As the infor itii-ii was authentic, there was no time to be lost the part of Gen. Walker in making ready to rc : ulse the enemy. By daylight on the Bth Inst., a : r e of live hundred men, including one hundred .itive troops, were on the march from Grenada to gage the presumptuous invader. Gen. Walker, ::i person, was at the head of the army. The force :'h r his command encamped the night of the th, within nine miles of Rivas, and in the mean tie it had been ascertained beyond doubt that the tv was held and fortilied by two thousand Costa .lean.-, and Chanorietas. Early on the morning of :atf 11th the march was resumed, with the prospect ! cad of a lively engagement. Evidently to the I s irpi ise of the enemy, the Democratic force, in e...td of entering the city by the usual route from I -cnada. came in by the road leading from San j or Virgin Bay. The troops without halting, were assigned their respective positions, and instructed as to appro bate points of attack. The battalion under com- I ...and of Col. Sanders, was ordered to enter by the street leading along the West side of the Plaza, rati the East side was to be charged by the fort e ider command of Col. Fry. With a "whoop and »veil, a rush was made for the Plaza, and as the , troops were discovered by the enemy ascending . eminence which concealed the approach to the -:jv, they were saluted with a volley of musketry, which gave indication of a firm and obstinate re . canoe. On both sides of the Plaza a brisk and j . ■ L --.nt firing was kept up by the enemy, but the 1 f grless and undaunted force's of the Democracy .urged them with such rapidity, that in less j ;;ian live minutes the Americans were in entire .....i ii of the Plaza. The Costa Ricans shun-! r ,tn open attack, precipitately betook them-: . v-s to the barricades and fortressed houses, and 1 ; ■ :i their places of protection and concealment, :. iuued an unremitting tire. Their cannon, too, •aii thundering voice, gave testimony of the efh deucy of the preparations for defence. To pro- j ■hi the destruction that must inevitably ensue i fr.ini so fatal an engine of war, the determination j instantly formed and carried into execution by Lieut. Colonel Sanders, of taking it from the pos session of the enemy. The order to charge was given, and the gallant : 1 n-1, followed by his intrepid soldiers, rushed, -edless of peril, into the face of daugcr, and, with ... p.ss of four men only, succeeded in capturing fiat essential weapon of war. It was immediately brought and stationed at the north-east corner of ilie plaza, ami placed under the control of Capt. M -Cardie, a most excellent and intrepid artillerist. The ammunition belonging to it was also seized, aula few minutes only elapsed before the weapon that was destined for the destruction of the Demo niac forces, was pouring a fatal fire upon the Cos ta Kicans. Enraged at the loss of their gun, they made several hold attempts to repossess it; but its thundering tone, rapidly followed by the deadly : - barges of the Mississippi ride, intimidated their endeavors, and drove them to their place of meat. In the meantime, fifteen or twenty icicic-u stationed themselves on thereof ofabuihi z. l'r uu which they could plainly discern a large •Tv of the enemy on the back street. A contiuu i' lire was kept up by these gallant fellows, and at least a hundred of the enemy fell from their destructive aim. The conflict became too fierce tic tbe enemy, and three hundred of them were d - Treed making their rapid retreat in the direc ti >n of San Juan del Stir. Following the retreat of ii —c. about 12 o’clock, the enemy received a rein • . 