From the Mucous Valley, June 24th.
Murder and Lynching in Texas.
We have learned from several persons
who have recently arrived from Laredo,
that most shocking affair occurred in that
place about two weeks since. Achilles
Centro, an Italian, and Don Pedro Care
rera, a Mexican, were killed by Dr.. Lin
ton. The fermer was band master of the
5th Regiment of Infantry, and the latter
principal of the Mexican Maroma, and it
was during Don 7edro's exhibition that
he was killed.
There are various reports in circulation
relative to this transaction, and the only
definite conclusion we can arrive at from
the information received is, that two men
were murdered without any apparent
cause or provocation, and the murderer
hung, under the solemn condemnation and
sentence of his honor Judge Lynch. We
have been informed that the difficulty by
which three persons were launched into
eternity. grew out of an insult given by
the doctor to the wife of the band master
who was present at the exhibition.
The band master reprimanded the doc
tor for the insult; the latter retired for
moment, but Immediately returned with
his pistols, and in attempting to shoot
| Centro, shot Don Pedro at the first fire,
who had placed himself between the par
ties in endeavoring to quiet the disturb
ance The second that killed Centro.-
After committing this bloody deed, he es-
capped to the west side of the Rio Grande,
but on committing another outrage, as
stated, on the Mexican side, of the river,
he was apprehended by the alcade and
placed in the calabose
! The next day the citizens Of Laredo
held a meeting and appointed committee
to cross the river and demand Linton of
the Mexican authorities. Mhe alcade re-
fused to give him up, but informed those
who composed the committee, that fthey
would go to the calabose about nine
o'clock, A. M, the key would be found in
the door, They did SO, and removed
Linton from the Jail, and brought him
over to this side of the river-erected a
gallows upon the public plazo, and hung
him that night. Thus terminated the ex-
istence oil man who has heretofore fgur-
ed in nearly all grades and conditions of
life, an accomplished scholars and eminent
physicians.
Doctor Linton, it is said, was formerly
surgeon in the United States Navy, and
was on board the brig Somers when Spen-
Ger was hung. We believe that he was
one Of the witnesses who testified upon
the trial of Commander Mckenzie on the
part Of the defense.
Since writing the above, we have been
informed that the citizens of Laredo had
nothing to do with the lynching, it being
altogether confined to the soldiers After
his execution, it is reported that the body
was horribly mutilated by the soldiery--
such was the intense excitement against
the deceased.

No Wheat-.NO Taxes

Suppose the advocates Of vested rights.
those whom chime in with the bankers
in denouncing the Democrats for passing
a law to compel bankers to pay their just
proportion of tax--should be met with a
demand from the farmers of the country,
for an exemption similar to the one the
bankers claim, viz: ''No profts-no tax
es." Or suppose that enough of legisla-
tors had been elected some six or eight
yearc ago, to pass law exempting all
farmers from paying taxes who make 20
profits, and that having power, they did
actually pass such law. to remain in force
for twenty. fifty or hundred years, could
there man be found in our midst to say
that it would be right to leave these far
mers alone, and impose heavier burthens
upon the rest of community, to make up
deficiency When the weevil and the
rust, the drought or the frost, sweep away
the crops OF. our farmers, the source Of
their profits and in numerous instances,
the means of keeping soul and body to-
gether--have they not far greater show
of reason on their side to justify such a
law and such an immunity, than the rich
bankers have? Well, then, lift would BE-
wrong to exemp farmers, when their
wheat crops fail, from paying any taxes,
is it not more probably wrong to justify
the bankers in trying to shirk their just
proportion of the public burthens? And
can those politicians be honest who sue
cumb to the money power, irrespective of
the gross injustice done thereby to the
rest Of community? Let the tax payers,
the farmers, answer at the ballot box
If it be right for the bankers to say, "no
profits, no taxes it will be equally SO for
the farmer to say, "no wheat, no taxes. +"

The Last Dollar.

