INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.-We learn, says
the Aralaache of this morning that on
yesterday, about one o'clock pm, a
hackman, with a woman of the town
as passenger, in passing down Main
street came to the curve of the city rail-
road on the corner OF Beal and Main
streets The workmen had just com
pleted the laying Of the track, but had
not graded the street up to IT, so as to
enable hacks and drays to pass without
iniuring the track. The hackman above
mentioned attempted to drive across,
but was prevented by the foreman at
work on the road He turned and drove
of, making threats as to what he would
do. About two hours sfterward be re-
turned with gang of rowdies, and made
an onslaught upon the workmen, driving
them off and tearing up the rails for
considerable distance The whole thing
was so sudden and unexpected that no
resistance was made, nor were any of the
parties arrested We call upon Captain
Garrett TO make every effort to bring
these scoundrels to justice. Such law
lessness should be summarily dealt with.

BRILaIAYT Sign. Our friend, Adolpe
Bernard, Esq, Ticket Agent of the
Memphis and Charleston railroad, has
had painted for that company one OF the
neatest and most artistically executed
bulletin boards that we have seen. 1t
was executed by Sam Hendrick, Esq,
superintendent of the painting depart
ment of the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad Company, and is highly credit
able to his taste and skill as knight of
the brush and palette, exceeding anything
of the kind yet accomplished in this city.
The dimensions of the board are about
three and half feet by seven 1t stands
upright on base of oak, and rounds off at
the top, where, on base of slight green,
is handsomely executed spread eagle,
grasping in its talons an American shield.
The colors are natural and finely brought
out, principally red, brown, blue, gray and
white. Growing semi-circle above the
eagle, are the words, Southern Mail
Route in letters of gold, and below it,in
letters of the same description, are the
words Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road The surface Of the board be-
low the fronts is intended to repre-
sent rosewood and has highly polished
appearance, the very perfection of oil
painting. The border is of gold and YER
million stripes Both design and execu-
ton are fanltless, and elicit comments of
admiration from numerous spectators.
Mr.. Bernard is an energetic, faithful Off
Ger of the road, and is making the Com
pany's fortune by his poiteness and
attention to their business. This beauti-
full sign may be seen in the public room
of the Worsham House, and reflects great
credit on the artist who painted it, while
it will be a great convenience to the
travelling community as pointing out the
best routes for them to take.
