The Particulars or the Attack apon the Germern Patrolmen-Marder of" Frede? rick Brodbacker-Tho Negroes Regu? larly Organized and under Command of a Captain. The Savannah papers, of Monday, are filled with tho details of the bloody tragedy on the Thunderbolt road, resulting from an unprovok? ed attack by a gang of country negroes upon a party of patrolmen regularly appointed by the Mayor and in tho discharge of their duty. We glean the following particulars from the Morn? ing News : THE SPECIAL POLICE. Within a circuit of a mile or two around the city, a number of industrious people, mostly Germans, have settled, and pursued the busi? ness of gardening; and it is mainly the results of their honest labor that keeps oar market supplied with vegetables, fruit, <kc. Thrifty, skilled in th J details of success tul fanning, they have mode what were once waste places, to bloom au J blossom all the year round with the verdure of spring. As a class they axe the most peaceable and quiet of citizens, never disturbing any person, not interfering in any manner with the rights or privileges ol others. Since the negroes have taken to pob tics and va? gabondizing, these gardeners have found it al? most impossible to raise any produce. Their blooming fields were ra vac ed and laid waste by night; the skulking thief was ever around to steal their poultry, or the marauding vagabond to shoot their cows. Not content with this, the vagabond negroes nightly assembled upon the roads, and by firing of guns, whooping and S'ling, annoyed the people beyond endurance, e police force of the city," scarcely strong enough to guard the thickly inhabited portions of tho city, could do nothing for them, and at last they applied to Mayor Anderson for relief, offering to serve in any manner or capacity that he might direct. Nearly all the white men re? siding on Thunderbolt road, on Waters' road and Lover's lane, were organized into a volun? teer special police force, for the protection ot the suburbs and ontskirta of theci ty, regularly a worn in, and .Mr. Nicholas Geil appointed captain. For Borne time past they bore been in the habit of patrolling the woods and fiel la at night, and have been comparatively secure from depredations and annoyance. The ne? groes, prevented by this from punning their thievish practices, looked upon, the special police with deadly hatred, and determined, as the sequel will show, to revenge themselves I upon the men who were forans them to bo in some decree honest. At times the dwellings of these men, isolated as they ar? from each other, and scattered about as is usual in coun? try places, havo been surrounded late at night by gangs of negio?s, who uttered dire threat? of vengeance against the occupants, which they said they would execute when the time should arrive. COUNTS Y NEGROES COMING TO TOWN. It has been observed on our streets that thc usual crowd of country negroes who come in nero on Saturdays to make purchases and carouse, have latterly always been armed. Marching along tho streets, dressed in tat? tered United States uniform, and bearing upon hie anoulder an old musket, and endeavoring to make himself as conspicuous as possible, the negro has always appeared more a subject for laughter than dread. Others bore their arms hidden away m their garments, but few were, there who did not carry some sort of weapon. On Saturday nights they would leave the city for home, and generally assemble in largo gangs at the head of Thunderbolt road, where, in the nu? merous grog shops abounding in that region, it has been their custom to drink and caronso, and 'ereato such a tumult as to disturb citizens re? siding many blocks away. A fortnight ago tho city police made a descent upon and cap? tured one of these disorderly gangs, and this occurrence probably stimulated their anxiety to revengo themselves upon the "country po? lice," as they call the special force. On Satur? day morning last very many negroes came to town. One gane of them while on the way in, halted in" front of. the dwelling of Mr. Spears, on Thunderbo.t road, just beyond the toll gato, and fired two or three shots into the house. They then cried out that they wanted to see the country police when they returned at night; thus giving proof of a settled purpose, a well understood and organized plan to have a dis? turbance as Boon dB night should throw its dark mantle around them. Saturday night wat? exactly sui: ed to their murderous purpose. It was cloudy, dark, and threatening rain; tho . moon did not rise until a late hour, and it was