The OutrageLm Ashe.

We have recently heard the particulars of one Of
the most dabolical outrages perpetrated in ell
Their savage or civilized community. 1t occurred
in Ashe county, in this State. We had before heard
some rumors of it, but only few days ago learned
the particulars
1t seems that a man, named Mitchell, had negro
man hired, who slept in the loft of the house IN
which Mr.. Mitchell lived. During the absence of
Mr.. M this negro, together with another negro, and
a white man named Whitaker, outraged the person
Of Mrs Mitchell and then murdered her. The par
ticulars are too revolving for publication. The ne
gro that was hired to Mr.. NJ made full! confession,
duplicating the other two named. He was tried at
Ashe Court, two weeks ago, and convicted, but sem
tence was not passed against him, in order that he
may be competent witness against the other negro,
who will be tried next fall in Wilkes county.
There being no competent testimony against Whit
ake though scarce doubt is entertained OF his guilt,
he was not brought to trial but we learn that num-
Der of citizens caught him one night, a week or two
ago, and after stripping him to his pantloons, pro-
ceeded to give him a hundred lashes, we'll laid on
He was then hung until nearly dead, when he was
taken down and permitted to revive and then hoisted
again. This process repeated three several times
When taken down tie third time he thought TO
be dead but in the darkness he managed to slip OF,
and that is the last we have heard Of him.
AS general thing we opposed 10 Lynch law,
but in case like this we deem ii not only justable
but commendabIe. The scoundrel ought 10 have been
suffered 10 hang little Salisbury Banner'
The President has signed tile bill for the con-
struction of six steam frigates.
