Damn able Outrage by Negroes.

One Of the most horrible and re-
voting outrages which has lately
come under our notice, occurred on
Wednesday last, an old lady being
robbed and ravishcd within mile
and a-half Of the city, and in broad
daylight, by three negro iiends.
The circumstances Of the case, as
related to this reporter atpoice head
quarters are as follows;
wednesday morning last, Mrs.
Phelps, an old lady sixty years Of age,
residing near Wragg's swamp, aboa,
three miles from town, between the
Dauphin and Government street
roads, came to the city early in the
morning Cor the purpose of making a
few purchases. On her return home
with sack Of meal, and accompani
cd by her son, little boy of thirteen
she was stopped about 10 A. NJ,
when about half mile from tho
city, by three negroes, who relieved
her Of her meal After doing this
the negroes consulted together for a
short time, after which one Of them
seized their victim, and, dragging her
to ono side Of the road, pcrpetrated a
most diabolical outrage. The boy
had q pistol presented at his head
ana was made to keep quiet under
threats Of instant death. Hearing a
gun fire a short distance off, and the
attention of the negro villains being
distracted, the boy managed to make
his escape, and proceeded as fast as his
legs could carry him in The direction
Of the report. After .siing a short
distance, he fell in with !. : Dung man
named John Iodine, who was GU,
cunning.
Relating to him what had bcfaIlen
his mother, Mr.. Iodine promptly ac.
companied him, and upon arriving at
the scene Of the outrage found the
negroes gone aud the old lady lying
in the middle Of the road in m un>
conscious state. She was taken to
her house and her wants attended to.
The negroes finding that their deeds

The matter was referred by the

Touching the first Discovery OF the
Ruined City.

Statements have recently been pub
lished in regard to the ruins of n city
said To have been lately discovered in
Arizona, on the Little Colorado river
The dicovcry Is not so recent after all.
In July, 1859, n party headed by Capt.
Thompson, in which We're ID. G. Col
licr, editor of the Central City Regis
ter; William B. Bycrs, editor of the
Denver NcWs; Capt. Sopris, DIR.
Bowlby, and number ofother scien-
tific men, left Denver and struck u
line of march for the southwest. =
Some time during the month of Au-
gust they came upon the ruins, and
upon their return made vOluminous
report, which was published at the
time in the Colorado papers. Not
having any maps with them, they
were under the impression that the
city was ON Grand river, an afiluent
of the Colorado. Some of the build
ings were In an excellent state Of pre-
scrvation, and an aqueduct, seven
miles in length, built of hcwn stone,
with which the city had been sup
piled with water, was so well pre-
served that but little repairs were
necessary to make Unavailable for its
original purpose. The style ofarchitec'
ture Was similar to that described by
Mr.. Stevens in his travels IN Central
America, and described by him a.
being of Aztec origin. The report o
the discovery was made nj Denver ~
September, 1865, and nothing hut tllS
persistent hostilities Of the Navajo
Indians prevented the organization
of a NnmnAmN for IurlhNLNNnlnrAlllll.

The ISLANDERS about Maury.

Speaking about the bundle of false
hoods embraced in the military re-
port of the Legislature, the Columbia
Herald, has the following:
The joint Military Committee OF
the Brownlow Legislature made r..
port as to the outrages of the KukluN
Klan throughout the State, which
exccls, in wild misrepresentation
and falsehood, any thing that has
cmunated even from the Brownlow
Legislature. The report occupies
forty-eight pages, and, from begin
ming TO end II Is filled with tales ofhor-
ror; especially gotten up for election
ecring purposes In the Northern
States. Maury County figures large
ly in the report, and, as the best
means of letting the people of the
county know what Is reported OF
them, and by WHOM they are thus
reported, we give the extracts below,
which embraces all relating 10 affairs
in Maury, which has struck our at
tentiOn. The reader will be oston-
ished to find to what extent partisan
malignity can go in the work of reck-
less eXaggeratiOn, misrepresentation
and falsehood. IL there be any Radi-
cal in Maury having the least regard
for truth and honor left, whether
they bc white or colored, they cannot
longer affiliate with party capable
of resorting to such disgraceful means
of sustaining their power, after they
have the extracts which we give be-
low.

have been inaugurated by the Oct0-

Hogs generally arc quadrupid.
The extreme length of their abtiqir-
ity has never been fully discovered;
they existed long time before tho
flood, and have existed sum time
since.
There II n great deal NV informal
revenue in u hog; there aiut't rnucr
more waste i'm them than In an oys-
ter.
Even there taIes cum bc worked up
into whiSscls.
Hogs are good, quiet borders; tlIey
alwus cat what h set bcf,qc 'eui, and
don't ask any foolish questions.
They never hev any tsiseax but tho
measles, and they ncser bey that but
once; once seems tUsiitisfy 'em.
There Is n great nienny breeds
amongst them.
Some are Il close corpornshun breed,
and again sum ARE built more apart,
like "A hcmlock slab.
They used 10 liCv breed In New
England, few years ago, which they
called tile striped-hog breed; this
breed was In high repute with the
landlords; almost ey'ry tavcrn-keeper
had one which housed tO show trlv-
c'ers, and brag 0n him.
Some are full In the face, like
town clock, and some are as long and
lean as II cow-catchcr with a steel
pointed nose onto them.
They kan all rutc well; hog
which can't rutc well hez been made
I'm vain.
They are short-livcd animal, and
generally die as soon ls they get fat

To their memory; II Is awful hard
work for them lind the same hole tcw

way anxious they should.
Hogs are very contrary, and seldom
drive well the same way you nro go-

way. This has never been fully ex-
planned, 6it speaks volumes for tho

The Corpus Christi Adverrisseef KaSs
from a correspondent these particu
lars ofa bloody and fatal affray which
took place on the west side of tht
river, above Oaliville, OH the 22d ult.,
between Mr.. Henderson Williams
and Sic Brown about some becves that
were turned into herd against the
wish of Mr.. Williams. The latter
claimed authority ovcrsaid bceves, us
partly his own and partly those foi
whom he held agcncica:
Some angry words occurred at first,
which eliminated in the drawing oi
wea pons, which were heavy dragOon
six-shooteis. Both parties being
mounted, at each successive shot they
charged up closer to their dreadful
work. The firing was rapid, and the
combatants became envelopcd Ia the
smoke of their weapons, which Tapped
together on the last round. Mr..
Browns firing was wild, owing no
doubt to the fact that he received a
mortal centre shot from Williams
first fire, although he sat ON his horse
firmly, until shot the third time
through the body, which, centering
the heart, he fell u corpse on the In
slant. Williams was unhurt, but his
horse was shot i'm the head, and was
fractions and unruly during the fight.
Both parties had numbers of well
armed friends on the ground, but no
assistance or interference was offered,
and the issue was fairly and squarcly
tested. Both men Were undoubtedly
brave to the last inch, such ~ would
do honor g. any cause, right or
wrong. But 1t u sad thing indeed,
that men forty years of age must
draw their weapons to decide qucs-
tions of property.
