Mob at Burkettsville.

1t appears that some two weeks ago, a
gentleman, named Lamar. residing in The
town Ct Bulkeltsville, was returning from
Arnold's Spring, i'll or near The town
where he had gone for water, when me-
gro boy, slave of Thos. Il. Champion
ESQ, threw a stone at Mr.. LIS. dog which
was following his master. Mr.. h.. asked
the boy if the dog had done him any
harm. but Instead of receiving an answer
The negro rushed at him, threw him down
and was in The act of choaking him when
several persons coming up and seeing the
negro mal,realing MIR. H., they al once
made an effort TO take the boy. who, a
Harmed, ran off, and was pursued by {
number of citizens, who had heard the
alarm, but before he could be taken, sue
ceeded in reaching the house OF Manasselt
Grove, Esq, merchant, of BurkeiisvlIle
By this time a crowd of citizens 10 the
number of one hundred, had collected, de-
,ernincd TO rank vengeance upon The boy
by ynching. Mr.. Grove, however re-
fused to give MIN up, because he saw the
enraged feeling Of the populace, and be-
leved they mean! 10 infct upon the ne
gro summary punishment, which he
thought was wrong al that time. and he
advised them TO wait until the negTo's
master could be sent for, and the lacts
made known to him. His suggestion was
accepted, and the better and sober Judg-
ment and reflection of the citizens pre-
vailed, and the boy was suffered TO go
home, but warned never TO come to town
again. In the mean time, Mr.. Champion
was fully informed Of the outrageous con-
duct of his boy, and expressed willing
ness that lie should be punished severely.
On Saturday the 18th ult., The boy was
again seen in town, when, by consert OF
action, the citizens in large numbers, siIll
smarllng nuder the gross outrage commit
ted by the hegro upon respectable CHI
zen, made discen, upon him caught him,
caught him, took him to Mr.. Grove S
store. where they selected jury; tired
him before Esquire Harms, and found him
guilty, and sentenced him to receive forty
lashes, well laid on, which sentence was
Immediately carried into execution by
T. squire Harms, who did his duty in a
workmanlike manner. Afterwards, the
negro scoundrel was let loose and sent
home.
This is one Of the most daring and out
ragepus acts on the part of negro, which
we have ever heard Of in this county,

MAssinsly in bis last paper, in excuse for put
s;ag in his Office at $3.50 when it was worth $500,
sAysxhst the Asses sor asked him how much his Of
Geo fbuiidingl was worth; he replied that it cost
him $500 that the Assessor then said he would put
IL down at 800. This ,re do not beliere: but sup
% TO be true the law requires'the Assessor to FIX
ths value OF all Improvements, and if he thooght il
worth only 500, it was his duty to put it down at
chat, no matter what it cost. With the Office prop
svfy. the law requires Msttirely to give it in
ssdev oath. He says that as the Assessor put
che building at $lC0, when il cost 5000, he tho't
b would put in the alance of his property at the
same rate, and did 80. This Is as much as to say,
that because the Assessor thought his building
worth only 800, he Mattingly would, and did, re-
ssrn his other property at $3.50 when he hae,o it
vas worth $780, and therefore if he swore to tina

that he denies having anything to do with that

connected with the Court at that time know He
did draw up that affidavit-framed every word of
it himself and then presented it to Mr.. I.ston the
Jun counsel (and not the Senior as the Hon. gen.

1t was rather hard, and changed it and scratched
great portion of it out before he would swear to
it. Mr.. Reeve has further said in public speech
