Shocking Outrages.-On last
Thursday night, 14th, three negroes
went to the house of n respectable lady
of Jackson county, and demanded ad*
mission. Suspecting at once their ob
ject, she sent her daughter through the
hack door to her grand mother, and raised
the alarm. A negro saw and pursued
her. knocking Iter down and attempting
to outrage Iter, but failed in his fiendish
purpose. Meantime a tenant on the place
ll'-iinl tlu* noise, and went to their assist
ance. The negroes fled, and one who
was believed to be in the party, was ar
rested, but proved an alibi by a white per
son. and was released. It is likely the
monsters may yet be arrested.
The citizen of Jackson who gave us the
above, states that about two weeks ago
two negroes committed rape on a young
Indy in that county.

We are tempted to Illustrate the vigL

an incident which occurred during oar
stay. One of the legal functionaries un
wittingly violated a town ordinance, and
the Marshal delicately reminded him of
the offence, and permitted him to pay
the fine without a formal arrest. The joke
was so good that the victim told it on
himself, and nobody relished it more tbrfh
Col. Nash, who was reminded of a cir
cumstance in which h« was an actor
when the town was first laid out. He
was telling some of his good jokes and
laughing, as is his lisbit, “from the
ground up,” when he was notified that
such boisterous conduct was against the
“canons of the town.” “Canonsof—”
replied Nash, “I didn’t suppose there
w:ts anything bigger than a picket pis
tol in the place.” The Marshal, not ap
preciating the point of Nash’s wit, told
him that he would have to arrest him if
he was not more quiet. “ Arrest me!”
said Nash, “for talking above a whisper,

General
North-Eastern Railroad.—At
the regular meeting of the Directors
on yesterday, it was resolved to
proceed at once to the permanent loca

to advance the expenses of location.—
It is considered that this settles the
construction of the road, and the com
pany will be ready in a short time to

Mr. Hodges, on taking the chair,
made a few appropriate remarks, show

and exchanging ideas on the different

thereby promoting the interests of all,

The books were opened for the pur

fifty members.
On motion, the Chair appointed a
committee for the purpose of drafting
a constitution and by-laws, which.com-

local interests of the county, the first

most delicate -question has taken
place by the permission ofthe Pope
nnd under his auspice.!, between
learned Catholics and Protestants.
Some very active members, of the
Protestant hurch have for twelve
months been assailing many of the
theories of the Catholic Church,- and
especially that which relates to ihe.
primacy of St-Peter. They asserted
that as a historical fact St Peter
never put foot in Rome. These
statements were repeated to the
Pope,- who, in conversation, under
took their refutation. But fata own
friends were riot content with that
limitedtofutation, and they prevail*
ed on tbs Holy Father to authorize
a public discussion ofthesubjeet by
champions, chosen by the respect*

being arranged, a meeting waa held

merits. We teel confident that if it waa

committee appointed by the Bishop,
as to whether the circumstances war
ranted any further action.
The debate tured upon the question
as to which of these methods accorded
with the mode of procedure laid down
it the Discipline, and touched not the
merits of the case. The vote in favor
of Mr. Wilson’s motion had no sig
nificance whatever, except that, in the
judgment of the Conference, the mode
of procedure prepared hy him was in
accordance with the Methodist usage.
The committee met on Friday after
noon, but it L ne t known what witnes

The statement telegraphed from
here by the Associated Press that one
