The object of the postal cards is to facili-

the transmission through the mails, at a
reduced rate of postage, of short communi-
cations, either printed or written In pencil
or ink. They may, therefore, be used for
orders, invitations, notices, receipts, &C.
acknowledgements, and other requirements
of business and social life, and the matter
desired to be conveyed may be either IN
writing or in print, or partially in bosh..
In their treatment as mali matter they are
to be regarded by postmasters the same as
sealed letters, and not as printed matter,
except that in no case will unclaimed
cards be sent to the Dead Letter Office.
An ordinary printed business card may
he sent through the mails when prepaid
nv a one-cent postage stamp attached; but
s,ich card must contain absolutely no writ
ten matter except the address, otherwise it
will be treated as not fully prepaid, and
refused admission into the mails. -
All cards different from those herein de-
scribed, bearing Embossed or printed post
age stamps, and purporting to be United
States postal cards, are counterfeit, ana
the manufacture of such cards, or the at
tempt to use the same, will subject the Of

Terrible Outrage and Msrder in Arkansas.

The Augusta (Arkansas) Bulletin pub
fishes letter from Union county, Arkan-
sas, giving an account of a horrible out
rage upon and murder of a white woman
by negro in that county. "A few weeks
ago married woman went to a neighbor's
house to remain several days, but found no
one at home and started to return, when
the negro stopped her horse and took her
off, and drove, pushed and pulled her eight
miles into the bottom lands, where he tied
her to tree and ravished her, keeping her
there for three days. On the second day,
while still tied to the tree, she gave Dlrth
to child. WIS. E.G.
On the third day the husband of the un-
fortunate woman, not finding her at the
neighbours, but discovering her horse
where the negro had left it tied, collected
some friends and began search, which
resulted in finding her dead body tied to
the tree, the negro having murdered her
with blows upon the head, inflicted with a
club. The murderer was soon afterwards
captured by party of negroes, who were
assisting in the search. At the husband
request, the negroes built two log heaps,
and, setting them on fire, placed the negro
between them: They were twenty
hours burning him, and at intervals SUBJ
jecting him to horrible torture, such as
cutting off his toes and strips of his body:
There were three other negroes concerned
in ravishing the woman. They were sub
sequently caught and shot.

Ii seems to be generally expected that
Tennessee will make most creditable dis
play at Viena. If we fail to come up to the
standard, the disappointment will do us
no good. This should prove an incentive
to action. A late number of the Iron
World and Manufacturer, Pittsburge,
says:
1t is said that Tennessee will occupy
more space in the Viena Exposition than
any other State, having been granted 100
feet of ground at the entrance of the
American wing, with a marquee tent. We
hope the mineral productions OF tennessee
will have a good showing at the EXPOSE
ton. Commissioner Wilder has been max
ing strenuous efforts to have that State
properly represented, and we hope he may
be successful. He asks the Boards OF Trade
at Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga and
Knoxville, to raise $500 each for expenses
of shipment, &c.

Some of the Presidents organs are en-
deavoring to pervert and misrepresent the
collision at Colfax, in Grant parish, La,
by pretending that the whites were ste.; tne
that the only persons hurt were the blacks.
The facts that the blacks had violently
seized on the court house at Colfax and
driven the white citizens from the country
are carefully suppressed.
On the day previous the same eorrespon-
dent said that about one hundred negroes
had been killed and one white man while
two white men had been very severely
wounded. If he perverted and misrepre-
sented the facts, an explanation is in order
