es follows
About O'clock yestsrday morning Mrs.
DuIlinger, who lives some distance in thu
country, was on her way to the city TO attend
church, and when near the residence OF Mr..
| E. j. Debell she was attacked BY two me-
groes. - &x
She being stout woman, about forty live
or fifty wears of age, made for . time sue
cessful resistance, when one OF the brufes
| drew pocket knife and cut her several times
| severely in the face, neck and shouider.-
| Growing faint from loss OF BLOOD sne was
oyerpowered by the brutes and dragged
/ across fence into . corn neio, wnere nor
nerson was violated by both, who then made
q deliberate attempt to kill her, but were
frightened away by hearing persons ap-
The whole neighborhood was quickly
| aroused and turned out in search for the
fends In the meantime the half murdered
woman was conveyed home and physicians
called to her assistance, who reported her In
q critical condition.
| Dilligent search was made for the perpe-
| traitors of the horrid crime, and young me-
gro, named Joe Coins, was arrested by ON
GERS Jewett and Long. brought 10 town, and
lodged in Jail, but it was not then known
that he .wos q participator in the crime. Late
| in the afternoon the other brute was pointed
out to Joe Wesboro and his brother, by .
negro boy, and was by them arrested and
brought to town. and lodged in Jail. We
were unable to learn his name. He lived
near Wssboro's, beyond Pigeon creek, near
the railroad.
We are informed that he made confession
of the diabolical crime, implicating the boy
Joe. Upon searching him the knife was
found, bloody, and his clothes were bloody,
though he had made an effort to wash the
blood from his shirt There we're also found
on his person Q razor, the ear rings of his vic
tim, which had been literally torn from hel
ears, and over 81 in money. The boy Joe
we understand, acknowledged getting s.
from the other negro. The amount of money
taken from the woman is about SIS.
This revolving outrage has created mucf
feeling in the city, and the Infamous ant
british wretches will no doubt receive, q
they deserve, the severest punishment Of tn
law.
The st. Louis Republican has the follow
ing, in regard to the above affair:
"a letter, dated Monday, from q gentle
man of this city, now in Evansville, says tina
about 2 O'Clock P. NJ on Monday. the en-
ragged populace took the negroes from tn
Jail and dragged them into and through tn
streets, when one was knocked in the hea,
with dray pin and then shot five times il
quick succession, while laying prostrate.-
The other was held up and dispatched b.
four pistol shots at close range. The blood.
work was then finished up by hanging thei
bodies on a lamp post, and leaving then

Though one of these negroes is spoken o.
as having resided for long time at Evans
vile, the frequent preparation recently Q
outrages of this character. by negroes, doe
seem TO have connection with the extravagau
and violent teachings of those uItraists VIII
profess to be the negroes best friends bu
who, in reality, are their worst enemies"
This is another evidence of the supsriorit,
of Chase's vigorous and progressive neer,
aristocracy," which he says is destined to b
the ruling race in the south.
