Colonel Bill Borland was the generalissimo
of the Texan Lynchers. He well deserved the
' title which he had won by many a desperate
deed. He possessed such incredible skill in the
u. usd hf all murderous weapons, that it might bo
pronounced virtual suicide to even think of en
countering him, so rapid was his motion, so un
erring his mortal aim The terrible cognomen
of *t)c*lU in the eye.’ told truly the mark at
rrhich he always fired—a mark ho hail never
once missed—while such was his astonishing
quickness thht his antagonist usually fell with
out drawing the trigger. An enemy stood no
better chance by 1 resorting to tho sword or
bowie-knife, against one in whose hands the
flash of steel was like lightning—as swift, is
mighty to slay—one who appeared to surpass
all other men in strength as in activity—a gi
■ ant in stature, a gladiator in practice, a fiend
m colirnge. His biography in itself was more
thrilling than a novel, wilder than the wildest
romance: ami tlie very first act of his dread
*- (id daring revealed, in all their force and full
ness, the two essential elements of hischaraclcr
I' —the ferocious ardor of his appetite for revenge,
i and tho iron pertinacity of his iudomitablo will.

Colonel Bill Boriandgozed on tins opparation
with iricfrablo ; contempt, and whispered to his
comrades—‘Wo will have it all our own way,’
as-Iluston has kindly sent us a A/iss Nancy/’
If the Colonelhad paid more attention to the
man. andlcßS to the clothing, he would, per-’
haps, Imre been led toadiflercht conclusion:
fortlierc was a strange light in the vivid bine
eyes of the stranger—a light’that came 4ml
went at irregular intervals, like the play of
ligtening in a Summer cloud, while tho corners
of h»s mouth wore a 1 wild, resolute, sneering
expression, betokening the opposite of pliancy
and fear.
Tho grand jury being called and awOrn, the
judge commenced his charge, and at'the sound
of his voice everybody started'; for the tones
were shrill as a trumpet—stem, ringing, im
perious, like the accents ofit commander on pa*
fade. Having glanced rapidly Over the legal
definitions and peitollies of crime. proceed
ed to descant on tho responsibilities of juries
to aid iu Us suppression. His soul appeared
to catch the electric tiro fit tho theme—his
voice borrowed the rich roll of thunder—his
vivid blue eyes literally blazed with that strange
light—the wild expression grew terrible an. his
writhing lips—ana his words flew like volleys
of burning arrows. He painted thb horlors or
lawless anarchy till tho very heart sickened 1 ;
he described the beauty of- regular government
os a vision of heaven realized on earth ; and he
finally closed with the bold imnounccmcnt—'l
will perform my duty. I will pat doWrt the
Lynching whferever T have tho honor of presi
ding or L will myself be put in the grove r
•Then, JUr.<* rfuiwii, take care of your eyes!’
cried a honrue voice, louder and more menacing
than that of the judge.
Every heart gavcone shudder. The sentence
seemed like a warning from elernity ; a reve
lation. q« it were, from the depths of hell.
‘Who are you that dares to interrupt the
business of the court 1’ exclaimed Judge
Evans, with the grave majesty Ofitfcmg.
‘My name is Col. Bill Borland; but most
persons call me ‘Death in the Eye,’ was the*
answer. [
‘But in law you have another name,* rejoined
Evans, smiling. |
•Tdl me what it is; but take good caro of
your eyes !’ retorted Borland, with unspeaka
ble fury.
‘lt is murderer!’ said Evans, and the smile
on his Ups; before pale sunshine, was now &
wreath of lurid fire.
•You shall pay dearly for that word within a
week !’ fairly shouted the duellist, grinding his
teeth like a raging wild beast. j
•There is no time like the present,’ was the
calm reply.
•Now!’ interrogated Borland, as if doubting
the evidence of his cars.
‘Yea, now ! if you have the courage to chal
lenge me/said Evans.
‘1 do'challenge you !’ thundered Borland.
, ‘Ami I, accept/ answered. Evans.