'lit of two hundred and fifty men from Vir gin Bay. Capt. Waters, of the Rangers, who held —v.oa of the tower surmounting the unfinished dral on the North side of the plaza, immedi ately communicated to Gen. Walker information • f their approach, and a body of men was sent t>> protect that portion of the town. In the mean- j Captain Waters and his Rangers, from their convenient : osition, opened upon them with their rides, and did most signal execution. The intention of the enemy of surrounding the \ city and hemming in Walker's forces in the Plaza, ■'as -.mvarted With the most gratifying success. Tie North-west corner was held by Col. Don Bru- j no Natzmer and Maj. O’Neill, with their command, and over a hundred dead bodies of the cnemv gave signal proof of the gallantry of these officers, and >ht intrepidity of their men. The South-west cor n-T was in charge of Captains liudler and Mason, "eh their companies, and that with the exception 1 ; the position held by Lieut. Col. Sanders, was : the one from which the greatest danger was to be j apprehended. These brave officers and their brave men maintained their ground against a concealed with a firmness and courage deserving of the highest commendation. Some of our noblest spirits, in the exhibition of this point of feeling j and undaunted courage, fell martyrs in the cause of Democrary. Among them, it should not bo deemed invidious to mention Lieut. Morgan, of Ben. Walker’s stall', and Lieut. Doyle, of the ar my. men of as sterling heroism and as true hearts as ever Belonged to humanity. From three cor ners of the Plaza a constant tire was maintained from 8 o'clock in the morning until noon. Four >urs of unremitting service in the field, following a tedious march of more than two days, had neces sarily the effect of burdening the energies of the . soldiers with irresistible fatigue. The enemy, too, seemed to have become weary of the fight, and lit tle firing for an hour was done on either side, ex eept bv sharp shooters, adventuring chances at long distances. The temporary cessation of hostilities bv the enemy was discovered to be a ruse for the purpose of secretly possessing themselves of the building »n the North-east corner of the Plaza, where, mr -I.armed,.armed, they could pour a destructive fire upon the American troops stationed in every direction upon the Plaza. This stratagem of the enemy was discovered by Lt. Gav, and communicated by him to General Walker. Ten true and fearless men, armed with rifles and Colt s revolvers, were all that were required to dispossess the enemy of their position. They were composed of Capts. Ronton and Sutter, of Walker’s stuff*; tail. Kewan, Major llodges. Major Webber, Captains Becker - hi Mge and Mahon; Lts. Winter, Stith and Gav. A f#w privates joined, making the number tliir teen. Crossing the street under fire, they pressed through the corner of ihe building that tv as sought to be possessed by the enemy, to the far end of the corridor, which was partially barricaded by an ■adobe wall or breastwork. Front that position they cautiously surveyed the enemy, and hastily de termining the pluu of operations, the order to •'Large was given, and with a yell an>l a bound mov rushed in the direction of the picket-fence, behind which the enemy were cautiously making progress. The veil was immediately responded to hv a roll of thirty guns, but as the attack was so '•tdden, the disconcerted foe were unable to aim "i . precision, and the only damage effected was a ■ gh; wound inflicted upon thej hand of Captain litezkeuridge, not interfering at all with his pros ecuting the charge. The fence was gained with it loss, and thence a brisk tire opened upon the enemy. They fled for protection behind a neigh boring building, whence with more security they <'uld prevent pursuit. Ii was necessary, however, that they should be driven entirely from that vi •dairy; and in order to get a position to effect that "hjv pit was necessary to cross a street exposed t > the enemy’s tire. L was a hazardous experiment, as the opposi -1 oil force was ascertained to be more than a faun !r’-d strung. Nothing daunted, however, the tliir m >-.iyed the perilous adventure, and although v bullets whistled in fearful proximity to them, ’t a man was touched.

