Printers Mistakes.

During the Mexican wa, one of the
English newspapers hurriedly announced
an important item of news from Mexico,
that Gen. Pillow and thirty-seven of his
men had been lost in bottle (battle. }
Some other paper informed the public not
long ago that a man in brown surtOut
was yesterday brough! before the police
court or a charge OF having stolen small
or (box) from lady's work bag. The
stolen property was found in his waistcoat
pocket. A raj (rafD says another paper,
descending the river, came in contact with
with steamboat; and, so serious was the
injury 10 the boat, tha, great exertions
were necessary TO save it. An English
paper once stated that the Russian Gen.,
Racknofkowsy was found dead with
long aOord (sword) in his mouth. Ii was
perhaps, the same paper that in giving a
description of battle between the Poles
and Russians, said that the conflict was
dreadful, and the enemy was repulsed
with great laughter (slaughter.) Again /:
A gentleman was yesterday brought up 10
answer the charge of having eaten (bea-
ten) stage driver, for demanding more
than his fare. At the late Fourth of July
dinner in the Town of Charlestown, none
of the poultry were eatable except the

The Mob Murders in Iowa.

It is high time the lynchings which
have recently taken place in Iowa were
called by the right names, and the legal
tribunals of the State were setting about
to vindicate the majesty of the law by the
punishment Of the wretches who have ia
ken the laws in their own hands. The
hanging of VIM. 3. Thomas, in Monte
yuma, was as foul murder as was ever
perpelrated by midnight assassin. The
Ochkosk Herald gives the following ad-
dlional particulars of the event:
mo sooner was the decision of the
court given Changing the venue, in order
that he might have fair trial) than reg
ular organized mob Of about two hund, ed
men proceeded to the old courthouse,
where the prisoner was confined, and de-
manded, and by force took Thomas from
the custody of the sheriff, and amid the
terrifying shrieks Of the prisoner and the
most helish reveings of the mob, carried
him away 10 tree which they had previ-
ously prepared in the suburbs of the town.
Here, without even adhering TO the Gus
toms OF lvnch law, or abiding TO the hon
or Of mob force, they placed the rope a.
round the prisoners neck and demanded
confession of crime. The rope was
drawn over limb, and the prisoner swung
into the air. After a few struggles he
was let down, and again demanded TO
make confession. Again he pleaded in
nocen, Of the crime. Again he was hung
up and FIRE kindled beneath his feet.
The mob threatened TO burn him if he did
not confess the murder. Again he was
let down. From the strangulatlons
received, he had lost his strength and his
voice. The prisoner, in the laintnesS
of death, persisted that he was innocent
Again he was hung up, where he remain
ed until he was dead
The Herald say S this makes the tenth
victim of the mob violence in Iowa since
the first Of April--four in Jackson, five in
Cedar and one in PoweshiCk.
