LowELL.-1n our account OF the murder
Gus affair at Lowell yesterday, We gave
currency to the statement that the victim
Of the outrage was instantly killed. The
matter was so reported to as, pu, our in
formant was in error. The unfortunate
man, whose name il Folsom, is still alive,
but his condition is precariors, and whe-
Their he will recover in . matter OF uncer-
tainty. A gentleman of this city who was
at Folsom's house a few honrs alter the
occurrence transpired, gives the following
account of the matter: Folsom was in the
act of retiring for the night 1t was just at
dark and was sitting on the side Of the
bed when noise in an adjoining room at
tracted the attention Of his wife, who arose
and proceeded to the door leading to the
apartment 70 investigate the cause Of the
disturbance. AT the door she was con-
fronted by two men, armed with revolt
vers. They walked toward her husband
and asked him If his name was Folsom. at
the same time cooking their weapons. He
replied in the affirmative, and apprehend-
ing the desperate character of his visitors
sprang from the bed and dashed from the
room. his intention being to reach some
fire arms he had in another part Of the
house; but at the junctuYe Of his entering
the doorway one Of the villains fred. The
bail passed through his right arm into his
side. and lodged under the skin near tie
spine. They then robbed him OF mis- mon
ey. and going to his stables stole span Of
6ne mares and left.
As to who the assassins are of course il q
mystery. One was . tall, large man with
false whiskers, and tooped-shoulders; the
other was much smaller with nothing Pc
culiar in either form or feature. Mr.. Fol-
som is spoken Of a. q quiet, unotianding
citizen. and q man in good repate among
his neighbors. The attempt upon his life
it would seem, therefore, was not made be-
cause Of personal spite or hatred, bat for
the purpose Of robbing alone. He being q
powerful man, they no doubt shot him that
he might not give them trouble in their at
tempt to take bis money and horses. The
affair occurred about mile and half east
of Lowell, and seventeen miles from this
city. A more villainOus and high handed
crime it has seldom been our lot to chroni-
Gle, and il is to be hoped the perpetrators
Oft viii be brought to speedy justice. The
State seems to be filled with these marau-
ders, who have no regard for life, bn, plum
der and kill at will, and in too MANY in.
stances escape the clutches Of the law alto
gether, and 60 forth to enact new outraees
and new crimes. There il doubtless m
organization Of these robbers in this State
with their headquarters perhaps in Mis-
souri,. 1t 10 presumable that they are in
collision with the guerrilla bands that
menace the border, and have taken adyan-
tage OF the unsettled condition Of the coun-
try to ply their cut-throat trade, and rob
and murder our people. It is to be hoped
that the present state Of things will soon
change for the better, and these unscrupu-
lous villains be brought to speedy and
condjgn punishment.

then he would be compelled to use harsh
