From the Noble Register, Aug. 81.

We regret 10 record an instance of Mob
law, which took place in our city on Wednes>
day last.-The crime aud method of its pun
ishment were alike painful 10 the feelings Of
the moral and peaceable of our community.
Ii must be confessed however, that Judge
Lynch, tyrant as he is, was more than usu.
ally discriminating in the administration of
his harsh justice in The last case which came
up before him. A crime had been commit
ted, SO horrible and unnatural that our penal
code had prescribed no punishment for it

the city; and The general indignation was in.
creased when it was understood that the
guilty would probably escape, on account OF
the casus omisus Of the Law A crowd as,
sembied round the examining office, and
trouble WINS anticipated. About one o'clock
the prisoners were ordered 10 Jail, in the Gus,
tody of two constables. But unfortunately
for peace and law, they were not permitted
to get there without appearing before anoih-
er tribunal. They were taken from the Off

o. The President of the u. States

&% The President of the u. States
arrived in Staunton, on his return from
the Springs, on Thursday last, and re-.
manned until the next morning. He
was called on generally by the citizens,
without distinction of party. We are
pleased TO learn that he has been con-
siderably benefited by his sojourn a.
mong our mountains. One of his sons
was with him. They went from this
to Meyers Cave-and it is probable
proceeded thence down the valley. 1t
was stated in the Richmond Enquirer,
some days ago, that the President was
TO meet the Secretary of War, Mr.. Poin-
sett, at Harrisonburg, on the 2lst in>
slant and it seemed to be very conf,
IDENTIFY expected, from some cause, at
Winchester, that he would pass through
that place. and arrangements were made
by the town council. for his rece ption.
We understand, however, that he stated
here, it was his intention to visit the
Fauquier Springs-so that if he visits
Winchester he will have to "diverge
a little"
We doubt not the President has been
much gratified by his visit to Virginia.
Every where, SO far as we have heard
among friends aud opponents-he has
been treated with the respect due 20 his
official station. On his arrival at the
Salt Sulphur, the Tavern house and all
the cabins were handsomely illuminated
although the Proprietors, and we will
venture TO say nine tenths Of the visiters
were politically opposed to him.
A public dinner was rendered 20 him
by his friends in RockDridge, to be giv>
en- under the Natural Bridge, which he
declined.

The Upper Mississippi is said TO be
higher than it was ever before known
to be. The Palmyra Political Examin-
er OF the a5th August, in noticing this
subject, says:
owe have heard several persons phis
losophizing Oh the cause OF its rise n:
this unusual season amongst other very
learned reasons assigned, one was The
melting of the ice in the Arctic Ocean
from the immoderate heat of the present
season. 1t is stated in some of the Nor
thern papers that lake which formerly
dissorged It's waters through another
channel, from an obstruction of raft
now empties through channel which
communicates with the Mississippi. If
this be true, North river may become
navigable stream to Massie's mill. For
several days the water has been back ed
up so that steamboat might pass with
ease"

WASHINGTON, September "a.


John b. Henderson, the forger, who
has of late excited so much feeling in
this community. was brought into Court
this morning, and, being placed at the
bar, he requested Col. VIM. l.. Brent
TO ask the Court to allow him the use IF
pen. ink and paper, as he was DESTROYS
oil addressing note to Col. Brent
which had been refused him in prison
Upon which Mr.. Brent asked the Court
to permit Henderson to take seat with
in the bar, at a table, for the purpose Of
writing what he expressed wish to do.
The Court hereupon granted its permits
sion to Henderson, who, in few min.
utes, handed to Mr.. Brent a letter. in
which, we understand, the prisoner vim
dicated that gentleman from the late base
charge made against him, (of aiding
Henderson's escape from prison, declsr-
ing it to be plot got up to njure the
the high standing Of Mr.. Brent at the
Bar, and denouncing the whole matter
as false. and at the same time defending
himself against the suspicious entertained
by Mr.. Brent and the Public as to his
(Henderson's) having planned the cons
spiracy.
Soon afterwards. upon the clerks call
ling upon Henderson for the pur pose Of
arraisning him, MIR. Brent appeared as
his counsel, and demurred 10 the sew.

Tomorrow was assig ned by the Cour,
for the argument Of the demurrer.
Much curiosity was manifested in the
Court to take look at the prisoner,
whose arraignmeht to-day was altogeth-
er unexpected. John b. Henderson Is
remarkably handsome man, about
thirty years OF age. His counterance
is good, and indicates any thing rather
than propensity for crime. His de-
pertinent appears very gentlemanly and
courteous. He seemed 10 be free from
agitation, and wrote the letter 10 MIR.
