“Last night, between tho hours of nino
and ten, an attempt was made to assas
sinate Dr. Fetors, the man who killed
Van Dorn. Dr. Peters is boarding at tha
same house I ana, and I was in conversa
tion with him, Mr. Maynard and others,
on a long portico, in front of our rooms,
from tea time until we dispersed to go to
bed. My room is on tho Aoor above his,
and I distinctly hestd the crack of tho
pistol. lie had gone to bud, and the as
sassin fired at bis hoad, through the win
dow, from the portico, missing his head
butafow inches. The miscreant, made
bis escape, and is evidently in the em
ploy of some of Van Dorn’s frionds, or of
that villainous trio who composed hia
staff, and who published a false card,
concealing facts and expressing false
hoods, in all that relates to that utfair.
The hope is. by the death of Dr. Fetei^,
to prevent the publication of the facts in
the cuu, and of such documents an ho
holds, in the hand writing of Vsn Dorn.
Had thoy murderod tho Doctor thoy
would havo failed in this, for ho has de
posited with a friend the documents seal
ed up, requesting their ^publication iu the
event of his assassination.
Flour, under the exbilerating manip
ulation of speculators in the life-blood of
their country, has suddenly becomo very
scarce in this market, ana exceedingly
high in prices. Within the past few day*
hundreds of barrels of this staff of Ufa
have been spirited off by railroads to so-
cret hiding places elsewhere, thcro to ro-
maln till famine prices again bring it
intoraarkot. Wifi tho Government and
people stand by and see tho conntry
overrun and ruined by those vampyrosin
trade, who care for nothing but gold and
Its equivalent ? Has the Government no
power to rid Itself of these leoches ? Aro
the people powerless, that they should
stand with folded arms till speculators
have deprived the army of subsistence,
and sturved to doath tho wives, children
and widows of our noblo soldiers? Rath
er than submit to such fearful results, lot
ovory speculator in tho nocessarios of
life oo marched to the front and made to
receive the bullets and bay o nets of that

aht in crushing out tho liberty and hap
