NEWSPAPERS One HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
ANY one who will look over file of London
newspapers, OF the reign of George H., will
be astounded at the frequency with which
crimes OF violence were committed. Traitors
were hung, drawn and quartered; burglary,
forgery, horse-stealing, sheep-steaiing, and al
most every kind OF robbery, were punished with
death. Shop-liflers, when not hanged, were
branded or whipped. 1t was common thing
for twenty prisoners 10 receive sentence OF death
at one session of a criminal Court, and for halt
of them TO be actually executed. At the same
time, crimes OF violence were the great staple
OF news, and the papers teemed with horrors
Highway robbery was SO common, was pursued
with so much courage, skill and success, as a
kind Of liberal profession, We read OF gangs
of robbers, of the robbery of noblemen within
sIght of the dome of St Paul's, of the murder of
women for few shillings, of the most atrocious
midnight butcheries. In the column of a news
paper which records several such deeds, we find
it stated that at the Lent Assizes," in the year
l774, one hundred and forty-sx persons we're
sentenced to death, OF whom very few were
convicted OF any of The few crimes for which
man is now put TO death.

several Of the Zouayes were cut down in the

Woman Whipping in Memphis.

Memphis. Teun., for month, for writing q
letter to the ". Y. Tribune, and made his
escape by bribins one Of the keepers, gives
the following account OF the whipping Of n
Northern woman, which he witnessed:
"while here, I was frequently an eye wit

ity Of man TO de,ise-Outriges 50 entirely at

improbable but impossible to have been COM

in any other portion Of the South, or among
purely Southern men, such acts would DO toll

which have almost frozen the blood in my
veins, and aroused vengeance blood only

ing hostility which cannot be eradicated I'M
tia retribution as righteous as just shall
have been visited upon every man who has
been u participant in such demoniac pleas

daily occurrence. and the evidence OF every
man in Cairo connected with our army viii
corrborate my statement-that moro than
eighty-6ye men have had their heads shaved,
and their backs lacerated by the knout since
the middle Of last April. More than that
number have found their way to Cairo. and
are now waiting an opportunity TO return
and inilict summary punishment upon the
neople of that doomed city. To this | had
almost become accustomed, and looked every
morning for the perpetration OF such outra-
res. But even this had not prepared me Tor
what I had 10 witness before left their pris-
on. In oil my iinaginingsl never dreamed
that in any moment OF excitement there
could DO found. in any portion OF this land,
one single man who would DO base enough
and fend enough TO lay the lash upon the

Incredible as IL appears, il was done in the
city OF Memphis on the 10th Of May. The
victim was young. beautiful. refined and
accomplished lady who had resided there for
one year. Her offence was being from Maine,
and expressing too loudly her wishes for the
success Of our troops.
She purchased tickle, Tor Cairo, and Il
appears was congratulating herself upon soon
reaching land Of liberty. when an officer
by tho name Of Thurman. arrested and
brought her 10 the Jail. She was confined
all night, and in the morning ahout6 o'clock
she was brought in front of the rear door Of
the Jail Tin the yard. } and after three men had
been whipped with the knout. and their head,
shaved, she was stripped to the waist, and
thirteen laslles given her with strap, and
tho right side Of her head shaved. The
wretch who did the whipping Is named John
