ANOTHER FIENDIsu CASE or CHILD
FL1GGING-A LITTLE GIRL WHIPPED TO
DEATH, THE Kingston G. W., correspond
ent of the New York Sun, under date If the
18th, relates the following horrible story:--
ALCtheA case OF fatal child logging, if pos
sble more revoting in shocking details than
the recent Lindsey child murder in Medina,
N. y, occurred at Sarnia, Il few miles from
this city, on Wednesday last, the victim in
this instance being little girl five years of
age, named Kate Sibley the illegitimate
laughter Of Schuyler Sihley and Miss Kate
Davis, and the alleged rr vocation leading
to the cruel act being the refusal of the child
/ say its prayers. From the evidence eli
cited at the inquest on the body Of the child,
1t appears that on the night in question the
Totllar had beaten the child with raw hide
for nearly an hour, and when rendered in
sensible by pain and loss of blood, thrust it
ihto chair and went 10 bed. For a time the
chill was heard to moan as ifin intense agony
Jut Sc VI became quiet, and n lthing more was
l'ear1 until near morning, when a servant en-
terins the room found the child dead, and i'm
n.ediatcly gave the alarm.
Upon lifting the child from the floor, where
il had fallen, most revolving sight was rre-
sented. The head face and shoulders were
SCARED and discolored from the terrible blows
of the raw hide, while the body, from head
70 loot presented shocklngly mangled
and bloody appearance. Old scars scarcely
healed, were also visible upon the body, tes-
tifying to former cruel foggings. The medi
cal evidence showed that the injuries of the
ilogging were alone sufficient to producC
death, but that serious internal injuries, the
result OF kicks or blows had previously been
received; and the entire absence of food fol
many hours had also something to do with
the result. The muTderess, in being exam
ined, confessed that few days previous t.
the fatal act, the father of the child had ad-
ministered to ita most unmcrciful beating
for not saying its prayers, and ordered hei
TO do the same whenever it refused. The
jury returned verdict, eliminating botl
parents; whercupon they were both com
mitted to prison to await trial for murder.

Special Dispatch TO the N. Y Tribune.
LEAVENwoRrH, Monday, Sept. II, 1866.
A bloody and fearful tragedy occurred at
Platte City, Mo, on Saturday last. The
Radical Convention assembled at the church
in Platte City on that day. There were
about 100 men, including visiting delega-
llons. The Convention put in nomination a
lgll ticket and adjourned about o'clock P.
NJ. DUST before adj urnment the Rebels
brought Il band Of music upon the street,
which played "DiXie, - "The Bonnie Plue
Flag, " &c, and soon gathered about them
large crowd ofarmed men. A Union man,
named Thomas Dunnigan, being very noisy
upon the street, the Sheriff went up TO him
and was in the act of qucting him, when a
Constable named Callahan, ofnotorious Rebel
trd, came up with posse of men and
pointed out Dunngan, who stood beside the
sheriff saying: "There he s-take him. >, or
words I" that effect Immediately the Rebels,
who had assembled TO the number of four
hundred, commenced firing upon every
Union man upon the street. -Four were in
slently killed and large number wounded.
The bushwhackcrs drove the Union men out
OF the town, and four hundred Rebels now
hold possession of it. A Mr.. Heath visited
Platte City TO get his brothers. body, but was
not allowed to take il away. They gave him
a pass to get out Hftown through their picket
lines. The first shot was fired by a Rebel
constable upon drunken unarmed Unionist.
Members OF the Convention who had left,
hearing the shooting, returned to Platte City,
and while riding through the streets were
fired upon from the windows of houses and
saloons. Many horses were shot from under
the delegates -Four men were killed and 12
wounded. The extras caused great excite
ment here. Gov Fletcher has been tele.
graphed 20. lie will be at Weston to-mor.
row to attend mass meeting there. The
Unionists have all been driven to Weston.
The Rebels are all around and swear no
Unionist shall remain in Platte City.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The death record for the past week in New-YOIk is
greater than has ever been known In this city in
like period. The tables presented by the Health
Registrar, side by side with a comparison OF the
population Of the different districts strongly sug-
gestive and even startling One hundred and fifty
one deaths occurred in one ward, and 1862 in the
entire city during the time named. The deaths OF the
hospitals and kindred institutions were $50,
fact from which it is not hard to
extract meaning. The city's mortality in
the previous week reached a number as high As
s27 or nearly double the number Of the week before
This gathering and acoelerating rate OF deaths has
not abated or diminished for the latest statistics show
tie alarming increase OF over 500, exclusive OF the
morality in Brooklyn, which amounted to 49, Thus
in the two cities in one week occurred FOL deaths.
At ally time these facts would be sufficient to excite
some small amount Of apprehension. 1t Is the case
especially now when q peculiar complexion Of cir
cumstances has in,~essed the most intelligent with
the probability OF a mo- dreadful visitation than any
of the usual registered ar'Is of disease during the
Summer season. Taking up r.e statistic. as they

