Mon IN LEXINGTON, KY.--After ship.
ping the printing materials of the abolition
press, the citizens of Lexington collected
in kind of mob, and attacked and beat
in cruel manner several free negroes.
One of them was tarred and feathered in
The public square, the watchman taking no
notice of what was going on. The blacks
thus treated are said to be peaceable and
honest. This occurred on the night of the
10th ult. Next day public meeting was
held which denounced the mob, and adopt
ed measures to prevent its further action.
The operations of the mob were conducted
in quiet systematic manner.

HOWARD HIGH SCHooL.-We have been
favored with a copy of the first annual
catalogue of the officers and students of this
institution. The buildings are large and
commodious, and are situated on a beau.
tiful eminence in Fayette, Howard county,
Mo. Belonging to the School there is a
male and female department-the former
being under the superintendent Of Will
liam T. Lucky, A. NJ, Principal, and Ma
than Scarritt jun, A. B., Associate; the
latter under the control of Mrs. Mary ].
Lucky, as Associate. The institution, as
all such should be, seems to be well patro-
tronsed, the total number of students be-
ing so. The School is under the control
of the Missouri Annual Conference.-The.

New OPERATIoN-The editor of tho
Democrat has issued a prospectus to pub
fish that paper simultaneously in this place
and Columbia, Boone county. Our neigh.
Dor has hardly proven himself equal to the
task of managing the political interests of
Howard, and we do not see how he will be
able 10 stand up with the affairs of two
Wing counties on his shoulders. Perhaps,
however, he is like certain animal, (Which
shall be nameless, as we hate personalities,
and therefore would avoid comparisons of
personal nature) which is said to be capa.
BILE of drawing greater load, as the weight
is increased on its back Success to tho

WAR.-WO have nothing of importance
from Texas or Mexico, since our last
Gen. Taylor, who was then regarded as
being in some danger, and likely, from his
position, TO encounter thee Mexican force s.

What ever course Mexico may adopt
she will find the United States ready for
her. Our troops are still concentrating in
the direction of danger, while our nava
force in the Gulf is sufficient for all prac-
tical purposes.
The President will soon have at his dis
posal troops enough to devour Mexico,
head and ears. Companies are organizing
all over the country and offering their SER
vices in case of war. In our own State,
the fever is particularly in ST. Louis,
where several volunteer companies have
already united, chosen their officers, and
stand ready for action whenever called.
Major De Courcey, of Glasgow, is also
raising a company of volunteers, with a
view to Offering their services to the Gov
eminent.

SUIcIDE-Jesse Shaw, of Pike county,
committed suicide by shooting himself
with pistol, last week. No cause assigned
for the act.
ANoTHER.-A young man by the name
of Herwood, recently killed himself in
Baltimore, by taking laudanum. He was
a young man of fine talents--had been an
active politician, and had received promises
from time to time Of an office. He lived
on this delusive hope until his family were
suffering for the necessaries Of life, when
he committed the rash act.

An affray occurred in Washington City
on the 18th ult., between w. q. Kendall
(son of Amos KendalD and w. R. Elliott,
which resulted in the death Of the former,
by the discharge of pistol in the hands of
the latter. Josiah Bailey, who was acting
as the friend of Kendall, was wounded by
a pistol ball in one arm, being the only one
of three fired at him by Elliott, which took
effect. Elliott, after secreting himself a
few hours, surrendered himself to the
officers

DFWe understand Judge Hunt, of Pike,
has resigned his seat in the Convention
For what reason it is not stated. There is
avariety Of opinion as to whether Judges
can, legally, hold a seat in the Convention.
A Judge is not eligible 10 a seat in the leg
islature, and the Convention act stipulated
that such as were eligible to the Legislature,
should be 10 the Convention. How they
will ultimately settle this, remains to be
seen.

The Washington Union of the 22d uh.,
says: We are not advised that our govern.
ment has received any late dispatches or
further information from Mexico. Our
precautionary preparations are still advan-
cling with great spirit.
Some speculate that Mexico may not de.
clare war, yet that she may strike blow.
If she does not take very good care, this
blow may recoi with tremendous force
upon her own head.

THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH
SOME OF IT'S RESULTS.


