Yesterday afternoon, our hitherto quiet
city was thrown into an unprecedented stale
OF excitement, in consequence Of the brutal
attempt OF two returned volunteers to com
nit a rape upon the person ofa little girl on Y
l2 years of age.
Upon information bein given to the Grim
inaI Court. which was IN session, bench
warrant was issued, and the two persons
taken by the officers, and brought into Court.
By tho time the arrest was made, the excited
and maddcned father had collected an infu-
rated mob, which he headed, who repaired
to the court room, and but fer the interfer-
cnre of the officers of the Court. and police
force called in, would have taken The plIso.

room.

placed in the hands OF the Sheriff. that Off
Ger fearing that an attempt would be made
to get possession of IIe cu pris, had them
conveyed out OF back windnw to the jail.

lv in jail, and the disappointment of the mob
who were in front %; he court room, only
exaSpcraed them to ness. They re-
paired to the front Of the Jail, where they
commenced demolshing the walls, and
would have succeeded in breaking in and
securing the frightened culprIls. but the off
