The Cleveland leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1865-1865, 1865-05-18

Ioyal Southern woman will deliver lecture
this (Thursday) evening in Chapin's Hall,
detailing her experience in Seceshdom.
She resided in Texas during the first years
of the rebellion, and, in common with the
Union people of the South, suffered almost
unheard-of persecution. When the conflict
vaxed fercer than she could endure, she
left home with a young brother and her
three small children, and set out for the
North star, little expecting ever to reach
the Northern States. But kind provi
dence directed her steps, and she has been
enabled 10 render valuable service to the
Union cause. She csnvsssed Indians dur
ing the fall campaign. She has lectured
here and there, East and West, and comes
to us highly recommended by Governors
Brough, Oglesby, Morton, Yates, and many
distinguished men.
We clip from an exchange the following
notice of this heroic lady:
Mrs. Walling, we take pleasure in sta
ting, is Dot like Wendell Phillips, Miss
Anna Dickerson, and many others who,
beforeour late Presidents death, denounced
been q consistent supporter of his admins
traaion. During the late Presidential can
vass she was an efficient and successful
speaker. On the very night of the asssas-
sinatiou, when the nation was pouring
forth iUdescribable joy, Mrs. Walling de-
Scribed a beautiful lecture at Piqus, to
large and enthusiastic audience, and in
which she remarked, "0ur dear President,
were it possible since the time of Christ,
the Savior of all nations, and Of his apostles,
for q man to be too good, the savior OF the
nation is the man. Ny belief is, that at
the close of this bloody conflict, the bright
ness or brilliancy of his career will even
leave Washington in the shade. Traitors
mention time when he did not bring
true heart equal to the stupeudous task
before him." We have not time enough to
do justice to this distinguished lady, but
this We do say, we cordially welcome the
Texas oratress to our city.
Mrs. Walling's experience is rare, and
she will furnish those who will visit Chap
in's Hall, no ordinary treat. We hope our
citissns will help and encourage this estim-
able lady and honor themselves by largely
attending her lecture this evening.
A DANNING 0UTRAGE.-A man, who is q
stranger to all parties concerned, as well as
to the police now on his track, went yester-
day to German living near the city,
whose name we will not mention, and hired
his daughter, lass fifteen years of age, to
do light work in his garden. As there was
nothing out of the way in the transaction
such affairs being customary among the
Germans, the parents of the girl allowed
her TO 20, aHd thought nothing further of
it, until the child came dragging herself
home, half dead, several hours afterwards.
This brute, instead of taking her to his
garden, decoyed her along the Lake
Shore Railroad, and when about three miles
from the city, bore of into piece of woods,
and there raVished the child. He drew q
large knife, with which he intimidsted
her, presenting it to her breast, and threat
ening to kill her if she offered any resist
ance, or made the matter known.
The girl was in an awful condition when
she resched her home. The police were
Immediately notified of the case, and it is
to be hoped that the villain will soon be
caught and made to suffer as he deserves.
