WEDNESDAY MORNING, AEG 19.
ArUACfTY OF KKGLLATOBS. Upon the subject of regulating as it has been carried on in Monroe county and other places, we have no opinion to conceal. Wo loam that we have been severely censured for expressing an opinion averse to the brute force and hellish fmy- 1 -that*y?ms so j > l ‘il"T w ‘ r: ' r ~" men styling themselves Regulators. Wliat we have said we now fully nnd emphatically again endorse. While we have no sympathy for that class of persons who merited and received a temperate castigation for their manifold transgressions, we at the same approve of the illegal mode of indicting the penalty, though it were only commensurate; but when tho passions
of men, who would regulate the evils of the country, run riot as they inevitably do, wo do utterly abhor ami abominate the practice as an evil a thousand fold more to be deprecated than those which thoy would correct. What good citizen can for a moment contemplate the outrages that have been perpetrated in portions of Iowa, in Monroe county, and other portions i\f the AMjntrW, without raising his influence to crush out, instantly and effectually, so far as it can be done, the mobspiri>40 ranch upon the in-
creuoadn the country. As an example of the alarming extent to which the base passions of men will lefd, and the extent that Regulators feel authorized to go, we need but refer to their numerous acts of ruffianism, and their threatening speech to those who say aught against tb»*ni. We were credibly informed aTew days since by a gentleman of Monroe county, that the tree to which the murdered Bingham was tied while whipped and beaten, was found n short tintp afterwards besmeared with blood, with the drawers of the unfortunate victim tied around the same. On Wednesday last a gentleman passed by this tree and discovered a bunch
of itches, accompanied with a note of recent date,' placed between the dcavfsrs end the tree. The note read in'eui bata tie a, that the 'friend/ of I hsbr Jtottcr be carefuf bow they talked about the lujnlntors, strongly intimating if they did not, that'lu'v might expect similar treatment.
We are not a personal friend to Bingham, never having known the man, but wc aro an enemy lo the rpirit that wickedly assassinated him, and upon all proper occasions wo shall use our influence ‘to create a public sentiment, the intensity of which •hull scorch out every restige of border ruffianism, whatever evil it may seek to arrest. Wc Imve law that trill produce order, and there is no ©ccasion for anarchy just yet.
•€TThe individuals who were charged with stoning Lipmai/s house, one of whom wa* tried, '■onvicted. fined $‘2 r t, a war led a new trial and a change of ▼cntic to Springvillc, were to have had their trial at Ppringvillo on Friday last before J. L. Messick, Esq., in 1’erry township. The witnesses were in nttendanec on both bides, but the Prosecuting Attorney being satisfied that the jury had been packed by the Connivance of the constable and others, entered a noth in all the cases, and immediately filed informations in tbo Court of Common Pleas. Ws noticed the defendants returning from the trial with ribbons and banners flying, exulting over what they considered a triumphant victory, i They were, however, waited upon by the High Sheriff on their arrival, arrested and bound over until the next M term of court.

A FAST STOKV. An Englishman was bragging on f the speed of English railroads to a 1 Yankee traveler seated at his side v in one of the cars of u “fast train," I 1 in England. The engine hell was 1 rung as they neared a station. It w suggested to the Yankee an opportunity of “taking down his companion a 11 peg or t»o.” 1 a “What’s that uoiae?” innocently in- u Hiiircd the Yankee. “We are approaching a town," said i c the Englishman, “They have to com- j I 1 moncc ringing about ten miles before i * they get to a station, or else tho truin'* would run by before the bell could he i * heard! Wonderful, isn’t it? I sup- c pose they haven’t invented bells in 1 America yet?” 8 "Why, yes,” replied the yankee, 8 we’ve got bells hut can't use them on * our railroads. Wo run so tarnul fast * that tho train always keeps ahead of " the sound. Mo use whatever; the 1 v sound never reaches the village until 1 after the train gets by. 7 “Indeed!” exclaimed the English- ' man. “Fact," said the Yankee; “had to q give up hells. Then wc tried steam ,■ whistles bat they wowWn’t answer 1 cither. 1 was on a locomotive when I tho whistle was tried. Wc were go- 1 ing at a tremendous rate—hurricanes j were nowhere—and I had to hold my c hair on.

