OF HARPER'S
GANG.


A Dispatch received In this city yeSter-
by the military authorities stated that night
before last, Harper, the guerrilla, and about
forty Of his gang, entered Bowling Green,
Ky. and delivered the prisoners confined In
jailthere. Among them were Mays add two
other guerrillaI OF Harper's band. These
prisoners were At Arst in the jail at franklin,
Tenn, and as fears were entertained that an
attempt might be made to rescue them 4
military guard was sent there from this city.
For some cause, to US unknown, MAye and
the two guerrillaS were lately sent to Bow
ling Green.
The dispatch stated that it is feared that
Harper would last night attempt to rescue
two of his Lieutenants at FRANKLIN.
1t was reported on the street last night
that Harper bad sacked Bowling Green, but
nothing to tina. effect was contained in the
dispatch received at headquarters.
The force at franklin is thought to be
sufficient to prevent any attempt that may be
made to force the jail there. .,...i.a
We doubt not the proper arrangements
will be made to capture Harper and the
gang Of desperadoes who follow his lead
and the sooner the better. Men who go arm
ed from one State to another, and defy the
laws of the land, ought to be ~summarily deal
with.-Pr@S 4 Tunes.

WHITE MASS BUREAU.-A White Mans
Bureau, il is rumored has been thought OF
By some of the "Copperheads" 10 Congress,
but Thaddeus Stevens thinks that it would
cost too much and neueft a very unworthy
class of persons. That settles the question.
Chat Union.
The above must have reference to that un-
fortunate class the " poor white trash" Of the
South who were lead ihto the rebellion.
Andy is pardoniOg the rich rebels, while the
poor enes are left to gotO the devil. Why par
don the leaders who brought death and ce-
struction upon the South, and allow the
common people, who were drawn into this
whirlpool by their " persuasive eloquence,"

and rebels, they can have that privilege, but
when that state Of thing0 takes place bnt one
people can live in peace together in this coNn'
try. Wherever they have the power they are
driving Union people away rom their homes,
and telling them not to return at the peril Of
their lives, and their rebel political Southern
preachers are all at the head of this BASTARD
ly conduct. II these rebels will attend to
their " legitimate business, and eyince a
Willingness to be Obedieht to the laws Of our
country, and will Occapy their proper status,
then the Union people will extend TO them all
the aid in their power, See we'll to it before
forbearauce ceases to be a virtue.

ALL HoSoR TO JUDGB 0ooPRR-Tt is said
that Judge Henry Cooper has ordered the
names Of all attorneys in his circuit, to be
stricken from the rolls, who pay any atten-
tion to the orders of Gen. Thomas In regard
prosecuting Union men. Good for Judge
Cooper
The above is a local item from the Herald
published at Lebanon Tennessee. What do
Jndge Cooper and the rebels of Middle Ten
nessee mean by opposing the orders of Gen.
Thomas ? Perhaps they would like to get
up another little rebellion. Should they
succeed in this, we hope Gen. Thomas will
marshal his forces and extinguish the last
cownrdly one of these rebellious agitators,
They had better wait until tho daath-damp
is OF the brow of the Union soldier ere
they talk Of opposing the hero who has
laid there treason low. This kind Of talk
looks very much like harmOnizing, indeed it
does. a change must come over the spirit
of their dream before they can expect peace
and harmony, which they pretend so much
to desire.

Terrible AFFAIR in Arkansas.

Inc Q pnllth 1Aerhiu oitho AN'h
contains the following account of a
terrible afEeir reported to have recen-
tly occurred in that State:
We learn from a Mr.. Thomas I
Brown, OF Washington county, who
was in tho town last week, that on Sat-
urday the I'd inst, a man arrived in
Fayetteville inthe stage, and Informed
the Sheriff, and two other person, that
there were four men, who would be in
town shortly, from Missouri, who had
killed an old man, robbed IL store and
a grocery, and that he had raised a
company and pushed them, but fail
ing to overtake them, he had taken
the stage and came on ahead. Pretty
soon the four men rode into town, got
off their horses, hitehed thCm, and
one went into the store Of Mr.. Stone,
and the three others went into a gro
Gerry 10 take a drink. before they had
time to take y drink, the Sheriff, clerk
Of the Court, Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Wing,
Postmaster, and Colonel Gunter, went
into the grocery to arrest them Mr..
Wing said TO them, gentlemen, you
may consider yourselves prisoners
With that one of the men called out to
the others to " shuck themselves, and
with that each of them drew two re-
volvers and commenced firing. Mr..
Wing, the Postmaster, was shot dead,
and the man who came in pursuit was
shot under the chin in the throat and
he died IN v few minutes, and Colonel
Gunter was shot in the arm, shatter-
ing the bone. The three men retreat
ed out ofthe door still firing as they
went out, and by this time the citizens
had collected, and an attempt was
made to arrest the desperadoes, but
as they we're armed, and most of tho
citizens were not, they all made their
escape. A posseo of men immediately
started in pursuit of them. They
found one of tho men sitting, leaning
against q tree, having been shot
through the abdomen, The party
told him they would bring an ambu-
lance, and take him TO town, but when
they returned they found him dead,
he having cut his throat and stabbed
himself in several places. The other
three men were heard of II the neigh
borhood Of Elm Spring, n being bad
ly wounded. Our informant did
not state who shot these desparadoes,
but we presume some of the party
must have been armed, and fred on
them, or perhaps Somo of the citizens
fired as they were r%etreating.
Col Gunter's arm is shatterd above
the elbow, and, it is thought, will have
to be a%mputated,

about $1,000 OF which $780, 900 has been

PRIZE-FIGHT AT WASHINGTON.
This disgraceful affair at Washington is
being dignifed by kilograms Of its brutal
particulars to all the leading journals Of the
land. 1t shows the capital city of the nation
to be the only place where such an exhibi-
ton could be planned and successfully carried
out with impunity.-Boston Commonwealth.
The editor of the above-named print is one
Of the Aldermen of Boston who visited this
city, not long since, as one of the joint COM
mittee Of the City Councils Of Boston ap-
pointed to inspect the school-houses of diff
ferent cities. Here the committee was cour-
teously received and entertained by the city
authorities of Washington. Upon his return
to Boston the aldermanic editor Of the Com
n'onoealth mot speaking for the others, how
ever,) fell to Safeguarding the city Of Wash
ington and its people The quotation from
that paper above is specimen of the fairness
which has characterized most Of the state
ments Of the Commonwealth of late, SO in
tensely bitter has its editor become towards
everything and everybody in Washington
outside OF Congress, where is centered the
one thought upon which that paper lives,
moves and has its being-insdne rddicalisn
The Commonwealth is like the old Dutch
man in Pennsylvania who continues to vote
at every election for ANDREW JACKSON. The
Commonwealth, which commenced as an an
ti-negro slavery paper, is still lighting against
negro slavery in this country, not having
discovered that by proclamation Of ABRA-
HAN LscoLs, and by Constitutional amend
ment, the adoption OF which was exacted Of
the late rebel'ions States by ANDREW JOIN,
SON as q preliminary step to restoration,
SLAVERY has been forever abolished, and no
longer exists upon single inch Of United
States territory. The Commonwealth is not
yet read up lar enough in the history Of the
country to have found out the great fact, but
continues to abuse ANDREW JOHNSON as "a
proslayery man" as il would have abused
ABRAHAM LINCOLN had he lived.
