A mass meeting at Water town, whefe he resides, held without distinction of party, unanimously requested him to resign. Ho refused. The Common Council of that city, a majority being his political friends, made a similar request by a vote of 7 to 5. But Mr. C. would not comply. Liquor Row at Selma, Ind.?A row occurred at Selma, Ind., a few evenings since. The la dies undertook to demolish a liquor shop owned by a man named Kirkpatrick, and he resisted, nc locked tho door and they hewed it down, and when they endeavored to enter it, ho punch ed them with a stick, and Mrs. Ribble was con siderably hurt.

Montgomery'* Marauder* not Fret State Jfen, htit Simply Freebooters?Murder and Ineen diaritm?An Innocent Party of Free State Men net upon and Slaughtered?Mi**ouri In vaded?Appeal to the Governor of MittourL XCorrcspondence of the Mluouri Democrat.] Plaster's Hotpl, Lkavesivoktii Cm,) May 24th, 18C8. f Montgomery's mounted corps at Sugar Creek are undoubtedly a small band of highwaymen ?and we hope that no respectable New York or St. Louis journal will undertake to apolo gize for their petty rascalities. But their at tempt to fasten their acts upon the Free State men of the Territory in simply absurd. They are a few congregated bad men who levy black mail indiscriminately. Let me mention one or two of their late exploits: A Kentuckian of the name of Quidnuck (the name may not be spell ed correctly), a stranger in the Territory, was traveling in the neighborhood of Sugar Creek, when he was set upon by a band of these ma rauders. He was in search of a claim to settle upon with his family, having previously sold his property in Kentucky. With one pistol to to his breast and one to his side, they interroga ted hiin as to his business. Pretending to be dissatisfied as to his answers, they ordered him to open a small valise which he carried in his hand. He was not sufficiently prompt, it seems, so they snatched it from him and opened it themselves. It contained his clothing and $300 in gold coin, the latter in a pocket book. They took both the money and clothes, and as they rode off told him to leave the Territory. In the act of dismounting one of them had inadver tently dropped two newspapers?they had fall en out of his pocket?which Quidnuck picked up when they had gone out of sight. The name Dyer?a name conspicuous in Montgome ry's band?was written on both papers. Thiq is the substance of a statement in detail made under oath by Quidnuck, before the Grard Jury recently convened at Fort Scott, and upon which an indictment for robbery against Dyer u as found immediately. My informant, who is a gentleman of position (in politics a Free State Democrat), assured me that the Republicans were represented on the Grand Jury, of which he also was a member, and present when Quid nuck gave liis statement. But the calendar of thu crimes contain worse acts than this. In the case of Quidnuck, they robbed a poor man and a stranger. Fortunate ly they did not search his person. He had about a hundred dollars in his pocket, with which ho has since purchased a claim. They merely rob bed the poor man, but in a more recent case they exhibited the most brutal conduct. While plundering the house of a Freo State man, they encountered some slight resistance from his wife?slight indeed it must have been?who it seems is a woman of spirit The brutal set re venged themselves, by compelling her, under pain of instant death, to strip naked and pace up and down for a stated time, between their ranks. Did woman ever yet endure such deg radation in a Christian land ? The most lustful tribe of Indians, whose prisoners run the gaunt let of the double file, would scorn such hideous and unmanly cruelty towards a woman. The precedent was furnished by the Sepoys of Delhi and Cavvnpore but they are fanatical idoletars, who adore Vishnu the libidinous and destroying god. The party that was attacked and murder ed by Capt. Hamilton and his men?live killed and fivo wounded?was not of Montgomery's men. The massacre was wanton. The Lawrence Republican extra, of May 23, gives the following curiously truthful account or the wholesale murder: Moneka, Linn co., K. T., May 20, 1858. Yesterday a parly of pro-Slavery men, from Missouri, came into the "Trading Post," situ ated on the military road leading from Fort Scott to Fort Leavenworth, where it crosses tho Osage river, about three miles from the Slate line. They were not seen until they emerged from thu timber and rode up to the store. Here they took Mr. G. W. Andrews and John F. Campbell prisoners. They then started on tho road towards Kansas City. They overtook here, a Mr. Stillwell, from Sugar Mound, who was going up to the river for a load of provis ions. They took him prisoner, and ordered the others to get into his wagon and ride. In a half mile further they came to a missionary, by the name of Rev. Charles Rend. They ordered him into the wagon, and dismissed Andrews.? They continued ou for two miles and a half, when they had taken twelve men. These men had been taken when at their work, without resistance, and unarmed, and had never been implicated in the troubles in Kansas. They wero conservative men. On arriving at a deep ravine, in a skirt of timber, tho commander called a halt. The pris oners were formed in a line, about five yards in advance of the horsemen. The command was given to "Present Arms! Fire!" Every man dropped. Four were killed dead! all but one of the others were badly wounded. The Ruffians then wheeled their horses and galloped off. In a