MORGAN A. HEARD.


e4temp at assassination the House
of Representatives had adjourned yesterday, Mr.
Arnold, of Tennessee, being in advance of the
other members, was passing home; as he was de-
sounding the steps Of the terrace to the street west
of the capitol, he was assaulted by Morgan A.
Heard, who aimed blow at his head with large
stick Mr. Asnol lodged the blow, and imme-
diatelv struck the stick from his adversary 8
hands; whereupon Heard drewa large dueiling
pistol, cut down to about eight inches in the bar
rel, carrying an ounce ball, with the words "New
York; engraved on the barrel; and, after taking
deliberate aim, fired; the ball passing through the
sleeve of the right arm, just above the elbow, ran
aing up to the shoulder, carrying away the under
part of the coat and Shirt and laceiating the
Mr.. Arnold finding Heard armed with pistol,
followed up his blows with light sword cane un-
It'll the scabbard few off, and having several times
knocked him down, was in the attitude OF pier
icing him with the sword, when his arm was ar
rested hv General Duncan, Of Illinois. The
case presents remarkable inferposition Of Di-
vine Providence The House had just adjourn
led: there we're near an hundred members Of Con
Igress in the range Of the ball, which passed near
MIR. Tazcwcll's head, and yet MIR. Arnold was
the only person injured! The readers of the
Globe will reco1ect that this Major Heard is the
| individual, whoa few days since, published a bull
letin in the Globe, announcing his intention to as
sault MIR. Arnold for what he had said on the
floor of the House, relative to Houston."-1eI

yield ten bushels of wheat to the acre, will pro-

ct do not for an instant suppose that sach was
the object of the worthy men who originated

Notwithstanding it is impossible for me to see
any benefit that temperance could derive from
prohibiting alcohol in one shape, and allowing it
to be used in another, still do | give to all enga-
ged in the cause, the credit Of being actuated,
solely, by the best OF motives.