‘The terms V asked Borland, with signs of
astonishment. ,
‘On horseback, In a little prairie west of the
village,'ono half hour from 'this, each armed
with as many pistols and knives ns he can pro
duce, or sees fit to curry/ said Evans, appa
rently passionless, as-if defending a motion in
court.
Not one but the actors in this extraordinary !
scene uttered a syllable, or offered to interfere, ,
for all saw that such an attempt would he una
vailing. perhaps dangerous to the meddler.—
One half hour afterwards the parties met in the
little prairie, which was circular in form, and '
about three hundred yards in diameter. By
tacit consent, both actuated by the same pur
pose. they assumed their stations in the edge of
the timber on opposite sides. Both wore strong
belts, literally stiff with knives and pistols.—
Both were mounted on powerful Bleeds, but of
opposite colors, that of the Judge being white
os a cloud, while tho Cololuel’s was black and .
glossy as the wing of a raven. The features Of
the riders in that race of death, presented dif
ferent types ul expression. Thu Colonel’s brow
looked dark os tho gloom of a tempest—stern,
lowering, awful ; but the hnndsomc-facc of the
Judge was gay. smiling, joyous—brilliant as
the sunbeam that kissed it. The' multitude
stood around in tho grove, speechless, almost
terrified with tho scene about to open.
Suddenly tho Colonel waved a white pocket
handkerchief, as n signal that ho was in tho
act of starling; and swift as on arrow from the
bow, terrible os balls from the cannon’s mouth,
the two Norsemen, with pistols cocked, and fin
gers firm on tho trigger, shot towards each oth
er. When within fifty stops of his enemy, the
Colonel halted with surprising dexterity, and
crying in loud tones —‘Now take care of your
eyes r levelled and fired.
At that instant the Judge urged his horse to
an evolution, as if bounding over a wall, and
.the bullet alined for his eye struck the silver
ftommel of his saddle, and glanced off without
»arm. Continuing his former velocity, ho pas
sed tho Colonel within three feet, discharging
his pistol at the others bosom, but indicting
only a sliglfi wound ; and both then proceeded I
to the opposite side of tho prairie, and renewed
their headlong course. This timu neither halt
ed, but passed, almost touching each other,
ami both fired as they passed, each drawing
from his foo a stream of blood. Tho same
charge was repeated, with like result, half a
dozen times, till their fire-arms.were exhaust
ed, save n«pnall pistol in tho pocket of the Col
onel, and yet both kept their saddles.
The last sweep of all was terrific,' The horses
were bathed in foam, tho riders were covered
with blood, and both reeled in their scats; yet
they rushed onward, madly os ever, while two
terrific erica ns they started, warned the ap

A most ludicrous dftair 1 a|ely occurrcd at one
of the country faits in apeignboring State.—
There had beefrilh accommodation train placed
upon the railroad parsing the village situated
near to thb fair grounds, the'rates of fair upon
which had been reduced to just one half the
price charged on the regular train. The ac
commodation train left at 8 A. Rf.. each day.
As-was expected, on the evening .of the last
day of the lair, a large crowd had collected on
the platform near tjio Depot, awaiting - the ar
rival of the regular Express train, expecting to
get passage thereon, to their different places of
destination.
At length' a whistle was heard in the dis
tance, and amid fire and smoke, the long train
t apperaed in view* Many of the crowd had
been waiting for hours, and at that late period
were almost overcome with weariness, hut at
the welcome sound they roused themselves and
ewanhed on the platform like bees. The eye
of the Conductor,.be having had some difficul
ty with a like crowd the night before, took in
at a single view the whole dilemma in which he
was placed. lie certainly must stop, and hc :
know that in an instant the entire train would
bo beseiged by applications for. passage. Tho
cars were already crowded to their utmost ca
pacity, and, os to receiving any more passen
gers, he knew it to be impossible.
It was just as he expected, the wheels hard
ly censed revolving, before pell-mell came the
whole crowd, scrambling* i tcaring, pulling,
hauling upon the platforms, each one anxious
Ip get within and secure a good scat. They
round the door locked however, and well guard
cd by the conductornndhis assistants., * It was
in vain that he explained to (hem that he could
not carry them, that. the cars were already
crowded. They would listen to nothing, they
wonted to go, sd they would. They’crowded
the platform, they clung to the steps and hung
to the windows. His time was up, «nd ho had
no space to tarry —lut it mattered not to. tho
crowd, they had got a foot-hold ond were bound
to go. It mattered not how insecure tho posi
tion, if (heir limbs were damaged or their lives
jeopardised, the company was able to pay, and
they hung on.
The bell rang, the whistle sounded, but bore
no warning to them. The poor conductor
looked puzzled, and scarce knew what todo.
* If the train moved some lives must be lost, and
i to remain longer where he was he could not.—
I Flo entreated, told them another train would be
along, but the crowd heeded them not, they
j were determined to goon that train. Atlenglh
an idea broke upon him. Upon the switch
near him. were three empty cars belonging to
the accommodation train.
'Gentlemen, ’ said he, *if I must, I suppose I
must.’
He then went and examined the wheels of the
empty train and found them in order.
•Now/ said he. ‘nil who want to go. get into
the two front cars of this train.’
Away went the crowd, tumbling over each
other, screaming, laughing and hooting: and
in less l)ian a minute the two cars were filled to
their full extent by the ‘homeward .bound/
Each had secured a good seat and ' were con
gratulating each other as their perse
verance had! gained for 'them/ mid solacing
thcmselvefi with thd prospect of a speedy..jour-i
ney- ;-Those,nearest the ‘windows nad.atfjnW
cd them, in orde/to allow a free circulation of
air, and carpet bags and valises'were stowed
snugly away under the scats. Perhaps a bet
ter contented company had never got into so
small a compass before, for they were bound to
go home, and here was a fair chance of doing
so. Tn a few minutes they would be In motion,
it was but a few rods ahead to the switch, they
would soon hitch on, and then away.
The conductor had mounted Ida train, and
the engineer was at his post.
■Areyou all aboard gentlemen?’ asked the
conductor.
‘Yea, sir V cried a hundred voices.
•Then, gentleman, I wish you gopd night,
and a pleasant journey home.
The whistle sounded, and the bell rang, and
away w»nt the train ul the rate of about twen
ty miles an hour.
A dead silence reigned throughout the two
cars for almost a minute, when a largo, hurley
ml whiskered man straightened himself upand
said:
•Gentlemen, in my opinion, we have all been
very cheaply 'sold.' 110 has gone away and
left us. 1
So bo bad, and a fiercer crowd of men was
never sden In that region before- They swore
and stamped, and (ore, and cursed all railroads
that ever were built. It was well tho conduc
tor did not go over that road again that night,
foi* ho would niost likely have found it. a ‘hard
road to travel.’ At length with no better pros
pect before them, the crowd dispersed to tho
different hotels and caroused the remainder of
the night away.— Dutchman.