few iniiutes three of them returned and searched theii i ictims for money. They kicked tho men and ? .?lied them oyer very roughly to see if they w. .e dead.? Finding one only slightly wounded, a Ruffian put a revolver to his ear and tired, remarking that he had always found that the in.ist certain shot he could make. He took the key of the safe out of Campbell's pocket, saying, "there was money in that safe, ami ho would come back some night ad get it" The names of the killed are: William Stillwell, of Sugar Mound, recently from Iowa. He is a young man, with a young and beautiful wife, and two young children.? He felt perfectly safe, remarking to a companion that "he was a Freo Mason and it is said that a Fr^e Mason, Dr. Hamilton, of Fort Scott, shot him. He was killed with a double bar reled shot gun, loaded with pistol balls, the charge entering his left breast. He was highly esteemed in his neighborhood, and his death will be avenged. Patrick Ross was an Irishman, and had been driven from his claim on the Little Osage by the same gang. ' Mr. Colpetsser was a farmer, from Pennsyl vania. Michael Robinson, the same, from Iowa. John F. Campbell, a store keeper from Penn sylvania. He was a young man highly esteem ed, and had no family. The wounded are William Hargrove and bis brother, Asa Hargrove, formerly of Georgia, who came here to live in a free State. This is the head and front of their offending. Also Rev. Charles Read, a Baptist preacher from Wis consin, who moved into that place a week ago. He was badly wounded and crept into the woods and was not found till morning. Ainos Hall and his brother, Austin Hall, who was not hurt, but fell from prudential reasons. Charles Snvder was slightly hurt in the leg and back. Tho ruffian band was lead by Brockett, of Fort Scott, and accompanied by Dr. Hamilton and others of that place, who have made them selves notorious for two years past. There were twenty-ffvo in all, and they were well acquaint ed with the men whom they killed, excepting Stillwell. Eight of them lived in Kansas, and seventeen in Missouri. Most of these seventeen lived in rnd around WestporL This place wos the Border-Ruffian head quarters in 1850, hav ing a blue lodge, and being the rendezvous of the Southern army ot invasion under Gen. Clark, ? and the secret chamber of the "Council of Ten," ?; who decided the fate of prisoners and of settlers ; during that gloomy year. The Border Ruffian papers insist upon styl ing this affair an engagement with Montgom ' ery's robbers. It was 110 such thing, but inere ! ly the cold blooded, terrible affair recorded i above. RETALIATION. i A correspondent of the Missouri Kepubli | can, writing from Jeflerson City, May 26th, says : Editor of Republican:?Yesterday a special messenger arrived in this city, bearing a state ment signed by many of tho most reliable citi zens of Cass and Dates counties, in this State, which represented that the Kansas banditti, commanded by Montgomery, whose exploits in the neighborhood of Fort Scott you have alrea dy given to the world, had invaded the State of Missouri, robbed some of our citizens, and were making preparations lor the commission of more outrages on our citi/.ens, on a more extensive scale; and they petition the Governor to take such steps as may be necessary for their pro tection. ******** On the day subsequent [to the massacre on the Osage] Montgomery's party, supposed to number between two hundred and two hundred and fifty men, most of them mounted on horses stolen from the citizens of our State, and armed with Sharpe's rifles, Colt's revolvers and sabres, and having with thein several cannon, crossed the line into Missouri, and proceeded to West point, in Bates county, eight or twelve miles from the line between Kansas and this State.? In the language of the statement, they menaced, insulted and outraged the citizens of that place, who were in a defenceless condition, in a most shocking and brutal manner." Having thus spent several hours in Westpoint, they set out on their return to the Territory. On their way back, they met a citizen of Bates on the high way, stopped him and robbed him; then pro ceeded to his house, broke open the doors, and seized and carried away everything portable thuy found of any value. At the time the statement was written, last Saturday, they were encamped three miles from the State line in Kansas, recruiting, preparatory us they avowed, to another invasion of our State. Another correspondent of the Republican, writing from Leavenworth City, on the 24th of May, says that a Free State Committee of Safe ty, in Bourbon county, K. T., passed A series of resolutions ordering certain parties to leave the Territory within six and ten days, under penalty of early slaughter. These parties were Judge Williams, Dr. Blake Little, S. C. Sims W. T. Campbell, members elect of the Legislature under Lecompton; II. T. Wilson, G. P. Hamilton and D. F. Greenwood, members of tho Lecompton Constitutional Convention; E. Ilansom and G. W. Clark, J. H. Little, James Jone . B. McDonald, A. Campbell, Mr. Brockett, Mr. Harlan, and such others as aided the mili tary in enforcing obedience to the laws. Kuna day Williams and D. Sullivan, accused by three notable spirits with having stolen horses be longing to Free State men, are sentenced (Lynch fashion,) to be whipped, branded and driven out Capt. Anderson, who was wounded, as I have some time since informed you, while discharging his duty, is decreed to be hung to the highest tree in Bourbon county. P. S.?I have just