The light on the Plaza had almost ceased, and during the dav and night there was little firing, except tv a few' of the cne m.y around, with Minnie rifles, firing from conceal ed p aces. The possessors of these weapons were Englishmen and Germans, who had lon«- exne i ITJZ t ! lU,r , USe ; p' e majority of the Americans fi 11 at the hands of these foreign miscreants, who I have allied themselves with servilism against the i liberal par;y of Central America. • riS r> ® ° { , *l™’ the seconJ fought in that , I city by Genei al \\ alker, was warmly contested. 1 he struggle was a long and arduous 'one, and the ! Liberals were compelled to fight at every disad- ‘ vantage. 1 iie Costa Ricans lost six hundred men. The : eailv reti eat of three hundred, and the subsequent almost entire abandonment of Rivas, are sufficient j judications of their defeat. The American loss does not exceed thirty, and the wounded is the same. Take it all jin all, the conflict at Rivas cannot but be regarded as a glorious victory. We have i lost indeed, some good and gallant men, but their • deaths have been atoned for in the blood of mimer- I ous sacrifices. The enemy are disheartened at their defeat; and j although they have again returned to the field ot 1 their disaster, they are impoverished of zeal, and j destitute of confidence. Information was communicated to the Minister of the United States at Nicaragua, that the Costa Kicans had shot down quiet citizens of the United States, and committed depredations upon the prop erty of our citizens, which induced the followin'* communication ; Legation of the United States, 1 Republic of Nicaragua. j Grenada, April 15, 1856. Sir : The enclosed statementstshows me a state of facts which you are already aware of; that on the 7th inst., unarmed and inoffensive citizens of the United States were cruelly butchered at Virgin Bay. by* the troops under your immediate com maud. I have also seen your proclamation, that all persons taken with arms in their hands shall he shot; and another, that all American citizens .hall be immediately driven out of Costa Rica. To prove the sincerity of your first proclamation, you append a list of persons who were taken prisoners 1 at St. Rosa, and shot on the 25tli of March. Among 1 them I find the names of Isaac A. Rose and John j J. Gidin, natives of the United States. I have no right, and certainly no disposition, to interfere in any way with the unhappy war. now raging between two entire Republics; but it is my right, as well as ntv duty, to inform vou, as the i Chief Magistrate of Cosia Rica, that'the acts of murdering in cold blood unarmed American citi zens. who are in nowise connected with any belli gerent act, or party, is an offence against the law »f God, of humanity, and of nations. This offence is no less aggravated by the fact, that those who committed so wanton an outrage, were under your immediate command. That you were on' the ground, and did not prevent it,'as it was in vour power to do. I would remind you of the letter of Mr. Molena, the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten ; tiary of our government', dated Washington, 13tl> December, 1854, to the Secretary of State of the United States, wherein he states' that “the laws of Costa Rica are exceedingly liberal (on the subject of granting lauds,) and ottered great facilities to emigrants who would come to Costa Rica and fix ■ their residence there.” The treaty between the United States and Costa Rica, made tn 1851, in the . 12th article, guarantees to citizens of the United States residing in Costa Rica, in their persons and property, the protection of your government. Under these inducements and guaranties citi zens of the l nited States have Come and settled. N\ hat excuse can be offered, or how will you ap pear iu the eyes of the world, when you publish a proclamation expelling these same persons without being guilty of any crime, and murdering them without mercy? In the name ol'the United States and of the Government thereof, 1 protest against such infamous conduct; and be assured, sir, that the Government of the United States, aided as vou may be by invidious and powerful allies, will in quire into such acts of lawless violence, and if un explained and unatoned for, will take decided measures to protect the lives of our citizens and vindicate 1 lie honor of the nation. Rumors have also reached me that some four teen or eighteen citizeus, four ladies, (one with an infant,) were recently murdered by some troops a: \ irgin Bay. lam slow to believe so diabolical an outrage. John B. Sawlen, Esq., the bearer of this, is instructed to inquire, in the name of the United States, for this legation, into the facts touching this rumor. I send him with niv flag with this des patch, and i pray that you give hint u conduct through your lines, and a prompt reply to Your obedient servant, J. li. Wheeler, Minister of U. S. A. To his Excellency, J. R. Mora, President of Re public of Costa Rica, in Camp at Rivas, Nica ragua. From the Carolina Tunes, April 26. The Execution. Yesterday, about ten o’clock, n crowd of