Outrageous Assaut,

On Thursday night between eleven and
twelve o'clock, after the close Of the concert,
at Cromb's Hall, n crowd of half dozen men
were observed behaving In n very improper
manner towards several Of the female alter
dants IN the saloon. Two volunteer officers,
who were present. one nf them Lieut.. Col. Won
Gerber, of the Cameron rifles AID the other
the adjutaht of the same regiment and
one of the proprietors of the saloon, re
monstrating with the rowdies upon their con.
duct, took the females under their protection,
and proceeded to escort them to their homes.
They were followed by the scoundres for sew.
eral squares, who abused them roubdy for
their interference. When near the corner of
Ninth street, the rain commencing 10 fall. the
officers hailed hack which was passing, when
several of the ruff1ans came up, and declared
that they themselves wanted the hack tor their
own use, which the Others, desrous of avoiding
u quarrel, agreed to let them have, and re
sumed their walk down the avenue, but the
other party, instead of taking the hack, con.
tinued slowly to follow them When IN front
of the Perseverance, Engine House, seeing the
hack passing without any passengers, the ad-
jutant again hailed II aud tie two young ladies
were placed in IL. just 1T this moment, sew
eral of the party again made their appearance,
pulling both Of the ladies ont, whilst another
raised slung shot, and struck tho lieutenant
colonel, whose back was towards them, u viO.
lert blow on the back If thu head, causing him
to fall headlong over the step of the hack.
The rum ms then tuck t3 their heels and ran.
Tho " ,unded man, in AN insensible condition,
was taken I" the res dcnce of Mr.. Grupe, on
Pennsylvania avenue, near FOur-and-a.half
street, and Drs. May, Dove. and Hansman called
in to dress his wounds. Upon examination, il
WAS found that his skull had been fractured
pieces of his skull bone having been forced into
the head by the vlulcncs Of the blow. The
wounded man has been living in an insensible
condition ever since; aud yesterday evening
when we called to ascertain his condition, but
htte hopes were ente tanned of his recovery.
The regimental surgeon of the Cameron r nes
DR.. Schulz is now attending him. Three men
were arrested shortly after the occurrence on
suspicion of being the guilty parties, but were
discharged, one of the females accompany ing
the attacked party iesiiIyiag that they were
not the same men. Active eff 'rts are now be
ing made to ferret ont the perpetrators of this
outrage, who, 1t is said, can easily be ident
fed.
