EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE. The St. Louis Repu6-
Ecan relates the particulars of infamous outrage
which occurred in Clark county, Missouri, at recent
quarterly conference OF the Methodsts. Just the
morning exercises were finished, DR.. Trabue came
10 Rev. G.. H. Kelly, presented pistol. and lay
ing his hand upon him, said, GU my prisoner,
cross your hands, | the marshal of Missouri
Kelly charged with being escaped convict
from the penitentary of Iowa. and, in spite of the
representation that he preaching in Clark county
at the time alleged, DR.. Trabue persisted in taking
After Keny's hands tied and his legs chained,
Trabue said, " This man has stolen horse, and I'll
take him TO JUSTICE. He taken out of the house,
| Notwithstanding the Temonstrances of his friends,
placed upon horse, and secured by chain being
passed under the horse and fastened each foot with
heavy paddock.
The pretended marshal and his assistants proceed
ed rapidly possible to Fort Madison, Iowa,
victim to the keeper. He at declared that he
was not the man sought for-one Charles H. Kelly,
who had escaped from the pententiary-and that he
bore no resemblance to him. He was Of course dis
charged but he must have all the meekness of a
true Christian if he permitted the pretended marshal
and his posse to escape from exemplary damages for
the wrongs done him.
The CASE OF DR.. SPENCER D. ARMSTRONG. Dr.
Spencer d. Armstrong, of Rocky Mount, Edgecombe
county, has for some time past stood indicted before
the Superior Court of Nash county, accessory af-
ter the fact TO the murder of Iilman Hunt. The
was continued from time time for and
another, and at the Fall Term of 1852 removed
from Nash to Edgecombe DR.. Armstrong was, in
the meantime, permitted to 60 at large upon giving
bail in the sum of $4,000 for his appearance. At
the late Spring Term OF Edgecombe Superior Court
the defendant called, and failing to answer, his
bond was forfeited. The witnesses, however, were
again recognized to appear condition of receiving
notice of the defendants being taken.
This Dr. Armstrong is the same person who has
been lately swindling of the Norfolk people.
He has, perhaps, raised funds enough by this means
pay off his forfeited bond and thus atones for
crime by means of another.
Poor Tillman Hunt, who was so brutality murdered
in this neighborhood three years go, has not
yet been avenged. The miserable tool Gan ignorant
save) of designing Williams has suffered the full pen
atty of the law, but they who really far
guilty, because far intelligent, (Ptt and Arm
strong, )have evaded justice: But let them not be
deceived, vengence will sooner later overtake them.

1necdote Of Gen. Jackson.-The Penn
sylyanian gives the following characteristic
anccdote of Gen. jackson, which we may
add, we don't believe word of:
Zone afternoon the General was rccli-
ming in democratic sort of a way on a So
fa in one of the rooms of the White House,
alone, smoking pipe. About this period,
IA new Foreign Minister, from Portugal we
think, unaccustomed to republican simpli-
city, had arrived, and went up to the White
House to pay the General visit. He was
attired in full court costume, all bedizened
with gold lace DC, and wearing a sword.
No one happened to be there to introduce
him, and he found he was unannounced in
the room in which Gen. Jackson was lazily
Illuminating upon his recent narrow escape
from the pistol of an assassin. The sudden
appearance of the Minister reused the old
man from his reveries, and he gazed at the
intruder with establishment not altogether
unminged with fear, as he proceeded tob bow
and grimacc at a desperate rate. General
jackson could stand it no longer, but sciz-
ing a chair, brandshed it over him, and in
stentoran voice cried out, "In the name
of God who and what are you?" The Por-
tugesc Minister soon managed to give him
an idea of who and what he was, when Gen.
jackson sent down to his kitchen for a
French cook he had, to act as interpreter,
and in this way they managed to have sa-
tisfactory interview.

