An OUTRAGE IN BALrIMOrE.-The Baltimore
Patriot, of Monday, details the following trans
action, which it entities g The way to make votes
for Lincoln and Ha.nlin :"
"Some time during last night, some person
or persons forced an entrance into Independ-
ence Hall, the Republican headquarters, at the
corner Gay and Fayette streets, and committed
cutrases dsgraceful to our city, and the age in
which we live. The records were mutilated, and
the contents of the ink-stands we're empted
thereon. A number of the photographs of Mr..
Lincoln were torn into shred., and the United
States flag, bearing the names of Lincoln and
Hamlin, seems to have been specially odious, as
it was taken from the wall, cut into pieces, and
scattered over the floor. This is only the second
time in the history Of the Republic that the
flag o. our country has been thus desecrated.
A number of Wide-Awake caps and capes were
also destroyed. As the Lincoln Party in eur
city now numbers several thousand of our citi-
zens, the most Of whom viii compare iavorably
with the same number of either of the political
parties, tor their devotion to the union and
the Constitution, and the enforcement Of the
laws it is passing strange that they cannot be
permitted to enjoy their constitutional right
peaceably to assemble. This act Of vandalism
will be like Hudibres' gun, and increase the vote
of Mr.. Lincoln on the 9th Of November next."

there has been found, in an old house, bust OF
Lord Nelson. 1t is of white marble, somewha,
stained by time and negiect. Nielsen is repre-

his breast five decorations. One in commemor-
ton OF the battle Of Aboukir, has tue inscrip-
ton: Rear Admiral Lord Nelson, of the Nile. y
Another medal bears the words almighty God
has blessed his Majesty's glory"
This bust, interesting in its artistic and histor-
ical association, was found On an altar devoted
to the fetish worship, where for half Century
j. has been reverenced as the Deity OF the Monu-
tain Streams.
The names Of the sculptors were ''Coale g.

Thus, tor fifty years, bust of an English al

man, but told him That he ought not to allow
himself to be dragged into taking on the subject
But he was not careful. In December last this
young man was taken out by mob, without
trial OF any kind, and whipped 10 death. The
Henderson Ne'c Era, paper published in Hen

ground that Evans was a common thief, an Abo
htionist, DC. l was shown the whip which was
informed had been she instrument Of his death.