Prisoners Broke Jail. ! Between Saturday night, tin* 1st inst., and tho Funday morning following, a part of tlio prisoners ill Blootn-fi.-Wi Jail made their escape. it appears that tie v had beta preparing about two weeks. The jail is constructed of hewn timber, welthcrboarded. Lnduincath the timbers, in the h«tl w here the prisoners were iletatMtd, two while oak plank were placed diagonal with tho timbers. 15V some means tlio prisoners procured a small sow, and every night they would saw at -the timbers above the oak plunk, until last .Saturday night, when it appears they finished the job. They then crept up into the garret, sawed the weather boarding out of the west guide end, tied their (piilts together, let themselves down, and made good thor escape. | The names of the prisoners arc.Jefl Ra|K.r. confined under charge of murder, committed near St. Louis, and counterfeiting; Doctor l\ilson, late of the Indiana Penitentiary, milder the charge of grand larceny; the name of the other prisoner we did not i learn.

pKilsOSAt.-— A Tong Branch cor- 1 : respondent of the Trenton Gazette gives nn account of n rebuke administered to a party of fashionables at that place. Gor. Newell, of N. Jersey, and hits wife, having arrived at the Mansion House just at the dinner hour, entered the dining hall before Mrs. N. changed her attire. The party alluded to immediately, not knowing her, made audible remarks on her appearance, and spoke indignantly because the waiters, to whom tiov. N. was known, waited on him. Various amusing allusions were made in the table conversation. In the evening, when Mrs. N. appeared in the nnrlor in full dregs, she was saluted ny a gentleman who happened to be a friend of the ladies in tho fashionable party, and who Subsequently, on their inquiry, informed them who Mrs. N. was. They immediately sent abject apologies, which she refused to receive, ’ not on account of personal resentment, hut because their conduct exhibited them ns persons not fitted to , associate with genuine ladici, and she would not recognize them ns inch.

In one in- ' stance, poihaps in fh<- vicinity of ' Mitchell, n man was several times put off who had no money to pay his lure; but lie would hold on to some part of 1 the machinery, and when the train ' 1 would get under headway, would cpiM#j aboard.

