A TIo1.1.id Crime.

On Monday afternoon, March 9th, be-
tween three and four O'clock, as Mrs.
Robert Rodgers, who lives four miles
northeast of Concord Station, was ret urn
ing with her two young children from q
visit to friend who lives about quarter
Of mile from Mrs. Rodgers residence,
she was accostcd by big buck negro who
made insulting proposals to her, and at
once attempted to commit rape upon
her person. Mrs. Rodgers entreated him
to spare her, and attempted to deter him
from his damnablc purpose by telling the
villain that her husband was just down in
the next field, to which he replied: otis
damned lie. 1 have watched around
here for four hours, and there is not q
man about here" Mrs. Rodgers contin-
ued her entreaties, to which he paid no
attention. Her children began crying
and the brute knocked them down and
then throwing Mrs. Rodgers down, he ac-
complished his hellish purpose. The
scoundrel then made his escape and Mrs.
r. returned to her home and gave the
alarm. The neighborhood was at once a.
reused and pursuit was made. The vii
lain was arrested at CampbelPs Station by
Squire John Roberts, who conducted him
back to Concord, and held an examin-
alton. The prisoner said that he could
prove that he was at,work at the time the
affair took place. Squire Roberts suspen-
ded the examination and issued subpenas
for the witnesses the prisoner mentioned.
They testified that they "had never seen
the villaninous dog, in all their lives
before" 81 "a 2
Mrs. Rodgers being called to the stand,
described the prisoner and identified him,
when he was brought beforeher, by a scar
ON his face, which scar he received while
attempting an unlawful entrance to the
store of a merchant, by the testimony of
the merchant himself, whose name We did
not learn.
The evidence being conclusive, the
villain was committed to jail for trial at
the next term of the Ccircuit Court, and
was brought to Knoxville last night
and placed ia Jail. y ~ SS

Arise, spirits of departed Critics, and

momcter. go! what q fall was there,
my countrymen."
The princcly censor, appears to be as
tonishcl at poetry being indigenous at
this point; why he should consider our
atmosphere uncongenial, is for him to say.
If his astonishmcnt was so great; far
greater must have been that of w. p. G.
and the poet Laureate Violet; when the
unexpected and ruthless storm burst in
fury on their little banks, but although
they must have suffered severely, we
trust they will pluck up courage, reft
theirvessels, and Qn.the language of Davy
Crockett,) "pick their fints and try it
again."
DO not be discouraged by Prince OBJ
servers assertion, that you neither possess
"gcnius or TALENT" "that you never again
should appear in print, as critics are cold,
pitiless, and cruel"
We defy the Sweetwater photograph
list to take moro accurate likeness of
the critic Prince, than in the three last
words, he has delineated himself,
We had entertained the opinion that
the prince (from his apparent boldness)
would have carried on the war. unaided,
but perceive that he invites the "Poctic
Cobblero to assist In rcmodling W. P. C's
last effusion. This is rather compliment
tory to the cobbler: We trust he will duly
appreciate.
We presume ". p. G. is of the mascu.
line gender, and will let him paddle his
own canoe; but cannot resist the desire to
act as a champion in the cause of Violet.
However imperfect her skill in poesy,
the prince should never have lost sight Of
her being womaH and as such, entitled
to a more gentlemanly and milder tone Of
criticism than she received at Ills hands,
His profundity in poetical criticism, it
might be sacrilege to doubt, but we are
rather skeptical on the subject of his hav-
ing studied successfully the science Of
either politcness or gallantsy.

\ NASHVILLE PRINTER IN THE FAR
WEsT.-The Nashville Banner of late
date says it has been permitted to Gull a
few items from letter received yesterday
from Mr.. s. l.. FoRD, late Of the Union
and Dispatch Office, and addressed to a
friend in that 'city, The writer dates his
letter from Cheyenne, January 10, and
states that he arrived there only a few
days before. His fare from Omaha, a
ride Of twenty-six hours, was only $5l 40.
Cheyenne, he states, is only four months
old, and alredy has a population of 5000.
Mexicans, Indians, Irish, Germans and
Americans, with a very plentiful sprink-
ling Of gamblers, pimps, bush-whackers:
miners, etc. There isnot stone or brick
or two-story house in the town. Rough
boards, logs, mud, or tents are used; in
fact, any material that will serve as a
protection from the weather. Three dali
~ papers have already been started
Day-board is Sl4 per week, and lodging
ON the floor is furnished at 81 per night
Elk, deer, and buffalo meat, with antel-
opc or bear stake for a change, are among
the daily rations.
The Union and Pacific track has pro-
crossed only two miles beyond Cheyenne.
Mr.. Ford expects to remain at that place
until April, when he proposes to push
