OUTRAGEOUS RAPE AND MURDER COMMITTED
by NEGRo-TREMENDOUs EXCITEMENT IN MAR
SHALL COUNTY, MIssIssIPPI-NEGRo HUNG AND
SHoT.-We learned last evening the particulars of
most outrageous rape. committed upon white
woman in Marshall county, Miss, near Byhalia, by
negro slave. 1t appears that Mrs. Redman, q very
respectable lady, who was but lately married, had
gone out into the field to hunt turkeys nests, and
was out OF sight of the house, when negro man,
where she was, threw her down, aud committed a
rape upon her person. The black fend made her
promise that she would not tell and then returned
to his poughing. The lady repaired to hill close
by and raise the alarm, crying for help, when the
fend left his plough, and deliberately walked to
where sLe was, and ravsh ed her the second time.
After accomplishing his hellish purpose he choked
his victim to death, thereby committing O double
crime, and then resumed his ploughing, if nothing
had happened. In few hours the lifeless corpse
was found but no trace Of the murderer could be
discovered, until pair of hounds were brought and
put upon the scent of the track. They Immediately
traced the track to the negro, who still plough
ing but he denied all knowledge of the affair. At
length he confessed TO the comm;ta of the deed
giving full statement Of everything and in taking
him away the parties passed by the house Of the
negros brother who said it his brother that did
IT, as he talked about 1t before. This occurred ON
Monday evening, and the news did not become
generally known that night, but the next morning
it spread like wildfire, and the whole country wal
aroused with Indignation. The excitement becamS
and the black wretch was taken by the infnriated
crowd and first castrated, then hung by his neck
until nearly dead. He was then taken down and
hung again by his heels until life was nearly extinct
when he was shot by some ten or dozen men In the
crowd.-Mem1his Whig.

yember2 As chairman Of the Committee on
Wharves, Piers and Slips, he has introduced and
carried through the Board Of Aldermen report and
resolution to permit the of property between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, to erect long
pier on private property, which, If contaminated ,
will prevent public pier from ever being built of
the foot of Fourteenth street. Mr. Boardman is
decided wing politician, but was supported by the
"reformers," and is therefore committed to re

been confined to procuring the repeal of the ordi-
