HANDSOME PREsEET TO THE CITT OF MERHrs.-The
Memphis Enquirer states that on the 18th inst Mayor
BAuGH received letter from the Hon. WM. T. AvERY
accompanying package containing a large map or
drawing of the present site of the old city of Mem

which is the great Sphinx, the other two of the
Pyramids supposed to be erected by the kings of
Memphis. These articles were forwarded by Hon.
JAMES WILLIAMS, our minister to oonstantinople, to
be presented to our city authorizes. The map will
possess interest to the classical reader and is eIe
gantly and tastesully gotten up. The photographs.
however, possessed most interest to u.s. One Of
these is the Great Pyramid of Cheops, near ancient
Memphis. As it was first built its base was 7e4
feet square-nclined height Gil inches perpendicu-
lar height ISL feet and covered thirteen one
rod and twenty two poles. The Pyramid it stands
at present is GAG feet square at its base with an in
clned height of sos feet inches and perpendicu-
lar height of 450 feet inches, and an area
of twelve acres, three rods, and three poles
The cubic feet of masonry in this Pyramid is So
02S 000-the height in tons, 6,S49O 0O This photo
graph is elegant and lifeke, and on It the Sphinx
the body of which is las feet and the circumference
of the head around the forehead l02 feet appears
very insignificant affair. Another is large pho
tograph picture of the greatSp and exhibits that
great work of art in strong proportions. Next is 3
fine photograph of the Second Pyramid, which, al
built, was 7O7 feet nine inches square. Its former
height asa feet, nine inches; its present heigh
AL feet six inches. It's former base covered clever
acres, rood, and thlrty-eight poles presentarei
of base ten acres, three roods, and thirty pole
The last is an elegant photograph of the Pyramid
S1ckarrah, near Memphis.
The map and Photographic pictures were designed
to accompany a statuary and other fragments of an
tquity exhumed from the ruins of that old capital
which have already been shipped to the care of
citizen Of Memphis for presentation to the city, Tn
statuary is expected shortly. In the meantime tn
map and photograph pictu'es will be presented t

LynchinR in Lawrence County. Kentucky
"a Man Rescued from abe Authorities
and Hung by Mob.

MOTH OF SANDY, KY, Sept. Is, 1850.
To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
As an item of news give you the particulars of
of lynching which occurred in this neighbor-
hood to-day You will probably recollect that about
four or five weeks ago a man named Auldrich, who
had been released from confinement in the Peniten-
tiary a few weeks previous, murdered his sister
and his son, who were important witnesses against
him in a case wherein he was charged with having
committed rape upon the sister whom he so cruel
ly murdered. The body of the sister was cut near
y in two with ak, and thrown into the Big Sandy
river and the son taken some distance into the
woods, and there murdered by his brutal father.
He made his escape after saying he intended to kill
his father and mother.
Auldrich was arrested IN Greenbriar county, Va,
few days since. and taken to Louisa, Lawrence
county, KY, where quite number of the citizens
of the neighborhood in which Audrich lived, (about
thirty miles above Louisa,) took him from the au-
thOrtes and hung him without the benefit of trial.
The father and brothers o. the unfortunate man, /
learn advised the people to pursue this course. 1t
is commended that Auldrch could not have been con-
vIcted before any jury in the United States mas
much as there no positive evidence against HIM
NOT circumstantial evidence-though there is
not person on Big Sandy that doubts he was gull.
ty. This much however, is known, that he violated
the person of his sister, for which crime he
rested upon her complaint AID confined In the Lou
lisa jail, from which he made his escape a few days
before the murders were committed. If mistake
not, he threatened the life of his sister. The whole
community, far and near are much excited

PUTTING IT on RATHER TOO TMcK.-The BELL Com
mittee of this State have published appeal to the
people of the United States which to be intend
ed particularly for the Northern States, have
not yet seen it in a Southern paper. They assure
the people of the North that from the indications
they are satisfied that BELL and EVERETT will receive
the Electoral votes of large majority of the South
ern States" The Committee are either very easily
humbugged, or they are attempting to humbug most
egregiousy the people of the North The idea of BELL
and EVERETT getting the electoral votes of large
any majority is simply absurd. preposterous and
ridiculous.

for or indifference to the success Of BELL over
BKEczNRDGE. But we do appeal to those Of the
rank and file who have regarded Mr.. DoUGIls as
the regular nomineeof the party. Win they longer
follow him in his mad career? Win they longer aid
him in his effort to defeat Mr.. BREckNRrDeE and
thus hand over to the lifelong enemies of Democ-
racy the only reliable Democratic States? We have
an abiding confidence that the rejecting consderate,
DOUGLAS Democrats in the South will at the ballot
box give an emphatic Z" NO in response to our in
terrogstOries. Then all win be well Then the
proud banner of the Constitution, the Union. and
Equality of the States and the citizen will still oa

Coon FOR You've have been told that the only
wav to defeat Mr.. Breckenridge was to abuse him
hut if a canvass can only be won with faIsehood, II
is not worth the winning. The end does not justify
the means, and we will not if we know it, do Mr.
Breckenridge injustice.
He is a southern man, and we have no doubt is as
to the South any southern President we ever
had. We thought so when we recommended him
for the Charleston nomination, and while his accep
lance of another than the National nomination may
awaken Just doubts to his party featy yet we dc
not think that he has become either freesoiler

Some of the Opposition are endeavoring to create
the impression that the President removed Col.
BARBOUR, Superintendent of the Arsenal at Har-
per's Ferry, because he was DOUGLAS man. Col

President refused to accept it. Will those papers
that have circulated the report have the magnann-

assembled at the depot. he came and was received
nv such cheers as Democrats can give. a beautiful
omen garbage drawn by milk white horses, all deco
rated with Breckenridge and Lane banners was
ready 70 receive HIM. From thence he was escorted
through the souare to his residence where thanking
his friends for their kindness and zeal he took leave
of them. promising to meet them at the State Bank
after supper. and give report OF the progress Of
the battle in East Tennessee.
After supper the "Blues'' escorted him from his
residence down to the Bank steps, where very
large crowd had gathered to hear HIN speak. His
speech was one of those soustirring sprit-rouslng
speeches which he alone can make. No man has
stronger hold upon the hearts of the Maury De-
mocracy than Whitthorne-in no one have they more
confidence, and while he told them how braEely and
well the battle was going in East Tennessee-while
they were filled with delight they we're also filled
