New YORK, Aug 10th.-Vera Cruz al.
vices state that an Austrian vessel is pow
taking in large supplies of provisions, and il
was rumored that Maximillian would at.
tempt to leave on her with his body-guard
but that Marshal Bazaine would detaia him
by force if necessary.
Intercepted letters from Santa Anna have
caused the arrest of certain Mexicans.
1t is stated in Washington that the Mexi
can Minister has received dispatch from
Juarez, dated at chihuahua, July 9Th, in
which Juraez declines the services of Santa
Anna, because he was one of the originators
of the plan of foreign Intervention in Mexi-
can affairs, and cannot be depended on now,
because the Mexican people have lost conf
dence in him. His presence there, it Is fur
ther stated, would be an element of diseord
and trouble.

TERRIBLE OuTRAGE.-Last week, in the
neighborhood of Harrisburg Depot, Cabar-
rus county, negro man committed rape on
highly respectable married lady. while her
husband was absent on visit to this town.
The villain, after committing the crime, fled,
and the whole neighborhood turned out to
hunt him. In the meantime our City Guard
was on the watch for him and succeeded in
arresting him near the Depot in this place on
Tuesday night He attempted to escape
from the Guard and was shot in the hip by
one OF the pursuing party. He was lodged
in Jail.
The lady's relatives, friends and neighbors
are exasperated about the affair, as might be
supposed, and it required great forbcarancc
on their part to keep from Selling him from
the officers and executing him forthwith.
There is also another negro now in our Jail
awaiting trial for similar offence.
For such crimes the punishment ought to
be speedy Charlotte Democrat.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

THERE SHALL BE SIGNS AND WONDERS"
We are warned by the rising dark
and boisterous cloud that is fraught
with rage, and sending forth its peals
of thunder and shafts of fire, that the
pending storm is soon to burst upon
our heads. Signs and aconders
have gone before all important events
in every age of the world. The de-
struction of the antideluvian world bv
water-the confusion of the languages
at the Tower of Babel-the capture and
ruin of Jerusalem, and the destruction
ofSodom and Gomorrah-together with
the destruction of the more modern in
-stitution, american Slavery, have all
had their forewarning signs.
And now, while the great American
Republic is passing through the squally
and last ordeal of ruinous and wicked
rebellion, phenomena of ominous import
are ever and anon appearing and disap-
pearing in our political horizon; and the
prophets % and their sons 4" through
out the land, are beholding these chan
ging scenes with mysterious curiosity,
and sending forth their flaming prophe-
cies. Here are their predictions listen
to them:
Union men cannot stay in this coun-
try" -" We will now accomplish in
the Legislative halls, and at the Bar.
what we failed to accomplish by arms. y
1.-THE courts will soon drive the TIN.
ion men from the country" "Union
inch do not or cannot represent this
country" eff we fail to drive them
by law, we will put them out by force"
The United States will soon fall and
be ruined forever" "The North will
soon take up arms and fight the North
president johnson will dispense Con-
gress by force OF arms" "The South
people will not endure this North
ern radical rule much longer" "There
will soon be another war.'' "The South
will not submit to negro equality, and
If the North forces it upon us. the old
stars and stripes will fall to rise no
more" ''The South will yet have her
Independence |"
8 And we recollcct distinctly, that this
same class of prophets, and their sons,
opened their mouths and prophesied to
us few years ago, saying moreover.
Secession will be peaceable, and there
shall be no war;" "An the blood
that will be spilled by secession, will
not stain one white handkerchief
The war will not last one month. -
