JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.,:


Things begin once more in old Columbia to as
sume serious aspect; we may emphatlcally ex
claim with gifted son of the Revolution, ''tha
the war is actually begun" The pretence OF The
Anti-Renters to submit TO law and order, was q
yase their part to u the citizens of Hudson in
to supineness, while they could perfect more eff
Gent organization.


Yesterday, Doctor Boughton was taken from his
quiet lodgings in the Hudson jail by writ OF habeas
corpus 10 appear before Russell G. Dorr, Supreme
Court Commissioner, in the town of Hlsdae,
about 20 miles distant from the city; he attend.
ed by Sheriff Miller, and posse of men in regi-
mentas. numbering from 30 to 40, under the com.
mand of Capt G. Yates Miller; he appeared very
downcast, and when passing through Smoky Hol-
low, which brought to his memory the scenes OF
more courageous days, he melted in tears. They
arrived al the place of destination at half past two,
when was enacted the funniest row my eyes ever
beheld Hillsdale seemed little hell; every living
Dutchman in the town of Saughtanie and Copake,
was there, the hotels and groggeries were jamm d.
crowded to suffocation. Sheriff Miller was greeted
with three groans, and then general melee ensu-
ed. The anti renters fought among themselves.
"Down with the rent" cries one, cup with IT,"
says another; and smash, crack it went, over wa
gon and sleighs, through the mud and snow. Now
and then could be heard the stentorian voice OF
Sheriff Miller, exclaiming /" what in Gods name do
you blame mefor am doing my duty" together
with other discordantl sounds, such as Green's"
"Pil do you brown,' hurrah for hell -" murder,
murder, let me up" "go it, old boy" " dunder
and bxum," "we ben va" " slaun name nut"
"how up" "who be youl" and other billingsgate
slang not decent to mention.


The fight at last subsidized and sheriff Miller made
his appearance with his eyes most beautifully
dressed in mourning; he hadlbeen the target of the
Copake oafers, who put the drop sockets" as
they term their blows, into his face without stint
or mercy. Wien the fight was in progress Big
Thunder was taken before Commissioner Dorr,
and admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000 to appear
at the sitting of the Special Oyer, in Hudson. The
District Attorney was threatened with death If he
opened his mouth. Peter Shaver and VIM. A
Stickles became his bail, he was instanter taken
to Sand Lake, escorted by delegation of igno-
rant Dutchmen, from the towns of Copake and
Saughtanie, who sang, in very tauptng man.
mer, the Niger melody, " Good bye, John;'' en-
deavoriAg thereby to enrage Sheriff Miller.


1t is concluded here that the only cure for the
anti-rent fever, is the boiler-punchlng and neck
stretching process More troops are needed i'm
