Rape by II NegrO--Great Excite

| II appears that runaway negro from
Kentucky has been committing a num-

of Golconda, Pope county, and for sew
eral succeeding nights had broken into
the houses of farmers residing in that
vicinity, which he plundered Of provis-
ions aud whatever else he could man.
age to carry of. On Wednesday night
OF week before last, whilst on one of
his predatory excursions, he visited the
house of Mr. Daniel Threldked, seven
miles ives, of Golconda, into which he
made forcible entry through the win
dow of Mrs. Thieldkeld's. room, (she
being alone with her children, Mr. II.
absent on busiuess,) and notwi,hs,and-
ing most vigorous resistance on the
part of Mrs. T.. he finally succeeded in
choking he down and ravished hor
person, after accomplishing which, he
made his way To MIR. Jackson's, q near
neighbor of Mrs. Us broke into the
house, and attempted to commit a rape
on the person of Mrs. Jackson, who BY
her screams soon awakened her hus
band, who administered to the wretch q
severe drubbing. In the scufiie which
ensued the Black fend made his escape,
out was captured the next morning.
The crowd assembled aud took vote
as to whether he should be left to the
law or given up TO Threldkeld and his
tiiends. "A large number of those pres
ent were decidedly in favor of the lat
ter alternative, and the negro was there.
upon forcib!y. rescued from the sheriff,
taken by the mob about four miles
back iuto the country, and there tied
up to tree. Mrs. Th:eldkeld was
then cen, for, who fully identified him
as the one who violated her person on
the night previous. An old sword in
the possession of one of the crowd was
now secured and placed in the hands of
Mrs. L., who thereupon proceeded to
slash, stab and cut him in The most ter
ribie manner. After her vcngence was
fully satisfied the brothers and husband
of Mrs. I. shot the negro six or seven
times in different parts Of his body; one
of her brothers finally putting an end
TO his torments by shooting him through
he head. The brutal exhibition was
finally wound up by actually scalping
him. and his remains were thrown into
a gully a few rods from the place of ex.
ecution. ...-.... -. ....

TIE JAPAN TREArY.-Thc Calcutta (E
L. correspondent Of the London Times,
writing on October %, says:-A recent
article in the OBiciai Gazette Of the Meth
erlands has created some sensation here.
1t appears to have escaped attention in
Europe. 1t is well understood that the
treaties recently signed by the Japanese
government with the American and Brit.
ish Commissioners are frauds. Trade is no
more permitted than before. No one is
allowed to trade but the Imperial agents,
who again will sell only provisions. All
communication with the interior is prolib-
tied, and, inI1act, both nations arc pre-
cisely where they wcrcA 1t appears from
the Dutch statement that all these deccp-
tiOns were suggested from the Hague, that
a Dutch official, specially selected, was
sent TO Japan, aud that he has since acted
as kind Of Foreign Secretary to the i'm
perial government. These facts are, i'll
deed, admitted by the King himself, whose
notes on the treaty have been published,
and they appear to deserve, if not chas.
tisemcnt, at least attention The Dutch in
the East are jealous in the extreme of An
glo Saxon influence, and by no means scru-
pulous in their endcavors to undermine it.

Tue POLAR SEA.-The existence of q
Polar Sea having been demonstrated by
DIR. Kane, scientific commission is at
work to find Sht the cause of this anomaly
A correspondent Of the n. Y. Times thinks
that these causes will be found in the cen.
trifugal force and the internal heating pow.
cr Of the earth. The centrifugal force has
a tendency to heap up the waters under
the equator, thereby producing continual
surface current towards the South, and q
consequent absence Of water from the po
lar regions, which must be supplied, and is
undoubtedly, by submarine current. The
waters descend in the temperate regions o.
the earth, where they are much above the
freezing point; their heat is retained, and
probably increased at the vast depth at
which they move, and when they emerge
at the poles, they produce On open ant
warm sen, and n warm atmosphere aboul
it, But in their Aow to the South. the su
pcrabundant caloric of the water is con
iinually being given OF, until they arc &
nally reduced to the freezing point, and ul
timately become vast fields Of ice.
