WESTERN DEMOCRAT, CHAELOTTE, 1ST. C YANKEE OUTKAGES IN AND ABOUT WASHINGTON, N- C Wc lcara from reliable authority that the yan keea aro committing great outrages in and around the town of Washington. They arrested Mr Alien Gri3t, who resides in two milea of Washing ton, put him in prison and kept him there for several days Mr Grist has since been released. At the same time, Mr Grist was arrested, they arrested his ward, Wm. Howard, a boy about 10 years of age. There was no apparent cause for the arrest of Mr Grist or his ward. Mr William Grist, pon of Mr Allen Grist, hearing that they v t i ii- r i were coming to his house, took his family in a j J? . , ' , , 3 . wagon and went through the woods, and came out again into the main road, a few miles above his house, aud when nearly in the main road he saw a Equad of armed men, whom he took to be our pickets, but upon getting near them he found out liis mistake and ran off; the Yankees fired twice at him when he stopped. He was taken and tied in the road, carried to Washington and put in prison, notwithstanding the entreaties of his wife, who got upon her knees and implored them to release him. Mr Ja. It. CirLst, who lives almot in the edge of the town, is made a prisoner in his own house, and a guard of Yankees stationed around it. They have stopped all operations on his farm, and wl not allow his negroes to go into his farm, alleging as a reason that they would in terfere with their pickets. 31 r Grist is a Iarire farmer, and such interference must infibt serious Iobs upon him, as he will not be allowed to make any crops by which to support his family. They also wnt to the residence of Mrs. Thus. Blount, about half a mile from the town, and took off all her poultry, hogs and every thing valuable about the premises, and she had to fly from her home. The most Ecriou.3 los3 and greatest outrage has been committed upon Major William B. Rodman. Maj. Rodman has two farms, one about twenty miles, and the- other about two miles from Wash ington. They have gone to each and taken the negroes and all the provisions, togctho with all his horses, mules, wagons and carts. 3Iajor Itod man, we learn, owns about one hundred negroes. They went also to the residence of3Ir Alfred -Stanley, about three miles from the town, and eizcd him and his son, a boy 15 years old. 3Ir taaly resisted them to the last, he abused them outrageously told them that the presence of his wifo only prevented him from killing at least one of thorn; and shaking his fist in their faces, told them he only needed the power to inflict merited punishment upon them. They confined him, put Lim in a buggy, and proceeded to the residence of Mr Perry and were alout to arrest him, but for reasons unkuown to us, ho was allowed to go un molested. While they were talking to Mr Perry, one of the Yankees carne liding up tho lane towards the house, when his horse fell down, throwing tho rider ou his; head whereupon 31 r Stanley exclaimed at the top oi his voice, I pray to God that you have broken your infernal Yankee neck. 3Ir 8taalcy was then sitting ia the buggy firmly tied. 3Ir Stanley and his son aro now confined in prison, and when a Yankee comes in epeaking distance, he makes known his opinion of mm. i r o. i t . r ii n V iur Niamey is aoout w years oi acre, ana a brother of tho Hon. Edward Stanley, of California, who, Gen. Jiurnsido says, is to be the Provisional UOYernor oi tins State. INote the contrast between the two brothers. It is needless to com ment upon these outrages. Tho lankces will find it rather a slow way of restoring tno union by such -means. Rut this is Only tho boginning of the cud, should the Yankees ultimately triumph in their work of subjugation. We warn all honest citizens, not hereafter to trust themselves or their property within the enemy's lines, unless they aro willing to submit to all sorts of indignities, spoliations aud outrages. The only safety for the lives, property and honor of our reoplo ia within the lines of our own army. Mark and heed what wc say. Raleijh Journal. m m MATTERS ABOUT KEWBEBN. Mr. Editor : Permit me to give the refugees from Newborn the latest news from home. I have just seen an inhabitant of that ancient borough who had ran the Rurnidc lines, and from him I have been posted up. All the trees above the town, for two miles or more, (nearly up to Harri son's plantation) have been cut down, and the miasma that will arise from the mud, that is thereby exposed, and from the dccayiii"1 vegeta tion generally, will fight a battle inAuust, September, and October, the most deadly of the war. When General Climate puts on his uniform lie will certainly be found to be an antagonist, indeed. Already the army are getting very sickly, and an average of fifteen corpses are deposited in the Cedar Grove Cemetary daily. When the war ia over, many of the good inhabi tants of old Athens, will havo lots of brawny Irishmen, low Dutch, and sneaking, penny-hunting Yankees, to disinter from their private burial I lots. All the vaults, except Judjre Gaston's, havo i been entered, and the silver plates, and other valuables from the coffins, stolen. A irood manv bodies, that were in metalic cases, have been oinpticd out, and the Caaos taken to send dead officers home. Judge Gaston's vault has thus far escaped, from the fact that it is cutirely under ground, and therefore unseen. The coflin of a lady who had lately been deposited in one of the vaults, was opened and one of the fingers of the corpse was cut off to get a ring from it; this was probably done by some low, common soldier, but : the taking of the metalic cases must, of course, have been known at headquarters. History will be searched in vain for a parallel case-. " The - rumor that an entrenchment had been made from the Ncuse to the Trent, is untrue, but an exten- ive battery, armed with heavy guns, has been built near 31 r Jen kin' vineyard. The railroad bridge across the Trent was being rebuilt. The oppression to the citizens who remained, was I almost unbearable a groat many of them had j from time to time, been imprisoned, and it was dangerous for two to be seen in the street in close I private talk. 3Iany leading men from (ho coun- ' try around, had been brought into town tied and eooie hand-cuffed. 3Ir Frederick P.