been informed by a gentle man who comes direct from the scene of action, that Montgomery and his patriotic followers burned thn town of Butler to the ground. Not one house has been left standing, but where was the nucleus of a town likelf to flourish in the > future, is left only a few blackened ruins. This [ occurred Friday night. ICorrrsipomlenci* of the Wheeling Intelligencer.] Bktiiant Coli.eue, Va., May 31st., 1858. Messrs Editoks:?After n long and painful (no doubt to you) absence, I once more presume to. address you. Like Mr. Micawber, I have been waiting for a long tiino for something to turn up, but the longer 1 wait, the less there seems to be worthy of being chronicled. Rain, rain, rain ! pattering, splashing, soak ing rain, has been our constant, never failing daily visitor for the last month, and now it is only necessary for you to set your truly lively imagination to work in order to give you a fair conception of the sad condition of this lovely spot at this season of the year. Now, when you have this picture of desolation before you, ?mud three feet in the channel and still rising? could you not, in a spirit of philanthropy, in duce Bomo company with a ferry bout, to take a voyage, by way of the Wellsburg and Bethany turnpike, to the latter place and ply as a regu lar packet between the different crossings in our principal streets, say for the next three weeks, ft was hoped that the new Town Council would take this matter into consideration and charter a craft for this especial trade, which would have been highly remunerative, but it seems, by re cent developments, that there are three dollars and sixty-two and a half cents yet due on the Massachusetts marble paving stones, and the cost of laying said marble, which, as the pedes trian will readily perceive, arc so beautifully dovetailed together and reflect great credit on the contractor, and as a heavy tax hod to be laid on the citizens to meet the maturing bonds for said contract, further improvements for the present were considered out of the question. Speaking of improvements, it would not be amiss, just here, to mention that an enterprising firm have just opened a Wholesale and lie tail Grocery, Forwarding and Commission Ware House on Richardson street, a few doors below Main. If a general knowledge of the business, accommodating dispositions, and a plentiful supply of the necessaries of life, are to be re garded as recommendations, the firm have a bright future and an overflowine "till" before tbem. You will remember, that in a former commu nication, I remarked the probability of the speedy erection of a musical garden on Main' street; but it seems that our pleas ure loving citizens are to be denied the en joyment of the dulcet strains w hich would have been nightly wafted on the gentle zephyrs in undulating cadence. The cause is to bo wholly attributed to the too tight lacing of the trachea, of the principal tenor, which brought on a grcvious brouchial affection, and in the opinion of the most eminent physicians, his prospects for future usefulness in his peculiar profession, are being much clouded. His friends are greatly alarmed, and are prepared for the worst. The election for county officers came off on last Thursday. Politics were not made an issue; on the contrary, which is a very unusual occur rence in Virginia, I believe, men were voted for, and in this instance triumphed over all party prtjudices. Some of the defeated aspirants are loud in their denunciation of the "rascality" which prevailed during the election. These can didates, whilst seated around their cheerful fire sides the night after the election, no doubt, ex claimed with the poet: "Well, there ia Another fool conrinoed.'* The laying of the corner stone of the build ing for the uso of the Societies and Libraries, which was to have taken place on last Saturday, was postponed, on account of the inclemency of the weather, until to-day. Of the proceedings I will advise you in my next Cualtbk. The United States steamer Michigan is on its way to Erie, Pa., to receive Moh&med Pacha, who is traveling in the West. The national debt of Spain amounts to JE140 900,000 sterling. Tub Bmnsn Oltiiages.?Report of the Com mittee of Foreign Relation*.?Mr. Mason, chair man of the Committee of Foreign Relations, has made n report in relation to the late unlawful boarding, by Hrittish cruisers, of American vessels. Alter rehearsing the outrages com plained of, the committee go on to say? It has occasionally happened heretofore, under circumstances of misapprehension, or miscon struction of orders, or from other and like causes, that vessels of the United States have been subjected by the armed force of a foreign power to visitation and search, in violation of international lair, and in derogation of the in dependence of our flag, and in such isolated cases the honor of the country may have been sufficiently vindicated by a disclaimer of intend ed wrong or by rebuke of the officer offending. But the continuous and persevering character of the aggressions now brought to the notice of the country, committed by a power with whom we are at peace, and almost within sight of our shores, is sufficient to arouse the just indigna tion of the country, and calls, in tne opinion of the committee, for the most prompt and efficient measures, to arrest at once, and to end finally and forever, the commission uf like indignities to our ling. Tho documents accompanying the message disclose the fuct that these acts of visitation and examination of American