THE “ Lay . And from her May yiolpts sj 6ne morning. . _ .of the extreme warm summer of 18-j—, I w[as traveling along .he dusty highway towards the city of N—No rain ' had fallen for many d lys ; and the young grass and humble wayside blossoms were withering beneath - the scorching rays of a Southern sun. I too felt my weary head fast drooping across my [path, leaving a long'brightline of verdure to mark jits pleasant pathway. Instinctively I followed the course of the rivulet; I bathed my hot brow in | its refreshing waters—watched the tiny fishes sporting over the bright sands—listened to the song of the hidden bird, and gathered the wild roses that dip ped their blushing peials in the waves. [Thus pleasantly engaged, I forgot my journey and; wan dered on through the sweet valley till I reached a large antiquated farm-house. 1 It stood beside j the creek, and was half concealed by a cluster of weep ing willows that swept its low roof with their long silvery leaves. The smoke curled lazily up ; the chimhey ; and the white palings peeped forth ^ MORE LYNCH LAW. . A California correspondent of the Journal of Commerce gives the following thrilling account of a murder, and the summary manner in winch of tenders are punished in that almost lawless lan Some of my previous litter, tave giveayou a oeeD into our election scenes, and our alcalde s method of proceeding in civiV cases. Here are one ” two instances of a very common mode of ad ministering iufltice to criminals in our midst. A drunken Englishman, named Divine, murdered his wife under circumstances of unusual cruelty.— During their whole residence in Georgetown, she had supported him and their children by her own industry. He asked her one roortung for some money to gamble with, but she told him to wait until he was sober. He rushed across the room for a pistol, but she anticipated him and threw it into a bucket of water. He .then leaped into the street, snatched a rifle from -the shoulder of a passer by,, returned and shot her through the heart/ It was Sunday, and as'the usual placets of resort were filled by miners, who invariably spend that holiday in town, 2 the report of a rifle in the street was nothing unusual, but the tale of horror flew as only rumor can fly, and in five minutes the house was filled. In such a country as ours, and nnder'such circumstances as these, men act rather than speak. A neighboring “ Round Tent ” (our gambling houses are turned into Court Rooms on account of their size) was selected as the scene of trial. The prisoner was then led in, and Then be* fore a word was spoken, another party brought in the body of his wife, just as she fell with the dark blood oozing from her breast. She w*e gently laid on a large table: near her hqsband. The sight stung the people into frenzy. No one thought of wasting words in a trial. The prisoner was seized; and hurried to a little eminence overlooking the village, where the noose of a larist swung signifi cantly from a tree. Just at this moment, a man of great • influence with the people in that vicinity, attempted to persuade them to postpone their de sign until a Coroner’s inquest should be held upon the body, and a summary trial, but still a trial, had, after their verdict/ With much difficulty he suc ceeded, on condition that the inquest and trial should fee held upon that day 5 and as the Coroner was at Columa, four o’clock was given as the last moment. An express was sent Columa, and, to save time, a jury empanneled to act instantly upon his arrival. They sat together in the tent with the prisoner and the body. The mob waited outside, but were not unemployed. A deep pit was dug at the foot of the tree, and all the solemn furniture of the grave prepared. As four o'clock approached, the silence of the mob was broken by = deep whispers and hoarse murmurs. Rifles, pistols, and bowie knives were freely displayed. This did not escape the notice of the jury, and they began, not unnatnrally to Jean for their own safety. At last when the sun was low in the west the mob could wait no longer,’but tore up the sides of the tent and rushed in, just in time to see the last juryman escaping by a back way. They went at their task without a word.--* At the head of a long procession, the murderer marched to his gallows, and. the body of his wife was borne close behind him. The children,— thank Heaven!—were not there j but even in that stern scene, they were not forgotten. A small box, marked “ For the Orphans ,” was .nailed to the tree, and many an ounce was poured into it from the purses of those who followed the father to his death- The body of the murdered woman was lowered into a wide pit, and even while the wretched man gazed upon it> and upon that empty but significant box by his. side, the cord suddenly tightened around his neck and he swajed in the air. The mob sat on the hill side, and sternly watched him. At the end ot half an hour, he was cut down and laid in the grave’by the side of his wife. In five minutes, Georgetown was as still as that lonely grave upon the hill. Not a man was to be seen in the streets—no pne knew anything of the lawless mob. I . • In the evening, th!e Coroner arrived, and upon hearing.the story, summoned his jury for morning. They met .at sunrise upon the hill, and- stood around the unfilled grave, while the end of a cut cord dangled above their heads. They exchanged a few words, and after laying a slip of paper upon each of the bodies, proceed to fill up the