SATURDAY EVE, JUNK 0, 1851.

Insurrection—Civil War in Clay Co. The most extraordinary state of things now exists in our midst, that ever disgraced a State. Wo refer to the Birch Creek outlaws, about which so much has been said of late. Governor Wright has issued a second Proclamation, in which ho reiterates the various outrages perpotrated, and tho necessity for the preservation of tho honor and dignity of the State, and declares in tho most emphatic mannor that the laws of tho State will be executed and the rights

of property and person protected. Ho declares that the whole military force of tho State will be brought, if necessary, to put down tho lawless proceedings. And calls upon all good citizens of Clay Co., to assist.

Tho Governor has called to his assistance Gen. Dodd of Marion, and Col. Nees of Clay, whom he has authorized Ur lead to tho scene of outrage such a force as shall be necessary, and to take such measures as shall, be required to protect those engaged in repairing the Resorvoir, and also if possible to bring to justice the scoundrels now engaged in this disgraceful violation of persoftal private and public property. His excellency closes his proclamation, with the following noble and patriotic sentiment "It is far better that millions be expended, and even lives sacrificed, than that a lawless band of men or pri-

vate individuals, should usurp the authority of law, and rule a day or an hour in madness in our happy State."

Now the issue is made and it remains to be seen whether these "Black boy" marauders will resist the power of the executive, or will betake themselves, to their dens, of darkness and infamv. They have proceeded too far for escape* —their crimes are immense, and of the most diabolical character, and it is not possible longer to escape tho penalty of their outlawry.

With the instructions to Gen. Dodd. Gov. Wright encloses a letter to the Sheriff of Clay Co., calling upon him to be vigilent in tho discharge of his duty, and more than intimates that if the authorities of Clay Co., do not sympathise with tho measures of tho executive, thai tho County will be declared in a state of insurrection, arid dealt with accordingly. We aro glad to see his excellency take such decisive steps, it is like him, and we know the state which ho has ruled so long and so well, will sustain him in, and honor him for, vindicating the laws of the land.

The following is a listof the outrages, committed by the regulators in the

vicin

ity of the Birch Creek Rcsorvoir:

I: 1. Destruction of Birch Creek Resrvoir, 2 2d, 1854. 2. Attempt to destroy waste-way of same, July 6, 1054 3. Attempt to burn Eel Ri\or Dam,

August, 1854 4. Destruction of Birch Creek Resorvoir, May 10th, 1855 5. Warning off men sent to repair the same, May 31st, 1855 6. Partial destruction of Aqueduct over Birch Creek, May 31st, 1855 r7. Mobbing, lynching, and tearing down the house of a citizen, May 24th, ^1856 ^*,^8. Burning of Shanties, destruction

Vof property and turning the inmates out S ?f doors, near the Resorvoir, June 2d

Tho Arrison Case Again. Arrison is to h$veanewtrial. On the 7tli, the judgment of the Criminal Court was reversed, in tho District Court.

The Cincinnati Times says. The part

of tho charge held to be erroneous is as follows: "A few words, gentlemen, as to what you must sav in your verdict, and we are done. If you find the defendant not guilty, you will merely say so. But if you find him guilty, the statue requires you to specify in your verdict, of what crime he is guilty. Therefore, if you come to the conclusion that he is guilty as alleged in tho indictment, you will say. 'We the Jury find the defendant, Wm. H. Arrison, guilty of murder in the first degree, as charged in the indictment,' or words to this effect."

The Court said, that in other parts of the charge, tho distinction between murder in the first degree, the second degree, and manslaught:r, was sufficiently defined to the jury, but this direction to the jary es to what they must say in their verdict, left the jury no discretion, if they found the defendant guilty at all, but to return a verdict of guilty of murder in tho lirst degree.

But the indictment, while in form an indictment for murder in the first degree, was equally an indictment for tho two lesser grades of criminal homicide, and whether the defendant was guilty of homicido in the first, second or third grade, was a question of fact which should have beeu submitted to the jury. If found guilty at all, it was tho duty of the jury to find of what grade of tho crime lie was guilty, but the question whether guilty of either of the two lesser submitted to them at grades was not all but on tho contrary they were distinctly told, that if found guilty as alleged in the indictment, they should return him guilty of murder in the first degree.

Thee was no language in the charge as exhibited by the record that sufficiently modified this direction,.t divest it of its glaring error. The question of fact, which was peculiarly the duty of the jury to find namely, the grade of the offence, whether murder in the first or second degree, or manslaughter was not submitted to to the jury. It was to be presumed that the jury followed the direction ©f tho court, aud only considered the case as involving tho question of murder in the first degree, or entire innocence. For this error, therefore, the judgment must be reversed.

