Extraordinary Shooting.

The st. Louis Bulletin, of May Z, has an
account of the various exploits of sharp
shooter in that city, and thus relates one of
them Mr. Whitehead first made few shots
at target with rife and ball, boring hole
directly through the centre every time He
then stationed a man at the distance of ten
PAGES, and shot at a half dollar which the
person held between the thumb and finger of
his hand, hitting the piece of money in the
centre and knocking it out two or three times
The crowning feature of the performance
was, however, TO come. Mr. T. F. Lennox
stationed himself at a distance of ten PAGES
and placed a common lemon on the top Of his
head. Whitehead took pistol and aimed at
the fruit. The ball entered fairly in the CEN
tire and cut the lemon in two. We would not
forget TO mention that Mr.. Lennox, on whose
head the lemon was, stood with arms folded
and coolly smoked his pipe. Had he moved
an inch, or had the skill of Whitehead failed
his soul would have been sent instantly to
eternity. We scarcely know whom to admire
the most Lennox for his intrepidity, or the
marksman for his skill. We think Mr. Fred.
Whitehead is justly entitled to the champion
ship among marksmen, aud unless some one
can surpass him he viii claim it.

The greatest anxiety in regard to the Bal
timore Convention on the 10th of june, is felt
BY the Douglas and anti-DOuglas parties.
Whether the seeding States viii send del
egates, or if any, whether they will be the
ones who seeded from the Charleston Con-
vention, is a serious question for the shatter-
ed Democracy. Senator Toombs has written
Southern Address urging the seeding DEL
gates to return. A Washington dispatch to
the N. 7. Tribune says 'that no doubt is now
entertained that the two wings Of the De
mocacy will now come together at Balti-
more, and re-unite in the fullest harmony, if
any opening be offered by the Chicago nomi-
nee" So the majority of the Democratic and
Douglas press at the North afirms.
On the other hand, telegraphic dispatches
Of one day only, bring news Of Democratic
mass meetings at Mobile, at Montgomery and
at Atlanta, at each of which the course Of
the seceders was sustained, and at the two
f57idsr, delegates were appointed to the
Richmond Southern Convention on the llth
OF June. The Richmond Enquirer says that
the delegates from the Cotton States "iaith-
fully discharged the trusts that had been COM
mitted to their keeping" and that "the at
tempt to fll their places with patched-up bo-
gus delegations, may cause the indignant
rejection Of the Baltimore nomination by ev-
sry Southern State
So the doctors disagree, and the ague-
stricken Democracy quakes with fear.

a pIan aarpsa J. tls s.s.s IN rs.a..

The New York Tribune contains the follow
ing particulars Of the burning Of a white man
at the stake in Texas, brief mention of which
was in the telegraphic advices of yesterday:
BUCHANAN, Texas, April 25, 1860.
Allow me to place in your columns for the
following recital tale Of horror; but one of
many of which this section of our country is
the theater but which for obvious reasons are
kept out of the public prints; and especially
out Of those honest and patriotic sheets which
would hold them up in their true oOlors to the
detestation of an enlightened people. A
young man, whose name and residence | shall
suppress for fear of narrowing the feelings Of
a fond mother and sisters to whom ignorance
is bliss, came into this country as ''colpor-
teur;n he had valuable stock ofbooks maps,
&c, consisting mainly of Bibles and religious
works, the standards of the Christian world,
histories, tPrescOtts and others), school books
and aliases and unfortunately for him, a few
copies Of the "Impending Crisis and some
tracts iavoring the cause Of Freedom.
These were accidentally seen by some in
tense Pro-Slaveryites, who raised the hue and
cry against the od-d Yankee Abolition
Book Pedler" A mob soon had him in their
clutches, and he was at once numerically
fogged, and robbed of his wagon and his con
tents Here, perhaps, the affair would have
ended, but just at this juncture a negro man
was brought upon the ground, purporting to
have been caught running away from his
master with forged free pass in his pocket;
he, the negro, was henceforth lashed to a tree,
and after a most barbarous beating he was
told to say who had given him the pass; the
halfdead and terrified negro, glad of a chance
to save himself and well knowing who his
captOrs wished him 10 accuse, pointed out the
colporteur, adding also, in answer TO artful
questions, that he had received knife from
the pedler, with the advice to take it and cut
his way to freedom, and to burn his masters
house over his head for the barbarous treat
ment be had received Now of all this there
was no proof but the word of the negro, who
would have told anything to procure his own
release; and yet it was enough for the infuri-
ated mob, now numbering about $50 owners
of slaves, their overseers and sons.
After short consultation the poor man
was delivered into the hands of six of the most
furious Of the crowd.
Thse rolled the wagon under a tree, covered
it over with dry faggots and over the whole
of it poured a barrel Of tar having first
stripped their victim and immersed him in the
same, they passed rope around his neck and
over limb Then raising him so that his
toes barely touched the top of the combustible
pile, the negro was made to apply the burning
torch, and thus the fearful tragedy closed in
the flames of the hellishly eoncocted funeral
pile, and the shrieks of the agonized victim.
In justice to outraged humanity, must say
that this was witnessed by those who would
have had it otherwise, but too few TO avail
aught against the infuriated mass

