Blore Negro Outragea on thc Ogcecuc.
On tho 23d instant, warrants wero issued
. by Justito P. M. Russell, Jr., for tho arrest
of some sixteen negroes, who -wero charged
with coming from Haywood's and tho Now
Hope plantation, on the Ogeecho, on tho
21st instant, in company with a largo body
of armed negroes, and firing upon tho
watchmen at tho Southfield and Prairie plan?
tations, driving them away, and then steal?
ing a large quantity of rico.
These warrants wero placed in tho hands
of James Dooner, Sheriff of Chatham Coun?
ty, and yesterday morning he, with Deputy
Sheriff Mendel, officer Kaufman, J. M.
Middleton and John F. Tucker, left this
city, and proceeded by railroad to tho Hay?
wood plantation, where they found and
arrested five" of tho negroes named in thc
warrants. They then proceeded to the
New Hope plantation, whoro they arrested
a negro named Samuel Farley, who is thc
captain of the armed gang of negroes whe
robbed the Southfield and Prairie planta
tiona. They then proceeded with theil
prisoners to station No. 1 on the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad. On the way the negrc
captain told them he would givo them ;
good rally when they got to thc station
When the reached the station, which i
about seven miles from New Hope, two o
three hundred armed negroes mado thei
appearance and fired upon them withou
effect. They then reloaded their guns. Th
Bheriff and his party, with their prisoners
then walked up to the house of Mr. Millet
about 100 yards from the station, when th
negroes followed at adouble-qnick stop, an
surrounded them. Sheriff Dooner the
spoke to them and told them who ho wa.'
and showed them that he was there in hi
official capacity, armed with writs issued b
competent authority for the arrest of the pr
sonars io his custody. They cursed him au
called him all sorts of vile and opprobrion
names, and told him they did not caro
d-n for the sheriff or any other offiooi
that they had their own laws, and the
would not be interfered with. At tho wor
of command, some ten or twelve cooke
muskets were pointed at tho sheriff, and 1
was ordered to give them up his arras, c
penalty of instant death. Of course he gai
up his arms, when they proceeded to rc
him of his writs and his money. They thc
proceeded to disarm officers Mondol ut
Kaufman and to rob them of their money
Messrs. Middleton and Tucker were u
present, having returned to their plant
tions after the arrest of tho negro captai
After the negroes had disarmed and robbi
the sheriff and his officers, and rescued t l
prisoners, they ordered them to march t
the railroad towards tho city, and would n
permit them to wait for tho arrival of t
train. They walked as far as Tost No.
where they wore overtaken by a frei g
train, which brought them to tho city.
Officer Kaufman informs us that he lieu
from persons on the train that tho negrc
had takcu Messrs. Tucker and Middietc
but he could get uo definite information
to what disposition they had mado of tho
Such are briefly the facts of this ncc
outrage, aud uow it remains to bo sc
whether the authorities aro competent a
willing to execute tho law and protect t
peaoo of sooiety.
{Savannah Republican, QQth
The Savannah Republican of Thursdi
contains the following additional pa
culars:
The report that Messrs. Tucker and M
dicton had been arrested by tho negrc
prnyed to be without any foundation
fact. These gentlemen, who lind separa
from Sheriff Dooner at tho house of ul
dleton, about two and a half miles fr
Station 1, on the Atlantic and Gulf R
road, whero tho prisoners wero rescued t
the sheriff and his officers robbed, succcei
in making their escape and arrived in
city yesterday morning.
It appears that after the negroes had .
cued tho prisoners and robbed the she
and his officers, about fifty of them wen
the Southfield plantation, aud after beat
and driving away R. Baxley, an overs
Richard C. Winn, a carpenter, and Jai
O'Donald, a watchman, and driving
women and child cen into a uegro hut, t
proceeded to-rob tho houses of every tl
they could conveniently carry, and to 1
away a largo quantity of rice.
After dark Messrs. Winn and Baxley ni
their way through the woods in the di
tion of the city. They found tho road f
the Southfield pl ".Million to the raili
I strongly picketed, and could plainly bear
Lia o rr'Ox? p?oa<j?I along Lu? Hue nt riliort in?
tervals. They walked in the woods during
the whole night, fearing to travel on the
road, and arrived in the city yesterday
morning. Late in tho afternoon John
O'Donald, who was supposed to have been
killed, arrived in tho city, and reported that
he bad left tho plantation at 10 o'clock in
the morning, und nt that timo all was quiet.
Mr. O'Donald was struck over the bead
with tho butt of u gun, and kicked, beaten
and very roughly bandied, but not danger?
ously wounded. After be was knocked
down and beaten, bo managed to make bis
way to tho house of a colored man, named
Adam "Williams, where bo remained until
morning when ho found that the robbers
bad all disappeared.
Tho ladies and children arrived iu tho
city by tho evening train, nnd aro now in
comfortable quarters. We understand that
prior to tho last visit of the robbers, there
was about 5,000 bushels of threshed and
some 2,000 bushels of uuthreshed rico on
tho plantation, which was probably stolen
and carried away last night, and the build?
ings burned, in accordance with the threats
made by thc robbers.
Wo aro told that this armed aud organized
baud of robbers reside on tho New
Hope, Haywood, Bennett, Miller, King's
Hill and Wild Horn plantations, which they
havo rented, and for which they havo agreed
to give one-third of thc crop, they bearing
tho cntiro expenso of tilliug the soil.
Tho proprietors of this plantation pay all
their laborers in full every Saturday, and we
make tho statement upon reliable authority
that they do not owo a dollar to any negro
for labor douc. This disposes of the state?
ment in some of the Northern prints, that
tho negroes did not steal tho rico iu ques?
tion, but only carried away their share of,
tho crop, which tho proprietors had refused
to crive thom, in accordance with their own
contracts.
Tho ladies who arrived from the plantation
last night report that thero was a rumor at
Station No. 1 that, a largo body of negroes
intended to take possession of thc station
last night.
CAT.EU Cusiirxo's WHEREABOUTS.-We
have seen a private note from Panama,
written on tho 12th of the lari past mouth,
in which it is mentioned that Mr. Caleb
Gushing bad arrived at Aspinwall, and had
left for Carthagena on thc 10th, in a war
steamer, the Yantic. It is added that Mr.
Cashing was on his way to Uogota, where
ho expected to arrive about the end of De
comber. He expected to spend ten or fifteen
days there, and get back to Washington
?arly in February, before Congress expires.
It is reported to us that Mr. Gashing has
been sent to Dogotu, with full powers from
our Govcrnmont to close a contract for a
canal across the Isthmus, towards which, it
is said, our Government is ready to promise
a guaranty of a million of dollars-proba?
bly a part of thc sum needed to mako a sur?
vey. It is asserted that Gen. Grant bus
boon consulted about tho Panama ship
canal, and that be is warmly iu favor of the
scheme; it is said that ho thiuks its epeedy
construction necessary to preserve our com?
mercial and naval supremacy, and our em?
pire on the Pacific. It is rumored that Mr.
Cushing has boon examining maps, to report
upon the most feasible lino for thc caual,
and that be is convinced that thc canal must
be built nt or very nour the line of the pre?
sent Panama railroad, nud that tho canal
company and the railroad company ought to
be one. - Neio York Pout.
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.-Missouri refused, by
nearly 20,000 majority, to admit to the ex?
ercise of tho franchise and full privileges of
citizenship 22,481 negroes. Michigan re?
fused hy nearly -10,000 to grant stich a
favor to 1,220 negroes. Iowa enfranchised
2111 negroes, ?iud Minnesota her seventy
five. In Missouri, the K2,000 radicals deny
to 76,000 of her citizens tho light of citizen?
ship, while the same men clamor for the
enfranchisement of tho negro in tho South?
ern States, refusing to grant it to their own.
Neither in Michigan nor Missouri could this
have been done but for the opposition of
thc radicals. A writer in tho Bichmond
Dispute?/, who is said to be "ono of the most
distinguished statesmen in tho Valley of
Virginia," after setting forth "the difficul?
ties of our situation; of tho impossibility of
avoiding neerro suffrage, and of the possi?
bility of escaping other and worse evils,"
advises the people of Virginia to agree upon
the platform of "universal amnesty and
universal suffrage," and, framing a Consti?
tution upon this basie, to ask at tho hands
of Congress its substitution for tho "obnox?
ious instrument" proposed hy the lato con?
vention.
A Washington special to the Philadelphia
Ledger says the statement of the public
debt for the month of December will show
an increase of between $2,000,000 and
$3,000,000. It has been published errone?
ously that the debt has boen decreased about
$8,000,000. The internal revenue receipts
have been about tho average at this season,
but the customs receipts have fallen off
slightly. Tho War Department expenses,
owing to the Indian difficulties, have largely
inoroased.

