VOL. IX.--NO. 125.THE DAILY DISPATCH.

Wfrtnmdny Mmligi ai«y liii, IMS.The Indignation Meeting in Ma*Kachusett«.

Mixcckn tf Prtmliett Net.The Boetnn papert contain an account of the

great meeting there Saturday sight, to expret*"indignation"at the chastisement inflicted on Se-nator Sumner. Itwaa one of the largest gathe ?

tag* that haa assembled In that city for manyyeart, thouaands of people being unable to gainadmittance.

The meeting wag called to order by William BSpooner, Kstj, who (tated that it wu not the de-monstration of any political party, and he shouldbe ashamed of our citizens shou Id they seize uponluch an occasion to manufacture capital. The<|ue>tion in,?' Shall our representative* in Coigre«s be allowed to express themselves in a strictly parliamentarymanner without being subjects.to outr«g«*t" (Shout*?'.'They shall," '"The)shall," from all part* of the hall.)

Mr. >Spooner then read a list of officers. PoiPresident, His Excellency Got. Gardner. (Londand prolonged chcers.) Then followed the namesof forty

Vict Presidents?The most prominent ofwlioui were Lieut. Gov. Benchley, Hon. E. C Ba-ker, Hon. Charles A. Phelps, Mayor Rice, il<mSamuel H. AValley, Peleg W Chandler, Ex-Gov.Boutwoll, Hon. Ells yewell, Amos A. Lawrence,J. W. Paige, Ezra Lincoln, Hon. Daniel Warren]JDra. J. V. C Smith and N. B. Shurtleff, Hon. Na-thau Hale, l'rof. C. C. Kelton, ltev. laymanBeech*er, and Charles O. ltogers.

Secretaries?A Lawrence, Charles Hale, andB. P. Uussell.Ihe officers, as announced, were unanimously

confirmed.The meeting wag opened with an appropriate

prayer by llev. Roliin H. Neale.Gov. Gardner, on taking the chair, said thin wasnot a personalovation. We come here as citizen*

of Massachusetts, siuiply andBolely because a Sena:or of Massachusetts has been assaulted with agrossness aud brutalitywhich history, until now,has never had written upon its page*. Thiswas uot a party meeting; if so, he would not,as Governor of Massachusetts, sanction it with hitpresence. (Cheers) lie would consider himselfrecreant to his duty wore he not to meet on anoccasion like this with his friends, to give utter-ance to his sentiments. He referred to the occa-sion when Mr. Sumner last addressed the citizensof Boston from this rostrumagainst himself,(Gardner,) who was then a candidate of an oppositepany to that to which Mr. Sumner belonged, andhe thanked the committee, who, by requesting himto presideon this occasion, had given him an op-portunity to rise above party prejudice. WhileMr. Sumner is in the Senate he would do all in hispower and ability to strengthen his arm and aidhim in his professional duties. (Renewed cheers.)fci years gone by outrages have been committedin Congress?aye, even murder, committed by itsmembers, but this is the lirst time that a Senatorhas been struck down in his seat in the Senatechamber. We now call upon Congress to expelthe assailant from the halls of Congress. (Cheers )The Governor animadverted briefly upon theharsh invective and opprobrium that prevailedamong all parties, which, to some extent, has en-gendered the bitter personal feelings between op-posing political factions.

[A few persons in the gallery, thinkingthis re-ferred to Mr. Sumner's iate speech, commencedhissing, but were effectually drowned by repeatedcheers, aud Mr. Gardner continued.] Hesaid thequestion before us was, shall a Senator from Mas-sachusetts be denied the indulgencein dabate, andin thesame maimer that sixty other Senators areallowed. The Governor then alluded to the speechof Mr. Sumner as beingfar less objectionable thanmany that have been made byothers in the Hallsof Congress, and concluded by saying that whenthe justand equitable rights of our MassachusettsRepresentatives were denied them, that he whowould uot rise in opposition to such proceedings, isnot worthy of the rights he enjoys, t Tremen-dous cheering.]

The President then introduced Judge Russell,who read the following resolutions :

Resolved, That wo have heard with grief andindignation of the brutal assault committed uponour esteemed Senator, Charles Summer, forwords spoken in debate, and of the insult offeredin his person to the honor of ourcommonwealth.

Reaolved, That in this outrage we see new en-croachments upon Ireedom, new violations of Staterights, anil a xtrange disregard of chivalrous prin-ciples, while in the conduct of such laen as Sena-tor Crittenden we gladly recognize proofs of thefact that in all sections of the country there aremen of high honor, of pure principles, and of truepatriotism.

