REBEL MALIGNITY AROUSED.
Outrages on Freedmen.
From the Memphis Post.

New cases are constantly occurring, IL
Illustrating the old animus of slavery that
still aims to control and Cypress these
poor people. 1t is only this week that
parties in the Second Civil District of
searches broken up some colored meet
ings. They said the negroes should not
have schools and churches, and improve,
while they could not vote, and had DO
rights and they sent word to gentleman
district, that if he allowed the building
of colored church or school house on
his land, a mob would destroy it. and the
niggers and him with them Some of
these men may be arrested and bound
over to keep the peace.
In Haywood county, quite recently,
the same diabolical spirit has manifested
itself in little different FORM Some of
the men have been inspired with the old
patriachal spirit of the defunct institu-
ton, and wanted TO crafty their taste by
regular old fashioned whippings-the
honorable and dignifed means by which
slavery sought to enlighten mankind.
About three weeks ago, one Charles
Moore, recently from near Brownsville,
who was living at Bells Station, had
some words with his colored man Peter
who with his wife and one child, had
been living with Moore some time. OF
course, the ''nigger' was saucy, because
he probably said he was now man. and
not a slave lie left the house, intend
ing to go to Memphis, and was waiting
near the depot for the cars Moore went
at him, and whipped him most unmerci-
fully. until the blood ran from his arms
and his person, and then took off his hat
to the house, to compel him to come
back. Bruised bleeding and sore the old
negro made his way back to the house,
but did not return in. He asked his lit
tie girl to bring him his hat but the wo-
man of the house would not let her. As
he hung on the fence, Moore told him if
he stayed there till night he would have
the Ku klux upon him, and that would
be the end of him. This was done in
broad day light, on the public street land
the men n of the place cheering him on
crying, give him five hundred shoot
him! ETC., not one In the whole commu-
nifty daring to say word against the out
rage. Some of Moore family are mem
bers of the NJ T. Church South.
About IA week ago, at Bells Station, a
man by the name of Blanchard, made a
negro, Tom Tucker, strip off hisshirt aud
whipped him until the blood ran. His
otfense was riding about the Station a
little with colored friend or 50, while
waiting In charge of the horse and buggy
for the party whom he served, who was
dancing at ball in the neighborhood
Ia this case no remOnstrance was uttered
BY any one who saw it or heard of itand
it is doubtful if these parties are pre-
scented to the Grand Jury.
A respectable coored man, who has
been in Mississippi in search GA stolen
horse, reports that he was warned not to
speak TO the colored people on his route
and that it would only be safe for him to
ask information Of white people. The
rebels seemed to be perfectly organized,
and to have the colored people complete

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.
Capt. CARROTS anticipated Voyage in Z
Small Beat.

Several notices have already appeared
Of the proposed voyage Of Opt Thomas
Garret, who proposes leaving Chicago
on or about the 9TH of June next, and
10 cross the Atlantic IN smaller boat
than the feat was ever before attempted
in. The general feeling was that the az
tempt was one Of utter fOOlhardiness
much more creditable to the captain 5
courage than his judgement But the
leading features OF the enterprise has
not previously been touched upon, and
places the undertaking In a new light.
The principal object OF the trip Is to de
monstrate new lite saving principal, the
invention of Capt Garret which 1t Is
proposed to apply 10 life boats and for
which a patent has been applied.
Can't Garret has an associate with him in
the enterprise n LeGendre professor OF
modern languages in the university OF
Chicago and to show their entire faith in
the pIacticaoility Of the invention in
company they propose to mtrust their
lives tn the little craft aud to encounter
the oceanic waves OF the Atlantic with
out any misgiying as to the result.
The contract for the construction OF the
boat was signed and the two adventures
confidently hope they will be ready to
start By the designated time. She Is TO

another Shocking Lamp Explosion
Horror
From the Worcester Mass Spy, April u.

From the Worcester (Mass) Spy, April II
The wife Of Mr. Joseph Taylor, in this
city, was preparing some remedy for her
own use last Sunday night, being unwell,
when kerosene lamp exploded, covering
her with a sheet Of flame. which so over
powered her that she sank to the floor
unable to utter an alarm She was fully
dressed, and almost every vestige Of
clothing was burned from her body,
literally burning her to a sickening and
deformed mass. The strangest part is
to follow. Her husband offered to assist
her before the explosion took place,
but she requested him to retire and
she would join him. He did not go
to bed, but reclined on lounge in
an adjoining room with his cloth
ing on, and the door communicating
OPEN This was nine O'Clock Saturday
night He fell asleep Immediately, and
it is presumed the accident soon occurred.
Stupefed by flame and smoke she either
lay or CROPPED her way about the room
until 4:30 the following morning. when
she alarmed her husband, herself nearly
stihed with the dense smoke that entire
ly filed both rooms, and had kept him
| unconscious till there was pothing more
to harm. At noon Yesterday She was
still alive and able to converse. The floor
where she lay, and the rugs about the
room, were burned and charred, present
Ing a spectacle of the indescribable tor
| ture she must have endured through all
the long night The lamp was what is
termed a sun burner" and she states
that it exploded while she stopped near
mixing some remedy in tea cup.

full, little daIk-eyed girl on her way to

so much that he wished to chat with her.
He said

"Ah? and do you love to go to
school?n
20, yes, sir, was the eager reply.
And do you love your book?
Y es, sir.
That's right; now, are you good
scholar?"
She colored modestly. 80, that ism t

Was not that a beautiful Illustration
of the text, "Let another man praise
thee, and not thine own lips?
She was good scholar and a good
daughter; but her pretty blush and naive

amount of boasting words, was it not?
