Brown would be hung by the people.
The San Francisco papers add as later intelligence
We have been furnished by Mr.. James A Ford Of
Aoams & Co.'s Express, with the following additional
particulars "a little after o'clock, Mayor Foster
resigned his Office, and then inquired OF the assembled
copcourse il they were willing 10 let Brown be hung
by the autborities or whether they would execute him
themselves Immediately The answer was /" hang
him hang him /" The Gro sd then made rush for
the outer gate of the jail and succeeded in eecting
the doors with axes; the Sheriff having alresdy left
the place. At half past three they were etili breaking
open the cells in search Of Brown. No resistance was
made by the Sheriff or bis posse.
Ii is at least probable that Sheriff Barton hsd pre-
viously removed bis prisoners. We merely hazard
the remark, it is the natural inference to be drawn
from bis determined resistance in the first place aud
his subsequent departure in quiet and unobserved

at present lying in our Jail under sentence Of dssth
was in the town Of Lexington, and, under the lnfiu
ence of old erudRe harborered against SAN hiog
very estimsble citizen of that place, took occasion
to publicly asssi the character and reputation OF Mr.

bouse where johnson had taken refuge and shot him
dead. 80
The foregoing is the substance Of the affair We
can basrily obtain it. We learn that Mr. King died
Oh Monday night.
Thus have the lives Of two citizens been sacrificed
and their families left to mourn their untimsly be-
reavenent directly consequent upon the reckless use
Of q slsnderods tongue and criminal disregard Oh
the feelings of others.
Mr. King has been resident Of the Monte during
the pat three yesrs; believe he was formerly
from the State of Georgia lie possessed the esteem
and rsspect Of all his acquaintsncts and leaves be-

buried in the most profound affection.
We understood that the Of Mr.. King have
been arTeeied, and are undergoing an examination
before q Justice of the Peace.
Much excitement and feeling was manifested in
their favor their house being guarded by some fify
men during the night, there being some fear that
JohnsoDs friends might attempt to revenge his death.
The kisg boys we're examined before Justice Mar
tin and committed TO await the action Of the Grand
Jury.