Resolved, That this attack is to berebuked notouly as a cowardlyassault upon a defenceless man,but as a crime against theright of free speech andthe dignityof a free State.

Resolved, That, as American citizens, we deep-ly lament the odium which such acts cast upon ourcountry and upon the cause of Republicanismthroughout the world.

Resolved, That althoughsixty-eight members ofthe National House ofRepresentatives have votedthat they think no inquiryregarding the outrageis necessary, still we feel confident that Congresswill free itself from the same crime by expellingthe offender from the seat which ho has disgraced.

Resolved, That we regard every blow inflictedupon our Senator, as a blow aimed at us; that inourestimation his wounds arc honorable wounds:that as citizens of Massachusetts, without distinc-tion of party, we pledge hira here, in old FaneuilHall, our sympathyand support in the fearlessand independentdischarge of his duty.

\u25a0boat make mft more united endft more happy,because ft more free people.

CoL A.D. Brewster waa received with heartycheers. He said be wu prepared to make ft cleanbreaatof Itt [Cheer*.J LOder the flag of onrcountry, floating over oar National Capitol, ft Se-nator of Maasachuaett* bad been cloven down bjra dastardlycoward I He trotted that a voice wouldiro forth from Faneuil Hall to-night, that wouldshake the country from battlement to foundation.[Cheer*. ] He knew not what eourae other* mighttake,but a* for him give him liberty or give himdeath. [Kntbuaiaatlc applatue ] He alto quotedthe remark of Webster, that there waa a blow togive as well aa to take, and aaid, ''If it come* tothat, fellow-citizens, I *ay, let It be war to theknife, and the knife to the hilt" [Terrific cheer* ]If the South wanta to play at that game, let herremember that two can play at it. [Cheer*, andcrie* of "That'* It."] The duty of the North it toarm tothe teeth, and. rubmit no more to tuch indigni-ties aa hove been heaped upon her. [Repeated cheer*,and crie* of " Good, good."] lie concluded bycounselliug firmness on our part; and when thetime doe* come, the North would come out of thebattle a* she did in the time* that tried men'* soul*,with victory perched upon her banner*. Hi* re-marks throughout were warmlyendorsed by tbeimmense audience.

Cot Brewster was followed by John A. Andrewand Peleg W. Chandler, when tbe resolutionswere unanimously adopted, and at IIP. M. themeeting adjourned.

A number of ladies were present in tbe gal'leries.

Largo delegations were present from Charles-town, Roxbury, Cambridge, Chelsea, and othersubnrban towns.

Several of the Boston clergy, Sunday,made therecent outrage at Washington the subject of fer\u25bcant prayer to the Throne of -Grace. to avert thedire evils which threaten our country.

At the preliminary meetingon Friday evening,Rev. Theodore Parker bad a slight "go:"'

He did not blame the South or the slave Statesfor the assaalt, but the respectability of Boston.?Where were the democrats) where were thewhigs? They were not here. Nay, a very sobercitizen asked oneof tlie men of "eminent gravity"what he thoughtof the affair of Sumner, when hesaid "he was d?ri glad of it"?for "what businesshad he to insult Mr. Butler in the Senate*" Yes,he was d?d glad of it?thla respectable citizen.?(Cries of name him) No,Mr. Parker would notname him; but he might say that the name of theparty was legion. The same respectability of Bos-ton sent AnthonyBurns into slavery, and it alsoassaulted Charles Sumner. The boys of Bostonwent about approving the captureof Burn?; theywere running about to-day approving the assault.The respectable citizens were at the bottom of this.Had they repudiated thefugitive slave bill it wouldnot have been passed, and tho city disgraced byseeing men dragged into slavery over the veryground thathad been sanctified by the .-bedding ofthe blood of martyrs. A good deal of hissing audconfusion greeted the attacks of Mr. Parker onthe democratic and whig parties, which showedthat some of both were present. He left the ob-ject of the meeting altogether, and made au anti-slaveryspeech,and the audience became very im-patient. No dissent was manifested when Mr.Parker "spoke in order." He concluded by eulo-gising the representative delegation fiom Massa-chusetts, in Congress.

luvcstfffntlon of the Sumner AsHnult.TheHouse committee of Investigation waited

on Mr. Sumner Monday in discharge of their dutyregarding tlia recent assault. Hewas in bed, butgave his testimony and was also cross-examined.He was unable tosit up during the visit of the com.mittee, but didso a short time Monday. He is stillvery weak and his physicians counsel him not tomove outof the House for a week. 9

The following is Mr. Sumaer's statement onoath:?"l attended the Senate aa usual on Thurs-day, the2ad of May. After some formal businessa message was received from the House of Repre-sentatives; announcing the death of a member ofthat body from Missouri. This was followed by abrief tribute to the deceased from Mr. Ceyer, ofMissouri, when, according to usage and out of re-spect to the deceased, the Senate adjourned, in-stead of leaving the chamber with the rest on theadjournment. I continued in my seat occupied withmy pen. While thus intent, lu order to bu in sea-son for the mail, which was soon to close, I wasapproached by several persons, who desired toconsult with me, but I answered them promptlyand briefly, excusing myself, for the reason that Iwas much engaged.

