A BRUTAL ASSAULT. —A negro named John Brown, attacked Miss Elnora Filler, at a point on the path leading from the wire suspension bridge to her mother's residence nil the opposite side of Dr. Anderson s mea dow, on last Friday night, and mal treated her in a most brutal and fiendish manner. Miss Filler had left her mother's residence early in the evening to attend the meeting ot the Aormal Literary Society, but raiu fell copiously about seven o'clock, and fearing lest it might keep up to a late hour in the ,t. she determined to return home as soon ... the rain abated. She was accompanied by ii-:!'erent parties to the middle of the bridge. I he night was very dark, and while crossing the meadow she became cognizant that some one was passing her in the same direction that she was going. In a moment the fiend seized her head with his left arm and clasped h. r throat with his right hand, preventing an out cry, and hurling her to the earth. She resisted his hellish purposes with all her strength ; in the midst of the struggle the fiend drew his knife and threatened to cut her throat; fortunately the young lady, in her desperation, succeeded in wrenching it from him, and cutting his hand very se verely. At this juncture, while pleading for her life, two young men passed with in a few rods of where the outrage was being committed, whom, it is presumed, he over-heard, and fled. Miss Filler's throat was terribly bruised and swollen, her face badly skinned, and her hand cut. Otherwise she escaped uninjured. Brown has not been arrested up to the pres ent writing, though it is not possible that he will escape. This brutal outrage has caused, as it should, considerable excitement in this community, and all good citizens have expressed them selves in favor of the severest punishment of the fiend who would thus attack a defense less female; but the most dastardly outrage, next to that abave stated, is an effort on the part of some small-fisted Copperhead politi" cians, to make political capital ont of this matter. This is most infamous ! John Brown was made drunk on Copperhead whiskey, and under its influence he became a Jiend! Nev ertheless, drunk or sober, the crime is the same, and having been committed, if cap tured, he must suffer the extreme penalty of the law; both white and black accord this, why then try to make political capital out of it 7 If a white man had committed the crime would these same Copperheads have advan ced the argument that his race was not entitled to political rights ? No ; but a negro, made a fiend by their whiskey, commits the crime, and at once they endeavor to manipulate pub lie sentiment. Shame! Shame! There is not a negro, be his mental capa city ever so small, who justifies this deed— not one. And it is singularly unfortunate for the honest, moral and patriotic colored men, and their friends, who have been labor ing earnestly for the elevation of the colored race, that such fiends as John Brown shoold bubble up to the surface to make capital for three cent Copperhead politicians. But it is only another argument in favor of a continu ation of their earnest labors. The only way iu which such outrages can be avoided, is to educate such animals and make them aware of their moral responsibility. The same ar gument that adopted Common Schools, viz: Educate the masses and you will keep them ■ t of your Poor Houses, your Jails, and your Penitentiaries, is the argument in this case. We desire to contrast the appended article enumerating a jeries of crimes with the above related. The fiend who commits these is a good Democrat, no doubt: The Memphis Post gives the following nar miive of a series of terrible murders near .Mariana, Ark.—The facts furnished us are stated to be derived from white persons, who v.une.-sed the murders on the plantation and in the courtroom. The statements are cor rob ated by colored people and the evidence elicited on the coroner's inquest. On Monday, preceding the outrage, Brad b'y -wore on the plantation that he would "kill some damned nigger before Saturday • .-ht. When expostulated with he replied, "It would not be the first time that he had run off for killing a damned scoundrel." On Friday morning be qnarrelcd with a ! ' rippled negro, who was not a field hand and j ibject to his oiders, and ended by beat- ; jag the invalid over the head with a club. A brother of the man remonstrated with Bradley ; when Bradley instantly menaced him with a •"- olver. Another brother, some forty yards 'ii-iant and the only negro in the field that wui arc d, called to Bradley, telling bim it wis an outrage to beat the cripple, and de juamling that he cease. Bradley turned upon h 'u. and instantly commenced firing. The lirst shot brought down one of the women, I the ball piercing the brain. After the second shot, the armed negro drew bis revolver and returned the fire, advancing on Bradley. The latter, distrusting the success in such a contest, retired a few paces to the house, caught up a fowling-piece, and resting it upou the fence or gate, aimed deliberately at the negro, then not more than ten paces dis tant. In this attitude both caps missed fire. He then precipitately fled, pursued by the colored men, who, however, retarned promptly and peacefully at the request of tlie lady of the plantation, who witnessed the entire affray. Bradley proceeded to Mariana, secured a warrant and posse, returning the same even ing for the arrest of four of the men. The officer was informed by the lady of the plan tation of what had been done, and Bradley was charged in. his presence with the tnurder of the woman. The men, however, were ar rested uud confined. On Saturday morning they were put upon trial; Bradley appearing, heavily armed, as the witness for the prosecu tion. When his statement was made the Court informed the prisoners they could ask the witness any question they wished. In the cross-examination of the witness, one of the nieti contradicted, jn a respectfu manner, a statement ot Bradley. Imme diately he displayed his arms. The magis trate commanded the peace, and directed the prisoner to proceed. He attempted to do so, by repeating what he had said, and called upon one of the other men to confirm what he said. Rradley then drew his revolver knock ed one of the prisoners down and fired at a second, who saved himself by striking the assassin's arm and throwing off the ball. A third one attempted to escape through a back door. He was shot through the head, and fell. While down the murderer stood over him, firing two bails through his body. Re turning to the first mar., still down, he aimed and tired a ball through his brain, killing bim instantly, and then retired from the scene.

Mr. Kegg was engaged in feeding a threshing machine when, by some means, his arm was drawn into the cogs of the tumbling shaft, and terribly lacer ated. nis breast was also cut and bruised considerably, and other parts of his person somewhat injured. In the opiuion of the Surgeon, had the cut in h't3 arm been one eighth of an inch deeper, a large artery would have been severed, and he would certainly have bled to death before assistance could have been rendered him. This is the first accidentofthiskind that we have had to record thus far this fall, but by our exchanges we notice a more or less number in nearly every county. Folks engaged about machinery can not be too careful, —the loss of life and limbs often being the result of carelessness.

We j have heard no complaint from our farmers on this subject. If the crop is injured it will be owing to the wet weather, of which we had more than during any Summer within the. "recollection of the oldest inhabitant," but it is earnestly hoped that the crop will not b.e seriously injured, as it is really second only in importance to the wheat and corn crops.

The death of this Christian woman has cast n gloom over a large circle of relations and friends. Put most sadly does it effect her bereaved hus band and children. They monrn, however, not without hope. The diseased was dedicated to the Lord in infancy, by Holy Baptism. In early life she was instructed in the doctrines of our Holy Koligion, and receiv ed into full communion with the Reformed Church by confirmation. She dearly loved the church of her fathers, and continue! to be a consistent, faithf i! and active member to the day of ber death. She was an effcctionatc wife—a loving mother and a kind neighbor. On the 14th, inst., her re mains were taken to the Reformed Church of Schellsburg, where appropriate services were held in tho presence of a large and sympathizing con gregation. Sho was hurried in the Chestnut Ridge Union Cemetery, with two of her children, who proceeded her to the land of rest. Thus an other christian pilgrim has reached her eternal home, and now enjoys that rest, which romaineth for the people of God.
