Unparalleled outrage.

5s Unparalleled Outrage.
4 gentleman from the vicinity Of
Gordon called at this Office yestcr-
day and made tho following startling
disclosures
On Wednesday night, about 2 n.
M, hand Of ten United States SOL
diers, led by some byeyet official, APP
peared at the dwelling of DIR. J. b.
Terrell in quest of the Doctor and
his son. who were from home =
They entered the house and search
ed the premises in the rudest man
ner, violating with their ruffian
presence the sleeping chamber of
Two young ladies, and even tearing
from their persons the bed covering
which protected them. Disappoint
ed at not finding their prey, they
then visited other domicils and ar
rested and bore away with them
Messrs. VIM. fountain, VIM. Calls,
VIM. Bridges, Frank Remington,
Edward Walker, railroad agent, aud
James Fountain. Not content with
thus ouiraging the houses and per-
sons of their victims, these exem
plary representatives of Radical law
proceeded to rifle the pockets of one
of their prisoners, Mr.. WIN. Fmn-
tain, of about fifteen dollars. For
the truth Of this latter characteristic
act our Informant has the authority
of the brother Of Mr.. Fountain,
We are told that the whole de-
meanor of these emissaries of Grant
and his henchmen, Akerman and
Farrow, vas rude, ipso!ent and over
bearing in the extreme - Macon
Telegraph. "a
Can any Southern man, read the
above without feeling an Indignation
bordering on contempt for the
vile tools of Grant. Yet there are
white republicans, with the blood of
the Anglo Saxon race coursins their
veins, who look upon such atrocities
with a smiling complacency of ap-
prevail and would perpetuatc the
rule of the administers ion that en-
forces such law. Yes, there are
mn who would elevate to the Presi
dency Ulysses Grant the man who
furnishes the money and prompts
Farrow 4 Co., to drag innocent cit
liens from their beds at night by
United States soldiers, and invade
the sleeping apartments of our wo-
men and offer them Insult by acts
of cruelty and shameless disregard of
the respect the presence Of ladies
demands. Just think that even the
priv acy and sanctity Of the sleeping
apartments of oar mothers and sis
tcrs are desecrated by the presence
.AG~HFStates' soldiers, who under the
name of law, violate law and trample
upon the reserved rights of home
and its hallowed precincts. Let
this be a sufficient incentive to
arouse our people, our Southern men
who are hating between two opin-
ions, to a sense Of tho Importance of
the election of Greeley and the de-
thronement of the vile despot Grant.
The election of Greeley will put a
stop to such military expressions and
civil law will not be so recklessly
disregarded by the minions of Grant.
And the radical stump speakers, who
do the dirty work of Grant, who
SANDER their own race, and who seek
to prejudice the minds of the coIored
people against those whs give them
employment and with whom they
live, will no longer fatten on the
ruin of the Southern people.
Come out next Tuesday, voters Of
Cobb and 7th District, and elect
P. NJ. B. Young to Congress and
Horace Greeley to the Presidency.
Put the seal of your emphatic disap-
probation upon the present eppress-
i've military despotisrn of Grant, who
is numbering the liberties of our
people and who have male our re-
