OUTRAGE AT BEAUFORT, N. o.-The Raleigh

oedH0dTd, Oh ffluay, reports the iolloWinB
We learn that the colored troops at Beau
fort, in this State, have recently been guilty
Of shocking oulrages in the Deighborhood OF
that place. A squad of them visited the town
of Beaufort few days since, violated the po-
lice laws, were arrested by Mayor Duncan,
and sent to Fort Macon in charge of some OF
the town police. When the police officers
reached the fort they were threatened by the
colored troops, dsarmed, and thus allowed to
return to the town. Some of the negro SOL
diers, we learn, threatened to turn the cannon
of the fort on the town of Beaufort. But this
is not half. A few days since squad OF these
soldiers went to the house Of white citizen
not far from the fort, and while the man of
the house and his wife were held they raw
ished their daughter, a girl of fifteen years of
age. Another squad went to another house,
and attempted a rape on a child ten years of
age. We learn that four Of these devils will
be identified.

NORTHERN CLAIMS AGAINST SOUTHERN CRED
IToRs.-The special committee appointed by
the New York Chamber of Commerce to con-
slider the propriety of enforcing, by every
means afforded by law, all Northern claims
against Southern debtors, submitted the re-
suit of their deliberations to that body on
Thursday, in the shape Of a memorial to Con-
gress:
The committee set forth that at the COM
mencement of the late civil war, citizens of
the rebellious States were indebted to credi-
tors in the North, for money loaned and goods
sold, 10 the amount of about $3.50, coo, 900,
and that only small portion Of it has since
been lquidated while on the other hand a
large proportion of the residue has been, or
soon will be, barred by the State statutes OF
limitation. In order that these claims may be
adjusted, therefore, the memorialists pray for
the passage Of law exempting suitors in the
Federal courts Of the Southern States from
the operations of statutes of limitation passed
by State legislatures, for a period long enough
to afford legal creditors an opportunity TO en-
force their demands.
After an animated discussion, the memorial
was unanimously adopted, together with a
resolution calling upon Senators and Repre-
sentatiYes in Congress to use the most earnest
endearors to procure the passage of the de-
sired bill.

IMPORTANT MItLER's INVENTION Mr.. Clin-
ton Roberts, miller at Greenfield Mills, in this
county, has invented and secured by patent,
most valuable improvement in milling. 1t
consists Of device which completely regu-
lates the burr while grinding, takes the place
of the lighter screw, and etfectually saves loss
in grinding, by preventing the burr from
rising too high or sinking too low. it is a
self-regulator of the burr, the burr being bal
anced on a scale beam. By this means great
uniformity in grinding is secured, a deside-
ratum always acknowledged by millers, and
which is essentially necessary in manufactu-
ring high grades Of -four. 1t is also claimed
for this invention, that it is a great labor and
time sayer--that it is unnecessary to watch
the burr, or pay any attention TO it after start
ing the mill, to see that it is not raised too
high by the heating of the spindle supporting
it, as is constantly necessary under the pre-
sent mode of grinding-that owing TO the
uniformity of grinding with his invention, il
is not necessary to wash or dress the burrs so
often-that it is self-regulator both as to
the grinding, as well as regulating the proper
quantity of grain leading to the burr to be
grouud-that it is simple in construction,
and not likely to get out of order. As apub-
lie journalist, we call attention to this useful
invention, and if any miller or machinist
thinks we have said too much in its praise,
we say to him, 90 and see for yourself, when
Mr., Roberts will take pleasure in showing
and convincing you by thorough examine
ton, that i; deserves all, and more, than we
have said in its favor.-Frederick Citizen.
