We have at last positive information from
Mississippi touching the hanging (reported
BY telegrapb) OF three house-csrpeDters at
Friar's Point in that State, for the alleged
crime Of 'sinciting slaves to rebellion" A
ginning establishment was burned ~ or near
the Point, and the FIRE was supposed to be
the work Of IN incendary. A negro, . slave,
suspected Of the offence, was subjected to the
discipline Of the plantation; and between
every instalnent Of dozen blows with the
cat o. nine-tails, was asked to confess tina,
he was instigated by white men-of course
white men from the North. After he had
endured the punishment until nearly beaten
TO death, his forti.ude gave way, and be
gasped out that certain lrboring men ON .
job in the neighborhood we're the real au-
thors OF the act. OF these, three men only,
and they from the free States, were without
other than mob Law, hung. Two were Amer

bodies were treated with the inaignity that