1t is now almost certain that within few
months the Magnetic Telegraph, which is
literally material thought and fes as swift,
absolutely annihIating space and running
in advance of time, will be extended to all
the great cities in the Union--so that a
network of nerves of iron wire, strung
with lightning, will ramify from the brain,
New York, TO the distant limbs and men,
bers,-to the Atlantic seaboard towns, 10
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville,
st. Louis, and New Orleans--and that
every commercial, political, or social event
Transporting at either of these points will
be known at the very instant it happens,
in all When the Message of the Prcsi-
dent is read to Congress at Washington,
the citizens of Cincinnati, New Orleans,
and st. Louis will follow it, word by
word and line by line, and the editors there
will have the Message, together with their
own leaders and commentaries, spread be-
fore their readers thousands of miles from
the Capitol, while the Speaker is taking a
chew of tobacco, and turning up his wrist
bands, previous to putting the question of
adjournment. The sale Of stocks in Wall
street will be regularly reported as they

Second Board On the arrival Of foreign
advices at New York or Boston, the cotton
broker at Charleston, Mobile and New Or
leans will be informed Of the state of the
market in Liverpool, before our own citi-
zens have had time TO get an extra Tri-
bune into their fingers. If man is run
over by an omnibus in Broadway and dan

can be informed of the accident before he
has recovered his senses, and may continue
her solcitous inquiries every five minutes.

pronounced out of danger. If a treacher-
Gus william seduces his friends wife and
escapes, with as much Of her husbands
property as they can easily carry-or if a
bank is robbed or forgery committed
the fact is instaneously communicated TO
every part of the Union, and the culprits
may hope in vain to escape recognition and
detection. In short all the ordinary servi-
ces in conveying intelligence at present
performed by the newspapers in regular
course of mal,--or perhaps on extraordi-
nary occasions pushed through a few hours
in advance by expensive and uncertain
private representative completely usurp-
ed by the Telegraph, which will do the
business in perfect ease and quiet-no puff
ing, no blowing no laundering of express
horses, no exploding of locomotives-no
breaking of necks, nor running off railroad
tracks-and not single second of time in
tervening between the event and the uni.
versal diffusion of the intelligence.

Mn. BENTON AND THE FoRTY-NINTH

proposed the forty-ninth degree as the per-
manent boundary which ought TO be esiab.

Norm CAROLINA ELEcTIoN.-We arc
at length assured by the Raleigh Register
that the Congressional election in North
Carolina has resulted in the choice of the
following Representatives: James Graham,
Alfred Dockery, Daniel M. Barringer,
Wings; David S. Reid, James G. Dobbin,
John r. ]. Daniel, James J. Mckay, Henry
s. Clark, Asa Biggs, Locofocos. In the
last Congress there were four Wings; so
that we have lost one member--n Mr. Ray
ner's district, by little more than hundred
votes) The Register remarks that the
foregoing result shows in strong colors the
outrageous character of the gerrymander
perpetraed by the Locofoco majority in
the Legislature of 1912, when, with such
an exhibit of an election as the above, we
could yet, tomorrow, if we had the chance.

FACTORY GIRLS SAvINGs.-The amount
of money deposited by female operatives
in the Lowell Savings Bank, is equal to
twelve hundred and fifty dollars for every
factory girl in the place. Some of them
have saved two thousand dollars each, the
interest of which, at seven per cent, would
support them for life. Two thousand poor
working girls in New York are barely able
to support themselves, without saving any
thing.

The Hon. Il. PRATT.-One of the numerous
measures which failed in the House on the las
night of the session, for want of time TO con.
slider them, was proposition by Mr.. Pratt, OF
New York, for the monthly distribution OF
10000 copies of the Journal of the Franklin In
stltute among the mechanics of the country
This valuable Journal contains list of all the
patents issued; and, as it is well known fac,
that in the absence of such information, ''nanv
intentions are inpented ouer again." the fail
ure OF the proposition cannot but be regretted
Mr.. Pratt is sound practical man, and the
valuable reports he has made during the late
Congress, for the furtherance of the agricultural
and mechanical interests, will be remembered
when the frotby speeches of the mere partisan
shall have long been forgotten.
