An interesting colored individu a), by the name of Henry Willi nine who boards with his mother, Martha Williams, at her house on the Waters road, a few miles from the city, was guilty of a most atro cious assault upon his maternal parent yesterday morning about half past six o’clock.

The negro tiieu raised his shovel, stepp¬ ed back a few steps, cursed Mr Twilley and dared him to come near. Mr. Twilley then sent for an officer. Lietenant Joines came and endeavored to reason with the negro, but to no purpose, the latter telling him if he came to him he would brain him with the shovel. By this time several officers had arrived, and Mr, Twilley left to see the county commissioners for ad¬ vice. The negro then said to the others. “Now, come lees us go.” Lieutenants Joines and Roberts, and Officers Burrue, St. Clair and him Lloyd then with concluded bricks to knock down and capture him without shedding blood.
