EVANSVILLE, April LIST, 1858.

Mr. Eaitor:--Sir: ii the Journal OF
Wednesday I see statement of the trial
Of the Marshal for an assault and bat
terry, which I beg leave to say is q false
statement and a Misrepresentation OF
facts. The writer of the article spoken
Of, states that according to the testimo-
ny in the case this man (Humerson) was
engaged in the riot.
Now it was positively proven that he
was not. The testimony given in the
case was as follows: One witness
whose name 1 have forgotten testifies
that Mr.. Humerson and myself were
walking out, not far from the place when
the disturbance commenced. Hearing
the noise TREY both walked over to the
house and seeing it full Of men they
went in and Mr.. Humerson sat down on
the side of bed and was looking at
what was going on.
The Mayor testifies that he went into
the house and said the house must be
cleared and laid his hand on this man and
ordered him to leave the house, he (not
knowing the man to be an officer) replied
he would leave when he got ready.
Being ordered the second time to leave,
he did so. He also testifies that when,
the Marshal come up he told him that he
had been grossly insu!ted by young
man and he wanted to have him arrest
ed, and pointing him out in the crowd
the Marshal arrested him.
The Deputy Marshal testifies that he
stepped up on the other side and took
hold Of him. When they had gone
few steps from the house Humersor
halted little and said not to be in too
big a hurry. Martin then ordered hin
to take his hands out of his pockets; h,
not doing so Immediately Martin stepped
back and struck him over the head will
his cane.
According to the first witness tn
man was not guilty Of any offence, ant
according to the testimony Of the dcfen
dant's own witness the Mayor had hin
arrested for no other fault than pre-
tended insult to him, and that the Mar
: sbal struck him for no other reaso
than that he refused to take his hand
6 out of his pocket. 1t was not anythin
else than cowardly assault, both on tn
part of the Mayor and Marshal on tn
person of stranger and an unoff.ndin
man, a thing that should not be cour
, tenanced in any civil country.
Mr.. Humerson is almost an entir
stranger in this place. Since he cam
i, here he has been employed as miller j
the Canal Mills, and has proven himse
: to be an honest, Industrious and peacea
BILE man. That be has been grossly il
suited and misstreated is plain fact
all acquainted with him and the facts ,
] the case. FRIEND TO JUSTICE.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March Goth 1853.
The Intelligencer of this city, in a
leader Of column and a quarter, this
morning, advocates the admission Of
Kansas, under the Lecompton Constitu-
ton, subject to ratification by the peo-
pie that is, under the Crittenden sub
stitute, which will probably be also in
troduced into the House when the SEN
ate bill comes up finally before that body.
The U. S. Military uniform is soon to
undergo general change, in accordance
with the recommendation Of board o.
examiners appointed for that purpose.
Preparations are now being made at
the Navy Yard here, for the construction
of the boilers and other machinery for
one of the new government war sloops.
Nevertheless, considerable numbers of
hands are daily being discharged from
some Of the apartments Of the Yard, for
lack of something to do. The present
force of mechanics in the Yard, is about
six hundred.
Firemen's riots, and rows in general.
now prevail in this city. to an alarming
extent. During o collision between the
Northern Liberties and Good Will (for-
merly States Hose) fire companies, the
other evening, it IS said that over hun.
dred and fifty gun and pistol shots were
fired. Several persons were dangerously
wounded, but none killed, it is believed.
One young man, who was not partici
pant, but happened unfortunately to gel
between the two fires while innocently
passing, received seren balls in his per.
son, and now lies in very critical con-
dititon.
The daily union prayer meetings here
are numerously misunderstanding on
siderable throngs Of both sexes, especially
the ladies. The clergy hint at the ap.
proach Of the Millennium" and nantes
an ambition to storm the American
Capitol with the artillery of the Lord
and send the representatives of tn,
American people back to their constitu
ents, as preachers of the gospel"

Brutal Outrage in Warrick County.
81 so Reward for the Arrest ofthe Perpe.

si'v "e"sro lot , snS Affess o''ne Te'p''
A correspondent writing from Tay-
louisville, Warrick county, gives us the
particulars Of fiendish outrage perpe-
trated in the vicinity Of that place last
week. Andrew Spradley, man about
twenty years Of age, persuaded young
lady living near Taylorsville to elope
with him, under promise Of marriage at
the first convenient point. The man
having enticed her from her fathers
house, led her into the woods near by,
where he was joined by three others,
Loard Spradley. Robert Marshall. and J.
II. Robinson, all married men. The
four villains then violated the person OF
the girl, aad left her, where she was az
forwards found in critical state. The
life Of the unfortunate woman was for a
time despaired Of but she is now slowly
recovering. The villains left the neigh.
borhood Immediately and have not yet
been apprehended. We have never, as
journalists, been called upon to chronicle
a more brutal or fiendish crime than
this. The people in the vicinity Of Tay
louisville, have offered reward of $l5C
for the apprehension Of these men. Be-
low we give a description Of them, and
hope that every paper in the State will
publish this statement. If there is any
punishment too severe for this outrage
we know not what it is, and it will bt
passing strange if they are not detected
We understand that there is q settled
determination, upon the part of larg'
majority of the citizens of Taylorsville
to hang the wretches if they are eve
brought back. If Lynch Law is eve
excusable, it certainly should be in thi
Instance. The following is the
DESCRIPTION OF THE FUGlTIvEs.
ANDREW SPRADLEY, single man, age
about twenty years, me 1ium size, blac
hair and dark skin.
LoARD SPRADLEY, married mar
aged about twenty-five years, medium
size, heavy set, would weigh about IL
pounds, dark skin, black hair and whisk
ers, and has one Of his thumbs shot Of
ROBERT MARSHALL, married maj
rather tall but slender and delicate, dar
skin, and about twenty-eight years
age.
j. Ii. ROBINSON, a married man, abor
nineteen years Of age, black hair, ia

1t is thought by many that these me
are in this city. We hope that ever
officer will be vigilant in his search f
them, and in addition to the rewaI
offered by the citizens of Taylorsvlll
they will receive, if successful, the thanh
Of every law>abiding citizen.
