borhoodo of the quarantine ground have been making
good thing out Of the panic created by the reported
existence of the yellow fever there They erected
barricades around the place, and would not permit
the eTess or ingress of any person whatever unless
authorized by them. Consequently provisions be-
came scarce, and fresh meat in denand this demand
persons authorized in and undertook tosup
ply, but charged such enormous prices for everything
that the imposition became nnbearabfe and the
CAPTAINS of the vessels detained there together with
their crews, rose enrnasse and demolished all the
barTicades with the exception Of those erected bytle
State. They have issued i card in which they say
are willing to submit to all laws for tile aslita-
ry regulation Of the State but when the specliators
of Richmond county ask to pay four cents on the
pound for beef more than the butchers Of New Fork
ask us, we think it Is outrage upon us, We cannot
know whether the weight Of the meats right Of not

DfsaHAcEFUL AR The Selma Sentinel of die
l6thsays:
8 most disgracefnl affair occurred in our city on
last Monday night, the 1lth inst, and an il
with pain we feel called upon to notice, and to cen
sure in the most emphatic terms. The facts are as
follows, related to by tile sufferer Of this out
rage himself: Some two months ago, a man, who
says his name is John oaulsberTy, came this city
from Sumteryille, S. c. and engaged to do work on
the Marion Branch Road While in the city OH last
Monday night, . young man by the name Of Perkins
proposed that they should go to Nanceis Tank to-
bathe while at the tank some seven persons run up
disguised, gathered hold Of saulsberry, carried him
by force some three hundred yards up the river to an
old shanty at brick yard stripped him Of his cloth
ing, and most inhumanly whipped him with a cow
hide and paddle, and blacked his person. They
then carried him to house of ilfame and with licks
upon his person. forced him to break through d win
dow into the house, they then took him to the house
of negro woman made him hug and kiss the negro
wench, and perform various other interesting and
amusing Ito them) tricks.
He says they then took him to the Exchange drink
ing house and forced liquor down him, and finally
carried him to the porch of the City Hotel, where,
after infcting quite number of stripes with q cow
hide and paddle, turned him loose perfectly naked,
and less all the money he had-$l3 20. The man
Saulsberry, says the only these persons give
him for this barbarous and unlawful outrage were,
that he failed to pay his hotel bill of about $50 and
that he had been taking buggy rides with some young
ladies. S& 81 ST5%g * 5'
We know nothing about the previous history Of this
man Saulsberry, and had never seen him until he
called ut office yesterday to exhibit to us the
laceration Of his flesh made by these men. He seems
to be respectable individual and to our mind it is
of the most henous outrages that has ever been
perpetrated in this State and It is just of those
violations of the rights of persons that should be
made an example of We denounce in the roundest
terms all species of mob law. We have good laws,
honest and upright men enough in this city and
county to have those laws enforced and therefore,
there could have been excuse for this outrage in
our city. s. ezl.s sl4is ss.l