all ages, sexes and colors, began to assemble near the jail, ■ in earnest expectation of seeing the prisoner, Me- j Combs, enter the carriage prepared to convey him to the place of execution. At ten minutes after twelve o’clock, the prisoner left the jail, accompu ' nied bv his spiritual advisers and the chief of po lice. The carriage was surrounded by a detach ment from the beat companies, under command of Lieut. Wood. Soon after arriving at the place of execution, permission was given by the Sheriff to those who desired to speak with the prisoner, to come forward and bid him farewell. Several per sons availed themselves of the invitation, and took an affecting farewell of the unfortunate man. He was deeply moved and extremely pale, and appear - 1 ed to feel sensibly his awful situation. After rc moving his coat, shoes atid neckerchief, he mount ed the scaffold deliberately, and the rope being ad i justed, at a given signal the bolt was withdrawn . and the drop fell. Unfortunately, the rope was insufficient to sustain the weight of the doomed man; it parted, and he fell to the ground. We have he n informed, from good authority, that hi neck was dislocated. Instantly the Sheriff des cended from the scaffold where he had been stand ; ing, and with the aid of two police officers and a servant, raised the condemned man up again, re adjusted the rope, after which the support was struck away, and he remained suspended from the gallows. At five minutes before two o’clock, his bodv was cut down and handed over to his friends, an attending physician having first declared that life was extinct. Thus ended the life of this unfor tunate man, who, giving wav to the love of strong drink, had, in a moment of excitement, shot down a city marshal, who, in the discharge of his duty, was endeavoring to preserve the peace. We might here add, that previously to the exe cution, the strength of the. rope was tested by the Sheriff, and he considered it amply sufficient t>> bear the weight of tho prisoner. A portion of the ! rope used on the occasion lias since been submit ted to our inspection ; it is three quarter inch, and firmly twisted, and we would have judged it suffi ciently strong to sustain a body of twice the weight attached to it. But the result proved unfortunate, and gave great pain to the officers and spectators. After he came to the ground lie was unable to stand, and was doubtless insensible to pain, al j though when he was again raised to the scaffold he was distinctly heard to articulate ‘‘Oh 1 Lord 1 The duties of the Sheriff were faithfully and ; promptly performed by himself without the assist ance of hired aid, reflecting credit upon the officer. This execution, as was intended by the law, should avt as a serious warning to others ; and, as we remarked yesterday, we trust all who are in the habit of using intoxicating liquors to excess, and 1 carrying deadly weapons, will henceforward re t frain from both practices, and become good law s i abiding citizens.

The steamship Charles Morgan, Captain Place j arrived this morning from San Juan de Nicara gua. The Charles Morgan brings as passengers from »an Juan, Captain D. W. Thorpe, N. A. and F Matthews. : We have received a very interesting letter from! j 0,,r special correspondent’, which we subjoin. We i ilr e enabled as yet to atld but little of general in- I formation or reports to it. San Juan del Norte, April 19, 1856. j The Nicaragua passengers brought bv the i j Charles Morgan, formed themselves into a sort of 1 military organization and went up the river last : night under the command of Captain Moncasos, |of the Nicaraguan army. Atnt ng his lieutenants 1 a brother of Gen. Walker, who was one of the 1 i passengers. General Hornsby, the second in com- j I man tl of the Nicarauguau armv, also accompanied i them. A party of Gen. Walker’s men, some thirty in • number, left here yesterday on a little schooner bound to Key West. Among them is Capt. Thorpe, of New Orleans, and Captain Creighton, of New I York. The news we receive here is very unfavorable to Walker and his cause, but as every one in this j place is opposed to him and his policy, perhaps j the account must be taken with some considerable ; allowance. What appears to be certain is, that i the Nicaraguan forces which marched into Costa j Rica under Col. Schlessinger, have been badly ! routed, and that, too, in the most disgraceful inan- I ner; and all agree in throwing the blame on j Schlessinger. I give the most circumstantial ae- i count of the affair I have yet heard. Schlessinger, at the head of about three linn- i , dred men marched into Costa Rica, with the in- J tentiou of attacking Guunacaste, a town of six or 1 eight thousand inhabitants, about sixty miles from ! Lake Nicaragua. On the morning of the 2oth tilt, t he arrived within eight miles of the town and en camped on a slight eminence, with open ground 1 and dense thickets behind and on each side of ■ him. He threw out a picket guard in front, but I i left his flanks and rear entirely unprotected. j 1 About three o’clock that afternoon, while the 1 men were