An IsirojtTANT Cask.—The grand jury of Prince William county, Vs.,[ liavc found a true hill against John Underwood, for maintaining by speaking that “an owner lun no right of property in his slaves,” Ac., and he has been held to hail in the sum of $500 for his appearance at the November court. The Hrcntsville Jour,nal says; This case has created the most intense interest and excitement, being the fir.‘t case of the kind that 1ms ever occurred in our county. The fact that Mr. Underwood is a justice of the peace for this county bus tended in no small degree to add to the excitement, and has called forth violent expressions of feeling in regard■ i to the matter.
From Our Al’HHWfo/ts Corf tty undent. Dir. Independent: I said in my last letter that J would tell you something of our progress nnd what << time we had when the comet swung his tail against old Earth on the 1-ith ult. On Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night, the Idih and 14th, it rained terribly hard, especially on Sunday nttkt it lightened and thundered at 4k|B;iuu3 awfully grand, and a hired I’frker'a jumped n; sear >«d tit.-:, in. I it w with the jg HH difficult; Mrs. i'arker ifce lii i.i.it tl.i i i'iint I id J|ei n tin 11 i: ,!de i.ii | ''.ii.' ' i .ijj.i ■HHHPlB' 1 enni'-t ■’( Ii I. I WBrWr.St. Anthony. A fiijlr of colored gentlemen, (barbers,) sleeping in the cellar of the tavern in swinging hammocks, were frightened so that they like not to have got over it. On Sunday night, w hen the rain was coming down in torrents, a current that was cuttiig its way down the hill, made its way, by some hook or crook, through the door into the cellar, which was occupied as a barber shop and
drinking saloon, without waking the , u niyyen" up until the water in tho cellar was about chin deep. By and by the counter broke from its fasten* , mgs and swung against the hammock with a thump almost sufficient tu throw the occupant out. In a tw inkling Mr. Barber is out in the water nearly up to his chin, and thinking the comet had struck and knocked him out, ho raises the yell, mid tells his companion that the comet had struck, and that they would be drowned in a few minutes. Out be jumps, and finds himself in the water; so they both hung on to their hummocks until it was light enough for them to see where they were, hallowing Moody murder and the eoturl mean while. I thought last year that Minneapolis was built up with a rapidity thkt could not be exceeded; but I was
very much mistaken. 1 am safe in sayiug that there is being laid out in buildings and improvements of one kind or another, $6 to w here there was one last year. And to show you that I am not guessing, I w ill just snv there is now under way a district school house, nearly half up, which will cost when completed 110,000. Jt will be 28 feet high beside iM* lar—will coutnin —-*wrnis that will iiotwiiditjonate Rffy scholars each—the ’ whole to be warmed by a furnace in the cellar. The building is of crcomcolorcd brick. Also, a Missionary Baptist Church, which is to cost between $10,000 and $12,000, with a spire 110 feet high. It is ertam-co-lorcd brick, the basement story of which is now up. The Congregatioualisfs are going to put np as good a church. The Methodists have a frame house up and nearly covered, which will cost about $J,000 when completed. Doctor Ames is building a residence which will cost 812,000 —it is up and covered in—it is a frsnie with l tin roof, the whole of which is lo he painted with zinc. On Washington Avenue, three blocks below the “Ha- 1 /aar,” there is a large Hotel Icing built—it fronts on two streets, f>0 feet on one and 100 on the other, w ith a I wing extending hack 00 feet. It is 1 I four stories high beside the cellar, and
will cost, when finished, about 84fl,000, and w ill cost about f111,000 more to furnish it. It is a frame, and the largest wooden house I ever saw. On Washington Avenue, two blocks above “Bryant** Rornar,” there is going up a still larger hotel, which also fronts I pn two streets, 100 feet on one and 110 on the other—is to be five stories high beside the cellar, and will coat, when completed and furnished, between $80,000 and $100,000. There arc four business houses going up on Hennepin Avenue, three stories high, twenty feet wide, and forty and sixty feet long, costing $1,000 to $<’.000 1 each, of cream -colored brick, and iron front for first atory. I saw brick being hauled down to the lower end of town yesterday to put into a house f<»r the Edit *r of the »SV. Anthony Kxprem, to cost $15,000. That’s n pretty costly house for nn Siiifnr, a ini it? One and a quarter miles above| tho suspension bridge there is being | built n third bridge across the Mississippi at Minneapolis, which will costj between 880,00(1 and 840,000. In addition to nil this, there are; going up in all parts of the city of' Minneapolis, for three miles up and! down the Mississippi ntid one mile back, hundreds of dwellings, business 1 houses, and steam mills, costing from 8000 tc 84,000 for dwellings—815001 to 80,000 for business houses, and as high as 830,000 for steam mills, mid .these houses nre made of wood, atonei .and brick.

Now Mr. Independent, this may look a little like a “brick ” bull ntu’t help it if it does. I have left quite u margin for others to cut upon; anil to tell the naked truth, 1 have not ■witnessed any thing like it save in the city of Chicago, anil I have no ideu that Hedforditcs would be more astonished to witness the progress of improvement than is Rubin Kailroadhiiueclf. Knots are stubborn things.
1 mu sorry to say, Mr. Independent, that this city improvement is a little ahead of that goingon in the farming line in the country buck, although farm making is ahead of anything Inniuna or “IlUnoy”ever saw. 1 think I can hoc a disposition to build up towns on the river farter than the country back needs them. The farmers and many that planted their first crop, have undo a total failure so fur as raising u crop is concerned, and ninny of them will have to move into the villages and hack into the settlements, ami go to work at some mechanical business to raise mean tv to live upon this winter, mid to subsist upon while putting in a crop next spring. Their crops were eaten up this spring and summer hy the grasshoppers, which have infested the country in certain sections by millions of billions. One man told me that he had seen grasshoppers gathered into the shade of the fences to the depth of one foot. They are traveling now to the south and south-east, and a more interesting sight is not to be seen once in a life time. I was out a few moments since with my telescope looking at them on their journey.
They fly from ai[uart<-r to half a mile high, and as thick us snow flukes, thin silky wings glittering in theiun’s rays like burnished silver. They look Tike our common insect somewhat, but much smarter and us springy as a steel trap —little ones, notlargor than 1 •a flea, can jump a foot at a bound. One man told me that their eggs were ' • “ 1 so thick in place* that the ground was , gray with them to the depth of three- i fourths of an Inch, and when the < weather warmed up about the first of I June they hatched out and''pitched * in." Yes, Mr. Indejiemhil, they , pitched in bodily, flesh and hones, into i the wheat, oats, aftd corn fir'' ■ Jl1^ 'toiathorn tip root -jimetnA .1.1 this, they [pitched into the graft and ealat yluvn as hare as ,the “big ro cyl," then info the husher, where they left nothing hut hare poles; then they devoured fence railijthe paint off of houses ; pitched into houses till you could not sec the glass in the windows, cut window curtains into giblets, gnawed up the carpets, filled the wardrobes, cut buttons off of tho men's costs, cat the women's! skirts, fiwjt an I all. The Editor of i the Monticello Time* says: “They acted ns if they were drunk sad hound to raise tk XrJL'' generally. Thank heaven they are gone—took the air line route down to “Sgcypt" after more corn.’'

