Fiendish Outrage and Swift Punish
ment--Six Demons Sent 20 FheEr
Home.
FoRr ScoTT, May 13.-An account of one
of the most diabolical affairs ever recorded
is published in o-day's Monitor. .r
On Tuesday six men, either Texans or
struggling outlaws from the Indian terri
tory, came to the town of Isadore, a few
miles south of here.
After drinking all day they went to the
boarding house Of ]. n. Roach and asked
to stay all night. Being refused on account
of their drunken condition, the party
knocked Roach insensible with revolver,
then went to the room occupied by two
daughters of Roach, aged .gelve aud four
teen, and perpetrated nameleSs outrages.
Mr.. Roach revived after a time, but
still feared, knowing he would be killed if
he did go. He describes the cries and en-
treaties of the girls as heart-rending. A
quarrel arose among the demons and one
was shot dead.
At daybreak the party fed, one taking
with him to the woods the youngest girl.
The town was Immediately reused, and
parties started in every direction in search
of the fends. The one with the girl was
soon overtaken and hung to tree. Two
others were found secreted in town, and
hung to The same tree. The remaining
three we're also captured and two hung.
The other one at last accounts was in the
custody of the citizens, but will probably
share the fate of his companions.
The universal verdict here that in this
instance at least the summary measure Of
inficting punishment is entirely justified.

THE LATE BISHOP SOULE.

In the address of the Bishops, read by
DR.. Wightman, of South Carolina, before
the Methodist General Conference at
Memphis, were the following remarks upon
the life and character of the late Bishop
SOule:
With profound emotion we announce
to you that since your last session our
venerable and beloved colleague, Joshua
Soule, has departed this life. His death
occurred in Nashville, Tenn. March 6,
1867, in the 67th year of his life, and the
10th year of his intinerant ministry. In
many respects Bishop Soule was remark
able man. At the time of his death he was
probably the Oldest travelling preacher in
America, if not in the world; and was
thus the connecting link between the
Methodism of Wesley and Ashbury and
that of the present day. Throughout
his whole ministerial life he was eminent
ly devoted to God, and employed exclu-
sively in the service of the Church; often
filling positions of the highest RESPONSE
bility, and always honorably and useful.
His mind was clear and vigorous, his de-
pertinent dignified, and his whole course
was marked by consistency, purity, and
answering fidelity to principle. Wheth-
er view ed as man, Christian or minis
ter, or as filling the highest Office in the
Church for forty three years, his charac-
ter deserves to be held in the highest es-
TEEN, and his memory 10 be perpetuated
in the history of the Church. We de-
voutly thank God for such man, and fol-
the gifts and grace which rendered his
eventful life so useful, his declining years
and closing days so beautifully serene, so
sublimely triumphant.

A Violent Rockologis,.

John Williams, turbulent negro of tie
Guinea species, yesterday tried to demolish
with rocks a family of negro children in
the Tenth ward. Their father, who had
been absent from home at his work, arrived
just in the nick of time to prevent the
destruction of his juvenile hopefuls, and,
being the better man of the two, succeeded
in giving the rockologist a terrible bea'-
ing. Williams subsequently fell into the
police net and was locked up for future
consideration. This latter circumstance
made him very mad, and he wildly cursed
tho fates because a colored person could
not be allowed to toss few rocks at chill
dren of his own race without being whip
ped by their father and jerked up by the
officers of the law. He evidently thought
the circumstances unfriendly to the pro-
tracted liberties of rufianism.

a Warning to BOYS.

Two boys, one 10 years OF age, the other
not over 16, and neither of whom has re-
sided long in the city, were last night ar
rested on North Vine street for promenad-
ing with disreputable females. At the
station-house the erring children protested
their ignorance of the law; said it was
their first offense and should be the last.
They wept and begged piteously that they
might be forgiven. After warning the
boys to be more careful in the future, and
admonishing them to avoid even the ap-
pearance of evil, Sergeant Alexander re-
leased the hayward children, telling them
to go home and learn how to avoid evil
associations. TheyIheartily expressed their
gratitude, and promised to heed the good
advice SO kindly given.

CHICAGO, May 12.-The st. Paul Press
| published letter from Duluth, which says
that large body Of armed Fenians had
arrived at that place en- route for he'd river
to aid Riell. Each man is armed with a
breach-l3ading rifle, pistol, and knife.
The first stroke will be the capture OF Fort
Francis on Rainy Lake, which Will be
garrisoned by few men, while the main
force will harrass and dispute the passage
of the British troops through rivers,
swamps, and mountains from Fort William
to Red river At the proper time they
viii march down and join Riells forces.
One party has already started overland
by the Vermillion road. Another will
soon follow, and a third is preparing to go
to the same destination in canoes VIA st.
Louis and Vermilhon rivers. Another large
party is reported at Superior river, which
will march directly west to Red river. The
forces at Duluth are said to be commanded
by distinguished Confederate officer who
fought Gen. Banks in the Louisiana cam
paign The men are nearly all ex-soldiers.
Many French Canadians accompany them,
and they have secured the services of sew
eral Indian and half-breed guides and one
or two old employees of the Hudson Bay
Company, who are perfectly familiar with
the country to be operated in. The Press
does not vouch for the truth of the above
intelligence. Everything is quiet at Red
river, and Riell is expecting favorable
news from Canada. n
Confirmation strong.

relative concentration of Fenians at Dun

Fenian cans in various parts of Minnesota.
