UnIa,cfm Outrage.-On Tuesday night last
Mr. John Burbridge, living on the line ofthe ga
/ nal, about FIVE miles below Cumberland, was sc
seriously beaten with clubs and stones. by some
of the Irish laborers on the canal, that his lie was
considered in imminent danger We learn that
the cause of this outrage was, that Mr.. Burbrdge
had sent his negroes to one of the shantees to re-
take some turkeys that had been stolen from him
that evening; after which fifteen or twenty labo-
rers went to the house of Mr.. B., and called TO
him, and on appearing at the door, he was seized
and most nhunanlv beaten. On the following
day, Col. Thruston, with Captains King and Hal
|lcFs Companies, marched down the line and ar
rested and brought to town thirteen OF those sup
posed to have been conspicuous i'll the outrage.
They are to be tried on Tuesday next and we
hope, if found guilty, they may be severely pun
ished for this violation of both law and humanity.

Terrific Storms in Virginia. letter from Gc"ch'
land, Virginia, published in the Richmond " h,g,
under date of the 28th utimo, says:
We had three of the most terrific storms last
night, in rapid succession, between II anu |
o'clock, ever known in any latitude. Fourteen
flashes were co-nstantaneous with the thunder,
all apparently sinking in the yard, aud there
could not huve been less than l2 or 1900 distinct
discharges OF electricity, more or less near. Mil
ton alone could have conveyed some idea oil the
tremendous sublimity of the scene. No mischief,
however, was done that have heard of, except TO
the wheat. In the last cloud, the wind for min
ute and half threatened TO destroy every thing,
and the wheat has been Frustrated in many pa-
| ces. Rain was greatly needed, but not TO fall in
| that style.
| The Petersburg Intelligencer Of the Sd instant
says:
Our town was visited on Saturday night it'll
| one OF the most severe storms which have
known 1t commenced about eight O'Clock and
continued until II, during which time the light.
| ning was incessanl, and so near that scarcely a
| moment would elapse between the flash and the
noise oi the thunder. The rain came down in
| torrents, and the wind blew a gale during the
time. We have heard Of no injury which has
been sustained in the town with the exception Of
one house, which WAS slightly injured by the
| lightning. Tue untry, we fear, has not bee n
$" fortunate, as the wheat must have been seti-
ously injured by the wind and the hard driving
rain.

BY the steamer Columbia whrh arrived yes,er-
day morning, we have Houston papers to the 2ls'
inst. By these we learn that the Cumanches in
the ntighborhood of Bexar, have become exceed
iney hostile, and violent anima dversions made
on the conduct Of the executive for taking steps
odefend the frontier, and carry into operation the
law recently passed BY Congress to that effect
This same tribe, however, in the vicinity of Bias,
iron, remain quite friendly, and it is therefore sup
posed that some recent outrages must have been
committed on them by the settlers above Bexar.
ruffian named James Wright, who, some months
since, fled from Houston after numbering an In.
dian, was lately arrested at Bexar where he had
robbed the church of about sixty pounds ofslvfr
in consecrated vessels. Wright being conducted
to Houston he liberated by the sheriff of Col
orado, and justice Of peace! They have gone
towards our lines, and it is supposed intend to en-
ter the United States We trus, some measures
will be taken to resent this insult to-,he majesty
of the laws. The steamer sWarsaw" is running
regularly between Galveston aud Houston. The
new theatre at the Capitol continues open. Mrs
Barker, once of The St. Charles, took benefit
there on Monday evening last Some curious
sparring is constantly taking pl ace between the
! editors of the Telegraph and the Banner. The
former is Mayor of the city, and the latter lately
raised big fuss with him because two dead dogs
lied together were left before their docr:-ths
| Mayor in reply states that he has removed the dead
dogs complained Of, and regrets that he cannot
also remove the two live dogs who made the com
plant, and far greater nuisance to the neigh.
horhood. A party Of 200 Mexcans recently came
into Goliad and stole all the horses and m ules in
and near the place Near Copana they overlook
seven Wagons low ed with merchandise, which
they pdaEed, killing Putnam and Harris, two OF
the drivers. They oso captured and robbed two
young men Refugo, who claiming 10 be
citizens of the United States, and threatening II
obtain redress from their Consul in Matamoras, 8,
frightened the marauding leader til he Instant,
gave them their liberty, their horses, and every ar
ticle they claimed. A new and much larger iii ca
tie is about TO be built exactly opposite the Cap.
