occasion to go near to Lecompton a few
days ago. He was arrested several times,

THE ATTACK ON Mr.. BUELL. AT CINcIN-
NArI.-The Cincinnati papers give several
versions of the affair in which George P.
Buell., Esq, editor of the Democratic Re-
view, was stabbed in that city. A gentle
man, who was in company With Mr.. B. at
the time, furnishes the Commercial with the
following statement:
"a man, apparently crazy, was speaking
to a crowd OF men and boys from a pile OF
stone. Buell., good naturedly, assisted the
speaker in getting the attention of the crowd
and afterwards made speech. a man in
the crowd asked him, 'who ire your He
answered Il am an American The person
in the crowd frequently interrupted Buell.,
and finally went towards him, and got into
and alteration with him, upon some alleged
contradiction that he committee in his
speech. They came to blows and fought
through the crowd across the street, when
they separated. and Rrell was taken into
the Burnet House. and found to be stabbed
in two OF more places, the most serious be-
ing through the shoulder in:o the lung, In
his speech, Buell. was extremely 'fillibuster-
ish,' and irritated his opponent by what he
supposed tn be reflections upon Mr.. Buch-
anan."
Another witness of the affair informs the
Commercial that when he saw Mr.. Buell. he
was addressing the crowd, and was very
severe on abolitionists and Know Nothings,
and that the subject under discussion when
The fight commenced was Know Nothing
