A Brutal and Cowardly Assault.

On Monday evening last, in the Southwestern
part of town, occurred one of the most brutal and
cowardly assaults that We have ever been called
upon to record. The particulars as near as we cap
relate them are as follows: Last winter the
Younger son of widow Arnold, young of
feeble constitution and poor health, had some diff
Guilty, aboa. the payment for piece OF work, with
his neighbour. Peter Nauer, Germ m Cooper,
which ended in a kind of standing feud. On the
afternoon named it seems that Nauer, who is
very large and strong man possessed OF very VII
ci0ns and angry temper, but coward wthal,
sought bis chance for revenge. Fearing to meet
the frai by face to face he tilted until he should
90 to the pasture for his mother cows. Then by
circuitous route through some adjoining fields he
managed to get ahead of him and hid in ambush
in narrow lane the pasture, ana distant from
help. Here he laid until the young man, unsus.
pecting any danger, had passed him, when he
sprang up behind him and dealt him a terrible blow
on The side of his head with a club, which felled
him to the ground; this he followed with another
blow from the club, which struck him across the
forehead, breaking his nose and injuring him bad
". Then he sprang upon him planting his knees
in young Arnold's breast, and beat him with his
fist until he entirely senseless and most horri
bly, rnu.tilated. Not yet satisfied, or rs some sup
pose, fearing that he had killed him and wishing to
hide the crime, he dragged the body to the Rail-
road, and leaving it upon the track for the cars to
finish, which would soon be along, he fed for his
home by the same route he csme, thinking that no
one had seen his movements. After lying for

Tia Indian C)tt1n Trade.

Anticipating the possible effect of the close Of
the American war upon the production OF cotton in
the East Indies, som, of the Enslish iournIls are
figuring upon the results of the last four years. an
making an analysis ofthe conditions essential tu
continued success. They state that there i'm
ported by Great Brit lin in the last year more than
500, 100000 pounds of free labor cotton of which,
about 81, 6JO09) from India, AMI 30, 001 ,0J0
from Egypt, Turkey and other countries. The
increase OF supply from the British possessions in
the east is truly remarkable, tho receipts from the
three Indian presidcncies of Bombay. VI ,lris and
Bengal having amounted to 500,0OO,09O in the
year 1861, against only about 5S,0JO,000 in tho
year ISIS. and 300, 100000 pounds in 1860. Pc
gress has been steady, therefore, before the war
and since, under every variety OF condition, though
the great impetus impaired within the last
four years, bringing out labsr and capital in abun
dance, not only for the culture of the plant, but
for the construction of railways for tn. purpose of
transportation. The English manufactures are
prompted to believe that while it is not probable
the high prices for cotron realized tor some time
past will continue, prices will still range higher
than the average preceding the year 1860, and
that with the improved facilities enjoyed,
cotton from the East cIn be grown and brought
to market at handsome profit, in dcfince Of com
petion. While this my be true, the grand feet
still remains, and cannot be controvertcd, that the
choice grades of American cotton have no rival in
the world

Highway Robbery.

A German Painter, whose name no one here
seems to know, who has resided in this City fol
some time past, recently went to the State of New
York and obtained large sum of money. Two
persons there who became acquainted with that
fact, accompanied him back to this place under the
prctence of wishing to buy land. On Wednesday
evening of last week he started for the residence
of p. ]. Wykoff i'm Warrea Township about ten
miles distant for The purpose of closing a bargain
for the latter's farm. taking with him some
Sc 600. 1t is presumed he followed by the
two persons above referred TO. At all events
when he had got about six miles rom this City he
was attacked by two men, knocked down, gagged
with big stick tied in his mouth, and bound hand
aud foot with strips cut from his linen coat, and
his money taken. In this condition lac lay all
night on the ground exposed to heavy ,rai
storm, but in the morning he managed to crawl to
the nearest residence, still bound and gagged, and
where he still remains, being severely injured. A
package of 500 was picked up on the ground
where he was knocked down, but no clue has We,
been obtained as to the rest of the money the

BurglarIV.

