Outrages in South Carolina.

A series OF enormous outrages were recent
iy perpetrated on some Of the respectable cit
liens of Union, s. g., by persons belonging
to the army. A number Of business men
were placed in durance vile on the charge of
being Ku-Klux. After locking them up,
some drunken United States officers and SOL
diers proceeded to the houses Of their prison
ers, and, under the plea Of searching for the
identical men who were already incarcerated,
they entered the rooms Of the ladies, making
sad havoc among fine dresses and toilet arti-
cles. The most indecent language was used
toward the females, both by officers and SOL
diers, and large amount of property was
stolen. On the morning following, the COM
mandant of the post dismissed the prisoners,
as no charges could be brought against them.
After their release, the authorities stated that
it was ''only drunken spree" and notice
was sent to the publisher eff the Union Times
that, if he dared to publish anything in re-
gard to the affair, they would fire the town
and swing him to post The Town Council
have taken the matter in hand and the evi,
dence. duly sworn to, has been printed in
pamphlet form and forwarded to Attorney

ANOTHER RAILROAD SCHEME.

Z Our wide-awake friend of the Page Courier
after specializing pretty freely about various
Railroad schemes, and broadly intimating
that the present stir in referenceto the Shen-
andoah Valley Railroad, is merely Blind to
cover up some undcveloped design Of the
Pennsylvania Central on the Legislature Of
Virginia this winter, says of another scheme,
in which the people Of Augusta are deeply
Interested
We hear, also, another rumor. and that is,
the Chesapeake and Ohio road are casting
their eyes along "the long meadows of Au-
gusta, down through the beautiful valley Of
East Rockingham, and through the Hawks
vile Valley Of Page to this place, and with a
view to the passage of Beahm's gap, or some
other one equally eligible in the blue
ridge, and forming connection with the pro-
posed Piedmont and Potomac road. from
Georgetown, in the District of Columbia,
hence through the rich and fertt::ie counties Of
Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahan-
mock, to Luray, in Page county, charles for
which was granted by the last legislature.
We have great confidence in the Chesa-
peake and OHIO company, and are fully of the
belief that its enlightened President and Di-
rectory, are looking with anxious interest and
examination to this route. We hope so, as
its interests are so thoroughly identified with
Virginia.
The recent vote, almost unanimously CIV
en-, in the District of Columbia, sanctioning
the subscription of that territory of $500 00o
to the Piedmont and Potomac Railroad, from
Georgetown to Luray, favors the idea Of some
such movement as is above, indicated

James Madison. Rallying around these, we
may, in the course Of political events, restore
the just relation Of State governments and

that il was the qucerest case on record
