Burning n Negro Rt the Stake
Dreadful Particulars.

A correspondent of the MaysVille Eagle
gives the following particulars Of the recent
burning OF a negro at Troy, KY, for the
murder Of his master:
On New Years Day, the annual negro
lies took place at Troy, the county seat,
and there was quite q collection of people
there; every thing went on smoothly until
about three o'clock In the evening, when
Mr.. James Galway, a brother.in.law of the
deceased, mounted upon an old goods box be.
fore store door, and addressed the people
Tor about fifteen minutes. He said If the
mass oi the people felt as he did, and would
do their duty, which he believed they would,
that they would take the black murderer out
OF jail and burn him at the stake, In the pre-
sence OF all the negroes that were there, to
set on example before them, and show them
what will be the result OF all such conduct
II there should ever be such again. Then
he closed by saying, "All that feel as / do
will follow me-" He then leaped from the
stand and there was general shout given,
ana ne led the way TO the Jail, and nine.
tenths of the multitude followed. On arriv.
ing at the Jail they found the sheriff and
Jailor who did all they could to suppress the
mob, but all TO no purpose.
They now mustered some eight hundred
or one thousand strong. They then com.
menced with sledge hammers, crowburs and
oxes, and in about an hour entered the Jail
and brought forward their victim, (the negro
murderer) They marched him to the GEN.
ter Of the jail-yard; drove down large stake
and chained him, in an erect position, hands
ana feet fast to the stake. There was an
abundance Of shavings and fine. split wood
piled around him. This consumed some half
an hour. During this time the negro talked
to the negroes that gathered around him.
lie told them that he had good master, and
that he was always treated too well and Civ

warning in time, and never do as he had
done. Then the torch was applied, and he

The Chartered Paraguay Vessels.

1t will be recollected that when the com.
plement OF steamers required for the Para.
quay expedition was made up by chartered
vessels, the Boston and Philadel pha papers
were severely critical ON the qualities OF the
additional steamers employed by the Navy
Department. 1t was said that they were
slow sailers, that they were unseaworthy,
and that they would prove the cof1ins of the
officers and troops sent out there. These
predictions have, as might have been expect.
ed, been falsifed by the facts. The char
tered steamers so far from showing any in.
ieriority in their sailing or other qualities,
have, thus far, proved themselves equal to
any OF the other vessels in the squadron
With the exception of the Metacomet, which
put in for four days at Key West, they have
all made excellent time, and seem to have
given general satisfaction.
The slight delay which occurred to the
vessel referred to, detracts nothing from her
character as fast sailer. The finest steam
ers float are subject to the same causes of
detention, and we are much mistaken If the
Metacomet does not make up for it BY her
subsequent performances. From the ac.
counts published by US few DAYS since, II
will have been seen that all these chartered
vessels had been heard Of, and were making
rapid way towards their destination. Thev
will, no doubt, all give good account Of
themselves when the fighting, IL fighting
there is to be, comes on.-N. Y. Herald.

The rem aims of the late Mr.. Perkins, &C.
companied by Dr.. Harmon and MIR. Dana,
arrived at Warren from Havana on the Isl

pointed for yesterday (Thursday the 3D. at
one and half o'clock from the residence of
the mother, Mrs. Gen. Perkins. A special
train was run out from this city on the Ma.
honlng Road carrying large number of the
business and social friends of the deceased,
and OF the family. Very many of those were
formerresidents Of Warren, which town has, i,
perhaps more than any other in Northern

inhabitants.
Ine funeral services were conducted by
me Rev. Nr. Clark, of the Presbyterian
Church, OF Warren, assisted by the Rev. Mr..
Blttenger, of the Euclid Street Presbyterian

Desperate ENCOUNTER.

Among the parties now in Washington,
urging upon Congress the necessity of pro-
Viding an effective Government for Arizona.
and laws which can be made active for the
protection OF life and property there, is Mr..
Silas st. John, formerly Of New York whose
desperate fight nt Dragon Springs, in Sep
tem6er last has already received notice from
the Press. The scene OF the encounter is
in the Gsdsden purchase, five miles west of
Fort buchanan. Aif. ST. John was the Su
perintendent OF station of the Overland
Mail Company, having with him as assistants
three Americans and three Mexicans. The
Mexlcans planned the murder of all their
comrades, in order that they might steal the
mules belonging to the line. Tbey made
their attack accordingly in the night time,
when the Americans were all asleep. One
ot their victims, James Burr, OF Watertown,
N. T., was instantly killed by blow with
q sledge' hammer, which crushed his skull.
Two others, Preston Cunningham and james
Dang, were rendered helpless and fatally
wounded before they had fairly awakened
from sleep.
st. John was aroused by the attack uppn
his comrades, and sprang from his bed in
time to meet the onslaught of the three des-
Paradoes who came at him with axes. A
oiow rom one Of them wounded him in the
nip. A second assailant struck him with
his axe, seVering the bone of his left arm so
that it hung by the flesh above Nothing
dsunted st. John knocked the scoundrel
down with his fist before he could aim an.
other blow, and then misunderstanding off
the blows at the same time-to his bed side,
where he got possession of his gun. The
assasSlns turned to flee, but hearing his gun
iall supposed him too weak to use it, and re.
turned to finish their bloody work. st. John
sui had his revolver, which he leveled
quick as thought and fired, his shot taking
such effect upon one OF the murderers that
ne SOON fell and died. The Mexicans then
fled in panic.
The sufferings Of the wounded man, living
alone for several days, far from succor, NAV
be imagined. He refused to give up, how.
ever, aho Kept watch all night, revolver in
hand and day or two afterwards crawled
,ar enough to open the gate of the c9ral and
let the iamished mules out to water and
grass. Relief came at last, and nine daus
aver me .t9M lie obtained the assistance of
surgeon, who amputated his wounded limb.
fortunately, the wound had not severed the
main artery, or the sufferer would have
speedily bled to death. A more desperate
struggle than this is scarcely to be found in
ne annals of frontier life. Its hero ia an