When the last of these persons left me, I drewmy arm chairclose to my desk, and with tny legsunder my desk, continued writing. My attentionat this time was so entirely drawu from all otherobjects, that, though there must have been manypersons iu tho Senate, I saw no body. While thusintent, with my head bent over my writing, I wasaddressed by a person who approached the frout ofmy desk, so entirely unobserved that I was notaw are of his presence until 1 heard my name pro-nounced. As 1 looked up,with my pen in my hand,I saw a tall man, whose countenance was not fa-miliar, standingdirectly over me, and at the samemoment I caught these words:?"l have readyour speech twice overcarefully. It la a libel onSouth Carolinaand Mr. Butler, who is a relative ofmine.' 1

While these words were still passing from hislips, be commenced a succession of blows with aheavy caneon my bare head, by the first of whichI was stuuned so a* to lose sight. Ino longer sawmy assailant, nor any other person or object in theroom What Idid afterwards was done almost un«consciously, acting under instincts of self defence,with my head alreadybent down. I rose from myseat, wrenching up my desk, which was screwedto the floor, and then pressing forward, while myassailant continued bis blows. I had noother con-sciousness, until 1 found myself ten feet forwardin lront of my desk, lying on tbe floor of the Sen-ate, with my bleedingbead supported on the kneeof a gentleman, whom I soon recognized by voiceand manneras Mr. Morgan o£ New York. Otherpersons there were about me ottering friendly aa-sistance, but I did not recognize any of tbem.?Others there were at a distance, looking on andoffering no assistance, of whom I recognized onlyMr. Douglas of Illinois, Mr. Toombs of Georgia,and I thought, also my assailant standing betweenthem.

Hon. John C. Park, (ex-Attorney General) in se-conding the resolutious, said he came here entirelydivested of party feelings, as a citizen of Boston.?Everyhour by every railroad train and by tele-graph, we receive tidings of spontaneousoutburstsfrom all our neighboringcities, aud the city of Bos-ton, true to her cherished principles, will not bebackward in anexpression of indignation at thisgreat outrage. Ho claimed that the citizens of Bos-ton were a law-loving people?a law-abidingpeo-ple, and in proof of this assertion stated that it was

1but two years previous to the dayMr. Sumner wasbeaten down so cowardly in the Senate Chamber,that the citizen soldieryof Massachusetts were dis-played in force to show onradhesiou toconstitutedlaw. (Sensation ) He denounced the attack uponour Senator as an unwarrantedexhibition ofbruteforce, if free speech and free discussion are not tobe granted, our forefathers landed at PlymouthRockfor nopurpose: ourfathers atBunker Hill, andSouth Carolina's fathers at Yorktown, bled in vain.If tree speech is to be beaten down, then Webster,and Clay, and other patriots labored in vain.?Prom the time of the Reformation to the libertyoffree Kansas, freespeech had been baptised in blood.The speaker concluded by saying that if SouthCarolina will ignore this base outrage, committedby one of her sons, she will find that Massachusetts,now, as of old, is ready to meet her again and unitein fraternal bonds. (Cheers.)

Hon. George S. Hilliard said he came to themeeting as a citizen of Boston, in the broadest ac-ceptationof the term. The moral effect and sig-nificance of this meeting will be just in proportionas it is kept clear of party issues. Assaults inWashington are not rare, (laughter,) but the as-sault which we have met to condemn, greatly ex-ceeds in malignityall former ones. Theprinciplethat a man can resort to personal violence, toredress a private wrong, we all must emphaticallyrepudiate. There is no paliatioufor the offence;theassault was not a hot-headed one, for he had atleast one sun to set upon his wrath. The attackwas cowardly is the extreme, and the act wasthat of anassassiu. We come together to-nlgbt,to express oursympathy with our now prostratedSenator. It is not that be is a member of anyparty, but that he is representative of the State ofMassachusetts, that we tender him our expres-sions of sympathy. In conclusion, he expressedbis detestation of the act, and would calmlyrecordhi* unqualified Indignationagainst the outrageousproceeding. (Great applause )

Hon. K. C. Baker, President of the Senate ofMassachusetts, was then Introduced. He said;

"Kellow-cltlzens of Boston?fellow-citizens ofMassachusetts?Of what do you complain t It isbecause Massachusetts has been subbed throughbar Senator I" lie then referred in indignantterm* to the assault, but counselled coolness andmoderation, relying *pon the future that the rightmight tiiumph.