The County Treasurer's Office, in this city was
entered on Friday night last. or Saturday morn
ng by one. more burglars, the iron 81 fe brok
open, and some thirty or forty dollars in moucy
stolen. The burglars broke the fastening of the
back window of the Treasurer's Office, raised the
window and entered the office. 1t appears by the
marks of burnt powdsr about the lock Of the safe
that the burglars attempted to burst the door open
by putting powder in the key hole and igniting it;
but probably did not succeed in getting enough
powder in the lock to break it. They then drove
an iron spike through the outer iron plate Of the
door, making hole an inch in diameter. Into
this hole they poured powder. and probably insert
ed fuse which they iSnited, and retired out of
harms way to avail. the event Of explosion. The
result tina. the safe door broken in pieces,
and the contents Of the safe exposed to their pill
fering fingers. The safe is a small one, and
has never been regarded as a secure place
to keep money to any large amount Some thirty
or forty dollars in the safe, which the burg
lars took, perhaps very much disguised with the
poverty of the Laporte County Treasury. There
were two bags containing between thirty ind forty
dollars in coppers in the Treasures Office, which
the burglars found and carried far as the window
and then left them. The robbery it is su opposed
was committed between one and two O'Clock, as

The Republican is out in favor OF negro suffrage
Just as We expecied.-Den.
The Democrat is opposed to negro suffrage for
the that it is afraid The black man, If he has
half chance, will rise higher in the scale of mo-
rality and intelligence than the mass Of the De-
mocracy, and we acknowledge that its fears arc
not without grounds Is it just or right TO ask the
negro TO fight for the Government and then refuse
to allow him to have any voice in the government
Of the country he has helped TO saver The preiu-
dice against negroes exists no where to such an
extent as in this country. In Canada, where SO
many Democrats lately sought refuge from the
draft and Provost Marshal, the negro enjoys all the
political rights accorded to white citizens and thi:
is the case, we believe, in all, or nearly all tic en-
Iightened countries of Europe. Has an, great
evil resulted in Canada from allowing the eyro to
sit on jurics, give evidence in court and vote In
the great and enlightened States of New York
Massachusetts,, Maine and New Hampshire the
negro is entitled by law to vote, and we believe
the machinery OF civil government moves along
as smoothly in those States as it does in Indiana
nor do We lear Of any cases of amalgatior
there than in Indiana or Iinois,-not near as M.
nv as in Kentucky aud other recent slave States
where the negro has been enslaved, and his mind
az we'll as his limbs chained and fcttered, so that
was impossible for him to elevate himself If he
would. God bore with US long and patient V, but
at last brought upon us the scourge of long. dc
vastaging and bloody civil war for our tyranny
and oppression of weak and feeble class. Shall
we further provoke His ire and wrath by injustice
and wrong TO this same classl Nations as well as
individuals, to enjoy the favor and appreciation of
God, must love mercy and act Justly toward all.
otherwise He will overthrow them, and those they
despised and oppressed may become their rulers
and masters.
This Is prolific theme, but We have not time or
space to discuss the subject at length now. We
aware that in advocating the political rights of
the down trodden and oppressed black man, we
shall encounter the prejudices of many good men
and especially of cur political opponents. who will
not fail to appeal to those prudces besides char
ging Us with being in favor Of amalsamation of the
white and black races, negro equality, etc.. etc,
for political effect; bnt the question has to be met
sooner or later, and now is as good time as any
The Democrat is opposed to a black mau with
awhile, loyal heart having the privilege of voting,
but has not the least objection to white man with
black, disloyal heart, with hands red with the
blood of loyal men, exercising that privilege

in parts of Fulton, Cas-, and Miami counties, tn,
wheat is already badly injured by the weevil and

be totally destroyed. We hive examined the

be failure from this cause, but We know the
