A Citizen of Illinois Whipped
to Death in Texes.

"A letter from Mr. Frederick, Amthar,
who was recently driven out of Texas,
on some frivolous pretence, gives the
following account of the horrible whip
ping which a young man received at
Henderson, in that State, which resulted
in death:
"A young man from Illinois, by the
name of Evans, came to Henderson,
and while there was incautions enough

preferable to slave States, aud that he
thought slavery was wrong. These
statements. as far as heard them, he
made in the mildest manner, and that

the, young men about town. am sat

saying anythink, except when conversa-
tion on the subject was forced upon him

young man, but told him that he ought
not to allow himself to be dragged into
talking on the topic. But he was not
careful. In December last, this young
man was taken out by a mob, without
a trial of anyking, and whipped to death

A case. the financial Importance OF
which d es not exceed 500, has been
on trial in Chittenden county, Vermont,
for nearly fortnight. The number of
witnesses is not very large, but the
Judge writes down all the testimony,
as if it were trial for murder or high
treason, and the lawyers dawdle away
in the most leisurly manner. Ifsuch a
style oftrying causes doesn't put stop
to litigation, it is difficult TO conceive
what will.

There are now more spots on the
sun than have been seen before for
many years. Some of these are visible
through smaked glass to the naked
eye. Several stars, some of them of
great brilliancy, which from their ascer-
tanned distance must have been as large
as our sun, have totally disappeared
from the sky; and the question has been
raised among astronomers, whether the
light and heat of the sun are gradually
fading away. As this would be accom-
panied by the destruction of all the
plants and animals on the earth, it is
rather an interesting question. The
suns light and heat are diminished by
the dark spots at the present time abou.

The falling leaves Of Autumn find our
gamers full Of wheat Warehouses are
crowded and steamers groan with the
varied products Of the harvest.
In every section Of the State during
the past summer, the sentiment Of the
Psaimist was applicable, The pastures
were clothed with focks, the valleys al
SO stood SO thick with grain that they
shouted for joy, and sang" In the
gathering of crops there has been un-
wonted health.
Bright skies and pure air greeted the
reaper from day to day, and the farmer,
now that his labor is over, finds his
family free from the diseases so common
in lower latltudes, and ready to enjoy the
abundance with which they have been
blessed.
Hope is seen in every face, and the day
seems not far off when there shall be a
complete recovery ON embarrassments
caused by the late financial reyulson.
Not only are our people fed with the
"inest of wheat" but peace prevails
within our horders While foreign
lands are convulsed by revolution, and
exposed to the horrors of civil war, our
citizens, from every nation under Heav-
en-, are tolerant, and in the midst of the
excitement incident to Presidential
election, maintain the courtesies Of life,
exhibiting the power Of self-government
in a high degree
ln view of our manifold blessings and
increasing prosperity, it seems highly
appropriate to give thanks unto the

"lnsanity is one Of those diseas.
cs which respects neither fortune,
sex, class, or position deprives
man of his most precious gift-rea-
son-and takes him from his God
and his fellow-creatures. 1t is in

selves, are placed at the head Of

not. for fear-that in fixing the
