Last evening, about o'clock, as two young
white girls were walking along the south side Of
Pennsylvania avenue east, between Second and
Third streets, one Of them was set upon by Sarah
Jane jackson, eolored, who beat her on the right
side of the face and wrencned a gold earring
from her ear. The girl could assign no cause for
the assault. Two gentlemen who witnessed the
encounter detained the jackson girl until the
arrival Of Sergeant Pierce, Of the Eighth pre-
cinct, who conveyed her to the station-house,
where a formal complaint Of assault and battery
was entered against her. Sarah is one Of those
free and easy girls who roam about the streets at
night, swinging their arms In all directions, and
ever ready for q row with one Of their own color,
or young white girls whom they may chance to
meet. When arrested she had on a slab bonnet
and calico dress. She states that the row was
caused by the white girl telling her to shoot that
bonnet, stab that dress and sell EN- for half
dollar" but this story is eontradcted by those
who were present when the assault was made.
Sarah will have the honor OF an introduction to

All during yesterday and last night the excite
ment at OdentOn over the recent outrage on Miss
Adelaide Jackson was unabated The Baltimore
GG=stie, Of yesterday, has the following Addl-
tiOnal particulars:
The guard aud prisoner proceeded to Odenton'
arriving there about o'clock, Just as the morn
ing train had passed by for Annapolis. Upon the
train were his ExCellency Governor James BLACK
GroOne, Hon. Barnes Compton, State treasurer;
Hon. a. P. GrOOme, John p. Poe, esq, Benjamin
FaWcett, esq, and other prominent gentlemen.
The train had gotten about one hundred yards
from the station when Hon. Barnes Compton, see
ing the men aud their prisoner, announced to Gov
ernor Groome, in emphatic language, They had
the brute now"
The Governor, promptly percelying that there
would be an immediate case Of lynching II the
man was left at Odenton, rushed forward and or
dered the brakeman to stop the train. The orake'
man said he did not ike to do it without the con-
sent OF Captain Brown, the conductor. The Gov
ernor told him to 90 forward and see the conduc-
tor, the Governor following. when both came up
to Captain Brown and made the request to stop
the train he demurred, but
GOVERNOR eRooNE
insisted that there would be a mob If the man was
not taken upon the train, and he (tho Governor)
would stand between the conducto: and the com
pany. and as Executive Of the State Of Maryland
ordered the train back to Odenton station. Gap
tain Brown replied that if Governor GrOome took
that stand he would obey. The train backed up,
but the excited men at the station attacked the
guards of the negro, ana attempted to take him
from them, notwithstanding the orders of the
Governor. The conductor and train hands, how
ever, managed to
DRAG THE NEGRO UPON THE TRAIN,
and placed him in charge of Messrs. Thomas NJ.
Cole and ]. Columbus Gaylor. A short distance
from the crowd at Odenton was another much
larger body of men, and the negro's fate would
have been sealed had the train not gotten of as
soon as it did. The parties who attempted to
lynch the negro are said to have been Messrs
William Turner, Charles Turner, Charles Dur
ham, William Turner, jr, William Pumphrey,
John Pumpbrey, Isaiah Pumphrey, Meyer Dy-
SEN Robert Dysen, William Dysen and others
INDIGNATION MEETING.
After the departure Of the train an Indignation
meeting was held at the village store, with Mr.
Frank p. Baldwin, the village schoolmaster, as
spokesman. 1t was resolved to move on Annap-
oils and Iynch the negro at all hazards, q num-
Der of vehicles, mostly strawberry wagons, being

Church.
The ladies' meeting, under the auspices OF the
National Camp. Meeting Association, was held in
the lecturc-room Of the Metropolitan church yes
terday morning, and was very largely attended,
two thirds Of the chairs being occupied. Such
was the interest at the time that the exercises
were prolonged for nearly two hours. There were
also some twenty-five ministers present OF the
various denominations of this city at their first
meet IL, Tuesday, and the Influence Of the Holy
Spirit was greatly fe!t by those assembled. A
voluntary hymn, There is q fountain filled with
blood" &c, was sung by the congregation, and
an earnest, feryent prayer was offered by Rev.
Mr.. Searles. Rev. J P. Newman then announced
the sO4th hymn, Lord, am thine, entirely
trine," which was sung with more than ordinary
spirit; after which Rev. VIM. Mcdonald deliV-
cred profitable End interesting discourse from
Matthew, VAS: "Ee We perfect, even as your
Father in heaven is perfect"
The speaker began by saying that perfection
consists in having everything removed from the
heart opposed to the will Of God That soul is in the
highest perfection that can say, under all as we'll
as under the most adverse circumstances, THY
will be done" All things are removed from the
heart opposed to grace in perfect heart. How is
perfection secured? It is not secured by growth.
Many persons believe in being justified instants-
neously, but in being sanetifed they cannot IN
derstand how il can be obtained in any other way
than by gradual method. Many are longing to be
wholly the Lords, but they hnd so much in them
in opposition to the truth that they unwilling
TO make the effort. But, my brother, you cannot
realize this grace of perfection by development,
for it can only be obtained by cleansing the blood
Growing in grace is not growing into grace, and
no man can grow inte grace any more than he can
swim into water, for there is no swimming only in
the water. So there is no growing in grace until
we are in grace.
The Rev. John Inskip made some very pointed re-
marks as to the need Ofimproving the present op.
portunity and not allow the sermon to be lost on
rs. He evidently attempted to flank the prejudices
ofsome who were present, and thus induce them to
forego their opposition and allow the spirit to
work freely and fully in their hearts. After an
invitation given, many came to the altar desiring
forgiveness and perfection. A season Of prayer
followed, in Whichthe spirit was smightiypreseut
and all felt it good to be there. The church was
filled with auditors, and the utmost attention to
all lthe services was prevalent, q deep and pro-
found seriousness being dominant.
