Az INCIDENT.

An Incident occurred, on Saturday, al
tho Arcade, adjniuinE our Office, says The
N. y. Bulletin, which furnishes an adj
nliable commentary upon the atrocious
charges of the AboiiIiuni>ts Of a total
want Of feeling Of humanity on the part
oftho Southern people. Passing through
tho Arcade saloon, we noticed at one
OF tho auction stands negro giil up for
sale, and aronnd,a closely packet crowd
that appeared 10 be deeply interested
in what was going on. Curiosity led
us to pause and inquire what was the
cause Of !he apparent eXcitomonf. The
bids were going OH in very spirited
manner, and generally at an advance
OF only five dollars at bid, and at cv
cry b,d iho eye Of tho crowd would
quickly turn in tho direction whence
the bids proceeded, tho interest aud ex.
cltement being in tho meanwhile upon
the increase.
The girl, a bright, intelligent munt.
, ress, about fourteen ycars OLD, was ev.
| i@eutly not Indifferent to what was trans.
piring. There was no moisture in her
eyes, but they assumed an expression
which indicated that she felt soino anx
lety IN regard to the result Of tho sale.
which is not generally tho case. As
The BIDS reached neat thousand dollars
tho excitement became intense, and as
that hgnro was called, Spontaneous
hiss was heard from one end Of the
room to- the other, fnllnwed by yehc.
ment shout Of "Tutn bin our!' "Turp
