that Is an omission on tLe right slide. He
slludes to the relaxation Of executive con-

true that fof some time past the Presl-

fair and generous 10 the Sonth, aud indeed In
that regard be has always been In advance OF

him to say that no Southern State is now iu-

will be. II It were organized like the
professions Of the law aud Of medicine,

ato mnxims, aspirations, desires and
antipathies, II might greatly increase it's
purity, dignity and influence. Brains
and culture andthe power Of expression
would preserve their rights in the new
profession against the overbearing ways
Of capital, as successfully as cores.

Assault with Intent TO Rape.

Jas. Woods and Eli Dusett were
arrested last Friday on charge of
assault with intent to commit rape
on Mrs. Solomon Lavuture, whose
husband was at work in the woods,
and who resides on Fletcher street,
and another lady stopping with
Mrs. l..
1t appears from what we can
learn that Woods and Dusett went
to the house of the lady above
named, on Sunday night, the I'd,
about IL o'clock, and raped at the
door. The lady asked who was
there, and was answered that it was
Woods, who wanted to know il her
husband was at home. Upon be-
ing answered in the negative, adj
mission was demanded, which she
refused, saying that it was not q
seasonable hour to admit of her
complying with such request
Seeing that they could not gain a
peaceable entrance to the house,
the men burst in the door, and then
approaching the bed made their
hellish purpose known. Mrs. La
vuture made her escape and went
TO neighbours for assistance, but
the man was afraid to go with her,
and said that he thought he saw
two men leave the house. She then
went back, and was seized by
Woods as she opened the door
They tussled about the room for
some time, and at length she secur-
ed a Ratchet with which to defend
herself. Meantime Dusett was
scuffling with the other lady,
Woods told Mrs. L. that he would
cut her throat if she attempted to
use the Ratchet, and drew his knife.
Another scufflc ensued, in which
Woods cut his finger. Both wom-
en- resisted the fiends, and they
stayed in the house till near morn
ing when they left, and the women
sought legal advis, as to what
course they should take to bring
the offenders to justice. Mr.. La
vuture returned to town few days
later, and after receiving proper
advise, caused the arrest of both
the men, who are under $500 bail
each to appear for examination to-
day at 10 o'clock, when the whole
affair will be ventilated. The above
we give just as we learned it, but
vouch not for its truthfulness, as
there are many rumors afloat con-
corning the matter.
