OUTRAGE.--The St. Charles, (Mo.) Advertiser gives an account of a horrible outrage committed by some eight or nine men calling themselves regulators, upon two travellers upon the river road near Martha'sville, Warren county, in that State. These men were on foot in search of employment as they stated themselves, when they were seized by the regulators, tied hand and foot to a tree, and so severely flogged that one of them was left under the care of a physician, and the other is missing, supposed to be dead. One of the regulators has been arrested, recognized by the sufferer, and will be tried for the offence. No cause is assigned for the outrage, except that the travellers were suspicious looking persons, and there was great excitement in Warren county in consequence of the recent assassination of Dr. Jones.
