explanation, which could not be given of
course, and they were ordered to rise and
follow them. The loafers, like all other
sinners, could not be made sensible of
their danger, and plead for ssmorc con-

The whole transaction above recorded,
is a bad business, and we are extremely
sorry it occurred. It seems to have been
conducted on wrong principles from the
start. If the premises were beyond the
Line, neither the justice or any other Off
Ger had any jurisdiction in the case. liz
they were within the limits Of the county
then the justice, upon well grounded
appeal, had no right to reissue the writ,

MYSTERIOUS CccunRENcR.-The Nes
Orleans Picayune of the 18th inst, pub
fishes the following tale, which, if true
is stranger than any fiction.
Of all the mysterious occurrences nov
going the rounds of the country pres;
the following is the strongest. We gath
er the account from the last Republicsa
published at Jackson, in this state, the
editor of which appears to have got haN |
of it in roundabout way. A lady MI
Jackson received letter from a female
friend communicating a train of evens
which occurred in one of the southern
counties of Mississippi, near her re-.
idence. We give the story pretty much
as we find it, leaving our readers to make
their own comments. All that we can
say is, that if the story be true, it is very
singular that we never heard of it belos
The sheriff of the above county recent
ly received, in his official capacity, some
fifteen or twenty thousand dollors. Be-
ing called from home day or two, as he
said, he placed this money in the sale
keeping of his wife. Late in the even.
ing of the day her husband left, strange
gentleman called upon her for nights
lodging. After some little hesitation she
allowed him to remain, and gave him The
room where the large sum of money vs|
left. About midnight three black men
as the wife supposed, called upon her6r
the money. Believing it her duty, VI
give it up she went to the room for III
where she found the stranger up and load
his pistols. He had been awakened BY
the noise and had overheard most Of The
conversation between his hostess and The
robbers. Telling the lady to be of good
heart, he gave her loaded pistol and in
structed her to go out and present th
money to one of the robbers and to shocI
the fellow whilst in the act of doing so
on her doing which he (the strange
would be ready for the other two. Win
a GOODNESS and courage that it is difficult
to conceive in woman, she did as direct
ed, and the robber who received the mon
ey fell dead at her feet. Another instant
and the strangers bullet had foored :
second robber. The third attempted .
escape but was overtaken at the gate y
the stranger, and fell under the thrust
his knife! AS soon as practicable R
neighbors were alarmed and Oh washing
the paint from the faces of the dead ROD,
bers, the one killed by the lady proven
to be her own husband, and the other Two
couple of near neighbors
Such is the substance of the story
The editor Of the Republican states Y
comes from lady for whose credlbD.9
ne is willing to vouch. If true, it IS SUI
gular, as we said before, we never healslR
of it.

The Gazette seems very Jealous about
federalists and federalist doctrines of late.
If there was any such party as federal
party in existence, we should think there
was some reason for the publication of
the long articles that have recently appear.
ed in that paper on the subject. The old
party, by that name, is now extinct. We
know number who belonged to it, who
are now among the principal supporters
of the present Administration, and we
shall not be surprised to learn that the ia
Their of the writer of those editorial arti-
cles in the Gazette, was himself a strong
federalist. After all, we suppose most OF
them are articles thatha been new vamp.
ed, that once graced the columns of ano.
Their paper liz one of the states, and are
now introduced here to astonish the ma.
tives, and to show off the wonderful lear.
ming of the quasi or In cog. editor.
