a Gross OUTRAGE We have receIy
en- the iolowing particulars of mos
fragrant and unjustifable outrage con-
mitied by party OF soldiers at the sta
bleS of Messrs. Richardson & Britton OF
Wednesday evening, from Mr. Brittor
himself On the morning of that day, q
soldier hired a horse and buggy from
Mr. Richardson, saying it was for the
nse of an officer After noon Mr. Brit
ton was informed that three soldiers were
in the buggy and had just driven the
horse out Main Street He took horse
and followed them and, finding them at
grocery near the depot, reclaimed his
buggy and horse, the soldiers, however,
demurring, and one Of them threatening
10 shoot him there
After returning with the horse and
buggy to the stable, he found carpet
sack under the seat, which he set away
in the office to keep until the party come
to pay for the use of the horse and buggy.
In the evening, when all the men ex-
cept the proprietors were absent at sup
per, a Captain, accompanied BY some five
or six men, came to the stable and de-
manded the carpet sack
Mr. Richardson, who had been sick,
and was scarcely able to: attend to bust
ness, quietly told the Captain that he
would deliver the carpet sack when he
was paid for the use Of the horse and
buggy. The Captain swore he would
have the carpet sack, as it belonged to
one Of his men, and he did not care
whether the buggy hire was paid or not.
Mr.. Richardson repeated his purpose
to retain the sack until the buggy hire
was paid, whereupon the Captain made
an assault upon him, and was at once
joined by several of his men, and Mr..
Richardson was struck a number Of
times, but was not very seriously hurt,
until Mr. Britton, who had hastened to
his assistance, had succeeded IN getting
the parties separated, when one of the
soldiers threw a brick and struck Rich
ardson on the cheek, breaking the bone,
and causing very serious injury. Mr.
Briiton, having armed himself with
Ratchet, prepared to renew the attack,
when the soldiers withdrew. Mr.. Rich
ardsoa was about Yesterday, bnt was
suffering severely.
There can he but one opinion in re-
gard 10 this affair." if the above state
ment of the case, as it was narrated to
JUS By an eyewitness, is correct-and
that IS, that it was high-handed and
unjustifiable outrage, without a shadow
of mitigation or exclamation; and the
military authorities owe it to themselves
and to the orderly and well-behaved sol
diers in the city and vicinity, and to the
community, to arrest and punish the
guilty parties, or to turn them over to
the civil authorities for punishment
We are sure there are but few soldiers
in the Federal army who would engage
IN such conduct, and none, We believe,
who would be betrayed into such acts
when not under the influence OF mean
whisky.
We are always proud TO record the
Grave and noble deeds of our gallant
soldiers, hut such acts As these are alike
ignoble and disgrace ful.