How many have seen the last dollar
disappear from their hands, and how few
are they in the world who can say
Il always had dollar" How soon, too.
when that dollar has disappeared, friends
faithless friends disappear as magically,
and we are led to learn the realities OF
this world of wealth. Even true friends
are compelled in self-defence to stand aloof
and allow these to traduce his intentions
however honorable they be.
A friend has shown US bank note,
a dollar bill, which had found It's way into
his hand, through the great channel of
trade, oD the back of which is written in
fine business like hand, the following
Take this barkeeper-it is the last
dollar l have on earth. Give me back all
Ihave spent here and could buy coats
to shelter me from the chilling winter. Oh,
Elizabeth, why did you not accept the
precious gift I offered you But no!
George BIS your choice. Well, take
him you will have to answer for the sin
Il am lost and ruined forever. That fata
day you refused me I shall never forget
J. 7. w
What lesson to the thoughtless this
teaches. Should we not all profit by it ?
Broken-frozen hearts are not subject of
mirth, but of sympathy. Blighted hope,
with its withering fires, should not be the
cause for scandal We should practice
more of the precepts of the Nazarene and
preach less. That great desire of his.
Love one another" is little felt in this
world of money changers.
How sorrowful must it be to see youth
with talents and hands, driven to sorrow,
that heart corroding demon, for an object
deserving contempt, for faithless woman
is thing undeserving the second thought
of young man of good principles and
good character. We would refer him to
poet, worthy poet, who, unlike many
of his contemporaries, is seldom quoted;
yet we were inclined we would advise the
rejected one to keep the dollar, cheer up
and exclaim,
eWhy bless her, let her go!"

The Difficulty Between Russia and the
United States
Thefollowing is news in this country:
Does the war-speck in the Far West,
scarcely the size of mans hand,,'
mean anything of consequence? Ameri-
ca and Russia on the eve of mortal dis
pute on fishery question. In this mat
ter, Russia, it appears, has been, secunden
artem, encroaching for some time past, and
endeavoringto prevent the rightofthe citi-
zens of the United States to fish on all the
coast of North America, without excep-
ton, whether belonging to the United
States or Russia--a right which. had been
previously exercised time immortal; and
at last the Russian Governor of KAN
schatka, acting own powers given to him
by the Government of St. Petersburg,
comedies to public company the exclu-
sive right to fish along the entire coast
upon which Russia has establishments.
"This concession" according to the
Moniteur de la FloHe, embraces consid-
cradle zone, and several points upon which
Russia has no kind of right whatsoever.
In the meantime, the Governor Of Kam
schatka makes proclamation Of the treaty
just passed, and declares that such vessels
as do not think proper to respect the rights
of the concessionals, shall be captured
and their proprietors mulcted to the
amount of three thousand dollars. This
measure produced a profound sensation
and was furthermore followed by an en-
ergetic protest on the part of the Consu
of the United States. The Russian au
thorities, SO far from paying attention t.
this protest, proceeded to seize by force
United States vessel in the Bay of Silka
under the pretext that it was preparing t,
contravence the new treaty. This wa
the position of affairs when the last &C
counts were dispatched to Washiny yton.

A Parallel.

