the next Week several outrages, so revolt
ing that VIII not detail them, were perpe..
trated upon these men in different parts OF
the country; and the fact, that during this
general tumult, nothing was seon or heard
OF the mysterious rlleman, encouraged
them with the belief that they had succeed
ed IN getting rid OF him through the in
timldatlon OF his contederales.
They had now been for about fortnight
in the saddle-and glutted themselves with
vengeance, and as they conceived, broken
down this dangerous conspiracy against
their power; and if they had not succeeded

number, named Rees-almost as bad and
savage a man as Hinch himself-was rid
ing past thicket, in sight of his own house,
when he was shot from it. His negroes

for examination, and this fact had not been
before observed. VI course, every body
was satisfied now that this terrible being
was in one way or another identified with
Jack Long; for the notoriety of his favor

created such sensation. They could not
understand how q being so sim pie hearted

not, such vengeance and the daring con-

ing to their associations and prepossions,
and they sympathized heartily with him.
