Martin proceeded with two warrants. issued some time since by Trial Justice Gossett, to the Cross Plains settlement to arrest one Thos. Bradley, who, together with his father and several brothers, live on a farm be longing to Mr. Wm. Ponder. MartIn had heard rumors to the effeet that he would probably meet with some resist ance, as the family were known to be very quarrelsome, and had made some threats as to what they intended doing if he, Martin, attempted to arrest. Tom. So he, Martin, first pressed in two men, Messis. Pinkney Freeman and Wn. R. Porter, to go with him, but he did not think it necessary to arm then,think Ing that their presence would prevent them, the Bradley's, from naking any resistance. Martin captured his m&n at a spring near the house, and as he was proceeding to fasten him with hand-ctiffs, the father and brothers came running up aid demanded him to. release Ton, and called to the wo men at the house to bring them the shot-gun, and also began drawing knives and using very profane Ian guage. Mr. Martin, however, held then at bay with a pistol presented, bit when he attempted agin to secutre the prisoner', the old man rushed on hin with his knife and lie shot him in the side. Marthia was then knocked down and three or four of then lay hold of hhn, and would have shot him, but just at the time Mr. Potter knock ed down the nan who had the pistol, with a stick. Martin then got away from the old man and cut one of the others severely with his knife. As some of then from the house were coming with a shot-gun Martin and his assistant then thotught best to retreat, as they were unarmed, which they did in good order, repairingto Freeman 's house, which was near by, and after procuring a couple of shot-guns went back after Toni again, but he had nade good his escape. Mr. Martin has since learned that one or both -of the wound ed parties are likely to (lie from the ef fccts of the wounds, and request us to say that he is to be found at all times, while not out on ofilcial duty, at Eas ley, S.
