statement Of facts.
The only truths contained in the whole article are
these;--That they (the students) engaged in
''horn spree that they serenading Prof AIexan
DER and that great credit is due to Prof Gger and Pre
dent Mclean to quiet the rioters the attempt to arrest
others; the injuries received by the officers and the
sistanSe of the students Your correspondent speca

OF Professor Alexander's house, 'were assaulted by
