Peter L. While, sivcrn on the part of the state. As sornVoth'er r witnesses haVe spoken of the at tack on the h0l,se n Gay street, I will mention what I know"concernitigi it. On that night 1 was called on by Mr.. George Raborg, who asked me to stay in-Mr. Wagner's house, as an attack was contemplated. About 9 o'clockFl armed myself witlra sword, and went tothe houstand staid there a"boiU an hour. There were a number of persons there at the tim?. I returned home, and aboul two o'clock, Mr. George liahorg again .called on me, and I went to the house, where I bad It Pi rhy sword. I Called by and took a watchman with me, placed him near the door, and desired the people near .the house to go away. I saw four persons, were men, and i asked them wht they wanted ! came up, when some observed, that I was not con some said they wanted Mr. Wagner. In the jcerned with the party in the house, but was the eailier part of the nigbt, a constable came by, and' son o captain White to whose widow the house -T asked him to assist me, if necessary ; he. said i belonged : they then said they knew capt.

In about fif'ctn minutes, tlicis was a' stone thrown at the, house. I went up to I he man, and asked him what he meant. He caught hold of me, Ec oh served 1 was one of the party." Seeing no person to assist me, and believing my life in -danger, I suffered him to cany me up ihe alley. A crowd be no more disturbance. I told him it was ira- propcr - language, and he went off promising to assist me, if necessary ; no attack was made pn the house, and I went home. On Sunday, the 26th of July, therevwas a report that Mr. Hanson h'd arrived in town and wus about to issue the : .
