HoRa1pLs NxoRo ouraAes.-From the

""yt W. Seo tho particulars OK the most tond.
ish outrage that has ever been committed in
any country, barbarousI or civilized. Il ap.
pears that. on Thursday last, swo respectable
young girls, residing near Station Ia, upon
the Central Road, were on their way home
from school, when they werc overtakep by
two stout negroes, who immediately seized
them, and despite their Screams for aid, com.
mitted a diabolicsl outrage. Having effected
their brutal decd Of violence, one Of tho nc.
grocs, who had but one arm, shook the mutt
lated stump Of the other in tho face Of the
eldest of the two girls, and exclaimed: ~
wants my revenge and I'm bound TO have il.
When l belonged to your father 1 ran away,
he followed me to tho woods and shot me, and
| had to lose this arm; do you SEQ it1 Now
I'm bound to get evon with him, and drawing
his pocket-knife, he severed her arm entirely
from her body, between the wrist and elbow
joint. The two scoundrels then broke away
and ran for the woods. Very fortunately the
girls had presence of mind enough to tie the
mutilated arm tightly above the elbow until
medical aid could be procured, and it is bare.
~ possible that the young sufferers life may
be spared.
The news Of this deed Of violence ran like
wild. fire all through the neighbrhood, and 10
a short time a mounted patrol was organised,
who volunteered to 60 in pursuit Of the scoun-
drcis. They soon found one Of them, whom
they questioned right sharply, but somehow
or other tue negro got lost somewhere in the
swamp, and the party returned home without
him. The other, and by far the worst of the
two, succeeded in escaping from that neigh.
borhood and made his way toward Macon.
COUNTERPART TIN DOLLAR NorEs.-The
new counterfeit ten dollar bills, which have
created so great an excitement among bankers
and United States tressurers, il Ia said are
tho finest executed coanterfeits ever thrown
upon the community. IA description Of tho
counterfeit from Washington says: AT frst
glance they seem to be . perfect imitation Of
the $40 greenbaok, and the printing seems
to have been done from tho original plate, but
there are points of difference which arc thus
noted; In tho original shading around tho
10 in the medallion appears like q 6ue net
work, runs CLOSE up to the figures. In the
counterfeit note this shading is "pioked up"
aud becomes coarse as it reaches the figures,
forming a light streak or q circular haze siui.
lar to that about the moon before rain.
There is no hazo in the genuine note. This
is a slight point for detection. A clearer one
is the fact that in the original notes, within
tho light oirole running under the figures 10,
thore are three and . third dotseQj1t the left
Of the figure one. In the counts hllI khe
one.third dot is missing. But anaihEailible
mark Of distinction is found under the left
wing Of the eagle. In the genuine notes ere
found distinot rows Of feathers under the
wing. In the oounterfeit these rows Of feath-
ers arc underlined, aud this seems to be tho
only weak point in the whole engraving.

GOVERNOR SENTER.--Goyernor Senter
met with . brilliant reception at Nashville,
Tuesday evening. He was, escorted from the
railway depot to- the City Hotel, where he
delivered a speech in response to the address
of Ex-Governor Neil Brown. In the course
of his remarks, Gov. Senter emphasized one
point, and that was that 10 Tennessee there
must be no prescription on account Of REBEL
ion, race or color; sufragessand the fullest
political and civil rights must be FREQ to oil.
He continued by saying that the wounds Of
sthe past must heal up, and that brotherly
love and fraternal feeling was now to be oul-
tivated all round in Tennessee. He thought
the circumstances were ripe for a new party,
which would discard dead issues and act upon
the living present. Bourbcnism Oh the one
hand and prosoriptive radicalism on the other
should be ignored and set aside, aud . new
departure taken, which would tend TO liberal
and progressive ideas ann measures. The
young men of the State, he said, carried the
recent election with suoh impetus that The
old judges were almost unable to decide how
far they had gone ahead. The wisdom OF
ego should temper Young America, but IL
was striding alonglike an Arab courser, His
remarks were received With shouts Of applause
and approval.--Morainy Star.
