A Brutal ASSAULT iron ONE or OUR CITIZENS
On Saturday last, Mr.. Walter Warder. resident OF
this city, visited Alexandra, and in the afternoon
walked cut beyond the limits Of the city, in the d.
rectior Of the proposed Washington and Alexan-
dria Railroad TO see what progress had been
made on that work Before he arrived at the
place, however, he noticed two men who we're
few rods ahead, when he first saw them. As he
was about TO pass, one of them invited him to be
seated on some tiles by the road side, and said
that he and the other man. who was reclining on
the ground in the shade, were going TO fight, and
he thought he could whip him. Mr.. w. then, for
the first time suspected their object and attempt
ed to pass along, making some jesting remark at
the time. The men insisted upon his stopping
and seein, the fight as he pretended, then stepped
of q few PAGES, looking up and down the road,
evidently to see If any person was approaching
No one being In sight, one Of them walked up
deliberately and struck Mr.. Warder a powerful
blow in the left eye, which partially stunned him.
Their object was then clearly apparent, and re-
gardess Of the consequence, Mr.. w. raised his
cane and dealt blow TO the man In 'front.' and at
tempted another, but bis cane was wrenched from
him, and with IL or some other weapon Of the az
gressors, he was knocked to the ground senseless
How long he remained there he knows not, but re-
vived several hours after the murderous assault
was perpetrated, and found himself in the care Of
some gentlemen who had removed him from the
spot.
This assault was committed by two athletic men,
one an Irishman, and no doubt for the purpose Of
robbery, but s nothing valuable was upon the
person Of the gentleman assaled, no booty was de-
rived by the assailants for their iendish attack.
The police Of Alexandra should make some ef
forts TO ferret out the perpetrators Of this outrage

This old adage is very emphatically verified
in the leading article Of the Pioneer Of yester-
day. Speaking of the Tines favoriteior Del
epate to Congress, the Pioneer, unauthorized
". attempts to bring the Minnesotian into o
false position in this wise: -
"Bnt Mr. Marshall is not yet the nominee Of
the Republicans. A trifiing ceremony has to
be performed, duly and truly. before he can be
properly made the subject of political inquisi-
ton. There are many in the ranks of his own
party who will so bitterly oppose him, that
his success is by no means sure. He will be de,
feated if the good will and earnest efforts OF
the Minnesotian can accomplish it, for, accord
ing to our Judgment. he does not serve It's turn
1t has other irons in the fire."
The Pioneer had better attend to its own hight
in its own party, and leave it's political oppo-
nents to work out their ends as they may
choose. They are abundantly able to arrange
all matters of minor difference in the ranks Of
their party. which is more than can lie said o
the bogus Democracy just at this time. Let

stand either under the broad panoply of Free

Therefore resolved, That for the time being
we lay aside all former distinctions, political
party names and other party issues as of minor
consequence, and as Republicans we enrol our.
