CANTON, September 10, 1868.
Lieutenant Allen, OF Logsu's command, a
gallant young msU, who has already lost an arm
in the service Of his country, has been winning
fresh laarels. Being en- a scout with 8 smsll
nanbsr Of men, 10 dashed into the town Of
Rodney, last Sunday, and surrounded : church,
esptured the captain, = lieutenant and thirteen
men, Of ths gUaboat Rather. Threats we're
made by the Yankees about burning the town,
in retaliation for this cruel set of war, bat Lieut..
Allen informed them that he had not yet turned
over his prisoners, and that if tho town was
burned they would hang. The town did net
burn.
Some graphic accounts of late outTages IN the
SHnAower region hsvs come to light. Twenty
s3vea negroes, holn Hsiass' bluff, murdered four
cilzsns, whose names have been already report

an accomplished young lzdy, whose name 1
forbear to mention. Do not doubt the fsct on
that account T. IS bopelessly true. How many
other sels Of the same Kind we're committed,
which the unfortunate sufferers conceal from
their ~neigbbors, IS I hide from The public the
name Of the poor gTl whose sad ease is reported
70 me, God o ly knows. Doubtless very many.
