Outrage i'm Hawkins County

A correspondent of the knoxville Press
and Herald, writing from Mooresbarg,
Hawkins county, gives the following par
ulars Of horrible outrage in that county:
A most degrading and diabelical act was
committed in this vicinity, by six negro IS,
on last Sunday evening. It appears that a
negro, named Geo. Kyle, charged a worthy
young man in the employment Of Col Jas
Simpson, with bewitching him. Kyle m
sisted that his hat would not remain OE his
head. but was eOntinually being knocked
off by an invisible hand On Sunday eve
ming Kyle burned his hat in the presencsof
other negroes, and by his frenzied appeals
induced five of them 10 accompany him to
the house Of the young man. They seized
him, carried him to the woods, and tied
him to a tree, with his feet above ground
Each negro then gave the unfortunate VIC
tim of their rage 100 lashes-in all 600
stripes. The blood run In streams from
his body. They then knocked out his front
teeth and Turned him loose.
The family Of the young man is respect
able and industrious, and have done more
work for Col James Simpson, in clearing
land, than 1 ever saw performed IN the ssme
time and by the same number Of hands.
The OUTRAGE is about to be investigated

RECONSTRUCTION PROSPECTS

From the Columbia Herald
Judge Hilary Ward, of Pulaski, who
passed through our city several week ago
on his way to Washington City, for the
purpose of using his influence against the
reconstruction of Tennessee, returned last
Wednesday. He thinks there is no dan
ger whatever that the State will have to
undergo the worst form of reconstruction,
and the probabilities are strong against
sny Congressional interference at all.
There is some talk of setting aside the
new Constitution recently adopted by the
people of Tennessee, upon the ground
that the leading members of the Conyen-
ton which formed it, were ineligible and
disfranchised by the Sd section of the
Fourteenth Amendment. Judge Ward
thinks that even this will not meet with
much favor in Congress. Five members
of Congress from Tennessee are taking
no part in the effort to reconstruct the
State, and several of them are very zeal
nqS and influential in their opposition TO
tic ubiquitous programme. He met Gen.
Sherman, whom he found to be strongly
opposed to the reconstruction scheme and
thinks the President is of the same temp,
er. Our people, notwithstanding TIM;
pleasant news, should not lose a sing.C
opportunity of disproving the vile slaGder!
| AGAINST them. Let such eX-Federal sol
diers as Maj. Wilson and others, testify
whether or not our people are law abid
ing.

his official acts during his absence. These
acts, so far as they have been related in
this paper, were condemned by the ma
jority of the constitutional advisers of
the President, and he was constrained by
their advice to revoke his own acts, and
withdraw all official papers that he had
issued in the premises, which he did in
the following executive order, transmit
ted by telegraph:
OFFICE UNITED STATES MILITARY TEL
EGRAPH, WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON,
d. c., April u, 1S65.-Maj. Gen. Welt
eel, Richmond, Va: ] have just seen
Judge Campbell's letter to you of the 9TH.
He assumed, as appears to me, that |
have called the insurgent Legislature of
Virginia together, as the rightful Legisla-
ture of the State, to settle all differences
with the United STATES. l have done no
such thing. | spoke of them not as a
Legislature, but as the gentleman who
have acted as the Legislature of Viz
ginia in support of the rebellion. "
| did this on purpose to ex-
clude the assumption that l was recog-
nizing them as rightful body. | dealt
with them as men having power de fscto
to do certain thing, to wit: ''To with
draw the Virginia troops and other sup
port from resistance to the general gov
eminent" for which, in the paper hand
ed to Judge Campbell, promised spec
flied equivalent, t. wit: a remission to
the people of the State, except in certain
cases, of the confiscation of their prop
erty, meant this and no more, Inasmuch
however, as Judge Campbell misconstrues
this, and is still pressing for an armistice,
contrary to the explicit statement of the
paper / gave him, and particularly as
General Grant has since captured the Viz
ginia troops, so that giving a considera
ton for their withdrawal is no longer ap-
plicable, let my letter to you, and the
paper to Judge Campbell both be with
drawn or countermanded, and he be not
titled of it. Do not allow them to assem-
bic, but if any have come, allow them
safe return to their homes.
A. LINCOLN.
Thus terminated Mr.. Lincoln's first and
last actual effort at political reconstruc-
ton, and thus ended in nothing all the
good results he hoped to accomplish by
his visit to the rebel capital.

