SNAKE for Cure OF wounds.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man recommends smoke cure for wounds
in men and animals. He says:
l cut my foot with an axe. The lady of
the house, seizing the foot while it was yet
bleeding freely, held it over pan contain
ing smoking tag locks. In few minutes
the bleeding stopped, and the smoke reno
we'd, and bandage applied to protect it
from accidental blows. The wound never
matlerated, and consequently never paincd
me- have seen the remedy tried in many
similar cases, and always with the same re-
suits. Let the reader bear in mind that
no iniment or salve, drawing or healing,
should be applied. You are merely to
smoke the wound well, and nature will do
the rest.
suppose the smoke of burning wood
would produce the same results, but it
would not so manageble. There is prin-
ciple in the smoke of wood, which when
applied to the flesh, coagulates the albu-
meen, thus rendering it unacceptable of
putrefaction. The same principle stops
bleeding by coagulating the blood. 1t
promotes healing, and may be applied with
decided benefit to almost all ulcers, wounds
and cutaneous Diseases Sec Turner's

that at last we can no more free ourselves.

proof of it? Find it in all who have be-

Correspondence of the Louisville Democrat.
The Lexington Tragedy.
LEXINGTON, July 10, 1858

Mr.. Joseph Beard, the City Marshal, q
gentleman esteemed, and deservedly, by
all parties, was in the market this morning
in the discharge Of his duties, when man
of the name of VIM. Barker, a notorious
ruffian, bully, and thief, forced Mr.. John
McChesney into difficulty. Mr.. Beard
interfered, and told Barker that he must
90 to the watch house. Barker walked off
some twenty PAGES with him, and the draw
ing small bowie knife, stabbed him in the
side throwing him off the curb. As he
struggled to rise, his murderer took his
hand and assisted h IN partly to his feet,
and then struck bin again in the side with
the knife, turning it around in the wound
until it made cash into which mans
fist might be thrust. Barker was immedi-
ately arrested and conveyed to Jail. In the
course of half an hour the city was in a
ferment.
AT about two hours and half after the
murder, the courthouse bell, and all the
tire-bells in the city rang. This seemed
to be the signal. In an incredibly short
space of time, the courthouse and yard
were filled with people. A motion was
made and seconded to hang the murderer
immediately. The response was a rush to
the Jail. The jailor Mr.. Blincoe, was
seized, and the keys forced from him, and
Barker taken to the Court House. Here
an effort was made by Mr.. JAS. 0. Harrison,
Judge Thomas, and Mr.. Roger Hanson, to
induce the mob to wait and let the prison
er be tried and hung by the action of the
law, but their voices were drowned in shouts
"Hang him! hang him." A beam was
thrown out Of the second story window,
and rope being placed around their vic
TINS neck, he was asked if he did not wish
to pray. He replied with an oath, asking
what he was to pray for, uttering threats
at the same time, as to what he wo1ld
do with the questioner if he was released.
The rope being attached to the beam out
side, he was tossed from the window, fall
ing some six feet. The rope breaking
he fell to the pavement, fracturing his skull.
He was again taken up on ladder and
thrown over This time the rope held and
he was left swinging for two houis in the
broad, bright light of a July sun, in full
view of the most populous street, crowded
with mer, women and children. 1t was
the intention of the rioters to leave him
until six o'clock P. NJ, but he was cut down
at the end of the time have mentioned,
and carried away.
The crowd generally dispersed as soon
as the hanging was finished. In sn hour
everything was quiet as usual; asquiet as
iftwo gross violations of the law of God
and man had not occurred within few
hours.
Very many of those who are considered
our best citizens, are said to have been en-
gagged in this. 1t was quietly and quickly
done. -e-.. ..-.,----t .s
Mr. Beard was very estimable citizen,
and the Democratic candidate for re-elec-
ton. He leaves wife and five children
to mourn his loss-nearly or entirely des
titute. Subscription papers are now in
circulation, aud understand that a thou
sand dollars are already raised.

An Afflicted People.

Gods children are like stars, that shine
brightest in the darkest night; like torches,
that are the better for beating; like grapes,
that come not to the proof till they come
to the press; like trees, that drive down
their roots further, and grasp the earth
tighter, by reason of the storm; like vines,
that grow the better for bleeding; like
gold, that looks the better for securing;
like glow-worms, that shine best in the
dark; like juniper that smells sweetest in
the fire; like pomander, which becomes
more fragrant for chatting; like palm-trees,
which proves the better for preserving; Like
the ehamonile, which spreads the more as
you tread upon it.

LINCOLN,S REPLY TO DOUGLAS.

Mr.. Lincoln, who is regarded as the Re-
publican candidate for the seat in the SEN
ate now occupied by Mr.. Douglas, replied
on subsequent evening to the reception
speech of the "Liltle GIANT" at Chicago.
Nh. D. it will be remembered put himself
forward as the lifetime champion OF pop
ular sovereignty. Yet in the very same
speech he adopts the Dred Scott decision,
which asserts the supremacy Of Slavery,
and denies not only the right of Congress,
but the right of the people of territory
the sovercigns themselves,-to limit or re-
strain it. The Republicans assert the power
of Congress to prohibit slavery in the ter
ritorics Of. the United States, while they re-
ma territories. Mr.. Douglas, denying
this, set up his squatter sovereignty, affirm
ing the right of the settlers-the squatters
the people-to permit or forbid slavery.
The Cincinnati platform pronounced n
Desphic ambiguity tho right of the peo-
pie sohen they cone to form State Con-
stitution, to establish or prohibit slavery,
leaving the sovereignty of the squatter IN
the territory an open question; one side to
be advocated at the north by Douglas and
such as he; the other to be asserted by the
fre-eaters of the south, as the true inter-
pretation. The Drcd Scott decision ami
hilated the old doctrine of squalter SOW
reignty, and declared that of the STAKEHOLDER,
single and alone if he pleased, to establish
slavery in the territories and maintain it in
degance of squatter legislation. Following
this, Mr.. Buchanan declared that Kansas
is to-day as much (tliatis, as really, a slave
State as Georgia or South Carolina. The
Washington Union his confidential organ
went a step further, and denied the right
of the States themselves TO prohibit slavery
within their limits. Squarter sovereignty
Popular sovereignty!
Bnt we proposed to give some pithy ex
tracts of Mr.. Lincoln's speech. Mr. Lin
coin reviewed in mirthful manner the
views of squatter sovereignty:
suppose that Judge Douglas will clair
in little while that he is the inventor o
the idea that people should govern them
selves; cheers and laughter, that nobody
ever thought of such thing until be brugh
1t forward. We do remember that, iu thai
old Declaration of Independence, it is said
that "We hold these truths 10 be self evi
dent, that all men are created equal; tha,
they are endowed by their Creator will
ertain inalienable rights; that amopp these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness; that to secure these rights, govern
Inents arc instituted among men, derivin,
theirjust powers from the consent of tn
governed.'o There is the origin of Popula
Sovereignty. Who then shall come in a
this day and claim that he invented it2
THE ISSUE BETWEEN LINCOLN AND DOUG

they are to be the issues of this campaign
The first one of these points he bases upo
