FEARFUL OUTRAGE The Charleston Cour-
Ter, Of June l7th, says We learn, upon au-.
thority that we consider indisputable, that dis
patches were received in Columbia, Monday
night, from Camden, stating that an outbreak
had occurred amongst the negroes in that
vicinity, in the progress which several of the
most prominent citizens were forcibly incarcera-
ted, and two of them hung and that the sheriff
of the district, in futile effort to command
the peace, had been fatally shot. 1t appears
that the company Of Federal soldiers which had
been sent to that point at the earnest solcta-
ton of the citizens, to q uell the disturbance
which was threatened in consequence of the
killing Of S. G. w. Dill last week, had receiv-
ed notice that they were to be relieved by
company from Columbia, and, without waiting
for the relief to arrive, had started from Cam
den. The negroes, taking advantage Of their
absence, rose en- mdSSc, and committed the
horrible outrage to which we alludc.
