Another Outrage.

The people of the North will probably
| never know, as they cannot fully realize,
all the frightful and inhuman tortures in-
| f1icted upon the South at the hands of mil
| itary satraps. Our attention has been call
ed to case quite as fragrant as that OF the
Columbus prisoners. -.
1t seems that about six weeks ago Fed
eral soldier was killed at Warrenton, in
this State. No clue, so far as we can ascer-
| tain, has yet been afforded to detect the
perpetrator of this violence. But the mil
| itaIy authorities-those fine gentlemen
| sent here to preserve order and protect the
innOcent-assumed full knowledge of the
case; and, without cognizance of law, and
| without the feeble show of affidavits
| from any party or parties whatso-
ever, arrested peaceful and in
offensive citizen of Warrentown by the
name of Cody. This gentleman was hus-
| tied off to Milledgeville, with manacles on
his ankles and wrists. While thus chain
ed and in dungeon, he was brutally at
tackled by four or five soldiers, who had
been imprisoned in the same apartment for
trivial misdemeanors. These soldiers set
upon him because they deemed him to be
the slayer OF one of their comrades. AS
their superiors did not give the unfortu-
nate man chance to eXculpate himself,
neither did these base underlings allow
him the charity of a doubt. One of them
kicked him in the mouth, leaving hide
ous cash upon his lip, and Mr.. Cody was
finally saved from fatal consequences
through the rescue of servant of the
guard.
A military commission was then desig-
mated for his trial at Milledgeville, and one
days notice given of the time to Mr.. Cody's
counsel. Upon repairing to Milledgeville
the counsel was informed that the order for
trial had been revoked, and Atlanta SUBJ
stituted for Milledgeviile.
The trial took place one hundred and
twenty miles from the residence of the
prisoner, and occupied twenty-one days,
during which time Mr.. Cody was marched
felon at his ankles and wrists.
Now mark the sequel. After an abrupt
seizure; maltreatment, when manacled, by
Federal soldiers; transportation and impris-
onment remote from his residence; tedi-
GUS trial, and degrading handouts of coll
demned criminal-he was allowed to go
homeward fully acquitted of the charge
against him. ar --..
There is not an innocent man in Georgia
who is not liable to a similar fate. Will
the people of the North abet and encourage
the awful humiliation of the South? If so,
they may well shudder for their own fate,
when tyranny has exhausted itself upon
us, and seeks its victims among them
selves.
We trust that Mr.. Cody or his counsel
will publish detailed account of this dark
business, and we hope, for the sake of hui
that the picture may be less horri-
BILE than our informant warrants US to be-
lieve-Augustd CorlStitattiondlist.

Ihe Fourth al Center Village,
Delaware County. Ohio.


DEAR STATESMAN Having spent the
Fourth in the city of Columbus for several
years past, we thought we would seek for
pleasure in the beautiful village of Center
vile, and see whether the people there had
forgotten to celebrate the anniversary of
our independence. -
The village was quiet all day, but when
bright PhGbus was sinking beneath the
western hills, wagons carriages and foot
men Were seen vending their way to the
quiet village. The young folks were going

world that they, too, had few talents that
should not lie dormant, and more than five
hundred can testify that their talents have
been well cultivated.
The best piece performed was a colloquy,
"ihe Crown" which was represented by
niue young Ladies, whose names were: The
Preistess, by Mollie Beacher; Pleasure, by
Ella Gaines; Wealth, by Josse Hubbell /;
Beauty, by Alice Beacher; Music, by Phebe
Harkman; Art, by Libbie Barr; Science,
by Ella Cole; Spirit, by Matte Barr; Re-
llgion, by Mary johnson. The girls per-
formed their parts of the piece well.
The Lay of the Henpeck, by Benton
Mann, and Josh Billings, by Reese Mont
gomery, and racy stump speech by Me-
dairy Mann, and Stubbens' Speech, by Rob.
Montgomery, were well spoken, and caused
immense laughter. The Gipsey's Warning
was splendid. At about half past eleven
the crowd went home, we'll satisfied. 81
On Sunday morning we went to Sunday
School at the M. E. Church and even ything
seemed to prosper there too.
But, Mr.. Editor, it was rumored about
the evening before that there was young
man OF the Christian Union persuasion thai
would preach at eleven o'clock A. M. if he
was invited. The invitation was given by
one of the leading members OF the society
and accepted by the preacher. But before
the Sabbath School closed, it was ascer.
tanned that the preacher was Demo ,rat
and in consequence he could not occupy
the pulpit, The preacher was not disap.