?

Hon. Cbsrles A. Phelps nextaddressed the aodi-and made a spiritedand thorough New Eng-

land'soeeeb. In tne coarse of his remarks, k«said be hoped tbe people of Massachusetts wouldteach the Federal Government that there Isa Mas-sacbusets a* well a* a Federal Government, andthat she will have her rights, ll'hls was receivedwith tbe most tremendous cheering ]

Hon. Samuel H W«Uey ffoiwarly member ofCongress) was the next speaker HU remarkswere enthusiastically received. He concluded asfollows : I believe that tbe blow* which fell uponMr, Sumner will, la the result* they will bring

I was helped from the floor and conducted intothe lobby of the Senate, where I was placed upona sofa. Of those who helped me there I have norecollection. As I entered the lobby I recognizedMr. Slide 11, of Louisiana, who retreated; but I re-cognized noone else until I felt a triendly grasp ofthe hand, which seemed to come 'rom Mr. Camp-bell, of Ohio. 1 have a vague impression that MrBright, President of the Senate, spoke to mewhile I was on the floor of the Senate or in thelobby. I make this statement in answer to the in-terrogatories of the committee, and offer it as pre-senting completely all my recollections of theassault and of the attending circumstances,whether immediatelybefore or immediatelyafter!I desire to add that besides tbe words which 1havegiven as uttered by my assailant, I have an indis-tinct recollection of the words "old man," butthese are so enveloped in the mists which ensuedfrom the first blow, that I am not sure they wereuttered or not.

On cross-examination, Mr. Sumner said that bewas entirely without arms of any kind, and thathe had no notice or warningof any kind, direct orindirect, of this assault.

In answer toanother question, Mr. Sumner re-plied?That what he had said of Mr. Butler wasstrictly responsive to Mr. Butler's speeches.

TheCount do Montenuovo, the son of CeuntNeipbergand Marie Louise, the widow of Kapo-leou, is now a lieutenant field marshal in the ser-vice of Austria, lie has still in his possession thefamous collarofrose colored pearls which the firstEmperor gave Marie Louise when they were mar-ried- and his wife, the Hungarian Dutchess Bathl-any,' now wears it In the drawingrooms of Vienna.

DAILY DISPATCH.RICHMOND, WEDNESDAY. MAY 28,1856

LOCAL MATTBR&Shrapnel Shells?Some few days since we briefly

noticed some experiments made by Cap*. Boex-boidt. of this city, with shells invented by blm,which were quite satisfactory to the military andscientific gentlemenwho witnessed them. Theseshells, It will be remembered, are charged with acomposition prepared by Capt H, aad carry anumber of musket balls, which, on the explosionof the shell, radiate forwards aad downwards, andmust, therefore, be effective instruments in dis-lodgingan wiemy from behind a breastwork, a*well ae in checking a cavalry or Infantry chargein *B open field. As we did not witness the ex-periments alluded to, and had understood that thecartridge used for driving the shell was made ofordinaiy cannon powder, we did not understand~ a advantage to be derived from charging tbeauell with the newcomposition; bat aiace our firstnotice of the invention, explanationa have beenmade to na of itt utility, which have changed ouropinion on that subject, and we therefore givethem to thereader. They are these: Experiment*nave proved that cannon powder, when mixed withmusket ball* in tbe shell,have cauaed the abell toburat before leaving tbe bore of the gun, by theaudden shock and friction of the lead balls againsteach other and the ahell, coming in contact withthe powder. An ordinary field charge will some-time* cau*e the bursting of the shell by the timeit leave* the gun, and when this U the case the ef-fect of the shell on the enemy is almost totally lost.To avoid this result the quantity of powder hassometimes been reduced, and then it often happensthat the shell will not burst; but when it doesburst, the effect of the fragments and lead ball*,thrown forward, do not prove a* destructive as iftneexplosiveand propelling power were greater.Toprevent the premature burstingof the shell, aswe have described, and at the same time to ensurethe necessarypropelling force tomake the missilesdestructive, Capt. B. has invented a new powder,or composition, for which he claims the followingmerits:

Ist. It cannot be inflamed by any shock or fric-tion.2d. The burning of the composition, when notclosely confincd, is veryslow.3d. When placed in contact with red hot iron, itwill burn, but the buroiug will cease as soon as theiron is removed._4th. Ifprepared for bursting, it burns suddenly,with the most intense heat of th« gases, and effectsa more powerful destruction than gunpowder.sth. It can be prepared at any place, without

the slightest danger, and is less expensive thangunpowder.tith. In finishing, or charging shells, no damage

can possiblyoccur by premature explosion. If byaccident, or design, fire is placed in an unfinishedshell, instead of causingan explosion,as would bethe case if ordinary powder were used, the com-position will burn out slowly, doing no more dam-age than theburning of so much paper.

lu charging a six pound shell but three ouncesof this composition is neccssary, aud double thatamountis required for a twelve pound shell.

If this composition will perform what its inven-tor claims for it, and his experiments thus far, havefully sustained his calculations, the reader willreadily perceive the advantages it possesses forcharging shells over ordinary gunpowder, andwhy it should be adopted by the U. S. Govern-ment. The fact that it is not liable to explosionfrom friction?that it burns like straw if set tiro toin an open place?that it is perfectly safe in charg-ing shells?and is vastly more powerful than gun-powder when preparedfor explosion, are charac-teristics that will recommend it to the army andnavy, and ensurefor it a wide spread popularity.

On Monday last, Capt. B. repeated his experi-ments with great suceess, and, it is said, has beeuinvited to visit the Military Institute at Islingtonand there test his invention in the most thoroughmanner.

Raiting a Subscription?A subscription list isbeing extensively circulated in Jefferson Ward toraise a sumof money with which to present Mrs.Bowlingfor applyinga cowhide to «x-oflicer Yar-rington, on Saturday last. Oflieer Y. has hereto-fore been a great favorite with the ladies, most ofwhom admire him for his good looks and his gal-lantry, and under the influence of their angelicsmiles, made himself a terror to evil doers foryears?but now that the fair haveturned againsthim, and oue of them has actually beaten himwith many stripes, bis case is a hopeless one. In-stead of raising a subscriptionto reward the ladyfor her merciless cruelty,the whole city should riseas one inau and offer their condolence to the per-secuted ex-olficer, whose proverbial gallautrystood by him in thehour of peril, and enabled himto bear the infliction] of the lash rather than rude-ly resist the striking marks of affection bestowedupon him by a lady in vindication of her busband's rights.

MerManic*' Institute.?An appeal will bo made toour citizens in tbe course of a few (lays, to aid tbi.iInstitute in erecting a large and spacious ball, inwhichto hold its annual exhibition)', and to carryonits School of Design and Night School for ap-prentice!, and we do hope that every citizen willnot only feel it to be aduty, but wilt deem it a plea-sure, to aid in carrying out au object in which theprosperity of Richmond Is so deeply involved.?Richmond, if she is to become a great manufactu-ring and mechanical city, must do so by the suc-cessful enterprise of the workingmen, and theycan never becomo successful unless educated. TheCouncil of the cityhas shown its willingness to aidin this important work by tenderinga lot on whichto build a ball. Itnow becomes the dutyof everycitizen to aid in raining the means for erecting thatbuilding; and as the good to be derived from it isto become universal, we trust that the Institutewill find nodifficulty in procuring sufficient fundito run up the buildingat once.

Fireman's Trouble.?One of the firemen of thecity was fined by the Mayoryesterday for takinga hose reel on the sidewalk of Grace street, in thenighttime. An ordinance of thecity prohibits thefire aparatus from running on the sidewalks atany time, and the firemen woulddo well to re-member this tact.

Apart fromtho songs ot the company, theirrich jokes and tell-ing wit, the accordeon solo byLevi Brown, and theviolin solo, with variations, by P. B. Isaacs, weremore than worth tbe price of admission. The bur-lesqueof "Mazeppa," in which a live horse, mane,tall, and all, is introduced, is most amusing, andneverfails to win applause.

Fayette Artillery.?This old and valued company,under the command of Capt. Richardson, will cel-ebrate its approaching anniversary on the 2Dthinst., at the farm of Col. Myers, on the plank road,where the usual target practice will take place?

Continental Guard?The anniversary af tinscompany will be celebrated fn a becoming mannernext month, and it is said thatmany of the militaryof Petersburg will be Invited to joiß them on theoccasion. Where the dinnerwill be given we arcunable to aay, but that Capt Crawford will spareno effort* to make the affair a pleasant one, therecannot be a shadow of a doubt.
