WashinGton's Birth Day.

This is the Anniversary Of Washington's
Birth Day-next in Importance among our
natal days to the anniversary of our Indepen-
dence as Republic. We do not know but
that it should be considered as the real ami
versary of the birth day of our Republic-for
unaided by the wisdom, strength and patriot
ism of Washington we might never have had
it in our power to welcome the anniversary Of
the nations independence. Never within our
recollection have there been more general pre-
parations over the country, for the celebration
of Washington's Birth Day. than on this occa-
sion. Why is it this patriotic, this national
feeling, has been so suddenly aroused? We
earnestly believe the movement owes its origin
to the American party. We believe the very
formation of this party, and the spread Of its
principles, have renewed and freshened that
patriotism which in olden times welcomed our
Natal days with bonfres on the hills and can
mons in the vallies, and public and heartfelt
rejoicings everywhere. The American party
has placed Washington on its banners. and
side by side with that name. his immortal
language. In his name they have made their
appeals to the conntry's patriotism-in his
words they have woven some of their own ma
triotic and national principles. They have
drawn the hearts of the people nearer to him
in affectionate memory. They have made
that memory fresher, and if possible, dearer to
his countrymen. And it is this freshening OF
the memory and awakened sense of the coun-
try's and each citizens manifold obligations,
to the departed 'Father ofhis country" which
make us now feel more like honoring the an
niversary day of his birth.

MOB Law IN ILLINOIS.-A MAN HANGED
4 criminal under sentence of death was taken
from prison and hanged by mob on Friday
last, at CharleStown, Coles CO., Ill.
He was sentenced to suffer the penalty of
death for the alleged murder of his father-in-
law, some time ago. At the trial, the prisoners
counsel failed to obtain a change Of venue or
new trial; and the man was accordingly con-
demned to be hanged on Friday, the 10th inst.
MEANWHILE at the solicitation of his counsel,
the Governor granted a reprieve of 30 days, in
order that certain circumstances connected
with the murder might be more carefully scru-
tinized.
On Friday, large crowd from the surround
ing districts collected to witness the execu-
ton. When informed that temporary re-
prieve had been granted him, some violent
men among them advised them to break open
the prison and hang the criminal. Unfortu-
nately the advice was unopposed and acted
on.
There was guard of twelve men armed
around the prison. The mob drove them off.
They then attempted to gain admittance to the
gate, but the wife Of the jailor locked the door
and prevented them from entering.
They proceeded to wrench out the bars on
the prisoners cell, and soon made an opening
large enough for one man to enter. They
pushed one of their number into the cell. The
prisoner gave him thrashing, but two other
men were soon admitted and arrested him.
He was then taken out
The mob took him half mile out of town,
but only two men were found willing to act "a
hangmen Some others were finally induced
to assist, and the prisoner was hanged on the
branch of a tree.
The Sheriff found it impossible to raise a
posse strong enough to rescue the prisoner.
Several of the rioters have been arrested,
and great excitement prevailed at Charles
town.

An old and much Esteemed Citizen gone.

Col. Clement Whiting departed this life on
the morning of the 18th inst, at his residence
in Cynthiana, Posey county, Indiana.
The deceased was born in Fredericksburg,
Virginia, Oct 18th, 1889. In early life he
emigrated with his father to Fayette county,
KY, where he resided until his removal to this
place in eighteen hundred and eighteen.
Col. Whiting, like the sons of most of the
pioneers of the great West, enjoyed but limited
educational privileges, yet but few men pos
sessed stronger mind OF more discriminating
judgment. Many years since (the precise
time when, not known to the writer he be-
came member of the Fraternity of Ancient
York Masons, and the excellent principles and
rules of the Order, were his square and COM
pass through life.
As the proprietor of the "Whiting House, -
Col Whiting has been long and favorably
known to the travelling community. As a
citizen ne occupied prominent position, being
ever ready by his counsels and means to aid
any enterprise that promise& to advance the
interests of the community in which he lived
Sustaining througha long life in all its vari-
Gus relations, the character of high minded
and honorable man, he has left, not only a
companion, numerous family of children
and grand children, but an entire community
to mourn his death. A CITIZEN.