doubtful wtiether it would shine at all or not. Everything was ta vorab! o to the CO.nplote suc? cess Of their murderous plans, and they evi? dently carried them oat according to a pre? concerted arrangement. STATEMENT OP A WITNESS. Wo learn tr. m a gentleman who was in the vicinity where the bloody occurrences of the night took placo, bow tho negroes conducted themselves. He was on the road, and ob? serving the suspicious actions of negroes took refuge ii a house near at hand, where the fiends had no idea that a white man was concealed, or he would probably have also been murdered. He states that there was a regular ambush and decoy. Some thirty or forty negroes were concealed in the old brick? yard field, on Thunderbolt road, just beyond the bridge over Bilbo's canal. Ho gained a point whare he could hear what was going on, ansi observed five or six negroes eome out into the road, walk up and down, and fire off pistols at intervals; and by shouts, whoops and yells, endeavor to attract th? patrol to that point. A man came along the road on horse? back, anet onr intormant says he heard the order passed irom some one who appeared to be in authority, to those iu the road, to halt the person. The words were "Halt the_ ---1 and if he don't halt, shoot his horse 1" The man stopped his horse, and the neeroea. talked with him for two' or three minutes, but not loud enough for our informant to hear the language used* and then they either allowed the traveller to go or be broke from them. At any rate, he came galloping down the road, and when he was a few yards distant from the negroes, a volley of shots was fired after him. bat apparently without off jct. The negroes then resumed their disorderly con? duct, and in a short time after accomplished their wisn; the patrol guard came out on the Thunderbolt road. The patrol, our infoimant says, did not come up iu a body, but Mr. Broadbac.ver, as he afterwards ascertained (it being too dark to see) came on ahe^d bv him? self. As ue mot the negroes, the captain or? dered bim io hale, and at that instant a shot was fired and Brodbacker tell. Tho captain then gave the order. "Fall into line, boys I" At the word of command the wuole body ol ne? groes from the old brick yard sprang into the road and fired volleys of shots oat the road imo the fields, and in every dirootion. The white men returned a few shots and then bioko, jumped into tho fields and ran for their lives. A mau, after? wards ascertained to be Mr. Qu.nt, who was wounded m the road, climbed tho fence into the yard whore our informant was, and tell upon the ground. Afterwards he arose and at temp.ed to get away from tho place, aud the i negroes fired at him again. Ho foll iuto a ditch in the yarJ. When the whites were all . gono, tbe negroes fired into the houso, thon got oat in tho road and whooped, ye'led, cill?d upon the "country po ice" to come back and get some more of the same treatment, and con? tracted themselves like a pack ol demons. They sang, "Rally Round tho Flap," screamed for joy, and in ? hilarious mood marched out in the road in the direction of Thunderbolt, dis? charging their guns at interval*. WHAT THE PATROLMEN SAY. . From the many statements given us, wo Compite the following ae reliable : The patrol 1 noavq a great noi9e down the road towards town, appear^, to come from Schuyler's liquor store-. Thia W &oout quarter to eleven o'clock. They all atartcu -ae road, and when a lit tn more than a hundred yards from tho toil gate, they met five or Six negroes. Brodbacker went np, took hold of one and asked him who it waa that had mado such a noiso along the road. Thc negro said that he did not know, and Brodbacker turned him over to Mastick, who was in command of the patrol, and said that he would arrest another. Ho stepped forward a few naces, and caught hold of another of tho ne? groes, when one of them placed the muzzle of a gun within a very short distance ot' his face und fired. Brodbacker fell to the ground and some thirty or forty nogroea then jump? ed into the road and commenced a rapid fire upon the white m-n. Henry Mastick held the negro in front of him, and the latter cried out that he waa shot. Mastick received a buckshot in bia right arm, and ono in each knee. He had on a thick overcoat, and 8eve ral she ts lodged in tho bodv of it. Some of them may have struck the negro, as bc bowled considerably. Ma8tick held on to him for a few minutes, arid tried to carry him off, but waa compelled to let the fellow go, and secure his own retreat. John Quint was shot in tho abdomen (a very