1scbift!aioJolt;nA FURTHER WRONG.It being feared by some that a further attack upon the Democrat office might bo made on Monday night, as several soldiers were to be in town to start for their Regiment on Tuosday , ^ morning, the Democrats gathered up a. force and watched during the night.— jj JSo disturbance was contemplated, as j some of tho soldiers informed us on j ^ Monday. Together with other citizens j ^ wo spoke of the matter to the boys, and i ^ told them that the oitizens would all1 disapprove of any act of the kinu.In the morning, however, the boys, after they bad started off in the hack for Sun man, passed Mr. Robeson, who was on his way home with his gun on his shoulder, when one of them accosted him and demanded to know what he was doing with his gun. He informed them that ho had been guarding the Democrat office. The one accosting him, probably, got out of the hack for the purpose of taking the gun away from him. There was, however, but little difficulty, one of the boys taking him by the collar, but doing little further.The boys soon went on, and Mr. eson came back to town and got warrant for the arrest of the offe Tho officer and posse started in pursuit, but the soldiers had crossed the line into the State of Ripley County before being overtaken, and the officer concluded that he could not intrude on foreign soil. So the matter ended there.The citizens all regret this occurrence, and condemn the soldier for the act, and would have approved of the proper punishment being inflicted had he been caught. Mr. R. was civil’, xtnd bo were all who guarded tho office on Monday night, as far as we know.C(aiq1ttRt*iTtlitsctctl0itbisfchtlt;hoko:rrnrt lviociniin a m nAnm iitt i An?I
