We have no language in which TO char
acterize our detestation of the acts OF
cruelty and murder, which we are now
called upon to record-and which for cold
bloodel atrocity, are unequaled IN
the annals of Lynch Law, or in the tradI-
of the most ferocinus savageslot the coun-
try. Our statement is derived from brief
conversation with one Of theBallic, c,arriVed

details may be looked for in few days
1t seems that the SECTION Of country a.
bove and below the mouth of white Riv.
er, on the Mississippi, has been for years
infested with gangs of Gamblers aud
Counterfeiters. Islands CT, 63 and CD
we're notorious resorts for them. The
people of Couhoma county, Mississippi,
and from the opposite side Of the river,
determined to rid themselves Of such
pests; and our information is, that they
succeeded in capturing from 50 to Is OF
them. On the Sd Of August, they pac.
ed them on board a trading boat, took her
to an unfrequented place so that their
might be nu witnesses, and shot and
drOwncd them all! A portion, Of the
names Of the sufferers have been furn
shed to us. They are-tlugh FULLY,
the chief Of the gang, EIaphus Kingston,
'Andrew McLogblia, Joe Cotton, Hugh
Norris, Joseph Merriott, Wells Pollock
and James M1cauley.
When the Baltic passed up,the citizens
were on their way down the river, enga.
ged in the Iacdable pork IF burning the
houses lately occupied by the victims OF
their vengeance. No violence was offer
ed ia the families who were in them, but
! they were orde red to leave their homes
forever,

the Counterfeitng establishment wa'
found in the river at Columbia, dead.
All the implements OF rascality wert
found about the premises of the murder
