One of the most shoehiuf; and horri
ble events ever known to history, occurr
ed h'ist week in .Maryland, by which the
daughter of one of the. most prominent
and wtalihy citizens of CumberlaLd
county, has been reduced to a condition
a thou:it:d times wei'M; than death. Mr.
( 'b iilcs lcane, a resident of llrsdy'w
Mills, on the Ihilliniorc ami Ohio rail
road, a KCiitlemnu of education, mid pos
sessor of tho large mill and other prop
erty in the village, had an only dauglu.
tcr", named l'essic, a young lady not
quite fcventecn, possessed of refinement
n:id every virtue uud acconiplishiiient
which nature could give or money pro
cure. Mio had a form of exquisite
symmetry and grace, and a rare voice
which cultivation had trained to pro
duce the west perfect harmony ; she
was indeed a charming singer ttud belle
of the country.
For some Months past there lias been
piowlin around Brady's Mills, a most
otvMi looking mulatto, supposed to
have formerly been iho bh.vc of u broth
er of Mr. Pcano, living iu Georgia.
This monster lias lived in a filthy hut
:.t the foot of ihady's mountain, with an
o! d woman who recused ta bo mistress,
mother and housekeeper, all in ono. No
0110 knew his name, but by tho wags of
tho town he was uesignated a3 Dan
Scrunch.
On Monday, tho 2d of September,
Miss Bessie being at home, having left
school at l.altiniorc, where she was
attending, on account of the serious
illness of her mother, went, unaeconipau.
led, to spend the aftornoon with a
neighbor, some distance- round the
mountain, n sn ldcn thuudcr shower caino
on, and meeting Dan, was induced by
him to seek shelter in tho hut.
Alas 1 poor child, no eooncr bad tho
door been shut, than the fiendish demon
seized upon her, and despito her picrc.
ing screams and struggles and in the
presence of the old witch woman, be
committed upon the chuste virgin the
foulest outrage of which tho human
mind can conceive or man is capable.
He then dragged her insensible lorm
out of the hut. The cool air rivived
her and again her lips uttered a shrill
cry, when this savage beast, in human
ehjipc, standing upon her prostrate form,
with the ir.sanc idea of putting it out of
her power to tell of the crime, crush
ed open her mouth with the heel of his
boot, and with his hyena claws, he tore
the poor girl's tongue from her throat.
A sin nil boy, driving so.ne cows in the
vicinity, heating the screams, gave the
alarm, but before help arrived t0 uund
habited. The cwueiatiii'.r torture of
the delicate sufferer and the frantic
ang uish of her parents, no imagination
can conceive. She is said to be in a
dying condition mortification having
set in, and lu.r invalid mother cannot
long survive the thock. Dan Scruueh
is still at large. Tho old woman was
taken into cu tidy tho next morning
and stated that the brute returned once
during tho night, Tho woods are be
ing scoured in every direction and he
cannot long escape.

AXOTHIOII Xl.ilttO Ol'TttAliK. Last
night a young woman who resides with
Mr. Wagner, repairer of musical instru
ments, while passing along Trout street
below Mulberry, was forcibly stopped on
tho pavement by a negro ruffian, who
sprang from bthihd a tree box, and was
immediately joined by a black Accom
plice from tho opposite sid3 of the street.
Tho young woman screamed " murder,"
whi-'.h alarmed sotue of tho residents of
that neighborhood and brought them to
her rescue, when the bluch scoundrels
fled. A messenger was despatched for
polico officers, some of whom promptly
responded to the summons, but they fail
ed to get on the track of the perpetrators
of this bold outrage. Scenes ol this kind
are enacted ou our streets night after
night, aud it is unsafe for white ladies
or even little girls, to venture abroad un.
protected. Some means ought to be de
viled to leincdy this terrible state of affairs.
Another, Im-amois Outkaok.
Tin other night two little girh, neither
of them over fourteen years of age,
daughters of the most respoctablo resi
dents of Front Mrcet, were approached
on Chestnut street by a negro ruPian,
who indecently exposed his person, and
followed tho frightcud children to tho
very doors cf their residences, when ho
turned and fled. Our information comes
from a prominent professional gentleman
of this city, arclittivo of ono of tho fami
lies. It is to lo regretted that tho black
scoundrels who huvo attemptod so many