Late from the Plains. <Nineteen Men Attacked by a band of 150 Indians—One Man Killed and another Desperately Wounded — Eight hundred and twenty-four head of Cattle and twenty head of Mules and Horses run off by the Indians>. A couple of gentlemen, Mr. Wm. L. Summers and C. P. Buist, arrived in this city on Saturday last, direct from Fort Kearny, and reported that a company of nineteen men, having in their charge 824 head of beef cattle belonging to Russell & Waddle [sic] and destined for the Utah expedition, had been attacked by a band of 150 Cheyennes and Camanchcs, on the 1st inst. The Indians fired upon the drovers quite unexpectedly, killing one man and desperately wounding another. At the time of the attack, scarcely any of the drovers had their guns loaded. After recovering from the shock, they proceeded to load their guns as quickly as possible, and to return the fire. They think they certainly caused three, if not five, of the Indians to bite the dust. But this little repaid them for their own loss. The cattle belonging to the drove took a stampede at the first charge of the Indians, and before the skirmish was over they succeeded in running off twenty out of twenty-two of the company's mules and horses. This happened about twenty-seven miles above Fort Kearney; and having only two mules, or horses left, the greater part of the company had to foot it back to the Fort; which they did by a circuitous route, in order to avoid the Indians, thus making the actual distance much further. The wounded man suffered excruciating pain during the entire route. The shot he received broke his thigh. He and another man were on the same animal; the wounded man riding behind, with his leg dangling by the side of the beast upon which he was mounted. He also suffered greatly from the want of water, caused by loss of blood, and riding through the hot sun. —<St. Louis Journal, Aug>. 11. ---<>---

A man with an enormously large mouth called on a dentist to get a tooth drawn. After the dentist had prepared his instruments and was about to commence operations, the man of mouth began to strain and stretch his mouth till he got it to a most frightful extent. “Sav, sir,’* said the dentist, “don’t trouble yourself to stretch your mouth any wider, for 1 intend to stand on the outside to draw your tooth.” Excitement in Toronto — Canadian I’roleilanU anil Canadian Calho-hW.—-The population of Toronto, Canada, is in an excitable stutc.

StlAMitKU, OfTBAOE IN' LvXClIni:i«i.—The old Methodist church in I Lynchburg, on Sunday idglit l«»t, was the theater of a shameful outrage.— i it is thus noticed in tho Courier: Jt appears that on Sunday night last, a sacriligions wretch managed to obtain access to the gnsmotcr and let jOfi’ the water; the consequence was | that tho gas soon went out, leaving tho church in total darkness. Then it was that the same wretch, together with bis accomplices, scattered many pounds of finely-powdered pepper on the floor, benches, railings, and elsewhere!
The house was densely crowded, nnd after tho gas was lighted again ami' while the preacher was in the ! midst of a stirring appeal Jo the consciences of his hearers, the ladies commenced to ply their fans, and the persons standing in the aisles to move about to get u little fresh air. This i stirred up the powdered pepper, and started the whole congregation to coughing and sneezing at a rate so terrible as to put a speedy stop to tho services. I liable to endure their sufferings, many of the congregation rose up and uiudo for the doors. The doors could not be opened*"' There wore wretches outside holding them w ith ropes. How long this state of things lasted we were not told; what tbe consequences must have hern we leave to ho imagined.
