Southern Outrages.

What government would sit supinely by
and permit such outrages upon its citizens in
foreign lands as are perpetrated upon Ameri-
cans every day at the South !?
The Chicago Journal reports that pro mi.
nent citizen of that city, a member of the
board of trade, went to New Orleans on the
I'd inst, on business, but was waited upon at
midnight at his hotel by members of the
Southern Protection Society,"" and ordered
to leave town Immediately. He had not said
word about slavery, and The only excuse
his prosecutors gave him for their conduct
vas that they had been informed by some
body that he had q brother in Missouri who
is an active Republican. The Journal adds
"Another gentleman, citizen of Cincin-
natl. who had gone down to New Orleans
with half million Of dollars to buy sugar,
was in like manner waited on and compelled
to leave, because, as they were informed BY
some person. he had a son who is in some
way connected with the Cincinnati Gazette
BLACK Republican sheet.
Our informant says that at the St. Charles
Hotel he saw subscription paper, on which
So 900 had already been pledged to secure
the assassination of Lincoln and Hamlin-
and that bets were freely offered that Lincoln
would never be president either of the whole
Union, or either section of it.
He also says that on his way Northward
through Mississippi, he saw two dead men
hanging on tree, and the people therea-
bouts being asked what it meant they replied
that they had been talking to niggers ) and
on being asked why they did not bury them,
replied they wouldn't bury any ID abo-
litionists on their soil'-would rather see 'em
rot"
The New Orleans Bee says that on the I'd
inst, an Irishman named Richard Lisson was
placed in the lookup in that city who had
been tarred and feathered and ridden on a
rail in the town of Handboro, Miss, by the
vigilance committee there, who have already
hung suspected abolitionist named Macin-
tosh, and have in Jail another named David
Magner. The committee sent Lisson on from
