CowARDLY ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION
At late hour Friday night, some coward
" villain shot into the saloon occupied by
Peter Loucks, and Immediately ran away.
Several persons were in the room when the
window was broken by the ball, but fortu
nately nobody was injured. The person
who will shoot recklessly into room filled
with people for the purpose Of revenging
himself upon a single enemy, is rife for any
deed, however black. We hope the perpe-
traitor of this fiendish attempt to murder will
be arrested and punished to the fullest extent
of the law. III. aE 4.. u O.

Late arrivals from Helena report all
quiet. Our pickets stationed back in the
country are continually troubled by strag-

ton down the river had taken and bro'l
10 Helena wharf boats from EuniCe and
Napoleon. Prisoners captured say a large
number of Texan troops, newly armed
and equipped, had arrived at Little Rock
a few days before.
1t was reported at Helena that Gen.
Rosecrans had made an attack upon the
C~onfederates at Tupelo, and was deci-
siveIy repulsed.
The people of Commerce, Miss, have
determined to prevent the guerrlllas from
firing on boats passing that place.

He says there was evidently a movement

be about 10000 strong. He says three
regiments of infantry, one Of cavalry,
eighteen cannon and a large number of
wagons are at Boonsbcro'. The soldiers
looked ragged, shoeless and halleSs. A
skirmish had occurred between the Mich

POpe'S Official Report.
ACINCINnATr Sent

sCINcINnATI, Sept. 10.
Pope's official repart of the movement:
of the army in Virginia, from the time il
left Washington until it returned, pub.
lished this afternoon, attributes the whole
disaster to the failure of the army of the
Potomac to cooperate when he was on
the Rappahannock. He presumed the
army of the Potomac would protect thai
section between him and Washington,
and its failure to do so caused him to be
completely aanked. By turning upon the
enemy from the Rappahannock he could
have had him completely defeated, had
not Fitz John Porter drawn off his corps
contrary TO written orders, and refused to
take part in the centest while the enemy
was marching reinforcements past him
He also censures Gen. Griffin for with
holding his command from the contes!
while the battle was raging. He accuses
Mcclellan of refusing to supply him with
forage when his horses had been without;
food for two days, although he had tele-
graphed and written urgently requesting
supplies to be sent. :