ono of tho Inst three survivors of tho Alamo
massacre, where, it will be remembered,
that Davy Crockett and Colonel Bowie, the
originator of tbe celebrated kuifo of that]
name, fell victims to Mexican treachery,
was ou a visit to Kentucky last week.
The London papers published an account
of the burning of an American emigrant
ship, the Starry Banner, with the loss of 122
persons, including thc captain and tho crew.
A press agent in London telegraphs, how?
ever, that that tho report is a "hoax."
Despatches have been received from Gen?
eral Sheridan to the 7th inst. Ho says the I
hostile Indians-about 100 warriors-have
separated from thc friendly tribes, the latter |
concentrating around Fort Cobb for safety.
General Sherman had given orders to kill or I
capture Santanta nnd Full Bear, two of tho I
most treacherous and dangerous chiefs upon
the plains, as no lasting pesco can bc made
with them.
Tho dress worn b}' tho bride at a recent
wedding in Trinity Chapel, New York, con?
sisted of 11 robo of white velvet trimmed
profusely with point luce of great value
and exquisito pattern. The veil worn was
also of point Ince, and is said to have cost
?5,000 in gold. Tho robe was made accord?
ing to tho present fashion, with a long traiu
and panier.
The authorities in Cuba are making use
of tho negro element in their operations
against tho Republican rebels. A gentle?
man just from Havana saw there two regi?
ments of black volunteers, or about 1,500
men. They aro taken from the free negroes
in and around Havana.
A considerable quantity of red snow fell a