The Murder cf Sir. 6timpcoa,of Baltimoro, by
Indiaim.
It was ineutioncd a few weeks ago
that Mr. Jnmcs H. Stimpson, a respeot
cd citizen of Baltimore, had been mur
dered in Arizona Territory by tho hos
tilo Indians. Tho Arizona Miner, pub.
lished at prcscolt, iu that Territory, lias
tuo toiiowing details of the distressing
massacre :
Our community was shocked, a few
days since, to learn that Mr. James II.
Stimpson, of baltimoro, and three other
members ot tho Willing party, which
left here on the 14th instant, had been
ruthlessly murdered by Wallapui Indi
ans in the Sacramento mining district
near Hardyville.
It appearcs that when tho party
arrived at Bcalo Spring, somo thirty
miles east of the Colorado, Mr. Stimpson
ai.d eight others left tho road to visit
the Sacramouto district, while Dr. Will
ing and two others went directly on to
Hardyville. On the morning of tho 20th
Mr. Stimpson and his companions wcro
attacted by a large baud of Wallapais
and at the first fire Mr. Stimpson, Ed
ward Yonkcr and Frank Mesner were
killed. II. II. Altman had his horse
shot under him. , aS 8l,nr)osed to

uc wounded, 11c followed tho retreat
ing party for a mile or two aud then fell
back, and is supposed to have been
taken by the Indians. Mr. Hyde,
whose horse was also shot, made his
escape by taking tho fleeing mule be
longing to Mr. Mesner. who had just
fallen.
Tho savages secured six fine animals,
fiva guns, three revolvers and consider
able ammunition They wcro probably
of Chorum's famous band. As somas
th? particulars of the attack were made
known to Colonel I'rioe, commanding at
Mohave, ho sent out twenty men to re
cover the bodies. We hear that they
Were found, anil that of Mr. Stimpson
taken Last. Mr. Stimpson was a promi
nent business man of Baltimore, a man
of family, and a gentleman cverywdiere
esteemed. Although hero but a few
days, ho impressed all with his good
judgement, pleasing manners and intel
ligent interest in the country. II is cruel
death will not only bo greatly mourned
at the East, but it cannot; fail to give
fresh proof of tho necessity of tho most
vigorous prosecution ot tho war against
the hostilo Inuians who curse tho Terri
tory, and espcci.il.lj against inoSO lo
twecn here ;U(J tho" Colorado, who
evidently mean anything but peace. Tho
men Hho were kuled wuh Air. fattmpson

The Iladicul Congrc33 appointed a

whether Maryland has a Republican
form of Government, because that State
docs not permit negroes to vote. Ohio

Now will Congress espol the present

The Radicals havo been exhibiting
Satrap Sheridan over the country, eshi.
biting tho marks where A. J. kicked
him, for tho purpose of helping them
at the elections. But whilo the pcoplb
give littlo Phil credit for gallantry in
the war, they condemn his course in
Louisiana, in being a tool for Congress,
to disfranchise whites, and elcvato tho
black race into power. Ex,

Editor Advocate,
Dear Sir : I have
no matter of real fact or present interest
to communicate this week, aud, being
loth to trouble your columns with mere,
ly my own opinion or feeling'?, 1 will say
but little, and that on tho grand subject
which causes every Democrat iu l'cnn.
sylvania to rejoice ; and not in Pennsyl
vania alone but throughout tho cutiri
nation ; for our brcthcrn in the far West
are holding ovation over her victory.
When the Republicans endeavored to
hide the real cause of Democratic tri
umpo in Maine, and wovo plausible pre
tests for that purpose, their plans might
have passed current with a few, (it
would be only a few) or, at any rate, the
master would not havo been taken in
hands by the public, had not their rash,
ncss prompted them to try this trick in
regtrd to California, and other states.
And such is their desperation in this
Stato that they have even surpassed their
former efforts, and now claim (he remit
as favorable to them in (lie highest de
gree ! How this can be possible, is
what wo cannot comprehend. Wo must
content ourselves with supposing that it
is to bo reconciled to the method of rcas.
oning which has always marked them,
the preposterous and the absurd.
Alas, Radicals ! you have I eon play
ing a part ruinous to yourselves. Old
Thad. Stevens, who saw, to his dismay,
tho turn ot tho popular tide, prophesied
your ruin long ago. And your dema
gogues, who know all, but have feared
to tell, now submit to fate. Tho voice
of eightecu thousaud new patriots who
have rallied to our standatd since the
last election, is too stentorian to be mis
understood. You must not try to
" como " your Main gatno in Pennsyl
vania. You have arc-used, by your ex
cesses, thunders of generous indignation
agamst you, and, as Shakespeare says,
" Sinco by your art, you have set the
wild waters in this roar, allay them."
Everywhere through tho State, you
will find that to one Democrat who vo
ted on the 8th inst., there aro several
who seemed to take littlo or no interest
in tho lat e election.?, but who hrvo sworn
to act at the nrxt great election. This
fact will wonderfully swell our majority,
though the Republicans insist that our
voto will be smaller than the present.
There has been a complete resolution,
which at the presidential election when
all, without one exception, will be ablaze
with interest, shall bo developed in a
glorious triumph of right.
