FIENDISH OUTRAGE IN WASH
lNGTON COUNTY.
Abduction Of Beautiful Young
Lady.
From the Springfield Oll.) journal.

From the Springfield Ill.l Journal
A private letter from lady at Rich
view, Washington county, in this State,
gives the particulars of most mysterious
outrage which was perpetrated at the res
idence of Mr.. NJ. A. Linton, residing about
four miles from Richvew, on the night Of
the 9Th inst
The writer states that party of thir-
teen men, disguised 10y handkerchiets tied
over the lower part Of their faces, and
armed with navy revol"ers, presented
themselves at Mr.. Linton's house about
half past two O'Clock at night and demand
ed admittance. On being refused they
threatened to break down the door. The
spokesman of the party was recognized as
man who had taken supper at Mr.. Lin
tons the same evening under pretenee of
having lost his way to Hayleton, the next
town.
On being admitted the party demanded
Ginerva, daughter of Mr.. Linton's by a
former marriage, beautiful and amiable
girl of sixteen years of age, who had Just
returned home from boarding school in
Ohio. She having run down stairs to see
what was the matter, was seized by three
ruffians and told that she must go with
them, dead or alive. Her father being
totally unarmed was powerless to defend
her. The girl was dragged to her room
and after being allowed to dress herself,
was forcibly carried to buggy and driven
off. As she was borne out at the door,
she turned towards her father, raised her
hands and exclaimed "Oh God"
A party of eight men were left to guard
the house till daylight, to prevent any
alarm being given. During tie night they
paced around the house, knocking at the
door, looking in at the window, rafting
the glass, and haunting the wretched in
mates by asking how they liked evening
calls, &c. No clue has been obtained
to the abductors, or to the course taken
by them, although stranger whom Mr.
Linton met at a store in Richvew the
same day is suspected to have been one of
them. Another statement is to the effect
that woman who had been prowling
around the neighborhood for some time
past was one of the abducting party.
Mr.. Linton is Quaker by profession,
and it was well known that he was I'M
armed.
For some time past a perfect reign of
terror has prevailed in the region referred
to above. It vas within few miles of
the same neighborhood Cat Ashley that a
number of robberies were perpetrated re-
Gently, Of which we gave some account a
couple of weeks ago.

Death of Andrew Levering.

We are panied to announce the death
Of Lieut.. ANDREW LEvER1NG, at Sioux
City, Iowa, on the 18th inst, after a brief
attack of lung fever. Mr.. LEvER1Ne was
an officer of the First Minnesota, but
for nearly a year had been member of
Gen. SULLY's staff, and participated in the
campaign of the latter against the Indians.
He was, We believe, native of Philadel-
phia, and was graduate of University
College Of that city. He pursued theo-
logical studies at the Baptist Theological
Seminary at Newton, Massachusetts,, and
was subsequently ordained and installed
as pastor of Baptist Church at Pottsville,
PENNSYLVANIA. His ministrations, we be-
lieve were acceptable to his people, but for
some cause, of which we are not informed,
he gave up his profession and in 1854 or '55
migrated to Minnesota, where he engaged
in the business of buying and selling lands,
on his own account, and for others, with
the varying fortunes which have usually
attended real estate operations in a new
country. At the breaking out of the re-
bellion he entered with enthusiasm on the
work OF raising the first company of the
first regiment from Minnesota, and bis
name, we are assured, stands first as a
private on the roll of the Pioneer Guard.
which subsequently became company A.
of the First Regiment. He fought in the
ranks bravely in most of the battles in
which the regiment was engaged.

Volunteering More Lively.

The morning report of yesterday showed
that 631 men for the Second Cavalry were
at Fort Smelling. Two full companies will
arrive at the Fort to-day or to morrow.
The recruiting lieutenants report that vol
unteering has received lively impetus
within a few days. The Adjutant General
thinks the regiment will be filed to the
maximum before the time expires for the
payment of the high bounties. Henry
Rugg Of Blue Earth has been commission

The Herald's Presidential Candi.
dates.

