Grant (search for this): article 1
The news. We have nothing of importance to notice on the lines in front of Richmond and Petersburg. There has been some shelling at Petersburg, and very heavy picket firing during each night. --Grant's troops have been in motion during the early part of the week. The impression was that he was shifting much of his army to the north side of the James. If he did so he has made no demonstration with them. Sheridan is reported to have left the country north of Richmond, and retreated in the direction of the Old Church, in Hanover, and the White House. We learn that the damage done by him to the James River Canal is much exaggerated in his report to Grant. This was to have been expected. There are matters of interest connected with Sheridan's movements which we might state, but for the fear of giving to the enemy some desired information which they cannot otherwise obtain.

12th (search for this): article 2
Daring Outrage. --In the county of Chesterfield, near Skinquarter meeting house, on Sunday night, the 12th inst. at a late hour of the night, a negro man forced open the door of the house of a lone maiden lady, and dragging her out of her bed, some hundred yards into the woods adjacent, attempted to violate her person. Having choked and otherwise cruelly abused her, he left her, apparently dead. Some short time after, she sufficiently recovered to make her way to the house of a neighbor. Circumstances causing suspicion to rest upon a free negro of the neighborhood, he was arrested on Monday evening, and on Tuesday morning thirty gentlemen of the vicinage met, and having heard the testimony, the outraged lady having first identified the prisoner as the guilty party, pronounced him guilty, and soon thereafter hung him till he was dead. Cases of the kind will rarely occur, where there is such prompt and summary punishment meted out to the offenders.