grave— Upon one of the slips! was written, to Murdered by Divine, her hpsband,” and upon the other, « Died according to. the will of God by the justice of men.” ! . . Another instance occurred to-day in this city. Yesterday evening, a Doctor Lennox, from Scot land, was shot while sitting in his office. This morning, a man who had oltened menaced his life, was seized on suspicion, and examined before the prope*authorities. During the examination, sev eral'circumstances were discovered which left scarcely a doubt of his guilt. Just before the end of the examination, a party of-men with black faces rushed into the room, and their leader with a dexterous whirl of the liata, lassoed the criminal ‘across the room,*and in a moment dragged him outside. Every one rushed out. The sheriff, cal ling all lovers oMaw and order to his assistance, attempted a re-capture.' He was backed by a large party, but many ranged upon the other side. After an obstinate fight, the prisoner was re-taken and put under a strong guard. No one offered to arrest the Lynchers. EB. ited flesh, : | tare. In transplanting shrubs, as ’well as very sraal trees, a common error is to place them too deep, in' the eartb. This has arisen from .the fact that, by; receiving more moisture they often succeed best in: the first summer, at the expense, however ot their subsequently healthy growth. It is much better to plant shallow, imparting the necessary moisture T>y means of a deep, mellow soil beneath, and by; mulching above. ' The’material of the latter may. be short litter manure, moss, spent tan, inverted turf, or leaves or leaf mould. A raised surface, consisting of these materials to the heighth of six inches, will occasion hodnjuryWhatever, for.a year or two, and admirably equalize the moisture of the soil. Manure used in this way operates benefici ally, not only in {l the preserving ot the moisture, but'increasing the fertility by the liquid manure: carried down in.solution by rains, especially if ap plied in autumn orwinter. The contrast between theihard and baked surface, too often witnessed 1 when the ground is left bare, and the moist and softened earth between'a coat of manure or litter, can be only sufficiently understood by actual ex : ! periment. Its advantages were strikingly exem plified a year or two since in planting out a bed'of strawberries in the middle of an excessive dry summer. ' The roots, after being fixed by water in transplating, were protected from a drouth bv a coat of-manure three'inches thick, although they were watered but once; not a’plant perished. • Staking -may be in some instances, necessary to prevent swaying by the wind, or a one-sided growth, where they are imperfect or unequal roots.. But usually,, il the shrub,is furnished with good, roots, and if care.is taken .while the. earth is sho velled in, to spread them 'all out like the arms of: an umbrella, they will serve to brace it .evenly, Jand ■ prevent a one-sided growth. Fixing by water, as it-is terined, 1 is.often sufficient, alone, to preclude tbe'necessity of staking. It iB most conveniently done by three persons—one spreading out the roots with his fingers, a second sitting in the earth, while the third settles it by pouring water from the nose of a-waterjng pot. Although soft at first, the soil in a few hours dries and hardens sufficiently to hold | firmly the newly set roots. ’ An additional stiffen ing, it needed, may be given, encircling the stem with a small temporary mound of earth. . In transplanting roses,.and some other small shrubs, sufficient pruning; of the topis rarely given. Climbing roses, and those generally which throw I up rapid and vigorous Bhoots, will make a better i growth by autumn,by cutting down to a few good! buds when set out, than by leaving a long portion j of the stem and branches, which, indeed, not un-j frequently draw so hard bpon the roots as to cause j the death o.f the plant On the other/hand, we l have seen shrubs transplanted in wet weather with: entire auccew, after having grown six’ inches by taking up roots, and drenching the soil well with water, at the same time very freely shortening back the shoots, and lopping most to the | Many Cultivator. ] Transplanting Shrubs. «thJt country is the most PROSPEROUS, WHERE LIBOR Cl CItTY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 8,-1851, TU© Kent County Murder. The Baltimfire Sun of Friday last contains a long report of line examination of W. W. Webster, the uncle of Mrs. Cosden, on the charge of having been a participant in the murder of Mr. Cosden and his family. [The examination was on his application for a writ of habeas corpus. The substance of the testimony is as follows:- “ Dickson Webster, nephew of. the prisoner, am] brother of Mrs. Cosden, who was killed, lived with Mr. Cosden at the time of the murder, had just fin r . : ished his'supper, and was sitting at the fire, when a man sh!ot through the window, and Cosden fell. The ladies screamed almost instantly; the door was broken open, and the man rushed in; witness saw him take aim at Miss Amanda Cosden;-and then witness ran out of the room. , -The witness, before the murder, haddived with prisoner. Mr. Cosden went to the prisoners house to get the witness to come and live wiLk him, but failed on his first visit; After Cosden had left, Webster said to witness that he would have stuck his sword-cane in him, u he had taken him (the witness) aginst his will.. Wm. H. Webster (called for the State—The prisoner, is his half-uncle. The previous witness,-.Dickson Webster, is the brother of the witness; witness had a conversation last winter a year with the prisoner about Dickinson; prisoner said that when witness wen to farming he. would want the boy; prisoner then laughed, and said whoever took the boy should not prosper. Mr. Cosden said if the boy stayed a month* and did not like.it, be might return. On the second Visit Cosden borrowed a dirk from Browne, at Caldwell’s, in. the forest, and returned it as he came back. Upon hearing of the-murder, witness immediately thought of the remark of that “no one should prosper who took the boy, -5 but still .thought, that Webster could not have.