MObbed bv Soldiers.

DAYTON, O., March ga party of Ia or
Is furloughed soldiers of Co. @, 44th Ohio
regiment went into the Empire Office at
noon to day. and completely riddled the
establishment After the work was done
the soldiers went to the Court House steps
and the leader made q speech in which he
took upon himself the whole responsibility
of the act. By this timo large crowd was
gathered and E. s. Young, Esq, and R. g..
Corwine made speeches, in order to allay
the excitement During the speech Of the
latter man in the crowd made an offensive
remark about the government protecting
the niggers, when the soldiers made rush
at him. In the melee dozen or more shots
were fired, resulting in the wounding of two
soldiers and in the death of a man named
Dan'l Carl from Tippecanoe, who was a
mere spectator. He was struck by ball
in the lungs and died in few moments
afterwards. He leaves large family to
mourn his loss.
Capt. Badger, of Co. y was arrested and
admitted to ball in the sum of $500. There

Army Movements.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Star says:
Gen. Custar has returned to this side Of
the RapidAn from his cavalry expedition,
having successfull6 accomplished the part
of the work which he started out to do He
harrassed the flank of Lees army greatly
and near Stanardsville surprized the rebel
camp which he burned and totally destroy
ed; captured number of prisoners and he
got possession of large number of horses.
The Gen. did not lose msn in the expe-
dition.
Nothing is officially known Of the where
adouts Of Fitzpatrick. 1t is said in we'll
informed circles that Monday he was in
Spottsylvania @. H., which, according to the
Gazette, is IS miles from Richmond.
|, An officer who has arrived here tonight
from the Army of the Potomsc reports that
when last heard from he was within IL
miles of Richmond. This may be mere
surmise as there is no communication by
which such fact could be ascertainsd.
Custar's movement was to deteive or to
draw off the attention Of the enemy while
Fitzpatrick journsyed in another direction.
The supposition is he got fair start with
no danger in his rear; he has had sufficient
time to resch Richmond if such was part
of the plan of operations.

The WASHINGTON (PA.) SHOOTING AT
FAIR.AA Coroner's examination was COM 2,
menced day before yesterday in Washing
ton. The evidence had not all been ref
ceived when the train left yesterday morn .
iuy. 1t is said the wound received by Mr..
Benjamin Porter will prove more serious ~ :.
than was at first supposed-ths ball having
lodged in the cap; of his right knee. The
boy M'Kahan will recover from his injury,
having received flesh wound in the 4 breast s t.
Benz. Brady, who rashly fred the revolver,
did no, leave the town as stated by usyes
terday He ran awayffom the scene Of the
conflict. but returned to his home during
the afternoon. Several soldiers fired their
pistols into the crowd, evidently intending
to shoot Brady. One ball grazed the back
OF Brady's head, leaving 2 slight mark.-
1t was thought the evidence would show
that Brady did not fire the charge which
killed Mr.. David Wolf. Some Of the Wit
nesses 6ere of opinion that one Of the sol
diers shot Wolf, while others stated that a
son os Mr.. Wolf was rushing into the fight
with cooked revolver, when the father
attempted to take the revolver from him; in
the scuffie the load was discharged and en-
tered the breast of the old gentleman. So
many reports were current in the town
that it was impossible to obtain any relia-
BILE Information. 1t was thought that the
decision of the coroner's jury would be rem.
dered yesterday afternoon. Some fifty
witnesses were summoned to appear be-
fore the jury, and over half the number
had been examined.

On his route to White House Fitzpatrick

large force of rebels. After he had left the
front another party Of 800 picked cavalry
we're sent out to communicate with him.
They however, met . rebel force and as
their orders were not to fight if it could be
avoided, they moved towards the east, and
the commander not striking the direct road
came upon party Of rebels near Froder-
icksburg, captured them, burnt their camp
