BOLD ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY R3B
BEBY. —On Monday night, a German
butcher named. Joseph ',Unit, who keeps
a shop on Smithfield street, left the city
to go to his home across the river, near
Spring Garden Run. After he had crossed
the bridge over the run, and when. close
to his home, he was knocked down by a
blow on the back of the head, dealt by
some villain. Recovering from the effects
he struggled savagely with his assailant,
and his cries of murder brought Mrs. Lilz•
ell and a neighbor out of the house with a
light. The would be robber then tried to
make his escape, but the butcher held on
to him long enough, so it is stated, for all
three to recognize him as Charles Wilfre,
who is a journeyman butcher, and works
in this vicinity. The rascal then broke
away, without obtaining anything for his
peril. On Tuesday, Luzon went before
Alderman Donaldson, and made informs.
tien against Charles Wilfre for assault
and battery with intent to rob, and he was
arrested and held to bail to answer,
Wilfre says he can prove an alibi.
SURETY OF THE Pasca..-4 woman
named Mre. Maryler, of Shaler town •
ship, was committed to jail by Justice
Graham, yesterday, charged by her moth
er-in.•law, Mrs. Margaret Soelner, with
threatening to kill her and her own chil
dren, seven in number. Mrs. Miller's first
husband, John Surliter, th'i father of seven
children, she is charged with threatening
to kill, has been nand for some time, and
the widow married another, one Miller,
who, however, left her in three weeks at_
terwards. She is, therefore, to use her
own language, "as good as a widow again,"
and is anxious to be cleared of the aoousa•
tions of the prosecutor, Margaret Soelner.
Mrs. Miller utterly denies the charges
made against her, and says that it proceeds
from "spite work,' that she never could
live quietly with her mother-in-law and
that the said relative only wishes to prose
cute her and get her property.
Horn. &mos CAMERON, the Secretary
of War, arrived here by Tuesday's mid
night train from the east, and took rooms

rick and Thomas MacConnell, Esgs., via•
ited the Allegheny Arsenal and afteryfards
the Fort Pitt Foundry. After returning
to the hotel, Gen. Cameron was visited by
a number of citizens and personal friends.
He left for Louisville and St. Louis by
the 12:25 train westward, intending to stop
here on his return and institute a more
thorough examination of tho cannon
foundry, which is the object of his visit
here. Gen. Cameron is accompanied on
this tour by Adjutant• General Thomas.

At Rdaddaw Bluff. Floyd's forces are re

enough to explain all our reverses in West

Gen. Wise, accompanied by Gen. Hen

limits will be forthwith placed in charge

adopted in all cases, whether the quantity
of cotton be large or small. The railroad

of cutting them off. Colonel Brown re.
ported a loss of fifty men as prisoners,
comprising his sick, wounded and twenty

succeeded in saving his tents, provisions,

miles up the coast met the Confederates
marching down the narrow neck of land
