LETTER FiEKER NEW YORK.
Curresponrience. of the Porter Journal
The Protestfint world is exhibiting a
gobd deal of ceinimetien just now. on ac
'count of the offieial exeinsion of the 131-
'ble from the soli - hors - e.f the 4th Ward of
this city. The Board of Education had
the subject up the other e'veriing, spent
la four hour session of talk oyer•it and re
solved to "cordially reconinici - id That the
Bible, 'without note or comment, he' read
VS.t'ilie daily opening of our public school's."
Whether the 4th Ward folks will ocordi
ally" conform to the recowniendatiou re-
I mains to be seen. The point' at iSsiwin
Ith,?. discussion was, 'Whether the Board
should' require it or only recommend it,
We have no law absolutely And in' terms
retiuiring the Bible to be read in the
selunES, - ti - co4gli' We have a city law de
claring that die Board of Education shall
'not have power to prevent it. From this
declaration quite h• number of members
inferred,.and tried to argue, that the
Board had 'power . to require it.i and, liar.
ink 'tla power; the: regulation ought to be
enforced. One yotipLi - i.uen,wer, "Mr.
Cushing, was particularly chursdi mili
tant. He maintained that the Board had
the power and ought to exercise it to the
utmost—if there were schools any where
who would'nt have the Bible, why make
'em. It was a fine occasion for the dis
play of a great deal of piety and patriot
ism, ;rid the impenitent members especi
ally,'eAdd ;the opportunity to give their
devotion - to the' Bible an ostentatious
.
airing.
On the same evening the same subject
formed the text of au indigintion dis
course iu Dr. Cheever's church. The
American party, too, are greatly stirred
up on the subject. They charge that
Bishop hushes is at the bottom of it, and
are takiltg measures to get the 4th Ward
ers away from his deletti4eus influence.
Notwithstanding the antipathy, how
ever, between the Catholic and .Protes
taut Bishop Hughes and several
well known Protestant Doctors of Divin
ity sat clown together over a magnificent
banquet in Bro - Jklynlast Friday evening,
at the inauguration exercises of the 'Long
Island College Hospital. The chain
pagne, toast and after-dinner chat were
as sparkling and as friendly as if the
IRomish Bull and •Protestant Lamb were
icallV al:iout to lie down forever together.
'Another church scandal; and cense
quent 'quarrel, Is assuming large dinfen
sions- here, and threatens to occupy the
public mind for some Ono to come.
Judge Culver of Brooklyn, a man of al
most national reputation as a lawyer, tem
perance orator and anti-slavery politician
has just been expelled from the First Bap
tist Church, of Williamsburg (Eastern
District of Brooklyn) on a charge of im
proper intimacy with a yer ,p y attractive
but unregenerate widow of II illizinnbtirg.
The trial a very one-sided affair—no
cross-examination of witnesses or confront
ing Of the defendant with his accusers
teas ;111074 and on the vote of the Church
being - taken only 97 out of 160 members
present' dared to vote on the question.—
Of thep, 6,0 were against him, and so by
this minority of the whole church he vas
turned adrift into the beggarly Oen - 1051s
of the world to ehift foi - gespel guidance,
as best he can. The Juhge, of eqrse,
appealed from the decision, and gave no
tice that he should call - a church council
to overhaul the proceedings so this will'
not be the last of it. He is a hard man
te fight, and people who attack him must
look well i to their 4efenees if they expect
to conquer, He had a. long struggle two'
or threl3)-eats ago with "the" authorities of
Brooklyn, about his judicial' salary and'
the legality of his election ; but he beat' s
them, and came out several lengths ahead.
The swill milk committee on white
washing are still industriously at work.
They hold two sessions a week, and are
really•ko hard pressed by public opinion
that.' possibly they may fail to discover
any feasibVplin r ig ht* - noVto 'do it" and
may be compelled at least to make the
milk-men fairly indicate In n that sort
of milk they deal in, so those din whet
prefer the grass-fed can have it, and those
fastidious and over nice people who life
peculiarly'iiph and delicate article, and
must have it regardless of expense, can
choose the city manufactured kind. It
is got up to order right under their eyes
and poses and then know of course it, is
good, 'Besides' one Dr. Sliaiika'whO seams
to stand, on a footing of intimate acquaint
twee •4ith the stomp-trii%' assures the.
commtftee that swill-milk iss good and

