OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT or 4 PITTS
DUKGI}EK IN NEW ORLEANS.


From the Pittsburgh Gazette, Dec III
We have bccn shown letter from Mr.. Har-
ris. the aren't Of B. 4. Fahncstock d Co., who
was rudely expellcd fron New Orleans by j
mob, for the sole offence Of being Northern

did be boast that be llad 50 voted and was glad

1T homo ut tho time of the election, but was n

Tic expulsion took place on the eth ult.
lie had been in The city day or two, attending
to the business Of the firm, and was sitting in
Ills room ut tic hotel, wien he was waited up
on BY committee, who compelled him to 60
down stairs, where he met IN excited crowd,
and was presented By the foreman Of the CON-
1uittee, who said: .

"Let the South sccede, nobody cares the

of the South-no indeed not he"
Mc. Ilarris denied Ill these allegations; sent

admitted thai he was In favor Of secession, IS
the quickest way Of settling the present dith.

insisted that the Committee should 20 with
Morrison and Harris 70 HaErls, room, ana re- re
port the result Of theiE Investigation to inc
crowd. This was done, and for the rest We
leave Mr. Il. to tell his own story.
"Hcrc I threw open for their inspection
some Of my private correspondence, letters OF
introduction, DC, several Of which letters be-
they expressed their entire satisfaction, and in
fact my position gained the full approval ofM my
aecu,er, VI. .NaiAans all Of Mr. Morrison's
teiimony was also in ny favor. The report
Of tue committee was, Harris is I'LL right
But that wouldn't do. Harris must leave

i 4 carriage was ordered at an
alley, in the rear Of the hotel, and SnluggSlcd
through the back way unknown TO the crowd
When once in the carriage, the horse galloped
At top speed to TIC depot, arriving !utt TN IN

Here it will be seen that the committee and
even Sathans, his accuscr, were perfectly sat
isfed That Harris was not alntnabie to TUG
charges made against him; bCt the mob had
come determined to lynch him, anu Eoufu not
rest satisfied otherwise.

| SECESSION ESJoISED IN THE BIBLE.
Nc have heard men attempt TO prove a'mos
everything from the Bible. But the latest dis
coyery is that secession is cnjoincd bg Paul
We find this in South Carolina paper;