The visit of the French Minister to Richmond. TUo steamship Great Eastern brings London and Liverpool dates to the 6th. The Paris Patrie says that the visit of the French Minister to Richmond was entirely politi cal, and that its purport was known to President Lincoln. The London Morning Herald argues from the reports of M. Mcrcicr's visit to Richmond that the beginning of the end is not far distant. It says France and England suffer more than neutrals ever auuwcu iium iiuv iuiucm, una duu . . a , . . ,,' n1 t i begin to regard the war as interminable and atro i neutrals ever suffered from any contest, and both cious. Correspondence of the N. Y". Journal of Commerce. Paris, May 2d, 18C2. The rumors of intend ed intervention grow hourly more persistent. France is said to have declared her intention to Great Britain cf not delaying beyond the month of July next to recognize 'the independence of the South. This fact is asserted to be true on very high authority. No one doubts that propo .als of intervention have again been made by the Imperial Government to the Cabinet of London, and so far acceded to that instructions on that basis have been sent to M. Mcrcier by the Foreign Minister. Hence the journey of 31. 3Icrcier to Richmond. The presence of M. do 3Iomy in England is also attributed to the same cause. So doubt the material pressure on the j government grows every hour more seveie. Th ispect of things looks very ominous for the North, ao far as Europe is concerned, and causes much anxiety here to the friends of America and the Union. And a correspondent of tho N. Y. Herald, writing from. London says : 'If England were to-morrow polled, by ballot, on the question, I would stake my existence that the North would not have twelve votes. Do not, therefore, iiuiuhe about the Southern Commis sioners, what may be their intrigues, or the dis positions of England. All that is decided, cut and dry. Keep the care of your government and people but to two things that they maintain their present advantages and energy, or in case of reverse, keep on good terms with Fiance. Either of these positions, and these alone can save them from what they would have months ago to meet but for Napoleon." Gim-House Burnt. Some eoundrel, on Tuesday night, set fire to Maj. Me Lure's gin- house, about four miles from Chester, and burned it to the ground, fortunately there was only a small quantity of cotton in or under the house, al of which was saved excepting some eight bales and about fifty bushels of corn. A few days after Cant. 31 c Lure loft hero last spring for Charleston, at the head of his company, his gin-house and contents were burnt, and now the new building has met tho same fate, both evi dently destroyed by the hand of some villainous incendiary.

Cotton Seed. The Washington correspond ent of the N. York Herald writes on the 1st ult.: Fifteen hundred bushels of cotton seed from Newborn, N. C, arrived yesterday, consigned to the Agricultural Rureau of the Patent' Office. 3iore than a hundred women have been employed by Mr Newton to pack the seed for distribution with all possible dispatch, in order that the ex periment of i9 culture in the grain growing region may be fairly made. The North Carolina seed has been selected as best fitted for the soil and climate of the border and Western States. The Secretary of the Interior sent a communi cation to the House to-day; in reference to the disposal of tho appropriation of three thousand dollars for cotton seed. Walter Collins, of Vir ginia, has purchased fourteen hundred bushels for four hundred dollars, in General Rurnside's department, which arrived here on the 28th. D. C.

