LYNCH LAw-The negro Lewis, who MUIR
dcrcd his overseer Mr.. james l.. Davis about
two weeks ago. was caught last Tuesday On
plantation adjoining that Of Maj. Cooke, to
whom he belonged. He was taken by the
citizens of that neiehborhood and chained to
log and burned to death. Just before the
torch was applied, he addressed his fellow
servants, many Of whom had gathered around,
and admunished them to take warning by his
fate. He made full confession of his guilt,
and acknowledged the justice of the punish
meut he was about to receive. We are no ad-
vocatc Of lynch law, but there are circum-
stances connected with the murder of Mr..
Davis, which, perhaps in measure justify
his friends in having taken the law into their
own hands.-Tuskcgec Ala Republican,

RAILROAD MEETING At LEEsvlLLE.-Wc
attended the Railroad meeting and barbacuc
at Lersvlle on last Friday. The assemblage
was large and respectable. At II o'c!ocl,
Gen. p. Quattlcbum made a few brief and
and pertinent remarks, after which he pre-
sented to the audience Col. Wm. Johnston,
President oflhe Charlotte and Columbia Road.
Mr.. Johnston spoke about an hour, in plain
and lucid manner. He isa man of considerable
cypcrcnce in Railroad matters, and I'LL that
he said The people may place confidence in.
The list was then presented for subscription,
and about ten tllorsad dollas put down. We
had expected more than this Of Lccsville, but
we are satisfied with it rs a beginning, and
hope our friends Of iha' section, after little
sober reflection, will, if they do absolutely
want the road. at least double the amount.
The District Fair of Elyeiicll was being held
Oh the day oftEe meeting and no doubt caused
some TO be absent who will yet subscribe.
The committee Of arrangements deserve
praise for the excellent manner in which tho
