HoRRID OUTRAGE ON YoUNG LADY,
Never in our life, says the Milton \. c.
Chronicle, did we feel called upin to record
a more brutal, tendish and shockiug out
rage than the one that was perpetrated on
the person of Miss Bella Brandon, a fair
and beautiful girl Of Is or IL years Of age,
and daughter Of Thos. Brandon, Esq, (neur
the Red lIouse,) in this county, on yestcr-
day morning. just before day. Il seems that
same iucarnatc devil entered her room and
knocked her on the head senscless with Il
skillet that two black girls, who siep: in the
room, had been using that night to stew can
dy. Her throat, we learn, bears marks Of
choking, but this is street rumor; we cannot
get authenticated particulars farther than
those narrated, except that she is not ex-
pec;ed to live, and lies perfectly senseless,
bleeding at the mouth and ears. We under
stand that the noise awoke the servant girls,
who sprang up when some one ran out the
house. Suspicion rests upon one Of Mr.. BIS
negro men. IF the wretch is discovered
such is the public feeling that we doubt if
the law ever reaches him.

The Washington Constitution states that
Major Anderson's action in the removal OF
the Uoitcu States troops from Fort Moultrie,
&c, was taken solely on his own RESPONSE
bility, and not in consequence OF orders from
the authorities in Washington. Ii was not
accustomed by any threat Of attack or hostile
action OIL the part of the people or military
in Charleston, and there was no reason to
anticipate any change in their attitude in
relation to the Federal troops.

Is it rational TO remain in the clumbHnq
