THE NHoRo OUTRAGE AT BowLIxa GREEx.-W,
briefly mentioned the facts in the case Of q rescue
OF prisoners from the Sheriff of Montgomery coun.
", ut Bowling Green, in yesterdays DISPATCH. We
have since learned that the Sheriff had two negroes
in charge, convicted of murder, bringing them "a
the Penitentsry in this city. Upon arriving at
Bowling Green, where they have to change cars,
the negro soldiers at that place collected ia force
and oyerpowering the Sheriff, took from him the
two negro convicts. The shackles were removed
by the mob and the negroes set at liberty. They
also abused and assaulted the Sheriff. We sincere
hope that the proper authorities will investigate
this outrageous violation Of law at once, and bring
the guilty parties to justice.-Nash DispateA

aged about yehrs--sOn of A. B. Harrison, Of this
city.

In this county, September 3oth, after a short i'll

Alsbrook.
1t indeed seems hard to yield up little ALLIE, one
so lovely, around whom. 90 many fond hopes
clustered, and who gave such bright promise OF
future usefulness and JOY. But when we reflect
upon the wisdom and mercy Of God we know that
He is too wise and good to send affection which
will not ultimately prove beneficial.
Then let us bow in humble submission to His
will, believing that "He wounds but to heal" The
bud has been snached from the parent stem, but it
blooms in far greatly beauty and newborn loneliness
in the garden of eternal bliss and will never die or
fade away at MONDAY. What a happy exchange
her bright spirit has made. In this world, groans,
tears, and anxious forebodngs would have been
her inevitable lot but all these have been succeeded
by the glories of an eternal morn. ALLIE has
added another tie TO heaven. She has gone to
Jesus to whom she prayed SO often during her
| illness.
We loved her much and still her name
/ Shall have our purest earthly love;
Till death transfers the hallowed fame,
To Surn in brighter worlds above.
At Moores Hotel, on the morning of the 10th
inst, Mrs. oLIvA KIRBY, wife Of W. ". Kirby, Of
this city, aged 20 years.
We cannot content ourselves with the simple
announcement of this lady's death. Just five
months ago in all the beauty and healthfulness Of
fresh womsnhood, she left her childhood's home, a
young and joyous bride; twas in the pleasant
month Of May-and she in the may Of life--the
one bespoke joyous year-the other, years Of hap
piness. To-day she goes back to that homo with
slow and solemn march, wrapped in the trsppingS
OF the tomb. Then, the earliest flowers Of spring
decked her hair-now, the latest roses Of summer
are whitening Ger her lifeless breast. The May
time breezes that famed her then, have not been
replaced by winters BREATH already the
mournful winds Of Autumn are singing requiems
DER her earthly bed and mourning sadly her early
loss. IT'S hard to reconcile ourselves 10 the death
Of one SO young-to the giving up of life so dear
to others and so plentiful OF happy promising.
But the angel Of death
-" reaps the bearded grain at q breath
And the flowers that grow between
His coming. however, did not surprise her; she
knew of his approach and patiently waited the
closing scene. Her calm and painless death was a
fit ending to gentle and blameless lfe-twas as
undisturbed as the quiet setting OF summer sun.
Alasl how soon
The things of earth We love most fondly, perish
Why died the flower our hearts had learned to
| cherish2

nsA. 1t is said Judge Trigg has decided that Con-
federate soldiers who pressed property by order Of
their officers, are liable for the value Of the same
because they knew they were acting in violation
of law. Upon the same principle, every soldier
who fought battle may be tried for murder, or as
accessory before the fast because killing man is
in violation of law. We see no discriminating
points between the cases; nor can we see why
Gen. Butler, on the Federal side should go unwhip,
of justice if the rule of law laid down by Judge
Trigg be the true Interpretation. Justice makes no
distinction between the conqueror and the con.
auered.

The rapidly reviving trade In many portions Of
the South suggests a. inquiry into the condition
and prospects of GAINESVILLE what is doing and
what ought b. Ne done in order to bring back to it
the. business which once gave such active employ
ment to- ts citizens. We learn that stepshave be IN
taken to remove the difficulties In the way Of re-
building the upper Red River bridge, and hope
that 50 important work win be pressed forward
with n possible dispatch. But as important as the
bridge is to Clarksvle the railroad is far more So
and demands the earnest and immediate attention
of all concerned. We know nothing Of the inten-
ton of ,he company with regard to repairing ard
restocking II, and arc equally ignorant the sub
ject Of its ability to accomplish the object. But
we do know that tho portion Of TIC road now In
use, from Fair Grounds to Louisville, serves no
other purpose than to divert trade from this place.
The ricketty condition Of the Red River trestle
work Is the excuse for stopping the train so faI
from town, and the want Of bridge, the delays d
the ferry and the precariousness Of the ford, all
combine to make the road of no use except for the
conveyance of travellers and their baggage
Surely there can be no insmmOuntabe obstacle u
the repairs, or rebuilding the trestle work Wer'
this done, freight could be brought to the river ant
conveyed south by steamboats,; and by this ar
rangement GAINESVILLE would reap some Of thu
benefits of the road which it so materially aided ii
building.
Whilst that portion Of the road, just mentioned
and the entire line hence to Memphis remains as /
is il is worse than useless because the interest ha
to be paid upon the capital; and unless it is to
speedily put in running order, by the present com
pany, It had better be sold to parties who have tn
means to make IL available to trade, and bsnef
to the country through which it passes. As al
ready stated, We do not know what the Compan
intends to do, what it is able to do, and merel
call public attention to the subject, with the hop
that some scheme may be devised by which tn
road can be put in successful operation. Clark:
vile and Montgomery County are deeply intereste
in this matter, and we would suggest that there
a convention of the parties concerned, along th
entire line Of road, for the purpose Of q de6nii
understanding and action upon the subject.
