-.il.Mosr y Rlor.--pEoEIA, ILL.,, Dec, 10,
1850. Our city was thrown INTO much cX-
element to-day. The execution Of Brown
and Williams. for the murder Of Mr. llew-
cit, was to have taken place yesterday,
but an order from the Governor, received
OH "Wednesday, it WAS extended TO The 10Th
of January next. This not being generally
known nor credited, large masses OF this
and adjoining counties, assembled TO wit
nccs the execution. and being disappointed
in their expectations, n proportion OF them
resolved that the persons should be exc
culcd forthwith, and urged on by exciting
speeches, they got POSSESSION OF the scat
fold from the Jail yard, and erected 1t in
front Of the Jail They then effected M
entrance by jerking the doors and locks;
and proceeded with crowbar. '"antling
and other implements, To the c-..s, where
they net with resistance from Brown,
who, although sliacklcd, as soon as the
cells were opened, stepped into the hall,
disarmcd a few of the mobbcrs, by taking
from them the crowbars and scantling, bar
red his cell on tho inside, and dcticd them.
lie broke the scanlling over the m%obbcrs,
and gave them other striking Illustration
OF his entire %disapproval of such unlawful
proceedings. The prisoners were again
secured in the cells, and before dark the
crowd dispersed.
Thus resulted, what at first all supposed
would be a most lragical and dissrncciul
affair. The mob fell back, aud a few OF
our citizens dropping in at this juncturc,
prevented further violence.
RULING PASSION STRONG IN DEATn.-

As soon as he knew his case wa dCa:er-

whom no was indebted in his mercantile
concerns.
'Gontlcmen,'' said he, 81 am going TO
die, and my death will DO an Inconvenience
to you, because it will be some time before
you can get your account settled with my
executions; now il YOU will allow NE a hand

once" They agreed to the proposal, and
tie Alderman turned his death into nine
hundred pounds profit.

to hold q General Convention to nominate
a Union Candidate for the Presidency,
. seems to be as firmly fixed az the rock of
Gibraltar. Meanwhile, the discussion as
to the probable candidate of such 4 Con-
%yention is very lively and conducted in the
best feeling. The great rivalry, just now,
seems TO be, who shall give way to The
other. The names of Cobb, Cass. Web
s,er, Douglass, Speaker Cobb, Buchanan,
Foote, Dickinson, Scott, Crittcndcn, Ilous.
ton, Fillmore, r. ]. Walker, Senator
SPearce, Bell, Corwin, &c, arc all weighed
and re.weigled in connection with such a
tlomination, with great gusto by their scve-
raj friends. lust at this moment, the
Young Mems ticket is most in favor, viz:
For President, Howell Cobb. OF Georgia;
For Vice President, Stephen a. Douglass,
of Illinois.
One thing is certain, and that is, it the
Union party hold a Convention and nomi-
nate a. ticket, in good faith, it will sweep
the country. And another thing is Ger
tain, and that is, that no Union Candi-
dates can be nominated, unless Clay, Cass,
Webster, Foote, Dickinson, Scott, fTous-
ton and II. J Walker, and their friends,
be parties to such a nomination, in good

occurrence in the ncighborllood of Spring
sfield and Turnersville. On Friday last,
it commenced showing in that %ncighbor-
hood, but before night the showing ceased,
and3a very cold rain commenced. The
y rain seemed to freeze nearly as fast as it
#}feil; the trees were soon covered with ice,
and became so heavily laden, that the limbs
broke off, and many Of the trees were split
and pressed TO tha ground by tho great
weight. Our informant states that he had
a. largo number of saw logs cut aud laying
over a space OF about half mile. whicf,
AtWero entirely covered by fallen trees. lie
also states that the principal roads near
Springfield and Turnersvillc arc rendered
impossible to any kind Of vehicle; and that
a great deal of stock has been killed in his
