Tennessee Negroes Give White
Man Six Hundred Lashes.
Mooresburg Correspondence Knoxville Press
and Heraid.l F1
A most degrading and diabolical act was
committed in this vicinity by six negroes
on last Sunday evening. 1t appears
that negro named George Kyle, charged
a worthy young man in the employment
of Colonel James Simpson, with bewitch-
ing him. Kyle insisted that his hat
would not remain on his head, but was
continually being knocked off by an in
visible hand. On Sunday evening Kyle
burned his hat in the presence of other
negroes, and by his frenzied appeals in
duced five of them to accompany him to
the house of the young man. They
seized him, carried him to the woods and
tied him to tree with his feet above
ground. Each negro then gave the un-
fortunate victim of their rage one hun
dred lashes, in all six hundred stripes.
The blood ran in streams from his body.
They then knocked out his front teeth
and turned him loose
The family Of the young man is re-
spectacle and industrious, and have done
more work for Colonel James Simpson,
in clearing land, than ] ever saw per
formed in the same time and by the
same number of hands. The outrage is
about to be investigated. I. W.
The above statement we received by
mail. The author is respectable citi-
zen of Hawkins county and we have no
doubt of the truth of the horrible story.

Our upper class does not differ much
from the upper class of European society
so far as manners and refinement are
concerned, but there is no such middle
class in Europe as our plain people, no
class so well taught and so we'll bred, so
dignified and gentle, so independent and
respectful Our plain people are not
rude, and with us the terms gentleman
and lady do not have their usual Euro
pean meaning. With us these words
refer to character, and not mainly, as in
Europe, to birth and position. With us
a gentleman is man of gentle spirit,
who subdues his selfish impulses into
social courtesy and bears a thoughtful
and genial humanity in his speech and
habit. Such persons are found among
US in all stations. Il seemed to me that

Fenian BuII-An Interview with vi.
car General STAIRS.

From the New York Sun, Sth.l
A reporter of the Sun called yesterday
morning upon Father STAIRS, the Vicar
General of the State, and had an interes-
ting conversation with him relative to
the reported Papal bull against the
Fenians. Said the reporter, " Father
STAIRS, we have received information
that the Papal bull is not directed
against the Fenians of America. "
Father Starrs-There is no bull in ex-
istence against the Fenians that / am
aware of. There seems to be an extra
ordinary amount of error on the subject.
The fact is that certain Irish and Eng
lish Bishops presented communication
to the Holy Father, and this reported
bull is simply an answer to them. Had
it been official it would necessarily have
been my dnty to have issued orders that it
should be read in every pulpit; but it is
optional, and rests entirely with the
Bishops discretion as to whether he
shall use it or not.
Reporter suppose if it had been a
Papal bull its reading would have been
compulsory.
~ dlHtT DItTTS7-1lOSl dSSuTtQll
Reporter-Well, perhaps Papal bull
will be published?
Father Starrs-That cannot tell you.
! saw the bishops who returned the other
day, and they had nothing official to
communicate to me on the point.
Reporter-What is your opinion2
Father Starrs-I would prefer not to
be asked. If there is anything official, |
will gladly communicate it to the Sun, a
journal Of which have high opinion,
But at the present time there is nothing
of the sort, so far as | know officially.
Reporter-But will you tell me in what
light the Fenians of America are consid-
cred? Do they not at Rome make a diff
ference between them and the Irish
Fenians?
Father Starrs-That i would prefer
not to speak Of. am willing to say the
Fenians of America are not considered
dangerous, whereas the others are de-
cidedly imbued with fearful principles,
which they put into practice
Reporter-Then | may state that no
Papal bull will be issued against the
American Fenians2
Father Starrs-No, you may not II
you choose to draw that inference can
not help it, but you must not state it on
my authority | viii say that in my
opinion it will be unwise to stir into ac-
tiyity body of men who have already
fallen into contempt. -
Reporter-Do yod think so, Father2
Father Starrs-I cannot but believe
that men despise SO much bluster accom-
panied with SO little action, and the de-
spicable collection of small sums from
the poorest people of America. Here
the worthy priests nose fell to bleeding,
and the interview ceased abruptly.

The Saturday Review, in pungent
article on high life" suggested evidently
by the Mordaunt scandal, observes, The
court of the English sovereign is now
only an historical Institution, but it did
some good, and now that we have lost it
we are persuaded that it did more good
than we gave it credit for 1t was a
standard. The Crown did give hints
about moralities and indecencies. We
used to hear how Queen Charlotte and
Queen Adelaide managed to convey lit
tie hints, which we never hear of now.
Since we have had no court in England,
high life has sensibly deteriorated. Bas-
inghall street (the Insolyent Court and
the Divorce Court disillusionize Bank

From the Winnipeg New Nation, March Ill
Mr.. Robert Mcfarland, of Fort Simp-
son, arrived here on the 25th inst, and,
as a result of that arrival we have been
enabled to CLEAN good deal of interest
ing and valuable Information for our
readers, who have very faint and i'm
perfect conception indeed of travel in
the wilds of the North in the winter; and
chiefly for their benefit we append the
following brief statements:
MKENzIE RIVER DISTRICT.
Fort Simpson, in latitude nearly co.
north, the headquarters of the Mckenzie
river district, is situated at the confu-
ence of the Laird and Mckenzie rivers.
Mr.. Mcfarland left the Fort on the 30th
of November last, and arrived here, as
we have said, on the 25th inst, making
the distance, about 2l00 miles, in 46 trav-
cling days. He came on pleasure trip
to his friends in the North of Scotland;
and few, save daring and adventurous
inhabitant of the Northwest, would ever
undertake such journey for such an
object.
THE MAIL TRAIN FROM THE FAR NORTH.
For over month and half Mr. Nc
Farland and his companion were travel
ing through frozen wastes with two trains
of dogs. Mr.. Mcfarland supposed him
self to be on a pleasure trip.
The other man carried the mail. They
had train of four dogs each. One sled
carried the mail, provisions and bedding.
On the other Mr.. Mcfarland rested, but
very seldom, when tired with his long
run. This, let us inform our foreign
readers, is the express mail train Of Ru-
pert's Land; and for hundreds of miles
at time, occasionally, the only signs of
life in the vast wilderness, appear to be
these two dog trains and their drivers.
HUSKY DOGS
The dogs employed in this species of
travel, though not very large, are OF pow,
erful breed They are called "huskies,
are cross between the Esquimaux dog
and some other variety of the canine
species, and are not unlike wolf in size
and appearance In the present in
stance, each of the dog trains made, on
an average, rather more than 40 miles
per day during this tremendous journey.
Dogs Of this class not uncommonly make
GO miles day, but we have heard it said
that the above is the longest continuous
journey ever made by the same dogs.
MODE OF TRAvEL-MEALs.
They generally started at two o'clock
in the morning, though occasionally, in
consequence Of bad weather, it was six
O clock before they got under way. They
breakfasted before starting, stopped an
hour and half for dinner, and then went
on till sunset. Provisions for the men
were obtained at every post, and also for
the dogs. The latter sometimes got
about half pound of pemican each at
midday and fish or two at night; and
yet, with all their scanty fare and hard
travelling, when they arrived at Carlton
they were as fresh as the day they first
started out having made their 2SO0
miles.
