Attempt al Aasas.tra aslon.

On Tuesday last our usaslsy quiet city became the scene of most unprecedented and outra- geous brutality.
 of the facts as they occurred. These details have been collected from the representations of neatly every disinterested witness of the sifair. With regard to the main features of the case there is striking uniformity in the opinions of all who wit messed 1t.
 While standing at the corner of the Anthony House. in this city. the editors of this paper were simultaneously attacked by Benj. F. Danley. the shenG of this county. C. c. Danley. auditor of State, William Dsnley, sseamboa. engineer, and Soloa Boriand. U. g. Senator
 The attack was made upon Mt. Whiseley by Benj. F. DanIey and c. c. DanleY, striking at him with heavy bludgeons both at the same instant. whiteIy fired pistol at fenj. F. Donkey without effect and, closing with him, succeeded in wrench ] ing from him his stick, and with it beat him to the ground; during this time c. c. Danleys was striking him hiieley) on the back part ofthe head with heavy cane. Whiteley. upon turning 10 ward of the blows of c. c. Danley, was shot in the right breast by pistol ball from B. F. Danley. ! In the meantime Mir. Reardon. who had taken go part in the afffay was seized from behind by Solon Boriand, twisted to the glound and disauned. Borland held him down and choked him, with a pistol presented at bis head, until pulled loose by Gordon N. Pesy. esY. As Mir. Reardon was being raised from the ground, William .Danley, coming up behind him, dealt him blow on the side of the head with e heavy stick, which left him ap parently lifeless. When this feat was accomplish ed the engineer and the Honorable Senator joined their companions, the Auditor and Sheriff. in ther murderous assault upon Mr. Whiteley, which was continued with. murderous ferocity until he fell. exhausted by the fcrceness of their attack and the wound he had received in the outset When the by-stsndets. shocked with the cow ardly inhumaniiy of the proceeding, sought to prevent the cold blooded murder of man, no longer capable of resistance, they were hurled aside by lorland. with pistol in hand, who con tinued even then to cry out to his contederates- < shoot him. kill him! kill him!p'
 It is due to Mfr. Whiteley to state that he only saved his life by most desperate resistance to the combined attack; that though assailed from every quarter, in iron, and from behind, by sticks knives and pistols, and defending himself under every disadvantage, (his right arm being rendered useless by the pistol ball) he never so far forgot himself as to strike Capt c. c. Danley, the crip- pie, though he had frequent opportunities to have felled him to the ground.
 Such are the facts in the case. They can be substantated by the testimony of numerous of our most respectable citizens, who were witnesses of the whole proceeding. We leave our readers to make their own comments.
