Nearly four years ago the Minnesota Weekly
Times came before the public, and from that
Period to the present it has Decn battling for
the cause of freedom and the rights of man.
regardless of the ties of party or the sneers and
jibes of partizan leaders, BY pursuing con-
sstent and straightforward career, by persist
cnt devotion to principles, it has won its way
to public favor, and notwithstanding it is the
youngest of the city press, it has attained
very large and rapidly increasing circulation.
This has been accomplished. not by system
of self-laudation, but by the spontaneous pat
ronage of its friends throughout Minnesota and
the Eastern States.
The Times has ever advocated. and will con-
tinue to advocate the cause OF the people, and
in doing so it has advocated the cause of the
great Republican party whose principles it has
warmly espoused and will defend to the best
of its ability. 1t never has and never will part
der to the vices of the vicious and never finch
es from graphing with error wherever it exists,

wrong in just appreciation of the wants of
the honest settler, to whom home should be
guaranteed by Congress, and in the develop
ment of all those resources which are caleulat-
ed to place us first among the States of this
great confederacy.
Many new features will be added to the
TIMES in the course of the year 1858. We shall
spare no pains to procure the latest and most
reliable news both at home and from abroad

Ex-Gov. johnson Attacked by = High
WaYman.

Last Saturday night, about half past seven
o'clock, whilst Ex-Gov. johnson was descending
the Trinity Mountain, some five miles on this
side of Lowden's ranch, he met with an adyen-
ture which came well nigh proving fatal to him.
The Governor, who has been attending the pre-
sent term of our District Court, started from
Eere alone late in the afternoon, on horseback,
designing to reach Weaverville that night. AT
the point before mentioned he was suddenly ac-
costed by person on the side of the road lit
tie in advance, with the cry of Stop" Gov.
Johnson partially checked the speed of his
horse and replied, "What do you want y at the
same time attempting to draw his revolver from
the holster in the front of his saddle. Again
was repeated the cry of Stopl" from the same
direction, and at the same instant man sprang
farward as if to grasp the bride rein. By a
sudden movement of the horse forward and to-
wards the opposite side of the road, this design
was frustrated, but almost simultaneous with
this, the man, with pistol close to the Cover
nor discharged a shot which, passing through
his coat, left four distinct marks of the ball
through its folds. Until this, so sudden had
been the warming and the pistol hanging" in
the holster, he could not bring it to "bear" un-
tlesfter the highwayman had fired, and then
h his position, and the difficulty of discern
N2gs IAN object, even but a few feet distant, from
the darkness, he supposes that the three shots he
discharged at his assailant proved Intellectual
He hut alfb rbe a
search early the next morning at the place where
the attack occurred, plainly indicated the tracks
of two persons-one evidently from the foot.
prints in the road, man of large proportions
whilst the other was much smaller, and wearing
slippers or moccasins The tracks continued
along the road some few rods, and leaving it
they could not be traced any further The only
explanation which can be afforded for the attack
is an attempt to commit highway robbery, and
to accomplish that the villains were willing tt
commit the graver offence of murder. Governor
johnson has been in the habit of leaving here
for his mill and ditch some forty miles from
here, every Saturday, and returning on Sunday
generally travelling, both going and returning
the greater part of the distance, at night Hav.
ing large number of men iu his employment
it was supposed doubtless, by some persons who
had observed his movements, that he carried
with him on these occasions a considerable
amount of money, which they doubtless intend
ed to appropriate by these means. The place
chosen for this attack is most admirably adapted
for such purpose. In addition to the darkness
of the night naturally occurring at that time,
there is dense forest on either side of the road
with the projecting peaks and cliffs of the noun
tain nigh at hand, affording ample opportunity
for escaping observation and pursuit As it re-
suited, the Governor has ample cause for con-
graduation at his narrow escape.
