diers completely riddled the Herald Office which
had Just been fitted up after similar demolition
few weeks previous These men had no ac-
quaintanee a, Frankin-they knew nothing Of
themselves about the Herald Office. hence ii is
fair to infer they were melted to this outrage by
some of its political enemies in that place.

the conduct of the regiment. he inquired of one
OF its officers if any officers or men were sober.
The officer replied that few OF them were. He
then gave orders for the doors TO be locked.

instructions to shoot down all who offered any
act of INSTRUMENTATION. In addition, he ordered
the regiment TO be placed under arrest upon its
arrival at Louisville Such the facts in the
case as represented TO W.. aud our only regret IS
to chronicle any act of lawlessness upon the par,
of those whose first duty it is to maintain law
and order
