up to them, apparently to speak to them drew their
pistols suddenly, and shot them dead on the spot
These were four single cases in this part Of the city,

punishment than to BE- shot. The military court is
in session, and these desperate are disposed of

desperate villains were shot yesterday morning and

IIoRsE THIEF AND CorNTEEFEITER.-A
Young man by the name Of Uajher, form
cry of this village, was apprchcndcd ai
Fox Lake, on Sunday last, BY officer Kelly,
of this village, charged with having stolen
on the 9Th inst, two ponies, the property
of John p. Bean Of Green Lake. He
was examined on Monday before A. Stcck,
Esq, and in default Of security for his ap-
pearance for further examination, was com
mitted to Jail in Jefferson. Officer X. IS
entitled to much credit for his vigilance IN
the arrest of the prisoner, aided as the lat
ter was in his attempts 10 elude justice.
The ponies were sold 10 a man by the
name Of Satin, Of Racine county. As ra-
thcr a remarkable coincidence" we may
mention, that during the examination of
Walker, Deputy Sheriff Phelps, Of Dodge
county, passed through our village, having
Sabin in tow as prisoner, he having been
unprecedented on the charge of passing of
counterfeit Land Warrants TO an Illinois
drover, in exchange for horses. lie has
dealt more or less extensively in horse flesh
for some time past, and IS supposed TO be
connected with the same gang TO which
Walker belongs. Quarters have been pro-
yided for him in the Milwaukee Jail.

INDICATIONS OF SOMETHING AHEAD
There can hardly be a doubt that the northern,
States will shortly hold a convention for the pur-
pose ofagtse;ng upon a man to head the party OF
the north in the approaching presidential contest
The Barnburners of New York are now in conven-
ton; and, no doubt, will have a large portion OF
all parties to act with them. Mass, Maine, Vt.
and Ohio have called conventions for the purpose
Of bringing out and reuniting the free territory
strength of all parties, That Will be party
which will be on hand for a while and which will
meet the real issue which the slave power has 50
long been forcing upon the country.
Taylor will probably be the successful candidate,
and Calhoun Will give him his lessons during his
term of Office after this election, the party Of
the north will have absorbed wings, democrats,
national reiormers, liberty men, natives and other
parties, for the time being.