preach no doubt felt chargrined to think

1t needs to say little about him. Of his life
before the war barely anything is known.
During the war he was employed by STAN
ton as Chief of the Federal Detectives. He
matched his employer. What he did is now
known. He was the head man in making
arbitrary arrests. 1t was favorite method
OF his to discover conspiracles, which ended
in nothing except much money and much
dishonor to himself. In this he almost
equalled Butler. His loud exposure and
complacent compounding of the bounty
frauds are recollected. How he got some
Abbott to write him up in book is not
forgotten. The close relations he bore to
Ashley Weichman, Sanford Connover,
and that ilk, are remembered. After
playing his role of sneak and spy
for Stanton he became testimony

He tried several times to sell himself to
both sides, but always gravitated naturally
towards Radicalism. The national annals

A CASE of somewhat novel character
was tried in the United States Circuit Court
at New Haven last week, the result of
which was published in yesterdays Post.
The plaintiff, DR.. John Flint, physician
residing in this city, took passage by the
Company for New York on the 9Th of June,
1854. He proceeded safely over the first
portion of the route, and on reaching the
steamer City of Boston at New London,
went to the ticket Office to receive his
stateroom key, to which his ticket entitled
him. He obtained the key and was re-
turning from the ticket Office to the upper
saloon by the proper route, when, just
before he reached the stairs, loaded
musket fell from the hands of soldier and
was discharged as it fell. The ball passed
through the foot of the plaintiff, injuring it
to SO great degree that he was compelled
to have it amputated. He claimed that the
injury was the result OF breach of duty
on the part of the Transportion Co. and
brought this suit to recover proper dam
ages therefor. On the other hand, the de-
PENDANTS denied that there were any armed
soldiers on board the boat, but averred the
gun was discharged by sentry while
scuffling with an insubordinate re-
cruit. Judge Shipman charged that, 'if
disorderly soldiers, armed with loaded
muskets, occupied the space where the
passengers came on deck, and no notice
was given to the passengers of that fact,
that they might avoid the danger, or if
such soldiers rushed on to that space while
the other passengers were coming on
board, and conducted in quarrelsome and
disorderly manner for a considerable time,
during which the plaintiff was shot, with
out any effort on the part of the defend
ants, officers or crew to suppress the disor-
der and protect the passengers, or induce

BY reducing the army to 1900 men, the
people might save twenty million dollars
every Exchange.
Yes, twice that, but the Southern people
would be left to manage their own affairs
in their own way, subject only to the Con-
stitution of the United States" That's not
Republican doctrine, you know. Better
spend fifty millions year than allow such
heresies to prevail. 1t will do for the
North, but is not calculated for Southern
latitude, says the Black and Tanists.

CATTLE-The market contained an
ample supply OF the various descriptions OF
stock, whilst buyers were well represented.

The number of choice cattle offering was

were sold at decline from last weeks fio-
ures. The east was well represented, but
their purchases were not very extensive, as
the kind offered did not meet their expec-
tations. ....r s
The following States were represented
among the cattle sales: Pennsylvania, In
diana, Illinois and Ohio. The number of
Pennsylvania cattle arriving for several
weeks past was larger than usual, mainly
from Butler, Washington, Lawrence, Bea.
yer and Greene counties. -,
The current rates for the various descrip-
lions were: Choice fat steers, SS SOFAS 75;

were as follows:

The above show an increase in sales OF Of

SHEEP AND LAMBS-The market t
cor tained only moderate supply, a de-
cided falling off as compared with the week
previous IL may, however, De proper to
state that the supply was fully up to the
demand. As usual, fine fat sheep, suitable
for butchering purposes, were readily dis
posed of at full prices whilst common and
inferior grades were disposed of with con-
siderable difficulty at shade lower rates.
Good fat sheep ranged from So OO@5 so
per cwt. and extra Sc 90; of the latter the
offerings were light. Lambs were disposed
of at 81 50@3 so per head, according to
quality and condition.
HOGS-The market was dull one. The
sales were entirely for butchering pur-
poses. During the hot weather people gen.
orally buy more mutton and beef and less
pork, and this accounts for the very large
falling off in the demand for hogs. We
continue to quote in retail way at $40
