Fiendish Outrage Near Macon, Ga,

tlendlsh outrage Near Macon, Ga.
We learn, says the Macon Journal
and Messenger, of the l7th inst, from
q gentleman who is engaged in laying
out the railroad track on the new
Brunswick Road, that on THURSDAY
last two respectable young girls re.
siding near Station II, upon the Cen
trail Road, were on their way home
from school, when they were overtak
en- by two stout negroes, who imme-
diately seized them, and despite their
screams for aid committed a diaboli-
cal outrage. Having effected this
brutal deed of violence, ono of the
negroes, who had but one arm, shook
the mutilated stump Of the other in
tho face of the eldest of the two
girls, and exclaimed, "I wants re.
venge, and I intend to have it. When
l belonged to your father T ran away;
he followed me to the woods and sh OF
me, and have to lose this arm, do
you see it? Now TIM bound to get
even with him. and drawing his
pocket knife he severed the arm en-.
tirely from her body, between the
wrist and elbow joint. The two seoun
drels 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 pro.
cured, and it is barely possible that
the young sufferers life may be spared :.
The news of tho decd of violence
ran like wildfire all through the neigh.
borhood, and in a short time a mount
cd patrol was organized, who volun-
teered to 60 in pursuit of the scoun-
drcls. They soon found one of them
whom they questioned right sharply,
but somehow or other the 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 neighborhood and made his way
toward Macon. Wo are informed that
negro answering his description was
seen at place known as Sandy Bot
tom>o Sunday night last, and yester-
day the police were in hot search af-
ter him, q reward of FIVE hundred dol.
lars having been offered for his cap
ture.
The f,llowing is pen and ink port.
rait Of tho villain, as he has been des-
cribed to us by those acquainted with
his person: The man goes by the
name of "Bob." lie is about five
feet ton inches or six feet high, of q
ginger cake complexion, solid and
compact in build, and very quick
spoken when addressed. His right
arm has been cut of at the shoulder
joint, and he has lost his left eye. He
has also we'll defined scar upon his
left cheek.
It is to be hoped that the Governor
of the State will, offer the customary
reward for his apprehension, for he is
too dangerous negro to be permitted
to be at large. If captured in this
city the negro will probably be
brought before jury Of twelve men
to answer for his crimes.

CHINESE IMMiGRArIoN.- emf
grant from Europe is, to our idea,
far moro desirable than an emigrant
from Asia. Indeed, in this Chinese
movement, under the present state of
public opinion in regard to the equali.
ty of races, we see nothing but dan
ger to the Republic.
The Caucasian blood is the blood
th9t takes most kindly to Christianity
and civilization, and we want the white
race to be forever the ruling race in
this country.
The peasantry--the laboring classes
of any country-are its bone and
sinew. From them comes the mate
rial which invigorates the enfeebled
upper classes, whom wealth and luxu-
ry have enervated. They are the
revivifying power Of people--thcy
constitute the proper manhood of a
country. If the laboring classes are
of the blood of heroes and sages--of a
race aboundipg with the qualities of
wisdom, enterprise, and pluck their
characteristics will be the oharaoteris-
tics OF the country. If they are of
an inferior race, they will make the
country inferior also.
For these reasons we want to see
the white race own America, preserve
here great and free government,
and advance the character and inter.
esta Of humanity.
There are other ways to become a
richer, but this is the way to become
free, virtuous, and happy, people.
Arts, wealth, commerce, military pow.
er, may flourish after freedom has de-
parted from the the people, but only
for while. In o brave, hardy, vigo.
rous, virtuous race of men is the hope
of every country, and never were tru.

WHAT THE PROPHET THINKS OF rHI
NEGRO QUEsTIoN-THE WAY THE LAT
TER-DAY SAINTS DEAL WITH THE IN
| DlANs.
The editor of the Washington Star
writing from Salt Lake City, under
date of July 20, says:
We had some curiosity to ascertain
how The Mormons stood on the negro
question, and the following was The
result of the inquiries propounded
Correspondent. care there any
negroes in your Territory 2"
Brigham. GA few there arc
a considerable number scattered thro'
the Territory"
Correspondent. care they here as
members Of the Mormon Church or as
| GentileS 70
Brigham. "They are connected
with the Church"
Correspondent. "What is their
status here in the Territory Z"
Brigham. "Wo consider Thorn and
treat them as what they are, tho sons
of Cain"
Correspondent. "Arc they admit
tod to equal fellowship in your
Church :"
Brigham. "No distinction is
made against them rs members of the
! Church, but they arc not eligible to
any office, either civil or religious.
a good many Of them were brought
here by Southern brethren when thoy
camo from the States. They are in.
dustrious and useful members of the
community"
Correspondent. elbow many In
dians have you in the Territory 2"
Brigham. ssI have no idea. The
tribes are migratory. Those within
the Territory when We came have all
died out.'
Correspondent. "Have you been
disturbed as q people by the In
dians2"
Brigham. We have not. The
principal difficulty with the Indians
grew out of depredatious committed
by passing travellers. The Indians re.
taliatod upon Mormon settlers. If
you will wait moment, will relate
little incident. showing our mode of
dealing with the Indians. When our
band Of l43 pioneers came out to To-
cate II place here for settlement, when
we came to the Pawnee country, thro'
which the Immigrant travel passed,
the Indians undertook to levy tribute
upon us, according to their practice
among emigrants. We had but lit
tie to give them, but gave what "
could spare. The Indians were dis
satisfied and demanded more. No
word was spoken, but the signal was
given to each captain, and in a mo.
mcnt every man had his rifle leveled
and our cannon was trained on the In
dians we then started on our way,
the Indians standing in mute astonish-
ment. That has been our policy ever
since in dealing with the Indians to
treat them kindly, but to dictate to
them instead of being dictated to by
them, and to let them know that we
think little better of ourselves than
we do Of them"
The vim with which Brigham gave
utterance to the views of the Indian
question, and his rantankerous ex-
preston of countenance at the came
time, indicat ted that he is a good deal
of muscular Christian, and has no
faith in Quaker commissioners.

Don't Stay Late To- Night.

The heart of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light;
And lovely eyes are cleaning,
As fall the shades of night;
And while thy steps are leaving
The circles pure and bright,
A tender voice, half grieving,
Says, Don't stay late tonight.
The world in which thou movest,
Is busy, brave and wide;
The world Of her thou lowest
Is at the ingle side;
She waits for thy warm greeting
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice entreating,
Says, Don't stay late tonight"
The world, cold, inhuman,
Will spurn thee, if thou fall;
The love of one poor woman
Outlasts and shames them all;
Thy children will cling around thee,
Let fate be dark or bright;
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then, Don't stay late tonight"

The KIND OF PoTAToEs TO PLANT.-The
Country Gentleman says: There is almost al
ways toe much seed planted-too many eyes to
the bill. We might as we'll expect to raise large
ears OF corn with ten or twelve stalks to the
hill, as large potatoes with the same amount of
vines In a hill. | have tried every way Of seed
ing, and with me the best is to select large,
smooth, well developed tubers-d iscardng deep
eyed and prongy specimens; for [ believe in
potatoes as well as in other things ''Eke begets
like. Cut them to one eye, in a piece and
put one piece in the hill plant in drills three
feet apart, and hills eighteen inches apart in the
drills, and at digging time you will find few
small potatoes. On no account plant the very
small potatoes cook them and feed them to the
hogs: L believe that the main cause of potatoes
running out, IS planting small or medium seed,
and continuing it year after year.