Not long since there Was four such little ones.
Their mother had been homo to a sunny land
of flowers, that she might catch again tho bloom,
that had faded from her cheek.. But. it enmo
hot—and there among strangert/sho died.—
Her soul went to the spirit land, and .her body
was brought to rest among its kindred. Two
of tho little ones Went to the tomb ; with those
who boro their mother’s' precious fonrt. As
they passed tho and looked down deep
into it. each one cast some flowers upon tho
coffin lid. It was a sweet sight—a pretty' tri
bute to tho .memory of a mother —all they could
do now to tell of their deep antettoq.'

ccuttd by the Chcrokccs, under the Cherokee
laws' and by a Cherokee sheriff, was a fellow
named ‘Nat,’ who was hanged about five miles
from the town of Van Huron, in Arkansas, for
the murder of another Indian wlio was called
‘Mosquito.’ The singular and almost Uuglia
blo particulars of the execution were recorded
at the time by an eye witness:
•The sheriff had caused a grtllows to bo erect
ed a short distance from the court lodge, but
when the culprit was brought to it, he being a
very tall man, it was found lobe too short ‘for
his accommodation,* and some other place had
to bo sought for the execution.
•The whole band of Indians, with the sheriff
and ‘Nat* in the midst of them, then betook
themselves to tho banks of the .Arkansas, in
search of a proper treo from which to suspend
the prisoner; and. after, a little lime, a, tall
cotton wood was found, with a projecting
limb far up the trunk, that, in the opinion of
all, was suitable for the purpose.
‘Nat,’now that all things were ready, ex
pressed a wish to bathein thb river once
jhoro, which ho was'permitted to do, carefully
guarded by the rifles Trent tho shore.. IJo went
into the water, frolicked about for some time;
swam to and fro with great apparent pleasure,
then came to the shore, donned his blanket,and
stood reddy for tho lost act of the drama. ,
•'The Sheriff now told hiih to climb the tree,
which he commenced doingj- the officers of the
law toiling up nftcr.hira with .tho fatal cord.—
‘Nat’reached the projecting branch of tho tree,
and was desired uy tho Sheriff to work him
self out upon ’it as ffif off flora the trunk os ho
could, which 1 was done, wh6n the sheriff ad
justed tho noos'e around hisncck. and tied tho

