week three black negroes effected an en-
trance to the dwelling house of Mr.. Dan
iel Hammond living near Smithfeld,
Jefferson county, Ohio, while all men,
bers of the family were absent excepting
two daughters of Mr.. Hammond, and
gratifed their hellish passions by out
raging the bodies of the two young
ladies, They effected entrance about
O'Clock in the evening and did not
leave till near 4 o'clock IN the morning.
One of the young ladies is not expected
to live.
This is more of the effects of the teach
ings of the Negro Rights party.

New ORLEANS, September lS.-The
news from the cotton regions report the
injury to the crop serious and wide
spread. Only a small district on the
uplands of Mississippi seems exempt;
otherwise the States of Louisiana and
Mississippi are affected with nearly q
total loss of the cotton crop, while vely
little corn or other breadstutfs have been
raised. This is peculiarly the case where
negroes have worked on shares, which
leads them to be now very reluctant to
labor and greatly disheartened.

News from New York.

NEW YORK, Sepb6mDeI la herald
Brazas Santiago correspondent says of
Gen. Lew Wallaee's Mexican fiilibuster
movement for some time past, Gen.
Stein, Of Illinois, CaTloss & Co., of New
York, agents for the sale of Mexican
bonds with other parties in New York
and Washington contracted TO supply
Caravaial with five hundred thousand
dollars worth of war material. A ship
load was forwarded and the balance was
getting ready for shipment. Caravaial
had also contracted for $3.50, 900 worth of
hospital stores, and the contractor ex-
pected to realize fabulous profits The
great object of all this supply of material
of war and medical stores was the
equipment of force of 1000 Americans,
who were to be recruited in New York,
New Orleans, and other points through
ont the United States. Major General
Lew. Wallace was to have command of
this force, which was to concentrate at
Matamoras, previous to the advance into
the interior. ibis force was to fight
for the Mexican Republic, against the
French
Upon tue arrival of General Wallace
at Matamoras, he had an interview
with General Caravajsl; the result was,
telegram sent by Wallace to New
Orleans, ordering parties to forward i'm
mediately $4,000 men, and that on the
18th inst, he had found Caravajal, an
exile, and a resident of Brownsville.
Wallace countermanded his order for
the men, and being much disgusted with
the change in affairs proceeds now to
Monterey, to see President Juarez.

Indiannpoli. RIotsr. washed Ont.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1S.-A heavy rain
storm has prevailed here and throughout
Central Indiana since Sunday night.
The streams are higher than were ever
known here. Young's creek, a small
stream passing through the lower part
of this city, completely flooded that part
of town, doing immense damage. Many
of the railroads have sustained heavy
damages by bridges being washed away
and tracks destroyed. Communications
on several roads centering here have
been entirely suspended for the present.
The damage in this city cannot be esti-
mated, but is undoubtedly heavy both
to business aud private property. The
water rose so rapidly this morning that
many store rooms were filed with water
before the goods could be removed.
Nearly all fhe railroad tracks in the city
are submerged and the bridges washed
away. There was water ID the Union
depot at noon a foot deep. Many fami-
lies living in the vicinity of the creek
have been compelled to leave their
houses The rain still continues almost
without iltermission, but the water in
the streams is subsiding. Reports f.Om
other parts of the State indicate severe
damage by high water. Two men and a
boy were drowned here.
