\ UPOur readers are familiar with the vil-'
lanous and cowardly attack which was re-
Gently made by Edwin Forrest upon n p.
Willis, growing out of the unfortunate
difficulties between Mr.. Forrest and his
wife, and The part which Willis took in
behalf Of the wife. The course which
Forrest has seen fit to pursue, during the
last two years, both in regard to his pro-
fessional career and also in his domestic
affairs, has been ruffianly and vulgar in The
extreme ; he entirely disregards all law,
and when he thinks himself aggrieved, he
takes the law into his own hands, and seeks
for vengeance in his own chosen way
That Forrest is bully and blackguard,
no one can question: for his course has
been snch as to lead every one to this con-
clusion. No enc ever doubted but that he
was the main cause of the disgracelul riot
at the Astor Place Opera House, a year
ago, in consequence of his jealousy of
Macready. His subsequent abandonment
Of his wife, and his brutal treatment to her,
have all stamped him forever in the eslima-
tcn Of all decent persons.
Now he has thought proper to mako an
assassin's attack, with a dangerous wea-
pom, attended by his friends, upon Willis,
who was unarmeJ and unattended, and at
a time when Willis was not expecting
such an attack. We trust that the law will
he measured out to him TO its fullest extent,
and that he will be made feel that the law
will inevitably restrain him in his rowdy-
ism.

TIE PERT COUNTRY Girl IN AN
OMNIDUs.-Mr. Willis, in the Home
Jo"raal, relates the following incident
Let US tell little instance of cool
ness in one OF these country ladies
which we witnessed in an omnibus,
the other day. She was excessively
pretty, and in her mouth, (the dimples
at the corners of which were so deep,
and SO turned in like inverted commas,
that her lips looked like quotatlon)
she carried the fated sixpence, doomed
to pass from the warm bliss of that rosy
pressure to the cold change-box on
the top. Arriving opposite the Taber-
nacle, she palled the string, took the
piece Of silver from her mouth, and
gave it to young man sitting oppo-
site. He received it politely, but, as
the omnibus was minute or so i'll
coming to stand still, she had time to
observe that he admiringIy placed the
moist sixpence within his own lips, and
took less magnetized one from his
own pocket to throw away OH the drl-
yer. There was a suppressed smile
among the other passengers, but the
lady was not to be compllmented so
prom scousIy.-lll trouble you for my
sixpence, sir 7" she said holding out
her hand with its green I" init )" and
receiving the money between thumb
and finger, as she would take cock
roach from apot of marmalade, she
passed it up herself and looked round
rebukingly, as she went out, on those
of us who had had the impetlnence to
smile. Now, we commend this young
lady to the nominating committee OF
the "Ohio Convention for the Rights
of Woman" and, if she will send US
her name, we will see that IT is oppor-
tunely launched on some tenth wave
of the present rising flood of the SOW
eregnty of woman.

SAN DIEGo, April 20, 1850.
There has been terrible affair a. the
mouth Of the CHA. Some Americans
stopped there To ferry passengers, &c.
over The Rio Colorado. On last Tuesday,
the 2Slh, party OF four or five hundred
Indians attacked them about noon, and XII
lad eleven OF them. Three only made their
escape and came into town. There had
been fifteen or tweLty thousand Sonoreans
and others, who had been crossing the NV
er durlng the last three months, and the
ferry company had nearly seventy thou
sand doll irs. The Indians carried off the
money aud provisions and burned the hous-
es. There had been stories Of the extor-
,oa, &c, of the Americans at the ferry.
Since this affair we learn that the nJi-
ans conceive themselves to he at war with
US, and fear hat innocent rmgran,s may
suffer These Indians belong to faithiess
tribe. We had some difficulty with them
on our journey last year, but nothing more
serious happened than the loss of som' of
our cattle, which they stole and dro off.
We give the above, under pretty firm
belief however, that the story is partial and
exaggerated. There has probably been
provocation deserving of more particularly
of statemen, than the brief allusion Ia ''s,o-
rcs # extortion" made ty the ritter.
