A HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Negro Fiend Outrages the Person
of an EIght-Year Old Child.

On the 25th ult. q negro boy commit
ted the horrible crime of rape upon the
little daughter of Mr.. Thomas Harris, in
Fayette county, about five miles west of
WhiteVille. The little girl, who was
only eight years OF age, was passing by
the negrO's house when she was assault
ed by the rufian and carried by force
into the house, where he violated her
person in a most brutal and cruel man
ner. The father of the unfortunate girl
was absent from home when the outrage
was perpetrated. Upon his arrival, hear
ing of the matter, he attempted to cut
the threat of the vile scOundrel, but was
prevented from doing so by the inter
ference of Others. The negro was ar
rested and lodged in the Jail at Somers
vile. We learn that On attempt has
been made to take him from Jail, and
that apprehensicns Of his being mobbed
are entertained. We are not advocates
of Lynch Law, BOT there are some
crines-this among them - that cries
aloud like Able's blood, for speedy ven
gernce. The william, We learn, is IN
der IA years of age, and, consequently,
is not amenable to the criminal laws,
therefore let justice be done. If the
law Is so defective as not to apply to
suou damnning crimes, and fails TO
punish such base and devilish criminals,
then let the people rise in their might
and yindicate right and redress such
wrongs.
