Kosta and John Mitchell, the Irish patriot
have arrived in New York.
The excitement at the wharf to see Mitchell
was very great, the steamer being surroun-
ded with boats. and the decks closely packed.
Salutes were fired by the Irish military CON-

HoRRIBLE.-Thos. Motley has been convic-
ted at Alterborough, S. Carolina, for the MUIR
der of q runaway slave. It was proved on
the trial that the inhuman monster first shot
and then whipped the slave, after which he
put him in a vice and then tortured him.
He then set him loose, started bloodhounds
after him, who ran him down, mangling him
horribly, and then, as a contamination of his
fendish purposes, he cut up the body Of the
slave and fed his flesh to the dogs. The
Charleston papers rejoice at the conviction
of this fend in human shape.
On the evening of the 21st ult., an outra-
geous murder was committed on the person
of j. G. Mccormick, who lived about IL miles

jury of inquest was held on the Oath, whose
verdict was murder, and by a post morton
examination his Uranium was found broken
into half a dozen pieces. Supposed to have
been done by Enoch Cummings and two of his
sons the former and one son are in prison
the other one ran off. 1t was made to appear
that his head was laid on a large root and
mashed into pieces with clubs, like common
people would do a viper.
DOLLARS AND CR1ME.-We have for a long
time, ever since reason in US was sufficient
ly mature to appreciate the enormity of the
offence, looked upon seduction as next in the
amount and Nervousness of its criminality
to murder, and entitled to nearly if not quite
as severe a retributive sentence of the law
But we have known the villains guilty of il
to go unwhipt Ofjustice, and smiling from the
grace of unmurdered virtue to the perpetra
ton ola fresh crime of the same damning die.
In North Carolina recently, a jury was
found who approached much nearer arriving
at justice in a case of the kind. than any We
have ever before observed. We should like
to know the name of every man on that jury.
but the names are not given. Will not the
Chronicle or the Democrat Milton) give theil
names, so that the world may know whom
to honour for being so Just? Each man Of
that jury is an Aristides that deserves to be
remembered. Below is the account of the
matter.-P0rtsmouth Globe.
