Four Great Men.

1t is a remarkable fact, that the career of four
OF the most renowned characters that ever lived
closed with some violent or mournful death.
Alexander, after having climbed the dizzy
heights of his ambition, and with his temples
bound with chaplets dipped in the blood of
countless nations, looked down upon a con-
quered world, and wept that there was not
another one for him to conquer, set a city on
fire, and died in drunken debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the astonishment
and CONSERVATION of Rome, passed the Alps;
after having put to flight the armies of the mis-
tress OF the world, and stripped three bushels of
gold rings from the fingers of her slaughtered
knights, and made her very foundations qnake
fled from his country, being hated by those
who once exultingly united his name with that
of our God, and called him Hannibal-died at
last by poison, administered by his own hands,
unlamented and unwept in "a foreign land
Caesar, after having conquered eight hundred
cities, and dyed his clothes in the blood of one
million of his foes; after having pursued to
death the only rival he had on earth; was mis-
eraby assassinated by those he considered his
nearest friends, and in that very place the at
tainment of which had been his greatest am
bition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and empe-
rors Obeyed, after having filled the earth with
the terror of his name, deluged it with tears
and blood, and clothed the world with sack
cloth, closed his days in lonely banishment, al
most literally exiled from the world, vet where
he could sometimes see his country's banner
waving over the deep, but which could not or
would not bring him aid
Thus four men, who, from the peculiar situa-
ton of their portraits, seem to stand as the
representatives of all those whom the world
called GREAT-these four who, each in turn
made the earth trembe to its very center by
their simple tread, severally died-one by in
toxication, or, as some suppose, by poison min
gled in his wine-one by suicide-one murder
ed by his friends-and one in lonely exile.
The Nevada Democrat., 1856-11-26
Black Hole Of Calcutta.

There are many persons, no doubt, who have
never heard the origin of this often quoted pas
sage; for them and others who may have per-
haps forgotten the subject, we copy the follow
ing article which tells the whole mournful story:
Lord Give, while Colonel of the British ar
my, commenced his career as founder of the
British empire in India. Full of honors and
wealth he returned to England, but being de-
feated in getting into Parliament, in 1855 sailed
under the Kings command, again for India, the
company appointing him to the Governorshp of
Fort st. David. But the very day he stepped
into the gubernatorial chair, at Madras, the
Bengal Nabob took Calcutta. Then came that
chapter of unheard-of cruelty, familiar to ev-
cry child who has learned to read his story
books. The tragedy of the Black Hole occur
red in 1856, just hundred years ago.
The dungeon was but twenty feet square,
Midsummer heat was parching India. The lit
tie garrison thought it all a joke, when they
were ordered to go in; but to refuse was to die,
for Sarajahul Dowlak's orders must be obeyed !;
prolonged suffering was better than instant
death; they entered, one hundred and forty-six
in all. The door was closed, the small aperture
admitted neither light nor air. When they be-
gan to exchange breaths the startling truth
burst upon them. The air already was almost
pItrd; they shrieked, they yelled in mortal
agony they screamed for water and then killed
each other over the cup which passed through
the grating. While the poor prisoners were
biting and squeezing each others life away
gaspng for air, for water, for any thing to re-
lieve them of their agony-the jailers laughed
and danced in pure delight. Holmeil, the high
est in rank, offered the jailer heavy bribes; but
no, the Nabob was sleeping, and no one dared
to wake him. In the morning, when the de-
bauch was slept away, he ordered the dungeon
door to be opened, and out staggered twenty
three swollen, distorted living corpses! One
hundred and twenty three were piled up-a pu-
trefying mass of men-all shapes and forms
were represented in the death struggle. The
English woman who survived was sent to the
harem of the Prince of Moorshedebad. Hol-
neil was saved and tells the tale. The dead
were burned on the spot, but the harrowingpic-
ture did not move in the least the granite dispo-
siton of the human tiger. The horrible deed
reached Give, and the celebrated battle of Plas-
sey showed the inhuman Nabob that it was a
foolhardy thing to trhe with the feelings of
Englishmen. The soldiers fought like bulldogs;
revenge stimulated them on, and the Nabob's
army of $4,000 strong was broken like reed.
Give lost but twenty-five men.

LIABILITIES OF MEMBERS OF THE VIGILANCE
CoMMIrrEE.-We copy the following extract
from an article in the New York Journal of
Commerce, on this subject
"Wherever they are found, they can be held
to respond in damages to parties injured. In
whatever State they may take refuge, they are
liable to be seized and carried back to Califor-
MIA, on requisiton of its Governor, to be there
arraigned on criminal process The Governor
may refrain from making the requisition, in de-
ference to a predominant public sentiment at
home, which might prevent a conviction there;
but the liability remains. Every member of
the vigilance committee who was present and
concurred in the execution of Cora, Casey,
Hetherington and Brace, is liable to answer for
the crime of murder. Every man among them
is individually liable in damages to each of the
persons who were exiled or imprisoned by the
committee. 1t matters not whether he actively
concurred in the sentence of the committee or
not. The fact of his being member of an as
sociation combined for unlawful acts, and pre-
sent at their commission, makes him accounta-
BILE for the consequences. That this is no theO-
retcal liability, the recent arrest in this city of
the president of the vigilance committee dem
onstrates. We point to it with no exultation
at the fulfment of our warning, which declared
them no where safe from punishment, short of
a refuge In the ranks of Walkers army: but to
illustrate the peril and the folly which even
whole communities of men incur and commit,
when they attempt to defy the law, and to set
themselves up above its power.
