FIENDfsH HOUTRAGE--The most diabolical
and fiendisd outrage which our duty has ever
called upon us to record, occurred IN this
county, near Peaks Mill, ou Sunday last.---
A gentleman who was present short time
after the occurrence OF the brutal outrage,
gives us the following facts In relation 70 the
affair: On Sunday last, late In the afternoon.
o young lady, daughter of Jno. Graves. Esq !,
of this county, returning from an errand from
d neighbor's house, was ovcrtAksn by . negro
man, who, after violating her person. added
murder to bis heilsh crime b. beating her on
the head with stone until he supposed life
was extinct. The approach OF two men,
named Hodges and Graham, alarmed the de-
mon, who made hasty retreat, but not 50
fast as to prevent recognition. Miss Graves
was conveyed to her iather's house, about
three hundred yards from the scene Of the
affair, where after lingering about an hour
she expired, never having spoken after being
discovered. The neighbor's soon assembled
and having found the negro, after de,ibera'
ting upon the matter, determined TO execute
him on the spot where the outrage was com
mitted, which was accordingly done. BY hang
ing the criminal to tree until he was dead
Under the gallows he confessed the Cline
but neither expressed nor manifested penit.
ence for the act. He cody requested that b
should be shot instead OF being hanged. Ths
negro was in charge Of Mr. Chas. Pearce
but not his property. rs we are informed.
While we must deprecate oil mob violence
we can very well understand how commit
nifty exasperated by such an outrage, commit
ted almost under their own vision should b,
moved 10 in6ict summary punishment upor
the offender, rather than 10 awsit the tardy
and in too many cases, uncertain process Q
law. The persons engaged in tho execution
were all ofthe highest responsibility. and .
mong the best and most orderly citizens Q
our county. Kentucky Hsomaa.

Tax or Newspapers.

This country has to raise some n on
ey. That is an evident proposition.
Well, we are loyal and will do all we
can to help. 1--WE can't get it out of
Gus head that the Abolitionists are the
cause Of the war and ought to pay the
expenses-still, we are willing to assist
them out.) We will give our share
more or less. Among other methods
proposed, is a tax on newspapers
quarter or half cent on each number
published. This would take out Of US
from 5000 to $400 a,year. Gould We
stand it2 We are willing to try. We
are not half as much afraid of tax as 9

Am Eyesore i'm the Report Of the
Auditor of State.

We notice among the disbursements
of the General Revenue Fund in the
Auditors Report, the sum of Twenty
Five thousand Dollars "to John W. AL
len for services securing grants of lands
to Ohio" This claim is known to be
swindle out and out, 1t had been
presented over and over again, to for
mer Legislatures, and always secuted
as barefaced fraud contemplated on
the Treasury; but the last Republican
Legislature, in consideration that Allen
is a prominent Republican, admitted
bis claim, and enriched MIN by the gift
of twenty-five thousand dollars Of the
peoples money. These Republican
leaders, take them as whole, are a
beautiful set Of scamps to rule over a
free and honest people. "How long,
oh Lord! how long" Logan Gazette.

harmonious reunion Of temporarily estranged

forgetful Of past dissensions, and solicitous
for the success OF those great constitutional