bad wound), in the arm, right leg, near the thigh, and back. He climbed the fenco into the yard of thc small house men? tioned above, where lie probably received the last wound, and fell into a ditch. Frederick Ruckman was shot in tho abdomen, log and shoulder. In retreating, he called upon Mas tick to help him, but the latter replied that ho was also wounded, and ho told Ruckman to drop into the bushes and remain quiet until he could be taken away. Mastick then ??truck across the fields, hid about aome time, and finally came out on tho lane, where he lound that tome ten or fifteen negroes had preceded him. After whooping around for aome time they went to VermVaouse, which, they threat? ened to born down, and actually lit matches, as though to execute their threats. They came on to Mastick'a house, where they yolieJ, .Come out here again, you- country po ice!" Come out, you "red-headed Mastick 1" After lingering about for some time, screaming like demons, they went off. The others re? treated across tho fields and reached their homes. Atter waiting for somo time they met together, and returned to look after thc wounded. THE BRUTALITY OF THE NEGROES. Ha vine killed Brodbacker the negroes gathered about tho body, aa it lay upon the ground, mangled and bieoding. One of them struck the corpse in the head with tho butt of a musket, makiug a horrible crushing wound jnst over the right oye, crushing in tho eye? brow. One of the retreating men hoard tho sound of blows, and ono negro said-"Ol leave that man alone ; he's gone now !" Tho reply was-"I want revenge on tho -." THE ABUS OF THE GU A ED. While every negro appeared to be armed with either a musket, shot gun or revolver, only five persons among tho white men had fire arms. Brodbacker had a small rifle, which he never had an opportunity to use. Another man had a shot gun, and three of the party had revolvers. Their ammunition was speedily exhausted, and thus they were left without means ot defending themselves, and bad to ro treat. THE DECEASED. Frederick Brodbacker, the ?victim of this ter? ribly tragic affair, waa a native of Germany, and was born near the city of Mayence, OD the Rhine, in Hesse Darmstadt. He was thirty two vear3 and five months old, and had boen in this country eleven years. He carno over here and remained a year, then returned to Mayence, was married, and returned back with his wife. He has loag been known as a mar? ket gardener, and his place on Lover's Lano has always been a favorita resort. He ! had erected a fine saloon there, which he kept in the German style, hod a handsome dancing ball, and his place waa much frequented by citizens. He waa a quiet and peaceable man, a member of tho Germania Fire Company, of the Turnverein Society and DeKalb Rifles. He leaves a wife and four children, the young? est being but four mouths old. He was much respected in the community, and a favorite among tho Germans. THE OTHES WOUNDED MEN. John Quint is ?Iso a gardener. Il will ba re? membered that during a heavy thunder-storm last summer his house was struck by light? ning, and one of his children killed. Quint is mortally wounded, and was considered past recovery last night. Frederick Ruckman ia also a gardener re? siding on Lover's Lane. He was in a very bad condition, and should ho recover, which is doubtful, ho will probably be crippled for life. The wound was so email that it could not be Srobed. Both men are being attended by Dr. ead. Mastick was not very badly wounded, and although suffering considerable pain, Was able to be about yesterday. THT. PARI Y OE MURDERERS Waa composed of country nogroaa cntiroly, and they matched off down the country, after accomplishing their deadly purpose. There may have been some of tho Bryan Row vaga? bonds among them. Tho tragedy created great excitement and indignation among the citizens, especially among the German popula latioo. Woe to any pnrty or gang that attempts any such thing hereafter. AFFAIRS TX THE STATE. Union. Tho Court of Common Pleas for Union County cominencod ita session on Monday, Judge Thomas presiding.

T^ey met him in the road, with a Back of nour and a gun. but as soon as he discovored them he turned into the woods. Mr. King cut across to intercept him, and coming near commanded him to halt. He immediately got rid of bis sack and raised bis gun to fire. Mr. King hav? ing a double-barrel gun also, prepared for ac? tion, and they fired almost simultaneously, but without effect on either side. The fellow es? caped, though the other barrel was discharged at him in his flight.

