w,sHryeroS, saturday, Feb. %, 1861

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Feb. %, 1861.
Mr. Van Wyck had Just left the residence of Senator
King, on Capitol Hill and was passing down ~ the
north wing of the Capitol TO his lodgings, when
stout.built man came ny behind him, aud struck him
with bowc-kni in the breast the heart. The
knife penetrated the outside and inside coats passed
through folded copy of TIE Gfobe, and then nearly
through dick ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, both Of which
were in the breast pocket of his frock coat not quite
reaching the skin.
Sir. Van Wyck struck the man blow under the Jaw
which staggered him, when th. second ruian struck
blow at Mr.. Van Wyek with bowl knife, Which the
latter caught with his left haud, making terrible
cash across the palm. At the same time he Van
Wyck) knocked the fellow down with his right, and
Instantly drew revolver and shot the first ruhan,
who dropped AID was caught by bis friends.
The third ruiian knocked Mr. Van Wyck down with
his fist This blow together with the effect of the
he first received and especially from the profnse bleed
ing Of his hand weakened him very macb and observ-
ing that the rutans making haste to escape with
their wounded companioR, who appeared 10 nm quite
helpless, he sank himself almost exhausted upon inc
sidewalk, and did not lire agAln. But as soon as no
gathered sufficient strength be made ms way 70 DIS
hotel which he did not reach till after IL this morning.
He said very little about the affair except u one or
two confidential friends DR.. Lee, OF the House, who
dressed his wound and to the ponce IN the tnat
the parties might be discoveries but up to tonight no
trace of their whereabouts has been ascertalned.
Mr.. Van Wyck il qnile nervous this evening, and IL
snferng considerable pain from the wound IN his hand
but is in no serious danger. lUW s.
Mr. Van Wyck cannot account for this attack upon
him. unless IL has grown cut Of hs speech at the last
session. which created much excitement and discuss
sion because of its severity against the system of Say-
ery wherein he cited instances of slave burning. For
some time after its delivery he received letters threat
enng lis life. Outside OF ths, he has knowledge Of
having created the enemiiy Of any human being. He
is man WHO never visits gambling drinking saloons,
and while he is resolnte man when assailed, In his
daily walk he Ia very quiet and gentlemanly.
