(w, Horrible Ontri»«« ia Louisville One Neoro Prisoner Murdered in Jail—Seven Nkoeoes Have Their Ears Cut Off. We have received a letter from Jefferson county, giving the particu lars of uno of the most revolting out rages which has ever disgraced the annals of civilization: It seems that on Saturday night last a band of disguised men, who aro supposed to have boon Ku-klux, vis ited Jefferson county, and demanded the key of the jail frum the jailer, Judge Diehl. They wont to the jail, opened it, took out nine prisoners, live of whom had been previously tried and convicted, and four of whom had been committed on charges duly made. The prisoners were carried a little dis- tance from the village and whipped severely by the band, aud the oars of seven of them were cut off. They then turned these seven loose, together with one whose ears they neglected to cut. The ninth was brought hack to the jail, shot twelve times and killed.— The one killed had been committed for burning recently the gin house of Alien Brown. The name of this ne gro was Charles Butler, who former ly belonged to Dr. Dixon. One of the other negroes (Jim Stapleton) had both of his ears taken off. The people of the county —all the true men—are justly indignant at this diabolical conduct. They are deter mined to ferrett out the offenders and bring them to justice. We take the above from the Augus ta Chronicle. Such events, happen whore thoy may, are deeply to be la mented. They aro the natural fruits of a revolution that has upset the very foundations of society, and sought to reorganize it upon principles both un natural aud abhorrent. Such experi ments have never in the history of the World failed to bring disorder and crime in their train. It is a serious thing for government to drive men to the wall and tempt them into a dis play ol all the bad passions of their nature. They never act with discre tion under such circumstances, and in variably take the law into their own hands. There is no excuse lor such occurrences as that stated above, but iu most instances of the kind men do not act from a criminal motitre, how ever desperate the deed, but under a misguided judgment as to what is necessary for their own protection and security The destruction of gin-houses with the entire product of the year’s labor, by incendiaries, has become alarmingly common, and in many sec tions it is impossible to raise animal food for the support of the inhabi tants, owing to the depradations of idle and protligate negroes. The suf ferers in this case, we learn, belonged to those two classes of offenders, one an incendiary, and the rest noted as cattle and hog thieves and a pest to the surrounding country. But,‘how eve guilty, it was a great error aud crime against the law to have pun ished them thus. The law is every man’s safety, aud when set aside, gov ernment is at an end, and all society placed in peril. It is idle to talk of putting down such thiuga by the offi cers of the law, or even by the milita ry. There is but one remedy, and that is inherent in the excessos them selves.

Let us now ’ook at some of those thing's that will never Wear out. 1 have often heard a poor blind girl sweetly sing, ‘‘Kind words will never die.” Ah we believe that thase are among the things that will never wear out. And wo ar« told in God’s own book to be kind one to another, ten der hearted’ forgiving one another. The word of the Lord will never wear out. Though the grass wither, and the flowers fall away, the word of the Lord entureth forever. 1 l’etor i, 24, 25. The life of the righteous will never wear out. They will live in the world to come as long as God shall live ; but the death of the wicked will last for ever. The jovs of the kingdom of heaven will never wear out. The pleasures of this world soon die ; but the enjoy ments of that world will never end. The crown of glory will never wear out. The crown of the winner in the Olympic games soon faded ; the crowns of kings all wear out; but the crown of glory will never fade away 1 Pe ter v, 4 The ‘new song* will never wear out. We hear something that some of our tunes are worn threadbare; but that will never bo said of the new song. Which will you choose ? The lasting or that which wastes away ? The thing of time,or of eternity ? Will you choose wealth, honor, fame or the joys of heaven, eternal life, the crown ol glory, and the ‘new song ?’ May God enable us to mako a wise choice, and with Joshua, may we choose to serve the Lord.— Christian Treasury Baltimore sold $3,000,000 worth of candies last year A white girl eloped with a negro in Eufaula, Ala., on the night of the sth instant.

Says the American Builder: An old man living not a thousand miles from Washington, delights jn nothing so much as tolling anecdotes of pionoer life, to the people in the town where they reside, and though his stories are not always distinctly true, he tells them with an air of truth that his hearers find it haid to question his racity.. On one occasion, when he had gath ered a little audience about him on a hotel stop, he was more than usually spirited in his descriptions of hunting scenes, probably for the benefit of a stranger present, who manifested no surprise whatever at anything he hoard, though he listened attentively. Our story-teller, whose name is Brown, glanced at him several times a little uneasily, but he could not gather from the expression of his face anything to epoouraga him to proceed. Not willing, however, to give him qp as a stupid fellow, ha made another attempt, and related that he had at one time killed six wolvos, with ( rifle shot, from the window of a i. j cabin in the woods, and that he h& i the six skulls at home t > prove it “I remember the place,” said th# stranger, now quite worked up “Wasn’t it about a mile from where Jack Felton’s farm is now Y” “Yes,” said Brown. “Exactly,” said the stranger, “and I want to tell a curious thing that hap pened to me in that very cabin. I was out on a hunting expedition, and some* how got separated from my company, and I stopped there all night, for it was so dark that I could not see the way to go. I baried the door and windows and felt quite safe, though I could hoar the Wolves howl on the out side.” “I’ve heard them a thousand times,'’ said Brown quite interested. “Well,” continued the stranger, *‘l slept soundly until 3 o’clock in tho morning, when I was awakened by a dozen or more wolves coming down the chimney, and, sir, do you believe me, they pulled me to pieces and ate me up in precisely two minutes —every bone in me, nothing left but my boots. “Do you moan to way that the wolves ate you all up?” said Brown, “ato you up ?” “I do, and I have tho boots at home to prove it.” “Well,” said Brown, amid the shouts of the audience, and with a curious half sold expression on his face, “all I have to say is that—that needs— proof.” Indiana Divorce. -Governor Baker, of Indiana, in his recent message, dwells at length and with great sever ity upon the facility with which citi zens of other States, after a pretended residence in Indiana, obtain divorces, and then return to their homes front which they fled for that very purpose. The laws upon which such schemes can be carriedftut, he says, are a re proach to the civilization of the age, and are in violation of the comity of sistor States. The Oovenor recomends that the cause of the statue which au thorizes divorces for any cause that the court may deem sufficient should be repealed, and that the clause mak ing cruel treatment a good cause of divorce should be so amended as to require the treamont to be cruel and inhuman, or cruel and barbarous. He also recomends certain changes in the practice in divorce cases which would render impossible the collusive oi fraudulent separationof husband and wife, aud says that with such amend ments Indiana divorce* would soon cease to be advertised in the Atlantio cities as marketable ccmmoddities.
