THE BACHELORS BUTTON. |
HNHE SEOND NUMBER of this Period |
AsiCal is now before the public. The
very kind favor with which it has been ac-
cepted, prompts the Editor to make renew
ed .exertiOns to place the work on a firm
oundation, and to make it worthy the pat
trOnage it slikely to receive. No effort was
made to obtain subscribers, no publicity
given to design, until the first number was
ready for distribution, the Editor
was unwilling to make promises which he
might be unable to fulfil and he was anxious
that the fMbhc, before it gave encourage
ment or appreciation, should see the work
and have an opportunity to Judge of its me-
lritS. A short notice of the Editors inten-
tons and wishes accompanied the first num-
bers and the appreciation and indulgence
with which his friends and the public gen.
orally received it, gave him hopes which he
had not previously indulged.
| That Alabama would give handsome
support to such publication was matter
of extreme doubt owing more to the COM
mercial and agricultural enterprise, than to
lany want OF liberality, or to the absence of a
spirit for literary advancement. But the
avidity with which fortune has been hunted
down, has not taken away the TASTE of her
Scholars /; and the increase of wealth has
flProdOced the best of all results: the opening
Of the heart, and the gushing forth of the
best feelings CENER osITY, and a desire
: to promote every laudable enterprise.
The BACHELORS Burton is the onlv
periodical in the State devoted entirely "a
aboriginal Literature. 1t is printed in hand.
t some style-(not inferior 10 that respectto
the best in the country.) The very me-
dium Of publication is calculated to inspire
young ambition to vigorous exertion, and tc

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR-BRUTAL
OUTRAGE! I!

An individual of this city was arraigned
before Squire Doty on Saturday last, upon
the charge Of having decoyed, under false
pretences, respectable and interesting
young female into an obscure and dark
room, with intentions Of the most revolt
ing character. We have seldom heard of
so brutal an outrage, or one which is bet
ter calculated to excite the indignation Of
a christian community. The testimony
against the defendant was not sufficiently
strong to Justify the magistrate in com
mitting the defendant TO prison: yet there
was no little apprehension that the pco-
pie who had been attracted to the Office
by the extraordinary nature Of the case,
would ihnict upon him summary chastise-
mant. We are happy TO state, however,
that no violence was attempted.
The unfortunate victim Of this dialoli-
cal outrage, is said to have lost her rea-
son since her escape, and IS now a wretch
ed maniac. She sustained, according to
the testimony Of most respectable witness
ses, most exemplary character, and isa
communicate of the Presbyterian church.
The following particulars ofhcrabduction,
confinement and escape, were derived
from her before she became derangcd in
mind.
On her return homo from singing
school, which she was in the habit OF at
tending twice week, she was accosted
by man on Fifth street, who enquired
if her name was not Miss She an
swercd yes. He stated that her brother
lay at the point Of death, and that he had
been sent expressly to convey her 10 his
bed side: she thoughtlessly accompanied
him. He conducted her to house in an
obscure street, and showed her into q
dark room, and locked the door. The
room was kept dark during her conGse-
ment, which was upwards of two weeks,
during which time she was threatened
and treated with considerable violence by
tho monster who had her in his custody.
She could not recognise the countenance
of the man, who visited her. But there
was a woman who was in the habit Of go
ing into her room, whom she thinks she
should know if she were to see her agar
as she upon one occasion carried can
die into the room. On the night of hol
escape the door had been left unlocked
whether by accident or design she was
unablod to say. Her narrative is corrobo
rated by the testimony Of the lady witt
whom she resided: who represents that I
man called at her house on the evening
of her abduction and enquired for Mis-
| =. and who stated that her brothe
was dangerously ill.-Upon being ttl
that she was at singing school, he an
swcrod that he would go for her. Their

1t will be seen. by the foregoing table,
that England has taken from US, since
1891, half a million CT dollars more than
we have taken from her. OF The ship
ments made in the year 1891 and 922,
one mhlion aud three quarters were in
gold. aud made by the Bank of the United
States. as is shown by its own statement.
No returas of the export Of undutable
articles were made prior to 1891. Could
we have embraced in the table the operas
tions Of 1919 and 1890, we do not doubt
we should have added to the half million
many additional millions of specie taken
from us by England, beyond what we
have from them.
So that in place of England taking spe-
Gle from us, they must send ii TO US, to
balance the account.
