The cavalry dashed forward and or

came within full view of the cannon
close ahead, at the sight Of which the
insurgents wlted and commenced
throwing their revolvers into Pogue's
run, and fifteen hundred of these Dem

in full sympathy with him, were

train alone.
A short time after this event, while

Kendricli, OF indianapolis, sent his
nephew to inform me that 1.-TWO assas-

from Baltimore, Md, had come to as

already on their track, and they srs-

Dayton, and one i'm Baltim0rc-which

howl. About this time, it will be re-

attempted to destroy the nations life.
Many remember the trial of III. IL.
DOdd, Democratic Auditor of the State
of Indiana, who was tried and con-
demned to be shot. Ii would be well
to look at the testimony in the above
case, and see if there is not further
sworn testimony connecting Mr.. Hen