French and Spanish notices Of DR.. Soale.
The Paris correspondent of the n. Y.
Times furnishes the following inform alton
respecting the sensation Mr. Soule has oc-
casioncd in Europe:
The Charirordcvotes a long article to Mr..
Soule, who is, at present, in Paris, apropos
of an article in the Debats, condemnatory
of that gentleman's torch light and brass
band speech in New York. Thewriter says
that the most extraordinary efforts aremade
by the Spanish editors to induce Govern
ment not to receive Mr. Soulc. One of the
papers of Madrid publishes a sketch of the
personal appearance of this terrible Minis
ter. According to this he lisa man ofabout
fifty years of age, with beard hanging
down to his waiSt-his costume is that of a
hunter and trapper; he never quits his rifle,
and pouches of powder and ball hang from
belt of undresscd leather. He has killed
many a Huron, and even Mohican, in the
days when there were more than one-the
last of them. BY singular caprice, he
has often graced his loins with the scalps
of his fallen enemies. He tattooes himself,
and has the image of serpent on his fore
head in India ink.

Fogyism in this country opposed rigidly
the abolition of corporal punishment in the
Navy. In the English Army, seven years
ago, man in the regiment of Col. White
died of the effects of the martinez lashings
he received; and thereupon the leading
London journal undertook toawaken public
attention to a reform. This reform was
carried through, and let us look at the re-
suit of seven years no flogging in the Ar
my, or the flogging so cut down as to have
little or no affinity with the old system.
The English Army has 1872 corps of cav
airy and infantry. In 1847 there were 81
of these regiments which could number no
case of corporal punishment; from 12 reg
imcnts no returns were made, and in the
remaining 90, throughout the year 40 sol
diers worc logged. In 1848, SO men were
punished, but 83 regiments made no report
of punishment. The next year the fog
ging fell to So. In 1850, So men were
logged. Or in other words out of an army
of 10000 men, less than one in thousand
were punished. AS 104 regiments can dis
pense with corporal punishment outof 1872
the reform can reach the remaining %, aud
the abolition be complete. Such seems
the impending state of humanities in Eng
land. The bare mention of such changes
was received with horror by the fogics of
the army, but look at the result! 1t is a
study for this side of the water.--N J,
Tribune.

A THRILLING SCENE.-A few days since,
as the express train for Baltimore was pas
sing the vicinity of Naaman's Creek at the
rate of 40 miles an hour, horrifying sight
was witnessed by those having charge OF
the train. A man, apparently FISHERMAN,
inhabiting one of the shanties close by, who
was laboring under mania potu had thrown
himself upon the rails for the purpose of
self destruction; but two females, having
drawn him off, We're engaged in dreadful
struggle to prevent him again throwing
himself before the train.
One had a deadly grip on his legs, the
other was knceling upon his breast, as the
iron horse Numbered by, just grazing her
clothing, indeed so close was she that her
own escape from instant death was most
imminent. The whole scene occupied but
an instant, andscarcely any of the passen-
gers had been aware of the danger that was
appending. Those who witnessed it were
horror-struck, knowing the impossibillty to
prevent the destruction of all three, if the
maniac succeeded in struggling only few
inches nearer the rail.-PhaadeLphiaL edg-

A NEW STYLE OF DRESS FOR WOMEN
Mrs. Swisshelm notices new style of dress
for women, which she thinks is destined to
cure one half the female diseases which now
occupy the inventive powers of patent me-
dicine makers.
Instead of pressing the waist into the
shape of funnel, or saw log with the slab
taken off two sides, it is cut in graceful
curves to fit the natural form of the waist
1t is quite long, coming down to the hips,
and whaleboned, so that whatever pressure
there is, comes upon the ribs and hip bones,
entirely relieving the softer portions of the
person, where there is nothing but the back
bone to protect the intestines from being
crushed.

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAw-This ques-
ton is beginning tobc discussed quite free
ly by our citizens. Many whom We suppo-
sed were opposed to it, express themselves
strongly in its favor. Some who are now
engaged in the traffic, and others who are
daily IN the use of strong drink, say they
will vote for the prohibitory law. Potos
probably does heavier liquor business
than any other town in the county; it con-
tains seven Saloons or retail Groceries, and
about an equal number of wholesale estab-
lishments; yet we shouldn't be surprised
to see majority, next November. vote in
favor of a prohibitory law.-Potosi Repu6-