were pushed back at all points, and told that
Tom was whipping Heenan, which seemed to
have the same magic effect upon them as up
on their predecessor, and after a while they
ceased to push, and with the exception Of ex-
postulatons, actually became like the rest Of
US, spectators Of the scene. Their presence
was, therefore, simply demonstration to save
appearances-at the bottom there was no real
opposition to the fight. Later on, however,
when tine fight was turning against Sayers
their presence was put to good account-it
then became convenient to obey them.

The Leader appears this morning in a new
dress, which for beauty and neatness oftypo-
graphical appearance, is abundantly able to
speak for itself Il is also enlarged by the
addition Of one column to each page, aud
several improvements hare been msde in the
Arrangement Of the Advertisements and read
ing matter. On the first page we shall here
after publish all the City news on the sec
Ond, the editorial and news..matter, the same
as heretofore; on the third page, stories and
misoellanies and on the fourth page the
Telegraphic, Market and Marine, news. This
feature in the arrangement of the matter will
commend itself to our advertising friends.
1t win be the aim Of the publishers to
maintain the position heretofore occupied by
the Leader, and to keep its readers posted in
the latest news Of the day.
With the advent Of the Leader in its new
habiliments, orperhaps more appropriately, its
new armor, commences probably the most
exciting and important Presidential campaign
ever known in the history of our country,
and the Leader win be among the foremost
in the conflict and viii fight a good tight for
the cause of the great and glorious Republi-
can party.
Our dress was furnished through the Prin-
ting Material Agency of Messrs.. W. W.T.&S.
D. Day, Cincinnati; and was manufactured
st the Foundry of L, johnson, Philadelphia.
The credit of the superior typographical
arrangement of the new dress belongs to the
freman of the Leader Newsroom, Mr.. S. H.
Brady. The presswork is done under the
superintendenee of Mr. J. T. Newman,
the foreman of the Press-Room. How
he has performed his duty, our readers can
Judge for themselves. The superior white
paper upon which the Leader has been print
ed for the last two years, is manufactured at
The Lake Erie Paper Mil, an institution our
city may wen be proud Of The jet black
ink which is used in printing our paper is
from the mandatory of Oliver Burr, Troy,
New York, who makes the best news ink we
have ever used.
In conclusion, the Publishers viii improve
this occasion to tender their acknowledge
ments to the many friends of the Leader for
the very liberal support that has been given
70 II, and it win be their endeayor to merit a
continuance of their good viii.

A Suggestion TO the Republicans Of CIevs-
land.

In less than three days the campaign viii
be fairly opened by the nomination of the next
president at Chicago. Would it not be well
to take steps to erect a Wigwam in Cleveland
to be used as the Republican Headquarters,
and as a place to hold our meetings. The ex-
pense of erecting such Wigwam to hold say
1900 to 1000 people need not be very heavy
as the lumber can be sold for nearly its cost
after the contest is over. A central location
could be obtained, perhaps by leasing the va
can't lot on Superior. street just above the Post
oHice, or the lot in the rear Of Eorthrup &
Spanglers Block, fronting on Seneca street.
Such building for our Headquarters would
serve our purpose much better than any Hall
