Inc German Turner'S and Citizens in

and aCOundcd ~
We learn by dispatches from Gin cinnati
tnat the German Turner'S of that city cross
ed the river to Covington, in Kentucky,
Yesterday. for the purpose of celebrating 9
the day. They resorted to place in the
rear OF the town, where they enjoyed their
>ports without molestation till the afternoon,
when, as they we're returning. difficulty
occurred between two boys, one German
and the other an American.
a Turner espoused the cause of the
German boy. and struck his American an
tagouist blow with sabre, which serious
ly injured him. The authorities of the
town having been apprised of the outrage,
attempted to arrest the offender, but his
companions resisted and would not allow
him to be taken The Marshals of the
town, Butts and Haven, with their posse,
were fred on by the Turner'S, and several
killed One of the Turner's, it is said, put
his musket to the back of one of the officers
and fred ball through him, killing him
instantly. All the Turner's we're armed
with sabres and muskets. the muskets being
loaded.
The officers and the citizens of the town
arrayed themselves along the river. and
would not allow the Turner's to cross back
to Cincinnati. The latter then marched to
Newport, a ncighboring town ON the Ken
tucky side of the river. where they fortified
themselves in the Turner'S Hall.
The widest exeitemen. prevailed among
the citizens of Coyington. who were thus
outraged and insulted by an organized band
of armed foreigners. and they had dispatch
ed 10 Gov. Nor EHEAD. for aid, requesting
the assistance of the United States troops
at Newport Barracks They were also get
ting cannon ready to attack the Turner's in
their stronghold.
The most frishtful doings are anticipated.
The Turner's refuse to give up the often
ders, and the authorities, backed by the
citizens. are determined to take them.
1t is said that there were twenty persons
killed and wounded in the conflict which
