OUTRAGEs COMMITTED By THE VIGILANCE
CoMMIrTEEs.-The Franklin (La-) Banner
0 the LIST instant, publishes a communica-
ton from two highly respectable citizens of
vermillionville, descriptive of the cruel and
barbarous treatment of citizens of that place
by the Vigilance cimmittees: '
Numerous families are said to be in suf-
fering condition for the want of the neces-
saries Of life by the action of the vigilants.
One man was taken from the side of his
dying child-havihg lost his wife only a
week before-his hands tied, but subsequent
ly let off on learning that he was not guilty
of any crime. An unoffending boy of four
teen years was dreadfully whipped by the
vigilants. Nor was this all. DIR. Charles
H. Wagner, late a justice Of the peace, and
coroner of the parish, was whipped in a
most cruel manner, without having commit
ted the least shadow Of an oflense, the charge
against him being that, upon the oaths OF
three American citizens, he had ordered
the arrest of one of the captains of the Wig
ilants. ... t

HA- Occasional writes to the Phila-

various assistant marshaIs to take the GEN.
sus, will now shortly be announced in the
different States. They will constitute vast
addition to the army OF janissaries scattered
all over the country, and are expected to do
all in their power to defeat public sentiment
in regard to the Presidency, and also for the
purpose of sustaining the errors of the Gen.
eral Administration. This business will re-
quire to be looked into by the next Congress
and the system may undergo a thorough
revision, before the necessary appropriations
for this service are made.
