A Yankee Outrage. Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 1. --A few nights ago a lot of Yankee soldiers, with blackened faces, visited the residence of a family named Newby, in Perquimans county, consisting of an aged couple and one son. They shot the son dead, abused and beat the old man, and so outraged the feelings of the old lady that she fainted. They then set to work to demolish the furniture, earthenware, glass, &c., and ended by carrying off a number of hogs, cattle, and nearly 100 negroes.

Released on Bail--A man named Augustus White was brought before Judge Meredith, at the State Court-House, Saturday, on a writ of habeas corpus, and admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000 to appear before Judge Lyons, to be tried for grand larceny, Frances J. Kelley becoming his surety. White was sent on by an examining Court of magistrates on the 1st of December, and refused ball. The circumstances attending the offence alleged to have been committed by him are as follows: White and another party made a bet as to the contents of a pocket-book. White could not close the bet for want of the necessary funds. A man standing by offered to loan the amount necessary to make the bet. The offer was accepted. White lost the bet. The party loaning the money asked for his funds, and they not being forthcoming preferred the charge of grand larceny. It w

Another Richmond letter in the London times. The London Times, of December 1st, publishes another interesting letter from its special correspondent in Richmond. We make the following extracts: In the annuals of civilized warfare such harmony in support of a war has never been approached. --The women are never failing source of wonder and admiration to the stranger, and next to the women in earnestness are the clergy, and especially those of the Ro sh faith. It is absurd to talk of such a word as earnestness being applicable to the colored race, but to the fullest extent of their powers, detestation of the Yankee is expressed by the negroes. In a former letter from the North I expressed the opinion that Mr. Davis was the oldest living American; that impression is mere than confirmed by intercourse with him. The President is one of those calm, firm undemonstrative men, inclining to reticence, but, if interested, easily led on to animated conversation; who belong to a

ble separation. From the difference of our institutions, customs, feelings, and manners. I argue the ultimate necessity of separation. Enough, the war is on our hands, and the only way to get rid of it is to support and war men and measures at the ballot-box. There is a good deal of discontent in the army on account of the turn the war seems to be taking; we have meetings, but very meagre attendance, say a hundred. We rather now expect to go to Little Rock, Ark. Monday Morning Dec. 1.--I received yours, of the 20th ultimo, last evening. Of course there is not much news, but it was gratefully received.--You will see by this that I agree with you in the saying that it get me as though the war is further from a close to day than when it first began; you will say what is my hope. An answer in closing the war by our acknowledging the independence of the South by next spring; if we can have anti-war Congress next spring, they will close the war effectually by refusing to vot

and Meade is to advance against Lee. Never, according to their veracious organs, was the prospect of crushing the rebellion so bright. We are to be pressed up into a small space, and annihilated before the mud comes on — that is before the first of December. We should probably feel some degree of alarm at these terrible threats had we not heard them two months ago, just before Rosecrans advanced upon Atlanta and stopped at Chattanooga, and Meade advanced upon Richmond to fall back on Washingtonts are sounded quite so fiercely now as they were on that occasion, and seeing that such is the fact, we take heart of grace, and comfort ourselves with the musty old proverb that "threatened men live long."--It would not surprise us at all to hear that we had given the Yankees a thrashing all around before the first of December. Before the advance of Rosecrans we were assured by the Yankee newspapers that the rebellion would be crushed by that time. Yet the prospect seems as distant as ever.

Prayers for peace. The recommendation of Pius IX. that, on the 1st of December, the faithful begin a devotion of twenty days for peace in America, is eminently becoming the head of a Church whose Divine founder came to bring peace upon earth and good will among men. In announcing this period of devotion to his congregations on Sunday last we understand that the Roman Catholic Bishop of this Diocese, the very learned and exemplary Dr. McGill, explained to his people that the peace for which he expected them to pray was such a peace as honorable and patriotic men could accept, and which did not involve any sacrifice of their rights and liberties. It would be a refreshing and beautiful spectacle if the whole Christian world, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, could unite in their prayers at the period designated for the restoration of peace to this bleeding and distracted land. Surely here is a platform and an occasion on which all Christendom could lay aside its internal di