A German named Emil Hausman was |
celebrating his birth-day in Grand street,

EXUBERANT IIEAL.TII IS A BLESSING
vouchsafed to few. Even those who have been
favored by nnture with atroug constitutions and
vigorous framca aro apt to neglect tho precau?
tions necessary to preserve these precious endow?
ments. Indeed, aa a rule, the moro healthy and
robust a mau is, tho moro liberties he is inclined
to take with his own physique. It ia aomo conso?
lation to tho naturally weak and fceblo to know
that they can be eo invigorated and built up, by a
proper usc of tho means which science has placed
at their disposal, as to havo a much bitter chanco
of long lifo and exemptions from disease and pain,
than tho most athletic of their fellows, who are
foolish enough to suppose themselves invulnerable,
and act accordingly.
It is not too much to say that moro than half
tho pcoplo of tho civilized world ?ced an occasional
Ionic, to cnablo them to support tho strain upon
their bodies and mindn, which tho fast lifo of lilia
restless ago occasions. In fact, a puro, wholesome,
unexciting tonic, is tho grand desideratum of tho
busy millions, and thev havo tho article in HOS
TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. It is a STAMI?
NAS MEDICINE, i. e. it imparts permanent strength
to weak systems and invigorates delicato consti?
tutions. Its reputation and its sales have steadily
increased. Competitivo preparations havo been
introduced ad libitum, and, as far au tho public is
concerned, ad nauseam, in tho bono of rivaling it;
but they have all either perished in tho attempt
or been left far in tho rear. It has been tho OBEAT
MEDICAL SUCCESS OP THE PRESENT CENTUBY, and it
is quite certain that no proprietary medicine in
this country is as widely known, or as generally
U90d.
Ten lightning presses, running incessantly
(Sundays excepted) tho whole year through,

from thc pen of Dr. Curtis. Tho Medical Times
says of thia work: "This valuable treatise on tho
causo and euro of premature declino shows how

While adapted to mdder forms of disease and to