The New York Herald, with character
istic modesty, gives leader on its Presi-
dental candidates. The article is written
to enlighten Mr.. GREELEY upon the politi-
cal history of the country, on account of
some mistakes into which that gentleman,
in the Heralds opinion. has fallen. It
says:
1t is from pity for the Tribune philosopher
that we now take the trouble to repeat what all
the rest of the world knows Greeley had
always been the object of our tenderest interest
and compassion; and, since the unkind fates
have placed him in an editorial position, for
which he is utterly incompetent, we will again
give him the benefit of our knowledge and ex-
perience, so that he may avoid any such stupid
blunders in the future.
Wisely or unwisely, Mr.. GREELEY assert
ed that the Herald's embraces shave
always been destruction to the unfortunate
candidate upon whom it forced its favors. p"
Hence issues forth the following beam Of
light, generously striving to illustrate the
darkness of the whey faced philosophers
intellect. II must be read without a
smile:
We began our political life about forty years
ago. In 1926 we nominated jackson and CAL
hOun, with Van Buren, for the succession, in a
paper published in this city, and called the
National Advocate. Our articles attracted uni
versal attention, and-Greeley to the contrary
notwithstanding-Jac and Calhoun were
elected two years afterwards. In 1882 we adj
vocated the denomination of jackson; and it
may surprise Greeley to learn that jackson was
reelected. In 1886 we brought out Van Bu-
rem, far in advance of the politicians and, al
though Greeley knows nothing about 1t, still
it is a history fact that Van Buren, was elected
President. In 1910 we excited tremendous
popular enthusiasm for Harrison, and elected
him in spite of the politicians, who revenged
themselves by boring him to death in q month.
This may be strange to Greeley; but it is true,
nevertheless. In 1914 we supported Polk; and
if Greedy has any memory at all he will recol-
lect that Polk was elected. We nominated
Gen. Taylor long before the next election came
off; and if Greeley will consult any standard
history of the United States he will learn that
Gen. Taylor was elected in 1910. The politi-
clans killed him, as they killed Harrison. In
1852 we gave our support to Pierce, and per-
haps Greeley may remember that Pierce was
elected by a tremendous majority. We are
sorry to add that Pierce was great failure as
a President. He would not have been so had
he taken our advice; but he was very foolish
and very ungrateful, and he hath his reward.

The Overland Expedition to the
Missouri River.

We learn from Col. Crooks, of the Sixth
Regiment, that he has received letter
from Capt. WHITNEY, of his Regiment,
who was with the expedition for convey
ing supplies for the Indians on the Missouri
river at Fort Lookout. The expedition
was expected to arrive at Fort Ridgley
yesterday afternoon, and we are gratlfled
to learn, that of the escort, consisting OF
$50 men, infantry, of the Sixth Regiment,
not one has been lost, not one has died,
or been even sick; and of the 800 yoke of
oxen employed in the expedition. only one
yoke broke down.
All the rest were at the end of the jour
ney, in fine condition. Their provender
was dry prairie grass, and eight pounds of
corn meal per yoke per day. The dis
lance from the starting point beyond
Mankato to the place of destination on the
Missouri river, as measured by an odometer,
is 2sO miles. The road is excellent, and
there are bridges across the Sioux and
James rivers, the only large streams on
the route.
This information is of the greatest i'm
portance, when viewed in connection with
the projected communication between St.
Paul and the gold fields of Idaho Terri
tory, which lie directly west of our city,
confirming the well-founded belief of
intelligent explorers, that the best route
on this continent from the greatest CEN
tres of its populations to the exhaustless
mineral districts of the Rocky Mountains
is, for winter or summer travel, by the way
of our Head Water city.

