A Policeman Shot and .Severely Wounded, by a Noted Desperado, while Under arrest— Oppicrr Jackson Shot at Twice bt Him—The , Balls Pass Through His Coat.—The neighbor hood of the Old Market was thrown into an unusual excitement yesterday, just before noon, bv the an nouncement that a policeman had been mortally t wounded and an officer tired upon. Soon it was as- t certained that the report was true, aud that police- a m.»u Tyler, the son or the well-kfown tobacconist 1 of tbi# city, had been shot by George Curly, while i under arrest upon the charge of shooting Kate I.ee. < a waiter girl at the free concert under the old United i States Hotel. It also turned out that officer .la k- ( son had. at the same time, beeu fired upon by Curly, s and that two balls passed through the cape aud I sleeTe of his overcoat. 1 After the different parties cognizant of the arrest i and shooting reached the station-house aud became i calm, we gleaned the following— < the arrest op curly. Policeman Tvler. with officer Jackson, arrested Curly about 111 o'clock, on Seventeenth, between | Main and Cary streets, upon the charge already meu- | tinned. when officer Jackson left him in charge of , Tyler, with instructions to take him to the station- | house over the Old Market while he went to look lor j the other parties implicated. Tyler was obeying or ders when Curly drew a pistol, suddenly, aud pointing [ it directly at him, fired—the ball entering the abdo- | men, on the right side, just below the ribs, passing ( through or around, aud coming out of his back, lie- ( low the short-ribs, nearly three inches from the 'pi ua! column. This took place before reaching Mam street. Tyler did not fall immediately. THE ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OE THE PRISONER—UE TRIES • TO EILL OPEICER JACKSON. Immediately after shooting Tyler, Curly fired two shots at officer Jackson, which passed .through the cape aud sleeve of his overcoat, but fortunately did not wound him. Captain Jackson promptly returned the fire, however, without effect. In the meantime the prisoner rau through Mrs. Goodwin's house, iu Baker's Alley, and took refuge in the stable of l'ha*. Logan in rear of it. On gettiug reinforcements 1 Captain Jackson commenced pursuit, and on reach ing the stable in question, found Logan rubbing ' down bus home. A search being made Curly was found stored away in a wooden box under the trough, carefully covered over w.th hay. He then drew his pistol at once, on being discovered, and surrendered, and the Captain took him in charge. : refraining from killing him upon the spot as many a less cool officer would have done. alter having been twice fired at with deadly intent by lnm. He ' was taken to the station-house, and after being hand-cuffed, consigned to a secure cell. Desperado as he was. when searched, he requested to retain his sister's photograph. WHO CURLY IS. The perpetrator of the murderous deed above de scribed is not to the mauor born, but came from Mississippi, where he was known us a very bad boy. He subsequently went to New Orleans and becam a member of a notorious gaug ol desperadoes.— Sundry bloodv deeds are ascribed to him while there. His right uame. we have ascertained from one acquainted with his previous history, is uot Curly but Knuia. UK WANTED TO KILL JACKSON. On arriving at the police station the prisoner ' looked verv defiant, and eudeavored to get off the iron bracelets which were placed upon his wrists. He said to officer Jackson : “ 1 know you." Oil being put iu the cell afterwards, he remarked that he didn't intend to kill Tyler, but wanted to kill Captain Jackson. TUB CAU.3B OF HIS FIRST AKREST. On Saturday night, after the free concert iu the old United States Hotel had closed. Kate Lee. one of the waiter girls, retired to her room above, and about 11 o’clock Curly demanded admittance, which being refused, he fired through the door, the shot taking effect in her knee, causing a painful wound. He then ran off. and was not seen, though sought after, until yesterday morning, when first arrested. THE PARTT SHOT. Young Tyler, who was shot while in the discharge of his duty.’is a most estimable young man, aud has scarcely attained his majority. He was married on the 12th of December. He is well connected in the city, and his condition is the subject ot the earnest solicitude of a large number of relatives aud friends. It was thought at two o’clock yesterday afternoon by Dr. Cullen, his attending surgeon, that his wound was not mortal, as the ball had probably gone around instead of passing through the abdomen. OTHER PARTIES ARE3TED ASD LOCKED l‘P. CUas Logan in whose stable the prisoner was found. and other parties supposed to b<- connected with the affair, were arrested and locked up. A SIOLCNOBON IN TKOl'LBB. Arthur Wesley Ferguson, the raolungeon, desired Yesterday evening about four o’clock to comiuuui cute with Curly and for certaiu reasons uot neces sary to state was locked up. TWO SOLDIERS ARRESTED. James Sewby. of the Twenty-fourth Massachu setts, deserted 'from the Libby Saturday night, permitting McKown. of the same regiment, under arrest for garroting, to escape. He was arrested on Sunday morning lor Curly, hut his identity being established, himself and McKown. simultaneously arrested, were surrendered to the military authorities, and are now secure iu the Libby, awaiting a trial by a military commission. TYLER’S CONDITION LAST NIOHT. At six o’clock it was reported that policeman Tyler was dead, but upon going to the polii-e headquarters, we ascertained that such was not the ease. At a quarter to eight, his condition was said to bo favor able. _ RodbEry and Attracted Mi rdkr.—Truly we are beset with murderers, garrotere aud robbers, aud the remark of a geotlemau, who has visited ail the Southern Capitals since the close of the war—that he finds iu Richmond the same faces he found iu each, is true to the letter. Rogues are migratory, aud after failing elsewhere, they look to Richmond for a resting place. If not like Boston, “the hub of the Universe, our city w ill soon become the Peni tentiary of “the universe,” if our police are only vigilant, and our judges and juries strict and vigor ous in the administration of justice. This i» rather a lengthy preface to introduce the fact, that Joseph Hawkins, colored, who resides on Simpkin's Aliev, hearing a knock at his door, on Saturday night. | about ten o'clock, opeued it. when two white men eaUiod. one presenting a pistol to his face, while the other deliberately rifled his trunk of $207. Hawkins, on making resistance to this summary admin.-tra- j tion upon his momed ctL. u. was tired upon twice tiv one of the robbers. John>ui.. .one ot the shots . taking effect in his left arm. which is i»ao», fractured from the wound. He seized Johnson, however. i>. hi* wounded condition, and held him until a Federal sergeant and a city policeman came to the rescue and secured The prUouer was taken to the statiou-bouse and locked up for trial. His accom plice escaped. Johnson is from New York. I.iqcoK Shops Not Patino. — A adored bar keeper, Scott Robinson, was before the Court, Sat. : urday, charged with embezzling liquor and cigars and testiiud that he took in five dollars in four days. He paid two -^Jlars and fifty cents a gallon for whiskey. Judge—You must, if that the case, sell good whiskey.