-the heart to have,engaged in the murder. Witness had no conversation since the threat, as to its meaning; did not see Webster between the boy’s removal and the murder. Cosden, on the second trip, said he intend ed to bring the boy; Cosden said “ I don't know that he is that kind 'of a man, but lam going to be ready.” Cosden asked Browne if he had a pistol; Browne said he had something better, and loaned him the dirk; Cosden said he didn’t know that he was a man likely to do violence, but would be prepared. Henry Mitchell testified that he invited prisoner to the funeral. Webster said nothing about the murder; witness told Webster that he ought to satisfy the people by coming down to the funeral. The arrangement postponing the funeral was changed about noon on Saturday; witness told Webster on Friday that he was suspected; Webster replied that he could not have the heart to do it; saw no signs ol grief in Webster during the-funeral; witness and Mr. Crisfield brought Webster to Char* , lestown alter his arrest; witness said, lam satisfied , you didn’t doit, but the people think that you in f stigated'it. Witness said that he had no money to •• employ men for such a purpose; that he was a poor man. j Webster asked what they would do with a • man who instigated a murder; .witness said they j wouldjhang him ; asked what they would do if a , mart turned State's evidence; witness remarked [ that he could not tell why they murdered Cosden, that he had no money. John Browne, (for State,)—This witness lives at Coldville, in the forest, and keeps a store—was committed to jail a few days since on a charge of stealing wheat Upon his person was found a note in abput. the following words:—“Mary Browne, John Browne—He says he is going to kill them to night j wants me to help him; you are my friends and I riiay tell you; if you don’t mind he will kill you. The man is Abram Taj lor.” There is no date. ’ .... The witness states that he found this note in his shop, between two- barrels; could not read it; showejd it to his wife and several other persons, among them Abram Taylor; Taylor laughed at it as a joke 1 . Heiie the evidence closed, and the Court upon de- liberation, remanded the prisoner to jail, saying, at the same time, that they thereby expressed no opinion as to his guilt or innocence. Herron and Ford, two of the parties under arrest, were then re leased! the State producing no proof against, them, but were recognised to appear as witnessss in May next, j ; ‘ | Condition of the Slave. A Methodist clergyman, who has been engaged at the Isouth and West in the cause of the Coloni zation I Society, has published his views at the North of the [institution of slavery, which is a hard nut for the Abolitionists to crack. Here is an extract from his statement: 11 1 have seen slavery in the West Indies, Vene zuela and Brazil, but nowhere have I seen it under more (modified and redeeming circumstances, all things considered, than in Missouri and Louisiana. The houses for the servants are generally good, fram ed, single story buildings, painted white, on elevated ground, with fine groves about them. They con stitute in marly instances, a beautiful little village. .The slaves are well | dressed, well led, and have everything that will add to their sociable and do mestic comfort. Missionary's preach regularly to them on the Sabbath, and many of the slaves are truly pibus: The Scriptures are also taught them by the ministers. The hours of service are less than in factories of the North! and what you may almost be tempted to doubt, I have not seen in all my travels a single case of Cruelty or unkindness from a master to a slave! There is a constant solici tude find care for their health and comfort, which is rarely seen for the Irish servants in the North, and I have 6een both master and mistress engaged in assisting at the wedding of two of their servants, and upon almost equal terms. I have seen the little children playing heartily with their sooty little friends of the cabin, without an apparent thought of being better than the other, or worse. I llave seen little or no unhappiness , among the colored people—no intemperance, profanity or va lance among these people. I have conversed with -them freely: visited them in their houses, and when laboring in the field—and my impressions are con firmed,;that slanders and falsehoods, at the north, have!been heaped upon the south, about these mat ters l| and that, too, by ministers- of the gospel.