Second Regiment Coming Home.
Eight Companies Re-ehllsted.
Adjutant General MALMRos received
yesterday the following dispatch from
Lieut.. COL ]. W. BISHOP, commanding
the Second Minnesota:
CHATTANOOGA, Dec. %, 1863.
To Adjutant General MALMRos:
Eight companies have re-enlisted. Expect
us home on furlough soon.
j. W. BISHOP,
Colonel Commanding Second Minnesota.
The following is the Adjutant Gener-
ais reply to the above:
ST.. PAUL, Dec. 25, 1868.
Col. j. w. BISHOP, Second Minnesota Tolun-
teers, Chattanooga, Tenn:
The State will be happy to welcome your
brave boys home. Please do your best to have
your muster-in rolls forwarded at the earliest
practical moment, so that the men who have
re-enlisted may be credited on the next draft.
OSCAR MALMROS,
Adjutant General.
If the muster rolls are received in sea-
son, all the re-enllstments in the Second
Regiment will be credited to the towns
where the men belong, on the pending
drafA If the rolls are delayed, an equal
number will be released after the draft
shall have taken place. 1t is understood
that the men OF the Second will receive
furloughs of thirty-fve or forty days,
which will not give them much time to
spend at home, after deducting the time
necessarily expended in the journeys both
ways. They should, and doubtless will,
receive hearty welcomes from the people
of the State.
We have seen statement in a New
York paper that the First Regiment had
re-enlisted, but no official notice of their
action in this regard has been received by
the State authorities.

BRIGHAM IoUNG.-A correspondent of the y.
Y Evening Post furnishes an interesting sketch of
life among the Mormons. lie thus speaks of Brig
ham Young -
L found President Young an agreeable, afable
gentleman, apparently not over f~orty-fve years of
age. although he is really upwards of sixty. He
was disposed to converse upon any and all subjects
very freely. The treaty with Japan he regarded
at first "a a failure, and the character of the en-
bassy which visited the United States has served
TO confirm that belief. The war, he thinks, will
continue until 4 great part of the North and
South Is used up, or. to speak more plainly, till all
are annihilated, when the I. Saints = will be the
people TO occupy the country In peace. The
desolation caused by the war he regards as the
judgment OF the Lord for the persec lion OF the
Saints. Brigham was disposed TO give any infor-
nation concerning his theatre. temple and taber-
nacle, and about his other public buildings. The
ventilating of his private sehoolroom, where his
own children, numbering some sixty, are educa-
ted, appeared 70 bea favorite subject of CONVERSE
ton. The ceilings of these rooms are eighteen
feet high. ventilated from the tops of all the win
dows. His own resdences-there are several
buildings-are large and airy, with double doors,
and ceilings twenty orthirty feet in height. One
large building is principally occupied by his wives.
Brigham sleeps alone and eats his meals alone.
Whenever he wants one of his wives he sends for
her. 1t Is not uncommon to see three or four of
his wives al church sitting together, and general
ly dressed alike. 4 dozen or fifteen children are
ABOUT ms premises al play at all times, apparent
ly happy enough. Brigham Young, junior, a son
about twenty-five years old-a pretty fair chip of
the old block-has just returned from Europe.
whittier he was sent on a mission. Whilst there,
he visited most of the countries and places of in
terest, being supplied with as much money as he
wanted to spend.
Brigham's last wife was rather an interesting
young lady, the daughter of Mr.. Folsom. 1t is
asserted by the Mormons that the most perfect
harmony and good feeling prevails among the
wives of the . harem,' but l have positive infor-
nation which shows this to be false.
People visiting Salt Lake are watched in their
movements the same as they would be if they
were known TO be murderers or incendiaries;
strangers never converse except in q low tone. so
that they cannot be heard off the sidewalks. The
spy system here is equal TO that in Vienna or
Paris. Men and women are frequently found
curled up under the fence inside the yard to lis
ten to people passing along the streets. Men
have been known TO come and listen under the
window of strangers, when lights have been seen
at what they considered unusual hours. To re-
port anything to Brigham to attract his attention
would be accounted a good work.
