An act of hellish barbarity, unheard OF tor
ture, and unsurpassed expedient, one which
would tinge with Il blush the cheek of In
dia's most daring, reckless Thug, was perpe-
trated in breckenridge county a few days
since. An old resident, AIMED John Boyd,
who lives about six miles from Hardinsburg,
on the HudsonTiile road, was aroused from
his bed on the night of the ;lst ultimo, by q
company of God save The mark home guards.
MIR. Boyd, who IS an elderly gentleman his
head having been frosted By the touch OF full
sixty winters, left his bed, and. Upon the sum

having striped him for half an hour, his shirt
cut into tatters and body reeking with blood,
the work OF torture was N erclfully ceased.
The old man was I'm tied and asked if he
would DO,r take the oath. Like one conscious
of having done no wrong, aud suffered no
ignominy, with the stencil of moral pltre-
faction upon the body OF his interrogators,
he answered no. He was then taken 10 Camp