Anecdote of Silos Wright.
A gentleman who during tho lifetime of Mr.
Wright, was one of his most intimate and con
fidential friends, related to us. a few days ago,
the following incident Of bis life, an incident
which shows clearly the high .moral principle
by. which that great find good'man was ever
governed, in both .private and public aflbirs.
While a member of tho Senatd of New York,
many years ago, there were several applications
for bank charters, some of them for institutions
with a large capital, and whose friends were
urging llio passage of the bills with vehemence,
and a system of Lobbying was brought into
requisition, .scarcely, interior to■ the present
highly perfected - state of the profession. On
One occasion a prominent member of Assembly,
ahd either then or subsequently Speaker of the
Housc;‘ftnlking arm in arm with Mr, Wright,
wheen the following conversation, in substance,
passed.between them:
, Member—l am told, l\lr. Wright, that you
have never acquired a fortune, but arc in mod
erate circumstances.
' Mr. Wright—You arc comet. I have never
found time to ,devote especially to making mon
ey, and besides am not perhaps so much at
tached to property as most men.
Member—liut you would not dislike to be'
rich, and in easy circumstances ? I
Mr W.—No; on the contrary, it would af
ford mo pleasure to have a competency, be
lieving that I could use it prudently, and in f
such a manner as to benefit others as well os
myself.
Mem.—l think I could put you in the way
of a fortune of say §50,000, if you would but
adopt my suggestions.
Mr. W—l should feel greatly obliged to you
for any, suggestion, which would enable me,
honestly, to acquire such an amouqt.
Mem. then, you know that the bank
bills will be np in the Seriate to-morrow. Wo
have been canvassing, and find tho-vote very 1
close- 1 know your opposition to them, and
your determination to defeat, them. Now if yon
could manage to he unwell, and be' detained
from your sent wheii the question is taken, I
havo no doubt some of my friends would do
something handsome, and rather think it would
be Sso,ftU(h
Mr. W.—(lndignantly dropping the arm of
tho member,) Sir, I ani astonished. You'havo
said enough sir. I wish-to hear no more. If
my life is spared, 1 shall bo in my scat to vote
against the bills. ,
Mr. Wright said thaUsuch an impression
was made on his mind by the conversation,
tliat ho was too nervous to sleep soundly, and
that at ono time of the night, ho awpko and
found himself wandering about the room, in a
slate of nervous excitement.,. In, the' morning
he ate a very light brcaklbfet, fearing ‘ It might
cause him to be sick', arid half an hour before
tho meeting of tho Scnate,hc was in. his scat,
impatiently,waiting.lprthoopportumty to re
cord his vote, as judgment ana honesty (bela
ted.
Such was the principle which, controlled the
action of Mr. Wright.in all his public and pri
.vote relations. 1 ' His,success is recorded in his
tory, while the fate of tho person who 1 had the
temerity to attempt to , swerve him .from, the
path of rectitude,,although a man. of.'finu, tal
efijg^ind'jtojndar tnapncqB,roll a prdy.tb dissipa
tion,’'and after removing from'lns country rest*'
donee toillio city: of'New York, died an inglori
ous death. Wo could give his name., but pre
fer to withhold it ojit of regard for the feelings
of fri ends.
House of Common's’ Courtest.—The fol

of Commons, on the foreign enlistment bilb—
Ilc-is an old member, ami an old man. being
not far on the right side of octogenarianisro.—
Hois brief and blunt, nnd often makes speeches
pretty much in the style ot tho following. He
is himself, we suppssc, one of tho “devilish
good soldiers,” much older than thirty or thir
ty-five. Certainly he has been. Lord Raglan
Is not far from seventy, ami Sir John Burgoync,
the chief engineer before Sebastopol, is not much
less than seventy-live, having been fiftv*ftvc
years in tli*British army. It is very likely
that he is of the family of Saratoga Burgoync.
Ho has the reputation of being a very able offi
cer. ..The other was not so considered :
“Colonel Siblhorp had deeply felt the gross
insult offered to tho body to which ho belonged
—the militia'of the United Kingdom. Ho firm
ly believed that almost any number of good
nnd'tme Englishmen couhf bo obtained; and.
os to the noble lord's talk about thirty and
thirty-five years of age, ho had seen devilish
good soldiers much older than that. [Laugh
ter.) lie wrts confident English soldiers could
be had, and that by their conduct they would
defy tlip aspersions of men who were no sold
iers. j ;[llcar, hear.] Ho should, with pleasure,
give a firm negative against this measure of the
Government, as well as any other measure of
which lids might be the lorcrunner. Tho con
duct of Ministers was underhand, low, dirty,
mean, cowardly—(laughlcrj-uhworthy oFEng.
llahmcn. Save and except the noble lord, the
Secretary for tho Homo Department, they had
no proper feeling. With that exception, the
Lord liavo mercy on such a set.” [Laughter.]

