Information Just received here and an
interview by your correspondent with
several gentlemen of Unquestonable We
racity give particulars OF most brutal
and fiendish outrage which has been
committed near Charlottesville, in the
upper end Of this county. The facts
are that for some time past au old
and respectable colored man by the
name OF Henderson Briggs, who lives near
Charlottesville, has had the enmiiy OF
some OF his cOored Republican brethren
because he has advocated and worked
for the election Of all Democrats. About
midnight some ten nights ago three
negroes entered bis house. and taking
him fIom his bed dragged him down a
rocky bin, cutting and brnising
his body in foarlnl manner,
after which they administered to
him a terrible whipping with sticks
and switches and threatened to take his
life il he did not support tie Republican
party. His wife, with an infant in her
arms, ran 70 her husbands rescue and
implOred the tiends Rot to kill him. aud
promised them n they would do him 10
further injury that she would see that
lie voted the Republican ticket. and that
their visit should never be made known.
Upon TINS assurance the old man
was left in an almost insenslble con-
ditio1. Several days later, however,
Henderson told what had occurred.
and stated that he was more Of a
Democrat then than ever. This remark
reached the ears of the tiends who had
perpetrated the brutal and cowardly act,
and on las. Tuesday night they again
visited Briggs's house, throwing heavy
stones upon the roof and breaking the
window panes. They also attempted 10
break the door in, but fortunately were
frightened of before they succeeded.
