the Southern coasts. His mercenary armies
are ready to murder our Southern brethren
Our longer inaction involves us in the guilt Of
this atrocious conspiracy against constitution

the very existence of Southern society
Arouse, then, from your lethargy. Arm for

ARREST AND DISCHARGE OF PRoF. ANDERSON,
THE MAGIcIAN-4ssauH upon His Iccuser.-
Prot. Anderson, the magician, who is giving
exhibitions in Albany, was arrested at Troy, a
few days since, charged with committing an
outrage upon girl of fourteen--an apple ven
der. He was arrested without authority, by
Constable McMulkin, and taken into custody
Tho story was started by 4 barber in Rand $
Hall. The trial took place in the afternoon
and the magician and the girl tes titled apart.
She told her story-ha wing had no interview
whatever with Prot. Anderson meantime-sub-
stantially to the effect that she visited Rand,s $
Hall to sell her trinkets; she went up in to
Prot. a. 8 room and req quested him to purchase
some OF the articles, which he declined doing
She remained some time in his presence w hen
he asked her what she wanted. She then took
out subscription paper, which she was cir
culating for the purpose of raising money to
buy her sewing machine, and asked him to
eubSSA'pO' AhtS Aic uiti, give HeT Il uOIidT
when she went away. The Professor in his
conversation apart from the girl detailed the
circumstances of their interview ideltically
the same she had done, and the barber who
alleged the charge, and the Cons table who
was so oticiOus in arres ting Mr. Anderson
being unable TO state more than general allie
cations, Justice Landon promptly dismiss sed
the Wizard, and iutimated to him the right
he possessed of causing the arrest of the officer
on charge of false Imprisonment. Professor
Anderson afterwards met the barber who lad
caused his arrest, and displayed his magic
around the barber's face and eyes, giving him
an unmerciful but not undeseryed beafing. r