Rg~Professor Stowe writes to a SPRING
field paper whatfollows about the operation
of the Maine law, in the state of Maine:
''The Maine law has shut up the tipping
shops, banished drunkenness from the street,
carried peace and plenty to hundreds of ia
miles before abused and starved, diminish
ing the expensesof crime and pauperism so
and rs per cent, and in some cases even
more, added to the school fund in some of
the towns in like proportion, given us quiet
nights, undisturbed by drunken brawls; and
shielded our young men from the tempta
tons of the bar room. This, to our certain
knowledge, the law has done and is yctdo-
ing, whenever it is enforced and it is enfor-
ced very generally throughout the state"

A QUEER RAcE-A footrace against
time was run on Mount Washington, on
Friday last. A gentleman bet with one of
| the proprietors of the Submit House, that
he (the proprietor) could not run mile in
| eight minutes, starting from the very top of
Mt. Washington. The bet wasa gold watch.
The proprietor is man weighing 100 lbs,
and out of practice, but full of courage He
got off well at first, and the way he leaped
from rock to crag, and from crag to cliff,
was admirable. Some travellers going up
as the runner was on his last quarter, liken
the scene, as he opened on them, to amour
tain goat on the full rush. On this quarter
he broke, making misstep and coming on
his knees, but recovered himself in a mo-
ment, and unframed, pushed on with light
nlng speed to the goal. The result was that
he reached the Judges stand alive and I'M
hurt, (Which was almost miraculous inSir
minutes fifty seren seconds. Any one who
has been over the mile run, must be salts

road in some places being SO rough and pre-
cipitous as to be almost impossible. The

hour to ascend the same distance. 1t was

well deserved the watch, for he risked his

COMPETITION AMONG California Steam
ers.-When the line of steamers were first
established between New York and San
Francisco, the price of passage, was FIVE OF
six hundred dollars, attended with great
difficulty and expense in crossing the 18th
mus. The trip then was very expensive
\ few years experience has enabled the
owners of the lines to reduce that price OF
passage, from time to time, until it is now
less than the cost of trip to England in
the regular steam packets. In looking over
the advertisements we observe that through
tickets can now be obtained at the follow
ing rates: First class cabin, 500; second
do. S75: steerage, with bed and board, $50
The present rates do not pay profit.

THE TWO DROVERSI

The population returns prove a slow but
steady decrease of the population of Great
Britain:
For the or. ending June, 1858, the excess
OF births over deaths in the Uni
ted Kingdom, is put at 10000
No. of emigrants during the DR., 1850
Excess of emigration over births, So,
Emigration, according to this statement,
is going on at the rate of about 400, 900 per
annum. England may therefore put down
among her exports this number ofmen and
women, which she has been at the cost of
rearing to man and womanhood, for which
she gets no returns. If the expense of raj
sing each of these reaches only $500, the
mother country is two hundred and thirty
millions out of pocket by this branch of her
commerce everyyear. She escapes the ex-
pense of supporting some of them in her
poor houses, and of hanging and transport
ing others; but, debitum, she has the burden
of the infrm, and the heavy item of rear
ing half million of infants in their stead,
who will fit as soon as they are well grown.
A losing business, this, certainly. Virgin
la makes a better thing of it, in the business
of exporting her products in poor people
They are not really a better article than
Irish, Scotch, and English men and women
Neither handsomer, wiser, and stronger
but she receives drafts for her drain, at the
rate of about seven or eight hundred dol
lars per head, just now. The Virginia day
book foots up that much better than the En-
glish; but we apprehend her doomsday-
book will look no better. This thing of ex-
porting people and importing calico-send-
ing away LAHORE RS who produce wealth, and
purchasing labor abroad which costs wealth,
is opening the cask and lighting the candle
at both ends.
If England thinks cotton, corn and gold
are good exchange for men, let her look
at her last quarter of century compared
with that of the United States; and if Viz
ginia wants to understand the impolicy of
trading human flesh for calico and cutlery,
let her compare herself with Ohio for the
same period.-Dr. Elder.

A MILLION FOR THE MAINE LAw.-Du-
rim the session of the Massachusetts, State
Temperance Convention, in Boston, a de-
legate proposed TO raise a fund with basis
of a million of dollars, to fight the Maine
Law through. This proposal caused at first
a good deal Of merrimcnt, but several del
gates advocated and explained it, and be-
fore the close of the session, one gentleman
proposed to be one of two hundred to raise
the million. Another person subscribed
ten thousand dollars to the cause, and pledg-
ed one thousand dollars year to the same
purpose.
