n1sGnACrFUL OUTRAGE.

1t becomes our painful duty to record another
most disgraceful outrage, which was transacted in
Hamilton township, in this county on Saturday Of
last week, near the store Of Robert Chapman. 1t
appears from evidence that four men, by the names
Of George Baker Lewis CNbtree, Amer Pyle and
Dow Saunders, came to the store OF Mr.. Chapman
bringing their liquor with them in jug, all feeling
pretty well soaked and in for q row. After while
they succeeded in accomplishing their desire. As
soon as Chapman discovered indications Of Difficult.
IT, be ordered the parties to leave his store and prem
ises, aud upon going out, one Of the party knocked
a Mr.. Carr down, when Others joined in and beat
him tremendously, and but for his wife and others
who rescued him. would probably have been killed
They continued the fight, one with an axe, Others
with stones, etc; Chapman's house was stoned win,
dows broken, and other disgraceiul acts committed
after which they left the place. short time aftel
they had gone. and every thing became quiet, th'
citizens Of Cab-orchard came forth aud to their hor
ror, found James Guthrie, On old man in his 18th
year, who resided with Chapman, near the place Of
battle, with horrid gash cut in his fOrhead. Med
ical aid was Immediately called, aud after an exam
inaton found that the scull had been broken, and
upon raising him, portion Of brains dropped iron

SENATOR WILSON AND THE MAssAcHU-
SETS KNOW NoTHINGs.-The american
Organ, at Washington, on the 10Th inst
published letter from Senator WILSON,
in answer to questions propounded by the
editor of that paper. He says that he
fully recognizes the doctrine of State
Rights in its application to Slavery--that
he does not entertain the opinion that
Congress has any power to interfere with
Slavery as it exists under State laws and
that the American organization in Mas,
sachusetts docs not embrace the subject
of Slavery among those for the regulation
of which it was formed.

SPRING PRosPEcTs. We are gratifed
to state that, from all the Indications a.
round US, there is every reason to believe
the hard times are almost over, and that
with the opening of spring we may ex-
pect to see the evidence of returning
prosperity. Farmers have ceased to
croak about their crops; capitalists are
looking around for investments; business
men are beginning to appear cheerful;
bankers are becoming less heartless;
money is decidedly easier, and we shall
doubtless listen TO the chinking sound oil
silver, passing from hand 10 hand, before
we hear the music of the singing of the
frogs. Merchants who, a fSw weeks ago
were looking up shanIies TO pack away
their goods for the purpose of saving
rent,now refuse to leave their store rooms,
even though compelled to pay advanced
rents over last year. Mechanics are be.
gining to make contracts for the coming
season. Laborers are repairing their
hods, their hoes and their wheelbarrows
and the hearts of the hardy sons OF toi
are made happy with the bright prospects
Of certain employment. II is time to STOP
croaking. Relrenchment has dispers ed
the dark clouds that were hanging over
US as a people, aud now with little more
prudence, and the same amount of ener
gy that we have ever before exercised
we may confidently look forwerd to the

FrcmOnt's Claim.

The Washington correspondent ofthe
New York Courier & Enquirer says Of
Col. Fremonl's claim in California, which
is now pending. by appeal in the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
1T involves the right OF Col Fremont
to a tract of land containing one hundred
square leagues, equal to nine hundred
square miles, in the midst Of the richest
mining district Of California. The claim
Of Colonel Fremont comes through an
alledged colonization grant to one Alva-
rado from the Mexican Government
This gr Mt was vague permission to
locate hundred square leagues without
more definite boundaries than require
ment in the permission that floating right
should attach within limits computed to
embrace thousand square leagues
The California land claim commission
has allowed the claim, and the Uunted
States appeals against its decision. It's
among the greatest land cases ever
brought before the court, not only from
the Importance OF the principle involved
but because the land in question is al.
ready occupied by thousands Of miners
who extract from it many millions Of dol.
lars in gold annually. The establish.
ment of private title over the scenes oI
their labors would produce sensation
moi favorable to the authority Of the Fed
eral Government. Nevertheless, justice
must be done and the laws must be exc
cuted as the court shall declare.

Just above Congress Green, on q tufted

and looks down upon the sweeping waters

blest citizen of the West. No monu-

tion of people, for whom, in the most
horrid of border wars he barred his bo-
som to the bullets of a savage foe. Right
glad are we then, to see the Gin. Gazette
advocating the prOpriety of the State s
indentiiying itself with an appropriate
monument as a token of its gratitude and
yeneration. No more lovely spot could
be selected than that on which the He
roe's remains now rest. From the rail-
way and river, the eye of the traveller
would behold our grateful praise with ad.
miration and delight. II is becoming in
