The Marshal took twenty men with him, and arrived safely at the county seat of Galloway county. His arrival created quite commotion in Bed- lam. Reports were circulated that he was Cuban fillibuster, come to carry the dis
 tinguished persons of the asylum into cap tivity. A sight of his portly figure added to the fears of the poor creatures, but his voice was as mild as dove's and he soon
