The following account from the Raleigh
SentineFs extract of the impeachment pro-
ceedings of the Senate on Monday, will af-
ford some idea of the atrocities committed
by that bad man Holden on the people of
North Carolina:
William Patton testified to having been
hung up by the neck. A pistol was put to
his head and threats made to shoot him if he
did not tell who killed Outlaw. He was
brought to Raleigh, and made confession
that he might be relieved.
George Rogers, young man, was next
called. He testified that he was hung up
three several times by the neck.
j. ID. Albright, young man of twenty
two, was next examined. He was arrested,
his hands tied behind him, and he marched
off to camp.
The story of these young men, as they
told it. sent a thrill of horror throughout
the Senate chamber.
Such barbarity and cruelty was never
known before on this continent. All the
witnesses testified that Bergen said he was
acting under the orders of Gov. Holden.
While these crimes against God, humani-
ty, and the law were being perpetrated,
Holden declared Judge Pearson was sustain
ing him. He now justities his brutality by
the opinion of the Judge. When these
young men were hung, Judge Pearson, in
the presence of many persons, was heard to
say, That is the way; a little hanging will
soon disclose who hung Outlaw
In regard to the existence of secret socie-
ties, called KuKlux, etc. all of these wit
nesses distinctly swore that the organiza-
tons were more strictly of the character
known as Vigilance Committees, establish
ed to suppress crimes the courts failed to
punish, and of no Political significance
whatever.

very had been abolished and secession pro-
nounced null and void in every Southern

established and recognized in every county,

Robert T. Lee and bis people, were to the
| day OF his death branded a. rebels and pro-
scribed as traitors TO America By far the
greatest military genius on the American
Continent, his love for his country obliged
him to withdraw from the American Army
and throw himself in the breach of its coll
losal invasion. One of the most superb
gentlemen In America. he was prescribed
society, and compelled to earn his living in
the seclusion of Southern College. Pos
sessed of the highest order of craftsmanship
known 20 America he was deprived of the
ordinary rights of American citizenship.
and thus closed his eyes in death on Ameri-
ca. Purity of hears. fervour of religion,
might of intellect and splendor of genius,
were rendered hateful in the sight of those
who arrogate to themselves exclusively the
title of the American people. by the simple
sin of love for the South, the land of his
birth.
He has already taken his place in history.
Not as an American, but as a Southern pa
triot and martyr of whom America was

Secession from crown to sole, he had no as
piration in common with America as Amer
lea now is, or sympathy with her works as
they now are. And from tue day on which
his venerable State seeded from the Amer
lean Union, there was not an hour when he
would not have gladly offered up life and
all life holds dear OH the altar of Southern
rights against American oppression.
1t has also been said that General Lee
belongs to civilization Aye! he belongs
to civilization. But let it not be forgotten
for such will be the record of impartial his
tory, that it was the Southern type of civili-
cation which produced him! And now that
a sublime self-immolation has fixed him on
the top-most pinacle of fame, let his i'm
mortal image look down forever upon the
ages, the perfect representative of the
mighty struggle, the glorious purpose. and
the long sustained moral principle of the
heroic race from which he sprung.

itually with woman superior to others who

Solely because they are in the habit of
free, graceful, continued conversation
with the other sex. Women in this way
lose their frivolity, their faculties
awaken, their delicacies and peculiarities
unfold all their beauty and captivation in
the spirit of intellectual rivalry. And
the men lose their pedantic, rude, declam-
atory, or sullen manner. The coin of
the understanding and the heart changes
continually. Their asperities are rubbed
off, their materials polished and
frightened, and their richness, like the
gold, is wrought in finer workmanship by
the fingers of woman than it ever could
be by those of men. The iron and steel
of their characters are hidden, like the
character and armor of a giant, by studs
and knots of good and precious stones.

From the Washington Republican
The fashionables among our colored pop
ulation are on the Qfi rire as to the report in
circulation concerning the intention of a
young colored physician. who is one of the
professors attached to the Howard Univer-
sity. leading soon to the matrimonial altar a
lady his senior in years, but of undulterat-
ed white complexion, who was formerly
connected with charitable institution in
this city, but who is at present teaching
school in Virginia.
The fact, it Is said, does not surprise those
who are acquainted with the Professor, as
he is charged with eating arsenic and in
dulging pretty freely in cosmetics TO destroy
the indelible marks of Ham. But those ac-
quainted with the lady, who, they say, is
endowed with superior qualifications and
possesses an unblemished reputation, are at
a loss to account for her being willing not
only to braye public sentiment, but consent
to occupy position in society which would
be the medium between the two elements as
all the evidence yet produced, where per-
sons of the white and black races have unit
ed together in the holy bonds of matrimony,
prove that either one or the other.and some
times both, are compelled to occupy mega
tive position.