— Seriously, I would prefer being such a slave as I haveiseen at the south than such a free colored man |asT have seen at the north. I have never seen more deeply pious persons than I have found among the planters at the sputh. , Cruel and wicked is ihe warfare waged against them; by it the "Methodist church has been-divided, and : how it threatens the existence of this blessed Union 1 Believe me j when I telfi that the southern people are deeply injured and grieved by this cruel spirit at the north. I prayjtjiat itrriay cease, and its agitators return to a sober mind.” Uy-iThe free negro Law passed by the Delaware Legislature makes any free negro mulatto coming into Wat State from another, subject to a fine of sso,kiid'ih case of the nonpayment and failure of security to leave in five days, he or she is to be sold out of the State for such amount as will cover the fink and costs. These penalties also stand against any free colored person who has left the State for 60 days, and should return again, except they left as servants or seamen, or are traders from Mary land. Those of these latter classes are allowed to come into the State as usual There is a fine of $2O also against assembling at any political meet ing or treat, and $lO at any camp or outdoor meeting, except in connection with white people.— There is a penalty'also of $2OO against any com mander of a steamboat for knowingly bringing into the State any free negro or mulatto to attend a camp or other meeting. A Roman jphofhect of Wabhihotom. —ln one of Cicero’s Fragments the following remarkable sentence occurs—written some eighteen hundred, yeajsj ago:—> H Far across, the. ocean, , ,if-we may crecit the.Sibyline books, and after in any ages, an extensive and rich country wiij be.discovered, and in i : will ..arise a hero, wno by his . counsel and armPi:WU -deliver. from the slavery by which she was oppressed. Ibis shall he do under, favorable auspices; and oh !, how much.raore ad mirable will he be than our Brutus and Camillus! Thisejpredictions were knoWii to our Accius, and embellished with the ornament of poetry ” iCan any cine .doubt the allusion here to our country and our! Washington? v - Narrative of a Fire on a Chinese River. The missionary reports from China as quoted in the Kolmische Zeitung describe the terrible ravages of a fire which; took place ,on the Ist of Janurry, 1848, at Houquang, during the prevalence ofan inundation. The JVjtime translates some portions of the account. The, fire, which broke out among the shipping, was of unparalleled horror. In order to form an idea of it, we must imagine the scene of its devastations. -Along the shore of the Ki-ang, for tjie distance of several miles, so many vessels , are usually iying at anchor that- when seen from the. opposite bank they,resemble a thick forest, but regarded from a nearpoint they look like an illim-- litable, populous city floatihg upon the water. At a still greater distance, though not so crowded to gether, many other vessels lie at the same anchor ing ground. The whole forms a long harbor ex tending many miles, filled with an immense number of ships, and presenting a spectacle of, which no one who has not seqn it can form.a conception. On the.night in question a furious gale struck this multitudinous, fleet, and in the. confusion that ensued one of the vessels was- found to be on fire. Increased at once by the wind, and fed by the tar and other combustible material: withwhich a great number of the vessels, were loaded, the fira spread like 'lightning to the neighboring vessels. The violence ; of the storm-and of; the fire parted; the cables which had thus tar confined the bnrning ships. Scattered by the raging.hurrihane in every direction, these 1 every where spread devastation, turning into flame- whatever they touched,, and kindling the devouring fire in a moment' in the other vessels. In the midst of .this terrible sea of fire were heard theskrieks and, groans of an im mense number of men, who, given over to despair, tossed by the storm, pursued by the flames and encompassed by the raging waves, were burned to a crisp by the fire, or swallowed up in the wild abyss of the stream. The Ki-ang, for a great distance, resembled 1 a sea 'of fire, and in the space of three hours all the Ves sels, with the unhappy men on board, miserably perished. It is agreed on all hands that the number of vessels, according to a moderate estimate, amounted to more than three thousand. The Chi nese boats, as is well known, even the smallest, are inhabited by the family of the captain,'together with the crew. Indeed, there are whole households, whose members are born on board, where they live and. die without knowing to what country they belong. They come into the world wherever the floating abode of their parents happens to be found. Among the vessels burned were several large ships. Many of them contained forty to fifty and sixty persons. The bodies, mutilated and disfigured by the fire, which were drawn out of the stream, amounted to sixty thousand. These vessels were loaded with freight, and belonged to Chinese from different provinces. • This may show the great loss and generalbe reavement caused by the fire. Such a terrible conflagration was never known, we will not say in China, but even in the world. As a native from Ham-yan-les was viewing the scene of desolation, he was so impressed with the number of victims, that he ordered at his own cost ten thousand coffins, for the interment of the bodies, which could be afforded for five or six francs. This sum is paid by the poor for their coffins; usually they cost them from thirty to forty francs, and the rich pay several thousands, for the poor idolaters imagine that the more is done for the body the < better it will be with the soul.
