Trouble at Memphis.

serious dlfflcultles occurred at Memphis,
IeDn, on the lst. inst, which resulted in
loss OF lite. The particulars, as we gather
them from long statement in the Memphis
Enquirer, were as follows:
An attempt was made by the owners of
hatboat to resist the payment Of dues for whar-
fage. The boat was occupied by John Tres
ter and his two sons, James and Jacob, from
Marion county, Indiana, Benjamin Van
Scoce, Ihos. +. Hardisty and Charles Neigh
bors who abused the wharf master in round
terms, when he made application for payment.
The Mayor was informed of the facts, and is
sued writ, sumnoning the flat -boatmen to
his Office for trial.-Mr Locke, the town
constable, undertook to serve the writ, but, on
endeavoring to board tie boat, the elder Tres
ter drew pistol and warned him off: An ex-
ecutfon was Immediately issued, and the
towp-constablc summoned a posse to aid him.
Locke, the officer, and his men, got into
the ferryboa. and followed the flatboat, and in
a short time, overlook her. Locke and
Captain Ruth, as they approached the natboat,
ordered the Captain to submit and pay the de-
mand. The latter replied, g Go to h-lI ="
and used other abusing and insulting language.
The 2atboat hands pushed off the ferry boat
~1tbr1elke and poles, keeping her off for some
tiinos zntil they finally grapped the flatboat
Captain Ruth ordered his men not to fire un-
less it should be absolutely necessary. The
flatboatmen had their guns, poles and axes by
them ready for use. Captain Ruth Jumped
aboard the 1atboat, and was knocked down
with heavy stick. Another man who follow
ed him was also knocked down. At this
juncture the guns from the ferry boat were
fired and the elder Trester was severely
wounded. After some slight skirmishing, the
flatboat surrendered.
The Enquirer states that Trester died of
his wounds on the following day, and was
buried on Wednesday at Fort Pickering.
Every aid medical skill could supply, was al
forded him. One of his sons received Sc
we're sword cut the arm, but is about to re-
cover without serious Inconvenience. Neigh
bors also received slight cut on the head
from the same weapon.
The occurrences were, Of course, highly
exciting to the spectators. But when to this
was added the impression, which, however
originating, spread like wild fire through the
city, that the other flat-boatmen at the landing Q
were arming to rescue Trester and his party,
the excitement was tremendous.-The Men,
phis Blues turned out en- nasse, and in every
! direction were to be seen armed men rushing
to the scene of action, determined that the su-
prenacy Of the law should be maintained at
every hazard. Fortunately, however, no dis
position to interfere was manifested by the
boatmen
letter from the upper country states that
Corn is suffering from drought there, while
we have super abundance of rain here.-

Murders by .Negroes-.A murderer burnt.
The Picayune of The 9th lust, gives the
particulars of series of murders in the
neighborhood of Natchez, by two runaway
negroes, and violence done to females, whom
they captured and took into the woods. One
of the murdered men was named Noah Har
rlnston, another George Todd, and a third,
maze not given. The negroes were finally
tracked, and one of them taken; the other
escaped, fer the time being, it is thought with
a 'uct or two in him. The negro taken
confessed to the deeds, to his captors, when it
wassdeliberately resolved that the negro should
elnnnt alive. The: .:captors were worse than
thesgnolant murderer. The terrible scene
is thus described by the Free Trader:
he boy was taken and chained to a tree
Immediately on the bank Of the Mississippi.
on what is called Union Point Faggots
wee then collected and piled around him, to
whch he appeared quite Indifferent. When
thework was completed, he was asked what
he .ad to say. He then warned all to take
xarPle by him, and asked the prayers of all
ardnd. He then called for drink of water,
winch was handed to him; he drank it, and
SAT- sNow set 6re--I am ready to 90 in
pefe!' The torches were lighted, and placed
in he pile, which soon.ignited. He watched
uunoved the curling flame as it grew, until it
BEGAN to twine itself around and feed upon
his body; then he sent forth cries of agony
ntul TO the ear, begging some one to blow
hIbra'ns out, at the same time struggling with
almost s"perhuman strength, until the staple,
via which the chain was fastened to the tree,
(nff being well secured,) drew out, and he
le;Ped fIom the burning pile. At that mo-
m 2Sss1s sharp ring of several rifles was heard
'a'.fs the BODY OF the negro fell corpse OH the

We learn that Mr. U. had walked in the
eastern part OF the city about half an hour,
when finding himself unwelI, he stopped in
at u store to request that a carriage and physi-
clan might be sent for, but he died before
either arrived. Mr. U. was one of the oldest

Louisiana, and has left wife and large fam

Direct taxation, before many years elapse,
will become ubject Of serious consideration,
not only in this country, but in Europe. We
have come across the following extract from
the Westminster Review, published in Lon
awe feel, however, ashamed of the ground
of opposition which some liberal members
have chosen for their resistance to the mea-
sure,* We read with astonishnent the as
sertion that the principle of direct taxation is
"a return to the barbarous practices of ancient
t'mes' 1t Is return to sound first princi-
pies. All indirect taxation involves prime l.
pie of frauds mode of cheating the public
out of larger sum of money than they are
aware of paying; and the one cheat favors
others. The money easily obtained can be
as easily squandered, and this is a sufficient
reason, If there was no other, that, could we
begin agau de moro, the basis of the constit1-
ton should be, that representation should be
equal, and all taxation direct. Is there one
who can believe that if that principle had been
understood and acted upon two centuries
back the national debt could ever have been
incurred? The cunning Of modern govern
ments, by means of indirect taxation, has
laid heavier burdens upon communities than
were ever borne in peace by the nations OF
antiquity"
