Craig the ProseCutQr


1.-The trial of Miss Della Webster,at Madison
was brought to a close on Friday last The Mad
ison Courier thus states the facts:
1t is generally known, that some ten years OF
more ago several indictments were found by the
Grand Jury at Lexington, KY, against Miss Web
ster, for running away with slaves,or aiding them
to escape. She tried ON one, convicted, SEN
fenced for ten years, land became an inmate of the
Kentucky State Prison In short time she was
pardoned by the then Gov. Criitenden, mainly
through the influence of the keeper, Craig. Short
ly thereafter she went East. After remaining with
her friends a short time she went to New York
city and established herself as a Daguerreotypst
: manufacturer of window shades. She was then
duced to abandon that business. and to remove
to this city, by Craig, who promsedeto assist her
in establishing n mandatory of window shades
here. The business not proving profitable Craig
rented a house for her, and placed his children
with her 10 board and be instructed by her. After
his children had been with her about year. Craig
and Miss W. had a.difiiculty, and all friendly rela-
tons terminated. From this city Miss Webster
removed to the farm she had purchased in Ken
lucky. in the spring of 1853, where she resided
up to The time she was driven away by Craig.
"A short time since il was noticed in the Courier
that Miss Webster had been arrested on suspicion
and incareerated in the county Jail of Trimble,
KY, and was discharged by the Judge of one of
the Sourts. oilpu III inns htfeInpt' the perSecn-

enc Of the Triad Their Supreme Directors are
three chiefs, and Triad member displays the
number wherever he can in his actions. Thus
he takes his cup Of tea with three fingers, bows
three times, requires three invitations to be
seated, etc. The Triad dates from the usurpa-
ton Of the foreign emperors. and the Tartar
Government is more severe towards its mem-
bers than those Of any other society, because OF
the wider ramifcations of the order, and their
ayowed and unconcealed hatred of the Tartar
race. They have their meetings in California,
and wherever else Chinese uahy be found. Their
statutes are written upon scrolls of linen, which
at the least alarm of danger are sunk in the
bottom of deep wells. The details of their
organization and workings are unknown, but
the ceremonies of invitation have been ascer-
tanned North American.

The Chinese secret order called the a Triad, y
has been SO frequently mentioned Of late wears,
in our accounts from California and the East,
that no doubt many of our readers will be glad
to know something Of its character. From a
recent essay, published in a Paris paper, called
Ia Patrie. it seems that the Chinese name of
of this order is Sau-he heel and that The
meaning of it is " the Society of the United
Three, or Of the Triad that is to say, of heaven,
earth, and man" There is distinctive badge
10 be worn by the members. when they dare do
so. 1t is. a blue silk scarf tipped with thread
lace y but as they are always opposed to the
tartar Government of China, it is rather
! dangerous badge to wear In some provinces,
however, they are sufficiently numerous to
brave the Government and wear it publicly.
me Trad, like all the other secret societies of
China, constitutes great political conspiracy
against the Tartar dynasty, and they are now
the active and vigorous propsgators Of the In.
surreotion. The number three is the mystic
