K? The N. Y. Journal of Com-

, "We regret very much to chronicle
the particulars oga personal Ittack upon
Governor Reeder of Kansas, by Gen.
Stringfellow of Missouri. It occurred,
not in Missouri, but in Kansas; not in
a public street, but in the Governor’:
room. This indicates premeditnuon, ind
asettled purpose. So far as appears,‘
the Governor acted entirely on the de.
fenaive,» "and did not even strike back.- -
He probably considered himself sent
there not to engage in fisticuffs, but to
administer the laws. We are glad that
he left all the violence to Gen. String.
fellow. If, however, the oflicers of the
U. S. government in the Territories are
exposed to such brutal encounters, it is
time that means of protection were pro.
vided. Every outrage committed upon
an officer of the government, is a sense
committed upon the government itself.-
It ought to be able to protect its own of-
ficers. These repeated acts of violence
on the part of the Missourians, or a por-
tion of them, are doing more than any-
thing else to strengthen the handset‘ the
opponents of the Nebraska Law.”

Capt. Burke, from the fields of Mexico,
and of Capt. Zabrickie, who nobly fell in
the same campaigne_ -
It was the Fusiliers who, liberally led
in the subscription by Capt, Richard
French, presented one‘ thousand dollars
to Kossuth, the only “material aid" deri.
ved from any of the New York military,
we believe, though much was promised.
Partially correcting the captain in the
matter of the liberty cap: if we remem-
ber rightly, it was the “citizens of New
York," in a grand demonstration at the
Park Theatre, the affair originating with
the Fusiliers, through the instrumental-
ity of our old friend Henry Libeneau,
Esq., at that time a very active member
of the corps. The Fusiliers carried out
the business, being‘ joined in it by the
"G-arde La Fayette,” Capt. Lonati.—-.
Passing all this, we come to t he visit.
A majority of the med had never be-
fore been at Norwalk. The beauty of
of the town, the banners hung, in honor,
the booming of ordnange, the spontane-
ous outporing of the people, the array of
lovely women, the presentation of bo-
quets—-everything conspired to make
glad. the hearts of the New Yorkers.-
When the dinner was over, prominent
citizens came with their carriages, po-
litely tendering them to the use of the
men andbflicers. Chiefly all availed
themselves of this very kind favor, and
directly the uniforms,‘ in rich vehicles,
behind magnificent animals. might be
seen flying in every direction through
the shaded. avenues; here crossing and
recrossing in the routes-yonder stretch-
ing in the distance, each in pursuit of
fresher novelties, and in an ecstacy of
delight with the pleasure afforded. In
these drives the surpassing loveliness of
the Norwalk ladies was the theme of
constant remark. _ It being near sun-
down, the moment was favorable for the
mung ladies to present themselves, un-
covered, at the porches of ‘the various
mansions--some feclining, some stand-
ing, some indifierently viewing the sol-
diers (1') some reading, &c., so that a
very fair representation of the female por-
tion of the town was obtained. The
conclusion was arrived at, that for beam-
ty of person, and comelrness of attire,
these Connecticut girls ‘are, in familiar
phrase, "hard to beat.”
At the early hour of 5 o’clock on Fri-
day morning, the Fusiliers were on the
march for home. Arriving at the boat,
large numbers of people had assembled
to wjtnesa the departure. But I mo-
ment, und the "Law’s” moorings were
parted, with cheers and responses and
"Lang Syne" from the band. On board
were found a company of ladies and gen-
tlemen, who had decided to be availed
of an early morning excursion, and see
the soldiers home. The two captains-
land and water-—-were not long in deci-
ding that the ‘main deck must be clear-
ed for action; so up went the matting,
and the strings of the musicians’ instru-
ments at the some time, and thus, with
the steamer converted into a genuine bat-
teau de plaisance, her syviftness through
the water, and the cooling breezes of
the morning, a more delightful enter-
tainment was seldom ever witnessed.
Dancing and merriment prevailed du-
ring the entire passage. On arriving at
the wharf the Norwalk passengers as-
sembled on the upper deck, while‘ the
Fusiliers, deharking, filed around, and
"presented arms,” the band saluting Ma-
jor General Guyer, (who was with the
Norwalkers) in accordance with his rank
then, “three cheers for General Guyer,
the ladies, annd citizens. of Norwalk
generally,” were given by the Fusiliers
with a hearty will, upon which they
marched away, profoundly impressed
with a sense of the gratitude they owed
to their hospitable entertainers-—,i.he
younger members, a few of them, brush-
ing ofi' a tear at being suddenly forced
from certain -fair ones. to whom they
were momentarily becoming bound in
Cupids’ strongest bonds.
An entertainment being tendered at
the Atlantic Gardens, thither the march

width of Broadway was regained, and,
by mid of the escort of Policemen,
through the arrangement of our excellent
Mayofin behalf of military men, I spit-
ited march, to the loudest blasts of the
instruments, was perfectly unobstructed