busied in getting water, sleeping, Ac., ! t with their arms stacked, the camp was suddenly ; attacked by about five hundred Costa Ricans, who j t approached on both flanks and met in front. Schles- ’ singer, it is said, was asleep, but as soon as the | 1 alarm was given, the Captains formed their com- j t panics as soon as possible, and presented an ini- j t posing front to the enemy. The command con- : . sisted of one French and one German company, a t New Orleans company, under Capt. Thorpe, a New York company under Capt. Creighton, and Capt. 1 A. F. Rudler’s company of Voltigenrs. The three i latter companies exchanged shots with the enemy, t and looked round sot their »tnmander, to receive t his orders. Whs; m is' i-. •• been their surprise ; and horror to re lido at, running 1 on toot, and f > and French c companies, i.i , . gallant young fellow nano : O’.x to intercept the j 1 cowardly .command -ua radv the fugitives. The i 1 panic soon communicated to tfi. others, who pro- ! \ tiably saw the futility id their continuing the cum- . t bat against such a superior force, and they also i a broke and ran, the whole command being tints i scattered and at the mercy of the pursuing foe. t The loss of the Nicaraguans is not yet known, a but when mv informant left Virgin Bay the men were straggling in by twos and threes, and ninety t were still missing. Schlessinger had been arrested, 1 and was being tried by court martial tit last ae- l counts, on two charges, of treason and cowardice. J The first charge is based upon the supposition that t when he was sent into Costa Rica, some months e since, as Envoy from Nicaragua, he concerted f measures with tin* Costa Rican Government to be- t tray the Nicaraguans. This charge will probablv n not be sustained, but that of cowardice undoubtedly v will be, and none who know Walker's firmness i and determination doubt that he will be shot. * tin Wednesday last, the 9th inst., a party of Walker’s men, seventeen in number, attacked a large party of Costa Ricans at a place on the San Juan river called Serapiqui, and although seven of them runaway at the first fire, the other ten re mained and achieved a complete victory. This has raised the spirits of the Walker party, and it is still thought by them that he will rally his forces and come cut right side up. lie evidently posses ses a hold upon his followers that is not to be I shaken by ordinary circumstances. | v The last intelligence we have from Walker is, j that he was at the head of about seven hundred men, and was at or near Virgin Bay, with a the intention of meeting the Costa Ricans, who t were reported to be on the march into Nicaragua. \ a Col. Barker 11. French, tbe late Minister to the ! L United States, came down the river a few days j 1 since, in high dudgeon with Walker, and charter- j ed a schooner to convey him to Aspinwali. lie : took with him the type and other printing mate- 1 t rials which he recently purchased in New Orleans, 1 and was accompanied bv George Wilkes, of Ah- 1 tionul Police Ga-ett> celebrity. The nature of the quarrel between him and Gen. Walker Inis not j transpired. t v It is rumored here that the States of Honduras, ;l San Salvador and Guatemala are preparing their • forces to invade Nicaragua and co-opcrute with the I * Costa Ricans, but I can hear of no reliable ground 1 for the assertion. * Col. Kinney is the magnate of this town, and ■ r dispenses fits hospitality in the same generous j c manner he was accustomed to do in Corpus Christi. • As wo were coining in yesterday evening, we | :l met a schooner three or four miles the other side * of the bar, which proved to be the one nientioned i 11 above, containing the men formerly attached to Walker’s army. With two or three exceptions ; « these mun came down here perfectly destitute, and were only enabled to charter the schooner by sub- j s script-ions raised among the citizens of this place. When they saw our steamer coming in, several of the passengers requested to be put cm shore, in tending to return home on the steamer. Among them were Capts. Thorpe and Creighton, the for- n mer of whom has resigned his position in Wal ker’s arniv in consequence of ill-health. He was " brought down from Virgin Bayou a cot, and was tended with great care and kindness by Colonel :l Kinney until he was sufficiently well to start for | home. J P. S. — Since writing the above, 1 have received I i an account of the battle ol’ Santa Rosa, in Costa | •' Rica, front a gentleman who was in Virgin Bay j when the defeated troops arrived. Ii appears that | from the start, both officers and men were nnwil- 1 ling to inarch under Schlessinger'* command. His I antecedents were such as caused them to look upon ? him with distrust, which the result fully justified. * His march was marked by a want of military knowledge at every step, and at the time he was surprised, although he knew that, he was within a few miles of the town which it was publicly an nounced lie intended to attack, yet he took no pi e- t caution, and had sent out a number of foraging parties in different directions. When he