REVOLVING OUTRAGE.-Two weeks since we
published a telegraphic dispatch stating that
daughter of Rev. E. M. Walters of Rockford,
Ill, aged IL years, had been shockly soutrag
ed by negro. 1t now appear s rhat the little
girl was daughter of Rev. j. E. Walton, rec
tor of the Emanuel Episcopal church of Rock
ford, and pastor formerly pastor of the Third
Parish church of this city. Her mother at the
time, was lying at the point of death, from
cancer, and has since died. Mr.. Walton was
in Washington. The daughter was sent on an
errand for her mother to the house of a Mrs.
Potter living in the vicinity of the cemetery in
East Rockford. The child, not knowing the
exact location of the house, inquired Of thetne-
gro (CampbelD where the house was, and he
offered to accompany her there, instead of doing
which, as her story runs, he took her to the
cemetery, and afterwards to a skiff in the riv-
er, with which he conveyed her to point near
ly opposite from where they started, known as
the old camp ground it being the place where
some regiment of troops were encamped dur
ing the war. Having intimidated the child he
ravished her person, and afterward took her
back to near the Potter house and left her.
The child told her story to Mrs. Potter, who at
once informed some friends who had the negro
arrested and lodged in county Jail on the west
side of the river.
So great was the excitement, caused by the
outrage, among the citizens, that they collect
ed in mob and visited the Jail with the in
tention oflynching the negro, But the sheriff
with his deputies persuaded the men to depart.
A second attempt was made by force of from
one thousand to fifteen hundred persons, to
force the Jail with battering rams, but the
Sheriff had made his preparations, and his
posse being well armed the rioters were resist
| ed, and they withdrew. Campbell will have a
fair trial. He denies committing any outrage
| upon the girl.

the Bank Commissioner shows the amount of
the Cashiers deialcetion to be S36 Ono and that
he has kept two distinct sets of books nearly

Report from th e Signal Office.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug 2S-1 a. m.-The
area of the low barometer which was on Sat.
urday on the lower lakes after being increased
to a storm in eastern Tennessee, has moved
eastward and is now on the New England coast
The cyclone which had passed northwards
through Georgia, gradually spread out and dis
appeared as such. Brisk south and southwes
terly winds continued until Saturday evening
from Virginia to Massachusetts,, but have very
much diminished. Very heavy rains have fall,
en- from central Lake Erie to Vermont, and
lighter rains at most points on the middle and
eastern coast. The area of cloud and rain has
extended over Nebraska and Missouri, and the
barometer is falling with easterly winds, on
Lake Superior. -
Probabilites-Rain in New England will
probably clear away tonight and northwestern
ly winds prevail on Monday from Mary land
north and eastward. Light southerly winds
with partially cloudy and warm weather are
probable for the Southern and Gulf 3 ates.
Clear and hazy weather for the lower lares.
Threatening weather with local rains from
Lake Huron to Illinois and westward.

Asiatic Cholera.

PORTLAND Aug 26th, 1871.
To the Editor ofthe Press:
SIR.-Permit me, through your paper, to re-
mind my fellow. citizens of one or two facts as
to the character and cure of this malignant dis
ease. In letter from the Rev. DR.. Hamlin, OF
Constantinople, some years ago, to Mr.. Lord
of the Christian Mirror, the doctor distinctly
stated his conviction that the disease is not con-
tdgiouS, and that by the timely use of suitable
remedies, all fatal consequences from it might
be successfully prevented. In the said letter
these remedies, which are of the simplest char
acter, are specified, and the method and order
of their use very clearly described. The letter
was published in the Mirror, and subsequently
by the editor of that paper, in a small pamphlet
form. The city government afterwards threw
off very large edition and distributed it gra-
tuitously among the citizens; and one at least
of our druggists printed still another edition
putting copy of it, with the medicine pre-
pared, according to the recipes of DR.. HI.
DIR. Hamlin has had most favorable opportu
mites of observation and large experience in
the use of the remedies referred to. They are
very cheap, easily procured, and should be kept
in every family. Said letter is easily obtaina
BILE, and its republication at this time would bt
opportune and advantageous.
Yours respectfully, j. j. CARRUTHERs.

tured recently in Vallejo, Cal, recently on the
cruise of the Kearsarge. He said that three
different times during the fight with the Ala
bama Semmes lowered his flag in token of sur
render, and then took advantage of the cessa-
ton of firing on the part of the Kearsarge to
pour in a fresh broadside; that after the third
display of treachery, and not till then, Captain
Winslow ordered his men not to cease their
fire until they saw some convincing evidence
of the enemy's surrender He also said that
after the Alabama had gone down, and the sea
was covered with living bodies, struggling for
life, several of the Confederate officers, who
had surrendered, themselves on board the
Kearsarge, requested leave to assist in saving
their men. The permission was granted, but
when once in their boats, they rowed as fast as
possible to the English yacht Deerhound, leav-
ing their drowning comrades to their fate.

THE KENNEBEC MoNsTER.-A correspond
ent of the Somerset Reporter, writing from
Cornville, puts the following hard case for the
''grasshopper:"
"You can if you like put in the following
hard case, as it may perhaps be some consOla-
tion to the man who lost his onions by grass
hoppers to know that he is not alone in his af-
flictODs.
A poor man in this vicinity had, in his gar
den, not only the usual quantity of tomatoes,
cucumbers, and string beans, &C., but, being
poor and great lover of the weed planted, as
usual, small patch of tobacco. Well the
wretches took first one thing and then another
winding up (of course) with a stiff chew of to-
baccO. But what was worse than all the rest
(he says), when he caught some Of the scamps,
and upbraided them for their ungentlemanly
conduct, they added insult to injury, by spit
ting tobacco juice all over his hands,"
THE Sandusky Register expresses the opin-
ion that Ewing undoubtedly expressed the sem
timents the Ohio Democracy and the large ma
iority of all Western Democrats, when he de-
nounced the payment Of the interest on the
national debt in gold, and spoke in opposition
to the national banks. But the Register also
says that the people of Ohio have already pass.
ed judgment upon the most contemplate of the
Ohio Democracy, and that there is even less
| likelihood of a Democratic victory on such a
platform now than there was two years ago
when Pendleton, the father of the folly, was q
| candidate for Governor.
