An outrage in a Bar-Room.

--On Thursday night last, a man, who is said to be a citizen of Richmond, entered the saloon of Mr. O. Miller, on Marshall, between Fifth and Sixth streets, said he was just out of jail, and asked for a drink. Mr. Miller told him that he gave no liquor to drunken men, when the intruder applied to Miller a variety of profane and vulgar epithets, whereupon he was put out of the house. A short time afterwards he returned, and rushing to the stove, seized a kettle of hot water and threw the contents in the face of Mr. Domler, who was in the saloon at the time, scalding him badly, and inflicting very serious injuries. Mr. Miller then knocked him down, and others in the house punished him quite badly. As soon as he was released the man left, and as he was going made great threats of revenge. On Sunday last he came to the saloon, knocked at the door, and called upon the proprietor to come out, saying that he was accompanied by fifteen men. Mr. Miller refused to open the door, and thus the matter has ended for the present. Miller is a native of Prussia, served in the military service of that country, and during the war cast his fortunes in favor of the Confederate States, performing his duty faithfully from the commencement to the close.
