Fiendish Cruelty to a Child.

A man in Indianapolis, named O'Connell,
returned home about midnight. last Friday,
in drunken fit, and, finding nothing else to
demolish, attempted to kill widow lady's
child, which was asleep in the house. After
beating it for a long time, the tiend COM
menced biting its feet, nearly biting the big
toe off of its left foot. He then caught il
up and threw it through back window,
breaking out the glass and SASH The child
fell in narrow passage-way, which is paved
with rough cobble stones, and, while it lay
there, unable to rise, he went out and jump
ed upon it, when its loud cries brought out
the neighbors, who attempted to take 1t
from him. The moment the scoundrel saw
them coming, he caught it up by the neck
and ran across the back yard, kicking it at
every step. Climbing over low fence, he
attempted to lay it on the railroad track,
where it would have been run over in few
minutes. The parties who were following,
took the child in charge and sent for ply
stefan, who, upon examination, found that
its shoulder blade and collar bone were bro
ken, besides other injuries which are very
serious and perhaps fatal. O'Connell made
his escape, but was arrested yesterday after
noon, and will have a hearing this morning,
on the charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill.-JournaI.

they were guiltless of the charge, and order

he and most of his men had left them to

threatening to shoot them anyhow, one of
the men was shot through the thigh.

FerOciOus BabOOn.

An English steamer which arrived at
Liverpool from Africa short time since,
had on board three giant chacmas, or ba-
boons. They were very ferocious, and pos
sessed of great strength. For their safe Gus
tody, strong den with iron bars was pro-
vided, and placed near the forecastle, so
that they could constantly be under the eye
of the crew. On the morning of the second
day out, a crash was heard, and in an instant
a large chacma had wrenched several bars
off, and the next moment, was on the fore
castle, armed with the bars with which he
had been confined Here he paused for
moment and in dignifed manner surveyed
the sailors. A rope having been got, a moose
was formed and cast over his head, and he
struggled hard to extricate himself, but
without avail He then attacked one OF the
seamen, whom he seized by the arm, and,
notwithstanding that several men belabored
him with weapons, the brute would not re-
linquish his hold until he had torn the flesh
from above the elbow to near the wrist, and
had been rendered insensible, when he was
carried to his den

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, Aug. II.

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, Aug. IL.
Dear STANDARD In my last letter, I gave
your description of the trial of the alleged
murderers of Mary Lomax. Inow continue
the history of the outrages of the "White
Brotherhood" ycleped 'Ku Klux," in this
county.
Itseems that on the night of the 9Th of
July ult., fifteen disguised men visited the
cabin of Richard Maynard, an old colored
man, IS years of age, living in the Southern
portion of this county, broke open the door,
dragged him and Rufus Wharton, a colored
man on visit to Maynard's, into the open
air, stripped and fogged them, until the
blood run from the wounds of the old man.
They then brought out of the House Sarah
and Helen, his daughters, beat them, exposed
Sarah's person in the presence of her father,
who begged to be allowed to 90 into the
cabin, and by threats compelled Rufus
Wharton to lie with her, beating Rufus at
the time
An investigation before a magistrate in
that vicinity failed utterly in bringing the
offenders to justice.
His Honor, Judge Settle however, issued
bench warrant last week for the apprehen-
sion CT Samuel ahd Joseph Randolph, James
CEisman and James Hopkins on the affida-
Wit of Richard Maynard
The trial was had at Wentworth yester-
day. The above facts were elected together
with Others, when Samuel and Joseph Ran
dolph were committed to jail in default of
$500 bail each, and Chisman and Hopkins
discharged. The Judge requires solvent Sc
curity.
Simpson and Barham gave the requisite
bail, $4,000 each,) in the Mary Lomax case
on the 9th instant, and are now out of the
'jug."
We have had no rains in many weeks
The Dan River is very low, and the nights
are very COOL Vegetation is suffering, and
crops will be unusually short. Corn is five
dollars barrel and on the rise.
The eclipse was wonderful sight, and
impressed the minds of the unexpecting
with great awe.
Douglass, P o., five miles West of Went
worth, is at length permanently established.
This county appears to be tranquil now.

This Sharpe objects to being called a
carpet-bagger, and says he is Viryinian.
Sharpe says he went from Virginia to Ken
lucky where he was candidate for the office
of District Attorney in the Louisville dis
trict from Kentucky to Missouri, from Mis-
souri, to Chicago, ILL.,; from Chicago to
Memphis, Tenn, where he was candidate
for Congress from Memphis back to Vir-

When lie came here he had nothing visible
but carpet bag, which he lost on the
N. G. R. R., soon after he came here, or I
suppose he would have gone from here be-
fore this. What is Sharpe if he is not a
carpet bagger9 In reply to the article on
my character by this Sharpe in the Sentinel

my opinion of Sharpe to his face.

We clip from the hsder the following re-
port of the Petersburg tobacco markets,
August IS:
While the breaks yesterday were pretty fair as
to quantity, they consisted mostly of the inferior
grades, which caused the market to be less active
than for some days preceding. We, however,
could perceive no material change in the market,
and therefore continue our quotations for We'd
nesday-say, poor to common Tugs 81 so to so;
fair togood working IS so to 9; and very good
SO so to 10; short working leaf 50 TO so; me.
dunn to fair $40 so to II so; and good s12 to ID.
No fine coal OIL sun cured offering, though both
are much wanting. We note sales of shipping
leaf at $40 so to 10 so for medium to right good;
Sl3 to ID orgood. Notwithstanding the accounts
from the country regarding the growing crop
are SO bad, it docs not seem to have any effect
upon the market.
