From the Atlanta Defiance we learn that a most dastardly and cowardly outrage was committed on the Rome Express, a branch of the Western and Atlantic R. R., a few days since. Miss Rosa Morehead, one of Atlanta's most refined and lovely daughters, on her way from that city to Marietta, was expelled from the ladies car by brute force by two white ruffians who dragged her out and forced her into the 'Jim Crow' or smoking car. The brave lady appealed for protection to the conductor but got no satisfaction from the cowardly cur. If colored men don't see that this thing is stopped they are worse than dogs and merit the contempt of mankind.