During the last three days God has blessed oar arms with brilliant success. On Friday the Fed- crals at Front Rdyal were routed, and one section of artillery, in addition to many prisoners, cap- . , J r ' v tured On Saturday, Ranks' main column, whilst re treating from Strasburg to Winchester, was pierced the rear part retreating towards Stras burg. On Sunday, the other part was routed at this place. At last accounts Brig. Gen. Geo. II. Stewart was pursuing with cavalry and artillery, and capturing fugitives. A large amount of medical, ordnance and other stores have fallen into our ha'.ds. T. J. JacksGn. SrLENDID STRATEGY. The operations of General Jackson, which re sulted in the capture of Winchester, formed a series of movements and combinations which have not been surpassed since the days of Napoleon. Jackson was at Woodstock. Ranks, with his main body, was at Strasburg, where he was strong ly enittnching himself, lie had a strong detach ment at Front Royal. Jackson made a demonstra tion airainst Straburir with 5,000 men. who advanced half way to that point from Woodstock. With the rest of his army he suddenly turned to his right, fell upon the enemy at Front Royal, utterly routed him, and took two regiments. Ranks, at Strasburg, hearing the firing, stampeded for Winchester. Jackson, however, was too quick for him. lie immediately set out Trom Front Royal, suspecting what would happen, t cut Ranks off from Winchester. The parties met at the junction of tho roads at Stcphensburg. Jack son cut tho column in two. Part fled to Win chester and part returned towards Strasburg. Jackson followed tho portion that fled to Winches-, tor, took that town and 2,000 prisoners, and sent Stewart in pursuit of the fugitives in the direction of 3Iartinsburg. The part that full back on Strasourg has not been heard from; but if it does not go over the mountains, 'doubtless care will be takeu of it by the column of r,000, already men tioned as deployed between Woodstock and Stras burg. Richmond Dispatch. The Spoils in the Vallky. The victories of General Jackson at Front Royal and Winches ter are fully confirmed by despatches from the old j hero liimsLH, published in this morning's paper. J he material and moral results of these briyiant entqts dc main are believed to be fully equal, if they do not surpass, the combined results of any others that have been accomplished upon the soil of Virginia. At Front Royal the spoils of the victory were rieh in arms, and included a sufficient number of splendid sabres, as yet unused, to arm the entire cavalry force of the command. At Winchester the acquisition of munitions cf war was superb. The quantity of medical stores which fell into our hands was exceedingly valua ble, and occurs at a time when their capture seems a dispensation of Providence. The prisoners, we learn, wilP be marched down to Staunton, and probably thence to some point in the South. When (Jen. Jackson entered the town nf Win chester tho Vermont Cavalry were panic-stricken at his approach,, dismounted from their horses and fled to the woods. Their horses, twelve or fifteen hundred in number, were captured. The first Maryland Regiment (Federal) were quietly amusing themselves, principally in playing bluff, and were taken prisoners, and handed over to the gallant 31 arylanders of the Confederate army, to be taken care of. liicJimvnd Pnouircr.

The Jhdlimore and Ohio Railroad in our J'ossessioH Intensely AlW tin a Scenes at Win chester. The Lynchburg Republican of 28th says: It is reported that a rovernmcnt bearer of des patches nached Staunton early yesterday morning with intelligence that Jackson's cavalry had entered the town of 31artinsburg, in Rcrkeley counrjr, ana taken undisturbed possession of the place. If this report be true, and we obtained it from such a source as to entitle it to be believed. the Raltimore and Ohio railroad Is fi"aln In our possession, and has no doubt been effectually de- troyed for such a distance as to make it of no use to the enemy for some time to come, even if our troops should be compelled to retreat, Jackson's men were mostly in the rear of the enemy who ere completely routed and dispersed, fleeing on the roads that held out the least chance of escape. Rut our troops were catching them hourly, and the occupation of 3Iartiusburg would no doubt lead to the capture of nearly the whole army, the larger portion of it having Red by that route. Winchester was Ranks depot of supplies, and the amount of commissary and ordnance stores Uj uaeivson is reported to he immense. Twenty-thrcc hundred prisoners are reported to have left Front Royal on Monday, aud arc expect- eu to arrive at Maunton to morrow or Friday. Other detachments would be sent to the same place as they were assembled. The Yankee force in the Valley at the time of the attack, it is believed only numbered about twelve thousand, and they were distributed at three points, Front Royal, Strasburir and Win- - . , - - - 1- ! Chester. When our men entered Winchester the scene is described as affecting beyond measure. The streets were crowded with all sexes, ages, and clas ses, who enthu.-instieally welcomed their delive rers. Old men, with tears of joy streaming down their withered cheek.-', and eyes uplifted to heaven ealled down blessings en the heads of the bronzed' veterans to whom they owed their freedom, neautiful women crowded around them, and vied with each other in acts, of kindness to the wearied j jsoimeis, ana anna the cheers and it ...

