q Negso Outrage Boy
Brutality whipped and PIOba-
bly, Murdered.
We desire to see how many
Radical journals in the South will
mention this. They are greatly
given to the publication Of exag-
Grated statements Of the cruelties
perpetratel By white men upon
negroes, but singularly quiet when
atrocities committed by negroes
come before the public.
An outrage was perpetrated on
the Gholson plantation, some two
miles from Portland, in the lower
part of this county, on Saturday
last, which, if true as reported to
US, calls for the prompt visitation
of the utmost rigor Of the law on
the black tiends who were engaged
in it.
AS reported to us, a young
white boy, about fourteen years
old, who was living at or
near the plantation mentioned,
found a negro boy in pos
session of a pair Of drawers which
had been stolen from the white
boy, and which he became salts
fed had been taken by the negro.
The boy thereupon had an alter
cation with the negro, which re
suited in his giving him q whip.

to the negroes employed on the
plantation, who gathered in force
and took the boy and whipped
him numerically. AT this point
some other negroes arrived, and
not having seen the operation, in
sisted on its being repeated, which
was according done, and the boy
again subjected to q most brutal
whipping. Still another addition
WIS made to the party, and they,
too had to have their sight graft.
fled by seeing the hoy punished;
4 third time he was tied up by
these black flends, and underwent
another cruel iiagcllation. He
was then taken oil by portion d
the party, and since that time has
not been heard of. Whether he
was murdered outright, or left BY
the hrutes in some out of the way
place, to die Of his iniu les, is ;
matter OF conjecture.
The matter was reported L
Sheriff DeCamp, who promptly
proceeded to the scene Of the out
