EaWANToN OUTRAGE We learn that two white men.
supposed to be labolers on the Danvie Railroad, on
Sunday committed gross and wanton act of cruelty
on the person OF negro man belonging to DR.. Win
free, OF Chesterfield county The facts, as we learn
them, briefly these the whites met the negro at the
northern abutment OF Mayo's Bridge-some slight mis-
understanding ensuedpossb.y the negro osed one OF
the "soveregns' in passing-when they seized and threw
him off the abument, which, at this point is 90 or IS
feet above the river shore The negro it is feared re-
ceved mortal injuries in the fall Officer Pearce repaired
to Chesterfield Tuesday for the purpose Of aesng the
perpetrators of this wanton and cruel act Though ac
companed by white man who witnessed the whole
affair, and who appeared be confident OF his ability
to identity the men, Mr. p traversed the line of opera
tons OF the contractors on the Danville Railroad with
out being able to arrest the guilty parties.

We are happy to see the Alexandria Gazette, which
has heretofore spoken very reservedy the sectional
question, expressing tsefn the following brief but en-
phatic terms:
"The position already taken about to be taken by
all the Southern States with regard to the agitation OF
matters in which their rights and interests are involved
will we trust satisfy the consderate and rejecting peo-
pie ofthe North that unwise and dangerous to per-
sst in the spirit of aggression which has been manifested
of late in their section othe country It is time now
for the prudent and discreet men OF the North to unite
with the prudent and discreet OF the South in bring
ing about reconcilia ton and harmony Ii justice and
good sense can prevail this result yet be Effected
The South will not be unreasonable; the North ought
to be fair We will not yield title of our rights; but
we will never seek to invade the rights OF others We
have never yet "dsspaired ofthe Republic"
To this we would add, with like conciseness, that
the South is not unaware OF the probability, strenu
ously insisted upon by Mr. Clay and Gen. Cass, that
dissolution of the Union would result in OF the most
serious character. Her people would be base indeed
they permitted consequences to stay them from the
assertion of their rights, They stand ready lojon in
any settlement of the slavery question on equal terms
To less than that they fully resolved they will not
submit,

Il will be seen that the two small counties Of
Charles City and New Kent might have been ex-
cluded, and yet district, consisting only OF Rich
mond city and Henri leo county, would have been
entitled to more tina n six delegates But we do
not complain that the city is thus locked OF one
of the fine delegates to which she is rightly emil
tied on the basis of representation adopted In the
bill. 1t is gaining much to have an approximation
to her just representation acknowledged by the
Legislature If the Convention meet under the
present bill, the general principle OF the com
bned basis will have been established, and, along
with it, the abolition of the present unnatural and
discord- breeding division of the State into geo.
graphical sections. The Legislature WILL from
time to time apporton representation, in accord
ance with this principle, and our city, with every
other interest in the State, will secure its proper
influence in the public councils. AT present the
extraordinary spectacle is exhibited of constitu-
ency, having about one.ffteeuh part of the white
population of the State, and paying one-elerenth
part* of the public revenue, represented in the
popular branch of the Legislature by only one
delegate amongst l35.