Terrible Boiler ExpiOsiOn--Six Fer
sons Killed and Six wounded.
BALTIMORE April "A terrific boiler
explosion occurred a little after II o'clock
to-day, at the Chesapeake Steam Sugar Re
gnery, owned by Sterling & Thomas, and
lying between and extending from ODon-
nells to Dugan's wharf, below Pratt street.
The boiler room, kiln house and Dugan's
wharf are completely wrecked, and fifteen
feet of the steam bakery of James Porter d
Co., adjoining on the north, from base to
roof was blown into fragments. The loss
Of life has not yet been ascertained.
A colored man named johnson was
killed on Dugans wharf, Immediately In
front of the refinery, and two workmen are
missing, supposed to be buried in the
ruins. Three workmen were badly injured,
and a colored man was blown into the dock
and seriously wounded, but he was rescued
by fireman.
A schooner Damaged.
Several laborers on the schooner Mary
Alice, Of Baltimore, owned in Wycomico
county, were seriously hurt. The schooner
was lying abreast the refinery or sugar
wharf. All her upper rigging, on both
masts, her blocks, ETC., were carried away
by the explosion. Her sails were set on
fire and her boat stove. Her deck was
covered several feet with the debris from
the ruins, and timber eighteen feet long
and six by four inches was driven through
her deck and left standing upright.
Cause of Explosion
There were four new boilers of 60 horse
power each in the boiler room, and it is
supposed two of them exploded. They
were put up about five weeks ago; one
boiler was driven upward partly through
the second wall, and the other boilers were
completely covered in the ruins. Windows
and sash of the buildings were found
distance of several hundred feet from the
explosion, shattered.
The police and fire department are clear
ing away the wreck The principal loss
is the damage to the building and lost en-
gines A fire broke out about an hour af-
ter the explosion, but was soon extin-
guished. At the time of the explosion the
engineer was in another part of the build
ing, and left the engine in charge of a
fireman.
Bodies Recovered.
The bodies OF VIM. Duncan and A. Pin
die were taken from the ruins of the boiler
room The bodies of Joseph Mckinney
and fireman Coons and son has not yet
been recovered. The space in which they
have TO work is very narrow and filed with
the ruins, so that not over twenty men can
work at time, the ruins being put in
scows 1t is believed the killed will not
exceed six and wounded six. Large crowds
are gathered tonight.

THE New York AdUerttSer estimates
that the colored men will throw about
5, 200 votes in New Jersey, and that this
W / be sufficient in all general elections
TO give the State to the Republicans. The
Seymour electors had 2, 853 majority, and
CIV. Randolph, in 1868, had 1857 ma
iority. The Advertiser is also of the
opinion that the colored vote will increase
tie Republican majority in the first Con-
g1essional district, and make the second
and fourth securely Republi lean, leaving
the third Democratic, and the fifth fair

Hat Cutting.

last election after the polls were closed.
aud the victors announced elected, certain
old custom OF cutting up the successful
mans hat was revived Elijah Ashton led
the van, and many were the crumpled aud
cut up hats scattered over the Square.
Fortunately, however, the hats were not
very fine, as candidates dc not wear fine
clothes, of which rule the victorious Circuit
Court Clerk furnished striking exception
Besides it was a very bad day, and entirely
unsuitable for fine Uranium covers The
successful municipal candidates took their
revenge in a very quiet manner, last Satslr-
day when the recorder and policemen we're
sworn in. As the new policemen stepped
up to the stand 70 take the oath, the Mayor
and Aldermen took their hats and quietly
CIT them upi One of them smell q
mouse, and kept his hat in his hand
Black stepped up behind him, and sad,
''Jim, allow me to hold your hat, which
was no sooner reinquished, than rip
went the knife in the crown"
