From the N L, Bee.
The prefent number of this
paper probably clofes the edito*
rial career of the printer of the
See in this Bate. On the 18th
mßanc he is bound to appear at
the bar of the circuit court of
the United States, for the dilhicl
of Connecticut then to fit at
New-liaven, and to Band a trial
upon an indi&mcnt under the
ledition law for publiQhng a
piece in May lalt, militating
againß the recruiting ftrvice.
Situated in this predicament, he
has hitherto forborne to detail
the outrages of a fet of men,
whofe lituation in fociety has
protc&ed their infamy, while
their individual demerits would
have expofed private citizens to
ihe obloquy and execration of
ihcir country. The depreda
tions of thefe men upon the
property of his fellow citizens,
he h?s palled unobferved, the
I! infults and threats offered to the
peaceable inhabitants and help
lefs women in his neighbor
hood, and the alarm and dißu
mice excited by firing in. Le
Greets and under the windows
at all hours of the night, he has
refrained from publishing; ar , f |
though the public feeling hus
been excited in a very high de
gree, he has carefully avoided
every thing that could have been
conltrued into perfonal intuit or
wound of private charafter, \
regard to truth and ju Rice, how
ever will not permit him toomit
this oppoitunity of recording
ore of the exploits of fome of
thefe ** defenders of the coun

Eaßerbrooks, one of the foldicrs,
affaultcd. and had neariy effe£l
ed an abominable purpofe upon
a refpc6table young woman who
had come to the relief of her
niece, a fmali girl, who was firft
pmfued by the fellow. The
villain, who has a wife and chil
dren in the garrifon, tore part of
the deaths from her body, and
much bruifed and injured the
young woman. Meanwhile Faf
terbrooks w’ent to the houfe
where the girls lived, knowing
the men ro be absent, and intuit
ed and threatened the family,
reminding them in terrorum that
he had “ powder and ball e
nough."
A Complaint being entered,
and warrant iflncd for appre
hending the offenders, the pro
locutor, who accompanied the
officer to recognize the men,
was intuited and menaced by
the lieutenant, who bid the fol
diers to defend themfelves, but
fuffered them to be taken and
carried to trial, where Duran
was frned fifteen dollars and the
cofls of fuit, and Eaßerbrooks
acquitted. The prifoner was
committed to jail, bur is to be
liberated on Friday next by tak
ing the poor man's oath. By
this means the whole expence of
the fuit is thrown upon the pro
fecutor; and this is the recom
pcnce he receives for endeavour

The people in the vicinity of

whom they icruple not to call a

citizens who are taxed for their

If thefe foldicrs w r cre only
“ to eat, drink, and play with

proper that provifions and wo
