A horrible outrage was committed
scnewherein the state 6f Alabams
few days ago. Our informant is a re-
liable eolored man, who heard the
particulars from d member Of the
Loyal League, who got his informa~
ton from fellow who lost cousin
in the late war. 1t seemed that
Mr., Carpet Bagger was attacked ia
his own house by 1852 Ku.Kluxers,
armed with double. barreled bowie-
knives. They slaughtered and ate
nineteen Of Mr.. Bagger's children
before his eyes, and compelled Mrs.
Bagger to cut her own head off aud
hang it on a hook in the cellar. She
was then ordered to keep still upon
pain Of instant death. Sbe happened
to sneez thd leader If the dast>
ardly crew fmmediatsly had thra-h-
ing machine set up and run Mrs.
Bsgger through. It's very doubtful
"a bhC iCbONGApa
Mr.. Bagger was then forced to
swallow four tons of gunpowder and
a handful Of nitro glycorine. He
was next dieted on live Goals until an
explosion took place, which subjected
Mr.. Bagger to such intense pain as
almost to deprive him Of reason. The
feuds then shot him full Of holes, and
made him turrah for jefferson Davis
and Horace Greeley, and finally In
noculated him with the small pox and
soaked him with stronge lye. He
was then threatened with instant
death if he revealed the names Of
any Of the perpetrators of his out
rage, all Of whom are neighbors Of B.
who was a loyal sutler and cotton
speeulator during the war, and now
lives on a confscated plantation with
enough nigggrs to elect him to the
legislature. 1t is feared that Mr.
Bagger has sustained such internal
Injuries that he will not be able to
appear as a a witness at the military
commission appointed to try some ex-
rebels for reading Democratic news,
