 Lynch LGw.--A little ragged rascal or fellow, about ten years old. went yesterday, into shop in Hester street, when the owner owner was Ont after pail of water, and stoie small, box containing pennies, with which he nov. ed off. The owner seeing him g" out, md missing his box, gave chase alter the poy' who, throwing the empty bOx over fence. fled with the utmost celerily, but was Oyer-l hauled, and twenty-one ppDnies found in his pocket, and he taken io the police office, cry
 ing as loud as he could bawl. The oWner not wishing to imprson.him. wished to have
 him frightened into honesty; and one 0f the. officers, in shis mischievous way, getting a raw hide. asked the boy if he would rather go to jail or he fogged. He decided at once in favor of the fugging. and he was asked how many ldshes he would have, and: whether he would stand forty. As.the upiiit- ed whip was brandished over his head, he said he wOuld not stand SO many, and finally set tied down to six, which he was willing tO re- ceive, well laid on, and screwed up his cour- age to receive them, crying and trembling all theFtime. After sufficiently frightening the little rascal, he was permitted to go home on his promise to steal no more under the pen aIty of Imprisonment and the house of re- fuge. He soon scampered off as fast as. he could, happy to escape the terrific fagela- ton of the raw hide, and the fancied horrors of Lynch's Iaw.-N. Y. pager.

 {. In answer to this. inquiry. we feel bound to say, although we would have preferred tO omit it, that the popular feeling was very ,hosi tile towards the men against whom the, acts of outrage were directed, and although very. many disapproved of the violation ofthe law, they were not disposed to incur any risk in attempting to project the property .of those. individuals; 1; Sz with regard to those Nho were disposed fo exert their efforts to. suppfess the riot, the want of organization prevented their. being able to so with, any great p.ospect of success. WhcD the property of the Mayor. was destroyed, and others were tbreatrned, there was such rcynision in public serti
 
 ed to arrest the progress of the mischief, and when neasures were adapted to effect pro ; per organization. force sufficient th put down all disorder. was very soon obtained. The force is still keptuP, and the public peace is completely maintained. 5tf Ef

 E" Much more in our humble opinion, has been said in the newspapers about contem-. plated insurrection amongst the negroes in Mississippi, than was necessary. 1t has been as embracing. great extent of I country, and involving a great portion of our slave population. A stranger would suppose from perusai of the published acconnts, that ! lhe whole white population of the State had narrowly escaped massacre and death. by the l rising of savage and inllriated blacks.