started to retreat, the companies of Capts. Thorpe, Creigh ton and Rudler, occupied advantageous positions, and had they been adequately supported, would no c doubt have expelled the enemy, and made them j • pay doarlv for their temerity in making the attack. ! < When Schlessinger made the fit s;, move for a re- j treat, he called out something in French »*> the j French company, and they immediately ran off after hint. Capt. Thorpe, seeing the movement, supposed that Schlessinger was about to take the enemy in t flank, and hastily drew off a portion of his tom- 1 maud to assist iu the attack. But when he found : that the others wi re retreating, he ran up to Schles- ! singer, who was in the lead, and placing a pistol ; to itis head, ordered him to halt on pain of instant : death. This brought the party to a stand, but. on ly for an instant, for soon the cry arose that the . euemv were coming, and off they went again in rapid flight, in spite of the entreaties and threats I 1 of Major O’Neill and Capt. Thorpe. The latter i then returned to his comm end, which was com posed of New O. la. >ys nd which suffered severely in kill 11. and Capt. Creighton, who It mpanv from New York, then form ,nl being joined by Capt. Rudler, re . rder, covering the rear of the flying ecu- ; is. Tttey were six days in reaching the shot* i' Lake Nicaragua, during ! which time they partook of bn; one meal. Among the killed in Capt. Thorpe’s company, I regret to state, was young Gray sou, a son of .Mr. W. I’. Grayson, cashier of the Bunk of New Orleans. He : died fighting gallantly. On tbe retreat, Selilessinger told them that he \ had no more commands to give, and that every j man must take care of his own life. But the Cap- j tains resolved to keep their men together, and 1 when lie ordered them to halt they refused to obey j j him, for which he arrested them as soon as they ; I arrived on the shores of the Lake. He hoped to r see Walker first and tell his own story, but in this i he was disappointed, some soldiers having got in j ( ahead of him and told the tale of their disgraceful I defeat and its cause. He was therefore arrested as ; soon as he arrived. U. ('. j Adventures of M. Walewski. — A Paris letter gives the following curious history, which serves to exemplify the strange ups and downs ot the j 1 lives of public men in France. In IS3I, M. de j i Walewski, up to the neck in the Polish revolution, was delegated from the poles to the French nation, j lie passed by Berlin, where he escaped narrowly : with his liberty and life; for, had he been seized ' j and given over to the Russian government, lie j would have been executed in reality, as he was shortly afterwards in effigy. But the chief of the | , police in Berlin at that time was M. de Manteuffel; ; 1 | and the archives of more than one Prussian town 1 1 possess to this day a document in which it is by ] him recommended to the authorities to arrest, by all possible means, “an adventurer styling himself Walewski, and pretending himself 'delegated by the Polish to the French nation.” This was the last transaction in which were brought into juxta , position the two tnen who have now been called t upon to discuss the treaty of peace, as Prussian j j plenipotentiary and French minister of foreign as- i ; fairs. ; BoscHA.the Harpist, who died in Australia on the .th of January, was a native of Bohemia and about eighty years of age. lle was a composer of considerable ability ; the author of several operas and officiated as orchestral leader for I> VST \ M ,u' m>.AV, Soxtao, and others of the great musical j stars, and in that sphere he was deemed bv Kox tao and Rabini a perfect master. Durum his ca reer in France, Italy and Germany, he was the in ! timate friend of the composers, Bellini Do.vi ; zette, and others, and taught the harp to the Em i press Josephine, at Fontainbleau, and also to the Empress Maria Louise. In London he led the orchestra at the opera House, and was the founder ,of the Royal Academy of Music. It is believed he died quite wealthy, as his last tour through the : United States and Mexico, with Madame Bishop was attended with much success. lie fell a vic tim to dropsy and ossification of the heart, at the residence of Madame Bishop, in Sidney. Parrots in lowa.—lt is said that numbers of parrots resort annually to Decatur countv, lowa and are some times seen in flocks of twenty and even more. Three of these birds were shot one week during the late cold spell. Tliev are about the size of the common tame pigeon, though not quite so large round ; their tails shorter, their plu mage is green, tinged on the back with blue; their ! wing feathers are red and yellow, and the bill and I tongue are the same as in all parrots. It is rather j surprising to find these birds so far North and feci- ■ ing so much at home. Murder in Crittenden County, Ark. The Memphis Whitt, of Friday last, says: On Tuesday last, a man by the name of Jenkins who resided within four miles of Marion, Critten- I den county. Ark., was waylaid mil shot from his ! horse while riding within three hundred yards of his