rage has been committed in Mobile, with

from the Mobile Register, four negroes
were arrested In that city on the 18th inst.
charged with the commital ola most revol.
ting act. It seems from the confessions Of
one Of them, that on the night Of the 9th
inst, the fur negroes proceeded to the
grave ward, where they exhuned tho body
| of a white man who had been buried du-
| ring the day, and cut from it the fingers
toes and tongue; They then carefully re-
buried the body, returned 70 their quarters
and hung up 10 dry by the fire, the trophies
oiheir hofrd depreciation. The next day
as one of the party becoming alarmed o.
conscience stricken, told ofthe affair, anc
the actors in IT were all arrested. On be,
ing questioned as TO their motives for the
outrage, theygaYe as a reason that the fin
gers, toes or tongue of a dead body pos
sesscd a "charn, " which would enable thu
possessor to be always successful IN an,
species Of gambling in which he might en-
gage.