Shocking Scenes at an Execution at New
Orleans.
Wilhelm Jung was hung at New Orleans on
the 2d inst., for the murder of an orphan boy,
of whom he was the guardian. We gather
from the papers of that city (he following ac
count of the revolting scenes that preceded the
execution:
Three days previous he attempted to commit
j suicide with a knife which he had in some mys
terious manner procured, and which he had
sharpened on the brick wallsofhia solitary cell.
His windpipe had been cut, and his throat,
from ear to car, had been hacked with a des
perate, but misdirected energy, which left it a
complete mass of mangled flesh. Ho bad also
stabbed himself in the side, and attempted to
butt Uis braias out against tho walla, but with
out avail. The vronmls were bound up with
lint and linen, but it was with great difficulty
he could be kept alive until the day of execu
tion. It appears, however, ho walked to the
gallows with a firm step. So soon ns the drop
fell tho wounds in his neck were opened afresh,
presenting a horrible sight. Tho knot of the
rope caugn him directly under the chin, throw
ing bis bead back, and he lived for sometime
struggling most desperately. The windpipe
was entirely severed—tho blood flowed copious
ly from Ins throat and mouth, staining his
white neckerchief and cap—and the wind
rushed througb the opening with a frightful
and most unearthly loud report, which caused
every spectator in tho yard to shudder and turn
away his bend in horror. Tho nconv of the
suflbrer must have been intense, ills legs and
arms, though firmly tied behind his back,
writhed about for at least ten minutes. The
! veins of bis hands increased in size. After
hanging about fifteen minutes. Dr. Sebnsller
S renounced him dead, and his body was cut
own and placed in a rough coffin,'and soon
tho ghastly. lifeless form of the child slayer
was forever hid from mortal gaze.'
•A Whole Nation op Franklin3.‘—The

Brother Jonathan raise himself in his boots sev

•We have a few great engineers and median* 1

nation of such people. Already ibeir rivers
swarm with Ibclories, their towns surpassing
every State in Europe, cxccrt Belgium, Holland

which now distinguish a town population, and
there is scarcely an art in Europe not carried

in Europe, though it has here been cultivated
and improved thro*- ages. -A whole nation of

-•*Tho Emperor has sought a diversion from
the pressing cares which the precarious situa
tion of the army in the East nns caused him.
Dc has shut himself up—invisible to the whole
world, save his ministers—in the Palace of St.
Cloud. He who is ordinarily so calm, cannot
now, it is said, conceal his irritation. Nobody
dares to approach him. The Empress herself
seems to have lost that supreme influence with
which her grace, her sweetness, and her beau
tyvhave hitherto invested her. In the midst
of continual and violent rains. St. Cloud has
become to her a most dreary abode. She de
sired to return to the Tuillcries, hut her august
husband for thirteen days resisted her wishes.
To him solitude was a necessity, lie recovered
his serenity and conscntenlcd to return to the
Tuillcrica when he learned that Austria had
joined the Allies. Ills diplomacy has borne
him a great triumph, ho sees France return to
him which atone time seemed so far a way.
Since their return to Paris, the Emperor and
Era pres spend much of their tiiucon Inc Champ
Elyses, and in the Bous do Boulogne. The
Empress appears to enjoy perfect health. But
the Emperor's features boar the marks of great
anxiety, illustrating tho truth ot tho saying
that there is no earthly crown which docs not

in Mexico we find the following As 1 enter

was a side alter, converted into nn arbor, in
tho centre of which was a well, with Christ
and the woman of Samaria beside it. Thclady
had been lilted out by a most fashionable man
tna-ronkcr. in a castumc of blue satin, tricked
out with pink, and while she leaned gracefully
on a silver pitcher, resting on the edge of the
well, our saviour stood opposite in a mantle of

—lt is not often that we arc colled upon to no
tice an act of legislation so urgently demanded
by grave and pressing public considerations as
the army bill which passed the Senate on Thurs
day last: and wo think tbo whole country will
sympathise in this opinion. That suggestions
of tho Secretary of War, so strongly approved
; by the President, in reference to tno increase of
the army, should occasion discussion, docs not
surprise us. We arc not, however, prepared
for so much opposition as was manifested on.