The cause was remanded to the Court of CommonfiPleas, for anew trial.

Neal Dow in Trouble.

Neal Dow, the author of the Maine Liquor Law, it will be seen, is now undergoing an examination, in Portland Maine, for having, ordered a military company to fire upon the populace, when, as is contended by some, there existed no exigency calling for such ultimate measures.

We aro inclined to think that Mayor Dow was precipitate in his measures, as well as injudicious in his purchase of the liquors which gave riso to these scenes of bloodshed and litigation.

Glorying over the Defeat of the Liquor Law in Ilia. We learn from a gentleman from Ills., that one day this week a Rev. Sebastian C. Fox a Campbellito preacher, had joined in a celebration of tho Liquor triumph in the vicinity of Marshall or Darwin Ills., nnd becoming very much •levated by potions of his divinity, whisky, started for home, fell or was thrown from his horse, and killed, being shockingly mangled.

The above report is doubtful.

fiST It appears that Mr. Wiso's majority in Va., has been reduced, by tho official returns, to less thr-n 10,000, this showing the wisdom of tho old liners, in holding their jollification whilo there appeared to bo something to glory over. Wo were credibly informed, at Paris, the other day, by a reader of the "Valley Blade" thatW ises majority was over 30,000.

itST" Whilo in Paris, a day or two since, wo availed ourself of tho opportunity, to call upon that noble gentleman and dignified editor. Mr. J. Harding, of the Beacon. Wo found him in tine spirits, and spent a short time, very pleasantly, in his company. "We hope for abetter acquaintance with Bro. Harding.

Highly Important from the Hostile Indians. A correspondent of the Missouri <Republican>, writing from Whitehead, Kan-

sas Territory, on the 22d ult., says:

There are daily arrivals from the plains, and each one brings new and different reports of the Indians. The last in is the train of Mr. Mason from Salt Lake. He says the Brules, the Cheyennes, the Arraphahoes, the Kiotas, the Minnecoutees, and the Comanches are assembling in Ash Hollow, to the number of 3,000 warriors, and eager for a fight. They laugh at the idea of being whipped by our regular soldiery, and say they would fear twenty old mountaineers more than a thousand of them that while our soldiers are playing their music and turning about in column, they will give them a fire and run out of sight and hide that the soldiers can never catch them in their valleys and mountains, and that they will have a fine time in taking the scalps of scattered and lost parties, and stealing horses provisions.

i£5T We have received the first No. of a paper just started in Indianapolis, by Hatch and Brothers, called the Indianapolis American and is devoted to thb cause of reform. It is of good size, neatly printed, and is published at one dollar per annum. Success gentlemen.

To CORRESPONDENTS.—"Emma" writing from Charleston Ills., is informed that, when this office changed hands, the present proprietors were informed that tho paper was sent to Mr. A W as complimentary, hence its discontinuance.

A Cooi. STATEMENT.—Tho Nuremberg (German) Courier states, under the head cf Stuttgard, that the corporation of Baisingen, in the provinco of Hoib, have sold their poor-house to the Jews, and sent their jjoor to America. "Tho Jews shall be gathered together, from all the earth" and America a/tall bo rid of them, and all foreign paupers.

that the horses of all the traders would be impressed for the use of the Indians, and after their horses were all gone their scalps would then be taken.

They are stealing all they can lay their hands on. They had stolen 86 horses

from Fort Laramie, and 27 mules from

under the guard at Fort Kearney. A party of Cheyennes chased some Pawnees into Fort Kearney, and shot one of them after they were in. The surgeon took possession of the body; the Cheyennes demanded the scalp; it was refused; the Cheyennes made some hostile demonstrations, when a file of soldiers fired into them; the Cheyennes stood for a moment as if to see if any of their band were wounded. Not a ball, however had taken effect. They then departed slowly, taking off 27 mules. Those in the fort are said to have been very much alarmed, and congratulated themselves on having missed their aim, believing if they had killed one, the Indians would have butchered them all.

The few who are in charge of Laramie and Kearney are in a state of the keenest apprehension and painful suspense. They fear that the Indians who are gathering about them in such numbers, and with no friendly feelings, may wipe them all out, by way of getting their hands in before the new detachments reach them. But this can hardly be the case for no considerable body will venture so far east as Kearney, while those concentrating at Ash Hollow will prepare to meet our soldiers in full force at that point. They do not need Laramie, and will exhaust none of their strength in taking it. Their policy is to fignt in the mountains, where they can annoy us, and yet escape, as long as possible. -----
