AssAuLT-An omnibus driver named Moses w.
Garrison, was brought before his Honor yesterday
ON the charge of assaulting hackHan named
George, slave to Jacob Woodson, on the eth of
April last. 1t appeared from the evidence, that the
hickman was driving carriage containing three
ladies and gentleman, down Main street. and I'm.
dertook to pass one CT MAYORS omnibuses, driven
by Garrison. Garrison locked the hack twice,
however, and when George finally succeeded in
getting by him, struck him In passing, severe
blow over the head with his whip.
The Mayor stated to Garrison that he should fine
him S. and coste for violating city ordinance with
respect to driving-as the law provided that We
hcle ahead should be turned to the right whenever
vehicle behind wished to pass, thus giving the
left of the road to the behind. The act of pre-.
venting vehicle from passing by locking it, was
also equivalent to an assault and battery. The
striking of the negro was also violation of the
law. He should therefore require payment of the
fine, and $500 security to answer indictment for
misdemeanor before the Grand Jury on Monday
next. The security had not been given when our
reporter left court.

EDITORS class of the community
stands very high here just at this time, but it
seems to be at a discount in Petersburg. Our
friends Syme and Crutchfeld both appear to
have been Waterlooed in the late municipal
elections, the first receiving ninety votes, and
the last sixty. Instead of turning upon the
Petersburgers, who have manifested so little
taste, they vent their chagrin upon us, as we
have seen little boys hurt themselves, and then
beat their companions because they laughed
at them. SNOW, as we had nothing to do with
their misfortunes, we tn ink this is little hard.
Our friend of the Express need not hope, how>
ever, to get his revenge out of US in the way
he anticipates. We shall not risk our necks

MRS. STOWE.

We have great curiosity to know in what
manner Mrs. Stowe will dispose of the tlOOO
presented to her for the purpose of promot'
ing abolition in this country. The difficulty
will lie in selecting the choice of methods IN
which to employ il, and therein we doubt not
she will have many advisers. One person may
think that it should be laid out in the purchase
of "Uncle Toms" from the cruel Legrees of
the South. Another may advise the invest
ment of it in Greeley's under ground railroad.
A third may be in favor of employing it to feed
and clothe some of the fugitiyes who are dying
of hunger and cold in the northern cities. A
fourth NAV suggest the establishment of an
abolition press, Harriet and Mrs. Swisshelm
| to be Joint addresses. A fifth will certainly
recommend abolition pamphlets, to stir up the
negroes and convert the whites.