I had spell a jolly, good time among
the farmers :Choother ,week l , I could not
help paying them another visit at their
club meeting the week, and found the
occasion quite as'interesting!as before.—
I should think e7ery farmer from the
country
.on.a Visit - -to this metropolis would
be highly pleased and profited to look in
on these gentlemen and see how wise city
farmers can act and talk. The first topic
discussed was the preservation 'of birds.
It was maintained that birds destrov
countless millions of worms which would
otlorwise
.d,estroy the crops. They also
eat! thi,:se.pd. of c„,ther oT noxious
s and th . ps do a work of great value I
in 'keeping b:telt parasites of that kind.
Even crows, it y;tis held, did as inuch.good
as harm. A little care would preveutl
their doing the harm and then the good'
only would reinain. Nizlit . birds of all
kinds, like bats, owls tai hawks, ought
to be preserved, 'q'they tlestio:i immense
l'ulub.('!rs• 'a rats and mice. If the birds .
help themsolvcs also to a little of our.
gran', fruit and corn, why, they cart} it,
and we can .rd to pay them this tri,.-.
ute for their services in ridding us: of real
pests. Solon Robinson gave utter-am:2_
Ito the despair he once felt on seeing his
crops . D tke Western pi curie :thou: tddig

wdilia, which litcrallv uverrtin his fields
and covered the eafili;• - but in the nuke
of thii . iiiiader came myriads of black 1
birds,- so thet thelleavens were filled with
them, and the army worm was routed bag
and baggage and the crops were preserv
ed. He had been constitutionally a bird
hater and bird-shooter—his father; had
taught it before him ; bat that atmßill:l
-tiou of a destrying insect, when no-help
seemed possible, taught hint a ldsson, and
ever after he said : "God bless the birds."
Then the debate took another turn on
the subject of destructive animals, and!
Mr. Lawton brought the whole weight of
the club down on the dogs. Ile denounc
ed the whole canine creation as an utter-.
ly useless, disgusting, parasitic race.—
Every use they rdtnitl be put to could be
accomplished, in far cheaper and pleasant
er ways, and then, for destruetiveness,
they were unparallelled by any pest on
earth. Not half the number of sheep are
raised throughout the country that would
be,
but for the dog s , so that their univer
sal prevalence at large very perceptibly
affects the price of mutton; and then the
destructie.dofliuman life alone by hydro
phobia is enough to consign the race to
indiscriminate destruction. Again, he
defied the club to Milne one single use
the animal could be to man tharwas not
overbalanced by greater detriment. O ne :
member triumphantly suggested, "sau

of dogs, but he recovered preSently,*and
conel4ded by hoping that either sausages
or mince -meat, .a p tr he cared very little
which, might - be the speedy destiny of
every dog now having his day. The 'club
very generally concurred in his opinion.
Then came up the subject of ragpberry
and strawberry culture, ou which many
interesting things were said, but neither

