7 1ittle County .JournaIs.

Very often men are heard sneerihg at
little 'county papers," as being no advant-
age to the localities in which they are pub
lished-as, in fact, of no more utility than
the fifth wheel of coach. Such remarks,
however, are uttered thoughtlessly and
without reflection, besides being illiberal to
the enterprise of publishers, whose business
is too often less remunerative than any In
the community. The printing office and
village journal Little though 1t be--are as
indispensable adjuncts to the growth, pros
perity and fame of a county town, as al
most any other branch of business that can
be named. For an important district in
these United States to be without its local
newspaper, is to remain in Obscurity. un-
known to the world at large. Property
owners and business men. in localities
where newspapers are published, derive
benefit from the existence OF a local press

A Brutal Outrage.
From the Memphis Bulletin. July ls.l

From the Memphis Bulletin, July l3.l
A Mrs. Annie Mason, residing in the vi
cinity of Court Square, while passing
through by street in the southeastern SUI
burbs of the city, early last evening, on her
way to make arrangements for the renting
of a residence in that quarter, was met and
confronted by two men, each with can
teen of whisky, who invited her to drink,
and on her refusing, and attempting to
pass, seized and forcibly carried her into a
grove some distance off, robbed her of all
the money she had, tore her clothing almost
entirely from her person, bound her to a
tree in an upright position, and then COM
menced the hellish work of violating her
person, repeatingit number of times, and
uuelling her cries by blows and curses. Be-
tween each act of violating, the person of
the unfortunate women, those fiends in hu-
man form sat near by, drinking and cursing
in the most heartless and Indifferent manner.
Towards midnight they departed, leaving
their victim still bound to the tree, and in
sensible. She remained in this condition
all night, and early this morning was dis
covered nearly dead, by woman passing
near the scene of the outrage, who gave
notice to the authorities, by whom she was
removed to one of the hospitals and ten
derly cared for. On regaining her con-
sciousness, she made deposition, which led
to the arrest OF one Hugh Burns, whom she
Immediately identified as one of the par
ties. He denied any completely in the af-
fair, but was sent to Irving block to await
the result of further investigation. The
other rufflan is still at large, but a careful
description of him is in possession of the
authorities, and he will, in all probability,
be speedily arrested. Mrs. Mason, at the
hour of writing, was in a hopeless condi-
ton from the injuries sustained, and her
death is momentarily expected. She is
about thirty years ofage, widow, and has
one child, girl aged about eight years.
She has always borne an exemplary char

captured. However great the disappoint-a
ment may be, vet much has already peeii,
and much more will be accomplished bg
those army corps now, as we believe, still
north of the Potomac. Pennsylvania lies
before those corps, and invites foraging on
the largest scale. a raid by forty odd
thousand men, sweeping through that
State, destroying railroads, seizing horses
and cattle, and carrying retaliation to the
very hearthstones of the people of PENN
sylvania, would cultivate into most
fruitful harvest the already sown seeds
of peace. We know nothing of the or
ders under which that army is acting,
and the secresy observed among our
people, which has denied to all the least
Knowledge OF the expedition, cannot be too
highly commended; but It would be par
Iticularly gratifying to our injured and
plundered people to know that the enemy's
system ofwarfare had been carried to their
doors, and that they were being made to
feel some of the injuries they have inflicted
upon our country. This will be the case,
unless Pennsylvania is made to feel the sys-
tenn of warfare instituted and carried out
by the armies Of the United States. They
are entirely Indifferent to the losses inHict-
ed on Maryland, for they, regard her as Of
us, if not with us. The "act of vandalism"
which burned the residence of Montgome-
ry Blair did not inflict any greater injury
than. that of Sheridan's men when they
burned the magnificent residence OF Mr..
Boulware, or the humble cottages of many
hundreds of our poorer people. The mag
nanimity that spared the residence of Ftp.
Blair was entirely thrown away upon a
creature as deeply dyed with the blood Of
this war as any other of his fellow scoun-
drels. All the hospitality" ever enjoyed
from its owner has long since been wiped
out in the red blood of the brave. Wecan-
not appreciate such magnanimity to such a

Another Outrage.

One of the most atrocious and unjustifi-
able outrages committed by military usur-
patton during the war, is the arrest OF Mr..
Lewis Baker, proprietor of The Wheeling
Register, and one of the editors of The ONO
STATESMAN. Mr.. Baker and his partner Mr..
Long, were arrested by the negro-maniac
General Hunter for no other offense
than stating the fact that Gen. Hunter
had cow-hided q white man who en-
deavored to compel negro to let him
ride, in General Hunters late skedaddle
through Virginia. Mr.. Baker is confined
in military dungeon in Wheeling, and is
forbidden all intercourse with the outer
world, even not being permitted to see his
wife. When will these disgraceful out
RACES upon PERSONAL liberty cease? Certain
ly not until Lincoln and his fellow despots
are ousted from high places by an outraged
people through the instrumentality of the
ballot-box. God speed the time.-Madison
