THURSDAY MORNING JULY aa 1854.


Az ATRocIous OurRAoE-We learned
yesterday Of an outrage p%crpebaled by
a squad Of Van Dorn's cavalry part
Of his body gnard-in Williamson conn-
~, on the 10Th OF May last, which will
add to the infamy that already al
ready attaches 70 The name Of "rebel
cavalrymau." On that day eight of these
miscreants called al the house Of Mr..
Bigger, near Bethesda, II miles from
Franklin, and called for his son, w. i.
Bigger. Upon making his appearance.
they required him 10 90 with them. He
got ready to accompany them, and when
about to start, be asked q younger bro
Their for some tobacco, when n of the
rebels told him he "would not want to-
bacco long" They took him of, and in
the first grove they came to shot and
killed him. A number of balls struck
him, and he must have died Instantly.
Having thus brutally murdered him, they
took his horse and saddle and depssted.
Mr.. Bigger was in his 23d year-had
been. in the rebel army, but was dis
charged Oh account of feeble health.
What be was murdered for is left 10 con-
lecture. His murderers assigned no
cause. II seems TO have been a cold
blooded, wanton ast. lie has a brother
in Stokes Federal cavalry, whom he
visited al franklin, aud it is supposed
that this visit may have had something
TO do with the murder.
Bethesda is in a quiet, out of the way
section of country, where a Federal sol
der has never been seen, and IL cannot
be pretended that the murdSed man had
any thing 10 do with the Federal army.
Thus every day brings forth evidences
Of the wickedness and depravity of the
rebels. When the history of their mis-
deeds is written, the world will be
shocked.

A gentleman residing in the Western
suburbs, requests us to call attention to
a practice which has obtained there, of
a dangerous character; the discharging
of firearms At random. This has been
done so frequently OF late, that citizens
are in constant dread. His house has
been shot into, to the alarm of his family.
IL is not supposed that this use of fire.
arms ia made with a view 10 iniure any
one but Is the result Of cAreiessness and
thoughtlessnoss II is TO be hoped that
those who have INDUCED in the practice,
will abstain from il in future. Harm
may come Of IT, II would be well
enough for those having authority outside
of the corporate limits, TO look into the
matter.

A lecturer was dilating upon the pow
ers of the magnet defying any one to
show or name anything surprising its
power. A hearer demurred, and instanced
a young lady who, when young, used TO
attract him thirteen miles every Satur-
day.

We learn from a letter from Murlrees-
boro' that ON Friday evening, the 18th
inst, Capt. Israel c. Dill, Of the SD Reg't.
Ind. Volunteers, went put from Foster
vile, where the left wing was then sta
TONED, with a young man named Jon9s,
of his command, to procure some butter,
potatoes, &C. Since that time neither of
them has been seen. Search was made
on the subsequent day for them, and it
was ascertained they left a house at sun
set. The neighborhood is a bad one. II
is feared they have been captured or
murdered. Capt. d. is represented to
have been a flno officer, and his loss will
be deeply felt, AT the the time our cor
respondent wrote, the 10Th, aparty were
out IN search Of him, but with little hope
Of success.

UNFoRTUEATE.-We have before us a
letter from soldiers wife in Iowa to her
husband, a private in the 86th Illinois
regiment, in which she states that she
has been 30 unfortunate as TO lose her
humble dwelling by fire, in a manner en-
tirely unaccountable. She does not know
whether it was the result Of accident, or
the wicked work of any inotndiary. BY
this misfortune she is left without prop
er shelter for herself and children. Her
husband being in the army has not the
means TO send her, nor can he go home,
to put up another dwelling. His wife
and little ones muat therefore b de their
time, and trust to the aid Of her neigh
bors. This is but a stray incident of
the sacrifices which men in humble life
have made and are making, to serve their
country, and to preserve our freedom.
Il is but proper that whenever 8 case of
this kind transpires, something should
be done 10 relieve the sufferers. There
are hundreds benefited by the services
Of the soldier, who might make small
contributions mere tribe each-but
enough in the aggregate to afford sub
stantial relief. Let a beginning be made
in this case. If any Of our readers desire
to do something for this worthy soldier
and his family, they can send their con-
tributions to William A. Nagley, acting
Stewart, Ward 9, General Hospital No.
s, Nashville, Tenn. All soldiers in the
army, wishing to contribute to their re-
lief, will please hand their contributions
to the Chaplains of their regiment, who
viii also please forward them to Mr..
Nagley, as above directed.
