ASSAULT ON. THE PRESIDENT.

A gentleman Just arrived from Alexandria
gives the following account of an atrocious ats
tack upon the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, as he was yesterday morning on his
way to Fredericksburg, where he had been
invited to lay the Corner Stone of Monu-
men. about to bee erected to the MOTHER OF
WASHINGTON:
"The steamboat Sydney, in which the Pre-,
sident and several members of the Cabinet
accompanied by many other gentlemen, were
going to Fredericksburg, stopped on her way
for a few minutes at Alexandria-Manv per,
sons from the wharf came on board, and among
ahem Randolph, late Lieutenant in the NAVY.
Ale made his way into the Cabin, where the
President was sitting reading newspaper, and
advancing towards him, as if to address him.
began to draw off his gloves The President
not knowing him, and supposing it was some
person about to salute him, and seeing him at
some difficulty in getting off his glove, stretch
ed out his hand towards him, saying, never
mind your glove, Sir Randolph, having then
dlsengaged himself from his gloves, thrust one
hand violently into the Presidents face, and
before he could make use of the other, received
blow from gentleman standing near with
an umbrella. Almost at the same time, two
other gentlemen in the cabin sprung upon him
and he was pulled back and thrown down -
he moment he was assaulted, the President
seized his cane, which was lying near him on
the table, and was forcing his wav through the
gentlemen who had now crowded round Ran
dolph, insisting that no man should stand be-
tween him and the villain who had insulted
him: that he would chastise him himself. Ran,
dolph, by this time, had been borne towards
the door of the cabin, and pushed through it to
the deck. He made his way through the crowd
to the deck and the wharf, being assisted as is
believed, by some rufIian conlederates, and
made his escape. He stopped beyond for a
few minutes at tavern, in Alexandria, and
passed the District line The Grand Jury,
then in session, in few minutes found pre-,
sentiment against him, and the Court issued a
Bench Warrant. Magistrate had Just pre-
vlously issued Warrant; but before the off,
GERS could arrest him, he was gone
The cause of this outrage is supposed to be
the performance of sacred duty by the Presi-
dent, who had ordered the name of Randolph
to be struck from the rolls of the Navy for a
pecunlary dedication and for other miscon-
duct.-Globe.