what disease Of late has afflicted so many Of the

causes kindred to cholera to show that the city is en-
PERTAINING in some sort an unusual, If not eXtraord
nary, visitation OF disease. The deaths in New York
and Brooklyn last week, by the mildcr forms of
cholera, exclusive Of cholera proper, were
over 400. Does il need to DO specu-

tory cause are necessary to invite and summon the

THE THEORY OF THE CAMPAIGN IN
EEROPE.

The present campaign in Bohemia aud Saxony will
hereafter deservedly be ranked among the boldes in
its conception and most rapid in its execution of any
mentioned in history. Until the details Of the move
ments become fully known, it will be impossible to
form correct estimate Of is merits or TO assign its
proper place. The English writers attribute the Prus
sian success to the mechanical Improvements in their
firearms Without pronouncing an opinion as to the
merits of the steel cannon or needle-guns Of the
Prussans we venture to assert that any ancied SUI
perorty of these to those of the Austrans is an
inadequate cause to account for the complete rou Of
the latter monarchy which, including the forces
Of It's allies can bring l00O0 900 men into the field,
cannot be stricken to the ground in twenty days by
an adversary that cannot possibly muster 100000
men in arms, without its having committed great
errors and grossly violated the wellestabshed rules
OF war.
The determining cause Of the Prussan success is
the great error of the Austrans in concentrating too
large an army in Italy, instead of Bohemia. An
Austrian defeat in Italy is for that Empire only
wound in the hand; battle lost in the Valley of the
Danube is stab in the heart This was freely shown
in the campaigns of 1905 and l-O9 In each Of these,
the Austrans were victorious in Iayi but the success
of their adyersares in the Valley OF the Danube COM
PEELED them TO abandon their conqursts in Italy e
unite their forces for the defense of their capital
remain of the opinion that the strength of nc austrian
army in Bohemia has been over.eS'na'eui us num-
bers were not great sta''', anu II consisted Ill

a,...,,n. ..odght that Prussia would hesitate to at

e.med a very inaccurate opinion Of Bsmark's char.
acter. IL seems that but two courses were open to
that stern dpomatst. boldly to attack, or to retire
at once and forever TO private liie Could there be
any doubt as 20 which Of the two he would choose
The wisest course for the Austrians would have
been TO have made peace with Italy, yielding Veneta
for compensation, and to have concentrated all of
her available forces in Bohemia. This, however,
coul hardly be expected Of arstocacy like that of
Vienna. Failing to do this, the army in Italy should
have been reduced to the lowest possible strength
say $4,000. This force would have been sufficient
to have held the famous Quadrilateral against the
ATTACKS Of Victor Emanuel. The rest Of the Italian
army should have been held in reserve along
the rad to Vienna so as to have been thrown either
into Ialy Bohemia as circumstances might require.
Modem armies are so huge, and the amount of
materials required for their supply so great that it is
impossible to supply their daily consumption of
materis except by water or railroad communication.
Now, be only considerable streams in Bohemia are
the Mclau and the noted river Elbe; consequently,

We are obliged to say for tic thousandth time that
truth is stranger than fiction. The readers OF Mrs.
Stowe and OfVictor Hugo possibly never read more
pteous and appealing chapter than Is contained m tho
bare evidence in the OF female Thenarder named
Mrs. Abrahams, now undergoing investigation in
Richmond. We have given this report space 10
cause we regard its subject as one Of those
phenomena which prove certain rules in human
nature and society. 1t will refresh the conscences
of those who are ready TO believe that masters have
ceased to be cruel and that the Freedmen's Bureau
is out of place while it will not shake the charity Of
those who are unwilling to hold communities entirely
responsible for all the crimes committed in the mans
Of Slavery and Of barbarism. This woman seems TO be
an exceptional fendn state ofsocety, which arbtrs-
rily made such fghtful exceptions as hers only too
common. While a murdered freedman is common
case, and while the story of woman who was beaten
so numerically with every cruel weapon, who was
bucked and gagged MANNED burned, and biindedi
while tales such as these are still in our ears we ara
curiously tempted to inquire what array OF dark
facts must underlie the terrible revelation on the
social surface. That inquiry we are not about to
dwell upon. We beg only attention to the case oil q
simple, woefu woman, who, along with her children,
endured something more painful than death because
she was black. Under any circumstances, it would
merit attention and sympathy.
