y DIABoLICAL OUTRAGE.-The Ev-
ansville Journal records the following
infamous outrage:
"Much excitement was produced in this
city early yesterday morning by reports
that a crime heretofore, we believe, un-
heard of in this vicinity, had been perpc-
tratcd near this city. The facts as we
ascertain them arc about as follows:
"Abont six o clock. yesterday morning,
Il Mrs. Dullingcr, who lives somc distance
in the country, was on her way to the city
t. attend church. and when near the resi-
dence of Mr. f. j. Dobcll, she was
attacked by two negroes.
she being stout woman, about forty
five or fifty years of age, made for time
Il successful resistance, when one of the
brutes drew pocket knife and cut her sew
eral times severely in the face, neck and
shoulder. Growing faint from loss of
blood, she was overpowercd by the brutcs
and dragged across fence into corn
field, where her person was violated Ly
to kill her, but were frightened away by
hearing persons approaching.
The whole ncighborhood was quickly
aroused and turned out in search Of the
fiends In the meantime the half MUIR
dercd woman was conveyed home, and
physicians called to her assistance, who
reported her in critical condition.
"i)iHgent search was made fer the pcrpe-
traitors Of the horrid crime, and young
negro named Joe Coins was arrested by
officers .jcwett and Long, brought to town
and lodged in Jail, but it was not then
known that he was a participater in the
crime. Late in the afternoon the other
brute was POINTED out to Joe Wesboro and
his brother, BY negro boy, and WAS sy
them arrested and brought to town and
lodged in jail We were unable 10 learn
his name lie lived near Wesb0ros be-
yonl Pigeon Creek, near the railroad.
I'VE are informed that he made Il CON
fession of the diabolical crime, duplicating
the boy Joe. Upon searching him, the
knife was found, bloody and his clothes
were bloody, though he had made al effort
to wash the blcod from his shirt. There
were also found on his person razor,
the earrings Of their victim, which had
been literally torn from her ears, and over
81 in money The boy, we understand,
acknowledged getting 81 from the other
negro The amount of money taken
from the woman was about SIS.
"This revolving outrage has created
much feeling in the city, and the infa-
nous and british wretchcs will no doubt
receive, as they deserve, the severcst puu-
ishment of the law"
Are not such acts as the foregoing the
legitimate results of the teachings of the
press?

American name and people a shame and

reign of military necessity still continues,
while Stanton boasts, through the medium
of the Washington Chronicle, that he does
not propose to vacate his Office, with which
he IS we'll suited, and that President
johnson is also perfectly satisfied with the
manner in which he performs his duties.

The secret of passing events in Tennes-
see is fairly stated in the following extract
fron the Nashville Gazette of the Goth
instant; and what is true of Tennessee is
true of the other Southern States IN the
same relation:
I'VE take occasion to say that, in mid
die Tennessee ut least, there has been no
threat or apparent intention of returne4
rebel soldiers to metldle With the election.
They are behaving with the utmost mod
esty, and seem fully to recognize the pro
prlety of taking back scat for the pres
ent We have defod the radical press of
Nashville to produce the evidence ofany
purpose on the part Of returned rebel
soldiers to vote 'at the point of their
bowiehniycs' or to vote at ALL The am
nouncencnt that they (thc conservative
candidates. would disregard the laws oe
Tennessee was never made by any OF
them. The detcrminat Oh expressed by
rebels, whose hands are red with blood,
to vote for rebels never did wake up the
for there was never any such
expression.
This whole parade of intended fraud
and violence in the election has no other
foundation than in the purpose of . radical
Clique to conJure up a preteXt for sup
pressing the tey0t union rotc, which they
know TO be two to one against them
The franchise law is unpopular, and 50
are the men that made it. and 50 is Gov
ernor Brownlow-unpopular, not with rcb
els, who care nothin" about the election,
but with all the original unionists, who
have not subordinated the best interests of
society to their own petty schemes Of self,
promotion. But those WIN resisted the
strong tide of secession in l>0l have self
control enough TO bidc the time Of easy,
legal triumph over a temporary. rerishing
faction. We decline to accommodate them
with a sedition."

way to Nassau and Havana, from some
point on the Florida coast. lie was to
attend to some public busines at these
posts, and then rejoin the President in
transmission cia Matamoras and Texas

gla and Florida, on horseback, disguised
as a farmer in search of land, without ex-
citing or attracting attention, till he reach
cd the lower side Of the peninsula OF Flor
ada. lie was inlo, med no boats could be
found on the eastern coast, and went then
to the gulf shore, where, after a month
delay, he succeeded in getting a ship yard
boat and two men who were willing to risk
their lives upon the sea in it. The open
boat was about ID feet long, in which
they coasted the peninsula till they reach
cd one of the keys of Florida reef, where
they succeeded in procuring a boat some
what larger, in which they put to sea to
cross the gulf stream, and fortunately
reached Barnes upon the banks after
passage of sixty hours. On the 10th of
July, after an unsuccessful attempt to
reach Nassau, in which he was baffled by
head winds aud heavy weather, he
put back to Barnes, and on Friday, the
14th, the sloop foundercd thirty miles
from the nearest land. The vessel went
down SO rapidly that he with the crew,
had barely time to jump into a skiffin tow
of the sloop before she sank In this boat,
with light mast, sail and compass, and
only provisions of boiled rice which the
negroes had cooked for break fast, in this
leaky and overloaded boat, and having but
one oar, they mabe for land, and, as the
weather was calm and no vessel in sight,
by dint Of energetic sculling they easily
reached the light house. In vessel from
that point Benjamin reached Nassau and
Havana. His whole trip has occupied the
best part Of three months, out OF which
30 days have been passed at sea in mis-
cradle open boats.

"MILITARY JUSTICE. The war being
weeks, ard not man on earth being now
in arms to resist the authority of the
United States-we renew our prayer for
prompt, full, unequivocal restoration
of the privilege of Habeas Corpus, coup
led with clearing out Of our Military
prisons by the liberation of their inmates
or their rendition to the civil authorities
for detention, trial and punishment We
can imagine no good reason for the fur
thcr dominance of martial law in any STATE
north of the Potomac and Ohio.
We hear talk of more Court-Martials
for the trial Of other than persons in our
Military service, and we protest in ad-
vance against them. We have Courts
enough, and at least as fair chance for
justice with these as with any that can be
improvised out of our Army by an orde-
from the War Department. We do not much
care what Europe may say Of our juris-
prudence; we are only anxious that she
shall have no just cause for censure. If
any rebel has conspired to starve our sold
iers, or infect our cities with pcstilcnce, or
to do any act abhorrent to humanity, let
him be fairly tried for the crime; or if it
Is thought best to arraign some Of the
rcbeh chiefs for treason, 50 be it; but let
US deal with them according to law. 1t
will be a gficvous mistakc-an avowal Of
weakness-a blunder and folly-to hold
another Court Martial for the trial of 9th
er than military offenders belonging to
our own army. Such a Court can render
no verdict that will carry weight with it
in the judgment of impartial Christen-
dom-the fact that such tribunal is re-
sorted to will be trumpeted by thousands
as virtual confession that a fair trial
was not desired-its verdict Of guilty will
lie decided as preluding nj preparing
