the evening" Of ths election in that place,
it is so very un-English, that we
should suppose IL must have been

is the account.
NThis moment the city is 10 the hands
Of a brain 'ess and disgusting mob. We
have just wltResse1 the most un-Eng
lish scene that ever disgraced this town
| Two vehicles lsdea with voters arrived
At the Court House, when il was supeo
sed by the mob they were opposed to
MIR. Burns, aud in the most brutal and
savage manner they were pulled out OF
tue stage, and literally trampled upon
the driver they robbed of his cap, and
with some murderous instrument cul
his head in a most shocking manner
We understand that Mayor, Sheriff and
Ma yistrates been again and again applI-
ed TO, yet no remedy has been applied
The moo, the Canailc, still usurp the
authority vested in the 'irigh Sheriff and
Mayor, while scene only affords anu Sc
ment to the magistrates prescott, whose
duty and oaths dictate a contrary course
The Chronicle is somewhat mi.tak about the
extent 10 which the earthquake was felt nthe east
We think il was not noticed east Of -Zsnesvilie.
WESTERN EARTHQUAKES We have now
received sufficient iniornaIion of the late earth

The fact. that this trembling Of the earth is

Whether tire above differences are inst or not,
they are worthy Of the investigation of iuquiring
