Louisville atrocities would have exercised least for
brief space of time some restraint upon the murderous
propenstes Of knownothngis the brutality Of the
order would have been confined TO the knocking down OF
persons Of opposite political sentiments and that the
ton unproyoked sacrifice Of human life would not be deem
ed necessary for the urherance Of their aiorous objects
In this we have been mistaken will be from the
subjoined account of still another coidbooded murder
committed by armed gang of knownothngs in Balt-