10,.wilr;Nca, T . S. T., Friday, .futic 4. 1858.
A west unfortunate affray, resulting in
the'shnoting and instant killing of Colo
nel Gaiis jeli - kins ly General' James 11.
Lane, occurred yesterday afternoon neat
this city. The affair irew out of !an old
feud in relation to a contested land claim.
I have taken special to ascertain
the particulars q h f the affair, and find them
to be as follows,:
Gen. Lane and Col. Jenkins occupied
hoses twenty or thirty rods apart, on the
saine claim for which they were contest
ants. situated about a quarter of a mile
from Lawrence. Within the yard encloi
urti ef Lane is a well 'to which the family
of C01..-Jenkins have been in the of
o•oino• for water. • Owin. , to the bitterness
of feelteg growing out, of their contest for
the claim, - ihich . is now- peiading before
the Land Office at Lecompton, Geo. Lane
forbade Jenkins tile use of the well. The
latter still came occasionally for water.
Finally Lane Imikelthe ivelf, thus com
pelling the family of Jenkins to resort to
another for water. Col. Jenkins alleged
that water of %he latter ise of an
tsrlor qualify, and expressed his 4etermin.
tativ resort atcttin to she well ,Or Laoe;
and' ,sent word to the General to th?_t ef-.
'feet i The lattsr refueled answer= tbat if
he undertook I:9 . — obtaip -it by force,* he
mulct 'do it at therisk of - his life.. --
-'l`l' asmattersA9 7 oad:yotor„day afternoan i
bearing_ Jenkins anaxead Bharpes.
Alio; and. aceomplinied 14 two men and a.
boy, %'was observed to approach Lanth..
Veg.). :he rear of the house. The ate
had Veen previously nailed fast to prevent
entrance:from the direction of Jenkin's
house: - .Arriving there Jenkins laid aside
his rifle, and with his age speedily batter
ed away. theSeaeni4,3 of the gate. Leav
ing his rifle - behind, tsough still bearing'
his ageond accompai;io .- by the two men,
Jenkins approached the well which is lo
cated w..thin a few yards of Lane's house.
At th isjuncture, General Lane stepped 1
froni his door, armed with a single bar- I
relied gun,
.and bade them approach no
further, as lig would shoot if they did.
At this Jenkin''S companions each drew a
revolver, and Jenkins raised his age and
still advanced. again ,bade them
stop, sta,ting.that he did mot wish to - kill,
either of Pent, but would assuredly shoot
if they approached nearer. They sell ad,
vanced with pistols' and axe .beariug up. l
on the General, wham bane fired, shoa
, ing .Jenkins in the brpast, causing hint
to fall forward On his face, and killing him
instantly. Jerkin's companions then
both fired at Lane; the ball of one grazing
his hair, and that of the other entering!
his left limb, just
,above the knee. There
are rumors of a third and fourth shet from
them at Lane, but those xxithin hearing,
generally agree in stating that the;:e were
but three reports in all.
Lane was assisted to his house, where!
he ;was placed on a couch, and a physician
sent for to dress the wound. Tile
• body
of Mr. Jenkins, by the assistance of hisl
compar„isiis,. and that his own. wifc,
was - conveyed to his -house. As the in-1
telligence' of the bloody affair spread, the
most intense excitement iminediately en-I
:sued. A crowd straightway gathered on
the spot. A hundred rumori , were rife,
most, of them unfavorable to Lane. iNlut
terings of vengeance were lic4r.d. Lane
was , dronounced an assassin, and dozens
asserted that he deserved it murderer's
fate. A proposition to hang him on the
spot was made. h 'would possibly, in the
heat-of the excitement have been carried ,
info effect, but on turning to the person!
makin , ,,.: the proposal it was found to be
no other than ex--Sheriff Jones of " Bor
der-Ruffian". and Lawrence sacking noto
riety ! The source of the proposition,
more: than ought else, eintsed into be re
ceived with di : gavor. Junes was told that
if any hanguag was wane, he would be the
first to swing. The ex-Sheriff, deeming,
a hint a:l3 good as a kick, and fearing the
excitnierit would demand some vietim, l
ere it was appeased. prudently left town
within mi hour for Lecompton.
More moderate con use's respec..tiv,, Lane
finally prevailed, Sheriff Sam: Wa' diet.
took the General into custody, leaving a
posse ip, attendance upon him iz.t his own
Jenkin!s two companion's were al
so arrested. A cerorner's inquest will lie
held on the body of-Jenkins this morning,
The excitement of yesterday na.s become
considerably allayed.' The statement of
Lane and Jenkins's two friends, as con
cerns the affray, are substantially the same.
The above mentioned facts are corroborat
ed. One of the latter asserts that he.at
tempted to fire a second time at Lane,
but, the cap of his pistol exploded without
di charging the barrel. Tlis • accounts
for the rumor of a fourth shot. It is pos
sible, but not probable, that the inquest
will throw new &I; the case.
Col. 4enkins was formerly a hotel keep
er in Icausas City, and subsequently a
merchant in Lawrence. While acting iu
the former capacity-, he furnished the free-,
state men with powder to aid in the cam
patg.'n against the " border ruffians." He
was one of the " trqson Prisoners" of
185 G, and ;hough not a pollitician,. was
widely known. He was at the time of
his death about forty-five years of age.
He leaves a wife and four ctildren, -Who
mourn their loss in agonizing- tones.

LAWRENCE, June 4, 1858.
The Board of Commissioners,under the
English "Leemupton bill held a second ses
sion day before yesterday, and agreed up
on . an 'arrangement which it is thought
will effectually prevent fraud and forgery
in connection With the election returns of
the 2d of A ijist, the day fixed upon for
voting on the Bnglish proposition. It
proVides that there shall be triplicate
turns made out, one of which shall b,e for
warded by the probate judgn of the coun
ty to Gov. Denver; a second to the Hod.',
C. W. Babcock, President of the Territo
rial Council.; and the third retained by the
judges of the election—one of whom, in
each precinct, will be a pro-slavery man
or national democrat; and the other two

• DadmvEn-!--,Two little children, a son
and daughter of Mi. IVES, residing in the
neighborhood ofl3enn'ett's Mills, Middle
bury, were drowned on Saturday, 29th
ult., at about noon. It appears fl•om the
best information we can gather, that the
little ones attempted to cross ' a small
stream' much swollen by the rains, and as
it is conjectured, becoming terrified tell
in. The crossing was by a single plank.
The bodies were recovered by their sor
rowingr parents about 30 minutes after
the children were missed from the house.
They were buried on Monday.—. Agitator.

influence he possesses to make others do
so, What jias Jackman done to merit
the confidence of his political opponents ?
We have seen nothing. He was elected
to the Legislature to carry through a cer
tain project—one that made him a richer
man—and that measure could not be carri
ed without Republican votes. It was nec
essary, therefore, for ,him to pursue a

confidence of the Republicans in the Leg
islature. This accomplished he does not
care a snap for Leconiptonism. •As for
Jackman's being the opposition candidate