A Piteous S tory-Kilo rt s to save an Err? ing Girl from thc Scaffold. Tho sensation of the hour in New York is thc effort now on foot lo secr.re the pardon of a poor English girl, now lyiog under seutonco of death at Philadelphia for the alleged crimo of infanticide. Philadelphia having utterly ne? glected the poor convict-though twenty-two thousand of her people are petitioning for thc pardon of a negr J murderer-New York takes caro that, the world shall know that sho is out for Hester Vaughan. A zost is gi van lo the public sympathy for her owing to tho coinci? dence that this poor woman bears tho same given name with Hawthorne's horoino of tho "Scarlet Letter"-Hester Pryno. Tho case hr.s some features of romance, such as ono rarely finds in thc columns of a daily newspaper. Hester is described as a pretty, innocent-looking, and respectable young woman of twenty-three, who came to this country with a bruie whom she thought her husband, but was soon deserted, for li? had another wife. In her friendless state she fell a victim to the violence of another villain, whoso name, though its disclosure might have saved her life, sb o has steadily refused to tell. He is now married; and '-nothing will ever induce me," said Hester, "to send terror and disgrace into tho heart of au innocent and "trust? ing woman." In a wretched mim in Philadelphia, while she was insensible from physical pain and mental misery her child was born. She remained for some days without assistance. When sho wasl>>und bv a neighbor aod brought to ber senses, tbe child was dead, with a slight indentation of thc skull, which might have been caused by thc pressure of a finger. Sho was arraigned for infanticide. Having no fnonds und no money, and being as ignorant of tho law us a oh ml, she was so poorly defended lint tho trial al? most went by default. The jury believed her guilty; the public miud was excited about in? fanticide, and thojndtre sentenced her to deaf h. She lies now in the Moyamcnsing Jail awaiting h?r lato, while QtTictionato relatives in Eng? land, ignorant of theso tcrriblo chapters of her biston-, aro writing her to come homo, and her chief anxiety is to keep hom them thc knowl? edge ot her'suflbnngs. A number of kind-hearted ladies ?iud ocher persons, satisfied that Ibu girl is nut guilty, that thc child was either suff>catoil or accidou tally wounded whilo sho was totally uncon? scious, und that if she lind becu properly de? fended in cour t bor innocence would have been made clear, have made great exertions to pro? cure for her a free pardon from the Govert or ot Pennsylvania, and ibo movement culminated on last Tuesday night in a largo public meet? ing at Cooper Inst?lalo. Horace Greeley pre? side land made a low remarks. A scries of resolutions WJS adopted, wliich declare that in all civil aud criminal caics women should bo tried by u jury of bor peers: Bhould have a voico in miking thc law. in electing tho judge who pronounces her sentence, and thc sheriff who, iu case of execution, performs for ber iliai last dread act; I hat tho caio of Hester Van han should startle every mother into a soi? o ol her responsibility in making the laws andar which her daughters aro to livu or penah, and demand? ing that capital punishtneut bo forever dono away with. Mis. Dr. Lozioratid Mi s. Kirk detail? ed the circumstances attending tho cou vio ti on of Miss Vaughan; Parker Pillsbury objected to | tho trial because tho jury were not women; Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton puffed tho Revo? lution, and enlarged upon tho benefits of female Buff ago; and Mrs. Eruestine L. Roso d mied that man was the natural protector of woman. A collection of $318 OG was taken up, and tho meeting adjourned. Thc upshot of all this, as we learn by tele? graph, was that a committee of ladies from New York called upon Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania, at Harrisburg, on Friday, tourgo the pardon of Hester Vaughan. Thc Gover? nor informed them that their mission had beon anticipated by many others, and that tho case was thoroughly understood and his action de? termined upon. Ommcrrinl. Exports.
