On Wednesday last, about 10 o'clock in
the morning, a most brutal assault was made
by a negro man upon q respectable married
lady, living about two miles from Church
vile, in this county, Itappears that the lady
in question was alone in her own house at
the time, and while arranging her dress at
the glass, the negro entered thereon through
the kitchen, in almosta nude state, and seized
her from behind before she was aware of his
presence, and threw her violently on the
floor and greatly outraged her Her cries for
aid attracted the attention of little boy who
was near the house, who also Joined in the
cry for help, and this together with the fact
that the house of q neighbor was not far dis
tant, alarmed the brutal scoundrel and he
made his escape without accomplishing bis
diabolical purpose, but not without greatly
abusing and maltreating the lady She Inn
rnediately went before Justice Of the Peace
and made the proper oath and obtained q
warrant for his arrest, which Was placed in
the hands ofthe Sheriff, who at once started
in search of the villain but up to the time OF
going to press he has not been arrested. The
negro was an entire stranger to the lady which
may make it. somewhat difficult to identity
him. ao,e se.,'s,s,r ~ ID, g,,.,,,,
b Noticing since we were called upon tore
port similar outrage upon an estiinable lady,
and little thought at the time that we should
be so soon called upon to record another; but
lamentable as it is such is, the fact. Wen
derstand that the people of the neighborhood
where this revolving and diabolical crime was
attempted are greatly incensed and excited
about the affair. Besides this case, we have
heard it stated that but few days age a
young lady was chased by negro man from
afield in the vicinity of her fathers resi-
dence, for the purpose, as is supposed, Of
committing an outrage upon her person
But about this latter case we know nothing
more than we have stated, and we give it as
rumor conveyed 1t to us, without vouching
for its accuracy. a's9 30 BARTER b

Let Us Have Pence.

Among the olive branches which have
been promptly held out upon the reas'
sembling Of Congress, in response to the
maxim Of General Grant, Let rs have
peace" is the bill introduced by Senator
Rice upon the first day Of the session,
requiring the Secretary Of War to de-
liver to the Governors of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Arkansas, at the
seat Of Government, OF each Of said
States, for the use Of the militia thereof,
as many serviceable Springfield rifed
muskets of calibre 6fty.e eight, With accou-
trements, and serviceable feld-pieces
with equipments, as the Governor OF
each State, respectively, shall require,
not exceeding two thousand rihed mus
kets and two feld-pieces for each con-
gressional district in those States. 1t is
also required that the arms are to be de-
livered only on certificates of the Gov
ernors showing to the satisfaction of the
Secretary Of War that the regiments and
companies for which they are required
are organized Of loyal citizens.
1t will be remembered that the States
for which this extraordinary military
provision is asked for the preservation OF
order are all reconstructed States. This
is the working of q dangerous process of
restoring the Union. This, moreover, is
the peace which was to be assured to the
country by the election of General Grant,
but which we hardly think is OF the sort
meant by him when he coined his famous
expression.
tits only in the hands of loyal citi-
zeps that it is proposed arms shall be
placed 1t is well enough known what
is meant by that designation. By loyal
citizens is meant the black aBd white
Radicals of the South, all others being
considered rebels, now and forever. The
proposition, therefore, is simply to arm
one party in the reconstructed States
against another, and to hold down the
mass of the Southern white population
by the bayonets of their former slaves.
What use these so-called loyal men
will make of their authority is not diff
cult to divine from the experiences of
Tennessee and Arkansas. Populations
which would cheerfully submit to the SOL
ders of the United States, will only be
goaded into revolt and resistance by the
arming of party among themselves,
and that party composed of the most
ignorant and reckless part of the popula-
ton, to stand sentry over them
"Let us have peace" The derange-
ment of business and labor which must
follow protracted disorder and strife in
the South cannot fail to affect iDjuriously
the interests of the whole nation. If
ultra partisans care not for the peace or
welfare of the Southern States, let them
at least care for the prosperity of other
sections, and take heed lest the steel
they plunge through the South reach the
vitals of the country.-Baltimore Sun.
