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 <f. om
the cluster ot blossoming vines. All,outward things
breathed peace and blessedness; and yet a few short
moments since a tempest to which the earthquake s
violence is nothing, raged within those quietj walls
—within the portals of a human heart, that now
' lay all cold and pulseless 1 and sorrowful to tell,
rendered so by its own 1 ungovernable impulse. I
entered the open door. : A fair young lady lay dead
on the sofa. Her rich hair lay in wild masses
around her marble neck and finely moulded dorm;
the long lashes drooped heavily over the [closed
eyes, and the broad open brow told that a spirit of
no common order had been ■ the inmate of its ( de
serted halls. Yet the small, delicate features were
strictly feminine, and the deep tears of sorrow] and
suffering lingered still around the chill cheqki and
lips A broken vial escaped from the palsied hand,
told him how the fatal deed had been accomplished.
The group of honest country people who stood
near, looked down with awe.and wonder, and could
not conceive how one so fair, delicate, and; rjehly
clad, could have aught of earthly sorrow, i Alas !
the rich silken robe—the jewels that shone on the
suiall snowy fingers were little regarded, by:, the
unfortunate qwner. But whq and what js ;she t ■
A stranger from a fat land, who, but a few short
days since, came to this sequestered'glen to ] seek
repose. ' . j
A scroll lay beside her, and presuming that its
contents might inform us of her history, I opened
it and read as follows: ■ - [ !

clqse knit circle fade away, and their accents .grow
cold on the approach of the pale-faced stranger.—
Yet she, too, once had friends and relatives. A
band of young sisters wreathed their soft [arms
within hers, as they sported in the .merry; spring
time on the green banks of the Vistula. hon
ored father sheltered them from evil by the Ttroad
shield of his name, and wide-spread lands, and the

A Tragedy ln c Callforiiia>^
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.

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

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

| 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.

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.
