BURGLARY.-On Friday night, about 7 o'clock,
Virginia Priddy, VINO lives in gully nation. near the
poor house. left home and proceeded to the theatre
and upon returning home at a late hour, found the
second story back windon open and that three silk
dress es-two old and one new-worth about $780,
belonging to her, had disappeared. The marks
of muddy foot were seen on the shed u nder the
window, and on the fence dividing her house from
that occupied by Virginia Kicks, mulatto woman,
which led her to suspect that said Kicks had en-
tered her (Ass Priddy's) .domicile during her alb
sence, aud appropriated to her own personal use
the three very pretty silk dresses. She accordingly
informed Captain Jinkins of the occurrence, who
had a watch kept around Miss Kicks house dur
ing the remainder of the night. Lights were seen
moving in Miss RS house, and Miss Kicks and
beau were noticed perambulating about the house
during the "wee short hours, in very suspicious
manner. In the morning a search warrant was
procured, and officer Pearce, accomp anied by
officer Boze, searched for the missing silks. The
idea very singularly popped into Mr.. Bozes head
that the missing articles ight be up the chimney
ON STOPPING down to look up Miss Kicks remark
ed to him that there was looking up the
chimney for the dresses, and that if they were up
there she did not put them there This remark
confirmed Mr.. BIS suspicious, aud upon thrusting
light up the chimney, he discovered bundle COW
cred with bed ticking. Of course. the bundle was
pulled down, and 10 and behold in coarse, striped
pillow case, the missing dresses found slowed
away very ungracefully. Miss r. appeared very
much confused at this wonderful result of chimney
sweeping, but denied knowing how the dresses
came there She arrested, and on Saturday,
after due examin stiou committed to ial TO aDpear
at a called meeting of the Hastings Court, to be
held the Goth OF this month, and answer the
charge Of burglary.

MURDER AND LYNCH LAw.-We learn from
The Grenada (Miss.) Republican of a case of
murder and lynch law which occurred recently
near that place. A. Mr.. Bingham, residing
near GRENADA, was missing. A party of ten
or h'teen citizens, supposing that he had been
thrown from his horse, aud either killed or dis
aoied, repaired, SO soon as the news was made
known to his farm, and searched the woods for
considerable distance around, but without
making any discoveries tending in the least to
solve the mytery Of his absence. After an
other search suspic ion was directed TO some
Of his own slaves. Most of them denied any
knowledge of the cause of their masters abb
scnce, but one was finally induced to disclose
the whole affair, and conducted the party
having them in charge, to the place where the
body was concealed. The others then corrob-
GRATED his statement as to all the material facts.
Ii appears from this confession that consul.
racy to murder the deceased had been entered
into by all the slaves, three Of his own and
one hired slaye.) several weeks prior TO the
omnssion of the act. On Sunday night, the
I'D ult., they accomplished their desig as Mr..
b. was entering his smoke ;housc after supper
for the purpose of giving them their rations.
As be was unlocking the door, one of the
negro men struck him a stunning blow on the
back OF The head with club, the other imme.
diately jumped upon him and grasped his
hands, and the negro woman secured his feet,
while the hrst caught him by the throat, and
made the fourth, young negro. bring a rope.
which was fastened around his neck. By this
means ne was strangled until life was extinct.
h's body was then thrown into ncighboring
creek, and the negroes spent tho remainder of
The plight IN singing and dancing. Two Of the
negroes were taken into custody, and guard
p'aeeo over them, but they were seized by
mop anu hung. Two others were placed in
jail. =

The Fraeas in tie House Of Representa-

tires.
The telegraphic communication of our
Washington correspondent, relative to the per
sonal collision between Messrs. Brown and
Wilcox, of Mississippi, published by us on
Saturday, was strictly correct. Both gentle
men made very humble and satisfactory apollo
gies TO the House but each seemed to be un-
der the impression that he was urged to say
and 10 what he did under the pressing nature
of his position. Mr.. Brown had ridiculed the
secession party of Mississippi, saying it had
chimerical existence. Mr.. Wilcox made a
pretty strong reply, and when pressed by Mr..
Brown for an explanation ofhis meaning, he
ans wered that if Mr.. B. said there was no party
in Mississippi in favor Of secession, sit is
false" Both gentlemen were on their feet and
near each other, and Mr.. Brown struck Mr..
Wilcox, when they clnched, but were soon
separated, after great deal of confusion,
The Speaker had prepared writ for the ar
rest Of both gentlemen, when, in consequence
ftheir apologies, all proceedings against them
were suspended. In the course Of their apoi-
gies, they exhibited no amicable feelings what
ever towards each other. Their humble con-
fesson to the House, and their declaration of
selfjust6caton, makes them singular set OF
penitents.
Saturday morning, however, the gratifying
announcement was made in the House, by MIR.
Polk, that the difficulty between Messrs. B.
and W. had been adjusted in manner credi-
table TO both parties and that their amicable re.
lutions were renewed. A challenge had. how
ever, passed, before this settlement was accom-
plished. Mr.. Johnson, of Arkansas, was the
second of Mr.. Brown, and Mr.. Polk, of Ten
nessee, Of Sir. Wilcox.