vessels were sought to be justified under tho plea of necessity for the suppression of the slave trade, supposed to be or actually carried out, between Africa and the island of Cuba. The committee will not go into any inquiries in reference to such alleged necessity. It in sufficient for them to know that the assent *f the United States, although often invoked, has never been yielded to any such system of police on the seas. They rest on the position not to bo controverted, that by no principle of inter national law can a vessel under the llag of its country be visiteted or detained on the high seas in timo of peace by any foreign power on any pretext, or for any purpose whatever, without the consent of those over whom the ting waves. Without going at large into the questions heretofore involved as to the right of indepen dent nations on that common highway of the world?tho open sea?the committee deem this, nevertheless, a fit occasion to declare the princi ples maintained by the United States as regulat ing tliu use of the open or high seas in time of peace, and from which arc derived rights to the people of the United States admitting no re straint or qualification, and to be maintained at whatever cost There is no right of visitation, far less or search, to he exercised in time of peace by any nntion on the ships or vessels of other nations, nor can there be, so long as the laws or the civili zed world touching the freedom of the sea .-.re respected by civilized men. Such claim, there fore!, having no'foundation in law or in the com ity of nations, can never bo tolerated by an in dependent'power but in derogation of her sove reignty. Neither is there any distinction to be drawn in the claim of right between visitation at sea by the armed vessels of a foreign power when unattended by examination and search, and such visitation when so atrended. The offence and violation of public law con sists in the visitation, without regard to its pur pose, when claimed as a ri'jht, against the will of the party subjected to it. Were it otherwise there would follow, of course, the correlative right to arrest and detain the vessel until the visitation is effected. The committee find these principles admitted and enforced by the opinions and the decisions of the most eminent judicial authorities, both in this country and in Great Britain. They nre founded in two simple elemental principles of public law : First, in the equality of all independent States; and, second, the com mon use by all recognized States of the open sea as a highway in a time of peace. Such are the rights and immunities of our cit izens navigating the ocean, which have been flagrantly violated nnd outraged by armed ves sels of a foreign power in time of profound peace, and in some instances almost within sigh' of our own shores. Indignant as the American people are, and ought to be, at the character and persistent re petition of such aggressions, yet their occur rence and gravity will opportunely supply the occasion, and to end, now and forever, all future question as to this right of visitation at sea be tween the United States and the offending Pow er. And the committee refrain only from re commending at oncc such additional legislation as would be inost effectual to protect the com merce of the country from aggressions of the character thus brought to the notice of the Sen ate, from the fact that the President (as shown by the letter of the Secretary of the Navy ac companying the message) has already ordered all the disposable naval force of the country in to the infested quarter, with orders "to protect all vessels of the United States on the high seas from search or detention by the vessels-of-war of any other nation." These are preventive measures only, and temporary in their character, but, in the judgment of the committee, go to the full extent of the power of the Executive in the absence oi legislative provision. It is be lieved, however, they will arrest for the present further like offences in the quarter whence they have proceeded. It appears further from these documents that the nl tared state of the relations between the i United States and Great Britain, which must ) arise from this aggressive cohduct of Iter armed vessels, has atready been brought to the notice of that power, by communications from the j Secrotary of State, addressed both to the British Minister here and to the Minister of the United States at London. It cannot be known until the result of these communications is laid before Congeess how far tho acts in question will be avowed Or disclaim ed by the government held responsible. It is the earnest hope of the committee that the course that government may adopt will be of a character to satisfy the just demands of this government, and, at the same time, to furnash a guarrantee against the repetition of the offence. Nothing short of this, in the opinion o?the committee, wltl be compatible with peaceful re lations between the two countries. In the present posture of the affair, therefore, the committee forbear from recommending any idditional legislation to enable the President to protect American vessels on the high seas from the aggressions of foreign powers. But they will not forbear the declaration, that such legis lation must be promptly supplied should the re- ' suit show that it is needed to afford instant and i full immunity to vessels engaged in lawful com merce on the high seas from all arrest, moles tation or detention, made under any pretext or from any quarter.
