A MINSTREL WOUNDED AT Los ANGELES

A MINSTREL WOUNDED AT Los ANGELES.
We are informed that man known as
Bob Francis. belonging to Frank Hussey's
Minstrels,V was wounded recently at Los
Angeles so desperately as to make his re-.
covery very doubtful. The following is
given as the particulars of the affair Fran.
els. year or two ago. married girl in
Los Angeles. but afterwards neglected and
finally deserted her. The girl went back
to her parents. Recently he returned, and
desired TO renew his relations with her. Sne
refnsed to have anything 20 do with him.
After repeated endeavors to win her over.
he finally tried to intimidate her. and draw
ing pistol swOre be would kill her, at the
same time discharging his weapon at or
near her. The woman swOoned from fright.
and at that moment her father. named Pick.
EFT. ran In. Trouble began Immediately be-
tween the two men. F. threatened the 9th
er with bis pistol. when Pickett seized a
loaded mnsket standing in the room. and
discharged it at his adversary. breaking his
arm. He then closed with him, and thrust
the bayOnet attached TO the musket through
his bOdy-leaving him apparently in dy.
ing condition The pOpuler verdict seemed
TO he that Francis has been served right.
and no proceedings had been commenced
against Pickett. Francis was alive, but his
case was considered hopeless at last ac-
counts.-[Bulletin.

GG Tories Arrested.

We learn from passenger from Memphis,

GREEN, of Savannah, in Hardin county, who
has been a warm adherent of the Union, aud
made violent speeches in the late canvass,
going so far as to publicly advise the hang
ing of the Representative from that county
and McNairy who voted for the Ordinance OF
Independence, left Savannah night before
last with five of his companions and friends
for the Lincoln camp at Cairo. They were
on board a steamboat, and carried with them
the Union flag. and expressed their resolve to
die under 1t. On reaching Perryville three
of the party were arrested and taken ashore.
At Bowman's Landing, in Benton county,
GREEN, the leader, and his other two friends,
Howard and CALDWELL, were arrested-the
evidence against them taken down and GER
tilted by competent autbority-and it and

Hon Andrew johnson.

We learn from the Knoxville Regiar that
Hon. ANDREW JOHNSON left Greenevllle on
the 18th inst, in buggy With an escort, on
his way North uia Cumberland Gap.
In regard to his trip to Cumberland Gap
the Register says
We have reliable intelligence from the re-
creant Senator of Tennessee. and Can an
nounce that be safely reached kentucky,
through Cumberland Gap, in that covered
buqgy. His escort have returned to Greene
Vile and have reported that johnson and
they were fired upon at Cumberland Gap, by
Secrssionists Their story is as ridiculous as
FaIlstaff's account of his encounter with the
men in buckram in the road near Gadshlll.
We have the particulars from gentleman
directly from the scene, and mark how plain
a tale shall put them DOWN. On Friday
morning g party of ladies and gentlemen,
from POwell's Valley, Lee county, Va, were
on loving a picnic on the Pinnacle, roman
.;c nIace of resort, within a few hundred
wards of the road through Cumberland Gap.
iTba Ladies had carried a secession flag with
them. WHICH the party planted upyn the Pin
naele. and saluted with cheer and a lew
nistoI shots, wholly unconscious that the
great fugitive was g. en- passing along the road
beneath. or of the fright which the slght OF
their nag anu tne iePO-N
u;stoIs occasioned him and his party. NO
doubt The Northern papers Will TEEN viii
sensation articles of the attempt TO assassl-
nate Lincoln's noble friend at Cumberland
GAP, and the boys and girls OF Powells Val
lev will be surprised TO find their picnic
magnifed into so bloody and atroclous
plot.
We have also confirmation from gentle
mai who heard him, that johnson made
speech to his friends in Tazewell, in which he
el-bortrd them 10 stand firm-that East Ten
ness ee had voted against going out by 2O,-
OOu. t,hai her resources were equal to those OF
several o. the States of the Union; that her
ybIts nopI1ation exceeded that Of South
Carolina: thar she had as many Representa-
tives in Congress a. California; that If there
was any effort to drsg them out OF the Union,
the Convention at Gl,eenevllie was eompe
tent 10 organize q State Government and
put il into practical and successful operation
in ten days; and that his present mission was
to the place where they could cocnoentiy
look for abundant assistance, in arms snu
men, to maintain and protect them in tne
overwhelmingly the Congress OF the
United States
From this il would appear that Mr.. John
son is very reluctant to relinquish bis seat IN
the u. S. Senate--quite as reluctant as he
was won't TO represent Mr.. Bell TO be in bis
speechrs during the last canvass. He is pro
baby also reluctant TO relinquish the two

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Late last night
Gen. Scott received the following dispatch !:
/ left camp according TO instructions, with
the First Ohio Regiment, 66S strong, and
went on an expedition to Falls Church to
patrol the woods in that direction. | then
proceeded to Vienna with four companies
Company E, Capt. Paddock, Company G,
Lieut.. Woodward, and was afterwards Joined
by Capt Pearoe, Company G. Captain Bailey,
Company 81, and Capt. Hazlett-totsl 275.
On turning the curve within quarter oil
mile from Vienna. We were fired upon by
raking masked batteries of, think, three
guns, with shell, round shot, and grape, kill
ing snd wounding the men on the platform
of one of the cars.
When the train stopped could not on &C
count of damage to some part of the rum
ming machinery draw the train out of the
fire, the engine being in the rear. We left
the cars and retired to the left of the woods.
Finding that the enemy's batteries were
sustained by what appeared to be regiment
of infantry and cavalry, which force we have
ans, we fell back along the Railroad, throw
ing out skirmishers on both TANKS.
This was about P. N. Then we retired
slowly bearing of our wounded for five
miles, to the Point, which we reached at 10
O'Clock. The following 10 q list OF the casu-
alities: In Capt. Hazlett's Company H., two
are known to be killed three wounded and
five missing.
Capt. Bailey's Company G, three killed,
two wounded and five missing. Capt. Pad
docks company E, one officer slightly
wounded. Company G, Capt. Pearce, two
missing The engineer, when the men left
the cars, instead of retiring slowly as order.
ed, detached his engine with one passenger
car from the rest of the disabled train, and
abandoned as, running to Alexandria, and
we have heard nothing of him since. Thus
we we're deprived of rallying point and OF
all means of conveying the wounded, who
had TO be carried on litters and blankets.
We wait here holding the road for reinforce
ments- The enemy did not pursue as.
have ascertained that the enemy's force
at Fairfax Court House, four miles from vi.
emma, is now about 1000. When all the enc.
my's batteries opened upon us, Major Hughes
was at his station on the foremost platform
car, Col. McCook was with me In one Of the
passenger cars. Both of these of1cers and

The Evacuation of Harper's Ferry.

From information received here il may be
safely stated that, on Friday night or Safur-
dsy morning. GEN Johnston withdrew from

CleIIan, who Is thresfening him, from the d.

of an important engagement in the vicinity
OF RDmney.

approaching Harper Ferry from the Mary

probably be kept in check By the batteries on
tn Virginia heights.
The bridges at Harper's Ferry were de-
s,royed by our forces, also the public build

removed. except q small quantity OF corn
which was destroyed.

Commenting upon this movement, the
Enquirer says:
TIE necessity for the reliDquishment OF
this detached post, where so many OF our men
were restricted within such narrow limits as
to be utterly unavailable for important ope-
rations in the field. may not, at the first an-
nouneement, be apparent to those who have
