A most exciting race occurred fr >m the court-house out toward the forest in the east rn part ot town last Tuesday afternoon. The occasion that gave rise to all the excitement, which was witnessed by nearly everyUidy in town was; as follows: A man by tin' name of Charles Ogletroe, with his wife and invalid mother, w s passing through town, moving to * Mr, Hulseys somewlv re above town to live. Last TlmiHday a little boy hailing from Atlanta, by the name ot Charley Tilton, about 10 years of ng», a news boy, the son of a widow Tilton, called at the house of the Ogle trees, about six iniics south of Dallas, on tl>e widow Lester's place, near Pop lar Springs Church, aud anted to stay with them, saying that he was an orphan boy, and that lie lived with his aunt in Atlauta,and that sho abused him r.o unmercr fully lie coui I not stay auy lon ger, lieuce be fl- d and made his way this far from home. They consented for him to remain wb.re ho seemed to be contented until Tuesday morning, when, u the family were m 'king prepara tious to have the Lester place, as above stated, the little fello stepped out and disappeared, and the family had no knowledge of what direction he lmd taken until as they were travelling along qui etly near New Coanan church, the son and husband, Cbas. Ogle- tree, was arrested by Bailiff Sum- merbill upon a warrant sworn out by the boy, ch rging him with kidnapping the boy from Atlanta, and forcibly detaining him. While the ma'ter was undergoing inves tigation at the court-house the pool fellow Ggletree was almost scared out <>f his wits, and some one dropped the hint that it would be a safe plan to take leg bail,aud he did not take time to weigh the matt, r long ere he lit out, and he did not stand on the order .of his lighting, for like a brisk wind lie swept the fields, followed by his faithful bailiff aud one or tw:> others, but soon he distanced all followers aud gaining the wood land about a naif mile away to the east he was quickly absorbed in the dark impenetrable wilder ness and no doubt made good his escape. The boy, Charley Tilton, gives another \irsion to the affair, aud tnere.

He says he was hired to li n, whieh speak* wei 1 f r ihe a..- assist in driving a cow out from g oee of TauMin^ County. beyond West End Atlanta, and lured on until out in the country, and the men Ogletree compelled him to accompany him home to this county under threat of killing Kim, and that he escaped Tut a* day morning, the first opportuni ty presoutiug itself The Atlanta papers of last Thursday or Friday con tuned an account of tha unaccountable dis appearance of a small boy answer- iug this little fellows description, and now that he has been secured and sent book 11 Atlanta, and home, we trust that the broken hearted mother has ere this been made to rejoice over the return of her lost boy. But now to the poor afflicted mother an>l the heartbroken wife of Ogletree. At this writing he is still gone, and they are hero upon the cold char ity of a diftin eres ed people. Something must be done, there is but one answer, should Ogletiee keep going uuder his present p m- ic, then we have an alms-house, the “dernier resort" iu all snob oases, and for which it was partly establshed.

He then perused the trunks, beds, ami house generally, we suppose for tnouny, but finding nothing that lie d< sired to take,opened the door and weut quietly away, W* know not where.
