Horrible Negro Outrage.

We have heard OF several attempts by
negroes TO commit outrages upon white
women in this county, bu, have said MOTH
ing about them, because we were not for
nished with particulars, bul The one we now
relate is entirely reliable, having received
he information from MIR. John c. Craft
himself, who is a wealthy and respectable
citizen, of Redstone township, in this coun-
~. On The 26lh nit, after dinner. MIR. Craft
and his sons went out into the fields 10
work, and the hired girl went 10 a neigh
boris house, leaving Mrs. Craft, lady of
fif;y-six years Of age, alone in The honse =
About O'Clock P. NJ, negro man nnobz
served, entered The room where Mrs. Craft
was, and violently seized her declaring his
hellish purpose in the plainest and most
vulgar language and handling her in The
mos, brutal and savage manner OF whick
he was capable, tearing her clohe nearly
off, her cap off, and the hair out off her
head, choked severely, and bruised her
neck and arms very much
He finally relaxed his hold with one
hand which gave her partial libery, aud
she succeeded in getting hold OF butcher
knife and slabbing him with il in the left
hip, which cansed him TO release her, and
she made her escape and ran to the fed
to call her husband and sons, whom company
with their ueighborS, hunted the neghbor-
hood for several days but could not succeed
in capturing the villain or hearing anything
, ,,rh IL,
black, aud very large lips, and was 5ress-
ed in gray 70 oundabout and black hat
He So ore several times that :his was their
day, and they intended to make good use
OF i, and also said that ne had teen to Id TO
! 90 10 mat house aud do just as he pleased
Hopes are entertained that be may be dis
! covered by the wound in The left hip, ss the
| blood ran upon the floor before he got out
OF the house.
This negro is probably one OF the recent
ruuaways, or freedmen" !" from The South.
! They have been taught by The Abolitonisis
/ 10 expect the largest liberty in the North,
! and, accordingly, when they come, they
! proceed TO exercise their iancied rights in
( tue manner above described. Within the
| last two years there have heen very fre-
! quent onlrages OF this kind committed by
negroes owing 10 the fac, that the negro
! population OF the North has been greatly
: increased within thai time II the Aboli-
} iionists succeed in their scheme OF liberia.
! ting and letting loose upon US the whole
four millions of Southern slaves, these in
suiferahle outrages will bee one so frequent
that we shall be compelled 10 declare a war
OF eXlermiualion against the brutal and
beas;ly blacks. whom their friends, the Re-
pUbiicals, desire TO raise to an equality
with the white race, The white race must
and will defend itself, in whatever manner
NAV be necessary, against these a,rocious
results of Black Republicanism. II war
of races becomes necessary IN order to pro-
,ect our wives and daughters from these
hellish outraees, and our laboring men
from The runous competition OF the hotdes
OF negroes coming among Us, it will be re-
sored 10. and then-good- black man,
aud farewell (or fare bad) negro equality
advocates.
