MURDER AND LYNcHINa. We have learned
from several persons, who have recently arrived
from Laredo, that a most shocking affair oc-
CURED in that place about two weeks since
Achilles Centre, an Italian, and Don Pedro Car
rera, Mexican, were killed BY DR.. Linton
The former was band master Of the 9Th Regi-
ment Of Infantry, and the latter principal in
the Mexican Marona, and it was during Don
Pedro's exhibition that he was killed. We have
made some efforts to obtain the particulars Of
this melancholy occurrence, but thus far have
failed, as every thing connected with this dis
graceful outrage seems to be enshrouded in
mystery There are various reports in circula-
tion relative to this transaction, and the only
definite conclusion we can arrive at, from all
the information received, is that two men were
murdered without any apparent cause or provo
cation, 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 doctor for
the insult The latter retired for few mo-
ments, but Immediately returned with his pis-
tol, and in attempting to shoot Centre shot Don
Pedro the first fire, who had placed himself be-
tween the parties in endeavoring to quiet the
disturbance The second shot he killed Centric.
After committing this bloody deed, he escaped
to the west side Of the Rio Grande, but on COM
hitting another outrage az stated, on the Mexi-
can side, he was apprehended by the Alcalde
and placed in the calaboose. The next day the
citizens Of Laredo held meeting and appointed
d committee to cross the river and demand Lin
ton of the Mexican authorities. The Alcalde
refused to give him up,sbnt informed those who
composed the committee that if they would 20
to the calahoose about o'clock in the evening,
that the key would be found in the door, They
did 80 and removed Linton from the Jail, and
brought him over to this side Of the river,
erected o gallows upon the public plaza and
hung him that night. Thus terminated the ex-
istence Of man who has heretofore figured
in nearly all grades and conditions of life-an
accomplished scholar and eminent physician,
DR.. Linton, it is said, was formerly a surgeon in
the United States Navy, and was on board the
brig Somers when Spencer was hung. We be-
lieye that he was one Of the witnesses who testi-
fed, upon the trial Of Com'r Mckenzie, on the
part Of the defence.
Since writing the above we have been in
formed that the citizens of Laredo had nothing
to do with the lynching, it being altogether CON
fined to the soldiers. After his execution, it is
reported that the body was horribly mutilated
by the soldiery, such was the intense excite
ment against the deceased [Nueces Valley,

We learn that DR.. Linton formerly resided in
Bayou Sara, in this State

Morehead and others, show their devotion to their
own people and their own rights, by keeping up intimate
relations with organization controlled by Mr. Seward
and his circle And the whg prees OF North Carolina
abuse Mr. Clingman for not doing the same thing Now
look at the causes which induced these whig leaders in
North Carolina to leave the democratic party and mark
the difference between these and the motives that
governed Mr. Clngman in leaving the company Of those
southern wings who looking forward to promotion BY
aid of abotion-whg votes He left because his former
party friends had refused stand by the rights of the
South and because he found in the democratic party
resolue and untalterng national spirit
Messrs Mangum Badger, Dudley and Morehead left the
democratic party on the bank question: question Of
finance upon this pretext they have even justified all
sorts Of coalitions with the northern wings the natural en-
emies of the South Mr. Clingman separated from the
whg arty ON the great issue of the constitution He left
il because the southern wings not true to their pledges
of hostility to the abotoniss He left it because he
the rights of the South denied to her. her honor outraged
and her interests tranpled upon He gave full notice
his determination adhere to his pledges and Of his
luton with party that was false to the imperie
of his section of the country And be is acting
with the democratic party consistently and Of right F
refuge is there left for honest and patriotic men bt The dem
ocraic party in these days? And who would not rather
than southern whg, who is ready to sacrifice even his
own rights and his fab and the constitution and the
Union, simply TO crafty personal ambition?

tee Foreign Relations that they may avail themselves
of such information they have obtained during the

important reforms proposed and many garng defects
and abuses of the present system remeded The
tee have investigated the whole subject with great
and after full deliberaon their bill will imbody the
suits of deep research and aborous examination and
econ The gross defects in the present system uni
versa acknowledged and the necessity for reform is felt
by ALL If the bill of the committee does reform all the

that its adoption by Congress will constitute important
