STILL LATER.

The statement that Mr.. Minafd was taken a
prisoner proves incorrect. He is now ia town,
having made bis escape at the time he was
supposed 10 have been taken. The stumbling
Of one OF the horses Of his puTsuers aud the
falling Of the rider was mistaken by those
looking on as The arrest OF Mr. M. He was
pursued about two miles, ard fred upon sew
efal times, but escaped anInjuted. Mr. Sparks
is also in town, aud eoafrms the truthEulness
Of the above report, so Far as it came under
his observation.
Mr.. Brown was taken by the mob as nara
Aed above, while on bis way home with sew
eral Others. He objected to being isken, and
thought it better 10 sell his life as dearly us
possible on the spot; but his associates urged
him to surrender, claiming that they would
ell be slain. This he finally, but very reluct
antly, consented TO do, in conside ralion Of sa-
wing The lives Of his companions, who seemed
so unwilling to defend themselves. He and
seven others were taken back to Easton, and
guarded through Friday. AT night they took
Mr.. B. out after releasing The others, for The
purpose ofhanging him, having their ropes and
implements ready for The work. Ssme propos-

A Speaker Elected at Last.

The OCEAN STEAMERS have tliumphed
at last, and BANKS is made Speaker OF the
House Of Congress by a plurality vote. Well
afte. all the blowing and Dragging of the sue
cesSes Of the opposition during the last and
previous yearover the Congressional elections.
the fasionists have had a hard time of it, and
now after ten weeks struggle, and an expense
Of some three hundred thousand dollars, they
have got a minority Speaker.
As Mr.. Banks is we'll qualified, by reputa.
ton, for the post, and commenced politics a
free trade Democrat, he may possibly so fal
disappointment his advocates, as 10 make
pretty fair presiding officer. He no doubt has
sense enough, if he is not sold body and

The country. Time will prove all these things.