There is a striking parallel between the
action of the opponents of Democracy
now, and the action of the opponents Of
Democracy in the days of the Hartford
Convention. This parallel is remarked
upon by the Vermont Patriot in the follow
ing truthful terms:
The Hartford Convention was called,
among other things, 'sto check the en-
croachments of the slave power which
it was said the purchase of Louisiana was
intended to advance, and which Mr.. JEFF
ferson and the Democratic party were ac-
cused of secretly aiding. And this was
to be done by the formation of grand
SECTIONAL NORTHERN PARTY, whose OBJ
ject was treason to the States and dis
solution of the Union The Northern
men who favored the Convention denoun-
hced their Southern party friends, and, cut
ting loose from them, attempted a mag
nifcent coalition of all parties, to carry out
their reasonable schemes, under the spe-
cious pretext Of checking the advance Of the
slave poaCer, and meeting the overwhelming
influence Of tie s. nth in our national coun-
cils What's the difference between the
origin, the objects, and the pretexts of the
old and the new Federal parties? NONE
AT ALL! Now. as then, disappointed of
ice-seekers and broken down party hacks,
are the leaders traitors, tories, fanatics,
infdels, atheists the tools the pretext, the
slave power and the influence of the South
sectional party the instrument and a
dissolution of the Union the object The
instincts of the men, the material, the
tools, the pretext and the object are iden-
tically the same.
METAPHoRIcAL. ALL will remember
that most extr aordinary metaphor from
the Irish bar, II smell a rat see him
proving in the storm-I will crush him
in the budP' Occasionally, we see one
quite as extravagant. At the recent
Woman's Temperance Convention, at
Utica, the ladies resolved that the veto
act of Governor Seymour, on the Temper
ance question, ''has opened afresh the
bleeding wounds of hearts alreaoy lacera-
ted and well-nigh broken rivited, the
chains of the giant demon, hoisted the
flood gases Of finiquity, and rolled forward
the tide of intemperance which now de-
luges the land !''

The Accident to the Steamer Franklin.
The New York Tribune has conversed
with passenger, who gives the following
description of the misfortunes of that
vessel:
1t seems that the usual farewell dinner
had taken place, and the passengers re-
tired for the purpose of reaching New
York in the orthodox style the next day.
But the morning of Wednesday there was
a fog impenetrably dense, and it soon was
discovered that the vessel was consider
ably off her course. Between seven and
eight O'Clock she struck, and there ensued,
of course, more or less alarm and con-
fusion az
1t was impossible to tell where she was
precisely, but it was discovered to be on
sand and not rock she had stranded, in
about fifteen feet of water; her draft being
nineteen. The passengers were called to
assist the crew in the emergency. 1t was
Immediately necessary to othrow overheard
her provisions and stores, coal included.
Signal guns were fred, and soon, the fog
clearing away, fair, bright day revealed
that the ships party were not in danger,
as she was about thousand feet from
shore on Long Island Baech, off Moriches,
about sixty miles from Sandy Hook and
fifteen or twenty from Fire Island. The
usual nautical procedures in such cases
were resorted to, and by means of life
boats all the passengers were readily
brought ashore. The baggage was all
saved. The passengers took refuge in
the m-houses few miles from the place
of debarkation, where they found chance
assistance.

The Spanish 1nsurrection.

/. The London Times of July 9th, at the
conclusion Of an article on the Spanish in
surrection, says:
The fact is abundantly clear, thatarmed
insurrection exists in Madrid and in the
provinces, and that the Government has
not been strong enoughto put it down.
In Madrid itself--at the principal seat of
Government, where as may reasonably
be supposed. the advisers of the Spanish
Court had gathered together the troops
upon whom they could place the most
conference.-the insurrection has been able
to maintain itself. There are many off,
GERS in and about the capital of great
name, but no one of the number has
come forward to maintain the throne of
Queen Isabella II, now threatened with
such imminent destruction.
We are not surprised that these events
have taken place; we may be rather sur
prised that they have been SO long defer
red. For the last two or three years the
Spanis h nations has beenripe for insurrec-
ton, and in all probility, the only consid-
Grafton which has restrained them from
action has been the recollection of the evils
under which they have SO lately smarted,
and the exhaustion of the country conse-
quent upon protracted. civil war Be-
side, it might be very obvious to the mind
of a Spaniard that such person or such a
faction deserve to be swept away, but ii
was not SO clear that any public person
age with whom he was acquainted de-
served to be set up in his place. BY
whom had the nation not been plundered
by whom no dragooned and oppressed:
So it is in Spain, and it is, as. respects
Spain through Europe. She has com
PEELED the world to despair of her, and
the fortunes of a country which once
were of universal interest have fallen sc
utterly in public estimation that few of the
thousands who read the bulletins from the
Danube with the deepest anxiety, viii
thinkit worth their while to give more
than glance at the intelligence even of E
revolution in Madrid.
