OUTRAGE. on Sunday afternoon
last violent outrage was committed by a
negro man on most estimable married
lady, about Eve miles northeast Of this
place. The lady was SO much abused,
and so seriously injured, that up to the
time Of writing she has been unable to
give any detailed account of the brutal
conduct Of the negro.
This is the fourth or fifth affair Of this
kind which has happened in this county
within the past year, in which negroes
have been the actors and white women the
sufferers. In this instance, the lady was re-
turning from church, and had left the bug
gy of her husband but few minutes be-
fore this outrageous assault was made
upon her. Her husband, it seems, con-
ducts or carries on two farms, and in pas
sing the one on which he resides, he put
his wife out few hundred yards from the
dwelling, intending her to walk the bal
ance of the distance, while he drove to his
second farm to see after things there, and
Immediately after he had got out of sight
the attack was made upon her.
On Monday a negro was arrested and
placed in the county Jail on suspicion Of
being the guilty party, and the lady, hav-
ing sufficiently recovered, has fully iden-
tilted him as the same who made the as
sault upon her.--Bel dir, Md. Kgis.

On Tuesday, the 3D. instant, most hor-
rible crime was committed near Swainsbo-
ro, Emanuel county, by a negro named
Pierce Bolding, upon the person of Miss
Wiggins, young lady of fifteen years, and
the daughter of a respected citizen of that
county. 1t appears that she was on her
way to school in the village, when the ne
gro rushed from. the roadside, knocked her
senseless and accomplished his purpose /;
she was found lying insensible by pas
ser-by and carried home, and on recovering,
related what had occurred. The officers
of the law and others started in pursuit of
the scoundrel and overhaulcd him near
Snmmerville, in the same county, from
whence he was carried to Jail, when he
confessed having committed the deed.
The same night body of armed men pro-
ceedcd to the Jail, took him out and hung
him. Previous to his execution, he sta
ted that he and several negroes had form
ed plan on that day to violate the person
of several young ladies', who attended
school in the village, but the others over
slept themselves, and he started out alone
and Miss Virgins was the first one he
met,-=Sacanaah (Ga, Ne,es, Nopen.Jer 8.

The National Intelligencer, of Monday,
devotes two column panegyric to Thad-

the Republicans have cause to fear that
the Democrats will turn them out of house

their property, but to all their public men.
A certain part of them have already laid
claim to Chase and Grant, and are now
about to lay hands upon the defunct

sion that drastic cathaaic is greatly

The Cecil Whig made its appearance
again, on Saturday last, after but one
weeks suspension on account of the fire.
The editor has evinced great energy and
industry in reGtting his office, and re-
suming the publication of his paper. He
thinks the fire was the work of an incen-
dary; but we should think him wrong In
that conclusion. A more probable sup
position is, that there were matches about
the establishment, which were probably
ignited by mice. We narrowly escaped
being burnt outin that way, once, ourself.

THE GUILLEAART MuRDER.-The Cen
treyille Observer of Tuesday last, says =
The trial of Martha Starkey, negress, in
dicted for the murder Of Remy Guillemart
came to close on Saturday, the Court
rendering verdict Of ''not guilty." This
verdict was the only one which the law
and the evidence would warrant, though
there are very few, if any, who think the
woman innocent. All her confessions
were made, it seems, after she was threat
ened with punishment, and were ruled out
of evidence. There were other circum.
stances which pointed strongly to her as
the guilty party, but the chain was not
strong enough to warrant conviction.
Lynch law is seriously threatened.

No I1DEcKEr medical advertisements are in |
serted In either the COMMERCIAL or Delaware
TRIBuNE. In this we stand alone In New Castle
county.
No, no, Messieurs Of the Commercial,
not quite alone. We will admit nothing
Of the kind into our columns. There is
Rlth and obscenity enough in the world.
without having it perpetually thrust under
the eye Of the public in our newspapers.
We have rejected enough Of this sort Of
advertising to have filled all our columns.
Only week before last, we rejected one for
which we were offered forty dollars. We
see these publications in nearly all our
exchanges, but we will not publish them.
We prefer to fill the space they would oc-
cupy with interesting and instructive rea-
ding matter. We think there is some
thing due to subscribers, as well as adver-
tisers, and we do not feel disposed to serve
one to the detriment of the other. Our
paper goes into the hands Of youth, beauty
and innocence, whose sense of modesty
and propriety will never be shocked by
the publication of such indecency in these
columns. We think the newspaper pub
Usher is as responsible for the moral tone
Of his paper, as he is for his own individ-
ual conduct. Indeed, he ought to be
more so; for while his personal conduct
is brought to the observation of very
limited circle of people, his paper is read
by thousands, and the virus of its evil in
fucnce, where it is evil, is spread far and
wide in society. Would that there were
more general appreciation of their re-
sponsibilities by newspaper publishers.
Society would be benefited by it.
Not only indecent medical advertise
ments are rejected from these columns,
but all publications intended to humbug
the public. and thus put money in the
purse Of artful and designing knaves.
There are scores and hundreds of such,
who are willing to pay the press literally
for their advertisements, because they find
their profit in it. These publications are
sent out chiefly through city advertising
agencies, and we have refused to publish
whole columns of them within the last
few months There is certain degree Of
confidence awarded by the unwary and
inexperienced to every thing they see
published in the columns of their favorite
newspaper, hence they are the more easily
imposed upon by these designing knaves,
and indirectly robbed of their money
For instance, we turn to one of our neigh
boring exchanges, and clip the following
from its advertising columns:
/ WoNDERFuL.--How either sex may instantly
gain the undying love of any person they choose
The single, married, the married happy, and
WISE IN TINE. Simple harmless and sure. Also,
Journal of love, Secret of Success, How to Gel
Rich, etc. All mailed free for 20 cents. 100, OOC
sold.
These and similar humbugs, much
more specious, abound in all the papers,
but we will not publish them at any price,
because it would be an imposition upon
our readers.