residence. Two men. one by the name of Gar- i rett, who formerly resided in Sou h Memphis, and ! anothei by the name of Hendri -ks, vho did btisi- • ness in Marion, have been arrested on suspicion. They were examined day before vi- rday before three magistrates, who committed them to jail without bail. Circumstances were very strong against Hendricks. Some four or live days ago Jenkins told Hendricks that he intended to'prose cute him for stealing liis hogs, and putting his i Hendrick’s ) brand upon them. The next day Hendricks borrowed a pistol, and took his gun with the avowed intention of going him ing. T1 : afternoon Jenkins was found by th ; sm-u I partly in the water, pierced through • im, . and a bullet hole through him. The ;suil nuts have been placed directly against his bodv, as his clothes were on fire at the time he was found. Several persons stationed theuis Ives around Hendrick’s house to arrest him when be came home. He did not come in until about midnight, when, as he entered the door, some one asked hint what luck he had. He replied, “Damn bad —l shot a turkey and he fell in the water.” He was imme diately arrested. Yesterday morning the excite ment in Marion was intense. A large mob had assembled and demanded the keys of the jail of Sheriff Crump, avowing their intention of hang ing Hendricks. Crump replied that the Deputy had them. They applied to the Deputy with no better success ; and at the time our informant left Marion yesterday evening, the mob were supplying themselves with crowbars, and the Sheriff express ed Ins opinion that he could not prevent the mob from hanging him ; that nine men out of every ten he summoned to his assistance were in favor of the hanging, and that he believed Hendricks would be lning before night fall, and that the mob, in its fury, might also sacrifice Garrett. < X >M M E RCIAI River News.

It allays the most intense pains iu a few j minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water, ! and tints cures stiff joints ; it penetrates the flesh j to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu matism and palsied limbs of twenty years’ stand- ! ing ; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of the glands, and is the best medicine for ailments j of cattle ever discovered, curing sweeny, spavins, ‘ splint, and all diseases which require an internal application. Sun ruins "f ten years’ standing cured by 11. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Mr. 11. G. Farrell— Dear Sir: 1 had been af flicted with the “Sun Pain ” for the last ten years, and could never get relief except by bleeding; but i by the use of H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, j ! applied over the temples about three or four times ! i a day, it was entirely removed, and I have felt nothing of it since. I went into the stable one I night, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being very lame lie stumbled and fell against my legs, crushing and bruising them so badly that they turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless. I applied your Liniment, and was well enough iu a few days to go abour again as usual. I also crushed at;. 5 rin a shocking manner, by letting a back ■ 2 ’ , mon it; vour Liniment soon healed it up, thou,; a. * ' JOHN 15. M’GEE.

Farreii’s Arabian Liniment has cured j some bad cases here, which every other remedy 1 had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con tracted cord: in the leg of a bov twelve years old. The leg had withered away, and was so contracted that he had no use of it. Three doctors had tried their skill upon it in vain, und he was fast sinking to the gram-, when the boy’s father was induced to :rv 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before the first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store, and the first words he said were, “Mr. Barker, I want till that Liniment you have in the store; the one bottle 1 got did my boy more good than all that had ever been done before.” That boy is now well and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings. Look oat for Counterfeits ! | The public are cautioned against another coun j terfeit, which lias lately made its appearance, called | \Y.

In \ I it is combined every thing that 1 could wish in a ■ Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest and the best that has ever been offered to the pub lic. 1 speak from having used it with mv own hands. I was raised to follow the plow, and think that 1 know how one ought to run. 1 would cheer fully thank any one, who will thoroughly trv it, to point out to me one single fault in it. It is' easier upon the horse and the plowman than am* that I have ever used. The principle upon which you regulate the depth 1 of the Plow is so simple, and yet so perfect, as to 1 commend itself to any one; and the Stock is adapt ed to any kind of Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, just as fight as any could desire it to be. I would re commend to any and all, if they wish the best and cheapest Plow Stock, without hesitation to get Mr. James B. Mill's. 1). W.
