oLfa ssssisn.
We have not yet learned the fate Of
the negro, Henry Baldwin, arrested here
last week, charged with having VIOLA
ted the person Of . Kentucky lady,
named Mrs. Benson When the mar.
shall Of Paducsh left our city in charge
ofthe negro, he was spprehensive that
q mob would board the boat at. Metropo-
lis, take his prisoner from him and sum
marily dispose Of the wretched creature.
AS no intimations Of violence have
reached us, we are disposed TO believe
that the marshal arrived safely at Padu.
cab with bis charge and deposited him
in prison there.
Before leaving the Cairo calaboose the
prisoner made a second confession, and
gave evidence oft truth that was cal.
culated to carry conviction with IL. He
confessed that he seized hold OF the per.
son Of Mrs. Benson. and informed her
that he would kill her and her child on
the spot unless she yielded to
his beastly desires. She re.
fused to do so and struck
him violent blow on the sternum, with
a tin cup she held In her hand, that lac.
Grated the skin. This wound he exhib.
ted. The fend then struck Mrs. b, two
or three blows, knocked her down,
choked her until she was insensible, and
accomplished his hellish purpose while
she was In that condition. When Mrs.
b. recovered her senses she still appre-
hended violence at the monsters hands,
and persuaded him, as he says, to leave
the country. She DID this because she
feared that IL he remained on the prem
Uses, he would murder her and her child
and burn the house over their bodies in
an insane desire TO prevent exposure and
hide all traces ~ his guilt. He took her
advice and fed the country, as previous.
ly stated.
The widest excitement and indigna.
ton prevailed among the neighbors
when the details oithe outrage became
known, and armed men started out In
pursuit OF the criminal In every direction.
Had he been caught in Kentucky before
this frenzy became quieted down, he
would no doubt have been strung up to
the first tree.

The Inflated Cumberland.

A Geographic dispatch from Evans
Vile to the 81. Louis papers says that ii,
10 reported that the Cumberiand's boilers
were In such bad condition when she
left this city that number Of the crew
refused to make the tripo on her" Ifany
such report gained circulation In Evans
vile or anywhere else, II did so without
having even the color Of truth to sup
port II. The boilers had, only two or
three weeks before, passed inspection,
and were believed to be In good order.
The explosion ID, most likely, chargeable

effect on any other steamboat snoat,

A Desperate Man.

We mentioned yesterday the arrest Of
southern Irishman by the name Of
Patrick Sweeney, and spoke Of his vio-
lent resistance Of the Officers and his
assault upon the city jailor. He Is Ger
tainly one Of the most desperate fellows
with which our authorities have had to
deal for long time. Yesterday evening
he promised the jsilor that II he would
give him the liberties of the yard he
would cease his yelling and noisy dem.
constructions, and conduct himself quietly
and decently. The jailor, who Is noted
for his humanity, complied; but Sweeney
had no sooner gained the open air than
he exhibited devil within him self big
enough for a whole community. He
seized an empty water bucket and dashed
1t into fragments on the ground, and
then approaching the jailor dealt him a
blow that would have knocked aim ost
any other man sprawling. Instead Of
procuring a club and beating the desper.
ate man into state OF submission, the
jailor ordered him to his cell. Sweeney
refused to go, whereupon the jailor
seized hold ofhim and forced him, In des-
pite his kicking, striking and biting.
Speaking OF the matter this m corning the
jailor said: "the scoundrel came very
nigh biting the legs OF Of me, )" and draw
ing up the leg Of his pantaloons, he
showed where the furious fellow had
buried his teeth into the coarse and hea-
Wy leather OF his boot. As he has ten or
twelve days to serve in the calaboose, 1t
has been thought advisable TO hand cuff
him. He swesrs the direst vengeance
against the jailor, and will no doubt
wreak 1t the first opportunity. He is
full slx-footer, well developed, and we
never saw man who was more perfect.
