e6-"THE KIRKwooD OUTRAGE. -
The Gazette and other Vallandigham pa
> pors all over the country have been trying
To make a great deal of capital out of the
c large that murderous ASSAULT was made
on skiff load of little girls at Kirkwood,
on their return from the Pugb meeting at
st. Clairsvile and the Copperheads here
asserted that one of the girls--Nliss Wag-
gener-hsd died from wounds received on
that occasion. The Gazette last week an
nounced that the assailants we're about to
eput through, and declined to publish the
names of the guilty parties-for fear, doubt
hess, that they would flee the country. o.
Thuisday last four little boys were arrested
and lrought up from kirkwood before Esq.
Alexander, Of this place, although there
were plenty Of Justices, and good ones, Of
both parties, in the Immediate neighbor-
houd OF the outrage, where the witnesses
and parties all lived. The Court House
bell wasrung, the faithful congregated in
considerable numbers, and it was evident
that a big thing was to be made Of it. A
large number of witnesses were examined
for the State, including several of the little
girls. Some of the men saw three or four
little boys standing on the Rail Road track
and throwing what they took to be eggs and
Stones toward the skiff. Among the girls
examined was Miss Waggener, who was MT
struck at all. One Of the girls examined
was struck on the arm by something, but
she said it was MT either an egg or stone,
for it did mt hurt her any, and left no mark.
She supposed at the time it was little ap-
pie. She said that two other girls said they
were struck in the face, but neither of them
was hurt any and no marks were made
Neither of these two girls were summoned
as witnesses, aud nobody but these three
were struck, and there were no marks found
on the skiff indicating that it had been
struck by anything.
The little girls all testified canddly, and
showed by their manner of testifying that
they understood the whole thing as it really
was, foolish piece of mischief, perpe.rated
by few little mischievous boys, who had
slipped off from their parents to have little
fun.
The attorney for the State, finding moth
ing in the testimony on which to base an
argument, spent his time in abusing Lincoln
and the abolition party generally.
One of the little boys happened to have
witness with him "a Democrat, at that,)
by whom it was proven that he was not near
the Rail Road, and had nothing to do with
'throwing the apple cores; but thoy were all
bound over to Court, in bonds of $500 each
A pretty large number of the audience
had left the Court House before the attor-
ney for the State had finished his closing
argument, (he spoke till midnight,) aud got
together on the street, evidently fearing
that the great outrage was fzzling out |;
but when the decision was announced Il
leading Valandighammer ran out to the
crowd and announced to them, 1T 8 all
right. They re bound over to Court"
Thus ended the preliminary investigation
of this "great outrage.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1863-09-17

sa-We see by the papers, that the "fat
woman" George Z. Pugh, "the living
skeleton" Judge Thurman, and the "snake.
show man." are still holding meetings in
various places in the State. The Fat Wo.
man, represents the Democratic party in
the days Of its prosperity. The Giving
skeleton" personates it after it fell into the
hands of Vallandigham, Pugh, Thurman
Il Co., and tho Snake show" is simply a
daguerfeotype of the whole Copperhead
party Success attend the shows!

success are daily improving. Appearances
indicate that by vigilant effort we shall be
able this fall, with the soldiers vote, to de.

about the defeat Of Vallandigham, that is q
foregone conclusion, withom the soldiers

defeat Of Chambers, Patterson, & Co., his

united effort on your part and the work will
Be done for them also, without the soldiers