HooPs.-The New York Times narrates the
following little incident to show the advantages
sometimes derived from the wearing of hoops:
A week or two before last New Years after
a brisk circulation Of invitation cards-the
church of-was crowded to attend the mar
riage of Miss, aged 20, to Mr., aged
%. The young lady was daughter of a man
of large reputed wealth in the west end of the
the city, and the wedding was celebrated with
all pomp and ceremony usual on such occasions
and considerable more.
On New Years Day the young wife was ar
rayed in her wedding robes and received an
immense company of her old beaux, who adj
mired her beauty, thought that she went to
the full length of the fashion in her "Eugenie
hoop thought the husband happy fellow,
had fine time generally and went home.
Two weeks later and the hoop is no longer
needed. A bouncing infant no longer seeks
for soncealment and the young mother will
probably ALLURE hoops for the future, and as a
future grandmother, may look upon them as
immoral and to be discountenanced.

The ROGUE RIVER INDIAN WAR.-In the
Yerka Union of January 5 we find the follow
ing news:
CAMP, BUTTE CREEK, Dec. 81, 1855
The spies, in three days search found Indians
on the North Fork of Little Butte, about six
miles from the camp About IL o'clock on
the night of the Oath, the company proceeded
up Butte Creek, and camped within mile of
the Indian Rancheries, and early in the morn
ing proceeded to attack them, and at day.
break the firing from our side commenced,
having completely surrounded them. Eight
bucks" were killed, and the balance more or
less wounded. One squaw was accidentally
wounded IN the lower jaw; two squaws, with
their children, were made prisoners; no anu
milton was found, and four guns, several BUSH
els of wheat, some salmon. and four horses.
The result thus far is the total execution of
two hostile bands. Capt. Bushey found the
camp on Apologize too strong for the handful
of men with him, and sent for reinforcement.
By another week we hope to have as good an
account to give of that company as we have of
those of Capt's. Rice and Alcorn. Since the
above was in type, we have received commu-
nication from one of Capt. Bushey's men.
Twelve men, under the command of Lieut.
Armstrong, started Cor Thompson's Creek, and
seven men VIII OapC buSney, started on the
trail, and having followed it two or three miles
through thick, bushy ravine, we came sud-
denly in sight of their camp, and Immediately
opened fire on them, killing three and
wounding several. We captured all their
camp equipage. and then set the ranch on fire.
The party returned to camp this evening
A SPECTATOR.
BURNING OF THE CAPIToL.-Last week.
says the Oregon Times, we gave the news of
the burning of the Capitol. Later intelligence
from Salem seems to justify the conclusion
that this fire was first the work of an incendi-
airy. The fire was first seen at u o'clock on
Sunday morning. When first discovered by
DR.. Wilson, who lives near, the fire was issu-
ing out of the unfinished part of the northeast
corner Several persons arrived in time to
Aotice that those portions of the building
which were finished and occupied by the As
sembly with stoves were all dark at the time,
while the unfinished portions, accessible to in
eendiaries, were in flames.
ARRIVAL OF Gov. STEVENS FROM THE TNpI-
AN CoUNTRY.-It seems that all rumors in re-
lation to the massacre of Gov. Stevens and
party in the Indian country are without found
alton. According to the Oregonian, Gov. Ste
vens, of Washington Territory, had arrived at
the camp of the Oregon Mounted Volunteers.
and made speech in the regiment, in which
he avowed his determination to urge a contin-
uance of the war until every hostile Indian is
subdued and lasting peace acquired so that
treaty stipulations would in all times be OBJ
served.

HIRAM PowERs.-A paragraph has been
published to the effect that Hiram Powers, the
sculptor, was in pecuniary distress; it would
appear however, not to be true, for 1--WE learn
from the Mirror in letter recently received