Truly may Jackson say in his dispatches, that "God has blessed our arms with brilliant success From Jackso: It was currently reported in town yesterday that Jackson had crossed the Potomac and was now in Williamsport, 3Iaryland. Although wc could not learn that official dispatch es had been received to that effect, still the information was very generally believed and wc deem it more probable than otherwise. Williams- poit is on the river above Harper's Ferry, six miles from Hagcrstown and on the Fredericktown turn pike. This, rapid advance of Jackson has caused great consternation in Washington and is said to have made the diversion in 3IcClellan'3 plana spoken of elsewhere. We hope to be able to chronicle Jackson's entrance into Fredericktown, in which place he will meet with powerful addi tions to his army. We are told that seventy thousand 3Iarylanders stand ready at a moment's warning to join the standard of" the old hero. 3Iany of these men have arms hidden, and those who have none are ready to fight with scythes, stick pr brickbats. It must be a happy thought that deliverance is so nigh. The fact that Jacksou is the first man to lead an army into 3Iaryland will stamp him as the hero of tho war, and will win for him the lasting gratitude of a people who have long suffered from tyrannous rule. Richmond Dispatch, oOth. Special Dispatch to the Raleigh State Journal. Kjnston, 3Iay 22nd, 18(32. What used to be "the Hon. Edward Stanly," arrived in Newborn last 31onday. This is au thentic and reliable. The above is certified to us by a gentleman who arrived in this city, yesterday morning the 20th. It needs no comment, as its very announcement will stamp him a traitor through all future time. What a contrast he presents to his patriotic brother at Washington, of whom such honorable mention was made in our last issue. That broth er has our warmest sympathies; and we hope the press will be careful not to stigmatize the name of Stanly, because of the infamy of this bad man. We learn that a number of paroled prisoners came to Newborn in the same ship with Stanly? and it is greatly to be feared he may have attempt ed to poison the minds of some of them by his insidious representations. We hope, if he has made dishonorable propositions or misrepresenta tions to any of them that such will let it be known. FROM NEW ORLEANS.

It is thus that the valorous Picayune avenges so much of the rout at Hull II un as was due to the well served guns of .1 TTI me Washington Artillery, l'ersons were being arrested and consigned to dungeons at the whim of the Yankee despot. Our intelligence from tho abovn wiontinnod source is to the effect that fifty thousand men had been landod in the city, and were now ouartcred within and about it, and garrisoning the works of the coast, lakes and rivers. A gieat deal of sick ness, and of a very fatal typo, was prevailing among the unacclimatcd Yankees of New Eng land, and seventy dead invaders were carried out from one hospital and buried duiing a single niht. Large numbers of buildings are being converted into hospitals for tho accommodation of the great number of sick rascals, who, if they do not die from actual disease, probably do from fear, their imaginations being tormented with terrible visions of Yellow Jack. If all signs do not fail, they have every reason to be worse frightened than ever they were by a bayonet charge of the Con federates. 3Iore of Rltler's Tyranny. Picayune Rutler has suppressed the New Orleans Delta and Rce, for styling the burning of cotton patriotism, lie has also issued a proclamation, that after Tuesday, the 27th of May, Confederate money will cease to be a medium of trade in N.

It came from a north-west direction, and continued some ten or fifteen minutes. Great damage was done to our gardens, beans, cabbage, peas', onions, pota toes, A:c., cut to pieces, ton into ribbons and beat into the ground Our fruit trees, which onlv a day ago, promised a bountiful crop to ungrateful man, are now almost entirely deprived of their abundant treasure.
