire stakes, a prize worth about $lO.OOO, In his match with Bab. ylon against Mr. Jackson's Saunterer, he paid forfeit to the owner of the latter. The Failure of the Potato Crop in Eng. 1.., A The London Star, of October 6, says that the anticipations which had, ut that time, pre. veiled of a plentiful crop of potatoes in that country, had been sutPenly dispelled. With. in the past few weeks the rot had manifested itself in the most extraordinary manner.— Hundreds of acres will not pay fur the dig. ging, and although looking very well when first taken out of the ground, in less than twenty-fom hours the potatoes are unfit for use, Unfortunately this sudden manifestation of disease is not confined to any particular dia. trict, but it seems general. Thin is very sad intelligence for the poor, as it. practically put this valnable esculent beyond thou! reach. Important Bank Note List.
