tn ed.

Arrivals from Marion yesterday even
ing state that two scouting parties Of
twenty-five each, had been sent out the
previous day-oue down the river Mis-
sissippi) and the other out on TyTongis
river. The one which went down the
river, went to the place Of Mrs. Ward,
some fifteen miles below Memphis, and
completely sacked il. They broke up
and destroyed every particle of furniture,
even to the pictures on the wall, AMI
stole three hundred dollars in currency
that Mrs. Ward had been saving. Mrs.
Ward is well known in Memphis, and il
the sister of Mai. Earle.
This party returned to Marion yester-
day evening, bringing with them seven
stolen mules and other plumber. From
the other party (the D which went out
on the TyroDGis) nothing has as yet
been heard. We suppose accounts OF
their atrocities will be received to-day.
Gentlemen who were ia the stockade
yesterday afternoOs, say that there are
three persons yet left in the jail, to wit {:
MGssrs. Waff0rd, Crump and LOvelace.
They report that the most inhuman tor
lures are still prseticeG upon them, and
that hSmbScre1os have been used until

A Youpg Girl Shot.

Another OF those shameful affairs,
which VI are sorry to say are occurring
with such frequency in u city as to
give il q character abroad which would
disgrace a semi barbarous condition of
society, occurred yesterday morning
about four O'Clock at the house of a man
named O'Neii, ct the end of Court street,
near Ire Charleston depot. 1t seems
that a bail had been given at O'Neils,
and among the guests was 3 man named
Gargin, who had q 4 f1culty with an
other guest. Blows followed hard words,
and SOON pistols were drawn and shots
exchanged. Fortunately or unfortu-
nstely, the ball from Garvin's pistol
missed its aim aud struck a little giFl, a
daughter Of O'Neil's, iDflicting g painful,
though not 8 serious wound, in the groin.
No earthly u can be made for this
piece OF barbsrism, and we hope that all
may be summarily dealt with by
tue police authorities,

oept oilcG -es and ~mensgeries, which
are expressly excluded, are taxable IN

nitloAs ere certainly comprehensive
enough.
II may be that the case OF Mrs. Yel-