Bl!* I’VE VS NOTICE!*. Padrio Rhc.—Once upon a time, in the land of 1 the Finnegam'' there dwelt in a thatchud cabin. iy the way aide, a dapper little fellow, nicknamed | Jadrig Rhu. that Is, Red Paddy. He was know n, j i>o. as Paddy the glass-cutter, for that was his rade. Stunted in stature, but hardy as a scrub oak. : quare budt from bead to heel, like an axe hewn i ng. with a crop of red hair, which had always been I , failure, a jolly nose, like that of the Mcrc-Rye-I- | m. who corresponds with the NVir York Herald, a j bin pointed as the l»eak of the F.arly bird that atches the worm, and freckles on bis cheeks thick I ,s the blotches ou a Quartermaster's return, lie bad. I lowever, the misfortune to lie afflicted with a cancer , inder his eye. and bad the ill luck. too. to have still ' mother "eve-sore.” and that was, a skill in uncork- , ng " the crathur.'' as eminent as that of Hruut in j orkiug " the beast.'' in other words, a habit of "wet- | ing the other eye.” which even Hrant himself could j lot Wat with his "overwhelming numbers.” Well. Paddy w orked in a city, a mile and a hall rum his cabin, and going to. and returning from . liswork. had to pass by •• Hallows Hreen.” a spot vhere Briti'h Hangmen used to string up sundry j ‘mnegans. for the benefit of the Brit.sh Constitution, i ind the intimidation of rebs. On his road. too. was i graveyard, which was a re/ugium omnium murtu- j >rum. while beside it was a quarry, in which was mried one I'ussuryraic. so called from his hideous j leformity, and who cut his throat in order to get rid | «f the sight of himself: and in which, too. was j juried oue Heorge Ryan, a British hangman, who, i n his latter years. rei>euted of lus crimes. Passing j »y this horrid quarry, simple Irish peasants used j ,o make the sign of the cross, for the suicide hey regarded as •• dead gone to the devil,” j md tfAhangman " a murlherin thief of the j Aorld-^rorse than the devil himself.” One night—it was a New Year's Eve—Paddy was ! toiug home tight as a brick, he stopped at the •hurch-yard gate, and getting over the stile some vav, got into the graveyard, and muttered. "Hod here—a happy New Year to ye’s ill1." Re viving no answer he added. "Be me soul tis ver elves that's uncivil. Shure 1 tuk ye for daeent hrishthun ijeople. Ye spalpeens, here's good look 0 ye any way." And thereupon he took a swig: mt just at that moment he got a tremendous lick rum behind which sent him sprawling bottle, jody and hones on a tomb stone. Rut Paddy tot up, seized a human shin bone, and pitched nto a fearful looking form which conf.onted him ivercome howevtr by whiskey and hard licks lie lay mt flat, and the next morn ng people coining to a uner.il found him last asleep, lettered and bruised, md on being questioned, be said be bad a tight with leorge the hangman and C'ussaryraw and other * bligards,” aiid that he gev cm a divil of a beatin.” 1 bis gave rise to a roar of laughter, for close by a >uck (Billy) goat was grazing, am! that was Paddy’s intagonisL Ever after he was called " Paddy the ibost." while some of the wags used to call him • Paddy the goat.” Poor Paddy’s New Year was thus a miserable one: >ut there are others in lands far from his to whom lie advent of the New Year is but the advent of lorrow. To-day, in many a graveyard, many a tear vill be shed and many a pale hand will tenderly lress the green grave where some beloved one sleeps, down here iu this Southern land, around and about in h 1 side and in once green valleys, gallant soldiers deep that long, long sleep that knows no waking, md there is grief inexpressible in many a Southern mme. Many an orphan holds up its little hands owards its mother weep ng over it. while grim joverty stands savagely staring in at the door. There s many a lone and heart-stricken widow: but of all hat we know, there is one to w horn our heart turns vith more interest than any other, and that is the vidow of Stonew all Jacksou. There is no use in lisguising the fact—she is in abject poverty. The vife of him whose name in the world is a holy theme s in a state of destitution. Shall this be ! Shall the lartner of the hero perish, while bronze and marble ire being erected to him. The truest monument to ilfectionatelv commemorate him is to care for his vidow.
