A. T. & 0. RAILRoAD.-We learn that
the injunction which was granted against
the issue of 81, 100000 of State Bonds to
the A. Il. & 0. Railroad known as the
Road from Charlotte to Statesville) has
been dissolved, and that the Public Treas
urer has issued the Bonds to Mr. Johnston,
the President of the Road. How, when
and where the injunction was dissolved,
we are not informed, but presume We
could find out if it was necessary to inves-
tigate the matter. 1t is said the iniunc-
ton was dissolved several weeks ago, but
we only learned the fact a few days since.
We are glad, however, that there is now
no excuse for delay in commencing work
on the Road, and we hope it will be push
ed forward to early completion. The
work ought to have been commenced long
ago.
Judge Watts is the officer who granted
the injunction against the issue of Bonds
to this Road-we know he had no good
legal cause to grant the Injunction no
doubt he had good cause to dissolve it

A HORRIBLE OUTRAGE. hardly know
to keep up with these times. A horrible
outrage is now rela ted us as having beer
perpetrated by negro upon the person of
young white girl in Chatham county
week before last. as told to us we can but
sicken at the black villainy of the offence
and shudder to think of the awful punish
ment that followed. If there be in the
awful account we give any incorrectness,
we hope to be informed, and we will be
quick in placing it before our readers. II
was told US as follows: The young white
girl had been over to neighbor's-about
three miles off-and was returning home
when intercepted in the road by negro
man who dragged her into the woods. He
carried out his hellish purpose and tied
her to tree. There he kept her all the
night. The next day he brought her some
thing to eat He told her he would be
back at night. But in evening her friends
who were on the hunt, found her and she
told them what the negro had said. They
placed guard in ambush and caught him
when he came. They asked the girl what
they should do with him, and she said
" skin him alive" And they skinned him.
